Pay it Forward Contest
The complete and overly-exhaustive rules are over through that link, but the basic idea is that to enter this contest, you leave a comment on this blog before noon on Friday July 4th, U.S. Pacific Time. If you win, I send you a prize. When you get the prize, you run a Pay it Forward contest on your own blog. If you don't have a blog, I will choose a second commenter, and that will be the winner of your Pay it Forward contest.
The prize for the Baby Names Pay it Forward will be a copy of Laura Wattenberg's excellent baby name book The Baby Name Wizard. If this isn't a prize you're interested in, don't despair! Go over to the list of other participants---there's sure to be a prize or two in there you're interested in winning.
The comment can be anything ("Me me me!" "You are SO RAVISHINGLY BEAUTIFUL!" "I am entering"), but if you feel tongue-tied, why not leave the most unusual baby name you've ever encountered?

I'm going to shake things up a bit and raise an adult name issue that I've encountered. There is an existing family member whose name is, oh, let's say, "Mary." Then another woman, also named "Mary," marries into the family, and the first Mary says, "We can't have two Marys. You'll have to go by your middle name, Louise, when you're around the family."
These are not people who spend a lot of time together. We're talking one or two family events a year. Is this common? (The adults in question are all 50+ and older.) I guess the important thing is whether or not it bothers Mary #2, but it bothers me! I think it's stupid.
Thanks for letting me share.

There's a little boy in AD's daycare class named Bethlehem, and that's the first name I've come across where I went, "weird".

My best friend made up her son's name, which is "Brylan." I want to ask her why the hell she didn't just call him "Brian."

A lady at work was pregnant and wanted to name her son LaDarien, but then her sister gave birth first and stole the name, so she decided to name him LaDeldrien instead. Made up much? And not confusing at all with cousins so similar.
Also, when my grandma was an L&D nurse, she had to talk a lady out of naming her twins Syphilis and Gonorrhea. She read those names in a pamphlet in her room and was pronouncing them Sa-PHIL-is and Ga-NORE-e-a.

I wrote about this on my old blog. NO ONE believes me, because there is also an urban legend about twins, one of which has this name. I was in charge of the "People" section of my high school yearbook - the section with everyone's class pictures. As I was putting it together, I came across a kid with the name "Lemonjello." I said out loud to the room, "Hey, there's a kid here named lemon jello." Someone answered, "Yeah, but it's pronounced le-MON-juh-low."
I have been on a quest to find that yearbook from my junior year (mine was ruined by Hurricane Hugo), so I could scan the page to prove it, but since I haven't been in touch with ANYONE from high school in almost 20 years, I haven't had any luck. When I do, there will definitely be a post.

Wow, Mary is being extremely rude. Damnit, I thought when I grew up, so would everyone else. I have to deal with the sophomoric behaviour of my age group for the rest of my life! If I were Mary 2, I'd tell her to put a sock in it.
I saw 2 brothers the other day, Xavier and Zion. Sort of cute as far as same sound sibsets go.
And swistle, if I can opt out of the contest, I'd like to do so right now. I don't have a blog and already have a copy of the BNW, which is great, by the way.

The first name is Ruby, which I think is really cute. Her middle name is Sapphire, which is weird with her first name, but how many times do you hear the first/middle together? Here's the unfortunate part: last name Diamond.

Hmm. I don't know how WEIRD this name is, but it's certainly unusual these days: Vivian. A little baby in the church nursery is named Vivian Rose, and honestly, I think it's beautiful, but a lot of people make weird faces when the mom tells them her name.
Oh, and her older brother's name is Whittaker, which probably IS certifiably weird, but I like that one, too.

Pick me, pick me! I love the baby name game, and would love that book. Hmmm, as far as unusual names, I have heard a few (being a former preschool teacher). But I'll pick one from a family friend who named their daughter Delicia, after a relative. They call her Della.

I would love a copy of this book, and will share two names of recently-born babies that I think might fall into the "well-intentioned but perhaps unintentionally a little strange" category:
Vienna [German last name which is also the name of a famous movie about a man's "List" in WWII]
The second one they liked the name Sullivan but thought it was too long- I don't think the verb "sully" occurred to them.

We don't have a whole lot of strange names up here in Northern MN, but my nephew's name (he's 9) is Lars and his dad's name is Hans. Norweigan much?
I'm not expecting, but I totally want that book - not only to freak out the husband, but also because I think names are so interesting (and want to know if my parents did a good job naming us kids ;-)).

I seriously need a new copy of TBNW. You know what mine looks like. Or I could hold out until the New Edition comes out, and make you get me that one.
I did once know a girl named Pepper, poor thing. I was only in fifth grade, but I can still feel the words coming out of my mouth: "What's your sister's name? Salt?" But, you've seen the names in my hometown. How can I narrow it down to one?
- July 2, 2008 at 12:36 PM
Oh, the repeating-name thing: I have a brother, Matt, and my sister married a Matt. We really, really wanted to call her husband "TOM" (as in, The Other Matt), but he didn't seem to like it much. So now we just specify them by their last names, or "so-and-so's Matt." It's awkward, but way better than informing a newcomer, "Now you have to go by this family-issued nickname. Welcome!"

