October's Third Thursday will feature the unveiling of another new B.I.R.D.S. sculpture, the fourth in the series of 20 bronze birds to be installed in the Historic Downtown Summerville area. On Oct. 17 at 6:30 p.m. two Carolina Chickadee bird sculptures will be unveiled by the family of Sarah and Jeff Wiggins, sponsors of this bird installation. Unlike the three previous unveilings, these two bird sculptures are not yet installed in their home on a downtown building due to maintenance that needs to be done at the location. At the appropriate time the chickadees will be installed and their location announced, but for the time being the B.I.R.D.S. committee wanted to reveal the newest "birds in the hand" to be added as soon as possible. The unveiling of the new sculptures will occur at the B.I.R.D.S. booth located on Town Square. The two Carolina Chickadees were created by Paul Rhymer, the artist behind the first B.I.R.D.S. installation, the Bard Owl, located on the Mayor's balcony on the Town Administration building.
Like the mourning dove located at the entrance of the Saints Cyril and Methodius Russian Orthodox Church at 122 South Main Street, the two Carolina Chickadees were sponsored by a local Summerville family. Sarah Wiggins remarked that her interest was piqued in the B.I.R.D.S. project and her family was eager to participate with a sponsorship.
"Last year we visited downtown Greenville and were really impressed by the "Mice on Main" program. We were excited to learn that Summerville would have something similar with B.I.R.D.S.
This sponsorship is especially meaningful to our family, because Chick-a-dees were my mother's favorite birds," Wiggins said.
Carolina Chickadees are native to Summerville and the Lowcountry and are a favorite of backyard bird watchers. These petite birds are described as friendly, cheery, or a ray of sunshine and chickadees are perennial visitors to the neighborhood bird feeders.
B.I.R.D.S. is a collaborative effort by the Audubon Center at Francis Beidler Forest, Sculpture in the South and Summerville DREAM to enhance the historic downtown through public art. The program's goal is to draw visitors and residents to explore the streets, businesses and restaurants of Summerville on a bird scavenger hunt guided by the B.I.R.D.S. poem. The B.I.R.D.S. public art installations will celebrate and highlight area native bird species, the vibrant and historic downtown area and enhance the town's growing reputation as a cultural arts destination.
In addition to unveiling of the latest B.I.R.D.S. acquisition, the new 2013 DREAM Christmas ornament will debut. Again, this year Summerville DREAM has chosen to support the B.I.R.D.S. project by having one of the future B.I.R.D.S. sculptures featured on the ornament — the Canada Goose. Last year's DREAM 2012 ornament heralded the coming of the B.I.R.D.S. program by featuring the Nuthatch — one of the first sculptures to be installed in the program.
This year's ornament seeks to raise funding for the Canada Goose which will be installed in Hutchinson Square eventually. Due to the size of the Canada Goose sculpture, it will be the most expensive of the bird installations.
The creators of the B.I.R.D.S. ornaments, Jill and Robin Carway of Four Green Fields Gallery and Gifts, donate proceeds from the ornament sales back to the funding of the B.I.R.D.S. project. Sales of this 2013 DREAM Christmas ornament will be available at the B.I.R.D.S. booth on Third Thursday as well as at Four Green Fields Gallery located at 119 Short Central Ave. All of the B.I.R.D.S. ornaments are available for $15 each.
Another way to support and participate in the B.I.R.D.S. program is by sponsoring one of the sculptures as the Wiggins family did by funding the purchase and installation of the Carolina Chickadees. Currently 8 of the 20 bird sculptures have been adopted for sponsorship by local families or organizations.
Prices vary dependent on the size and complexity of the installation. More information on the future sculptures will be available at the Information booth at Third Thursday and any business or individual interested in exploring this possibility can stop by to learn more. Or contact Mike Dawson at the Audubon Center at Beidler Forest at 843-462-2150 or Jim Reaves at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Tomblin searching for road funds answer
January 16, 2014
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin knows West Virginia roads and bridges need attention, but he and legislators are also well aware that funding for the purpose could be hard to come by....
I just received a response from the DOH commissioner this is part of the email: With respect to your question regarding guardrail, lighting and signing, we assume that you are referencing damage to these devices. The Division of Highways has an investigative claims unit which works to recover the cost of damaged DOH property from a motorist's insurance company

Actually I'm pretty sure it was Gov. Man chin that proposed a pay raise before he was voted to the United States Senate in 2009 Tomblin took over as "acting" governor in 2010 after the 50 percent pay raise took effect.the Governors salary went from $95,000 to $150,000 overnight. But I could be wrong

I do not support Tomblin because I've watched him over several years give himself pay raises UNDESERVING. TOO many to be acceptable. I cannot support that.

Here....I kind of agree with the guard rail thing you suggested. However, I believe the person at fault should pay through insurance for damage. But...if roads are icy, etc...you can't blame driver at fault for that.
Drunk drivers, and others who were not paying attention while driving? Sure, let them pay for guard rail. I have NO problem with someone paying for what they destroyed. However, liberals won't go for that...will they? Somehow, they don't seem to like to take "responsiblity" for own actions!

I drive through Clarksburg and Morgantown every day for work, and this winter as been extremely harsh on the roads. I'm talking pot holes a foot deep, 705 isinglass bad shape. I'd say its going to need repaved. We've got people traveling from all over the country to attend the college games especially now that we're in the Big 12. The bad thing is that the rest of the state, besides Charlston of course will be more likely to be overlooked due to lack of funding, Maybe the university has some ideas?

May be you could have the police start writing more tickets for speeders and aggressive drivers. It's getting crazy out there. Theres people doing 85-90 mph on our highways . And not a cop in sight for days. I have seen more troopers after I contacted the state police recentlywith my concerns, but more needs to be done. And cell phones, I mean come on. I see 20-30 people almost every day talking on their phones or texting while driving. Some of them are the ones driving 90 mph. Phone in one hand, drink in the other. I'm not kidding. The state police need more unmarked vehicles.

I have been trying to find out for over a year now who pays for damaged guardrails, and other state property in West Virginia. Is this covered under a drivers insurance policy? If it isn't, should it be? Or does the taxpayer pay for the damages? I have contacted Paul Maddux's office( commissioner of VDOT ), but never received a response to this particular question. I see more damaged guardrails by the day, and quite a few light poles too. And I'm not talking about the little light poles, I'm taking about the big one that you see on Interstate 79. Not to mention the huge signs that mark the exit ramps. Those things add up. If any one knows anything pleased post. Thanks

I see Tomblin's pretending again that there's no money for fixing our roads. This is a LIE designed to bring about Manchin's and Obama's idea of an Infrastructure Bank then you all get to pay MORE taxes to fund it.

