I find myself in a situation that is likely not terribly unique, but difficult nonetheless. I was due three days ago with our first child, a little boy. He has yet to grace us with his presence, but know the moment is right around the corner. We are truly excited and ready to meet our little man, with the exception of one minor detail: his name. My husband and I have a last name that I find slightly difficult to work with. Peppers. We had decided on the name Everett back in February when we learned I was carrying a son, but met instant disapproval from my mother. In hindsight, we wish we would have kept our decision a secret, but at the time couldn't really imagine the announcement being greeted by anything other than excitement. We have been sorely mistaken. She has repeatedly campaigned against it from the first moment of sharing. I thought that putting my foot down and telling her the decision was final would stop the remarks, but it didn't work. It's as if there was one most terrible, wretched name possible and we have chosen it. I sought wisdom and spoke at length with my husband and we decided that we had the power to change the situation by changing our choice in name. We worked on a short list which included: Owen, Harrison, William, Augustine, Christian, Zachary, Hudson, and Hunter. None of these names just completely grabs us. And we're now very conflicted about Everett. I really thought I liked it but there are a lot of hurt feelings mixed up with it at this point, and to make matters worse, my family seems to like to pronounce it like "Ev-ritt" with a hill-billy accent. There are clearly some family dynamics that far exceed the scope of our son's name, but he is due at any moment and we are at a huge loss as far as what direction to go next. I wish I could be really tough and let all of it roll off my back, but I know myself and it will drive me crazy for a LONG time if this is an ongoing source of strife. I'd like the issue to be finished. Other things to consider: My maiden name is Taylor and we would like to use it in either the first or middle name. If we were having a girl, we really liked the names Emma, Grace, Abigail, and Caroline. My husband tends to like biblical names: Joshua, Zachary, Gabriel, Benjamin. I'm really interested in a name that has a nice flow from First to middle to last, and when it's just first and last and if the first can be shortened to a nickname then nickname and last. We would love suggestions on a strong masculine name First Middle Peppers that might work well for us and our son. Thank you for your help! (and the help of any readers who offer suggestions- wisdom is greatly needed!!)
This is a very hard situation. You know and I know that your mother should not be behaving this way. An initial negative reaction would have been bad enough, but to continue to campaign against the name even after you told her it was final is beyond unacceptable.
Nevertheless, she is doing it. While I would like to leap up onto a crate and exhort you that it's your choice! she named her babies and now you get to name yours! it's a great name and she will come around to it! stand your ground!---it's not something I'm planning to do. It's easy for someone ELSE to say that you should get to use the name you want to use---but such a stance denies the reality of the situation. If I picture my own mother carrying on about a name the way yours is, I think I too would be choosing not to die on this hill. We DON'T really know that she'll come around to it, and "You should choose the name you love no matter what other people think!" is the kind of advice people give easily only when they're not the ones living with the consequences. Not to mention that I WANT my mother to love my baby's name---not at the expense of all my own opinions, but it's something I'm willing to work at a bit.
One possibility at this point is to involve your mother EVEN MORE: if she's going to kick up an unending stink if you don't choose a name she likes, have her tell you which names she likes from your list of finalists. (I don't recommend asking her for suggestions: you might find that, just as when my mother-in-law delivered a list of her own unasked-for suggestions, they were all from the days when she was naming her own babies.) This could, of course, BACKFIRE LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS---but if you want to avoid a name that causes your mother to behave this way, it could also help keep you from jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Another possibility is to choose another name, not reveal it until after the baby is born, and do preliminary work: tell her you've changed the name ONLY because she didn't like it, but that now you're not telling the name because you don't want her to spoil it for you, and that whether she likes the name or not it IS THE BABY'S NAME and if she doesn't like it, you ARE sorry, but she's had her turn to name babies, and now you and your husband are having your turn and she should be very happy she's had a veto.
Everett IS a great name. There is a little group of names I think of as being "similar to Everett"---such things are totally subjective, of course, but I wondered if you might like any of them, as I do: Elliot, Emmett, Evan. I like Elliot Taylor Peppers and Evan Taylor Peppers best; Emmett Peppers is a little harder for me to say, and I think the repeating eh sounds might be too much.
Evan makes me think of Ethan. Ethan Taylor Peppers.
For biblical names, I like your husband's choices (especially Zachary and Joshua) and also:
Adam Taylor Peppers
Jeremy Taylor Peppers
Joel Taylor Peppers
Jonathan Taylor Peppers
Nathan Taylor Peppers
Samuel Taylor Peppers
I also like Henry Taylor Peppers. I think Henry Peppers is adorable. But I have a feeling that a woman who dislikes Everett won't feel any happier about Henry. I think my own favorite would be Jonathan Peppers, with the nickname Jon.
Name update! Ashley writes:
Thank you so much for responding to my email. Your response couldn't have come at a better time. My husband and I were resting in my hospital room after just meeting our little boy, still scratching our heads about his name. We thought we'd check to see if there was a response posted on your blog. There was!! Not only that, but there were many helpful responses from kind and thoughtful readers. I am so grateful for how well thought out your words were. I think my husband and I were beginning to notice after reading that we were falling into two different camps as far as the name Everett. He was willing to die on that hill, I was not. This understanding was empowering as we considered our motives and options. For the next few days- while in the hospital holding him, looking at his sweet little face we tried on a few names. We really like your suggestion of Jonathan. He called him that for a day. It just never took. We tried Everett and Owen and neither truly felt right. A dark horse entered the race and moments before being discharged from the hospital we decided to try the name Truman. It worked. It fits our son perfectly. His full name is Truman Taylor Peppers. We use that or Tru or even sometimes Mr. T when addressing him. I think we both felt satisfied finding a name that had little emotional association and that we didn't already have a slew of opinions about. Truman fits the bill! Thanks, again! We are truly blessed by this precious gift and love our son's name!!
Thank you, again!
What a great name! Thank you so much for letting us know! And, what did your MOM think of it??
Thank you! We are very happy with it. I think it's a good sign that we have no lingering regret or hurt feelings about the previous situation. It had been my fear that we would compromise and hold some sort of resentment. I don't think either of us feel we did. And for my mother... as far as I know she loves it. She may be so glad we didn't choose the other name that anything else would seem brilliant, but she did seem truly delighted. What a great way to for an unwelcome issue to come together. Oh, and I noticed someone mentioned pictures, so I thought I'd include one of our handsome little boy. Thank you, again!

