Faith moves mountains—and cultures. For the West African Aladura Christians, spiritual things—whether holy or, in the case of native religion, hostile—are as tangibly real as the landscape, and those who pray in faith can expect tangible, sometimes startling results.
The name Aladura, Yoruba for "Owners of Prayer," is proudly worn by a family of churches that sprang from the ministries of charismatic prophets in Yorubaland (Nigeria) after World War I. These churches have since spread far beyond their West African roots. After the Nigerian civil war (1967-1970), Aladura churches emerged in that country, and through the West African Diaspora they have become firmly established in Britain, North America, and other parts of the world.
Fervor and generosity in congregational life, strong devotion to prayer and fasting, openness to dreams and visions, the frequent use of prayer for the healing of mental and physical illness—the Aladura share all of these thoroughly biblical traits with the Zionist churches of South Africa. Both groups are part of a larger family of prophetic African initiated churches that flourish in some African countries—such as Nigeria, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Ghana—but are much less common in others.
Members of Aladura and kindred groups often wear a distinctive dress, such as white robes, to symbolize their separation from the world. They are uncompromisingly hostile to African traditional religion, and this contributes greatly to their appeal: they offer their followers protection against witchcraft—which still strikes fear in the hearts of many postcolonial Africans.
The most prominent Aladura churches are these:
The Christ Apostolic Church grew out of an Anglican Bible study group founded in 1920 and was associated with the British Apostolic Church from 1931 to 1941. Its distinctive hallmark is its rejection of both traditional and western medicine.
The Cherubim and Seraphim Society was founded by two visionaries, Moses Orimolade and Christiana Abiodun, in 1925. Though it divided into many separate churches, nearly all of these in time reunited. Its members wear white robes and embark on long preaching tours.
The Church of the Lord (Aladura) was founded by another visionary, Josiah Ositelu, in 1930.
The Celestial Church of Christ, one of the most popular Aladura churches, was founded by a Porto Novo carpenter, Samuel Oschoffa, in 1947. It grew into a major church from the 1960s on, after the establishment of a branch in Lagos.
The Aladura churches were originally relatively small; but there was a great influx, often of the poor and uneducated, during the Revival of 1930. This revival was led by Joseph Babalola, a road-grader driver who reluctantly became a prophet and leader after a series of visions. Babalola's revival was powerful, if short lived; he called on people to burn their traditional religious images, and thousands responded and joined either Aladura or mission churches.
The following are profiles of four of the most influential leaders.
—Elizabeth Isichei
Josiah Ositelu (1902-1966) was too mystical for the Anglicans or even other Aladura leaders. But out of a long career as a witch-busting evangelist, he founded a far-flung Aladura church.
"I will give you the key of power like Moses, and will bless you like Job." So ran one of the thousands of Divine messages Josiah Ositelu believed he received directly from God—complete with sacred symbols, names, and even a unique form of writing. In 1926, during a series of harrowing night battles against the power of witches, he called on God by revealed names like Anomonolnollahhuha. In an April 1927 revelation, he received his own personal holy name, Arrabablalhubab, which he used for the next 20 years as a personal signature.

Salamat is master Nubian percussionist Mahmoud Fadl's Cairo-based roots band.
Salamat is master Nubian percussionist Mahmoud Fadl's Cairo-based roots band. Ezzayakoum features vocalists Sayed Khalifa, Hassan El Saghir, Salwa Abou Greisha, and Hassan Abdel Azziz, as well as a dozen outstanding instrumentalists. Only one of the songs—"Elleya Misafir"—is a traditional piece. The remaining tracks are contemporary Nubian songs, most of which were authored by members of the ensemble. Fadl and his collaborators are Nubian neo-traditionalists, inspired by the ancient musical heritage of Nubia, yet intent on making this heritage a living part of our world. The music is romantic, wonderfully melodic, and intensely rhythmic. The moods vary from the uptempo groove of "Lau Elreida" to the elemental arrangement of "Galbi El Atouf," animated by the evocative singing of Salwa Abou Greisha.—PVV