I am quite sure that our Governor and our congress has a lot of pork spending that is completely unnecessary that could be spent on fixing our roads; but Manchin has his own agenda.....an "Infrastructure Bank" to tax WV citizens on so they can have more of your hard earned money to waste! Sure, we'll trust these corrupt politicians with a BANK full of our money. After all, didn't dems take good care of our taxes through our paychecks for social security?? Yeah right. Dems refused to allow Republicans to put a LOCK on our SS money but no; democrats under CLINTON put it all in the General Fund to be used on whatever they wanted to waste it on. OUR SS money dems spend for wasteful pork projects. Then 'pretend' to be shocked our money isn't there now. Crooks!

Federal prosecutors are conducting an internal review of criminal cases involving an FBI agent facing a charge of public lewdness.
U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. ordered the review after Special Agent John A. Yervelli was arrested Friday night by state police.
Troopers said they received a report from a truck driver that Yervelli made lewd gestures toward him while not wearing pants and driving on the Thruway in Eden.
Yervelli, 48, of Lake View, faces up to 30 days in jail and a $500 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor charge.
"At this point, no determination has been made as to the guilt or innocence of this individual," Hochul said in a statement. "However, it is the obligation of this office to conduct an internal review to determine if, at all, this could impact any existing cases. That internal review has begun."
A source familiar with Yervelli's work as a FBI agent said he is involved in at least one pending criminal case.
He also was involved in a large-scale federal probe of narcotics, gun and gang activity on Buffalo's West Side that resulted in federal charges against 27 people in 2010.
The FBI is likely to conduct its own internal review but so far has declined comment on Yervelli's arrest.
"It's an internal personnel matter for our office at this time," said FBI spokeswoman Maureen Dempsey.
State police said Yervelli's arrest stemmed from a report from a truck driver who said he encountered the off-duty agent at about 9 p.m. Friday while driving east on the Thruway in Eden.
The truck driver told police that the driver of a passenger vehicle "pulled up next to his truck, turned on the dome light and displayed that he was not wearing pants, while making lewd gestures," according to state police.
A trooper later stopped the vehicle at the Hamburg interchange and, after further investigation, arrested Yervelli on the public lewdness charge. He was later released on a ticket to appear in Eden Town Court.
In a strange twist, a Thruway trooper came under investigation by federal authorities in a sex case earlier this year. Then-Trooper Titus Z. Taggart – the son of a retired state police colonel – was fired from his job of 18 years in June as federal authorities probed allegations that he was involved in transporting prostitutes from Canada for parties in the U.S. while he was off duty.

Like a coiled cobra these Lady Stags are lethal. Once they strike, defeat quickly follows.
Riding a 3-for-3 Tori Singletary plate performance and Brooklyn Stones no-hitter, Berkeley successfully defended its Region 8AAA championship on Thursday, April 24, becoming the first softball team in school history to accomplish such a feat.
Berkeley won their first softball region championship in 2006 and that was a tremendous accomplishment, but nobody has accomplished what these girls accomplished and were just getting started, said Coach Boogie Grooms. These girls are young, and they are hungry.
That is a warning to the rest of Class AAA as the state playoffs begin on Friday May 2.
Singletary had three hits, A nine-run second inning floored the visiting Sea Hawks as 14 hitters went to the plate.
We were flat in the Azalea tournament and I got on them about that, Grooms said. But they learned from that experience and came out hungry these last four games. The little things in softball will produce big results.
Junior Blake Ponder continued her torrid hitting for the season, lacing two hits, scoring two runs and driving in two in the three-inning onslaught.
We worked hard for this and its so fun to win another region championship with my teammates, Ponder said.
Her coach had nothing but praise for his catcher.
We brought Blake in from third to learn this new position because we didnt have anyone else to catch, he said. She came in and was a workhorse behind the plate and handled our pitchers. Blake has been our best and most consistent hitter this year. She has been hot all year.
Grooms believes his team is getting hot at the right time. The Lady Stags have not allowed a run since the Azalea Tournament, outscoring their region opponents 46-0 in just nine innings of play.
I think well see some very good things from these girls, he said.
Theyre hungry, and these Lady Stags want to eat.

oh nice but i remember there was a link on the website that they were selling frostmournes. is that the same ones from the website? just wanna make sure because they are so much i want to make sure its just the same quality one
... wow 420 fucking dollars i thought it was like 200 what the fuck!!
All this complaining is simply further proof that Blizzard could send each and every player a real-life wish-granting flying unicorn carrying a solid gold plate of chocolate chip cookies wrapped in hundred dollar bills, and someone would whine that Blizzard sucks for not letting them choose oatmeal raisin.
Report me for being OT but, why is your picture of Kim Job il? And a siggy with "RIP"?
alright thanks for the link. i think im just going to buy it because its so fucking sick and i havnt spent anything really in a long time so ill buy it
also greektoast im from south Korea but he was one of my uncles
Just Remember Tauren that fucking amazing sword costs a arm and a leg to ship internationally.
To get it to Australia was about $550 last time i checked. Yes, more than the cost of the sword
Stupid expensive Australia and international shipping woes
so you had to pay 550 for shipping and for the sword.. wow im canadian hopefully its like 50 dollars shipping or some shit. 550 is fucked up no joke
i have one, ill sell it to you. the sword and the wall mount. send me a pm and we can talk.
If there's one thing I'm not, it's in control.
Would absolutely love to have one myself, but it simply isn't worth the price. It has to be a bit more special/unique or useful for me to justify spending over half a months rent on it.
One day if I get some extra money I might buy it though, just got so many things I am saving up for these days.. :O
Actually Blizzard never selt this, the seller was Epic Weapon, they actually have a few ones to sell.
But i can't spend 450€ for this ...