"I ordered the Deep Plum Vibrate Vineyard stationary (save-the-dates, invitations, enclosure cards, response cards, place cards, and thank you cards) and everything turned out wonderful. The Vibrant Vineyard worked very nicely with the Italian restaurant (Maggiano's banquets) and the Deep Plum coordinated with the plum dresses the MOH and Best Lady wore. The quality of paper was very nice and the shipping was very quick."
"These little cards are beautiful and go with the invites perfefctly! I personally used these cards for our wedding RSVP cards, with the turquoise print. They came out great and I might order more for our Direction & Info cards next. Highly recommend! Beautiful!"
"Everything, including color and font was exactly as I wanted and ordered. Nothing was brighter/duller than the images on the company site. Highly recommended."
"This card is beautiful like the invitation. I love how versatile the wording and title is for this card. Easy to edit, great help from the reviewer at Wedding Paper Divas! Thanks!"
"I loved the finished product, but more importantly, I loved the customer service I received. The people I spoke with were very friendly and helped with making this experience a lot easier. They took my ideas and added a few of their own to create a FABULOUS card. I will definately be coming back!"

Borrow the Kindle Fire eBook Reader!
The Humboldt State University Library now offers Amazon Kindle Fire tablet computers for checkout to Humboldt State students, faculty and staff. The Kindles come with carrying cases, power adapters, and a preloaded selection of ebook titles purchased from Amazon.com. Read more about the Library's Kindle initiative on Humboldt State Now.
What Kindle Titles Are Available?
The Library has purchased a selection of Kindle ebook titles, which support student learning outcomes and/or other campus initiatives and events. The titles selected to date include:
- Book of the Year Selections
- Institute for Student Success/Book Circle Readings
- Diversity Reading Group titles
- Works of featured campus speakers
- Other titles of general interest to the student population
To access the complete list of available titles and check on the availability of one of the devices, enter the phrase "Kindle Fire" in the HSU Library Catalog.
Requesting a Kindle Title for Purchase
Members of the HSU community can submit an online request for an additional ebook title to be added to the Kindle, as long as it supports student learning outcomes and is available from Amazon in the Kindle format. On the request form, specify "Kindle" in the Edition box and select "Other" in the Format box, in addition to supplying the other required information.
Borrowing a Kindle and Loan Period
Kindles may be checked out from the Circulation Desk on the first floor of the Library. They must be returned to a Library employee at the Circulation Desk - to avoid damaging the device, Kindles should not be placed in a book drop. Kindles may be checked out for 14 days, with a possible seven day renewal if no one else has requested to use it.
Fines, Replacement Fees & Refunds
A late fee of $5 per day, with a maximum of $25, will be assessed if a Kindle is returned past its due date. Any Kindle that is overdue more than five days will be declared lost and the borrower will be billed for the full replacement cost. Charges will be based on the cost of the Kindle and its accessories, plus fines and processing fees, as indicated below:
|Kindle Fire (Amazon)
|Kindle Fire Power Adapter (Amazon)
|MicroShell Folio Cover (Marware)
|Power Slingbag (Outdoor Products)
|USB Cable
|Processing Charge
|Total Replacement Cost*
If the Kindle and its accessories are returned within six months from the date of payment in "good working order," the item cost and processing fee may, at the discretion of the Library, be refunded. However, any fines that have been assessed will not be forgiven. The borrower is responsible for any damage done to the Kindle while it is checked out, and will be charged a fee based upon the extent of any damage, up to the cost of replacement. Also, the borrower will be charged the replacement fee if a Kindle is reported missing or stolen while checked out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the Library's Kindle to access the HSU wireless network?
A: Yes. The Library Kindles are configured to access the campus network automatically, without further log-in on the part of the user. If you have problems connecting to the campus network, consult the Help Desk either by stopping by their office in Library 120, or calling them at (707) 826-4357 (HELP).
Note: When using a Library Kindle to access resources via the HSU wireless network, you are bound by the Guidelines for Responsible Computing at Humboldt State University (Appropriate Use Policy).
Q: I am interested in reading an ebook that is not currently available on the Library's Kindle. Can I request that additional content be added to the device?
A: Yes. You can submit an online request for additional content as long as it supports HSU student learning outcomes and is available in Kindle format. On the form specify "Kindle" in the Edition box and select "Other" in the Format box, in addition to supplying the other required information.