Oh! I really, really, really want a copy of that book! I just don't want to have to go and actually BUY it since I already have a tons of baby names books and it seems silly since I know we should only have to name one more child, but STILL. I really, really, really want a copy.

I knew some people in high school who married each other's sisters - and they had the same name. (As in, Jane Doe married Jim Pepper and became Jane Pepper, while the original Jane Pepper married Bob Doe and became Jane Doe.) In other words, the girls switched names - confusing.

The most unusual baby name I ever encountered was for a lovely little girl named Shame Onja. Pronounced as if saying "shame on ya". By the time she got to elementary school she went by her middle name and spelled it differently: Anya. She cried when the other kids in her second grade class discovered her full name and teased her about it. It broke my heart.

I would be very interested in this book, if only to be a mini-Swistle to my friends. Last week we had a friend from church who had their baby and couldn't decide on what to name the poor child - well, the mama had a firm idea, but the daddy, not so happy with the idea. And I thought I was indecisive! I wanted so much to email you on their behalf, but refrained. I still don't know what name they decided upon!

In military history, a nutcracker is where two nations, either side of a strong one attack on both fronts, making it near impossible for the cracker'd country to win. This was how world war II was won, when the soviet union attacked Germany, eventually pushing it inwards. The best defence against this is to merely use a small battalion of guerilla-styled troops to bombard all the attack points of the weaker and less enthusiastic enemy with long range weaponry, while taking the main army to the main enemy. The weaker enemy will just camp up while the stronger enemy, disheartened to hear the nutcracker did not work, will have to go solo.
The French attempted to nutcracker the English and Welsh by means of alliance with Scotland. When the countries united in 1705, the new United Kingdom was an almost invincible force on home territory.

