Mesac Damas is competent to proceed in his death penalty case, a Collier Circuit judge ruled on Thursday.
The decision means Damas' case will not immediately be delayed by treatment. Damas faces charges that he killed his wife and five children, Judge Franklin Baker issued the five-page order on Thursday, one week after three doctors testified about evaluations they conducted on the defendant.
Competency is the legal definition of a defendant's ability to understand and participate in a court case at any one time. Questions of mental illness have surrounded Damas' case since his 2009 arrest and through frequent court outbursts.
During last week's competency hearing, two out of three doctors testified that Damas understood the charges against him and was capable of helping his attorneys, but that he chose not to.
In his order, Baker wrote that he found the two doctors' testimony more compelling than a third doctor, who diagnosed Damas with "delusional disorder" and deemed him incompetent. Baker said his decision also stems from his own observations of Damas in court.
"More specifically, the Court finds that Defendant has the ability, if he so chooses, to cooperate with his lawyers and to manifest appropriate courtroom behavior," the order stated. "If he chooses not to do so, he does so at his peril."
A new status hearing is expected to be set in the case shortly.
Damas faces possible execution by the state if convicted of any of six charges of first-degree murder. The bodies of his wife, Guerline, 32, and the couple's five children were discovered in the family's North Naples home in September 2009, their throats cut.
The children were Zack, 9; Maven, 6; Marven, 5; Megan, 3; and Morgan, 19 months.
A spokeswoman for the State Attorney's Office lauded Baker's decision.
"With the judge's ruling, we can now proceed more efficiently as we work towards a trial," Samantha Syoen wrote in an email statement.
Neil McLoughlin, one of Damas' three public defenders, said the decision speaks for itself.
"What's there to say? Especially in death penalty cases, you always are concerned about your client's mental health," he said. "And let's be honest, he exhibits bizarre behavior."
Damas frequently speaks aloud during court hearings, invoking religion and questioning Baker's authority. He confessed to a Daily News reporter shortly after the slayings, and he has repeatedly asked to be executed.
Two psychologists and a psychiatrist examined Damas between October 2010 and last week. Damas refused to participate in each evaluation, instead preaching at the three men.
One, psychologist Robert Silver, diagnosed Damas as bipolar after a first evaluation. After a second examination in June, he determined the defendant suffered delusions of grandiosity and was incompetent to proceed, failing to understand the charges and penalties he faced.
Psychiatrist Frederick Schaerf and psychologist Michael Herkov reached a different conclusion after their evaluations. Both consulted jail logs and medical records and decided Damas did understand the charges and penalties, based in part on his interactions with jail staff. They said he was capable of helping his attorneys but chose not to do so.
Baker noted the distinction between a defendant's inability to assist in his defense and his willingness to do so. He also wrote that Damas' possible mental illness has little bearing upon his competency.
"The fact that Defendant may have a mental illness is certainly relevant to the issue of competency, but it is not determinative," he wrote.
The likely next question in the case is whether Damas should be allowed to represent himself, as he has repeatedly requested. Baker has promised to address the issue with Damas, and he suggested last week that, should the defendant be found competent, the court would explore it.
The court may also choose to again explore Damas' competency down the road, if it feels his behavior merits it.