LaMarr Woodley signs, gets huge raise
By James Walker
Pittsburgh Steelers
outside linebacker
LaMarr Woodley
signed his franchise tender
Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Although the future of the tag is uncertain, Woodley is due a huge pay raise of approximately $10.2 million in 2011 compared to the $550,000 he made last season.
The Steelers will continue to try and work out a long-term extension with Woodley. Because Woodley is a former second-round pick who didn't make a large salary, neither side could do much because of the 30-percent rule under the current collective bargaining agreement. A new CBA will provide an opportunity for both sides to resume negotiations.
Woodley is one of three AFC North players to receive the franchise tag this offseason. The others are
Baltimore Ravens
Pro Bowl defensive lineman
Haloti Ngata
Cleveland Browns
Phil Dawson

The blessed, yet cursed life of Chris Antley

Would guessing it's typewriter on cut-out paper be uncouth?
I thought that too, but it appears to be a computer/digital effect, no?
I see no particularly digital effects (other than use of a digital typewriter font with the same irregularities on each character). Anyway, you could achieve something similar even in Word, carefully using text boxes.

Usborne in January?
I promise that I won't blog only about Usborne Books, but I wanted to share this, in case you might be interested in hosting a party this month, as this is an amazing deal!
I share more on my facebook page, found here! Let me know if you're interested!
More on holidays, coming soon :)

Usborne Books!
A few weeks ago, I became a consultant with Usborne Books and More, a publishing company of children's books of all ages and reading levels! I'm so excited! There are few things that I love more than books, so this is something that seems so perfect for me.
A few months ago, I was shopping with Heidi, when I saw a really adorable book called That's Not My Lamb, and decided to buy it for Amelia, as we love sheepies in our house. When she saw it, she said "oh, that's an Usborne book, I'm hosting a party with them soon." So of course, I couldn't wait for her party, which was held via facebook (so clever!). I bought a few more books for Amelia, booked my own party, and soon decided to sign up myself! It's really only been about a month that I've been doing this, but it's been a lot of fun! I've had a few facebook parties, and I am also going to have a booth at a holiday bazaar in a few weeks!
There are some really fun books, and I am loving expanding Amelia's library, of course :)
Amelia LOVES the That's Not My series, we have several of them!
They are touchy-feely books, with each page having a different "feel" for them. She has so much fun with them, and I love seeing her reaching for her books throughout the day!
I've created a facebook page, if you want to have a look at it, and feel free to "like" it too :)
Also, if you have any interest in hosting a facebook party of your own, please let me know! They take 30-45 minutes and are super fun! You can get free books, which make the very best Christmas presents, of course. There is still time for them to come in before the holidays too, if you'd like to host something soon!
Remember, free books :)

Happy Halloween, a few days late! We didn't take Amelia trick or treating, but she was cute nonetheless!
I had a moment of inspiration and she was a New England leaf peeper for her costume!
Easiest costume ever - I found a box of felt leaves at Michaels and glued them all over a onesie and leggings, and then onto some elastic for a headband! Then we handed her the camera, for a few photos :)
The costume took about ten minutes to put together, and since I used a glue gun, it dried almost instantly!
How was your Halloween?

She wasn't too sure about the oatmeal ;)

Thoughts for Thursday!
Hello! I really don't blog much these days, do I? Hmmm. I should get back into this, perhaps? Let's work on that! I thought I'd play along with Thoughts for Thursday, hosted by Natalie and Annie, so here goes! I'm always good with randomness....
Amelia will be FIVE months old next week! Everyone always talks about how the time flies, and while I thought it was a bit of a cliche, it's also true. I feel like she was just a tiny thing, and here I am packing away her 0-3 and three month clothing, as she's in either 3-6 or six month! Insane! I know! I also packed away my maternity clothes yesterday. Since I was mostly pregnant in fall and winter, most of my clothing is sweaters, and I am not wearing those in a 90* DC summer :)
We took Amelia to the zoo on Father's Day and had so much fun! We got there later in the day, so it wasn't as hot anymore, which was nice. We're thinking of becoming members, as I think Amelia will like it a lot more as she gets older. Also, if you're a member, parking is free, otherwise, there is a $22 parking fee! Eeeek!
I made butter chicken last night for dinner, mostly following this recipe and it came out really well! Next time, I will add more spices...I didn't add enough this time, and didn't have the garam masala that the recipe called for. I love Indian food, and don't make it that often, but I really should.
I also got a tagine cooking pot for Christmas and need to use that more! I'd been wanting one for a while. Also, a popover pan. I love random kitchen items!
Amelia and I went to the library this afternoon and she's signed up for the summer reading program! She's excited to take part for the first time, and picked out several books to read. The library is just a few blocks from our house, which is fabulous, and I walked over in yoga capris and a tshirt, and no makeup and messy hair. Apparently I've become that mom...
Also, the new Arnold Palmer coolata from Dunkin Donuts is amazing. I'm obsessed.
I'm meeting a friend for dinner tonight, which will be great. I admit, I probably don't leave Amelia as often as I should, but frankly, I don't want to!
My sister is coming to visit this weekend! Also, Amelia and I will be home in NH next month for several days. Woo!
Okay! Those are today's thoughts...let's see if I can keep up with this blogging thing...
How about you? Any thoughts to share?

