Not Ready for Full Cloud? Subscribe to Any CC App for $9-19/Month
With the increasing popularity of Adobe's Creative Cloud and the release of the new "CC" versions of creative applications replacing Creative Suite, some readers are telling us they're not sure if they need all the tools that are included in the Cloud offering, or aren't quite ready to join for US$49 a month…
Typically in these cases customers believe their only two choices are between purchasing 2012's CS6 in the traditional way vs. the Creative Cloud. (And yes, you can still buy all of the CS6 products with perpetual licensing direct from Adobe if that's what you prefer, because the company is continuing to sell Creative Suite 6 for those who want it.)
And fortunately now there is a third option – though this is still not known by many people. There is another choice between paying $700-$1000 for Photoshop CS6, and signing on for the complete Creative Cloud…
The third route is called a Single-App Membership plan – also known as a single-tool subscription. This plan gives you full access to the very latest version of any single Adobe creative application for just $9-19 a month – including InDesign CC, Illustrator CC, Dreamweaver CC, Muse CC, Premiere Pro CC, or any of the others.
One of the most attractive offerings is the special Photoshop Photography Plan where for the regular price of only $9.99/month you can get both Photoshop CC plus Lightroom 5 and Lightroom Mobile, together with the other benefits described below.
Importantly, these CC programs do not run online or "in the cloud" – your single-app membership lets you download and install the software directly on your own computer desktop, providing you all the features and functionality of that Creative Suite products have in the past. Included with the plan you also get a free sign-up with the Creative Cloud, as well as 20GB of online storage and the ability to sync and share your work on virtually any device, as well as a customized online portfolio with Behance ProSite, letting you publish your work to the world's leading creative community.
Recently Adobe also added access to the entire Typekit library of fonts for use in desktop applications and websites (an over $25,000 value if purchased traditionally), at no extra cost for all single-app subscribers except the Photography Plan.
You can run the new CC software on up to two of your computers, including both a PC and a Mac. You can even still download and use the older CS6 version of the tool if you want to (in addition to this year's CC release) on the same system(s). For more than two machines, a multiple user edition of the single-app membership is available via the Creative Cloud for Teams plan.
The single-app option is available worldwide, making these tools more affordable to everyone without the large upfront cost… The best news is all major new releases plus ongoing upgrades are included and are immediately available for you to download and use as a member at no additional cost – there's no more waiting or wondering or paying extra to upgrade! You can always be running the best and most current version (like Photoshop CC with its newly-added Generator functionality or the 3D printing and Perspective Warp features), and be your most productive.
There are both annual and month-to-month plans for increased flexibility. The month-by-month option costs more, but you can stop and start access as needed. So if there's a period of time where you won't need to use the software, you can simply turn it off and pay nothing – then reactivate when you want to run it again, without needing to reinstall.
Generally, the math works out pretty attractively – for example, instead of needing to come up with $1000 for a static version of After Effects CS6, you can get over four years of the latest and most powerful releases of After Effects (today's CC and beyond) with the annual plan.
15 different Adobe applications are now offered this way – see the complete list of products you can get. And if you want to upgrade from a single app to the full Creative Cloud down the line, that's no problem as Adobe will credit your account for your unused amount.
All of the standard CC free trials can also be converted to single-app memberships without reinstalling the software. And if for some reason you should decide within 30 days of joining that it's not for you, you can easily cancel for a full refund.
Do you have any questions about Adobe's single-app subscription editions, or CC in general? Just ask them below and we'll get you answers fast!