NEW YORK and EVERETT, Wash., May 24, 2007 - The International Fight League (OTC.BB: IFLI), the worlds first team-based professional mixed martial arts league, today announced the field for its event at Everett Events Center, set for Friday, June 1 at 7:30 p.m. The team matchups between the unbeaten Tokyo Sabres and Portland Wolfpack and between the Los Angeles Anacondas and homestanding Seattle Tiger Sharks will go a long way in determining the playoff fates in the final regular season event for all four squads.
IFL stars such as lightweight Savant Young (Pasadena, Calif.), welterweight Antonio McKee (Long Beach, Calif.) and light heavyweight Vladimir Matyushenko (Belarus) of the Sabres (2-0 overall, 6-4 individual) will all be in action, taking on the likes of Ryan Schultz (North Platte, Neb.), Mike Dolce (Belmar, N.J.) and Aaron Stark (Portland, Ore.), respectively, of the Wolfpack (1-1, 5-5). The first-place Anacondas (2-0, 8-2), coming off a 5-0 sweep over the San Jose Razorclaws in their last bout, bring unbeaten lightweight Chris Horodecki (London, Ontario), welterweight Jay Hieron (Las Vegas) and heavyweight Krzysztof Soszynski (Winnipeg, Manitoba) to the ring against Tiger Sharks (1-1, 6-4) stalwarts Shad Lierley (Seattle), Brad Blackburn (Olympia, Wash.) and Reese Andy (Billings, Mont.).
All four teams are still eligible to qualify for the IFL playoff semifinals on August 2 in East Rutherford, N.J. Coach Shawn Tompkins Anacondas and Coach Ken Yasudas Sabres can clinch berths with victories, while Matt Lindlands Wolfpack and Maurice Smiths Tiger Sharks need to claim wins and hope to earn spots via tiebreakers.
The evening is part of the full 11-event IFL 2007 schedule, the most comprehensive advance schedule in the history of fight sports. Below are the matchups; bout order will be determined by coaches choice prior to the weigh-in on May 31:
Sabres (2-0 team, 6-4 indiv.) vs. Wolfpack (1-1, 5-5)155 lb.: Savant Young (Pasadena, Calif.) (2-0 IFL, 8-4 0verall) vs. Ryan Schultz (North Platte, Neb.)

Tickets are available at the EEC Box Office, or through www.ifl.tv.
Each of the nine regular season IFL events will consist of four teams each with an athlete in all five weight classes competing. The team that wins the best three of five match setup will be declared the team winner for the match, similar to collegiate and high school wrestling meets. The IFL also differs from other MMA organizations in that the bouts are held in an oversized five-rope boxing ring with three, four-minute rounds, each designed to create the most compelling in-arena experience for local fans.
Each of the 12 IFL teams for 2007 will compete in three regular season events; the teams with the top four overall win-loss team records will advance to the semi-finals, which will be held on Thursday, August 2 at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, N.J. The 2007 IFL Finals will then be held at The Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday, September 15.