To try to classify what exactly Clefable does is a monumental task. The reason for Clefable's greatness lies in her unique ability, Magic Guard. With Magic Guard, Clefable will only be hurt by attacking moves, which makes her a dream come true for anyone who hates stall, and a nightmare for stall users, who find their status effects and entry hazards rendered useless. Her stats may seem to leave much to be desired, but her movepool stretches out to the stars, giving her unparalleled versatility. Clefable can fill many roles, including supporting the team with Wish, sweeping with Calm Mind, wallbreaking with a mixed set, and more.
However, despite all of Clefable's perks, she does have some major flaws that drag her down. Even Magic Guard cannot mask Clefable's rather meager stats, which ensure that Clefable will always have trouble either walling things or garnering the power to 2HKO and OHKO targets. Her Normal typing is also much more of a curse then a blessing, leaving her with nothing in the way of resistances and a weakness to Fighting-type attacks, which are popular in UU. Regardless, Clefable makes for the ultimate "glue" Pokemon and can fit on nearly any team.
Though she may be looked at as a poor man's Chansey, Clefable has two big notable advantages over the pink pudgy egg blob: a usable Special Attack stat and access to Encore. Unfortunately, due to the way Clefable is played, she can only take advantage of one of these perks at a time. Ice Beam is the recommended choice because it allows Clefable to break Rotom's Substitutes, as well as provide a nice hit on Torterra and Venusaur. Encore was extremely useful in the past when Ghost-types were running sets with both Substitute + Taunt, but they have now fallen out of favor and been replaced by straight-up Taunt + 3 attacks sets, making Encore somewhat useless against them. Still, Encore is an amazing tool in Clefable's arsenal that allows her to beat multiple Pokemon in UU who rely on Substitute, such as SubPerior and Substitute + Charge Beam Lanturn.
Depending on how team-oriented you'd like Clefable to be, Softboiled and Wish are both great recovery options. However, a downside to using Wish without Protect is that Clefable is unable to survive attacks that would otherwise only 3HKO it. Seismic Toss provides consistent damage to everything (excluding Ghost-types) and is the best attack Clefable has against walls like Registeel. Thunder Wave spreads paralysis and helps Clefable's Encore cripple Pokemon later in the match much more easily. Heal Bell makes Clefable more of a team supporter by ridding your sweepers of all status effects.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Clefable is unarguably one of the best stallers in the UU metagame. This stems from her immunity to all kinds of passive damage, including entry hazards and damaging statuses such as burn and Toxic which usually cripple other walls. In addition to this, Clefable packs great overall defenses, pseudo-instant recovery in the form of Wish and Protect, and Seismic Toss to deal consistent damage against foes that can otherwise shut Clefable down with Taunt. Aside from stalling, Clefable can also provide some valuable team support via Wish and Toxic or Heal Bell. Toxic is always useful to cripple opposing walls that are difficult to beat otherwise, such as Milotic, whereas Heal Bell's ability to cure your team of status can easily prove useful against opponents who possess Pokemon that like to abuse status-inducing moves.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Calm Mind Clefable is one of the most dangerous and overlooked threats for defensive teams in UU. Unlike most Calm Mind sweepers, Clefable has solid physical bulk and lacks easily exploitable weaknesses. In addition, Magic Guard grants Clefable an immunity to entry hazard and poison damage, rendering the majority of a stall team's strategy ineffective. To top it all off, an instant recovery move in Softboiled means that even whittling down Clefable's health through repeated weak attacks is not an option.
Calm Mind and Softboiled form the core of the set, allowing Clefable to set up on weaker attackers while recovering lost health. Thunderbolt and Ice Beam are the preferred attacking moves, since together they hit every Pokemon in UU with the exception of Lanturn, Magneton, and Shedinja for at least neutral damage. Lanturn and Magneton are setup bait for Clefable anyway, while Shedinja is rarely seen and easily disposed of with Stealth Rock. In addition, Thunderbolt and Ice Beam provide vital super effective coverage against key threats. Thunderbolt zaps Milotic and its fellow Water-types, while Ice Beam nails Ground- and Grass-types, such as Donphan, Rhyperior, and Venusaur.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
It seems ridiculous to think that Clefable could pull off a wallbreaker set when there are offensive behemoths available like Blaziken, who sports 120/110 attacking stats in comparison to Clefable's rather meager 70/85. However, with Magic Guard negating the recoil from Life Orb and Double-Edge, and Softboiled to heal off any damage that Clefable sustains, Clefable is an almost prefect wallbreaker. Double-Edge plows through special walls like Chansey, managing a guaranteed 2HKO even without entry hazards. Fire Blast roasts Grass- and Steel-types like Venusaur and Registeel, while Grass Knot trips up Rhyperior and Slowbro. Softboiled keeps Clefable in tip-top shape so she can continue to break down the opposing team.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set is infamous for dismantling stall teams because of its powerful boosting move, Calm Mind, coupled with immunities to entry hazards and Toxic. Since stall teams rely primarily on residual damage to defeat opposing Pokemon, their attacking moves are almost always backed by zero EV investment and are consequently most efficient at chipping down frail Pokemon that lack recovery. However, Clefable is neither frail, nor does she lack a reliable recovery move. By alternating Calm Mind with Softboiled, Clefable is able to insolently set up right in the face of common defensive Pokemon like Milotic, Chansey, Weezing, and Donphan. Once she reaches +6/+6, she can use the almost-perfect coverage granted by Ice Beam and Thunderbolt to calmly pick apart the opposing team.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Clefable, due to her immense special bulk and amazing ability, has many chances to come in and set up dual screens. What separates Clefable from other dual screen users is her access to Wish and a wide variety of support moves, which most dual screen users lack. While Softboiled is the more reliable healing move, Wish can help your other teammates immensely by restoring 50% of their health as they switch in. If keeping Clefable fully functional isn't a concern to you, then Encore can be used to ruin opposing Pokemon trying to set up on her. Seismic Toss is there so that Clefable isn't complete Taunt bait, and it's your best option to deal a respectable amount of damage to a wide variety of foes. Ice Beam is also an option to get a good hit on Ghost-types, but since Clefable's main focus with this set is to support a sweeper on your team, this isn't a large concern.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Generally, FEAR sets are shunned as being nothing but gimmicks due to the wide use of Stealth Rock. Clefable, however, manages to break the mold with Magic Guard. The idea behind this set is simple: switch Clefable in on a non-damaging move or after something on your team has been KOed, survive a hit with Focus Sash, and then Endeavor. This set is meant to be used with sandstorm, hail, or Toxic Spikes, which will finish off the opponent at the end of the turn. Even if the opposing Pokemon happens to be immune to your weather of choice, entry hazards will ensure that the fatally crippled Pokemon won't be able to do much of anything for the rest of the match.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Clefable's gargantuan movepool gives her nearly endless options to play around with, allowing her to fill almost role you may need. Clefable has access to Stealth Rock, but she usually gets more mileage out of a different support move. Clefable can also pull off a Trick set with a Flame Orb to cripple many of her checks, but as with Stealth Rock, she usually has better things to do. A Belly Drum set is an interesting option considering Clefable's access to Softboiled to heal off Belly Drum recoil, but Clefable will rarely find an opportunity to set it up against a good team. Clefable also has access to Healing Wish, Gravity, Cosmic Power, and Knock Off, but these options tend to be done better by other Pokemon or are just gimmicks.
Checks and Counters
Clefable is very hard to counter due to the numerous different sets and moves she can run. However, there are plenty of individual counters for each set. The support and stall sets can be easily handled by almost any Fighting-type. Hariyama gets special mention due to the fact that paralysis is actually beneficial for him, as it protects him from the more debilitating burn and poison. The Calm Mind sets are a bit tougher to handle, but bulky Fighting-types such as Hariyama and Hitmontop will work well. The wallbreaker is much harder to switch into, but laying on offensive pressure will prevent it from accomplishing much. Finally, if all else fails, Perish Song can ensure that any Clefable will not accomplish anything if it's the last Pokemon.