My personal opinion is that plans do not have sense. A single tool like Photoshop should be $10-12, and $20 they should charge for Design Standard for example.
Hey there Bojan, thanks for your thoughts and good to see you again. At this time Adobe decided not to offer price points that are in between a single tool and the full Cloud (e.g., like a suite edition), but it might be something they could consider in the future.
No guarantees of course, but we think it's more likely they'll continue to reduce prices generally on all memberships over time, and that is what's happened so far in recent years… So it's possible you may eventually get your wish.
Question about the cloud… An Adobe guy on campus said that you just load it to your computer and you didn't need to have the internet up when you use it, but a friend of mine who has subscribed to the cloud said that she can't use hers when her internet is out. So what's the truth? Is there something wrong with my friend's cloud/computer, or did the Adobe guy tell me wrong? I'm concerned that if I go with the cloud when I upgrade that I'm going to be messed up. I don't always connect to the web when I'm working on Photoshop.
Hi Debi, thanks for your question. The Adobe guy on your campus is right, it's no problem… This article should help clear it up – see Myth #2:
The 10 Most Common Myths About Adobe's Creative Cloud
Hope that answers it and if you have any further questions, feel free to just post back.
PS – Note that if you're a student or teacher then you can do even better than the Single-App Subscription that's described here for $19.99 a month – you can get the entire Creative Cloud for the same price!
I have always purchased new versions of Photoshop and Lightroom as they became available. I don't see pricing for joining Adobe Cloud for just those two specific programs. Is there an option for that?
I know Adobe wants to move everything to the cloud, but freezing out customers who have always purchased the boxed versions (as far as new features are concerned) seems unfair… makes good business sense, but is rather ruthless. Obviously their strategy is working, since I am considering going cloud.
Welcome Isabelle, with Adobe's Single-App Membership option, the latest version of Photoshop (CS6 or upcoming CS7) is available by itself (standalone) for $19.99 a month – and this will include all updates and upgrades.
Lightroom (either LR4 or the new LR5) is part of the Creative Cloud – but is not included in any individual tool offer, probably because it is lower cost and can more easily be purchased separately.
So in your case, you could just buy Lightroom outright and then get a Photoshop subscription – and then you'd be set, if those were the only two applications you need or would ever like to use.
Thanks, PD. One last question before I take the plunge. I would like to keep the purchased versions I have on my computer now which require no regular verification with Adobe. How would that work?
Thank you for the information you provide–until I read your Myths post, I was pretty sure the Cloud wasn't for me.
Sure Isabelle, glad to help. You can have the Creative Cloud or a single-tool subscription installed together with older/traditional versions on the same machine – see more details here:
How many computers, platforms, and/or languages can I run on?
Why is it an e-mail I just received today (5/14/2013) says I can get Photoshop CS6 on the cloud for $10.00, but when I go to your site it says $19.95
Hey Jim, the normal price is $19.99 – but Adobe is currently running a special promotion where you can now download and use Photoshop CS6 (and soon Photoshop CC) for $9.99 a month if you own any previous CS tool or suite going back to CS3…
Currently I run under a CC Single App Photoshop one-year plan. I would like to change my single app to a team subscription.
My question: Do I need to be a real company, or may I subscribe to "Team" as a hobbyist without any issue?
One more: May I enjoy a "Team" subscription with just with my son?
Greetings Deana, anyone at all can join Creative Cloud for Teams – you don't have to be a "real" business or company at all to get those extra benefits… just a customer with multiple persons.
And the users of your CC for Teams license can be anyone you would like to flexibly give access to, either internal to your network or external anywhere in the world.
You can also upgrade your existing plan over to a new one and Adobe will credit your account.
Is the CS6 version of Photoshop (single app subscription) the Extended edition? ♫
Yes Isabelle – starting with the new "CC" release which will be shipping in mid-June, the version of Photoshop that all subscribers get with a single-tool membership is the complete Photoshop CC Extended edition.
See more details here:
If I opt to subscribe to Photoshop CS6 as a single application for $19.99 per month, then use it to process my photos, and then decide to drop it after a year or so, how will I be able to use my PS-CS6-processed images which have been saved using the subscription version – particularly if I save the processed images in .PSD or .DNG formats?
My second question: Will Adobe still be offering a stand-alone perpetually licensed version of Photoshop CS-Whatever in addition to the CC version? Your mention of CS7 seems to suggest that.
Hey there Fraunt, to answer your questions:
If you want you can save your images as .TIFF or other formats – plus other applications can read .PSD and .DNG files, including many third-party tools…
(What many folks don't realize is that Photoshop's .PSD is actually a published and openly-available file format.)
What's more, Adobe is working on solutions for ongoing access to your files with their tools, even after a CC subscription is canceled – see:
Our Move to Creative Cloud: An Update
Regarding perpetual licenses, it turns out there won't be a CS7 but Adobe has said they will continue to sell and support CS6 indefinitely – and that Photoshop CC is able to save back or export files to Photoshop CS6.
For more details:
Hello, I currently have a single-app subscription to InDesign. Can I change it over to a different app like Illustrator if I want?
Yes Barbara, you should be able to switch your single-tool membership to another, different CC app. First, just buy a second subscription (the one you want), and then cancel the first one… Adobe will waive any cancellation fees.
See this help thread for more information.
HI, I currently use the old Pagemaker 5 program to make catalogs for our small family business, i only work with black and white images and our catalogs average around 180 pages each, with an index and front and back covers. We are considering updating our software, is InDesign what we need? I need something that is easy to use as i have no formal graphic design training….
Yes Kate, that's right – Adobe discontinued development of PageMaker in 2004; the last release then was PageMaker 7.
Moving to InDesign would be the recommended upgrade path, and as described in the article above, you can just get InDesign CC by itself with an individual app membership. Ongoing product upgrades are included, so you could always be running the latest release.
For more details on making the migration, see this InDesign Conversion Guide for PageMaker users.
Hope that helps!
I need Dreamweaver CS6 to complete a school project, but I do not see any options for a trial or rental. I am aware that everything is being moved to the cloud, but I have been told that if I build the site on the cloud, it will not react as it should in CS6. I need to present in CS6. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi Alisha, you seem to have been told some misconceptions on what the Creative Cloud is… Please read this first before doing anything else:
The 10 Most Common Myths About Adobe's Creative Cloud
So as you can see, the new CC 2014 release is really just a collection of the most recent versions of Adobe's leading desktop applications (Dreamweaver included). The software itself does not run "in the cloud."
In other words, it reacts the same as CS6 – but better actually because it is an improved version with newer features and faster performance. So generally, it does everything CS6 does and more – plus you get all ongoing upgrades included. The major difference is it is sold via subscription instead of via a traditional or perpetual product license.
That said, regarding CS6 (which was released in 2012) – Adobe does still offer it for sale if you still want that version instead, and the downloadable CS6 free trials are also still available.
This chart may help you decide which to get:
Compare Your Options: Creative Cloud (CC) vs. Creative Suite (CS6)
How long do you have to pay until you have paid off the full price? Or do you continue paying the amount a month for however long of a time you want to use it? My question: is there a cut off limit or do you have to continue to pay each month?
It's the latter. However on the flip side, you have very low upfront costs vs. the old model of having to come up with many hundreds or even thousands of dollars just to get in the door, not even counting upgrades.
This guide will give you more details and help you compare the pros & cons:
Compare Your Options: Creative Cloud (CC) vs. Creative Suite (CS6)
my question is : what are the applications in the complete choice ?
does it have Photoshop – Lightroom – Illustrator?
those are important applications for me
Yes Turki, those three desktop apps you mentioned are definitely in there… For more details, see:
What Tools & Services Are Included in the Complete Creative Cloud?
Good day,
I have recently purchased the Canon 7D Mark 2. I have spent more time learning that CS5 and LR 4 don't support the RAW format of my new camera than actually using the camera. Will the latest PS and LR support the new RAW format or is that waiting for and upgrade?
One more question, I have a number of Topaz filters, will they load automatically for full function?
Thank you
Hello Waynis, support for the Canon EOS 7D Mark II was added to Adobe Camera Raw 8.7 and Lightroom 5.7, which were both released last month…
So yes, upgrading your software to the latest versions (like with the $9.99 Photography Plan) would definitely support that and other recent cameras.
We should add too that Adobe provides free ongoing camera compatibility for older versions of all Photoshop & Lightroom products via the DNG Converter utility.
What does that mean? Well, you can also use the free Adobe DNG Converter for support of the 7D Mark II (or any other available camera) in prior tools like CS5 or LR4.
Otherwise as mentioned, all current software releases support this new camera natively.
Finally, on your question about third-party plug-ins or filters for Photoshop – we would expect so, but you'd need to check with the manufacturer to confirm full compatibility and requirements.
Hope that answers all your questions, if not then just post back!