In a courtroom filled with a gunshot victim's fellow police officers, a judge sentenced an Olympia man to 18 years in prison Thursday for shooting a Thurston County SWAT officer in the arm during a 2011 drug raid.
Christopher Self, 40, had pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree assault and one count of second-degree assault for firing a single shot from his bedroom as SWAT officers raided his home in the 5000 block of 70th Avenue in Olympia on June 6, 2010.
Thurston County Superior Court Judge James Dixon said sentencing Self to 18 years in prison — the high end of the standard sentencing range — was an easy decision. Dixon said Self's apparent lack of remorse for his actions was part of why he did not consider imposing a sentence closer to the middle of the standard sentencing range.
"Police officers have an extremely difficult job, and more often than not, a thankless one," Dixon said. "Our community depends on police officers to keep the rest of us safe."
Self had accepted a plea deal after the start of his trial last week that allowed him to avoid a potential conviction for two counts of attempted first-degree murder. Self also pleaded guilty to narcotics-related charges stemming from selling marijuana and ecstasy pills to an undercover informant as part of the plea deal.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Scott Jackson told Dixon on Thursday that Self's contention that he did not know that he was firing at police officers is difficult to believe. The SWAT officers at Self's home that morning two years ago loudly announced themselves prior to entering, Jackson said.
"He decided to pick up the gun, he decided to walk around his bed and he decided to fire a shot at two police officers," Jackson said. "… This was not an accident."
The SWAT officer who was struck in the arm, Olympia Police Detective Bryan Houser, spoke before Dixon prior to Self's sentencing. Houser said that until being shot, he never realized how "one second in time could turn my life upside down." Houser's voice swelled with emotion as he described how difficult it was to return to duty in Olympia after he recovered from the gunshot.
"I can honestly say that I struggled to put the uniform back on," Houser said.
Houser added that he is lucky to be here today. The gunshot went "through and through" Houser's upper left biceps, Jackson said.
"If I had not been wearing a small piece of bulletproof material on my arm, I would not be standing here today to give a statement," Houser said.
Earlier this week, Houser was the first detective to respond to a violent assault and attempted rape of a woman on the Woodland Trail as she walked her dog. His and other detective's work led directly to the arrest of a suspect that same day.
In 2011, narcotics detectives obtained a search warrant for Self's home after he had sold more than $3,000 worth of drugs — marijuana and ecstasy pills — to an undercover informant, Jackson said. They decided to have the Thurston County SWAT team assist because of Self's military background, because they knew Self had firearms and pit bulls in the home and because he had a security system in place, Jackson added.
Self's attorney, Kevin Johnson, asked for a sentence at the low end of the standard range.
Johnson claimed that Self thought an intruder was at his door, not police. He added that Self's home had been burglarized on a prior occasion.
"Is a police officer's life worth more than the life of a citizen trying to protect his home?" asked Johnson. Johnson asked Dixon to impose a 14-year sentence.
Houser said he believes Self knew who was at his door.
Self also gave a statement Thursday, explaining that he made "one bad decision after another," in choosing to use and sell drugs to friends. He said he did not hear the SWAT team's "knock and announce" identifying themselves as police officers prior to entering. He also apologized to the officers.
"I never intended to injure anyone, much less kill (the) officers," Self said.
Dixon said he heard "a remarkable lack of remorse" from Self, and interpreted Self's apology as being sorry for his own losses, not for his victim's.
Prior to Self's 2011 arrest, he had no prior criminal record, except for one misdemeanor offense, Dixon said.

This post is a BIG FAIL
This post is a BIG FAIL
Tannehill has far more upside and is better suited for the NFL game than the wannabe flash-in-the-pan slash guys like scam, rg3 and wilson. None of them, OR the coaches who have a fetish for them (like andy reid) will ever win anything of substance. Look at the philly trainwreck now, that's where seattle will be in 5 years.
I hate even POSTING on a thread like this because it gets bumped up when it deserves to be deep-sixed.
Ryan Tannehill. Ah, what a relief. Life is good.
Matty Ice proves that we shouldve drafted The Matural, Matthew Ice Ryan in 08 instead of Jake Wrong.
It never hurts to have an eye open for a QB mid to late round.. if we had taken than philosophy over the last decade maybe we wouldn't have been so down and out. Even if they do not beat out your current starter ... there is always the possibility someone will give you a better value draft pick for him.. Ron Wolfe in Green Bay churned a number of picks that way.
Lol no.
Wilson is a huge exception. There wont be another guy like him in 20 years. Tannehill has just as much ability as him just needs the correct pieces around him.
We have too many other important holes to fill, to waste a pick on a QB. Tannehill looks to be our future. Surround him with weapons and then evaluate him. To pull the trigger on another QB so soon, would be a mistake in my opinion.
I believe, no matter how long it takes, I believe!
When Death Smiles Upon You the Infantryman smiles back
WVdolphan "Ireland gets it.
And those who also get it, know that Ireland gets it. Those who are clueless are still concerned about cornfed and the running game"
WVDOLPHAN "The last thing this team should be worried about is the OC(offensive corn). When you add it all up, its really a pretty solid OC"
I agree. that's how we got Marino, the Dolphins had no intention of drafting Marino, primarily because they felt there was no way he'd be there, nonetheless, their sights were set on an drafting an offensive lineman or a defensive lineman, which they got in the 2nd round, I forgot his name, anyway if you see an opportunity to improve your team, you do it.
I was impressed by Pat Devlin and how effective he was throwing the ball in preseason.
That's what make this game and board so great, sometimes you're right and sometimes you're wrong.
Let's see what the future unfolds....
We're still the only "perfect" team, even though the Patriots cheated and claimed they had a perfect season...!
Thank You Don Shula for never quitting.