Sound the call of alarm and light the fires in the trenches, the time for war is upon you!
In some ways, the Dwarves of Urek were ahead of their time. Masters of metallurgy and alchemy, they had numerous technologies the human kingdoms were unaware of.
When man thinks of the wild, he thinks of the lush greenery of the forest, of the majestic plains and the deep mountains. He thinks of the elegant wild deer, of the mighty bear and the stealthy wolf. But there is another side to nature. This is the Legacy of one who learned.

The tale is sung more about the man who created it. His tale has been embellished time and again until he seemed more a god than the coward that he was.

Lying near the southwestern border, Danbury is one of Connecticut's most historical and charming small towns. With excellent schools, a superior quality of life and plenty of outdoor recreation nearby, it is no secret that many residents in Fairfax County are finding fantastic Danbury apartments for rent. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population in the area was more than 80,000, the perfect size for a family that wants to be part of a warm, welcoming community.
Danbury was settled in 1684 by eight families that came from nearby Norwalk and Stamford, and many of the streets in the historical downtown district are still named after them. There was quite a debate on what to name the town, but the new residents eventually settled on Danbury, after a city in England. During the colonial period, Danbury became an important center of trade with a strong agricultural region that shipped goods to New York and the West Indies.
After the Revolutionary War, the city became the hat-making capital of New England. By 1800, more hats were made in Danbury than another other place in the United States. To make hats you need lots of water, so residents in the area built seven reservoirs to provide waterways to the 56 local hat factories and shops in town. Toward the latter half of the 19th century, the community became well known in the area for the Great Danbury Fair, a popular meeting place for horse races, baked goods and prize-winning vegetables. The manufacturing section also displayed the finest hats in the city as well.
After hats grew out of fashion with men and women in the mid-20th century, Danbury reinvented itself into a modern city with fantastic public transportation and runways, as well as a population of many cultures speaking more than 40 different languages.
The largest private employers in the area include Cartus, Boehringer Ingelheim and the financial services offices of GE Capital. Corporations like Goodrich, TREX Medical Corporation and Keane all make their home here as well, according to the Housatonic Valley Council of Elected Officials. Since Danbury is situated on Interstate 84, it is positioned for long-term growth. Finding an apartment in Danbury near this major thoroughfare may be wise since it can take you to several locations throughout the city.
By far, the most popular institution in the area is Western Connecticut State University. Located on two sprawling, beautiful campuses in Danbury, this 4-year school offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in a variety of fields. With an enrollment of more than 6,000 students, this school has everything you need to pursue your career.
Because of its boom in population growth and job opportunity, Danbury has a cost of living index that is higher than the national average. According to information from city-data.com, the 2009 median gross rent in the area was $1,212 per month. However, the median household income increased more than $9,000 per month from 2000 to 2010, so many residents in the area should be able to live affordably.
One of the most exciting things to do in the Danbury area is to follow the Connecticut Wine Trail. With the state's cool climate and rich soils, the area around Danbury has become one of the most exciting and fastest growing wine regions in the country. Driving through this coastline will allow you to see the beautiful landscape of the Connecticut countryside and some interesting varietals like St. Croix, Cabernet Franc and Seyval Blanc.

