The pattern I used for this dress is M6460. I was appreciating the Macaron dress pattern for so long but was intimidated by the shipment costs. to Turkey :)
Then I saw this pattern on McCall's and liked it even more than the macaron, with its fitted look and 4 available versions.

Manchester settles with federal civil rights agency over minority students in advanced courses
Superintendent Debra Livingston told the board that under the agreement with the OCR, the district would be collecting data and taking specific steps to reach out to minority students.
Alim Yai, a student at Manchester High School West, said families, particularly refugees and other immigrants, often don't know how to navigate high school and what comes after graduation.
"I feel pretty strongly about this," he said.
"My wife is Latino. She's originally from South America. She's never felt discriminated against by the Manchester School District, just the opposite. My children are of Latino descent. In fact, my daughter is in level 4 classes. She's going to be taking AP classes next year."

The invention discloses a method for customizing wallpaper designs that do not include repeating patterns, typical of prior art wallpaper. The method includes displaying copies of basic designs for wallpaper to customers for review and selection of designs. Each basic design consists of contiguous panel portions, one or more of which can be selected to provide a coherent subdesign. The customer then selects a wallpaper basic design and a subdesign of the selected basic design, which consists of a contiguous portion of the basic design and not the entire displayed basic design. A digital image of the selected basic design is modified by incorporating the subdesign selection to produce a customized digital image. Finally, the customized digital image is printed onto a suitable substrate for the wallpaper.
1. A method of providing customized wallpaper, the method comprising:
(a) displaying copies of basic designs for wallpaper on a medium suitable for customer viewing, each of the basic designs comprising contiguous panel portions, one or more contiguous panel portions being selectable by a customer, the basic designs not having repeating patterns, and customer-selectable portions of the basic designs providing coherent subdesigns;
(b) receiving wallpaper customizing information from a customer, the information comprising selection of at least one basic design and at least one coherent subdesign within the selected basic design;
(c) relaying the customizing information to a source for customizing an existing digital image of the selected basic design, the customizing comprising incorporating the subdesign selection to the digital image to produce a customized digital image; and
(d) printing the customized digital image onto a suitable medium for decorative use.