Lt. Governor Brown Champions Legislation to Criminalize Child Neglect in Maryland
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (April 7, 2011) – This week, the Maryland General Assembly passed the O'Malley-Brown Administration's Child Neglect Bill, legislation that will make intentional child neglect a criminal act in Maryland. Lt. Governor Anthony Brown worked closely with the General Assembly as well as numerous stakeholders, including prosecutors, public defenders, doctors, and child and domestic violence advocates to craft a bill that narrowly prosecutes adults who are clearly and egregiously neglecting their children.
The Senate passed the bill today by a vote of 41-5, while the House of Delegates passed matching legislation by a vote of 137-0 earlier this week. Once concurred on by either chamber, the bill will be finalized and sent to the Governor for his signature. In three previous years, bills to criminalize child neglect had come before the General Assembly and failed. Maryland was previously the only state in the nation that did not criminalize the intentional neglect of minors.
"The passage of this legislation marks important progress for our State. We will finally be able to bring to justice those who intentionally put Maryland's children at substantial risk of harm," said Lt. Governor Brown. "Thanks to the hard work of the General Assembly, as well as our partnerships with stakeholders, we have taken a stand and said once and for all that egregiously and intentionally neglecting children is unacceptable, and it will not be tolerated in Maryland."
In 2010, Maryland Child Protective Services identified nearly 4,150 cases of child neglect. However, under previously existing Maryland law, cases of child neglect could not be prosecuted unless they resulted in physical injury or death of the child.
Studies link child neglect to increased likelihood of violent behavior and criminal involvement and find it is more likely than other forms of child maltreatment to result in antisocial behavior. Neglected children display poorer academic performance than abused or non-maltreated children. Economically, child neglect costs Americans approximately $94 billion a year - $258 million a day – in direct and indirect costs, including hospitalization, mental health care, child welfare service, special education and lost productivity.
As passed, this bill will make child neglect a misdemeanor subject to imprisonment of up to 5 years, a fine up to $5,000 or both. The law seeks to penalize the small number of adults who deliberately neglect their children. Under the new legislation passed today, those parents or guardians who are unable to sufficiently care for their children due to an involuntary condition, such as poverty or homelessness, would not be prosecuted.
Lt. Governor Brown has led the O'Malley-Brown administration's efforts to strengthen domestic abuse laws and address domestic violence, including successfully championing the efforts to take guns out of the hands of abusers in 2009.

Alyssa Wornette comes to the office dressed like she's trying to attract honeybees
What inspired this outfit?
The flowers blooming all around the city. Every time I walk out my front door the sweet smell of lilacs and dogwood floating through the air pumps me up with glittery spring energy. I've also been working in my garden nonstop, and the tiny green leaves sprouting and forming into beautiful blooms is almost enough to burst my still-thawing-from-winter heart.
Tell me about one of the items you're wearing.
Well my dog Honey is… just kidding I don't consider her an accessory, just my bestie. I'm really very excited about my new Karen Walker sunglasses. I've had the same dark Ray-ban wayfarers since I turned sixteen, and although I still agree they're a classic, I got to a point where I needed a little more glamour. I quit my job to indulge in my fantasy of writing for a living, and splurged on these big tortoiseshell babies. They make every outfit feel a little more important.
What's the best book to read in this outfit?
I'd have to say In the Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker (NOT the same as Karen Walker). This novel talks a lot about the loss of seasons, of fresh fruit and flowers diminishing as the world decays sometime in the not-so-far off future. It reminded me not to take these simple pleasures for granted when I read it about a month ago, and since I've felt like the details of the world are a little more vivid and exciting than they used to be.
What style icon would wear this outfit?
Oh maybe Alice in Wonderland if she was trying to pass as a flower instead of a weed in the garden of discriminatory blooms. Or a grown up, modern mini-moon? OH, I KNOW! Princess Bubblegum of the Candy Kingdom from Adventure Time. I think she loves pink and sweets almost as much as me. Almost.