Q: I would like to learn more about the operation of the Kindle Fire. Where can I go for additional information?
A: The Library staff can provide some basic information to help you get started, but, for more in-depth or technical questions, two excellent sources of information are:
- The Kindle Fire User's Guide, available in ebook format on the Kindle, or on the web.
- The Kindle Fire support page on the Amazon website.
Q: I would like to borrow one of the Kindles, but they are always checked out. Can you notify me when one of the devices is available?
A: Yes, members of the University community can follow these steps to place a hold on the Kindle:
- Access the Kindle record in the HSU Library Catalog, using a search of "Kindle Fire;"
- Click on the Make a Request link on the Actions menu;
- Log in using your HSU user name and password;
- Select the Hold option on the Patron Request screen (the Recall option is not available for the Kindle);
- On the Hold screen, select the Any Copy option and click the Submit button.
Once we receive your request, we will reserve one of the devices and notify you via email as soon as it becomes available. You will then have five days during which to retrieve it from the Circulation Desk.
Q: I am concerned that some of my private information might be retained on the Kindle and be accessible to other Library users or staff. What can I do to avoid sharing this information with others?
A: The Library is very concerned about maintaining your privacy as well. When a Kindle is returned to the Library, the device is immediately reset to the factory defaults, which removes all personal data, Amazon account information, downloaded content, and applications from the device.
Note: For security purposes, HSU Information Technology Services does, for a limited period of time, retain the names of people who have checked out a Library Kindle. ITS does not, however, collect any additional information as to how the device was used.
Q: Can I reset the Kindle to the factory defaults before I return it to the Library?
A: Yes, you can follow these steps to restore the factory defaults:
- Click on the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the home screen;
- Select More... from the panel that opens at the top of the screen to access the Settings menu;
- Scroll down the Settings to Device and touch the right arrow to open the Device settings;
- Scroll down the Device screen and select Reset to Factory Defaults.
Note: The Kindle must have a battery charge of at least 40% in order to do a factory reset. Once you reset the Kindle, you will no longer have access to the Kindle ebooks provided by the Library. If you wish to have that content restored, you will need to bring the Kindle back to the HSU Library Circulation Desk, so that we can reregister the device to our Amazon account.
Q: Can I download content from my personal Amazon account onto the Library Kindle?
A: Yes. You can follow these steps to deregister the Kindle from the Library's Amazon account and then register it with your own account:
- Click on the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the home screen;
- Select More... from the panel that opens at the top of the screen to access the Settings menu;
- Scroll down the Settings menu to My Account and touch the right arrow to open the account settings;
- Select the Deregister button;
- Once the device has been deregistered, select the Register button on the screen and sign in using your personal Amazon account.
Note: Once you deregistered the Kindle from the HSU Library's Amazon account, you will no longer have access to the Kindle ebooks provided by the Library. If you wish to have access to that content restored, you will need to bring the Kindle back to the HSU Library Circulation Desk, so that we can reregister the device using our Amazon account.
Q: What happens to any personal content that I download onto a Library Kindle, for example, ebooks, music, videos, or other apps, once I return the device to the Library?
A: All personal content will be permanently deleted from the Library Kindle as soon as it is returned to the HSU Library Circulation Desk. If you wish to retain that content, you may need to make arrangements to move it to another computer or storage device prior to returning the Kindle to the Library.
Note: Ebooks purchased through your personal Amazon account should continue to be accessible through that account, using other computers or ebook readers that support the Kindle format. Consult the Amazon website for additional information.
Q: What happens if a Library Kindle is damaged, lost, or stolen while I have it checked out?
A: By signing the Humboldt State University Library Kindle Fire Borrowing Agreement and Usage Policy, you accepted responsibility for the safe return of the Kindle Fire and any included accessories. Should one or more of those components be damaged, lost, or stolen, you will be liable for the replacement costs.
Want more Information?
The Library staff can provide some basic information to help you get started. Stop by the Circulation Desk at any time or call (707) 826-3431.