Review This Item
If you like spending time around water, but fishing your binos out of a pond or snowbank isn't what you had in mind, never fear. The BUSHNELL H2O 10x26 Compact Binoculars (151026) have a waterproof construction and textured, non-slip rubber pads, which give you a grip on the situation, even where it is slippery, wet and wild.
This compact model has an inverted porro-prism design for high quality and reduced size. The H20 series binoculars are O-ring sealed and nitrogen purged to completely lock out moisture should you spill, take one overboard, or simply run into foul weather along the way. Rubber armoring with textured pads gives you a grip in slippery situations.
Multi-coated optics and premium-quality BaK-4 prism glass maximize light transmission and image clarity. You'll quickly see how a little planning on the part goes a long way to magnify your adventures on and around the water.
Try Bushnell H2O Binoculars. They go where other binoculars can't!

As most of us locals now, Florida isn't all about the glam of South Beach and arty grittiness of Wynwood. There's a whole big state out there, where alligators are free to roam. Scott Disick found this out, as viewers witnessed on the most recent episode of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.
The father of Kourtney Kardashian's two kids decided to go out and make himself a pair of shoes the old-school way. The episode was filmed the last day of gator hunting season, Nov. 1, 2012.
To guide Disick in his efforts was Florida resident Vienna Girardi, Jake Pavelka's pick on The Bachelor, season 14. (Fans of the franchise may recall that the two ended things bitterly; the pilot is now dating Kristin Chenoweth.)
Girardi's family owns a peanut farm in tiny Geneva, in Seminole County. Her mother, Tina Scott, also runs a roadside stand called Tina's Peanut Hut. The alligator farm where E! cameras rolled is steps away.
Despite Kim Kardashian's protests at the kill — Tori Spelling was another one to speak out against Disick, who also skinned the reptile and ate it — Girardi says this practice is perfectly normal.
"I kind of take offense to that," said Girardi, who recently moved to Boca Raton and works at a financial company. "People wear leather and you don't hear any complaints. This is what animals are put on this planet for. And we use every part, we don't waste any of it."
Besides the fallout, Girardi had a positive experience filming. "Khloe was very sweet and Scott was adorable. He was so nice to everybody and so funny," she said.
Girardi was pleased her family came out looking OK.
"I know a lot of people think that Southern people are dumb. I didn't want that impression. I've seen all these reality shows about rednecks and I didn't like how they are portrayed. They're good, simple, honest people."
Don't look for any more reality matchmaking shows for Girardi, who is currently single.
"You really don't get to know the person," she said of her experience on the ABC hit. "You get what producers want you to see."
Girardi wouldn't rule out doing a series on her beloved hometown. Population: less than 3,000. "I think it'd be funny. I love seeing people's reactions when they stop there to get gas or something. They are in shock, looking around like they just entered The Twilight Zone."

Pickling is all in the family for Jesse and Katie Hancock, founders of Unbound Pickling. The Portland, Oregon, couple prepares unique signature varieties in their own kitchen, using recipes they create together and the freshest seasonal ingredients sourced from the nearby Willamette Valley and around the Pacific Northwest. Crunchy and more savory than traditional bread-and-butter pickles, their version is prepared with a small amount of cane sugar, for a sophisticated twist on the classic flavor. The pickles are made in small batches and hand packed with thinly sliced onions, fresh blueberries and dried pears, which add a touch of natural sweetness. Perfect on sandwiches and cheeseburgers, the pickles are also delicious chopped and mixed into tuna or chicken salad—or simply straight from the jar. For the ultimate flavor and crunch, chill before serving.

Thule Introduces Best-in-Class Camera Bags for Outdoor Photographers
Thule makes great roof racks, bike and ski and boat mounts, rooftop boxes, and snow chains. It makes laptop and table bags that Apple likes so much that they're sold in the company's stores around the world. Thule's luggage is as rugged as its racks.
Last week, Thule announced its newest category of uber-durable, highly-functional product: camera bags. Called the Perspektiv collection, these bags aren't like anything you've seen before. They have an Ikea-like aesthetic—clean Scandinavian design all the way—with features that show these bags were designed by photographers with other photographers in mind.
The six bags in the line range from backpacks, to SLR carries, to messenger bags, to an action sports case. They've all got waterproof zips, welded and taped seams, and most have hidden raincovers for extreme weather.