The NCIEC Deaf Self-Advocacy Training initiative promulgates an "…of, by and for the Deaf, hard of hearing and/or Deaf-blind" philosophy in all aspects of its programming. The DSAT curriculum was developed by individuals who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Deaf-Blind and designed as a peer-led training.
Effective advocacy for interpreting services has been a long-time concern of Deaf Community leaders. With RSA funding support from 2005-2010, the Consortium developed a specialized curriculum devoted to teaching deaf individuals to self-advocate for effective interpreting services. The content of the curriculum includes concepts of self-esteem and self-determination, ethics of working with interpreters, preparing for self-advocacy, and how to effectively tap resources.
The curriculum was first unveiled in 2010. Thirty master trainers were prepared to teach from the curriculum. They, in turn, provided training to more than 600 deaf, hard of hearing and deaf-blind consumers. The evaluation of these trainings will inform refinement of the curriculum during the 2010-2015 grant cycle. Consumer education activities continue through the Consortium Regional Centers.
The curriculum is described in these webpages. For more information regarding the Consortium's national initiative, please contact Pauline Annarino. For more information regarding deaf consumer trainings in your area, please contact your Consortium Regional Interpreter Education Center.

U.S. drivers are now paying more to fill up their gas tanks than they ever have at this time of year.
The national average price of retail gasoline posted its biggest one-day increase in 23 months on Friday, rising four cents to $3.46 a gallon, according to AAA. The average price has risen 13 cents -- a 4 percent increase -- in the past week.
Gasoline prices have followed in part the climb in the stock and oil prices. Oil and equities have risen sharply over the last few weeks, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached 14,000 for the first time since 2007, Brent crude oil futures hit at 4-month high near $117 a barrel, while the U.S. oil price is near $98 a barrel.
Retail gasoline prices have also hit a new milestone.
"This is the highest price record for February 1st," says OPIS analyst Tom Kloza, who predicts the national average price of regular gasoline will climb a few more pennies to $3.50 a gallon this weekend.
NYMEX March RBOB gasoline futures, which help determine prices at the pump, have risen 10 percent in the past two weeks, finishing the week at $3.05 a gallon on Friday.
"Refinery issues and speculation about refinery issues has with a lot of money betting onstill higher gasoline prices," Kloza says.
Oil producer Hess announced earlier this week that it is shutting its refinery in Port Reading, N.J., by the end of February. That refinery accounts for about 7.5 percent of oil production on the East Coast at about 70,000 barrels per day. Philadelphia Energy Solutions isalso set to begin planned maintenance at its 335,000 barrel per day Philadelphia refinery.

Traders and analysts forecast the closure and maintenance of refineries near the New York Harbor will further tighten gasoline supplies in the region. Planned maintenance in other parts of the country also add to concerns about gasoline supplies.

Meanwhile. gasoline demand is on the rise. While total U.S. gasoline supplies fell by 1 million barrels last week, gasoline demand increased by 70,000 barrels a day tothe highest level since the end of December.
Analysts say the U.S. Labor Department's upward revision to payroll data on Friday is further indication of steady economic growth and will lead to continued increases in gasoline demand. The number of non-farm jobs added in November was revised sharply higher from 161,000 to 247,000, while the figure for December was upgraded from 155,000 to 196,000.

"Significant upward revisions for 2012 and last two months of the year in particular are showing up in the increase in gasoline demand," says John Kilduff, founder of Again Capital. "Improvement in employment is going to be supportive of gas prices."