The question was whether the shoulder of Magic power forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis could hold up to contact.
Are you kidding?
Big Baby knows contact.
At 6-feet-9, 290 pounds, this wide load can't help it if he's hitting something.
He returned to the starting lineup Wednesday night after coming off the bench for one game. That was a test drive. He was back moving the pile against the Pacers.
Davis has been bumping, crashing and colliding into things his whole life.
At one time, as recently as three years ago when he was a Boston Celtic, Big Baby toyed with the idea of trying out for the NFL.
No more, though.
"No, no, no," Davis told me. "I could have been Bo Jackson!"
Davis then recounted his high-school football highlights, saying he scored five touchdowns in a game as a … tailback.
A tailback?!
That had to be, what, 100 pounds ago?
(In fact, young Big Baby weighed 345 pounds as a 6-foot-4 running back.)
Even teammate Kyle O'Quinn, sitting next to Davis in the lockeroom, wasn't quite sure if Davis was putting us on. O'Quinn started Googling on his phone.
Turns out, Big Baby wasn't embellishing.
"With five rushing touchdowns in a 52-14 defeat of Loreauville (La.) on Friday," O'Quinn begin to read a story on his phone, "University Lab [Baton Rouge] running back Nick Brossette tied Glen Davis' 10-year-old single-game school record. Yes, that Glen Davis "
Surprisingly light on his feet, Davis had also rushed for 215 yards.
Davis laughed and said, "See?! I told you, man."
He added, "[Former LSU coach] Nick Saban came to school to see me for three days. He gave me the option to play basketball and football. But he said if I turned out better at football, I had to give up basketball."
Davis said he had offers to wear a helmet from Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and USC. He quit playing football after his junior year. He didn't see eye-to-eye with the coach, saying: "I regret my senior year, not playing."