As a former employee at Riverview Psychiatric Center, I state that some of the best health care providers I have ever known work there. The compassion and commitment shown there are truly inspiring.
"Staff, training, time and optimism" help establish the kind of ties between patients and caregivers that ensure safety at places like Riverview Psychiatric Center, above, says a former employee of the state psychiatric facility.
2004 Kennebec Journal File Photo/Joe Phelan
Current difficulties may not lie in the legal status of those served, but likely in the commitment to providing the resources to maintain fidelity to the principles of the organization. Treatment for persistent mental health conditions is primarily delivered through relationships.
Although it may seem counterintuitive, Tasers, restraints, seclusion and other forms of force do not make the staff or the patient safer. They make the hospital more dangerous.
Great treatment from trained staff who have the time and skill to establish a therapeutic alliance with the patient is the best way to ensure safety and facilitate recovery. Force and control breed fear, lead to more violence, erode the benefit from treatment and ironically predict the patient's future resistance to treatment.
Riverview has the answers to address the problems it faces; they dwell in the minds of their best employees.
Providing enough staff to spend time doing the vital work of engagement; develop and nurture the therapeutic relationship; and deliver the best treatment will make the facility safer. These steps take staff, training, time and optimism.
Reaching a helping hand to a distressed, scared, confused person always involves risk to the person reaching out. When those treated perceive the person trying to help is an aggressor, risk rises.
The practice of trauma-informed care teaches us that those served in hospitals like Riverview have a life history of being the victims of violence, assault, neglect and injury. Many are oversensitive to "controls"; add in disturbances in perception, and you have fertile ground for violent reactions.
Force in hospitals does not make them safer. Compassion and relationships make for safer environments.

Description of 92-year-old reinforces anti-old age bias
Speaking as a septuagenarian, almost an octogenarian, I read with interest "Study seeks 'super ager' secrets to brain health" (Aug. 25).
In her otherwise well-written article, Associated Press reporter Lindsey Tanner makes a common journalism error that I often pointed out last year to social work students in my Maryland gerontology courses. Turner describes a 92-year-old woman as looking "far younger than her 92 years." No, that is what 92 looks like!
When a reporter told Gloria Steinem on the occasion of her 40th birthday that she didn't look 40, Steinem retorted, "This is what 40 looks like -- we've been lying for so long, who would know?"
It has become common in our culture to tell an elderly person, as a kind of compliment, that they look younger than their chronological age. This, however, is ageism.
What one is really saying is that it is better to look younger than older, reinforcing the prejudice against old age and undermining an elder's self-worth.

Facts supported the closure of 'Pineland-type facilities'
George Fogg's Aug. 18 rant against deinstitutionalization ("Letters to the editor: Deinstitutionalization puts unstable people on the street") is factually wrong.
Deinstitutionalization was not fashioned by liberals. It began with the medical profession and social science research that came to realize that many people detained in Pineland-type facilities should not be there.
Many were not handicapped or dangerous -- they were drug users or alcoholic, had post-traumatic stress disorders or were simply old/senile. Many were not properly diagnosed prior to (or after) their detention.

Lace Fit and Flare Gown with Bubble Hem Style WG3565 7 7
Better than the picture I agree with others that pictures do not do this dress justice. After having no luck with the dresses I had preselected, my sister and I were instructed to just "go through the racks" to find a gown. Luckily, my sister has an eye for this kind of thing and found this dress. I hadn't seen it online...or I had seen it, thought it looked hideous and ignored it. But once I tried it on, it is really a very beautiful dress. It does hug curves beautifully and the bottom of the dress is not nearly as awkward as it looks in the photos. I also found the skirt fabric to be much more flowy than a lot of the other trumpet or mermaid gowns I tried on. If you have an hour glass shape and want to accentuate it, I would highly recommend trying this dress on. February 26, 2014
I absolutely love this gown. The pictures online do not do it justice. Its very lightweight and flowing, and the bubble hem skirt makes it much easier to walk in. Also, its perfect for those who are short or a little heavier. I tried it on in the store after recently having a baby and the design on this dress elongated me and hid all those problem areas that I don't want seen. January 9, 2014
Pretty & Unique This dress was exactly as beautiful in person as I had imagined when I first saw it on the website. It has a modern look that is extremely flattering. When I went to try on dresses, this was my "backup" in case my top choice didn't look the way I hoped it would. When I put this dress on though, I realized I wouldn't mind one bit if I ended up going with my second choice, because it really looked elegant, fun, and so pretty. It was heavier than some of the other dresses I tried on to be sure, but because it doesn't have a very long train, it's definitely manageable. December 29, 2013
Beautiful and Elegant I first bought a different dress from Davids Bridal, but recently decided I didn't like it anymore. I decided to try on more and right when I walked in I saw this dress on the Manikin..I immediately pointed and said "Ohh I love this dress!" ...I never thought I would actually get it because of the price, but I tried it on first and was completely in love. I tried on like 12 other dresses and I couldn't get my mind off of this one. So I got it! I am a size 10 in this dress (so an 8 in regular clothes) and 5'2..and it looks AMAZING on me..gives me the hour glass shape and my butt looks phenomenal :) ..I even had dreams about trying it on again. Can't wait to wear it again! OH and it actually looks better on me than it does on the model (model is too skinny for this dress in my opinion). October 7, 2013

