I have a question concerning CWM Backups. There are two folders.. "Backup" and "Blobs".
As far as I have realised, "Backup" Folder includes the requiered files to restore, while "Blobs" folder has the main "backup files" of each backup (rom,kernel, apps, data, etc).
Due to lack of storage (and for safety reasons), I want to copy and categorize backups to my pc.
Here's the thing:
Since "Blobs" folder contains files from every back up i make, how can I seperate them so i can successfully and properly categorize them?

Poachers killed record 455 S. Africa rhinos in 2012
Poachers have slaughtered 455 rhinos in South Africa so far this year, surpassing the record annual tally for 2011, the government said Tuesday.
Poachers have slaughtered 455 rhinos in South Africa so far this year, surpassing the record annual tally for 2011, the government said Tuesday.
Illegal trade in wildlife products like ivory and rhino horn must be treated as a serious crime in order to end the devastating poaching of protected species, the head of UN wildlife trade regulator CITES ...
Conservationists on Thursday called for sanctions against the world's top offender nations in the illegal ivory trade to tackle a surge in poaching of African elephants.
Rhino poaching soared by nearly half last year and appears to be increasing this year, conservationists said Tuesday, warning that the small population of animals would soon begin to shrink.
Surrounded by sculptures carved from the white tusks of African elephants—which are being slaughtered in their tens of thousands—Beijing saleswoman Chen Yu says the ivory trade is thriving.
South Africa's white rhino population will begin to decline by 2016 if the current rate of poaching continues, authorities warned on Friday, following the killing of scores of the creatures this year.
A leading British wildlife charity appealed for volunteers on Saturday to help guard its herds of black rhino which are being targeted by poachers.
Malaysia and Indonesia have struck a landmark deal to try to save the critically endangered Sumatran rhino, whose population stands at fewer than 100, the International Union for Conservation of Nature said ...
(AP)—Mozambique's rhinoceros population was wiped out more than a century ago by big game hunters. Reconstituted several years ago, the beasts again are on the brink of vanishing from the country by poachers ...
South Africa and Vietnam have agreed to exchange the names of registered hunters in a bid to stop rhino poachers who obtain hunting permits under false pretences, a spokesman said Monday.
An Australian zoo said Tuesday the birth of a southern white rhinoceros was a "sign of hope" for the species given the escalation of poaching in Africa.
Officials in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa seized almost one and a half tonnes of ivory hacked out of poached elephants, they said Wednesday, the latest in a series of seizures by Kenyan authorities.
Environmentalists on Friday hailed measures including tough anti-poaching initiatives to help boost the dwindling population of Asian rhinos agreed at an international conference in Indonesia.
The South African government today revealed that a record 1004 rhinos were killed by poachers during 2013 across the country, the equivalent of nearly three animals a day. World famous safari destination ...
One of Kenya's largest game reserves has been forced to halt plans to use drones to monitor its endangered rhinos because of a government ban, park officials said Wednesday.

Ridgewater cops Region 13 crown
WILLMAR -- One of the Ridgewater volleyball players wore her Halloween costume during the Region 13 championship match on Saturday. At least it looked like Emily Roelike was dressed as a missile the way she soared through the air and delivered 17 kills as the Lady Warriors prevailed 25-17, 25-23, 33-31.
Ridgewater advances to the NJCAA Division III tournament Nov. 14-15 in Rochester.

Re: Sound Bottle remixes everyday noises into a song
The idea of catching a sound in a bottle in order to listen to it later is one that many of us have toyed with, especially as kids. Unfortunately it isn't possible in the real world, at least not with a real bottle and nothing but a real bottle. However, Re: Sound Bottle is more than what it first appears to be, and its internal components means this particular bottle is capable of recording, remixing, and playing back sounds captured from all manner of different sources.