Sue Simmons, Candid in Rare Interview, 'Came Within Two Weeks of Being in a Wheelchair'
There are broadcasting legends, and there is Sue Simmons. FishbowlNY caught up with the iconic anchorwoman for a rare one-on-one interview, as she was being named a Black Media Legend at the Plaza Hotel Friday.
Simmons left WNBC in June after more than three decades at the anchor desk. Three months earlier, word broke on what many considered an unthinkable story—Simmons would not get a contract extension.
Related: FishbowlNY, Sue Simmons Ends Historic Run at WNBC
"I already knew my contract was up and I got threatened with suspension," Simmons says. "I didn't say a word until after I left."
Once Simmons' future status was published it caused her nothing but angst.
"The last several months from March to June was pretty much a nightmare for me," Simmons admits. "Because after you've worked with your teams and your friends for that long it's very difficult to come to terms with the fact that it's not going to be anymore."
Simmons adds that there was no bitterness as she began the "farewell tour" at WNBC.
"How would you complain about 32 years at one job, in television, in New York City, and being part of the longest running anchor team in New York's history?"

Perfect Setup for Fedora 6?
First off, I'm impressed by the superb quality of the 'Perfect' guide I've used (OpenSuSE 10.2). This is almost obsessively flawless :-)
Q: how different is Fedora 6 (32 - it's a Dual Core box) from 5 (64?) re. your 'Perfect' guide? I've built a 'perfect' box on OpenSuSE but it appears my feeble skills can't bridge the gap between what is needed to get LedgerSMB installed and the fact that their instructions, well, um, are at the other end of the scale from yours :-). Oh, and I'll have to add Samba to it for printing, but if I find how to make it act like a NAT firewall I can keep that interface away from the Net (not that it needs it, it's hooked up via a port restricted router anyway).
Given the way OpenSuSE is set up it seems easier just to rebuild the still empty box using Fedora instead - also keeps the Novell-Microsoft alliance from potentially causing problems :-). The only other alternative would be Ubuntu but that doesn't quite feel production ready yet (too much manual tinkering, but that's my personal opinion).
The box is empty at the moment so backups are not required, it uses ISPconfig simply because it's a quick way to set up test platforms (i.e. won't have more than about 2 'resellers' and 10 'clients').
So, in summary: Fedora 6 Perfect Setup delta with Fedora 5?
I'll try in a couple of hours anyway :-)
Is this what you're looking for?
It's a "Perfect Setup", I just named it differently this time.
I was wondering the same thing, I'm glad I found this post :)

WASHINGTON, DC, May 3, 2013- The Yellow Dog Project recommends tying a yellow ribbon or other visible yellow item on the leash or collar of you dog to signal to other dog owners and the general public that your dog needs space.
In some cities and neighborhoods, it seems like most people have a dog, and while most city dogs are well socialized, some dogs require a little space when on their walks. The problem is that it may be difficult to spot these dogs at a glance. Enter The Yellow Dog Project, a simple idea that may turn out to be a brilliant step forward in doggie etiquette.
It is important to know that not all dogs wearing a yellow ribbon are aggressive.
Dogs need space for a variety of reasons including recovering from surgery, undergoing training, being rehabilitated, and because they are nervous around other dogs or people.
The Yellow Dog Project website recommends that if you see a dog with a yellow ribbon on its leash, do not approach this dog with your own dog, maintain a safe distance, or give the dog and owner a chance to move out of your way.
Started in June of 2012 by Tara Palardy, a dog trainer from Alberta, Canada, the Yellow Dog Project was inspired by a Swedish website. The Project's FaceBook page has already attracted over 21,000 followers from around the world and has spread to over 47 countries.
I was personally thrilled to learn about the Project. My little dog Emma (above) is a joy, but suffers from a bit of a Napoleon complex and loves to throw her weight around—all nine pounds of it—when we go for a walk. It has created some really awkward situations, and sometimes it is just tiring and uncomfortable to tell everyone that your dog is not friendly.
While most dog owners understand, a small minority will give you dirty looks that say, "how dare your dog bark at mine?" or "you must be a horrible person." We have tried everything from training to muzzles to squirt guns with water to an aerosol pet deterrent that emits a strange noise that annoys not only your dog but every dog within a 50 ft. radius. While she has gotten a little better, nothing seems to work so I'm willing to give this a try.
While a fantastic initiative, Claudia Kawczynska of The Bark magazine says the idea will have a hard time catching on, especially in larger communities. "It's expecting a lot out of people," says Kawczynska.
Even though it is still in its infancy, this may be a worthy cause to share with friends and other pet owners.