11. The method of
This is a continuation application of allowed application Ser. No. 09/479,273 filed Jan. 5, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,354,212 and titled METHOD OF PREPARING CUSTOMIZED WALLPAPER PANELS, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The invention relates to customized wallpaper, and methods for allowing customers to select a particular wallpaper design from a displayed selection, and to customize the design by adding personalized information. The method requires the use of a digital image of the basic design that is to be customized.
Among the variety of ways of decorating walls in both dwellings and commercial enterprises is the use of wall coverings, particularly wallpaper. The term �wallpaper� generally refers to rolls of sheets of a substrate onto which is printed a repeating pattern. The substrate is not limited to paper, but can be any other type of sheet onto which print can be applied, and that will adhere to a wall surface, such as vinyl sheeting.
While wallpaper sometimes provides a better aesthetic appearance than paint, wallpaper decorations are necessarily limited by the repeating patterns that are required to allow alignment of similarly patterned sheets of wallpaper side by side on a wall. This requirement that the wallpaper have a repeating pattern limits artistic expression and frequently reduces aesthetic appeal. In certain situations, it may be preferable to have a mural that does not have a repeating pattern, instead of wallpaper. However, mural paintings are prepared by skilled artists so that they are expensive.
There is yet a need for a type of wallpaper that does not have a repeating pattern, and that can be adapted for use on walls of different sizes. Desirably, the wallpaper should also allow a purchaser to customize the designs further by adding personal detailed touches, such as images of family members, and the like. It is further desirable that the customer should be able to select the wallpaper from a display, request custom modification, and receive the specially prepared wallpaper within a short space of time.
The invention provides customized wallpaper panels, that can be sold on rolls, for use as wall decoration.
In one embodiment, a vendor of customized wallpaper displays copies of basic designs for wallpaper on a medium, such as a book or video display unit, to customers for review and selection of designs. The basic designs do not include repeating patterns. Each of the basic designs consists of contiguous decorative panel portions. The customer then selects a wallpaper basic design and a subdesign of the selected basic design. A subdesign is a contiguous portion of the basic design, which consists of one or more contiguous panel portions to provide a coherent design, and not the entire displayed basic design. The vendor relays the customizing information, including selection of at least one basic design and a subdesign within the selected basic design, to a source for customizing an existing digital image of the basic design. The digital image is customized by incorporating the subdesign selection to produce a customized digital image. The customized digital image is then printed onto a suitable substrate for the wallpaper.
The wallpaper may comprise several rolls of sheets. Notwithstanding, when the sheets are properly aligned and adhered to the wall side by side in proper sequence, a complete design or scene is produced as in a mural painting, without need for the repeating pattern that is typical of prior art wallpaper.
The foregoing aspects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will become more readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an embodiment of the decorative wallpaper panels of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a schematic flow diagram of steps of an embodiment of a method in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 3A is a perspective view of an open book showing a schematic of customizable wallpaper panels for customer selection; and
FIG. 3B is a schematic diagram of a video display unit, displaying decorative wall panels in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
The invention provides customizable decorative wall panels, comprised of a thin sheet of paper, vinyl or other like substrate, which provides a coherent design not having a repeating pattern, when the sheets or panels of wallpaper are aligned side by side in the correct order. The decorative image or design may comprise, for example, a landscape, a cityscape, a still life, an abstract or any other design that is aesthetically pleasing or required for a particular purpose. Importantly, although the wallpaper does not include a repeating pattern that must be matched in side-by-side adhered sheets, as in prior art wallpapers, this does not preclude the invention's repetitive use of certain images, for example, images of a particular word, or a particular image. A commercial establishment may, for example, wish to intersperse its trademark at various points in the scene depicted in the wallpaper. However, the placement of these words or images, although they may be in a repetitive sequence, do not constitute the type of repetitive pattern that is necessary in prior art wallpapers to enable alignment of the papers to produce a coherent design on a wall.
In the specification and claims, a �digital image� refers to the type of image electronically stored by a computer, whether it be in random access memory, on a hard disk, or in any other storage medium known to be used by computers. The term �design,� when referring to the wallpaper of the invention, refers to a decoration that does not have a repeating pattern, which characterizes prior art wallpaper. The wallpaper may encompass any design, in much the same way that painted murals depict a wide variety of subject matter. The term �features personal to the customer� means those features that the customer selects either from an array of options presented by the party customizing the wallpaper for the customer, or that the customer provides on its own accord, to suit its own particular purposes. These features may include modifications to the basic designs shown (for example, modifying a scene to include additional persons; modifying the appearance of persons in the basic design; adding images of other people; modifying background scenery; modifying size and shape of certain objects in the design; modifying the color scheme; and countless other details of personal choice that may be applied to artwork for personal aesthetic satisfaction). In the specification and claims, the term �visual image� is used to distinguish from a �digital image.� The term �visual image� refers to the decorative design that is ultimately printed onto the customized wallpaper panels of the invention, and not to the digitized binary image in the computer or computer readable memory. In the specification and claims, the term �panels� does not refer to solid or hard panels such as wooden panels. Instead, the term �panels� refers to each of the separate strips of wallpaper that are necessary to complete a visual image in accordance with the invention, for example, the six panels shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 represents an embodiment of the invention. It depicts a series of six contiguous panels arranged in a particular order. The panels have an overall height (H) and each panel has an overall width (L). Typically, it is anticipated that H will be approximately 10 ft., to reach from the top to the bottom of a standard 10 ft. wall. Of course, as explained below, H may be any height, depending upon the height of the wall that a customer wants to cover. The width L of each panel is typically approximately 4 ft. However, narrower or wider panels may also be produced, depending upon both customer needs and the available widths in which substrate is supplied.
As indicated, each of the panels has an upper section 10 (about 2′ high), a middle section 20, and a lower section 30 (about 2′ high). In accordance with the invention, a coherent visual image with a non-repeating pattern covers all six panels and each of the upper, middle and lower sections of these panels to provide a complete picture. Notwithstanding, in accordance with the invention, a customer may select not to use the upper section 10 of each of the panels. The decorative visual image produced by middle section 20 and lower section 30 of each of the panels, when they are arranged in proper order, will yet produce a coherent and visually pleasing image. Similarly, the customer may elect not to use the lower portion 30 of each of the panels. In this circumstance, the upper sections 10 and middle sections 20 of the panels, when arranged in proper sequence, yet produce a coherent and visually pleasing image. Finally, a customer may elect to use only certain contiguous panels. For example, a customer may elect to use only panels 1-4 or 3-6. Under this circumstance, the contiguous panels selected, whether full panels or lacking upper or lower sections, yet produce a coherent and visually pleasing image, when arranged in proper sequence.
From the above explanation, it is apparent that a customer presented with display copies of basic designs in accordance with the invention would have a variety of options to customize the size and design of the wallpaper. When less than the full basic design displayed is selected, this design may be referred to as a �subdesign.� Thus, for example, if a customer were to select only panels 1-4, then this reduced-size design would be a �subdesign� of the full design of FIG. 1 that requires six panels. Likewise, if the customer were to select all six panels, without upper sections 10 or the lower sections 30, then this would also be referred to as a subdesign. Since the basic designs are digitized, a selected subdesign may be �blown up� to full size when a visual image is created for printing onto wallpaper substrates.
In accordance with the invention, initial basic designs are selected. These visual images do not have repeating patterns that are typical of prior art wallpaper, as explained above. Rather, they are more like murals, except that they are customizable. Referring to FIG. 2, a flow chart of the method in accordance with the invention, the initially selected basic designs are digitized 40. Samples of the digitized basic designs may be printed as visual designs on papers, books (see FIG. 3A), or boards or may be displayed at a Web site or a video display unit (see FIG. 3B) or in some other medium to enable potential customers to review the designs. The designs would be presented in visual format, with panels similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. A customer may then make a selection from the display designs 60. During customer selection, as explained above, the customer may select customizing details (�features personal to the customer�). An order for the specific design of wallpaper along with customizing information is then transmitted to a source for producing the wallpaper 70. At the source, the digital image is customized 80 to customer's satisfaction. If necessary, visual images of the customized digital image may be printed on a smaller format paper for customer review before printing the wallpaper.
The customized wallpaper may be printed with any of a variety of existing technologies. One example of such technology is �raster image processing�. In using this technique, the digital image is downloaded to a raster image processor which creates a mirror image of a visual design corresponding to the modified digital image on a substrate. The mirror image of the visual design is then transferred onto a suitable wallpaper substrate by heat lamination. A protective coating may optionally be applied over the printed design.
In an alternative printing method, printing includes modifying the digital image into a visual image, printing a reverse image of the visual image onto transfer paper, heat laminating the transfer paper image to a wallpaper substrate, applying a wet-transfer process to the combined transfer paper and wallpaper substrate sandwich, and finally removing the transfer paper and excess toner from the wallpaper substrate to produce a wallpaper with the printed customized image.
In a further alternative method, the customized design may be printed with an ink-jet printer directly onto the wallpaper substrate. The latter method is not preferred because the image produced is presently not as sharply defined as may be achieved with other printing techniques.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, it will be appreciated that various changes can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