Sounds good: Argonne researcher represents data with music
Scientists often need to find creative ways to present data visually so others can interpret it more easily. Peter Larsen, of the Argonne National Laboratory in the U.S., decided to do something a little different: he represented microbial data with sounds. More specifically, he sonified data relating to bacteria collected from the western part of the English Channel. Read More
Software identifies bat species based on their calls
Everyone knows that it's possible to identify different species of birds by their vocalizations, but did you know that it's also possible to differentiate between different types of bats based on their echolocation calls? Well, now you do. So far, however, there hasn't been a standardized system of doing so – it's been left up to individual human listeners to decide on the closest match. That may soon no longer be the case, though, as the new online iBatsID tool comes into use. Read More
If you suspect that songs today tend to sound the same, it turns out you're right. A group of Spanish scientists looked at a huge database of songs and analyzed their trends, publishing their results in the scientific journal Nature. What they found was proof positive that, over the last few decades, songs have progressively gotten louder, decreased their pitch transitions, and generally become more homogeneous. Read More
Sensory substitution devices work by converting one type of sensory input into another – examples would be systems such as CASBLiP and EYE 21, which allow the blind to "see" by assigning sounds to images. Now, a team of researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created a similar wearable device, known as EyeMusic. It "employs pleasant musical scales to convey visual information," and could one day help the visually impaired more easily perform tasks that the rest of us take for granted. Read More
Imagine if you could accompany all those cool new moves you've just learned from Mortal Combat or reruns of Bruce Lee's finest celluloid moments with some genuine sound effects ... it would be like actually being in the game or movie. With a Dragon Grip in your Fist of Fury, that's precisely what's on offer. The joystick-like device is pre-loaded with fighting sounds inspired by the cheesy-but-classic kung fu movies of the 1970s like Enter the Dragon, that had all the kids in our neighborhood running around barefoot and shirtless with red lipstick wounds painted across their chests.

If you've ever dabbled in the creation of crazy sound effects for home movies, other-worldly audio to complement the battle sequences in a new alien gaming app or strange new loops for digital dance music, you quickly start to appreciate just what a complicated process sound design can be. What with noise generation, pulse and velocity modulation, parallel and series filters, and various other filters, oscillators and envelopes to contend with, the process can hardly be described as fun. A new sample-based synthesizer suite from iZotope seeks to change all that. Both a powerful tool for design pros and an enjoyable and easy way for newbies to dive in and experiment, Iris allows users to manipulate, tweak and layer sounds using the kind of visual editing tools you might find in graphic design packages and discover otherwise hidden sonic treasures.

Anyone living near an airport will tell you that combustion engines can be pretty noisy things. The combustion process in jet and other industrial engines can generate sound waves so powerful they can cause intense pulsations that can shake the engine and accelerate mechanical failure. Using a sponge-like material, researchers at the University of Alabama have managed to significantly quiet combustion at the source, providing the potential to make work environments safer, extend the life of valuable equipment, and maybe let those living near an airport sleep a little easier.

The thunderous punch of a bass drum is the time-honored foundation on which all of rock 'n' roll is built. That thud that hits you in the chest and moves your whole body … it taps into a deep and primal place in our subconscious. But while the crowd is enjoying the power of the bass drum amplified through huge sub-woofers, the poor drummer himself is usually hearing a poxy, paper-thin, bassless pop from a tiny onstage foldback speaker. Trying desperately to feel the bass, they often turn the onstage monitors up to ear-splitting volumes, but you just can't get that kind of low end out of small speakers. Enter the BC2 (formerly known as the BumChum) from Britain's Porter and Davies - a simple two-part system that takes the bass drum signal and literally shakes the drummer's butt with it through a vibrating stool.

I have been a student of Mira's at One Heart Yoga for almost a year. I have had Yoga experience prior to coming here, but this was a totally different experience. Mira and all of the instructors she has working in her studio are focused on making sure each student gets the best possible yoga experience. My practice has come such a long way in such a short amount of time and it has made a great impact on my overall health. I would highly recommend Mira and her Yoga studio. – Vanessa Campbell

Re: [Cheetahtemplate-discuss] More on thread safety
Expand Messages
- Does anyone really need or want this?
I really don't a need to do anything about this. If someone wants to
use a template in multiple threads simultaneously all they need to do is:
- not make any use of the .request, .response methods, etc. that we
map in the awake() method. I'm assuming that they won't be using
these with the containment approach anyway.
- not use #set global
- not muck around with the searchlist. Instead the can pass their
variable content in as arguments to a method of the Cheetah generated
method. The methods are re-entrant.