Peter and Jennifer stayed with us for one night. It was a pleasure hosting them. They kept us informed about their arrival time, were easy to talk to, friendly and considerate. Great guests to recommend.
Peter and his girlfriend were a pleasure to host! I was away and so didn't meet them in person, but the conversations were over text and email were super easy and pleasant and they left the apartment clean and tidy. They are very considerate, and I'd be very happy to host them again anytime!
Peter and Jen were wonderful guests! They were kind and generous. I was impressed by Peter's interest in food. He seemed to know more about the city's food options than I did and was helpful to share his insights/recommendations. Peter and Jen would be a wonderful addition to anyone's household and I'm glad I got to know them a little bit!
Peter and Jennifer were quiet and respectful guests. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any prospective hosts.
Peter and Jennifer were great. Very tidy and respectful of their surroundings. One night is always too short to get to know our guests. So we hope they return and stay longer next time. Would be happy to have them back anytime.
Peter and his girlfriend were very nice guests, very clean and friendly. I didn't get to chat with them much, as I wasn't around too much, but I highly recommend them :)
Peter and his girlfriend were great guests. They arrived a little later than expected, but kept us updated the entire time, making it very easy to coordinate with them. They were both extremely nice and polite, and even brought us a treat from Toronto! We really enjoyed meeting both of them, and would be happy to have them over again.

Types of NHL
There are many types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Steroids are often given with chemotherapy to treat lymphoma. They also help you feel better and can reduce feelings of sickness (nausea) caused by chemotherapy.
Steroids prescribed to treat lymphoma have nothing to do with the kind of steroids used by some bodybuilders. The steroid most commonly used to treat NHL is prednisolone.
Steroids, as part of lymphoma treatment, are generally only given for short periods of time and usually have few side effects.
Possible side effects include:
Taking steroids with food can help reduce any indigestion. Your doctor may also prescribe medication to prevent it. You should always tell your doctor if you have stomach pains while taking steroids.
If you have difficulty sleeping, taking steroids in the morning with food may help.
Occasionally, steroids may cause an increase in your blood sugar level. During treatment you may have regular blood or urine tests to check this. Tell your doctor if you get very thirsty or if you're passing more urine than usual.
Some people feel tired, have aches and pains, and feel a bit low in mood after finishing a course of steroids. This is due to their body adjusting to the changes in steroid levels and usually gets better within 2-3 days.

Shelf Life Blog
What a wonderful introduction to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol for the young (or a reminder of the message for the young at heart) to receive by watching A Muppet Christmas Carol with friends and family this holiday season. Muppet Gonzo the Great, as author Charles Dickens, and his friend Rizzo the Rat, as himself, narrate and add some Muppet mayhem to this classic tale. With music by Paul Williams and Michael Caine as a bemused Scrooge, this movie is sweet, funny, and heartwarming. I am a lifelong Muppet fan, and, like Jason Segal in his new Muppet Movie this year, want to save the Muppets from being forgotten. So suspend your disbelief and enjoy Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy as the Cratchits!
Jacob and Robert Marley (Muppets Statler and Waldorf) are the ghosts who haunt and heckle Scrooge in song about his avarice and greed. The chains Marley & Marley show Scrooge, which he has forged in his life, rattle his black soul and he starts his journey of self-discovery. Scrooge, of course, is haunted by Muppet ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Gonzo and Rizzo go along for the ride and add a little slapstick humor. Mixing the classic Muppet repertoire with Charles Dickens' story is done seamlessly, such as the party at Fozziwig's (played by Fozzie Bear) Rubber Chicken Factory with Animal jamming on the drums--a delight.
Billy Twitters is your average, run-of-the-mill elementary school-age kid. Sometimes he doesn't clean his room; sometimes he doesn't brush his teeth and at times such as these his parents threaten him with punishment of the most unusual sort. "Billy, finish your baked peas…or we're buying you a blue whale."
The boy thinks his parents are bluffing. A blue whale? Impossible! It wouldn't fit in the house! But one should never underestimate the power of mom and dad. When Billy awakes the next morning, a ginormous fin blocks the front door. By this point, you'll be more than consumed by the tale of Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem.
Nickel and Dimed is the story of veteran journalist Barbara Ehrenreich's investigation into low-wage America. Before she left her normal life to pursue this project, she already knew something of the problems that these workers endure because of her research into other social issues. Ehrenreich had suggested to the editor of Harper's Magazine that someone should do an investigative piece about this group, but she never thought at the time that she would be the person to dig deep into the lives of the working poor in America.
When Jodi Linder was three, the unbearable happened. As told in Nancy Pickard's The Scent of Rain and Lightning, one Saturday night, her father was murdered and her mother disappeared. Jodi grew up in the small town of Rose, Kansas, wrapped in the fierce protective circle of her three uncles, safe and cherished, but distrustful of happiness.
When Jodi Linder was 26, the unthinkable happened. Billy Crosby, the man convicted of killing her father, has been released from prison and returns to Rose, loudly protesting his innocence of the murder. In a small town, it's hard to keep your distance from anyone, and Jodi finds that she starts to run into Billy's son Collin just about everywhere. Collin is a lawyer who wants to live peacefully in Rose and wants to prove his father's innocence.
Phineas Gage was truly a man with a hole in his head. Phineas, a railroad construction foreman, was blasting rock near Cavendish, Vermont, in 1848 when a thirteen-pound iron rod was shot through his brain. Miraculously, he survived to live another eleven years and become a textbook case in brain science.
What an amazing story! The pictures and illustrations add to the narrative, and the cover photograph of his skull is very thought-provoking. Phineas Gage: A Gruesome But True Story, by John Fleischman, approaches Phineas's life after the accident from a scientific and psychological viewpoint. Fleischman includes interviews with people who knew Gage before his accident as well as after and observed the changes in his behavior. The author also presents notes from the doctors who treated him over the eleven years following his accident. It is an amazing story of survival and the resilience of the human brain. Who would have thought that anyone could have survived even a little while--let alone talk, walk and function after such an event?

Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier: Based on local history and family stories passed down by the author's great-great-grandfather, Cold Mountain is the tale of a wounded soldier Inman, who walks away from the ravages of the war and back home to his prewar sweetheart, Ada. Inman's odyssey through the devastated landscape of the soon-to-be-defeated South interweaves with Ada's struggle to revive her father's farm, with the help of an intrepid young drifter named Ruby. As their long-separated lives begin to converge at the close of the war, Inman and Ada confront the vastly transformed world they've been delivered." (Book description)

Enemy Women by Paulette Jiles
The Colleys are farmers in the Missouri Ozarks.

Yet as Adair soon discovers, fate can be a double-edged sword. (Catalog summary)
The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje
With ravishing beauty & unsettling intelligence, Michael Ondaatje's Booker Prize-winning novel traces the intersection of four damaged lives in an Italian villa at the end of World War II. Hana, the exhausted nurse; the maimed thief, Caravaggio; the wary sapper, Kip: each is haunted by the riddle of the English patient, the nameless, burned man who lies in an upstairs room & whose memories of passion, betrayal, & rescue illuminates this book like flashes of heat lightening. (Catalog summary)
How five crows managed to lift a twenty-pound baby boy into the air was beyond Prue, but that was certainly the least of her worries.
So begins Colin Meloy's debut novel Wildwood, in which a girl named Prue journeys into the Impassable Wilderness, a dense maze of a forest outside her hometown of Portland, Oregon, in order to retrieve her brother--with an awkward classmate named Curtis tagging along. Due to some misfortune involving coyotes decked out in military uniforms, the two children must separately navigate this strange world where talking animals uneasily coexist with humans who have never met anyone from the outside. A revolution is about to happen, and Prue and Curtis quickly find themselves on opposite sides.
In the early 15th-century Venice of The Fallen Blade, by Jon Courtenay Grimwood, no one is safe from the political ambitions of the ruling family--not even Giuliette, beautiful cousin of the Duke. She becomes a pawn in the schemes of her aunt and uncle who are regents for the simpleton Duke Marco. Meanwhile, Venice faces external threats from the Ottomans, the Byzantines and the German emperor. It is Atilo il Mauro's job as head of the Assassini to protect Venice and enforce the will of its ruling family while trying not to be destroyed by that family's internal power struggles.
Alexia Tarabotti finds it terribly inconvenient to happen upon a thirsting vampire while she herself is simply starving at an ill-hosted party with few victuals. She quickly dispatches the vamp with her parasol, a handy weapon that has saved her many times. Of course the vampire was no true danger to Alexia, who, as a rare preternatural without a soul, restores mortality (and therefore vulnerability) to such supernaturals as ghosts, vampires, and werewolves with a single touch. These supernaturals co-exist with humans in an alternate Victorian London in Soulless by Gail Carriger, the first of the Parasol Protectorate series.
The Summer I Learned to Fly by Dana Reinhardt is a coming-of-age story in which Drew, the female protagonist, matures into a teenager experiencing both a new love and parental disputes. Drew is a thirteen-year-old girl who spends most of her time with her mother at their cheese shop, unlike most of the girls at her school who spend most of their time angry with their mothers and completely boy-crazy. This makes her less popular with others at her school. Her life basically revolves around the cheese shop where her friend Suwuzie, a middle-aged woman going through a divorce, and Nick, her crush who is a surfer turned pasta maker, work for her mom. School is about to end and she intends to spend the entire summer at the cheese shop.