The cinnamon-laced sweet rolls are still fabulously sticky and the menu is almost identical to the Brian's you may remember at 1409 N. Orange Ave., near downtown.
Brian Zipper is running the show with his mother, Sydele Homel, keeping a watchful eye on the place that made her late husband a local restaurant icon.
Paul Homel, who died in 2003, was known for offering home-cooked meals at restaurants he opened during a career that spanned almost 40 years in Central Florida. He opened Paul's Char Broil in Coytown Plaza on East Colonial Drive in 1969. When Homel later opened the first Brian's Restaurant on South Semoran Boulevard, he named it after the son who had worked alongside him since high school. The two also operated Brian's Restaurants at Dean Road and State Road 50 and at Summerlin Avenue and East Colonial Drive before moving to the current location at Orange Avenue and Virginia Drive more than 30 years ago.
The Brian's near downtown immediately became a quiet power lunch spot. It may not have had the cache of the Citrus Club but it was a place where politicos would huddle over eggs and caffeine in the morning and open-face sandwiches, melts and burgers at lunch.
The extended renovation didn't break up the Brian's family, says Sydele Homel. "We opened with our original cooks and waitresses. One waitress left but I was able to fill that spot with someone who had worked at our other restaurants years ago."
Brian's fans didn't give up either. I have fielded calls weekly about the fate of Brian's for almost a year.
"I had no experience building anything," says Sydele Homel. "I had no idea that it would take so long for permits, construction and inspections. But we stuck with it and Brian's is back in business." The restaurant reopened Aug. 12.
Subs have fallen off the menu because, Homel said, we "just felt that there were too many places where people can get subs today." And the menu now includes dinner.
The opened-face roast beef sandwich ($7.25) and the home-style meatloaf ($7.95) are both still a plate full of comfort. Our sandwich rose from spongy white bread topped with tender meat and finished with a generous mound of from-scratch mashed potatoes. The thick slice of meatloaf, which came with two sides and a choice of soup or salad, had a wonderful sauce that my dining companion sopped up with the accompanying roll. I was impressed with the meatloaf's texture. The ground meat was compact, but not overworked, and nicely seasoned.
We headed out the with a to-go order of warm sweet rolls ($2.85 for three, $5 for seven, $8.25 for a dozen). Five minutes after we were back in the office the only thing that remained of the signature treats were the guilty, contented smiles of my co-workers.
Welcome back, Brian's. You were missed.

Posts tagged: love
You have a man… ( or at least think you do)
You have a GF… (or at least you thought you did)
………………boom bamm………………
You guys get in an arguement", Yall have been dating for what a year now? it has been nice so far right, dates, meeting the fam/friends. All is well. But this time you guys had a serious arguement. Things are not looking good. You both decide to take "a break" just test the waters… get some space from eachother. Or maybe yall even decide to call it quits. Your hurt. You didnt really want to call it quits over this petty arguement but you never spoke up to save the arguement because of your ego which is too big to admit you were wrong. Okay…
So you cry, weep, call a friend, ect.
Next day you wake up and see that He/She has changed there relationship status on facebook to "Single" or on Twitter decided to put in the bio #teamsingle Then of course your first reaction is wtf is that about…. like you cant believe this is happening. I guess over night you forgot you guys are both single. Any how…. Now all of a sudden they magically have a new GF or BF….
hmmm…. we have been single a total of 24hours. Seems kind of fast right?? maybe that is because in this generation or this day in age. Its HARDLY ever just one. Meaning you may very well be in a nice relationship but lets be realistic. people have "friends" personally I dont believe a male and female can be friends without some kind of sexual attraction. there for when you are gone…. and break up with that significant other that person they have been calling there "bestfriend" throughout your whole relationship is the one they call on when you are not there. That is the one person who was waiting for you to fuck up so that they could be that person to clean up your mess duing a vulnerable time in you now Exs life.
The moral of the story… Look. Sometimes you have to let the ego go. If you love and care for a person. fight for them… fight for the relationship. dont let things go when times get hard. There is always someone who can see the greatness of your man or girl and is waiting for you to fuck up. At some point.. you have to grow up.
At some point you have to speak on the reality of the situation. Its amazing how when years past and things change so does the relationship… … Dad said I cant believe you sweating over a dude. I totally denied it at first. Sayed that little smart remark afterwards like " Crys dont sweat over no guys" Ha! it was a funny thought. I'm not quite sure what the problem is… . . nor do I know if this is how things are suppose to work. In the sense that this is not my first rodeo with this cowboy. We been in this for 6 years. It seems like the more years that past by the more I lost myself. The more I am searching for me in him. Thats not how it always was…. It some how just worked out that way. You dont realize what is happening untill someone tells you how it is on the outside of the situation. But of course still there is denial.
Then you get stuck with the nights where you cant sleep wondering at one point did you stop living your life for you and starting living it for someone else. Who arguably is not worth it. Or is he?
A friend and her Boyfriend.