Pupil measuring scale, London, England, 1974
Eye pupil size was measured in patients during cardio-respiratory resuscitation and coma assessment by this simple device. This is the first of its kind made for the First World Congress on Intensive Care, held in London in 1974. It was invented by Dr Alan Gilston. The plastic ruler has holes representing pupil dilation at various stages. Change in pupil size can be triggered involuntarily by exposure to bright light and this can be used as a guide to brain activity. Such changes to the pupil can also be caused by strokes, brain tumours, head injuries and the use of illegal drugs. This simple low-tech device is a quick reference tool for physicians in critical care situations. Dr Alan Gilston was the senior Consultant Anaesthetist at the National Heart Hospital, London. He established the Intensive Care Society in 1974. He initiated the First World Congress on Intensive and Critical Care Medicine later that year.

Hi all, I actually read a worn and tattered copy of BFL last year and used the program, or some variation of it, for several weeks and I got great results. I dropped down to 18% BF from 24% within two months. My bench went up considerably. I always struggled on the bench and finally tore a ligament in my shoulder trying to bench 225lbs a couple of years ago. While sticking stricly to DBs for the duration of my program I felt like I was getting very strong. I decided to give the bench press a try and maxed out at 270lbs and could work out with 250 pretty easy! I was amazed!
Unfortunately, I pushed too hard with the deadlifts and aggrivated a herniated disc from the year before and I've been sidelined since. I could have kept going but I was very discouraged after the injury.
Well, here I am. I'm getting rediculously out of shape and I'm sick of it. I'm feeling moivated. I went to the gym this morning and it felt great even though I have a long way to go to get back to where I was. Wish me luck!
Hey Gotlift
Take it easy this time. I notice that one gains strength with difficulty but when you take a layoff from the gym you lose it rapidly. Also got back into it this week. was tempted to lift my max from 3 months ago.didn't and glad since the lightweight workout really hurt the next day.
good luck and keep posting.
The best advice I can give you is a quote from Kai Greene: This is not a weight lifting program, this is a body BUILDING program. If you keep concentrating on your "numbers" instead of your form, you will end up right where you are now. Numbers mean nothing. They are a great self-esteem boost but compare the body shape of a weight lifter and a natural body builder and you will see what I am trying to say.
Courage isn't lack of fear. It's our ability to carry on despite our fear
This is what I have come to realize. I will take it easy this time for sure. I have no doubt that I will make rapid gains in the areas where my body is still strong, but I will certainly take it easier on my back this time around. I know I overdid it on the dead lifts and sacrificed from, which lead to the injury. Thanks for the advice.
Welcome back Gotlift, Be sure to go easy into the program on the weight amounts with that back injury. And do like I always do, having had back problems in the back, start light build up very slowly with steady not sudden movements and always re-check your weight totals befoe lifting that bar (I learned about this on a squat rack one time when I had my ending weight first in the set not last, ooops). And I would advice the use of a belt, mine is Weider and I got it in Sears for about 20 or less and it has been worth every penny of it. (gloves with support might help you out as well).. Hope this helps and remember it's not a number or scale weight contest with BFL, it's a system of steady progress to your potential. I use to weigh 287 and now I am down to 223 with a lot more muscle after three yearly challenges. Keep MOving FOrward!