|CD331 is expressed on fibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells. Wide expression is in adult and fetal tissues and over expressed in breast cancers.
|MOLECULAR FAMILY NAME: Belongs to the tyrosine kinase receptor family.
CD331 is a single-pass type 1 801 aa glycoprotein. It contains a 355 aa extracellular domain which contains of 3 Ig-like C2-type domains and 8 N-linked glycosylation sites, a 21 aa transmembrane domain and a 425 aa intracellular cytoplasmic domain which has 2 ATP binding sites and a 290 aa protein kinase domain that is split by a short insert. The 3 Ig-like C2-type domains (D1-D3), a stretch of residues in the linker connecting D1 and D2 known as the "acid box", a heparin binding site in D2. D2 and D3 form the primary binding pocket for fibroblast growth factor (FGF), whereas D1 and the acid box have an autoinhibitory role. Binding FGF induces dimerization of CD331 and results in a tetrameric complex. Essential cofactors associated with this complex are cell-surface heparin sulphate proteoglycans. CD331 interacting with FGF sets in motion a cascade of downstream signals, ultimately influencing mitogenesis and differentiation. It is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase that serves as a high affinity receptor for FGFs. FGFs are mitogens that can activate a number of intracellular signalling pathways and exert numerous effects depending on the target cell. The protein encoded by this gene, CD331, is a member of the FGFR family, where the amino acid sequence is highly conserved between members and throughout evolution.
Alternative splicing yields 18 different isoforms by RNA splicing. However, not all isoforms have been fully characterized but the most significance is the cell-type specific obligatory splicing that generates two forms of D3 with different FGF binding characteristics.
CD331 has 8 potential N-linked glycosylation sites. Dimerization promotes autophosphorylation in trans of critical tyrosines in the activation loop that stablizes the receptor in an active conformation and leads to in cis phosphorylation of tyrosine residues within the TK domain. Autophosphorylation of Tyr653 and Tyr654 is essential for the regulation of kinase activity. Intracellular phosphotyrosines serve as binding sites for signal transduction molecules such as SHC, FRS2 and phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ). Autophosphorylated Tyr66 is the binding site for PLCγ. Binding of CD331 and heparin promotes autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues and activation of the receptor.
CD331is a high affinity receptor for acidic and basic FGFs.
|CD331 serves as a high affinity receptor for fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). They are mitogens that can activate a number of intracellular signalling pathways and exert numerous effects depending on the target cell. The receptor proteins play a role in important processes such as cell division, regulation of cell growth and maturation, and formation of blood vessels.
BIOCHEMICAL ACTIVITY: No information.
This particular family member binds both acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors. The interaction between FGFs and FGFRs is very important in the development of the embryo and in wound healing. During development of the embryo, FGF-induced CD331-mediated signaling plays a critical role in morphogenesis by regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and migration. In adults, CD331 mediated signaling is involved in tissue repair and wound healing, tumor angiogenesis tumor growth. CD331 is involved in limb induction, cardiomyocyte and liver development. CD331 is thought to play an important role in the development of the nervous system. This protein may also help regulate the growth of long bones, such as large bones in arms and legs. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Pfeiffer syndrome, which is characterized by craniosynostosis sydrome (premature fusion of cranial structures) and broad thumbs and toes. CD331 is also associated with the Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Antley-Bixler syndrome, osteoglophonic dysplasia, stem cell leukemia lymphoma syndrome and autosomal dominant Kallmann syndrome 2. Chromosomal aberrations involving this gene are associated with stem cell myeloproliferative syndrome (EMS) disorder. EMS is characterized by eosinophilia, myeloid hyperplasia and lymphoblastic lymphoma. The FGF fusion proteins are constitutive tyrosine kinases that have transforming activity. CD331 is a potential target of tyrosine kinase inhibitors currently under development for use in the treatment of various cancers. Alterations in CD321 expression or translocation and fusion of FGF with other genes are associated with a variety of malignancies. Over-expression of CD331 is associated with breast cancer and astrocytomas whereas abnormal expression occurs in prostate cancer and pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
PROTEINS AND DNA ELEMENTS WHICH REGULATE TRANSCRIPTION OF CD331: No information.
SUBSTRATES: No information.
ENZYMES WHICH MODIFY CD331: No information.