500 Miles to Go, by J. Conrad Guest
My parents loved watching Formula 1 races on TV, and the sound of cars speeding around the track always takes me straight back to childhood. So does J. Conrad Guest's 500 Miles to Go, which evocatively recreates everything to do with the American USAC , from scary crashes, miraculous survival, pit-stops that always seemed impossibly fast, to, of course, that magical sound as the cars rear around the bends, seemingly ready to fly. I read as drivers jockey for position and expect to see my father, tense in his seat, watching, wondering if the favored car will find a gap. Mum's telling me which driver's honest and which one's going to cheat his way to victory. English names fill me with pride. Foreign ones with memory. And it's just plain fun.
Meanwhile, of course, there are drivers living real lives with lost loves, dashed hopes, and off-track arguments. 500 Miles to Go tells the story of one driver's success and separation. "Lucky in cards, unlucky in love," my Gran used to say, but Alex Król is lucky and skilled in cars, while his love life is more unfortunate.
Król is being interviewed by a newspaper reporter as the story starts. They eat, drink scotch, and smoke cigars; the author recreates the scent of cigar smoke on the air as evocatively as the sense of racing on the track, while the older man teases his interviewer, offering truths and half-truths, before plunging into revealing all. He's lured perhaps by her beauty and her obvious interest. But is she interested in him, or just in her article?
There's a wealth of fascinating history in this novel, all told in the voice of a man who lived it and cares. And there's a convincing sense of someone transcribing his words. A sweet love story gives way to the love affair with speed. And cigar smoke offers that sense of slow listening, where interviewees can speak in full paragraphs and tell the tale their own way. First loser becomes disillusioned winner, hindsight waxes philosophical, and a lonely man reminds us "One doesn't find love... It's not some object to be unearthed... Love is a choice."
Is losing love a choice as well? As riders seek that median path, how do those of us on life's track avoid being overtaken?
I started to enjoy this story for its evocative depiction of racing cars. In the end I loved it for its people, and I'm really glad I found the time to read it.
Disclosure: The author kindly gave me an ecopy and I offer my honest review.

It's ridiculous. But the best part is that he's using the attention that the video gets to raise awareness and money…

CentOS 5.9 Released 96
from the for-all-your-white-box-needs dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
after a period of sluggishness, it's awesome the CentOS team has pulled together again after difficulties and management problems.
I've been using it at work for a few years now.
I used to dislike it because the packages were a bit older than everything I'd be able to install on a personal Linux machine running something different.
But there is definitely something to be said about having a stable ABI. Anything I build on my CentOS 6 VM I can run on another CentOS 6 machine. Not sure if the same can be said for other distributions if one of the systems has had upgrades to some of its libraries at some point.
Big thanks to the CentOS team for all their hard work.
Now, RedHat, please do not include GNOME 3 in RHEL 7. Use MATE or something. But please, for the sake of people who use your platform as a TOOL and not a TOY, keep GNOME 3 out!!
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes. -- Dr. Warren Jackson, Director, UTCS

I really like all three! I think Adelaide Seren Olivia is gorgeous (although I prefer the look of Adelaide Olivia Seren...). For Bellatrix, I like Bellatrix Amelia Ruby or Bellatrix Cecilia Ruby the best. If Amelia was Emilia or Aurelia, that would get my vote, but I'm just not the biggest Amelia fan, sorry, Liz. Echo Persephone is a bit too much Greek mythology for me, but I do like the options of Violet, Clara, and Wren following it. What about something like Echo Violet Persephone? Or Echo Violet Penelope?Ashley