Marriages and Civil Partnerships
Marriage in this country is the union of two people voluntarily entered into for life to the exclusion of all others
- New - we have created a page with information about marriage outside England and Wales (including abroad)
- Did you know we offer a choice of ceremony scripts and do not charge extra for things like walking down the aisle or personalising your ceremony?
- A large room - Our Ceremony Room has seating for 50 people plus standing room for around 30 more. We welcome large weddings and have access to a 180 seat Council Chamber on most Saturdays. Come to Haringey for all of the extras without the extra price
We have put this page together to let you know what you need to do if you wish to marry or enter into a civil partnership. Arranging a wedding or civil partnership requires time and preparation. Outlined below are the three key steps in arranging a wedding or civil partnership:
Choosing your venue
Since the law was relaxed, a wide range of venues are now licensed for marriage. These include hotels and banqueting suites known as approved premises, or traditional venues like Register Offices and Churches.
Decide which venue you would like to marry in and make a provisional booking with the venue. The venue can be located anywhere in the world. Book your venue in plenty of time to avoid disappointment.
In Haringey we have a choice of venues including our own Civic Suite:
- please see our venues section for more information on the Civic Suite, and
- the Approved Premises page for details of other venues in Haringey
Giving Notice of Marriage/Civil Partnership
Notice must be given in order to get married:
- to book a Notice of Marriage appointment please book online, or call 020 8489 2605
Please note: if your preferred date is not available, the booking system will offer the next available date. Saturday Notice appointments are not normally available to book online.
Unless one or both parties are subject to immigration control, Notice must be given to the district where you both live. To give Notice you must establish residency. Residency is established after you have lived at an address for seven clear days. If coming from abroad the date a person arrives in the UK and the date Notice is given is not taken into account. For example if you arrive on the 1st of the month the earliest Notice can be given would be the 9th of the month.
When giving Notice both parties must present evidence of their name, age and nationalities. This is normally done by presenting a passport. Some ID cards can also be accepted.
- Please see our documents needed to give notice of marriage page for more information
Proof of address is needed and evidence the parties are free to marry, such as divorce documents if applicable. Please note that most overseas divorces require clearance from the General Register Office. We will submit your documents to them on your behalf. This process normally takes at least three weeks and clearance is not always granted.
Evidence of immigration status is not required but if one or both parties are subject to immigration control you are advised to seek advice from the Home Office to ensure you comply with the immigration law side of getting married.
Once Notice has been given, the Notice goes on public display for a period of time, normally 15 clear days but this can vary. For example if getting married abroad the Notice period can be up to 21 clear days. Please see the Notice of Marriage and Civil Partnership page for more information.
Forming a Civil Partnership
We offer a number of ways to form a Civil Partnership. Ceremonies can take place in our Civic Suite, at one of our approved venues or in our Register Office. At the Civic Suite and at approved venues you have the option to personalise your ceremony. If you would like to keep things simple and keep costs down you can simply sign a Civil Partnership Schedule in front of your two witnesses in the Register Office. Signings take place each Tuesday when we have additional signing appointments available at £49 per couple. For signings only please give Notice of Civil Partnership for the Register Office and not the Civic Suite.|Back to top
Personalising your ceremony
Our Weddings and Civil Partnerships Team are here to help ensure that your special day is a memorable occasion. We offer a friendly and unhurried service tailored to you; from the simple to the extravagant we are here to cater to your requirements. Take a look at our Ceremony Guide (PDF 3MB) to help plan your ceremony.
Please also look at the personalising your ceremony page to see a choice of ceremony scripts and ideas to personalise your ceremony.
Our Venues
We offer a number of venues to meet all tastes and budgets. Our range of approved premises includes Alexandra Palace, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and Bruce Castle Museum.
Visit our approved premises page for more information.|Back to top
The Civic Suite
Our own Civic Suite offers two rooms in which your ceremony can take place. These are the Ceremony Room and the spacious Council Chamber.|Back to top
The Ceremony Room
The Ceremony Room with its wood panelling, floral arrangements and marble columns has large floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Commonwealth Garden.
The room has seating for up to 50 guests with standing room for many more. This makes it one of the larger ceremony rooms in the area. This room is entirely on the ground floor.|Back to top
The Council Chamber
The Council Chamber is our largest room with seating for 180 guests including a 100 seat upper gallery area (gallery not suitable for young children). There is also standing room on the lower level.
This is the perfect venue for larger celebrations. The Council Chamber with its wood panelling has modern comfortable free form seating in the main chamber making it the adaptable venue for your special occasion.
This room also benefits from having a white screen and projector that can be used for displaying photographs / PowerPoint presentations for a couples special day. This room is primarily on the first floor with access to the Gallery on the second floor. A lift and spiral staircase provide access to the first floor.|Back to top
The Commonwealth Garden / Photographs
The Commonwealth Garden is home to a number of trees from around the world.
This along with flowering shrubs makes it the perfect location for wedding and civil partnership photographs. A number of garden benches offer seating for guests.
The gardens opposite the Civic Centre offer further opportunities for photographs.|Back to top
Parking and Public Transport
Parking is available on a first come first served basis at the front of the Civic Centre. Please use post code N22 9SB if driving to us. Free parking in our large car park at the back of the Civic Centre is available at weekends. Pay and display bays are located nearby.
We are located only five minutes from Wood Green Underground Station on the Piccadilly Line and close to Alexandra Palace Overground Station. Being based in Wood Green we benefit from excellent connections by bus to all parts of North London and beyond.|Back to top
Payments and fees
Details of fees for all of our weddings and services can be found on the Register Office Fees Page.
All ceremonies must be paid in full at least 3 months before the ceremony date. Fees are subject to change until paid in full.
We reserve the right to cancel ceremonies not paid in full by the due date.
Further information
If after reading these pages you require further advice or assistance please get in contact:
Tel 020 8489 2605 or
Email firstname.lastname@example.com
We will be happy to assist you with organising your special day.

Canadian Couple Customize Car for Their Pet Bison, Take Him to the Bar
- topic:
- Videos
- Niche Going
- Animals
- Television
A couple in Canada have customized their red sedan (removed the passender side seat and sawed the roof off, from what I can tell) so that they can drive with their pet bison, Bailey.
Even better, they're not just driving him around town to do errands, they bring him to the local bar with them, and apparently he really likes beer.
I can hear PETA now, worried about Bailey's drinking, but at least he's snacking from the feeder they've mounted to the car's hood on the drive over, right? Carbs to absorb the alcohol. He's a step ahead of 90% of college freshmen.

Time Out says
Posted: Wed Nov 7 2012
The winner of the 2004 Turner Prize takes a polymathic approach to his work, which includes film, publications, installations and parades, and could be described as an exploration of the British soul (he's probably best known for his 2001 video reenactment of a 1984 coal miners' strike in the U.K.). Along with the 1995 installation I Heart Melancholy, Deller presents new text-based posters as well as biodocs of two notable British eccentrics: Adrian Street, a Welsh wrestler and cross-dresser; and Bruce Lacey, a creator of automatons and a comic performer who once worked with the Beatles, Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers.

Click here for more on the Dragons' impressive year. They beat Bearden Saturday in the State 2A playoffs 24-14.
This game was a bit bittersweet for me. I work in Union County, and Junction City is on my beat, but my dad is the band director at Bearden Schools. I announced for the Bearden band at halftime, and was hoping that the Bears could pull out a state championship win for the first time in school history.
But it just wasn't in the cards for the Bears. I bestow congratulations on Junction City, and Coach David Carpenter, for not only a great season, but for what appears to be a true dynasty in Arkansas 2A football.
Carptenter is to JC what Paul "Bear" Bryant was to the University of Alabama. And that's no understatement. His hard-driving style mirrors Bryant's, and the JC teams he has coached deserve every accolade they have received.
The State 2A title Saturday was hard fought, and the best this year at War Memorial Stadium, according to the official public address announcer in the press box.
Bearden lost the ball several times during the first half — costly turnovers that sealed their fate in the end. I take my hat off to the Junction City Dragons for taking full advantage of these mistakes. Good job, men. A great show, and a great day for Union County. First the El Dorado Wildcats, and now the Dragons.

'From Elvis in Memphis' is the thirty-fifth album by Elvis Presley originally released in 1969.
The recording of the album marked the definite return of Presley to non-soundtrack albums, after finishing his movie contract with Paramount pictures.
Motivated by his early influences in country, rhythm and blues, and the latest music trend in Memphis being gospel and soul, Presley chose to record these songs at the Memphis-based American Sound Studio.