(introduction, getting started). I also put dummy text in the
Developers' Guide and Beginners' Guide explaining what our goals for
these manuals are.
Currently I'm working on chapter 3 (how it works) which is an overview
of the Template object. This is one of the most dense chapters
info-wise, so it will take some time to update. Then I'll be going
through each chapter in order. Then (after all that) I'll be adding
some examples.
I guess this tarball is the first to include the updates to the Webware
chapter I completed a week or so ago.
What's this prdownloads site?

Conduit 2 to be better than the Conduit
High Voltage, the developer behind Wii FPS The Conduit has been promising that the second game will be much better.
Writing on Sega's community blog, High Voltage's chief creative officer, Eric Nofsinger, promised that they had learned from their mistakes and The Conduit 2 would be a different story.
Nosfinger writes: "With the first Conduit we spent a lot of time establishing a brand new first person shooter engine, with advanced technology for the hardware, while creating a brand new IP at the same time. It really was a lot for the team to handle at one time."
While with the first game it seems they had bitten off more than they could chew, this time round Nosfinger promises to make The Conduit 2 the game The Conduit should have been.
Nosfinger finishes off: "We're doing whatever it takes to make Conduit 2 the very best that it can be because we love the game and our audience. There's a lot more that we still want to accomplish with this game before it ships, and fortunately we still have time to execute on our initial goal to build a game that fully realizes our vision of the Conduit world. We truly hope when you finally get the chance to play the game that you like what you play, hear, and see."
We hope that they can pull it off this time around.

600+ FIREFIGHTER Terms Quiz
Firefighting and firefighters have become ubiquitous around the world, wildland areas to urban areas, and on board ships.
According to Merriam Webster's Dictionary, the English word "firefighter" has been used since at least 1903.[1] In recent decades it has become the preferred term, replacing the older "fireman," since many women serve as firefighters, and also because the term "fireman" can have other meanings, including someone who sets or stokes fires - exactly the opposite of the firefighting role. (Wikipedia)

Just like starting over
Replenishing defensive side is not unprecedented, and very managable
Updated: March 4, 2013, 7:35 AM ETBy David Ching | DawgNation
ATHENS, Ga. -- When Todd Grantham says that Georgia has eight or nine starters returning on defense, he's not exactly fibbing, but that number certainly exaggerates the level of experience that his rebuilding group will have in 2013.
Yes, players such as Devin Bowman, Connor Norman and Chase Vasser earned a start here and there, but a more accurate count is that Georgia has four regular starters returning in cornerback Damian Swann (14 starts in 2012), inside linebacker Amarlo Herrera (nine), ...