Since the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year, several elementary teachers have asked me why so many of today's kids come to school with anxiety issues. That's a good question, one that I think goes to the heart of contemporary American parenting.
A preaching friend I knew in south Mississippi about a hundred years ago recently wrote about his summer vacations at his "Granddaddy and Mamaw's" house and the "neat" experience of having to get drinking water via the hand pump and dipper at the well. I wrote him and told him I could remember similar experiences at my dad's family farm in Indiana. The biggest differences, I guess, were the lack of a pump on the well. Grandpa used a bucket, rope and pulley to get the water up, though there was a hand pump attached to the kitchen ...
The local, as in Savannah, public radio station is off the air right now as a result of damage from a lightning storm. Without the voices of Steve Inskeep and David Greene and - since it's October and the Supreme Court is in session - Nina Totenberg igniting the pilot light of my brain, I have been left to entertain myself as I perform my morning ablutions. So I sing.
As a surgical oncologist focused on treating breast cancer, I see daily how devastating a breast cancer diagnosis can be. But I also see daily how new and often cutting-edge treatments give women the hope and courage they need to help manage or overcome the physical, mental and emotional challenges of breast cancer, and in many cases, beat the disease altogether.
A first-grade teacher asks what she can do about a girl in her class who is completely undisciplined. After nearly two months of this teacher's best efforts, the child's behavior is no better. She is defiant and aggressive toward other kids, and often gets out of her seat and crawls around on the floor. Several years ago she taught the girl's older sister, who also had numerous discipline issues. The home is chaotic, so the teacher doubts she can expect much - if any - help from the parents.
On my ride to work on the first day of October, I turned on the defrost in my car for the first time this year. When I got to work, I turned off my air conditioning, relishing in the cool, rainy temperatures outside. This season, I've already enjoyed a few weekend brunches on my screened-in back porch, easy like a Sunday morning. I'm always sad to see summer go, but the food of fall and the excitement of the holidays quickly propel me forward.
Our nation needs to get its fiscal house in order, and to do so citizens must fully demand leaders who are willing to put partisan differences aside and come together to present the American people with honest solutions and consensus proposals that put the national interest ahead of special interests. That is why we were so disheartened to learn that John Barrow is being criticized for his support of a budget based on the plan recommended in 2010 by a bipartisan majority of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform which we co-chaired (Simpson-Bowles Commission).
Tens of thousands of Georgians live with lifelong disabilities caused by brain and spinal cord injury. As medical technology, safety and trauma care have improved more people survive traumatic injury, but many then face a lifetime of physical, behavioral and cognitive impairments requiring ongoing support services. On any given day in communities all across Georgia, survivors of brain and spinal cord injury and their caregivers gather together in support groups to share the struggles they face living with these lifelong impairments. Astoundingly, there are over 75,800 newly injured Georgians each year, and close to 50 percent of those injuries ...
I love reading college textbooks. Well, that is an exaggeration, as math has few stories about killin' and drinkin' and pillagin', which are very good subjects for an active mind like mine. Anyway, I always ask my teaching friends if they happen to have some old used books that could be tossed my way. The fact is that most old textbooks are quite accurate. However, they do lack colorful pictures to break up the monotony of long and sometimes boring paragraphs. I have always wondered why many of my students ask if they could take my picture to have for ...

Q: My 7-year-old son does well in school and sports and has a good number of friends. However, he often allows himself to be intimidated by other boys. He is a rule-follower and is more worried about getting in trouble than defending himself. I worry that other boys will see him as easy to pick on. Occasionally, he complains about how other boys treat him. What words can I use with him to explain how to be confident in himself and his athletic abilities, and not allow himself to be intimidated by other boys?
Eclipses are slow. Which means there is plenty of time to notice the dew on my feet and the armadillo hole I may or may not be standing in, to hear a strange choral performance by the frogs in the branch that sounds like a rustling of the feathers of a giant flock of geese, to get just a little impatient and start staring at the stars instead, making up my own constellations.
The weather in the 'Boro seems bent on keeping us guessing. Is it a raincoat day? Sweater day? Or shorts-and-sunglasses day? But the gentle tease of recent cool weather lets us know fall truly is coming, eventually, maybe in December. Enjoy all that fall offers, regardless of the thermometer, and make this an incredibly awesome autumn with your family. Celebrate the usual - fair week, Columbus Day, football games, church fall festivals and trick-or-treat night - and add a few of the zany but real holidays below to the family calendar for October.
I've spoken at several conferences in the last year or so where presenters were opining on the subject of the teenage brain. Their thesis was that features of the so-called "teenage brain" are largely responsible for the self-centered, irrational, moody, rebellious behavior now associated with adolescence.
It's time once again for me to clarify my position on spanking. I arrived at this reluctant conclusion because twice in the last week, I've been informed that I believe in it - which is not exactly true.
(Note: The following is part of a series of articles looking at the history and evolution of agriculture in Georgia and Bulloch County.)
Again, recent temperatures belie the season, but it truly is the month of November in south Georgia. Whether warm or crisp, it's the season to be thankful for a bountiful harvest: the love of family and friends and all the memories both have provided throughout the year. Incorporate a spirit of thankfulness in every day with each event, feast or fellowship. Be grateful for the minutiae and the mighty, and enjoy the beauty of November with those you love.
I have had a certain amount of interest concerning John Forbes Nash Jr. ever since Julie and I saw the very loosely-based movie on his life, "A Beautiful Mind." I also liked the fact that he was born in Bluefield, West Virginia - only a hop, skip and jump from Huntington - and I could claim a certain amount of kinship. The man was a mathematical genius, a schizophrenic and pretty odd. I do not claim any of what I just wrote as kinship. His basic theory was, "any abstract Riemannian manifold can be isometrically realized as a submanifold of Euclidean space."