Engineers work on a model of the Mars rover Curiosity at the Spacecraft Assembly Facility at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., Thursday, Aug. 2, 2012. After traveling 8 1/2 months and 352 million miles, Curiosity will attempt a landing on Mars the night of Aug. 5, 2012. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- NASA says a small bright object detected on Mars is likely a piece of plastic from the Curiosity rover.
The six-wheel spacecraft captured an image of the puzzling object Monday after scooping up Martian sand and dust over the weekend.
In a statement Tuesday, the space agency says the plastic bit that fell off the rover is "benign." While plans are continuing to positively identify it, NASA says it is not "Martian material."
Curiosity will continue taking pictures of its surroundings as the project team decides the next move.
Curiosity landed in an ancient crater in August on a two-year mission to determine whether the environment was ever favorable for microbial life. It started driving toward its first science destination after a month checking out its instruments.

Panasonic's latest addition to their FZ ultra-zoom line is the 18x optical zoom-equipped Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18. The nice optically stabilized long lens can also do wide angle (28mm equivalent) and the camera can capture 8.1 megapixel images. Panasonic has also rolled out an "Intelligent Auto" mode, which provides continuous AF, automatic scene selection and a face detection system along with optical image stabilization and Intelligent ISO control. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 will be available in September 2007 for $400.
(view large image)
The Intelligent Auto mode is basically another step in the same direction that Intelligent ISO Control was in the last round of Panasonic cameras. This direction is to make it easier for your typical camera user to get the shots that they want. The continuous AF helps minimize focus time, the face detection lets you focus on and expose up to 15 faces correctly, and the Intelligent Scene Selector will choose between settings for Portrait, Scenery, Macro, Night Scenery, and Night Portrait.
Besides the specs already mentioned, the FZ18 has a 2.5 inch, 207K pixel LCD, an electronic viewfinder with 188K pixels, a maximum aperture of f2.8, and is capable of shooting at sensitivities up to ISO 1600. If has a full complement of manual exposure modes, like shutter priority and aperture priority, as well as plenty of preset scene modes.
(view large image)
Panasonic also did some revamping of the controls a bit. There are now dedicated buttons for auto focus, auto exposure lock, and macro. It still has the joystick control that its predecessor, the FZ8, possessed as well. A rubberized grip provides a comfortable, stable way to hold the camera (and hold that 18x optical zoom steady).
I got hands-on with the FZ18 at a press event and was pretty impressed. The camera was very comfortable to hold and the 18x optical zoom lens was very good. As is typical of Panasonic cameras, operation was very snappy. The Intelligent Auto mode should be well-received by your average camera user.
Hands-On Shots

Here's an example of the power of the zoom. Shot on the left is wide-angle, shot on the right is telephoto. Shutter speed was a little too slow to get a nice sharp shot, but these shots illustrate the zoom well.

Current Standings - New York: 38-22, 2nd in the Eastern Conference (.5 games ahead of the Indiana Pacers), 1st in the Atlantic Division (Leading the Brooklyn Nets by 2.5 games) Golden State: 35-29, 6th in the Western Conference (13.5 games behind the San Antonio Spurs), 2nd in the Pacific Division (Trailing the Los Angeles Clippers by by 9 games)
Previous Meetings - Knicks won 109-105 at MSG just 12 days ago. Stephen Curry went off for 54 points.
What To Watch For - This is the first of a five game Western Conference road trip for the Knicks, who are 16-12 on the road this year. Carmelo Anthony is listed as probable and is expected to play. There's no doubt that the Knicks have been game planning against Steph Curry for the last couple days. Last time these teams met he dropped 54 points and almost led his team to victory despite missing David Lee. A knee contusion kept Lee out Saturday night against Milwaukee but he will suit up tonight.
Injury Update – Golden State - David Lee (PF) is listed as Day-to-Day (Right Knee Contusion) – New York - Carmelo Anthony (SF) is listed Probable (Knee) Rasheed Wallace (PF) is out (Fractured Left Fifth Metatarsal) Amar'e Stoudemire (PF) is out (Right Knee Debridement)
Key Matchup - Iman Shumpert vs. Stephen Curry. We all know the damage he inflicted upon the Knicks last meeting and there's no way Mike Woodson can let him even come close to matching that again. Shump has been getting some extra run the last couple games, including a season high 27-plus minutes last game, so if Steph starts heating up, it will be his responsibility to cool him down.
Knicks Win If – It obviously makes things easier if Melo plays, but after the beating they gave Utah on Saturday night without him, there's no reason to think his absence makes the game impossible to win. Both the Knicks and Warriors average 100 points per game, but the Knicks only give up 95.8 while Golden State surrenders 101.4 each contest. If New York can get to 100 points, they should be able to get the victory.
Warriors Win If – They can jump out to an early lead and keep the crowd involved throughout the entire game. Golden State is 20-9 at home so far this season, including victories over Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Indiana, Brooklyn, Boston, and the Los Angeles Clippers twice. They play at a whole other level when defending their home court so if the Knicks spot them an early lead, they will find it difficult to climb back.