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
A protein that plays a key role in lactation could also represent a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for breast cancer, scientists claim. The protein, Elf5, is a member of the E twenty-six family of transcription factors, several of which have previously been implicated in cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis.
Elf5 itself is a key regulator of cell fate determination in the mammary gland. A State University of New York at Buffalo, and Princeton University-led team has now carried out a series of in vitro and vivo studies that have shown how Elf5 also acts to suppress epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer metastasis through direct transcriptional repression of Snail2 in both the mammary gland epithelium and in breast cancer. Snail2 is a master regulator of mammary stem cells and a known inducer of EMT.
Their work in rodents with Elf5-knockout (KO) mammary glands showed that lack of the transcription factor leads to gene expression changes associated with several molecular features of EMT. And when they stably overexpressed Elf5 in normal murine mammary gland (NMuMG) epithelial cells, the cells were able to resist undergoing EMT in response to the addition of TGF-β, which normally triggers EMT in epithelial cells.
Supporting a role for Elf5 in suppressing EMT, the researchers also found Elf5 gene expression was much lower in breast cancer cell lines characterized by mesenchymal morphology and high metastatic potential. And knocking down Elf5 in a breast cancer cell line that normally exhibits moderate basal levels of Elf5 induced EMT-like features. Conversely, when a highly metastatic, mesenchymal-like breast cancer cell line was forced to overexpress Elf5, the cells underwent the reverse, mesenchymal-to-epithelial process, effectively reverting back into an epithelial state.
Subsequent in vitro studies showed that Elf5 suppresses the EMT-related transcription factor Snail2, and when the investigators looked more closely at microarray datasets from clinical samples they found both that Elf5 expression was markedly reduced in hyperplasia and multiple breast tumor subtypes, and that there was an inverse correlation between the expression of Elf5 and the Snail2 gene, Snai2. Interestingly, analysis of microarray data also found a link between good prognosis and high levels of Elf5 expression, and poorer prognosis and high tumor Snai2 expression levels.
Moreover, direct evaluation of breast cancer samples by Princeton's Yibin Kang, Ph.D., et al showed that Elf5 is lost during the early onset of breast cancer progression, at the stage of breast hyperplasia.
The team separately carried out a series of in vivo experiments to evaluate the effects of Elf5 on breast tumor metastasis to the lungs. The combined data from studies in xenograft and allograft metastasis models, as well as the MMTV-Neu transgenic mouse models, showed that tumors overexpressing Elf5 were far less able to metastasize, whereas Elf5-KO tumors more readily metastasized and generated increased numbers of lung metastasis nodules.
The researchers claim their studies provide the first confirmation that Elf5 acts as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer, and that the Elf5-Snail2 pathway could represent a promising target for intervention in early breast cancer. And, they add, because the loss of Elf5 occurs as an initial event in the disease, measuring levels of the transcription factor could also represent a useful diagnostic tool.
"Together, our analyses have concluded that Elf5, through its direct negative regulation of Snail2, serves as a master enforcer of the epithelial cell fate," the team writes in a paper in Nature Cell Biology. "In the physiological context, this role promotes the proper identity of alveolar mammary epithelial cells, whereas in the pathological context Elf5 functions as a suppressor of EMT and cancer metastasis."
The published paper is titled "Elf5 inhibits the epithelial–mesenchymal transition in mammary gland development and breast cancer metastasis by transcriptionally repressing Snail2."

Area motorists, perhaps those headed to the stores hoping to take advantage of post-Christmas sales or those returning to the workplace, were in for an unpleasant surprise as they hit the roads Wednesday morning. Sleet, freezing rain and snow accumulation of more than 5 inches made for dangerous driving conditions across the roadways of Columbiana and Hancock counties.
The winter storm moved in quickly Wednesday morning, enveloping the area as it swirled its way up the Eastern coast of the United States from the south. It was a rough way to resume the work week for those driving, as rain turned to sleet and freezing rain early yesterday morning. What followed was a heavy dose of snowfall. And high winds and drifting snow also were factored in as road conditions worsened.
"To complicate matters, 15-20 mile per hour winds with gust of 35 mph will cause lots of blowing and drifting," advised Lee Hendricks of the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh.

Traffic on Route 30 outside downtown East Liverpool slowed to a crawl after Wednesday morning's winter storm made driving conditions treacherous. A wintry mix of freezing rain and snow fell on Columbiana County early Wednesday creating a scary commute for many after the Christmas holiday. The storm system is expected to continue moving out of the area today with little snow accumulation forecast. (Photo by Devin Bezeredi)
With a winter storm warning in effect until 6 a.m. today, meteorologists with National Weather Service were warning that the worst was yet to come as the day progressed Wednesday.
"A winter storm warning for snow means that heavy snowfall will make travel dangerous. If you must venture out at all ... use extreme caution," read the warning.
On its Facebook page, the county's Emergency Management Agency reported measuring four inches of snowfall at its Lisbon office around 2 p.m. Thursday.
According to dispatcher Pat Scafide of the East Liverpool Police Department, there had already been three auto accidents reported as of 11:30 a.m. Wednesday in the East Liverpool area.
"The roads are terrible and we're having trouble with our plow trucks. Everyone should drive carefully," said Scafide.
A large winter storm system moving up from the South is to blame, according to weather experts.
"It moved up from the Louisiana coast, gradually turning into the East Coast," explained Hendricks. "What (your area) is experiencing is the wrap around on the back of the system."
Lighter snow showers along with sporadic freezing rain were expected to continue into last night. Today, the forecast calls for less accumulation with only a slight chance of snow showers before 4 p.m. However, winter temperatures are here to stay with a high of only 32.