Echo and Persephone are too gloomy for me. Echo was cursed to only repeat what others say and faded away until the echo of her voice was the only thing left, and Persephone was raped, abducted and forced to spend half the year in the underworld. I do love Persephone, myth and name, but maybe throw something lighter and more cheerful in? Penelope (as Ash suggested), Psyche, Eos (I know she was cursed to be in love all the time, but still not that bad), Elysia (elysian mysteries), Eirene, Asteria, Phoebe? I would choose the Wren combo if I had to.
I like Bellatrix Cecilia Ruby very much.

text: Our Verdict An excellent pair of on-ears for the bass-loving iPhone-owner For Weighty, punchy and exciting bass Against Nothing Reviewed on 9th November 2011 It's always refreshing when a manufacturer listens to criticism and sets out to fix things, which is what Audio-Technica has done with the ATH-WS55i headphones. The original ATH-WS55 model was designed to have lots of bass, but it was also rather overbearing and fat at the bottom. With the 55i model, though, Audio-Technica has really hit on a fine balance. The bass is still weighty, chunky and deep, but it is also more taut and less overbearing, which leads to a delivery that's full-bodied and rich, but also punchy and exciting. True, there are some fine alternatives to these headphones, including Audio-Technica's own ATH-ES55, that offer greater insight and timing, but these WS55is are an undeniably satisfying listen. The three-button, Apple-compatible remote, closed-back design and firm, noise-isolating fit add to the appeal of these fine 'phones.

Has Tracy Morgan 'Gone Overboard' With the Apologies?
Ever since Tracy Morgan shocked fans with a homophobic rant during a stand-up show in Nashville earlier this month, the '30 Rock' star has been trying to make amends. Really trying to make amends.
He has partnered with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in its efforts to combat anti-gay bullying, visited homeless gay youth, and even met with Elke Kennedy, whose 20-year-old son Sean was killed in 2007 in an anti-gay hate crime, leading some in the joke-making community to wonder when is enough enough?
"Tracy Morgan's gone overboard," 'The View' and HLN host Joy Behar said on Twitter last week. "First he apologized and did a PSA. Now he supports gay marriage. What's next, a quiet weekend with Barney Frank?"
And Joy isn't alone in her thinking. "Tracy has been highjacked by the gay movement. He did a stupid thing and now has ended up as the poster child for gay rights. This isn't a position anyone ever thought he would end up in," one NBC insider tells me unwilling to go on the record fearing that GLAAD would target him.
And don't expect Tracy's apology-athon to end any time soon. Today the comedian is traveling to Tennessee with GLAAD to issue what a member calls a "big statement."
What do you think of Tracy's efforts? Should his apology be accepted or should he continue to prove himself everyday? Tune in today at 10:00 p.m. to 'The Joy Behar Show' on HLN, where I will be discussing all the hottest topics in entertainment with Joy.

As much as I disagree with his opinion, he has the right to have it, and people should not target him over discussing it during one of his own shows.

Morgan was talking about murdering his son thats a little bit too much. He should apologize to him, but he should have to apologize for being against gay marriage that is a controversial idea. He has the right to make a stand one way or the other.

Enough already. Too much makes him look insincere.

I always thought he was a closet case to begin with.

you have got to be kidding me. now he's too apologetic? unbelievable.
- Monday 20 JuneBy Bliss
he knows gay folks have some power about 90 percent of the entertainment world is homo. he is saving his career

Morgan's remarks suggesting murder aren't funny.
He can't apologize enough.
- Monday 20 JuneBy tazshanghi1
No one asked him to do all that. He knew he crossed the line and a apology was good enough. He's trying to save face with his employer and future endorsers.

Tracy is the Man Apologize for Nothing

I think Tracy has visions of Michael Richards deja vu happening to his career.

This some bulls**t! They got this dude acting like a straight puppet "biotch" apologize for what!!!If a man can't speak his mind then what does he have left.
- Monday 20 JuneBy Rebecca
The worst part about it is that he doesn't mean it at all, he's only doing it to save his 30 Rock job and what's left of his career. Be a man and stand behind what you think and say. I think what he said was awful, but he can say what he wants, i just change the channel, everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. It's kind of funny how the tables have turned, though!!