Category: Jewish baby names
To commemorate the Feast of Purim this weekend and the other major Jewish holidays coming up on the calendar, we turned to Israel-resident Hannah Katsman for an overview of current trends in Israeli baby names.
When Israelis are choosing names for their babies, they tend to focus on meaning as much as the sound of the name. And even though Israel has become more westernized, most parents continue to choose Hebrew names.
It's true that most traditional biblical names like Rivka (Rebecca) and Moshe (Moses) cannot be considered trendy except in the most religious circles. Yiddish and other ethnic names are out, as are the feminization of biblical names like Israela, Raphaela and Shimona or Simona–though Gavriella is one that is coming back.
The most popular Israeli baby names are short, rarely over two syllables, and they are often unisex.
There are differences among the various Jewish communities in Israel, with some names found only in secular communities and others only in religious ones. Secular Israelis don't usually give middle names, while religious ones do. They might choose a modern name for the first name, and a more traditional one for the second name, after a relative.
Trends in Israeli baby names include nature, weather words (boy—Sa'ar, storm), and Israeli place names (unisex—Yarden, Jordan). Other popular themes are water (unisex—Agam, lake), light, music (unisex—Tzlil, note), animals, and angels like Uriel. A few biblical names have made a comeback or stayed in style, including Daniel (unisex), Noa (girl), Rachel (girl), and Assaf (boy).
Most of us are familiar with the names of at least a few angels—after all, archangels Michael and Gabriel and to a lesser extent Raphael, have had widespread and long-lasting popularity over the years.
But there is a profusion of other angelic creatures whose names are not as well known. Thought of as messengers of light, angels are seen as reflecting God's radiance. There are Biblical angels, seraphim and cherubs, and guardian angels who oversee various days, months, Zodiac signs, natural elements and virtues. There are angels in Persian and other Eastern religions and mythologies, and angels in works of fiction.
Then of course there is the whole family of straightforward Angel names–Angela, Angelica, Angelo, et al, that mean 'angel' or 'messenger'; Evangeline, whose meaning, 'good messenger' relates to angel, and Seraphina, which is derived from the word seraphim.
Here, from various sources are 25 angel names worth considering:
- Abraxos – ancient name attributed to an angel
- Arael – angel of birds
- Cael –an angel ruling over the Zodiac sign of Cancer
- Calliel — a throne angel invoked to bring prompt help over adversity
- Charoum – angel of silence
- Dabria – one of five angels who transcribed the books that the Hebrew prophet Ezra dictated
- Dara – angel of rains and rivers in Persian mythology
- Dina – guardian angel of learning and wisdom
- Ezriel—an angel's name discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls.
- Hariel — the archangel who rules over December, the dawn and Capricorn; also the angel of tame animals and ruler of science and the arts
- Irin – the name of twin angels who constitute the supreme judgment of the heavenly court
- Janiel – angel ruling Tuesday and the east wind
- Javan – the guardian angel of Greece
- Kemuel – chief of the seraphim who stands at the window of heaven
- Laila, Lailah, Layla –the angel of conception who oversees and protects childbirth
- Nabu – a recording angel in heaven
- Nitika – Native American name meaning angel of precious stones
- Rabia – one of the ten angels accompanying the sun on its daily course
- Rachiel – angel who rules Venus and governs sexuality
- Raziel – an archangel who guards the secrets of the universe, the angel of mysteries
- Sarea – another of the five angels who transcribed the books the prophet Ezra dictated
- Tariel—the angel of summer
- Uriel – angel of the month of September, of those born under the signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn; an angel of creativity
- Yael/Jael – a cherub who attends the throne of God
- Zaniel – angel who rules Mondays and the sign of Libra
Do you have a favorite angel name of your own?
Guest blogger Hilary Zalon, founder of thecradle.com, explains the modern tradition of the Jewish naming ceremony for girls.
I have two wonderful daughters. And while I was never averse to having a little boy, I'm relieved that I was able to skip the Jewish ritual to welcome a son. In fact, the relatively new Jewish ceremony to welcome a daughter is much more up my alley.
If you're not Jewish, or aren't familiar with these traditions, here's a quick 101: The male ceremony is a 'brit milah' – also known as a bris - the ceremony for circumcising an eight-day-old boy. The female ceremony goes by a number of names, including 'simchat bat' (rejoicing of the daughter), all to celebrate…get this…naming your daughter!
No sharp implements. No rush to get a party together in eight days while recovering from the actual delivery of the baby. And we get to celebrate one of the most enjoyable parts of welcoming a baby – choosing a name. In this instance, we're celebrating the Hebrew name, so we get to pick even more names!
Many refer to a baby naming as a "modern" or "contemporary" tradition, and while there are signs that baby naming rituals happened hundreds of years ago, it really became a more recognized option for parents in the '70's (likely coinciding with the rise of feminism and the increase in bat-mitzvahs). Since it is so new (forty years is nothing when you're dealing with a history that's over 5,000 years old), it is still up to personal interpretation and the ceremony can really represent your family's personality and style.
We're not a very religious family, but we do have a strong pride in our heritage and our Jewish community. For both of our daughters, we waited until they were 9-10 months old, which is probably a lot longer than most people wait. Some parents have a naming ceremony just eight days after the birth (echoing the male circumcision ritual). Others say a blessing for their daughter when they are called to the Torah – sometimes as early as the first Sabbath after the birth.
At our event, the rabbi led a very simple and beautiful ceremony at our home, which included a welcome prayer, description of the ceremony, an explanation of the names we chose, a blessing for our daughter, and a blessing for everyone. As with most of our Jewish traditions, there is wine and food. Those two are always a hit. (Although finding good bagels in L.A. is still a struggle.)
As for the names we chose:
Our older daughter's given name is Sasha Leah (honoring my grandmother, Sylvia, and my husband's grandmother, Leah). The Hebrew name is traditionally the Hebrew name of the person she is named for. Since my grandmother didn't have a Hebrew name that was meaningful to her, we were able to choose a name that was actually a second-runner up to her given name. And her middle name was a no-brainer since her given middle name is already a Hebrew name. She received her Hebrew name, Sivan Leah, right after my dad joked, "Anyone want a slice of Sivan Leah cake?"
Our younger daughter is Esmé Juliette (for my grandmother, Eva, and my husband's grandfather, Jack). Ever since I read JD Salinger's Nine Stories in school, I was stuck on the name Esmé – but I hadn't read or seen any of the Twilight books or movies, so when I learned about the character named Esmé, my heart sank a bit – only out of a little sadness that this 'secret' gem of a name (actually popular in South Africa and a few European companies) might become more well known! Her Hebrew name, Chava Yael, was another half-given: Chava is the Hebrew name for Eva/Eve. But since her middle name was for a male, we felt we could choose any name we liked that started with a Y (the Hebrew alphabet doesn't use J's). We were able to avoid my father's imminent joke that her middle name should be 'Piece-a' so his granddaughters could be 'Chava Piece-a Sivan Leah' cake.
Hilary Zalon founded TheCradle.com, an award-winning online resource for expectant and new parents. Since the sale of the site to giggle, Hilary has been exploring a number of different ventures, her favorite being enjoying more time with her daughters and husband.