Are you quilting this weekend? June 22-24
I am off to a quilt class this morning. Jacquie Gering is the teacher. Our guild's quilt show is this weekend.
Are you quilting this weekend?
Linda OH
Not me. I'm going to the beach with my friends. I haven't been near my sewing machine in several weeks.
Not likely.
Doing some house painting these past 2 weeks.
As my Mom would say.....everything here is "in slings".
Haven't been near the sewing machine in quite a while.
Hopefully, I'll get back to it next week.
Take it easy, Donna! Give it time to heal!
"...can't possibly have just the right shade of red." LOL - I KNOW that's right!
I'm just hoping to do some fabric sorting this weekend. I would love to see the tops of my cutting tables again. I know they are under there. If I could do that, and sort some of the clutter by project, I would be a very happy quilter.
I don't usually like to commit...don't like to feel like a failure. LOL But I bought some quilting thread for my wallhanging last night and I have two blocks cut out for Lotto and I have to get a block done for another exchange so I am planning on it.
However, first thing in the morning DH and I are buying pastries and coffee at the market and heading to the beach with our chairs to read until it gets too hot. Lovely :)
Bev, that sounds wonderful - pastries, beach, hubby, and reading!
I should dance with my vacuum and then I'm continuing to reconstruct the pinwheel blocks from a rescued quilt top. Might have the quilt top put back together by the end of the weekend - maybe!
Oh yeah...........somehow my hands know what to do without my brain having to kick in, and half an hour quilting is a good way to keep me out of trouble when I get up, until the caffeine gets into the system. Laughing out loud about the right shade of red. It's always the shade I DON'T have onhand. How true, how true. Dancing with the vacuum????? LOL again. I do kung-fu with my vacuum.
I finished my Quilt U top last night. This morning I made a block from the leftover pieces (I think I'll use it in the backing).
This afternoon I mowed the grass and swept the back porch, then put the backing together for a twin size quilt and got it loaded on the frame.
Shoulder's feeling a lot better today!
Tonight I planned out a new quilt top that'll be made of (36) 15-inch blocks, using a modified log cabin block, all done in blues except for some green sashing. I've got my fabrics picked out, so after grocery shopping and putting together a lasagna in the morning, I can start cutting and sewing! It'll be good to get to my sewing machine again. It's been weeks! Each block will have a 7" square in the lower lefthand corner, and use 8 strips, all of which will be 2" wide when done. I just hope I get to do some sewing tomorrow, I miss it!
For tonight, I think I'll hunt down some quilt tops I've finished and stored away. I may get inspired and finish one tonight. Wouldn't that be productive?
Is this sick, or what? I'm a bit of an insomniac and even when I'm not quilting (or especially when I'm not quilting a lot) I lay in bed and go through quilt block patterns in my head until I fall asleep. So the answer to are you quilting this weekend, is yes.......even if it's mentally. Today when I went to feed my chickens, I'm mentally sizing up the big wooden coop to judge if I could paint some panels in quilt patterns if I'd have enough room to hang them or would the windows get in the way. LOL.
"Dancing with the vacuum" - I love that! Do ya think that will make it easier to drag it out?? Calliope, hey, they paint quilt blocks on barns, why not chicken coops, too? I've been working on that UFO I dragged out of the closet, long abandoned and completely forgotten. I've finished zig-zagging the elements that were already on it, now I've got to come up with some flowers, fruits and birds to put on it. At least I have inside hobbies to work on during this tropical depression lurking out in the gulf, I offered to teach hubby to sew, he declined. He's out on the front porch staring at the grass that is already out of control and will be up to his eyeballs before it dries out enough for him to mow. He might have to get the bush-hog out when it finally stops raining around here. Our seasonal pond is filling up fast, and the dog delights in galloping through it over and over, yesterday I guess her collar got so wet it stretched and she lost it, tag and all. We'll probably find it after we buy her another one. We tried to get her to tell us where she lost it, she won't.
Rita, I love the way you write! I chuckled my way through your whole post. I can relate to your story about your dog staying silent regarding the whereabouts of her collar. I have two cats, and every day it's a matter of "yes sir" and "no ma'am" coming from me. A couple of days ago I found her on the kitchen table and told her she didn't belong up there. Stella's reply? "Wha'e'er." That brings her list of words up to 5 now... ***sigh***
I am going to get to work on my new quilt project this afternoon, but first I'm going to enjoy the fruits of my morning labors. Here's a picture of what I just pulled out of the even...
Dan, that looks much better than my lunch! DH brought home burgers because I didn't want to stop quilting to fix anything.
The class on Friday was great even though I was way out of my comfort zone. I like things to match and be straight and even. The class was called "Not Your Grandmother's Log Cabin". She showed several versions of her log cabin block and I chose to make the Wonky Half Log Cabin (Chevron).
On Saturday I went to Sauder Village's Fiber Arts Festival with three friends. We always have a good time when we are together.
Hope everyone had a great weekend too!
Linda OH
Today I'm dancin' with the vacuum - I've got family coming over for dinner tonight. I'm just taking a break with some iced tea and a sit down at the computer. Earlier this morning I did a quick neaten-up of front yard and swept the cut grass off the sidewalks.
Saturday I took the Viking over to Greensboro for her tune-up and did some other errands while I was there. Also picked up my grandparents' old clock from repair but alas, it's not chiming well today so I'll call my clock man for help.
Wish I could sit down and sew with my Featherweight now, but must get in the kitchen and get dinner started.
msmeow, I almost did that...lol! I love crockpot lasagna, but decided to go tradional today. Since lunch, I've cut approximately 7 yards of fabric into 2.5" strips to be used in my latest project. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do any sewing because now I have to put away all the fabric which has accumulated on my sewing desk, and that always distracts me because of all the "new" fabrics I find. Lol, who would think we'd have so much in our stashes that we'd find material we'd forgotten was even there? I'm sure that never happens to anyone else, right? Lol!
I've been cleaning the sewing room and sorting / folding / fondling fabric all day. Have I found fabric I had forgotten about? Of course! Have I found scraps of fabric I used in some of my very first quilts 20 years ago? Of course!
I realized, as I was going through the stacks and bins, that I have a LOT of projects for which I've already purchased fabric and a LOT of ideas for quilts that are still strictly in my head. So I started filling out an index card for each project. That should help me stay organized and was the perfect task for a weekend when I didn't feel motivated to actually sew. I have index cards that are gridded instead of ruled so I can even sketch the quilt pattern on the card.
I set some priorities as I realized I have deadlines for a couple of the projects. I have a potluck luncheon at work near the end of July so I have to get the insulated casserole carrier done by then. And an outdoor jazz event in October so the picnic quilt has to be done by then.
I think I'm ready to start sewing!!!
Kate, it sounds like you've been busy! I was just cleaning up a bit here in the office, putting piles of fabric in boxes so I could find my way to my machine, and I found a huge stack of blocks I've collected over the years from the Seeds-n-Stitches group. I've already sewn some of them together, as you can see in the rough composite picture I'm posting, but I've still got another 40 to use. In the s-n-s group, we have a standard size of an unfinished 12.5" block, so I can easily make this a reversible quilt, or create two of them. Who knows what I'll do in the end, but it's great to find these treasures!