RG3 hurt, Seattle tops Redskins 24-14 in playoffs
|Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III flies through the air as he is knocked out of bounds during the first half of an NFL wild card playoff football game against the Washington Redskins in Landover, Md., Sunday, Jan. 6, 2013. (AP Photo/Richard Lipski)
LANDOVER, Md. — Russell Wilson raced ahead to throw the final block on Marshawn Lynch's go-ahead touchdown run, and the Seattle Seahawks finally had a victorious road show.
Robert Griffin III's knee buckled as he tried to field a bad shotgun snap, leaving the Washington Redskins an offseason to worry about their franchise player's health.

At their request, the five newly elected members met with City Manager Don Hoyt for a four-hour orientation. The orientation went through matters such as council rules of procedure, the Alabama Open Meetings Act and executive sessions as well as the laws regarding Anniston's form of government including the role of the city manager, civil service board and the council members.
Councilwoman-elect Millie Harris said getting all that information was a little overwhelming, but she said the orientation was important.
"We're in the learning mode," Harris said. "Sure we'll make mistakes, but the more educated we are the better we'll be able to serve."
When the first meeting rolls around on Nov. 13, she'll have a better idea of how to prepare and the procedures the members will be following, Harris said.
With the exception of Councilman Jay Jenkins, the incoming members are all inexperienced as elected city officials. Several have held board appointments in Anniston and have some experience with the inner workings of Anniston's administration, though.
Councilman-elect Seyram Selase, a member of the Public Building Authority and the Revolving Loan Fund boards, said he had hoped to learn the rules governing elected officials and specifically Anniston City Council members at the orientation. But the meeting also gave the council members their first insight into how the group will interact and he was optimistic about the upcoming term.
"There was definitely a feeling of cooperation between the members," Selase said.
There was also a sense of excitement as the members talked about their plans and hopes for the city, Selase said.
Councilman-elect David Reddick pointed out the diverse backgrounds of the new council members — Mayor-elect Vaughn Stewart's background in law, Selase's background as a grant writer, Jenkins' background in planning, Harris' background as a community activist and his own background in aviation and tourism — would benefit the city.
"We all bring something good," Reddick said.
Stewart agreed, and added the members have a chemistry that will lead to a productive council.
"I'm very optimistic," Stewart said after the meeting. "I think we all will be professionals."
It was a productive meeting, Jenkins said, adding that when he was appointed 10 months ago, he had to learn everything on the job.
"I got to hit the ground running with the new group," said Jenkins, the only current council member who was re-elected. "I would have loved to have a three- or four-hour session before my first day."
The incoming council members plan to have a retreat on Nov. 1-3 to get to know one another better and to learn more about their new roles as elected officials.
The council members along with the newly elected members of the Board of Education will take their oath of office at 10 a.m. Nov. 5, at Anniston High School.

Your kids can feel just like rockstars when you help them create their very own rockstar jacket or T-shirt. Follow the simple instructions below to get started. Parents can choose to print our iron-on decals or craft their own star using our templates as a guide.
Feel the Beats only on Nick Jr.
Decide whether you will iron on the rockstar decal to clothing or if you'd create an actual star using foam sheets.

 Print the full-color stars decal if ironing on. Print the black and white stars template if crafting a star.
If you've selected the iron-on decals, cut the templates and follow the instructions listed on the iron-on transfer paper box.

 If you decided to craft the star, cut out the star templates and gather the appropriate color foam sheets as listed on the template.
Trace the star onto the foam sheet, and then trim off layer 1 by cutting along the solid line. Repeat and then trim off layer 2. The result should be 3 different star sizes traced onto the appropriate color foam sheet.

 Cut the stars out and layer them according to size, from smallest to largest. See photo as a guide.
Using fabric glue, attach the small star to the front of selected clothing and attach the large star to the back.