Retailers reported earnings this week and analysts were out discussing Wal-Mart Stores, Target, nd Home Depot, among others. Find out more in this week's CNBC.com StockBlog Roundup.
Although both Wal-Mart and Target delivered quarterly earnings that beat estimates, Patrick McKeever, a senior equity analyst at MKM Partners, favors Target.
"Target has been a top pick here, and I would say that Wal-Mart is more or less in the middle," he told CNBC.
Home Depot could also continue to move higher, despite a nearly 50 percent run up this year, according to Peter Keith, a senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray. In what Keith described as a "double positive" for the home improvement retailer, discretionary spending on homes seems to be picking up, while the housing recovery becomes a tailwind.
J.C. Penney's turnaround efforts, meanwhile, may take years. Dana Telsey, CEO of the Telsey Advisory Group, warned that efforts by CEO Ron Johnson were unlikely to bear fruit for at least another two years.
The battle between Apple and Samsung Electronics has largely been about the hardware. But software may be what matters more to consumers, Toni Sacconaghi, senior analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, said.
"When people are buying an iPhone versus a Samsung Galaxy S III, they're implicitly deciding, 'I want to be on the iOS platform, or I want to be on the Android platform," said the analyst, who rates Apple as an "outperform," with an $800 price target.
Renewed tensions in the Middle East took a toll on some Israeli stocks like Teva Pharmaceutical listed in the U.S. The stock is down sharply since the Israeli Air Force started its campaign by targeting and killing the head of Hamas' military force Ahmed Jaabari on Wednesday in response to waves of rocket attacks against Israeli civilians in the days before.
But Zach Herzog, head of international sales at Psagot Securities Brokerage, Israel's largest brokerage firm, said Israeli equities could have fared worse than they have.

Worn to WORN: Jenna Wornette dressed somewhere between "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" and "Bewitched"
What inspired this outfit?
I was going for loungy, light and dream-like. It was really hot out that day, so I wanted to be comfortable, but still fashionable and a little eccentric. Most of my clothes are second hand – looking like they were made somewhere between the '60s, and the '80s. I like the colours, prints and the attitudes associated with those times.
Tell me about one of the items you are wearing.
My dress is from the Salvation Army across the street from the old WORN office. It was under $10, which automatically makes it a great item. I love the quilted panel and the slight point in the seams of the chest – darted busts intrigue me. The colours are amazing and the print is genius – it's the wings of butterflies.
What is the best book to read in this outfit?
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. This is a dress to take drugs in, if I've ever seen one.
What style icon would wear this outfit?
Endora, Samantha's mother on Bewitched. It has the retro housedress vibe to it, and my recently dyed black hair has a witchy feel to it.

Requirements To Be A Juror
You do not need any special skills or legal knowledge to be a juror. All you need is an open mind and a readiness to work with the other jurors to make decisions. You also need to be impartial. Your personal feelings and biases must not influence your decisions.
Qualifications To Be A Juror CCP§203
All persons are eligible and qualified to be prospective trial jurors, except the following:
In the State of California, no person shall be excluded from eligibility for jury service solely because of: the loss of sight, hearing, or other disability, or for any reason other than those reasons provided by this section.
No one is exempt because of his or her job, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, or economic status.

995 N State Road 434 # 303, Altamonte Spgs, FL | Directions 3271428.682560 -81.418913
Mon-Sat 11am-1am; Sun 11am-12am
love service – There are a ton of mediocre places in town and food is an after thought. This place does it right with in house cooked Prime Rib on Thursdays, the girls remember what I drink and always greet me with a smile. With the economy the way it is, I enjoy spending it where people remember me and I can get good food and cold pint.
Citysearch Editorial Review – Sports fans especially, Pittsburgh loyalists and locals congregate at this Jamestown Place bar to watch the game in Altamonte Springs. Customers may think the R and G in the name stands for "really great" but instead stands for the owner's names Rhonda and George. Formerly an Applebee's restaurant, the sports bar serves food but the main draws are the 24 draft beers and four large projections and 30 flat-screen TVs. Tan is the color of choice--from the faux-painted walls to the booths. Other elements include sports and beer memorabilia, videogames and toy machines where a huge metal arm picks up a stuffed animal. Menu items include burgers, sandwiches and salads and daily deals for bargain hunters.

The Divas half-marathon at Long Island was Mary's first-ever half marathon and a special way for her family to honor the memory of their dad, Jim, who passed from cancer 29 years ago on October 7th—the same date as the race.
The weather forecast for race day was miserable—rainy and very cold. The sisters believe that something greater was working from above when the day dawned with cool temperatures, but bright sunshine. In fact, the rain did not begin to fall until after the sisters had crossed the finish line. They called it "love from above!"
Mary's goals were to get in better shape, complete the half marathon and re-connect with her sisters, who found themselves on opposite sides of the country when Mary moved to Seattle in 1980. Mary accomplished all three of her goals: she definitely got in better shape, she completed the half-marathon, and she and her sisters have newfound appreciation for each other.
In Mary's words:
"This experience was so much bigger than the actual half marathon. It was so many little and big things—our unspoken connection, a common goal, family dinners, last minute training together, crossing the finish line with each other to the cheers of family and friends. Truly amazing! We are strong and united with each other, regardless of the geographic boundaries between us."
glassybaby extends heartfelt congratulations to the O'Brien sisters for accomplishing their goals and honoring the memory of their dad! Along with her running shoes, Mary's carry-on bag included a collection of 'sister' glassybaby—one for each of her sisters.