Signs Of The Times
There are at least four methods of sign assessment for retroreflectivity:
1. Conducting a visual nighttime inspection by a trained sign inspector. Signs identified as below the minimum level should be replaced.
2. Measuring sign-retroreflectivity with the use of a retroreflectometer. This method can be very time-consuming, and the investment in equipment can be expensive.
3. Replacing signs based on their expected lifespan. For this method to work, the age and installation date of signs must be known. Replacement is based on expected sign life and an experience with degradation of retroreclectivity compared to minimum levels.
4. Replacing all signs at once. This method seems the most desirable since it eliminates guesswork, and ensures that all signs meet the new standards.
Coming Up With A Plan
Developing a sign-assessment and management plan helps with the budget, allowing for the plan to be phased in. Even if all signs are not replaced by the given deadlines, development and implementation of the plan will help satisfy the requirements.
Develop a sign-assessment and management program:
1. Take inventory of all signs, and put the information into a manual or computer database.
2. Create a program for scheduled inspections.
3. Develop a preventative-maintenance program to ensure that signs attain their full service life.
4. Develop a program and process for either repairing or replacing non-functional signs. This is important because it helps convey the message that you are not neglecting this aspect of maintenance and upkeep.
5. Keep accurate records of sign replacement and maintenance activities. Many agencies have started to apply stickers to the backs of signs with the installation date, agency name, and anti-vandalism warnings.
Do not overlook the need to inspect sign posts either. Ensure that the posts are positioned properly for lateral location, and that the signs are installed at the proper height. Refer to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for additional information on proper positioning and installation. Check posts for decay as well. Some signs are quite heavy, and no one wants to see one topple over on a park patron.
Combing Through The Details
To help offset replacement costs as well as perform our jobs as stewards of parks, consider recycling old signs. This may be a particular money-saver as the price of aluminum continues to rise. There are vendors that will re-face old signs, provided that the blanks are in reasonably good condition. This alternative can result in a savings of up to 30 percent for some sign replacement, as well as give your agency a public-relations boost.
Before deciding whether to replace a sign, evaluate whether its message is worth repeating. In other words:
1. Does the sign fulfill a need?
2. Does it command attention?
3. Does it convey a clear and simple meaning?
Lastly, consider whether the size of the lettering on signs needs to be larger. As this society ages, some people are having a harder time reading signs. Make the senior population feel welcome in your parks with signs that are easier to read.
There is much to be said concerning the design, placement, and maintenance of signs. Although traffic signs are based on engineering judgment, all other signs may be based on the old adage that "less is more." Is your agency prepared to meet these challenges?

Master of Divinity
The NYTS Master of Divinity (MDiv) is a 90-credit graduate degree designed for women and men who are already serving full-time in ministry, who are bi-vocational, or who are contemplating a shift from a secular to a religious vocation. The MDiv is the standard graduate degree for professional ministry in the United States and Canada. It is designed to provide exposure in considerable depth to the broader range of theological disciplines (biblical studies, history, theology, ethics, sociology of religion, and the arts of ministry) in a manner that integrates theory and practice, or reflection and action. Many churches require the MDiv for ordination, and while others may not make it a requirement, they often encourage their pastors or other leaders to secure the degree to prepare them for more effective leadership.
At NYTS, classes in the MDiv program are offered in the evening and at other times that are accessible to those who work full-time in either religious or secular employment. The curriculum is designed to be completed over a four-year period, although some are able to complete it in three years while others elect to take longer. As with other programs at NYTS, the M.Div. is oriented toward ministry in the contemporary global urban context. The Seminary places a strong emphasis upon the life of churches and other religious communities who are considered the Seminary's partners in the educational venture, but keeps in view the wider horizons of the global urban context as the arena in which ministry and transformation occur.
Students in the MDiv program at NYTS represent a wide range of cultural identities, professional experiences, and theological commitments. Many commute a considerable distance to avail themselves of the rich educational opportunities that the Seminary has to offer. We place a great deal of emphasis not only upon diversity but also inclusion at NYTS. Students from all walks of life will find themselves welcomed into a community of learning that takes seriously their call to ministry.
As the continuation of The Biblical Seminary in New York, NYTS affirms both the centrality of Bible and the diversity of its interpretation and application. Students in the M Div program are expected to gain a thorough acquaintance with both the First and Second Testaments (or the Old and New Testaments), as well as skills in exegesis and interpretation for ministry. There are opportunities for learning biblical languages and doing advanced work in biblical exegesis. Students are also expected to develop a deeper understanding of their own historical and theological identity through the classical disciplines of study as they develop an ability to analyze and engage the social, political, economic, and cultural forces that are encountered in the world around them. A rigorous Supervised Ministry program places emphasis upon pastoral formation in diverse professional contexts, while classes in the arts of ministry seek to hone student's skills in preaching, teaching, leading worship, providing pastoral care, organizing, administering, and more.
The Seminary offers a modified Korean and Spanish language track as part of its MDiv program. Courses in the arts of ministry are offered regularly in these languages, designed to enable students who minister within these contexts to do so with increased competency. Additional courses explore the nature of leadership in a particular cultural context, or the history of a particular cultural community. Courses dealing with issues of justice and transformation, the empowerment of women, building capacities for ministry, and the diversity of expressions of spirituality are all likewise part of the program's curriculum, reflecting the Seminary's commitments to diversity and inclusion.
These orientations and emphases make NYTS distinctive among theological seminaries in the United States . Without dormitories, dining facilities, or other appurtenances of residential seminary life, a unique community of learning emerges year after year among students and faculty. Regular small group work in classrooms, weekly opportunities for corporate worship and prayer, and two overnight retreats each year contribute to building community life in the program. In addition the Seminary's strong commitment to the life of the churches and other religious communities in New York City and beyond allows students to draw upon them for resources as they engage in the transformational processes of theological education.
Under the guidance of an outstanding and diverse faculty of women and men, students are invited to synthesize life experience with the academic study of religion, and to gain and enhance skills relevant to the constituencies they expect to serve. Through the programs of the Center for the Study and Practice of Urban Religion the life of the church and the life of the city are brought together for interactive learning. The Center for World Christianity helps students gain a fuller understanding and appreciation of the global dimensions of their faith and to learn to see the contributions of their own communions or denominational traditions to the larger church at work in the world. The Resource Center for Women in Ministry seeks to empower women and men to minister together more effectively at every level, attentive to the needs of women from diverse cultural settings and contexts throughout the academic program.
Learning Competencies
In line with the Seminary's Mission Statement, the MDiv seeks to prepare men and women for ministry who are:
- informed biblically
- steeped in Christian thought and tradition
- skilled in the practice of ministry for personal, ecclesial and social transformation
- committed to the call of the Gospel for reconciliation, justice, evangelism and transformation
- equipped for diverse and inclusive partnerships in congregations, the city, and the world
- centered in a spiritual tradition which is dynamic in its formation and open to God's continuing revelation
Admissions requirements
The MDiv is open to women and men who:
- possess a BA, BS, or equivalent undergraduate degree from an accredited four-year college (applicants holding degrees or diplomas from another country may be required to provide a translated copy and to provide further information to help the admissions committee determine equivalency)
- demonstrate evidence of an ability to do graduate level study, primarily assessed through the written answers to the application essay questions and through recommendations
- are able to articulate an understanding of their call to ministry in a manner that is appropriate to their own experience and faith tradition
- belong to a community of faith or have a specific ministry setting in which the applicant exercises responsibility
Application, acceptance and enrollment
NYTS has a rolling application process. Applications are received at any time during the year and reviewed as soon as possible thereafter, usually within one month. In order to be considered, the application must be complete, including a photo, the application fee, required essays, transcripts, data sheet, and recommendations. Following the receipt of a completed application, an interview is scheduled with the Academic Dean or another member of the faculty.
Upon acceptance, a student may enroll for classes beginning with the next scheduled semester or intensive period. Normally students who are accepted into the MDiv enroll in the first-year sequence of courses that begins in the fall semester with Introduction to Theological Education. Students who begin the MDiv program in the winter, spring or summer enter as unclassified and can take elective courses until the fall semester when they matriculate and become part of the first year class.
Students from any of the theological schools with which NYTS has cross-registration agreements (Union Seminary, General Theological Seminary, and Drew Theological School) may register for any course offered at the Masters level through their own institutions, paying tuition to their home institution and being enrolled as a regular NYTS student for that particular course. Cross-registered students do not receive an NYTS student identification card and are not expected to attend NYIS student retreats or other such events.