Traveling there soon enough and seeing as the newest thread about breweries in the area is a few years old, I'm seeing what all you guys recommend checking out while I'm there.
I refuse to go to the Bud plant but I'm willing to hit up any other breweries/brewpubs while I'm there. Any ideas? What's the best brewery down there?
I may be a bit late, but four hands is one of my favorites. They make some stellar american style ales. Civil life is also a great one with some more english influence. Square one makes some fantastic beer and amazing food and im told they have delicious wiskey too. People tell me that urban chestnut is good but I have yet to taste a good one... and I went to the brewery and got a flight of all of them and none were finished. They stay toward a more german tradition. Their beer garden is really nice. Six row also failed to impress. They had a selection of solid, however unremarkable beers. Nothing bad but nothing I had to have again. If you are looking for a good beer bar nicks pub has great food and 95 beers on draft, the bulk being local or at least Missouri beers. Their service is great during lunch, less than stellar in the evening and bordering on terrible at night, though. And only two of the available bar maids know their beer. Good luck.
afterthought- Alpha brewing on washington is also phenomenal.
No that's perfect. We decided to push our trip back but I'll reference it when we actually go. Can't wait to try some of your guys' microbrews.
Thanks again.
You are very welcome. PM me if you want some company. We may or may not be able to depending on where the kids are at the time, but its worth a shot.
50 miles South on US 63 from Rolla MO, Houston is a small town, in the Ozark Foothills. There is a micro brewery about 5 miles out of town, off MO hwy 17 called Piney River Brewery. The beer is available in 16 oz cans at many of the regional liquor stores, the brewery is open for visitors on Sat only from 2pm to 7 pm. Good Dark beers with regional flavors of Black Walnut, lighter Ales and IPA's.
In Springfield MO, there is the Mothers Brewery in the College section of town. There tasting room is open Thurs thru Sat.
The suburb of Kirkwood has the Kirkwood Station brewery. They are usually pouring 7 or 8 different beers and have good food til 11:00p daily. You can also catch a band there about 5 day/week.
There is Morgan Street brewery on Laclede's Landing downtown north of the Arch, though I haven't sampled their beer in a while. And Cathedral Square is another new brewery in the area.
Ofallon brewery in Ofallon
Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
I've been disappointed in Morgan Street every time I've been there. The beer is unremarkable and the tap lines are dirty. Every beer has always had a mushroomy flavor. Just trying to give you a heads up.
Can't believe no one mentioned the best, Schlafly. Their restaurant, The Bottleworks, is amazing. Then there is Perennial, Square One, Alpha, 2nd Shift.