When I was 7 months pregnant with my first child, my husband and I took a birth class at NCMC with 10 or so other couples.
For seven weeks, each couple came and completed the required activities, asked terrifying questions about labor, and interacted superficially with the other pairs.
We were in a pre-baby daze, not so much there to make friends as to hopefully prepare for something we couldn't even pretend to imagine. At the end of the class we took home a phone list with everyone's numbers and promptly lost it amongst the mountain of new baby things that had taken over our house.
At the breastfeeding clinic a month later, I ran into one of the women from the birth class. We both carried flailing newborns as we tried to navigate the world of feeding and growth, and we were both exhausted, scared and feeling pretty alone.
We exchanged numbers with the intention of meeting one day for lunch, and now, four years later, our sons are growing up together, and we talk nearly every day. Without that friend and her commiseration as our kids grew from infants to preschoolers, I would have shed a lot more tears over the little things as I tried to figure out the details of being a mom.
Once we have children, the world changes for us in ways there are not words to describe.
When we were non-mothers, we didn't know these feelings existed, or that life would actually be unrecognizable after our births as moms. And that new, unrecognizable life can be a lonely, scary place to be as a first-time mom. We quickly find we must, must connect with one another if we are to survive, sanity intact. It isn't because we no longer want our friends without kids, and it isn't because we can only have lives that involve our children.
It is simply because other moms are in the trenches right along with us, and sometimes that camaraderie is the only thing getting us through. We need someone to say, "I've been there," or, "that happened to me the other day, too."
Without that other-mom sounding board, we begin to wonder if we are doing anything right. If anyone else is making the mistakes we are or struggling the same.
And we need someone to laugh with, too.
Someone to help us find perspective and remind us there really is a little humor in getting peed on for the 13th time in a day.
A community of mothers is something we're all trying to build when we go to Twinkle Babies at the library, tumbling class at the Rec Center, or play time at the park.
We're searching for connection for our kids, but also for ourselves.
When we join a community of moms, we begin to realize that we're not at all alone, and it's just as new, just as scary, and just as crazy at all their houses, too.

On a bitterly cold Tuesday with snow and freezing rain possible, Mary Gillis huddled at her office in Bridlewood Farms drawing up a sales contract.
"I'm on fire," she says, oblivious to the unseasonably frigid weather. "We've been very busy."
Gillis' story can be duplicated throughout the Ridgeville area where Dan Ryan Builders' Bridlewood Farms stands and in nearby Jedburg, which extends from U.S Highway 78 to exit 194 in Berkeley County.
"We are certainly located along major commuter routes, north of Interstate 26 and south on Highway 61," says Gillis, sales associate with Dan Ryan Builders.
Either way, homeowners can reach Interstate 95, a straight route to places such as Disney World. "You can go see Mickey," she quips.
The Jedburg-Ridgeville area cuts across sectors in the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors housing report, but as a guide, rural Berkeley County's closed sales shot up 54.9 percent last year from 2012 and rural Dorchester County's sales rose 28.1 percent. The areas both ranked in the top five regions for sales growth in metro Charleston in 2013.
The town of Ridgeville sits seven miles further north at exit 187 and connects with Jedburg by way of Highway 78. Most larger neighborhoods in the area were built in the past 10 years. They include Felder Creek in Berkeley County and Drakesborough in Dorchester County near Mallard Road - both developed by Beazer Homes.
Bridlewood Farms, while having a Ridgeville address, is located several miles south of the town of about 2,000. Youngsters are in the same Dorchester District 2 school zone as Summerville.
"It will eventually be 800 homes," she says. At present, the community marks 160 homes, up from a handful five years ago. The soon-to-launch second phase will include a pet park and dog pond.
"I tell people that Ridgeville is what Summerville was 15 years ago," Gillis says.
The areas benefit from two complementary workforce perks. I-26 and other major roadways are close by, making it easy to drive to and from major employers and businesses in North Charleston, Goose Creek and Charleston. "Boeing people live here," Gillis says.
At the same time, a number of large warehouse and distribution buildings are off Jedburg Road, and the expanding Showa Denko Carbon has a plant in Ridgeville.
Gillis says a sign of the area's popularity stems from the home costs. "The base price has grown $25,000 in the past three years," she says. Yet even with rising dollar totals, Bridlewood hasn't been more popular. "I'm selling like crazy," she says. Another lure of the neighborhood is it sits in a rural area where 100 percent U.S. Department of Agriculture financing can be secured.
She says problems can crop up if home appraisals come in too low for the purchase price. That hasn't happened at Bridlewood Farms. "There's no underappraising," she says.
Places such as Jedburg and Ridgeville attract buyers because they're effectively in the country while close enough to jobs and city perks such as restaurants and entertainment.
They're "the best investment for the greatest return," Gillis says. "It's what people look for from a community: room to breath, desirable schools and an easy commute."
To reach the Ridgeville-Jedburg area from downtown Charleston, head west on I-26. Travel close to 30 miles to exit 194 for Jedburg Road, passing by Summerville.
Neighborhoods can be found either turning right or left on Jedburg Road. Go another seven miles on I-26 to exit 187 for the town of Ridgeville.
Reach Jim Parker at 937-5542 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Jedburg-Ridgeville at a glance
Location: Dorchester-Berkeley counties
Number of homes: Around 1,000
Square footage: 1,232-6,127
Look & feel: The two communities are more than a few miles apart, yet the surrounding area fills in the semi-rural expanses northwest of Summerville. The newer neighborhoods tend to be cropped from pine forests on the edge of lands cleared for farms and light industrial development. Country settings outside the newer subdivisions sport properties with an acre or so to 22 acres or more. Most of the growth stands a couple of miles from Interstate 26 or U.S Highway 78. Newer communities were built in the last decade or so and offer houses priced from the $150,000s to $300,000. Estate-like properties date as far back as 1906. The sector includes parts of Dorchester and Berkeley counties.
Homes on market: 70 or more
List prices: $50,000-$890,000
Schools: (Dorchester 2) Reeves Elementary, DuBose Middle, Summerville High, (Berkeley) Cane Bay Elementary, Middle and High; Pinewood Prep (private).
Fun facts: Wassamassaw, located off Jedburg Road in Berkeley County, is a Native American word thought to mean connecting water; the first causeway and bridge through nearby Four Holes Swamp cypress forest dates to 1753.