Yiddish names have a rich history, rooted in an older generation of Jewish people belonging to the Ashkenazic (from Germany and Eastern Europe) community. The Yiddish language evolved during medieval times from High German (influenced by Hebrew and some eastern European languages), and the word "Yiddish" itself literally means "Jewish." Genealogists familiar with old U.S. Federal Census records will have noticed many a census record where the census taker recorded an immigrant's language as being "Jewish" when it more properly should have been recorded as "Yiddish."
While many fondly associate Yiddish names with their beloved grandparents and great-grandparents, Yiddish is nonetheless making a comeback. California's San Francisco Bay area is home to Der Bay, a widely circulated Anglo-Yiddish newsletter of events, and such movies as Fiddler on the Roof and the animated An American Tail (both featuring Yiddish-named characters) are fondly familiar to mainstream America.
Accounting for the many spelling variations of Yiddish names is the fact that Yiddish is a language written in Hebrew letters, which then may be transliterated into the letters of the Roman alphabet for English language readers and speakers. In Yiddish names, "creative spellings" (a frequent complaint on Internet baby name discussion boards) are not only common, but necessary!
Here are some Yiddish names (with their variations) worth considering:
BIELKA, BIELKE — "beautiful, white."
BLIMA, BLUMA — "flower."
BREINDEL –"brunette."
CHANI– derived from Chanah, Hannah, mother of the prophet Samuel in the Bible.
DAVRUSHA –" form of Deborah, the Biblical prophetess and judge.
FREIDEL– "joy."
HINDA, HINDE — "hind, doe."
HODEL — form of Hadassah, the Hebrew name of the heroine Esther in the Bible.
KAILA, KAYLA, KEILA — possibly from the Hebrew Kelila: "crown."
One of the greatest gifts you can give your child is an ancestral name, one that forms a strong link to his or her past, and more and more parents today are searching and researching their family trees to find names that have personal significance as well as style. And with genealogical websites like ancestry.com, it's now possible to dig deeper into the roots of the tree to find forgotten nuggets, maybe an unusual middle name of a great-grandmother, or an interesting maiden name that could work as a first.
Using the name of a living or fondly remembered relative has the satisfying benefit of conveying the essence of that loved one, in the hope of bestowing their admirable qualities on your child. But even with a more distant forebear whom you might not have known, family stories of that person's achievements can come alive again through the name, providing your child with an immediate and precious legacy.
I myself have not been able to trace my family history back more than a few generations, and for the most part the names reflect the Jewish immigrant experience: the expected Sarahs, Samuels (many), Sols and Sauls, Rachels, and Rebeccas, but there were a couple of more unusual, untranslated from the Yiddish, exceptions:
NAHOMA (called Nelly)
From my husband's more mixed background (English/Guernsey French), we've found:
LOL (male, probably a nickname for LIONEL — in the days before laugh out loud)
I've used my father's name Sam as the inspiration for daughter Chloe's middle name Samantha, and Pam has incorporated one male ancestor of hers (a grandfather's middle– Owen) and one of her husband's (Leopold, which became the middle name of son Joe).
On the Name Talk forums you have already posted some wonderful family names of your own. (unicorngal put together a fascinating compendium a few months ago at http://nameberry.com/nametalk/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2690&hilit=ancestor), including such gems as :
But I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg (to further mix my metaphors), which led me to think of this as a perfect crowd-sourced blog topic.
So let's hear your own favorites from your family tree. Have you incorporated them into your child's name? Do you plan to in the future? Does you family have any particular naming traditions?