The Curriculum
The MDiv curriculum at NYTS is structured along both traditional and nontraditional lines, with flexible and innovative methods of teaching and administration, sensitivity to matters of cultural diversity, and a clear commitment to academic excellence. A typical course progression totaling 90 credits is shown below. Students are strongly encouraged to move through the four-year curriculum in sequence. The curricular divisions reflect the NYTS mission statement that recognizes the Seminary's historic focus on the Bible, its strong emphasis on Christian thought and tradition, and its commitments to preparing men and women for ministry in the city and world. These in turn reflect the three areas of study that make up the NYTS curriculum: Biblical Studies; Christian Thought and Tradition (encompassing the disciplines of history, theology, ethics, and sociology); and Mission and Ministry Studies. Many courses in the curriculum are interdisciplinary in nature, reflecting the faculty's commitment to collaborative models of education that integrate theory and practice.
There are 60 required credits in the MDiv curriculum, distributed across all three fields. The remaining 30 credits are free electives. Elective courses are generally offered on a one to three year rotation, but may be offered only on an occasion basis. Electives are also offered each January, June, July and August. Students who seek to complete the MDiv in four years usually find they must plan to take some summer electives in order to reach 90 credits in that period of time. Courses taken through cross registration at Union Theological Seminary , General Theological Seminary, or Drew University School of Theology only count as electives unless arrangements have been made by the deans of both schools. Elective credits may also be transferred from the collaborative programs at Queens College department of Urban Affairs (MA), Fordham University (MSW), or Blanton-Peale Institute. Biblical language courses are available on a regular basis at NYTS, as are Hebrew and Greek exegesis classes, which require these language skills.
All candidates for the MDiv must complete 8 credits of Supervised Ministry, which are normally earned over the course of the final four academic semesters of the degree program. Supervised Ministry takes place at a designated site of ministry and is based on learning goals to be determined in consultation with the student, the site supervisor, and an NYIS advisor. Procedures are described in a separate handbook available from the Office of Supervised Ministry. Students in Supervised Ministry meet in small groups once a month on Saturday mornings each semester. The purpose of these meetings is to sustain students in a peer group context where ministerial experiences can be shared and evaluated and where ongoing theological reflection can occur.
Candidates for ordination are provided with polity courses covering a number of denominational traditions, and students are strongly urged to register for these courses. Candidates for ordination in the Presbyterian Church USA are strongly urged to contact Auburn Theological Seminary, which provides additional resources for Presbyterian students at NYTS. Special arrangements will be made by the office of the Academic Dean to accommodate any student requiring polity for a denomination that is not regularly offered.
Most NYTS courses in the MDiv are offered Monday through Thursday evenings from 6:10 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Required courses are offered sequentially in the first two years, with some having as prerequisite the completion of earlier courses in the program. Students are strongly urged to follow the regular sequence as they move toward graduation. Required courses identified as part of Year A and Year B in the curriculum (see the chart on the following page) are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Other required courses in Year C and D may be offered on Mondays or Wednesdays. Supervised Ministry classes are held on one Saturday a month. Occasionally courses may be offered as one-week intensives, study trips, retreats or conferences. Classes are mostly held in the Martin Luther King, Jr. educational wing of The Riverside Church, located at 490 Riverside Drive (between 120th and 122nd Streets) in Manhattan (entrance is on Claremont Avenue). NYTS does not maintain a circulation library of its own, but provides access to the collections of Columbia University Library System, which includes full access to the Burke Library of Union Seminary on Broadway at 121st Street. Additional library resources are available through the New York Public Library.
Education at NYTS takes place in community. Research arising from practical or field-based experience and learning from the more traditional bibliographic resources are equally valued. Both provide substantive content for courses. One will find the learning process to be both inductive and student-centered. We continue to rely considerably on writing assignments and assigned readings, but the overarching pedagogical concern of the faculty is to connect the evening classroom experience with the daytime working experience and the church responsibilities that most students manage to carry.
As part of its overall ministry, NYTS seeks to work collaboratively where possible with other accredited seminaries in addressing the needs of theological education in the city. Because NYTS offers courses in the evening and throughout the summer, a number of students who are enrolled in other seminaries take classes at NYTS each year with the intention of transferring the credits to their regular institution. Such students must complete the regular application process for NYTS and are enrolled as unclassified. Unclassified students at NYTS may not take more than 30 credits without matriculating in the Seminary or meeting with the Academic Dean for permission to continue.
Language Track Programs
NYTS offers opportunities for students who are bilingual in either Korean or Spanish and English to complete the MDiv with some courses in the student's primary language. The courses that are offered in Spanish and Korean are typically in the area of Arts of Ministry. In addition, a course in writing for ministry is offered every semester. Students who need further work in basic English are strongly encouraged to apply to one of the many English as a Second Language (ESL) programs that are located throughout the New York region, including the Riverside Language School which is located on the 3rd floor of the Martin Luther King Educational Building in Riverside Church (across the street from The Interchurch Center). Private tutorial assistance is available on a non-credit basis through the office of the Academic Dean.
Students entering the MDiv bilingual track must possess a minimal ability to read and comprehend written English. The Seminary does not administer a placement test to determine English proficiency, but the Dean may request such a test of any student who is reported by a member of the faculty to be having difficulty with either written or spoken communication in English. The test will be administered by the Riverside Language School or another qualified testing agency of the Dean's choice. The cost of any such proficiency test will be borne by the student. Students may not continue in good standing within the MDiv program without demonstrating proficiency in English after their second year of study.
Pastoral Care Specialist Certification
NYTS offers a Master of Arts in Pastoral Care and Counseling (MAPCC) degree designed for persons who are engaged in specialized ministry in this area and who seek to integrate conventional theological education with psychological training The program, which is described elsewhere in this catalogue, works in collaboration with the Blanton-Peale Institute, a multi-faith, non-sectarian educational and mental health service organization that integrates psychology and spirituality. Courses in the area of pastoral care and counseling that are part of the MA degree program at NYTS are also open to candidates for the MDiv as electives as well. Students in the MDiv program who complete 20 credits in the area of pastoral care and counseling (Introduction to Pastoral Care and Counseling plus an additional 16 credits in electives in the area) will receive the Blanton-Peale Certificate in Pastoral Care and Counseling in addition to their MDiv degree upon graduation. Blanton-Peale is approved by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) as a Pastoral Care Specialist Training Program, which means that those who receive a Blanton-Peale Pastoral Care and Counseling Certificate are eligible for membership in the AAPC as a Pastoral Care Specialist.
The M.S.W. with Fordham University and M.A. in Urban Affairs with Queens College
Through collaborative planning with Fordham University and Queens College (CUNY), it is possible for students at NYTS to pursue either a Masters of Social Work degree (MSW) at Fordham or a Masters of Arts degree (MA) in Urban Affairs at Queens College while doing the MDiv at NYTS. Separate applications must be made to NYTS and to Fordham or Queens College for these programs. For further information, contact the Office of the Academic Dean at NYTS.