Here's the critical data: The baby is a boy. He is our second and last child. Our daughter is named Madeleine Louise Anelda after both of our mothers. In my husband's family, it's traditional for the son to get the father's first name as a middle name. Therefore, the boy's middle name will be Gerald. Our hypothetical last name is Henderson. Got all that?
Here's the list of names that we've agreed on thus far:
Dexter – Dex
Malcolm – Mal
Oliver – Ollie
Samuel – Sam
Phineas – Fin
Our three top contenders are Samuel, Xavier and Dexter. I also like Jasper, but that name requires the addition of a second middle name to break up the J and G sounds, so we can skip it.
Just to give you some more insight into my naming preferences, names on my list that didn't make the cut were:
Beckett (Beck)
Cooper (Coop)
Lucas (Luke)
We had pretty much decided on Dexter as the front-runner. Maddie latched onto it and calls her baby brother Dexter exclusively. (That's going to be fun if we chose another name.) Dexter was my idea, and at first, I loved it. However, as time as passed, I feel less and less sure that our son will be a Dexter. I'm also feeling unsure about ALL the names on my list. I think that there's this magical, perfect name for him out there but I just can't find it.
Does this just make me a normal pregnant woman or should I continue scouring the internet and emailing friends (ahem!) to ask for advice?
OH SO NORMAL! I mean, I've heard there ARE women who are just like, "Hm, what should we name the baby? How about Paul? Yes, that's a nice name." My own mother-in-law was that way. But if we are measuring normal by what I'M like (and why shouldn't we?), then you are VERY VERY NORMAL.
With two of my children, we had a list of finalists and then I thought of the magical perfect name---a name that we hadn't ever considered before, which became The Name within 24 hours of us thinking of it. With the other three, we had a list of finalists and gradually one became the winner---but without ever seeming like the Lightning Bolt Choice. In all five cases, I had SERIOUS DOUBTS about the name that only increased as delivery approached. I would lie awake thinking, "IS this the name? DO I like it more than the others? Is this a GOOD name for the child, or will it seem crazy as soon as I put it on an actual baby? What if it's too popular? What if it's not popular enough and no one likes it? Fret fret fret fret fret!"
So let's fret together for awhile about your baby boy's name. I see your point about Jasper Gerald, so I tried to think of names that were similar to Jasper but didn't have that problem. The first one I thought of was Asher, Asher Gerald Henderson---but I know your actual surname, and I don't think Asher is good with it, do you?
The more I think of it, the more I think Jasper Gerald is fine. Gerald is a family name and everyone will know it, and it's rare that the first and middle are both used. If you want to strike it, I'll understand (I like a good flow, too), but if you want to use Jasper I don't think it's out of the question. I even kind of like the double J sound, as I did when one of my friends in high school was Jennifer Jean.
Well, but let's find more names, because what you need is MORE names to fret about, right? And because sometimes introducing new options can bring out your loyalties to one or another of the original contenders.
Dexter makes me think of Baxter. Declan makes me think of Duncan and Deacon.
Rowan makes me think of Ruben. When I first heard that name a couple of years ago, I thought "!!!!!!!!!"---and then put it with my surname and cringed. But it's really good with yours! Ruben Gerald Henderson.
Another name that gave me that sudden rush of appeal is Miller. It's a bit of a reach, but so familiar as a surname I think it brings it into the realm of reason. Miller Gerald Henderson, Maddy and Miller.
I like Emmett for you: Emmett Gerald Henderson, Maddy and Emmett.
I also like Carter for you: Carter Gerald Henderson, Maddy and Carter.
I LOVE Archer for you: Archer Gerald Henderson, Maddy and Archie. OMG LOVE. I don't know why I think it's good with your surname when I don't like Asher with it, but there it is.
And it's not perfect with the middle name, but I like Grady anyway: Grady Gerald Henderson, Maddy and Grady.
Corbin is a teeny bit rhymey with your surname but I like it anyway: Corbin Gerald Henderson, Maddy and Corbin.
I think the name Keegan is wonderful: Keegan Gerald Henderson, Maddy and Keegan.
On a different track, I like Louis: Louis Gerald Henderson, Maddy and Louis. I think Louis sounds like a sweet little boy and a dignified adult in the style of Oliver and Theodore.
From your list of finalists, my favorite is Samuel. Sam Henderson; Maddy and Sam.
A note to readers: I KNOW Erica, so I've found it particularly difficult to choose names for her to consider. I'm BEGGING you to help with this one!

Hilarious And Aww-Worthy
You've been waiting to take your children to see Santa Claus, so they can sit on his lap, talk about what they want for Christmas, and snap a perfect holiday picture. Unfortunately, reality isn't always picture-perfect and the results can be less than spectacular. You may find that your own bad Santa photo becomes a treasured part of your holiday memories, like these families did.