I don't know how related this is to my problem but after recently setting up Compiz and installing Wallch 4.0, I can't boot up Synaptic Package Manager in XFCE mode, but it does boot in MATE mode. Is there any way to repair this or must I uninstall Wallch even though I had it off in trying to boot Synaptic several times? It might have nothing to do with it either, but I updated Wallch from their Launchpad site via Terminal.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Cousin of Prince William India Hicks has created some special jewelry and is set to send the littlest prince – who was born on July 22 – a set of cufflinks.
The jewelry, monogrammed with the letter G, is part of a collection the former model-turned-lifestyle guru and jewelry maker has created in her Bahamian home.
There is no tradition of giving presents at birth within the royal family, but gifts are given at the christening, which is likely to happen in the fall.
A goddaughter of Prince Charles, India's Love Letters line is inspired by her father David, a decorator and designer.
"He made a geometric alphabet and I have translated that into jewelry," Hicks, 45, told PEOPLE. "The alphabet that I have done has a strong link with my past but yet is very much in the present. At a glance they could look like hieroglyphics – they are not the obvious letter."
Adds Hicks, "Everybody loves something that's personalized and there certainly is a great tradition within the royal family of monogramming, going back over the generations, so it just seemed an ideal present."
Hicks, who lives with partner David Flint Wood, 52, and their five young children, has watched how the royal baby has even "captivated" people on their small island.
"Over the years we have seen William grow from a mischievous monkey into a reassuringly stable man, who values his close relationships with family and friends and honors his position with sensitivity and frankness," she says.
And one of baby George's names is Louis, which is believed to be in honor of Earl Louis Mountbatten, Hicks' grandfather.
As William and Kate, both 31, begin these post-birth days at the Middleton family home, Hicks – who was one of Princess Diana's bridesmaids while her mother was an attendant to Queen Elizabeth on her wedding day – sees the upbringing of George being different from previous generations.
"There is a change in the way the royal family are able to bring up their children. Neither is right or wrong – it's just a change … Now, we are much more hands-on as a generation. The tide has turned somewhat in our feeling towards that. It would be much more easier for someone like Kate to say 'it would be unforgivable to leave my children behind,' for example."
Your Turn: Did your newborn infant arrive on the same day as Will and Kate's bundle of joy? If so, send us your photos of your baby boy or girl for a chance to appear on PEOPLE.com
Can't get enough about the royal baby? Be among the first to know the news! Sign up below for our daily newsletter to find out about the new addition and other special offers – so you'll be the first to know everything from the baby's name to how the new mom and dad are adjusting to parenting.

A Winning Recipe for College Dining
Jul 20, 2015
by Erica Lewis
Food is important to any college student. Who doesn't love food? When college begins, it's important to think about all of the dining options that are available. Many campuses offer dining halls on campus, with smaller schools having one or two options and larger universities boasting more choices. There are many advantages to eating on campus, the biggest one being convenience: Not only are your options close by but payment is often as easy as swiping your student ID. Many students may be tempted to eat off campus but that can mean going through a lot of money in a hurry.
Whether on or off campus, it is important to think about the amount of money being spent on food; however, this is especially important if living off campus where you can't necessarily eat at the dining halls for every meal. Buying fast food can seem like a cheaper option but it will add up over time. Money can be saved by buying food at the grocery store; your meals will usually be healthier, too. This could be the nudge you need to learn how to cook!
Finally, I recommend taking advantage of any opportunities to get free food! This varies from campus to campus but there are usually plenty of chances to get free food if you look for them. (At UNL, for example, many of the less-popular sports offer free food to students for attending.) Other opportunities could be handouts from your campus rec center or from your RA at dorm floor meetings. As a college student, you'll quickly learn to take advantage of anything that's free!
Going to college doesn't have to break the bank or saddle you with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt. Check out the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search where you'll discover you qualify for hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships in just a few minutes, then apply and win! It's that easy!

College Applications - Start Early and Revise Often
Jul 17, 2015
To all the seniors...
Take a deep breath. The most common piece of advice for high school seniors is to start your applications early and that's because it's true...but it doesn't have to ruin your summer! The Common Application essay prompts are already out and the 2015-2016 Common App opens on August 1st. Some of you are probably staring at a list of 6 to 12 schools wondering how you'll manage to write all those essays, pay for all those application fees and keep track of those deadlines. It's possible, though: We can do this together.
As someone who applied to 11 schools, my best advice for writing lots of essays is to start them all. Grab a journal and write down the prompts and your initial ideas. Carry that journal with you and keep track of anything that comes to your mind. Try setting the timer for 20 minutes, playing your favorite album and simply writing. If that doesn't give you any ideas, sit down with your parents or another adult that knows you well and just talk about what has shaped you as an individual. Remember that your first drafts are simply drafts; the advantage of starting early is that you can revise and think it through over and over again.
To reduce the anxiety, print out a calendar and map out your deadlines. You can try color coding your schools, scholarship deadlines and other big events. Write in when you are going to send the essays to editors and when you are going to submit them to your colleges. Remember, The Common App and other systems get really busy on the major deadline days so submit early to avoid technical difficulties. It's also a good idea to share this calendar with your parents and estimate how much your applications will cost. In addition to the application fee, your high school might have transcript fees so consider that as well and plan in advance where this money will come from.
Have you started the college application process yet? What has worked for you thus far?
And don't forget, you should pay for your college education with as much free money as possible! Find as many scholarships and grants as you can before turning to student loans. Visit the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today where you'll get matched with countless scholarships and grants for which you qualify, then apply and win! It's that easy!

In a progressive society where it is becoming increasingly common to live out the way you feel rather than based on your biological, genetic composition, there has been an increase in the cases of trans-identities that are not only related to gender. As in Bruce Jenner's transformation to Caitlin Jenner, those who wish to better suit their desired identity have pursued physical alterations. A little left of the spotlight, the case of civil rights activist and teacher Rachel Dolezal's physical, transracial transformation went unnoticed until her parents revealed that their daughter is of European descent. As Dolezal daringly redefines ethnic identity, she is bringing momentum to issues of transracial identities. This raises question as to which identity should be used when it comes to grey areas in the world of education- where there are educational awards, scholarships, and incentives specifically for born-African Americans.
Dolezal feared, on multiple occasions, people would "blow her cover." How secure then, is Dolezal in her identity of a black female? With a quick hair change to long, blonde dreadlocks and blackface- a process in darkening the skin to make it appear blacker, Dolezal metamorphosed into a convincing African American woman. Dolezal insists she has identified as African American since she was five years old. If Dolezal had applied to Howard University as a Caucasian female, would she have been accepted as easily? According to her father, most likely not. Dolezal's father asserts, "You've got a white woman coming in that got a full-ride scholarship to the black Harvard." It seems in this case, a student can earn scholarships of choice by simply reassigning their demographics.
In your opinion, how should colleges approach issues of transracial identities when it comes to admissions and scholarships? Should traditional, race-based scholarships be exclusive to one's biological race?