Defense Management:
Overarching Organizational Framework Could Improve DOD's Management of Energy Reduction Efforts for Military Operations

The Department of Defense (DOD) is the single largest U.S. energy consumer. About three-fourths of its total consumption consists of mobility energy--the energy required for moving and sustaining its forces and weapons platforms for military operations. GAO was asked to discuss DOD's efforts to manage and reduce its mobility energy demand. This testimony addresses (1) energy issues that are likely to affect DOD in the future, (2) key departmental and military service efforts to reduce demand for mobility energy, and (3) DOD's management approach to guide and oversee these efforts. This testimony is based primarily on work conducted for a report that GAO issued today (GAO-08-426) on DOD's management of mobility energy.
Several issues, such as rising fuel costs, worldwide energy demand, and the high fuel burden during operations, underscore the importance of energy to DOD. Fuel costs for DOD are substantial and the volatility of world oil prices will likely continue to affect the department--which may require DOD to make difficult trade-offs such as redirecting funds from ongoing programs to pay for needed fuel. Other energy issues that are likely to affect DOD in the future are the increased U.S. dependence on foreign oil, projected increases in the worldwide demand for oil, and uncertainties about world oil supplies. Furthermore, DOD's high fuel requirements on the battlefield can place a significant logistics burden on military forces, limit the range and pace of operations, and add to mission risks, including exposing supply convoys to attack. Given these issues, DOD must be well positioned to effectively manage energy demands for military operations. DOD has initiatives under way to reduce mobility energy demand. At the department level, OSD created a task force to address energy security concerns. In addition, the Deputy Secretary of Defense included energy in DOD's list of the top 25 transformational priorities for the department as part of its initiative to pursue targeted acquisition reforms. Each of the military services also has its own initiatives under way. The Army is addressing fuel consumption at forward-deployed locations by developing foam-insulated tents and temporary dome structures that are more efficient to heat and cool, reducing the demand for fuel-powered generators. The Navy has established an energy conservation program to encourage ships to reduce energy consumption. The Air Force has developed an energy strategy and undertaken initiatives to determine fuel-efficient flight routes, reduce the weight on aircraft, optimize air refueling, and improve the efficiency of ground operations. The Marine Corps has initiated research and development efforts to develop alternative power sources, such as hybrid power, and improve fuel management. While these and other mobility energy reduction efforts are under way, DOD lacks elements of an overarching organizational framework to guide and oversee these efforts. Specifically, GAO found that DOD's current approach to mobility energy lacks (1) a single executive-level OSD official who is accountable for mobility energy matters, (2) a comprehensive strategic plan for mobility energy, and (3) an effective mechanism to provide for communication and coordination of mobility energy efforts among OSD and the military services as well as leadership and accountability over each military service's efforts. GAO also found that DOD has made limited progress in incorporating fuel efficiency as a consideration in key business processes--which include developing requirements for and acquiring new weapons systems. With a mobility energy overarching organizational framework in place, DOD would be better positioned to reduce its significant reliance on petroleum-based fuel and to address the energy challenges of the 21st century.

So having in recent weeks subjected my wife to "Snowpiercer" ("What kind of train has an aquarium and a nightclub in it?") and "Ender's Game" ("All I've figured out so far is it's a bunch of kids playing video games."), I decided we needed something she might actually pay attention to. Enter "Just Like Heaven", AKA the romantic comedy where the ghost of Tracy Flick meets the Incredible Hulk, with an assist from Napoleon Dynamite. Or something like that.
Teaser Tuesday 11/4/2014: "Lore of The Witch World"
So this week, having ditched two other free books — one just for being poorly written, another for having a Too Dumb To Live protagonist (seriously, after the second or third time you ignore explicit instructions to stay on the path and not to talk to the monsters, you deserve whatever you get) — I've picked up Lore of the Witch World, an anthology of stories plus a novelette by Andre Norton.