So, after installing 2.0 on my 1st Gen iPhone using PwnageTool 2.0 (Thanks devteam!), I've installed all of the applications from the AppStore I downloaded the other day, and a few items from Cydia (OpenSSH, mobileterminal).
All this leaves about 12M on the default 500M root partition. Does anyone have any suggestions for root partition size? I'm tempted to restore with another custom ipsw image with a setting of around 750M for the root partition.
When I first installed Cydia on my 1.1.4 iPhone, it moved a few items onto the second partition to free up some space - Wallpapers, Ringtones, Fonts and something else if I remember correctly - I notice that 2.0 has ~140MB of text input engines that I won't use. I could remove these, anyone had any experience with those?

Tips, news, how-tos, and troubleshooting help for the iPad.
The "next-generation" game consoles are here -- but until their game library hits critical mass, the
With the ability to use natural language to make appointments and reminders, and a (mostly) intuitive interface, Fantastical 2 for iPad is the best way to manage your schedule.
Pricing not available
The Apple iPad is the first affordable tablet computer worth owning, but it won't (yet) replace your laptop.
The latest iPad adds several tweaks and improvements to secure its position at the top of the tablet heap. It's better all around, but third-gen owners need not apply.
If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money.
Functionally, the iPad Air is nearly identical to last year's model, offering only faster performance and better video chatting. But factor in design and aesthetics, and the iPad Air is on another planet. It's the best full-size consumer tablet on the market.
The iPad 2 refines an already excellent product. Its easy-to-use interface, vast app catalog, and marathon battery life bolster Apple's claim to being the king of tablets.
The Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad Air isn't quite as ultrathin-feeling as the original iPad cover, but it's still an excellent -- if feature-minimal -- Bluetooth keyboard accessory.
The comfortable Moshi Concerti portfolio-style case for the third-generation iPad and iPad 2 offers some clever features at a fair price, but may disorient some users at first.
Cut the Rope 2 is both fun and challenging with new characters and game dynamics that make it a worthy sequel, but watch out for in-app purchases.
For a durable case with a very good keyboard that feels like it can take a beating, the FabricSkin is your bet. But it's a pricey accessory for a year-old iPad.

It's amazing how many introverts have all kinds of tips for so much extroverting in our business world. So much that sometimes, like in this guest post by Marsha Shandur, the content has to be Part 1 and Part 2. Here are the first two of five easy and doable ideas in Part 1 of:
5 Scripts to Help Introverts Survive – and Even ENJOY a Networking Event
"Just be yourself!".
"Just talk to people – they're only people, just like you!".
"Have fun and relax – the conversation will come naturally!".
This kind of advice for going to a networking event is well-meant – but is advice that I find useless. For me, it's the equivalent of trying to teach me to cook by saying, "Just add some onion!" "Cook it for a bit, not too long!". The kind of advice that sends me into a tailspin – and leads to me ruining dinner.
When I'm nervous about something, I like specific instructions.[Continue Reading...]