Why Students Should Use Scholarship Websites
Jul 15, 2015
Why should you use scholarship websites? How should you use them? And what are the chances of you actually getting scholarships off of these sites? I had the opportunity to interview Scholarships.com VP Kevin Ladd and here's what I found.
Scholarships.com is a space for scholarship providers to manage their own submissions, so what you see is what you get. The scholarships offered on this site are then more up to date than some of the other sites out there. Some tips for using this site included using it frequently, constantly looking for new postings and maintaining your profile so your information is current. Also a pro tip from Kevin: "If you can use a single essay for more than one scholarship application, DO IT. Just make sure that you are still following the instructions and not cutting corners."
Timing and organization are also important. Sort your scholarship results based on the time of year with larger dollar amounts at the top of the list in the fall and by deadline date in the spring so you don't miss applying for anything. Though this is not to say that there is any one "good" time to apply for scholarships; rather, you should continuously apply for as many as you can throughout the year, regardless if you're in your junior year of high school or your senior year of college.
I also asked about the kinks. What are people put off by when using the site? The two biggest drawbacks are users having too many results and not knowing where to start, and also the profile to some, is asking for too much detail. In response to that, Kevin stated that users "will get even better results by spending a bit more time and providing a bit more information." That being said, it's okay to brag about what you do! Give them the entire list of all the activities, sports and clubs you participate in, all the details about awards you've received, internships, research you've done, even where you've worked. It'll pay off!
If it isn't easy enough, I'll make it easier. You're already at the leading site for scholarships so just click Scholarhips.com to fill out your free profile now. Don't waste another second and let someone take away the money you deserve.
And remember, there's no need to rely on expensive student loan options to pay for your college education. For more information on finding free scholarship money for college, conduct a Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today, then apply and win! It's that easy!

The Pros and Cons of Commuting
Jul 15, 2015
by Ashley Grego
Commuting from home is awesome or awful depending on the student. Do the benefits of commuting outweigh the negatives? As a commuter student, I have firsthand experience with the pros as well as the cons.
Commuting from home is not for everybody but for some, it is really the perfect fit. And if it isn't? Use the money you saved to move onto or closer to campus further into your college years.

For the first time this fall, high school students in the Los Angeles, California area will be participating in a new addition to the curriculum, "Sext" Education. KNX 1070's Mark Austin Thomas reports the L.A. Unified School District has put together a plan that will educate students on the dangers of sharing sexually-explicit photos via texting and the Internet. Each school in the district will receive lesson plans, supplemented by videos and handouts for the students.
A 2011 national Pew survey found that, while only 3 percent of teens with cellphones sent naked or near-naked photos or videos of themselves, 21 percent of teens ages 14-17 claimed they had received them. District Police Chief Steven Zipperman says the campaign will teach students about violations of child pornography and obscenity laws that can come with sexting, along with the personal consequences. The primary focus of the effort is to get students to really think before they hit "send".
Holly Priebe-Diaz, the District's intervention coordinator, believes "We don't have the exact number on how big or how widespread the problem is specific to our district, but we do know that I's a growing trend. So we want to try to get ahead of it and raise awareness for all of our students."
Texas Professor, Jeff Temple who has co-authored a sexting study, hopes the curriculum gives facts without exaggerating the risks of sexting, and emphasized the importance of consent.
Do you think "Sext" education classes are inappropriate to implement in a high school curriculum? Have you been a part of, or witnessed a scenario where "sexting" became a problem?
Your opinion matters, let it be heard on a college campus where you can impact thousands of your peers. Begin your college search and allow the experts to determine which college best suits your needs by filling out a quick profile at Scholarships.com.
And don't forget, you should pay for your college education with as much free money as possible! Find as many scholarships and grants as you can before turning to student loans.

The Many Benefits of Honors Programs
Jul 13, 2015
by Erica Lewis
There are many opportunities that come from being a good student in high school...and I don't just mean scholarships. Many colleges have honors programs, which give students the chance to meet other high-achieving students and challenge themselves even more academically. There are many advantages to being in an honors program, such as opportunities to meet with professors one-on-one, take classes with other honors students and build your resume.
Honors program members have the chance to get to know their professors more personally and meet faculty that many students may not have to opportunity to meet. I'm in the honors program at UNL and I enjoy getting to know my professors more than just seeing them at the front of the room during lectures.
You may also be eligible for priority registration or special classes offered only to honors program students. These classes are specifically designed for honors students and are smaller in size compared to the typical class. You can get to know your professor and classmates really well in this setting. In fact, I have met some of my best friends have through the honors courses at UNL!
Being in an honors program is a great resume builder as well. Once you start college, your high school resume is essentially null and void so you pretty much have to start over. An honors program looks good on a resume because it shows that you have put in extra effort for those classes and aren't afraid of a challenge.
If you have the opportunity to join the honors program at your school, I strongly recommend it. It is an excellent way to meet professors, students and build your resume. It may require a little extra work, but trust me: It's worth it!

Under the Obama administration, the motto "work hard, play harder" is continually being redefined to "work hard, pay harder". According to The Wall Street Journal, a new plan is being finalized that will allow millions of low-income Americans to slash their monthly student-debt bills, in turn raising taxpayer costs for the government's mushrooming student-loan portfolio. This week the Education Department proposed to expand eligibility for the Pay As You Earn program, which sets borrowers' monthly payments as a small share of their income.
Education Department officials report that six million more Americans will become eligible this autumn for PAYE. The program caps monthly loan payments at 10 percent of discretionary income, defined as the amount above 150 percent of the poverty level. Well-paid graduates and those working minimum-wage jobs will be paying equivalent proportions of their income towards their student debt. While low-income borrowers who have incurred an unusually large federal debt reap the benefits of the revised program, a majority of college graduates and taxpayers will continue to suffer.
With a current outstanding student debt of $1.2 trillion, the White House continues to give people an economic incentive not to repay a loan. Because these loans are issued regardless of the borrower's ability to repay, opponents of PAYE say the loans fund basic living expenses with tens of thousands of borrowers consuming aid even when they're not enrolled for courses. Universities have also taken advantage of the flawed program, offering to pay student's monthly bills under PAYE while simultaneously raising tuitions. The loans are turning into six-figure grants, debts the taxpayers incur.
Is the Obama Administration setting a double standard, promoting income equality, yet essentially paying young people not to pursue higher incomes? Is PAYE a program that allows those enrolled to take advantage of the system, while punishing those who work hard for their money?
Working after high school IS NOT getting you a financial jump on your college peers. You are instead creating self-inflicted wounds to your livelihood when you could be one of the six million new applicants prospering from Obama Hoods thievery. It makes absolutely no sense not to apply for financial aid with curriculums that allow you to maintain a job, programs that ease (or even lift) the burden of financial debt, and give you the opportunity to earn a degree to fulfill your childhood dreams! No individuals of any race, age, gender, or income class have an excuse to not get their degree, seeing expert assistance is as quick as completing your Scholarship.com profile.