Kabir's POV
It had been 96 hours...4 days... and nothing. Proximity had meant nothing, since he couldn't reach out to her or her to him. He could only guess as to what was happening next door, but here he was unable to do anything, all due to the promise Daadi had exacted from him. A promise that had achieved nothing other than to reinforce the fact that Rachna was facing only God knew what without him beside her; where he should have been during this time. Cursing the position he found himself in, he jerked open his laptop thinking that scanning through the emails that had to have amassed over the last few days would pass the time until he could ..."What the Hell?"
" ...therefore, as the final step of Miss Rachna Garg's application to enter our student exchange program for the upcoming semester, we respectfully request the completion the attached recommendation form on or before..."
Kabir grabbed his mobile, all thought of his promise gone, Rachna, if nothing else owed him an explanation for this madness.
Rachna's POV
Had it only been 4 days? Oh God, she had known that it would be bad, but how could her life have changed so drastically in just 96 hours? Other than the ability to reverse time, leaving would be the only way she could bring pause to the disaster that loomed ahead.
After Leaving KT's home, and under the pretext of being unwell, Rachna had been ushered to her bedroom and on closing the door her Mother had unleashed her fury and more so her disappointment in her. She had borne it all, every accusation, Liar, Untrustworthy, Shameless; had felt that she had no defense against any of them. Only when the charge of taking advantage of her was levelled against KT, had she responded, never would she allow anyone to doubt his character, not even her mother. But no explanation would do, not that he loved her and she, him nor that she had been the one who had insisted keeping their relationship a secret had mattered, nothing would allay her Mother's distress that evening.
She could have easily accepted not seeing him, the fact that she would need to leave her job, but not what would come next. That the next day only worsened the situation made Rachna feel as if destiny itself had turned against her.
"She watched me praying and decided that I was the perfect match for her son? Who does that, and for heaven's sake what would make Aunt Seema encourage her, a practical stranger? No...no this is not happening, not now...please God not now, please show me a way out of this"
So the arrival of the email had seemed a message from heaven itself: Student Exchange Program with UK University, subject areas as follows ... Could this be the reprieve she desperately sought?
The third day had proved no better, as if all of a sudden everyone had been ready to give her away, this unexpected marriage offer was seriously being considered. Trying to reach out to her mother had proved futile, the pain of betraying of her trust was still evident in her eyes, yet still Rachna had felt relief that Papa hadn't been told what had happened. Perhaps her mother had not forgiven her, but Rachna knew then that neither had she been forsaken.
Decisions had been taken by day 4 and it seemed that Rachna's only hope was to delay...but by now, she had felt that she was in this battle alone, even Gunjan had been against her plan. Their exchange had been heated, and in Rachna's opinion a waste of time, as there had just been no other option.
"Rachna, you are being too hasty, at least..."
"At least what, can't you see there's no time to wait, if I wait..."
"But you should at least discuss it with Kabir"
"No! I'm the cause of this, and I need to resolve this. Besides do you see him, have you heard from him, because I certainly haven't! "
"Rachna, that's not fair..."
"Well right now my life isn't fair, but Gunjan please, please understand, I need to fix this. If not for my decisions, my lies, none of this would have happened, If I hadn't been such a coward... oh what now... Hello, Hello... Oh God even this stupid phone isn't working!"
"Rachna, please you have to reconsider, you can't just leave."
"Nay Gunjan, none of this should have happened, so I can't stay. Do you really expect me to stay for a marriage I don't want? How can you of all people ask this of me?"

How good is the blower?
firelikeiya ( 79 ) Jul. 22, 2013 at 9:47pm
So I don't have to go through 393 posts about the trimmer, battery life, how handy battery operated tools are etc ... anybody own this? How good is the blower?
illuminati ( 363 ) Jul. 22, 2013 at 9:53pm
Deader than a hop scotch coffee making giraffe.
Have had this kit for over a year, bought new off amazon. Works great. The trimmer is awesome, especially how you can pivot the head for edging along sidewalks and such as my HOA requires. I would recommend a more agressive trimmer line however after you use up what it comes with. Cyclone .065 inch commercial grade 6 blade line works great.
The blower is not a high powered leaf blower, it's an electric sweeper, so it will blow the grass and light debris off your drive/walk ways after you're done mowing and trimming. It would handle dry leaves and such in reasonable volume in your yard, but don't expect to it to clear your yard of leaves in the fall.
As far as additional batteries there is B&D drill that runs on the same one, which you can pick up on the refurb sales with a battery for almost the same price as the battery alone. I'd go that route if you need more batteries for a bigger yard as you get an additional charger as well. The drill is good for basic household stuff and pretty compact.

As with my pecan pie and lemon pie; this pie is crustless. Those of you who have a penchant for pumpkinpumpkin pies with decadent crusts - my profound apologies. You could try pouring this blend into a prepared crust in order to satisfy your culinary sensibilities. Beyond that - my suggestion would be to look elsewhere at some of the other fantastic pumpkin piepumpkin pie recipes out there. But those of you who want to whip up a pumpkin pie that is ridiculously quick and easy, with a gorgeous creamy texture, and then move onto other things - give this a turn in your blender. I served this up to some of my most discerning pigs a few weeks ago, and everyone commented on how fantastic the texture was; as well as the delicious flavour.

Google news has taken steps to prevent non-Google apps accessing and re-formatting their news, resulting in the very useful application GoogleGet becoming useless. Its writer has officially stopped the project.
"GoogleGet is no longer available for download and unfortunately none of the previous versions will work with the current Google News website.
The reason for this is pretty simple. During March 2004 Google made some changes to their servers that basically try to prevent non-browser software from downloading pages. I asked Google about this and they pointed me towards the terms of service that apply to that information, specifically part 3. This denies users the permission to reformat news information, or re-display it elsewhere. So, in respect of this I've decided to leave GooglGet behind."