I've been thinking about this a lot the last few days, since my first and only entry was on New Years Day last year. There were two specific incidents that I had in mind when I adopted it.
The first, I think I can safely say has been forgiven and forgotten as best as it ever will. It doesn't hurt anymore, and therefore I never use it to hurt the other person. It took a long time, but I truly believe that my friend never meant to hurt me.
The second event has been harder to forget, and even to just forgive. I knew it would be the harder of the two, because it was a situation where he should have known better. I have to keep reminding myself that it takes two, and I have my own responsibility.
Hopefully it won't take me until next January to get there, though! I have faith that I can let this go.

dumb show
dumb show, a theatrical pantomime included as part of a drama, especially in Elizabethan works, from the middle of the 16th cent. well into the 17th cent. Whether presented as a spectacle, with music, or as a masque with the players as allegorical characters, the dumb show appeared as prologue, between the acts, or during the play itself. It usually either presaged the events of the play or interpreted them as a chorus does.

Our friends over at Lucky might be braver than we are. They are really feeling the printed pants thing. Says Lucky's Jenna Gottlieb: "This season's crop of patterned trousers–while understandably intimidating–qualifies less as costume and more as refreshingly modern spring trend. And, surprisingly, these statement-making items are actually completely wearable." Gottlieb's got great taste, and she's selected several cute, perfectly patterned pairs to try, including these pairs from Nic + Zoe (left), Asos (center), and Forever 21 (right).

Moms speak: 11 cherished baby shower gifts
Of all the gifts they received at a baby shower, moms say they most appreciate practical lifesavers and things with sentimental value.
1. Gifts from the heart
"My favorite baby shower gifts are always the handmade blankets and hats and things that were made especially for your baby with love." — Baby Audrey3
"My mom gave us a basket filled with memorabilia – clothes I wore as a baby, toys I played with as a child, and even things she had as a child. It was so nice to get a gift that was truly from the heart." — Maddy's Ma
"My grandmother crocheted a hat, sweater, booties, and blanket for each of my (much older) brothers, but she passed away 15 years before I was born. My mom gave each piece to a different cousin when they had their children, years before me. Now I'm pregnant with my first and was thrilled and shocked to find out that my relatives saved those treasures through the years – and are returning them to me. My baby will have a gift from the great-grandmother that neither she nor I ever met. Very, very special!" — jnjbown
2. Gift certificates
"A $100 megastore gift certificate from my co-workers was the best gift I received. This is our second child, so we pretty much had everything we needed. The gift certificate will allow us to purchase diapers, wipes, and other necessities as we need them." — Melodie
"The gift certificate for a local portrait studio was so nice to have for the 1 month pictures." — sweetrysmomma
"When we needed something extra or were short on cash, gift cards were the best!" — Anonymous
3. Taking care of mom
"The best baby shower gift I got was my parents paying for me to go see my husband for a week. He's in the Navy, so we haven't had much chance to see each other during this pregnancy." — Mrs.Parad0xe
"The best baby shower present I got was a gift coupon for a massage and a pedicure." — Rosa Maria
"My best gift was a date-night certificate for me and my husband to get reacquainted, about a month after our second baby was born. It included dinner for two at the restaurant of our choice and childcare for our two tots. Probably saved our marriage!" — Jeanne
"By my fourth baby, I already had everything I needed for a girl or boy, so my friends pitched in and got me a professional one-time house cleaning. It was perfect! I felt so refreshed and so grateful for the much-needed help." — Anonymous
"I received a pregnancy pillow from a dear friend, and it made the last few weeks of my pregnancy so much more comfortable. Definitely the best present I received. I am still using it as support to feed our baby, and I just bought another for a friend." — Anonymous
4. Bedding and baby blankets
"After my mom died, my dad gave her yarn to another woman who also crochets. That woman gave me a baby blanket with a letter attached saying she had found this blanket three-quarters done in the stash of yarn and finished it for me. My mom made blankets for all my friends' babies, and I was devastated that I would never have one. I can't wait to bring the baby home in this blanket!" — Kim
"We received a hand-knitted baby blanket from my aunt (the same aunt who married us). It's really special to me and will be with my son forever, just as my hand-knitted baby blanket from my grandmother is still with me." — Lori
"As a child, I loved my blanket with satin trim. And my first daughter, now 5, carried around a pair of men's silk boxers. (Luckily we've broken her of the boxer habit, but she still loves anything silky.) This brings me to the greatest little gift I received at my shower – a fleece blanket with different types of silk ribbons and silk tags all around the edges. Everyone loved it, including my daughter and me." — Celeste
"I like to buy a gift that's on the mom's registry (such as a baby blanket) and then personalize it by having it monogrammed or having the baby's name embroidered on it." — Jill
Buying guides & expert tips