Whether it's Bruce Jenner's interview with Diane Sawyer outlining his journey from the world's greatest athlete, to a surgery which induced womanhood, or actress Laverne Cox breaking the trans glass ceiling in the Netflix's hit series, Orange Is the New Black, where a trans woman is actually played by a trans woman, the transgender community continues to break the boundaries of social acceptance. The transgender push for equality has now shattered the Higher Education glass ceiling. According to the Washington Post, starting next fall, University of California applicants will be the first wave of students given the option to signal their sexual orientation and any number of gender identities on their application.
This change is one of several new accommodations the university has made in effort to make the campus as inclusive as possible. "I think it introduces the kind of welcoming environment we want to have just by introducing the question on the first thing students will see, which is the application they're filling out. We think it's very important," said Pamela Brown, vice president for institutional research and academic planning, who serves on the system-wide-advisory council on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues.
UC undergraduate program applicants will now have the option to answer the following questions:
How do you describe yourself?(Mark one answer)
What sex were you assigned at birth, such as on an original birth certificate?
Do you consider yourself to be (Mark one answer):
The university hopes to one day implement these options in graduate study and employment applications. The information will enable them to track such students in order to monitor graduation rates and determine if the support available is sufficient.
President Janet Napolitano, who pushed for these changes with the creation of a task force last summer said "it doesn't stop [here] – we must continue to look at where we can improve so everyone at UC feels respected and supported."
University officials note that an applicant's answer to any of the questions holds no bearing on chances for admission.

The new year has already been full of change for Britney Spears.
She's left her gig as judge on The X Factor, her new puppy Hannah is gravely ill, and on Jan. 11 she announced she and fiancé Jason Trawick, 41, have called it quits after more than three years together.
While Spears, 31, told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement, "I'll always adore him, and we will remain great friends," a family source says the signer is "definitely upset about the split."
What tore the couple apart? Spears, who has two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline, had hoped to start a family soon with Trawick, but he wasn't ready. Says the close source: "There were so many issues he wanted worked out before that" – including her neediness. "It was difficult for Jason to have his own life."
Adds an insider: "Britney is very insecure and has had a lot of trouble with jealousy." These insecurities may be heightened now. "[She] is very worried about being alone," says the family source. "She is upset, but for a long time she has treated him like a friend, not a romantic partner." The family source adds that some close to the singer, who had a breakdown in 2008, "are concerned about her future."

Fourteen Indicted in Suffolk County Heroin Ring
RIVERHEAD, N.Y.—Suffolk County prosecutors on Wednesday arraigned 14 alleged members of a multi-million dollar drug distribution network the stretched from Brooklyn to Long Island.
District Attorney Thomas Spota announced the charges against 10 men and four women for various roles in selling the drugs. At a press conference announcing the 37-count indictment, Mr. Spota said the loosely connected criminal ring may have sold as many as 360,000 bags over the past year, worth a street value of $3.6million.
"Our narcotics detectives and our prosecutors have told us [they] probably were the most prolific operations that they have seen in many, many a year," he said.
The charges follow a 38-day operation by the narcotics division of the Suffolk County Police Department that began after undercover detectives bought a previously unseen batch of heroin branded "high octane."
They traced the drugs to the Williamsburg, Brooklyn, home of 32-year-old Miguel Vicente, described by Assistant District Attorney Kate Wagner in court as "the king pin of [the] multi-million dollar heroin network."
During the probe—which included wiretaps—Mr. Vicente allegedly supplied around 40,000 bags of heroin to at least six different dealers, who have all been indicted, prosecutors said. Kelly Mullen, 27, of Holtsville, L.I. allegedly received around 16,000 of them, prosecutors said.
Ms. Mullen–who lived with husband Aaron Smith, 57, and sister April Mullen, as well as 11 children–then allegedly sold the drugs for $10 a bag, primarily from their Holtsville home, prosecutors added.
Mr. Spota said police observed some drug sales from a car, while some of the Mullen sisters' children were also inside the vehicle. He added that the family is also the subject of a separate investigation for welfare fraud.
All 14 suspects were arrested simultaneously March 9.
Mr. Vicente, alongside Kelly Mullen and Mr. Smith, was indicted on felony charges of operating as major traffickers and drug sales, possession and conspiracy. They face a maximum possible sentence of life in prison if convicted.
All three pleaded not guilty and remained in custody pending bail applications. The other suspects facing lesser charges also pleaded not guilty and received various bail arrangements.
"This is about as serious a case as there can be," Criminal Court Judge William Condon told Mr. Vicente, in agreeing to prosecutors' request for either a secured bond of $7.5 million or $2.5 million in cash.
Mr. Vicente's lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, said, "He's always said he's innocent."
George Duncan, who represented Mr. Smith and both Mullen sisters in court, said he believed the charges were "over-exaggerated."
"Mr. Smith and Ms. Mullen live a very modest life. … No fast cars, jewelry. It's not a multi-million dollar drug operation," he said.
At the news conference, Mr. Spota displayed some of the materials seized during the raids at multiple locations last month, including bags stuffed full of heroin, about $36,000 in cash and a Breitling watch worth $40,000.

Commuter Rail Access Act seen as a good start
April 18, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Although his original legislation creating the West Virginia Commuter Rail Access Act was changed considerably by the West Virginia House of Delegates, state Sen....
wasting your life away on a commute for a little more money ... some as much as 4 hrs a day. sorry, you all must LOVE money, or the ride....or both.

I think all of you do not realize this bill provided "NO" tax dollars for subsidizing of the commuters on the MARC train... Mainly requires an agreement to be negotiated with Maryland. The fund that was created is Empty and probably will stay that way under current economic circumstances. If the tax subsidy had not been removed the bill would have almost certainly failed at the committee level!

cat1116: I got to the 'station' (nothing more than a pavillion and gravel lot) and parked my car. I got back to my car and there was some parked behind me so I couldn't leave. I had to have my wife pick me up and come back later to get my car. Leaving there on Flowing Springs can be a nightmare too. One person making a left can tie up the entire line of cars. Yes, Brunswick has it's problems but the frequencies of the trains and a paved, marked lot is worth the aggravation. There have been bad days on 340, but for the most part that is only on Friday's in the summer. I also prefer to catch the two trains that start at Brunswick so I can get out of my car and walk onboard instead of standing in the wind, rain and cold waiting for the train to come by. Personal preference.