I bought this as a Christmas present for my sister. I was skeptical about the quality when I purchased, but pleasantly surprised when received. The quality surpassed my expectations and it came with a nice protective bag to keep it from getting scratched while not wearing. The craftsmanship was great and the metal was shiny and very well polished. It was too big for my sister's wrist and I was afraid the soldered metal would pop off if she squeezed it to resize it to a smaller size, but she was able to make it conform to her wrist without any damage to the intricate design. She absolutely loved it and wore it everyday while she was visiting during the holidays. My sister has high class taste and she wouldn't wear it she didn't like it, but then again I am her little brother, ha! If you are looking for a jewelry gift that looks expensive but won't break the bank, you came to the right place!
A very pretty cufff bracelet which will draw attention easily. It seems a little large for my wrist (small wrist) and it doesn't conform easily so that it won't spin around. But I like it a lot and it's really pretty with excellent craftsmanship. Shipping was timely and I would buy from this vendor again.
When I opened the box I could not believe how beautiful it is! It is big just the way I like it and shiny. I can't wait to wear it out!
I purchased two of these for young women and they both liked them. However, I found the material too thin.
This is the best piece of original jewelry I own. First time I wore it, people noticed it right away stating how gorgeous it is. It is very striking and very original in it's design. I love it so much, I wear it a lot just around the house so I can look at it because of it's beauty and originality. I'd definitely suggest this as a reasonably priced gift for someone special! I stll am in awe with it as I was when I first opened the shipping package! .
Great workmanship, beautiful bracelet. Bear in mind though, this bracelet is huge. Wonder Woman bracelet huge. It is not for a smaller wrist either. You have to bend it and even then it is large. Saying all that...I love it. I got a compliment before I even wore it. A friend saw it in the jewelry box and wanted it. Nope. :) It makes a bold statement and is a real eye catcher. I love it and will wear it as often as possible.
Watches are usually for utilitarian purposes, but this is a bracket as well. I look it. You can dress it up or dress it down, and it so inexpensive.
Very beautiful handmade bracelet- well worth the price. I will enjoy this for many years to come.
This is a lovely design. Keep in mind that you should look at this item as costume jewelry due to the price. It is not a heavy silver, ample bracelet. Rather, it is light-weight with a graceful pattern and nice mix of metals. Bought as a gift. Sorry I didn't order one for myself at the same time.
These bracelets are beautiful and they look beautiful on my arms. So girlfriends of mine don't try to borrow my accessories get your own like I got mine....Loving them the quality is top-notch.

The third time was the charm for the RockSat-X launch at Wallop's Island this morning.
Several science experiments designed by Virginia Tech students were on board today's flight, including a sensor to study the earth's upper atmosphere.
The rocket launched from NASA's Wallops Island facility shortly after 7am Friday.
The launch is part of NASA's RockSat program, an educational project which provides students with hands-on experience in designing and testing experiments for space.
This is Virginia Tech's first launch as part of RockSat-X. Similar rockets will be launched in the coming weeks that have selected experiments from Baylor University, University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Puerto Rico.
Today was the third attempt to launch the RockSat-X rocket. Two previous tries in August were scrubbed because of too many boats in nearby waters of the Atlantic Ocean for a major fishing tournament, and then poor weather kept them from launching.

Isthmus (Madison, Wisconsin) (11.08.12)
Home health parties have become a very successful method of educating Latinas in Wisconsin about sexual health. The parties, which are based on the home party plan used to sell jewelry and other goods, were developed by Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin (PPWI) specifically for Latinas. Maria Barker, PPWI's multicultural program manager and a Latina, began them in 2006 in response to the high rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among Latinos. Data from the Wisconsin Department of Heath Services show teen birth rates among the Latino population to be 3.5 times higher and STD rates 1.6 times higher than those of Caucasians. Also, there is little communication about sex in the Latino community. Barker describes the goal as providing a comfortable, nonjudgmental place to educate families with fact-based, medically accurate, and age-appropriate information.
The home health party usually consists of a small group of participants—about 10 family members and friends of the volunteer host—and is led by a trained "promotore de salud" health educator. The educator presents a two-hour interactive presentation and discussion on one of seven topics: cultural values in sexuality, anatomy, puberty, adult/child communication, birth control, STDs, and breast and cervical cancer. PPWI provides childcare if needed and a stipend to buy snacks so that hosting would not create a financial burden. When designing the model, Barker realized the curriculum had to be culturally relevant and geared to the whole family, not only to women. She also took into account the religious aspect of the culture.
In the first year of operation, PPWI reached 800 Latinos with one health educator. In 2011, it reached more than 5,000 Latinas through hundreds of parties in Madison and Milwaukee with 10 health educators. The program has been so successful that it has received the support of a pro-life Milwaukee priest who became educated as a health promoter to help PPWI with topics related to sexuality and faith. PPWI has a two-year planning grant to evaluate how to expand the party outreach model and has implemented a version of the program in schools and churches. Barker was also invited to speak on a panel at the White House on how to implement the party model on a national scale. She views the key to success of the home health parties as keeping them small and local. In addition to the health aspects, the parties have provided many Latinas with social circles in the community.
For more information on home health parties, contact Maria Barker at email@example.com or call 414-289-3788.