Savannah Rose
Reviewed by
Alicia Sondhi
When Savannah Rose, the young protagonist bullied by classmates in this fantasy tale, offers to help a fairy in distress, she is entangled in an adventure complete with magic, intrigue, and even a royal kidnapping.
Savannah soon realizes that Peri, the seemingly kind fairy that whisks her off to another planet called Justia, is actually quite bossy and rude and doesn't seem to care much for Savannah's wishes at all. Peri is convinced that Savannah may be a long lost heir to the royal family of Justia. By bringing Savannah to the queen, she hopes to get the help she and her three fairy friends need to return to their own land. Although Peri's plan seems to be on track, the queen suddenly goes missing, and Savannah's status as an heir puts the young girl in danger. Savannah, the fairies, and those loyal to the queen must come together to find the queen before the monarchy is taken over by her villainous brother.
Overall, Sandra Robey's greatest strength is her storytelling. Although the plot of Savannah Rose starts off a bit slowly, Robey's focus on the circumstances surrounding the queen's kidnapping draw the reader in, and the race to protect Savannah and find the queen give the latter portion of the book a strong sense of excitement.
Robey's approach to her characters is particularly interesting. To introduce secondary characters, she often dedicates an entire chapter, switching to that character's narrative voice and remaining in third person. While this system of character introduction provides valuable background information, in some cases it feels completely unnecessary.
The book's most significant weakness is the underdevelopment of its main character. Savannah is essentially always in a passive role, and when she finally shows some development, it feels contrived.
While giving characters multiple layers of personality often adds depth in fiction, in this particular work it simply makes characters, particularly Peri, feel unrealistic or unlikable, although this is not the case with every secondary character.
The target audience for Savannah Rose is nine- to twelve-year-old readers, especially those who have an interest in fairy tales. Despite faltering on some elements of execution, Robey has created a world that may inspire readers to seek out the next installment, should her plans for a sequel come to fruition.

The Jewish dietary laws prohibit Jews from eating any food products derived from animals that do not have both split hooves and chew their cud. It is not an uncommon assumption that Jews are forbidden, as well, to touch objects made from non-kosher animals. However, the fact of the matter is that if a Jewish football fan came upon an actual pigskin football (originally the game was played with an inflated pig bladder) that Jew would have no issue picking it up and taking a toss.
In the early twentieth century, one of the critical political battles was the fight for women's right to vote. Among the suffragist organizations of Great Britain, there arose a unique organization known as The Jewish League for Woman Suffrage (JLWS).
As few members of the British aristocracy have converted to Judaism, the conversion of Lord George Gordon* (1751 – 1793) was a matter of note in British society.
To much of the American populace, tonight [Halloween] is a night of goblins and ghouls, vampires and witches. These monsters are actually characters found in old myths and fairytales.
"It was taught: There is no measure [of reward] for visiting the sick. What is meant by, 'there is no measure for visiting the sick?' Rabbi Joseph thought to explain that: Its reward is unlimited…. Rabbi Abba son of Rabbi Hanina said: He who visits an invalid takes away a sixtieth of his pain" (Nedarim 39b).
On 13 MarCheshvan, 1960, Rabbi Haim Nahum Effendi passed away in Cairo, and thousands of people – Jews, Muslims and Christians – attended his funeral.
At the end of the patriarch Jacob's life, Joseph brings his sons to his father for a blessing. This scene, recorded in Genesis 48, includes a seemingly odd statement by Jacob: "And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died in the land of Canaan on the road…and I buried her there in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem" (Genesis 48:7).
Deuteronomy 16:18 states: "…You shall not take a bribe, for bribery blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts just words."
It is a fact of history that students have frequently been at the center of radical movements, often under the influence of a teacher or mentor. This was the case of Rabbi Yonah of Geronah, who, following the lead of his teacher Rabbi Solomon of Montpellier, passionately called for a ban on the philosophical work of Maimonides, The Guide to the Perplexed. In fact, Rabbi Yonah is generally regarded as the instigator of the 1233 Inquisitional book burning of Maimonides' work.
Some people might find it surprising that the sages discussed certain "best practices" for getting dressed. For instance, the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, an abridged compendium of the laws enumerated in the full Code of Jewish Law, states: "You should be careful not to put on two articles of clothing at one time, this causes forgetfulness." (For instance, finish buttoning your shirt before putting on your pants lest you get distracted and leave the house dishevelled.)