Cynakel: What is/was the worst part of the parking situation in your opinion at Duffields? Do you have to pay to park there now like at the Martinsburg one? Getting stuck on Rt 340 for more than 30 minutes to 1 hour (or longer) is not my idea of fun or waiting more than 30 mins to get out of the Brunswick parking lot on some occasions and people not familiar with manners cutting you off. Some days you get the double whammy - slow egress from Brunswick and then get stuck in traffic at Rt 340. Wondering how the new traffic flow to the Charlestown Race Track and Gaming (aka Hollywood Casino) is going to effect our commute then? Eed017: Agreed. Don't want to forget the $ in taxes we pay to help educate their children so that they may have a better life than we did.
Dirtman: Guess that means I'd have to separate from my spouse. NOT!

My family has been here for seven generations. We've lived here, been community leaders here, invested our money here, gone to church here and volunteered here. I would also love to work here but would have to take a 60-70% pay cut to do so. A car payment is the same wherever you live, and ever since out-of-staters discovered our lower taxes, those taxes and housing payments have increased as well. The train commuters have been given nothing as yet. The tax break is going to CSX with no guarantee that it will trickle down to the passengers. Meanwhile our taxes subsidize roads and bridges other must have to get to work. I could whine about my taxes paying for something I barely use, but I comprehend that pre-existing infrastructure (roads AND trains) is necessary to bring better paying jobs here for the greater good.

cat1116: I'm a WV rider that goes to Brunswick. I've tried Duffields and Harpers Ferry but the parking at those two locations is horrible. So I deal with the lesser evil by going to Brunswick (and save $20 a month)

So we bought our way 'to the table'. The $770K works out to about $160 per WV rider. I don't see what this enticement is going to get us in the long run.

I wonder how many of the current WV commuters who drive to Brunswick would change their minds if there was an additional train added earlier in the morning and all stops in evening include WV with a 50/50 split picking up that extra fee? No more commuter busses in Brunswick. That station in Brunswick, while nice (free parking) could have been planned out better and the big trucks with huge, long loads coming in/out of the parking lot don't help matters. Last night was a mess with two going through the parking lot area and the gate crossings not working properly. Add to the delays when traffic backs up on RT 340, especially on start of 3 day weekends and tourist season.

Major, I have come to the conclusion that you must have ate a slice of bitter life somewhere along the line. Perhaps you need a hug or a god ole fashioned butt whooping to snap out of it. I hope you find the sugar bowl someday and can provide positive dialogue.

OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif. - Two people suffered non-life threatening injuries after an avalanche occurred Sunday morning at Squaw Valley ski resort, officials said.
Three snowboarders triggered the in-bounds slide at 9:50 a.m. on a portion of the KT-22 peak, according to a statement from Squaw Valley Public Relations Manager Amelia Richmond.
A ski patroller riding the lift line, along with witnesses, "immediately" reported the slide, Richmond said, and several ski patrollers were on scene within one minute to aid both conscious skiers, neither of whom were buried by the snow.
One skier, a 39-year-old female, was transported and released from the resort's medical clinic, Richmond said, while the second skier, a 16-year-old male, was treated for a shoulder injury, and then transported to Tahoe Forest Hospital for further observation.
No one else was hurt in the incident, Richmond said.
"The resort immediately initiated a full search to confirm there were no additional people involved," said Richmond, adding that more than 100 staff and volunteers took part in the search.
Additionally, seven avalanche rescue dogs from Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows assisted in the search that ended at 11:50 a.m. once everyone on the KT-22 chairlift at the time of the slide was accounted for, she said.
"We would like to thank the Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows ski patrols and dog teams, as well as all of the volunteers for their quick and effective response," Richmond said.

Joan Benson-Cacchione: Pet peeves too much for me
My normally kindhearted boss did something distressing last week.
He showed me a photo of puppies. A sprawling pile of the pudgiest, fuzziest golden retrievers, heaped together and having a nap.
"Here's just the thing for you," he said, sliding the photo under my nose, his voice oozing syrupy sweetness.
"No!" I heard my normally mild-mannered self sputter, and immediately commenced tapping my red pen sharply on the credenza where I stood reading page proofs.
But of course I had to look. And of course they were lovely.
I've thought about getting another dog or cat since the last of our parade of family pets -- cats, fish, crickets, hermit crabs, a bird and an old, black Labrador retriever -- took her leave.
I also find reasons not to seek out more crazy (but lovable) critters. Especially the slobber-sharing type, whose skills include projectile shedding; projectile vomiting after ingesting foreign objects such as tissues fished out of the trash; and projectile vocalizing into the rafters of the house in the dead of night when a leaf so much as skitters down the street. No matter how many pet pictures my daughter retweets from @cuteemergency.
"Not ready!" I say when family members bring it up.
Well, it all came into focus for me that day my boss flashed the puppy pic. That's when, in an odd coincidence, a news release arrived on my desk from Camp Bow Wow.
Turns out February is Responsible Pet Owner Month, according to the pet-care franchise. In case I was unaware, the Bow Wow peeps wanted me to know that bringing a pet into my home "is a big commitment." And there are traits "the best" pet owners have. Maybe I lack them, I thought.
But I saw myself in all of them, including:
- Enjoys exercise: Yep, that was me, hurtling horizontally at the end of a leash, the moment our sporting-category dog glimpsed a squirrel while out on a walk.
- Good sense of time management: Yep, I'd get it right predicting it would take five minutes, standing with her in a freezing drizzle, for our discerning canine to commit to a piddle spot.
- Likes variety: Oh, the fish-anity I could just picture, when our then-7-year-old pitched her plan for a "minnow rescue program" to save all of the tiny fish then living in area waterways.
- Enjoys excitement: Ah, the thrill of a 7 a.m. crash of the fish bowl to the floor that the cat has just engineered.
- Optimistic outlook: Things could always be worse than that late-winter, snow-melt day when steaming brown piles pop up all over the yard.
No, I think February is a different kind of month. More like, Not This Month Month.