It is a terrible thing when a once-noble phrase gets beaten to a meaningless pulp. The time has now come to rescue the phrase "religious freedom" from its abusers. In the writings and speeches of Catholic bishops and evangelical leaders in recent months, "religious freedom" has come to mean something close to its opposite. It now stands for "religious privilege". It is a coded way for them to state their demand that religious institutions should be allowed special powers that exempt them from the laws of the land.
On 22 June, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops kicked off its "Fortnight for Freedom", a campaign of complaints about alleged persecution of the largest, most powerful and politically influential religious denominations in the United States. Religious freedom is "in jeopardy in America", says Archbishop Jose H Gomez in a prominent article in the theological journal First Things. Let's consider some of the alleged assaults.
At St Xavier University in Chicago, Illinois, the adjunct professors had not had a raise in five years, according to Tom Suhrbur, an organizer with the Illinois Education Association. In 2010, in hopes of securing higher pay and benefits, they sought to organize themselves into a union.

Infant Massage Oil™ Testimonials
Natural infant massage oil to calm fussy, crying newborns while providing a bonding experience.
"My little daughter really dislikes bath time and I had been battling to get her settled after every disastrous bath. There was just no way she was going to sleep after that - she would fuss for an hour or two after her bath no matter what! A friend of mine suggested I massage her and made specific mention of your website and your baby massage oils. I thought it sounded like a lovely idea and it really has turned out to be the answer I was looking for. My daughter really relaxes when I or her dad massage her and it's actually quite fun for us as well. We started with the Infant Massage Oil and now that she's a bit older we use Blissful Baby Massage Oil. This has a lovely smell and makes me feel just as calm and relaxed as her! "- Sam K.
"Thank you for your lovely Infant Massage Oil and the advice on massaging babies. Although I was nervous at first, I have found massaging my new daughter, Jodie, a most valuable and rewarding experience. Being unable to breastfeed, I really craved physical contact with her and massage is something that both my husband and I can do. Jodie seems to enjoy it very much as well. Many thanks for the lovely products and good advice!"- Tessa, Marc and Jodie

interview WITH:
James Moll
James Moll produced "Farmland", a documentary about six farmers and ranchers from across the United States. The funding for the film came from the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance but Moll says he had complete editorial control. The film had its debut on Thursday, April 14 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. Five of the farmers featured in the film attended the gala event. Moll is a very high profile film maker for this type of project. He has academy award credits to his name but says he had never been on a farm until he produced "Farmland". His point of view remains understated as he says he wanted the farmers to speak for themselves and tell about their industry and affection for their livelihood and lifestyle.

The personalities who created the Healey and Austin Healey automobile
are a special breed. Following the interruption that World War II had
on his life, Donald Healey resumed his lifelong passion ultimatly
resulting in a line of automobiles that have become the de-facto
benchmark in British Sports Cars.
In this section of the website we provide profiles on Donald, his
sons and the Healey family. We will also profile the individuals that
were key to and had so much influence on the cars produced under the
Healey name.
In addition, over the past 50 years a great following of Healey
owners and drivers has emerged uninterrupted and now even spans
multiple generations with cars being passed from father to sons and
daughters to grandchildren.
We in the Austin Healey Club USA call these people
enthusiasts, some call them obssessed, and I am fortunate enough to
call many of them friends.

The Austin-Healey Sprite was a small open sports car designed by Donald Healey.
Its release was announced by British Motor Corporation (BMC) in 1958.
It was a small, low cost sports car designed to fill the hole in the
market left by the small pre-war Austin Seven sports cars. The car was
designed by the Healey Motor Company within the bounds of their
partnership with BMC. It first went on sale at a price of £669.
It used a tuned version of the Austin A-Series engine and as many
other components from existing cars as possible to keep the cost to a
"BIG" Healeys - 1953-1967
Probably the most recognizable Austin Healey, the 100, 100-6
and 3000 models are referred to as "Big Healeys" by enthuiasts.
Rumoured to be a term Donald Healey used to distinguish the cars from
the smallet Sprites.
Here we showcase Healeys that were limited production run or in someway special.
In this section we hope to collect and create stories and content
related to racing Healeys. If you used to or presently campaign a
Healey on the track, please share your stories with us.