Featured in an episode of the Golf Channel's The Haney Project, Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course's acclaimed layout blankets the breezy space right between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal Waterway. Originally designed in 1961 by famed course architect Joe Lee, the course received a facelift from Hall of Famer Raymond Floyd in 2009, adding drama to a water-kissed terrain that has hosted the LPGA Pro-Am and has been played by the likes of George Clooney, Cameron Diaz, and the Hamburglar. Stitched by the curvy trunks of vibrant palm trees, the course's saltwater- and drought-resilient paspalum grass helps it thrive in its seashore location. With the longest hole measuring in at 196 yards, Palm Beach Par 3 provides ample opportunity for players to snag a coveted hole-in-one or humble egotistical drivers by making them sit out for the round. And the renovations keep coming with plans to add a new, two-story Florida-style clubhouse on the course that will house a restaurant on the second floor. It's scheduled to open November 2013.
Course at a Glance:
The only exit from Leapin' Lizards' treehouse is down a slide, but those leaving fall only to a cushioned pile of stuffed jungle animals. Across the facility's indoor playgrounds, kids bounce on inflatable obstacles and test Newton's laws of motion on a tire swing. Other entertainment takes place in the music room, where they don costumes and belt out melodies or play musical instruments. A separate playroom for toddlers and infants displays walls hand-painted by a local artist to resemble a peaceful aquarium or terrifying dining room. Nearby, parents lounge at the café with a cup of coffee and access to free WiFi. They can also participate with their kids in the center's music and movement classes.
The consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which was cofounded by the legendary toe tapper himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students' techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the Charleston. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and fox-trot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba. For dancers hoping to hoof it up in a social setting, the group practice parties provide a one-night extravaganza of instruction, demonstrations, and amateur firewalking.
Opened in January of 1959 by Hazel Verdes, Verdes Tropicana Bowl features 32 lanes, a snack bar, and a lounge with billiard tables and a fully stocked bar. The alley offers open bowling until midnight or later, hosts parties, and oversees bowling leagues and tournaments. In addition to offering shoe and equipment rental, the pro shop supplies bowlers with gear of their own, so they can personalize bowling balls with tick marks indicating the number of pins they have knocked asunder.
Staffed by experienced golfing professionals and computers who've sworn allegiance to the three laws of golfing robotics, GolfTEC's motion sensors and high-speed cameras monitor swings and break down each individual's form on a high-definition video display. Sensors chirp with approval whenever they detect the perfect stroke or an especially witty golfing joke. GolfTEC's certified personal coaches will point out flaws and strengths while providing golfers with tips on how to permanently improve their game from tee to green.
Powerhouse Gym escorts its members toward healthier lifestyles with comprehensive memberships and a cavalcade of meticulously maintained equipment. More than newly installed 50 cardio machines volunteer to put legs through their paces as users utilize theater remotes to control one of seven different televisions. A neatly aligned contingent of benches, dumbbells, and racks populate the spacious free-weight area, and competitive guests can work up a sweat or settle disputes the way Congress does with intense games of racquetball. To shed calories among fitness confidants, slide into an expert-led group class such as yoga, Zumba, or cardio kickboxing. Additionally, two 30-minute sessions with a certified personal trainer help facilitate positive results with an in-depth review of individual goals. After determining each guest's needs and level of fitness, trainers can begin to coax fit forms from their subcutaneous hideaways with motivating workouts and softly hummed Rocky themes.
A comprehensive guide to attractions and things to do.

The North American Mission Board, along with state Baptist convention leaders, has taken the lead in organizing Southern Baptists to respond to disasters. They contribute manpower, ministry, and financial help during floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, earthquakes, and urban disasters. For more information about how donations to this fund are used, see the Frequently Asked Questions below.
Southern Baptist Disaster Relief teams are currently responding to bring help, healing and hope to devastated families and communities across North America and in the Philippines. If you would like your donation to support a specific response, please indicate the response in the comments box on the donatons form.

Frequently Asked Questions–Donations
1. Will a donation to NAMB Disaster Relief allow you to present the gospel?
All of our disaster relief volunteers are trained to evangelize sensitively during a disaster and look for opportunities to share the gospel with hurting people. In addition, we have a chaplain assigned to every feeding unit giving pastoral care to people who are waiting to be fed. We care about the physical needs of people who have been affected by the disaster, but ultimately we care more about their eternal soul.
2. Is my donation tax-deductible?
The North American Mission Board is designated by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and your gift will be tax-deductible.
3. Will I receive a receipt for my gift?
You will receive an immediate gift confirmation via E-mail (provided you give a correct E-mail address) and will also receive a receipt through the mail.
4. Do you accept gifts of stock?
Yes, we do accept gifts of stock. Please E-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com for detailed information.
5. What if I have a problem with my online donation?
Please E-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have a problem with your donation and we will assist you.
6. Is the donation site secure?
An SSL secure server system is used, which is a secure, encrypted system.
7. What percentage of my gift will go to administrative costs?
When you give to Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, 100% of what you give goes directly to disaster relief efforts so your donation goes further. We do not pay salaries or overhead out of those funds.
8. What percentage goes directly to the victims?
We do not give victims money, but provide in-kind relief to victims in areas affected by disaster—including feeding units, shower and laundry units, mud-out and chain-saw units. Victims receive these services through trained disaster relief volunteers. Were it not for the presence of these volunteers, and the fuel and phone costs that allow them to be present, the victims would not receive these crucial services.
9. Do you pay credit card fees if I donate online?
We do pay credit card fees, but the funds do not come from your donation. Administrative costs are paid by NAMB's operating budget, funded by the Cooperative Program.