Anyone else make THESE lists??
I have always kept a "favorites" list but I wish I had started a "Dislike" List as well to see how my tastes have evolved. Does anyone do this? If so, what names are on them if you feel comfortable sharing?
For example, I know I used to despise Henry & Lucy but now I love them!
I'm curious as to how I will feel in the future about names like Esther & Georgia or Walter & Dashiell < not my cup of tea right now...Expecting #1 May 2015

I sort of do this. I used to keep a "dislikes" list, but haven't updated it in a while; now my "dislikes" list is mostly mental. I think it's grown, unfortunately; I rarely seem to change my opinion on things.
On my "dislikes" list (excluding broader categories like 'boys' names on girls' and 'violent boys' names': ) Harriet, Scarlett, Iris, Ruby, Wendy, Poppy, Willa, Ryder, Gideon, Ethan...it goes on.Gwen

I don't keep an actual "I hate these names" list, lol, but there are a general few I remember hating for as long as I can remember:
Scarlett (most of them aren't bad names, even; I just irrationally hate them! And I even love Charlotte and Emilia, so you'd think I'd find Scarlett and Amelia to be more appealing, in general...)
I remember when I first joined name forums, I've hated Vivienne, Madeleine (for some reason, I had an awful association with the name that I can't even remember any more... I think somehow I tied it to my depression and couldn't let it go. I love it now, though!), Esme, Isla, Isabelle (go figure, lol), Charlotte, etc., but now I love a lot of those! I'm still not a HUGE Vivienne fan, but I can appreciate it. I think Vivi's adorable, and I'd be happy to see someone else use it. At one point I hated Aurora and Magdalena, as well, and I like them now... My style has just gotten much less trendy and stereotypical teen-mom ish as the years have gone by. I used to love Bailey and Emmerson for girls, now I love them for guys. I like a few unisex names, like Hadley, Delaney, Addison, Harper, Jocelyn, Greer, etc., but I probably wouldn't use them. The way I used to track which names I used to hate but love now was through the first name site I joined; recently, though, it was revamped and they closed the old site and opened a new one, and got rid of all the archived posts. So I can no longer go back and see what I had commented on those "what names do you hate" threads and such. There's very few names I dislike in general (with the exception of generally disliking, for the most part, really trendy made up names and also unisex names on girls), and that's pretty much the top 5 I listed at the top of the page. And that generally doesn't change.Ashley

Five tips on getting consumers to follow your brand on social media channels.
Contrary to what many pundits espouse, email is far from dead. It is a very personal channel that is effective in raising the level of engagement with consumers. Here are some tips on getting consumers to "like" or follow your brand on social media channels even more.
Start with the signup page. Tell them who you are on your signup page(s). Make it easy to find your social media links by putting them on your email subscription page. If you can, and if your consumer is willing, facilitate the email signup via social media. The Wall Street Journal does a nice job in this respect. Privacy issues may stop you from using the Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter sign-in to create an email account, and a few financial institutions have learned this the hard way.
Don't ask them to become a friend. Instead, make it a value exchange by featuring a discussion, asking a question, or even offering resources (this could be access to a sales page, white papers, or webinars). Using a certain level of intrigue and reciprocation is much more effective in obtaining new signups. Now, when consumers show up at your social site, be tactful and nurture them just like you would with your email marketing program.
Make it mobile friendly. With more than 40 percent of consumers checking their email on mobile devices, make the mobile connection easy. You can do this by optimizing your content for mobile, reducing the content, and by having an interactive exchange with your consumer. Ask for feedback on merchandise, solicit opinions on a column, and add mobile surveys. The key is to give people the ability to interact via mobile devices.
Send a socially focused email message. Run a campaign each month where your primary call to action is to invite your consumer to join your social media following. When you do this, don't take them to an empty discussion board. Instead think about getting your consumer into a discussion that is already well underway. Hold back on the offer to sell to the consumer within the email or even on your social media site as soon as they get there. Instead, use a content engagement strategy to get them there, get a dialogue going, and then make the offer. This step-by-step approach works very well.
Reward via exclusivity. Create special emails for your social media club by making exclusive offers to your insiders first. In fact, consider making the offer to your insider group and then seek their help in getting the word out to their group of friends. Prior to sending the email message, let people know that it is coming via social media. It is very easy to segment your email list, so why not share your message with your social club first?
SES San Francisco will include some very good content on using email and social media to drive up engagement. We even have a workshop scheduled on how you can drive extraordinary engagement. Hope to see you there.
