We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question. |
There are 3 JS libraries that I currently use: Prototype, jQuery and MooTools. Prototype and jQuery are the most widely used. jQuery and MooTools are the most lightweight. MooTools has a nice feature on their site that allows you to build a custom compressed .js file with only the modules you need, making the lightest, depending on what you're doing. jQuery has a much higher fan base, and better support because of it. Of the 3, I'd recommend jQuery, but it's probably not a bad idea to take a look at all the options available. |
Also see question What JavaScript library would you choose for a new project and why? It seems that jQuery has been growing the most recently. (See this presentation, slide 4) |
mooTools is my favorite as well. Their interface allows you to take as much or as little as you like, so if you would like to add more tricks to your tool bag down the line, it's pretty easy to do so. |
I use jQuery - it is simple and small, and best of all: Very easy :) |
I'm a big fan of the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Library. It has a good set of DOM manipulation stuff, and a pretty solid widget framework. Plus, you can mix and match what you want to be using. |
I prefer JQuery. It has good documentation also.JQuery |
I also like jQuery because of the powerful selector function "$" and want to provide a link to an alternative documentation: Visual jQuery |
Here is a comparison chart that I used to help evaluate some of the various libraries out there. It is by no means lists every feature of every library, but gives you a good overview to narrow down your choices to what frameworks you should dig further into to see if it meets your needs. |
I tried prototype and scriptaculous first but then switched to jquery and there is no looking back. If you want nice user interface then YUI is good, but jQuery is simple one in my opinion. |
Try DOMAssistant. It's only 7 KB gzipped, is really fast and has Unicode support. |
Personally, when I was doing client-side work, I fell in love with JQuery, which has a 15k version. There's a slight learning curve, but it's very very slick. |
jQuery is very slick and very easy to learn. I have used Moo in the past for some basic DOM manipulation. It's got less of a footprint but less functionality. The best choice for you definitely depends on your requirements. |
The base YUI code -- yahoo-dom-event.js -- is 31KB and works very nicely. You get all sorts of nice event handling & DOM manipulation, and it's very easy to then add on the more complex -- and heavier -- stuff if and when you need it. |
Just a suggestion, but I would look for a framework that has the features you desire and not worry too much about the size, within reason. Most modern frameworks like PrototypeJS or JQuery are not that big and have minimized versions (spaces removed, etc). Additionally, you should have your site configured for caching of these libraries. The only time a user will need to download the library is on the first visit, or any visit after they have cleared their browser cache. When naming the library file(s), make sure to use a unique file name. For example, name your library based on the version of the library. When you need to upgrade to a new version of the library, just reference the new file name (version) from the relevant pages. This will allow you to cache these files without a short-term expiration date. There are a lot of other caching techniques you might use to get around library file size and improve performance. I would recommend "High Performance Web Sites", ISBN: 0596529309. While all the information in the book can be found online the book does a nice job of collecting the information you need in one place, and glues the various concepts together (I have not financial interest in this book). |
Whatever you choose, consider letting Google host it for you: |
This question is really a duplicate of this question (I think). My answer on that question was as follows (and applies here as well): You will get a million answers here. The short one is: there are several, not a single one. They are all different in some ways and similar in others, and, in general, none of them are poor choices. The main frameworks that I would recommend are (in alphabetical order so as not to show any bias):
Each of these have different styles, different communities, and different focuses. Which one you should choose is mostly a matter of matching these frameworks' style with your own. Spend some time with the tutorials and demos of each and pick the one that makes the most sense for you. As a disclaimer, I'll point out that I'm a developer for MooTools, and wrote a book on how to use it. I wouldn't say that MooTools is better than any of these other frameworks; only different. |
I use Prototype pretty extensively. The default package is 28 KB, whereas jQuery is 90ish*. *Uncompressed |
You can pack any JavaScript code to make it more lightweight, so the question might come down to which do you prefer? I go for Prototype - there is a version available called protopacked which I think comes in at about 20 KB. |
MooTools is pretty hot. It's getting a bit bigger these days (the base is 60 KB) so that might be out of your reach. But if you're really just after basic DOM, jQuery would probably be ideal. |
Another vote for jQuery here. Fast, light, and the more you learn it, the faster and more concise your code will be. |
I'd recommend MooTools :-)
I really like the readability of its code. |
I've rolled my own for years, but when playing with others stay far far away from dojo + jquery. I have nothing but good stuff to say about a combination of mootools (best js ani I've seen) + the gui or yui kits |
I agree with JQuery as the light, extensible, powerful option. My company is currently using Extjs, which is massive and way more complex for what we are doing. Extjs is great if you need to make a quick site with no designers involved (it comes with all the graphics and styles for creating anything you need) but it's about 6MB and ends up making simple tasks more cumbersome :) If I could do it all over, which may happen, I'd use JQuery. |
jQuery is very good. What would be very cool is if we could add our framework to a list of frameworks that are being suggested here and allow others to vote on the one that they like best or use - i.e. a dynamic poll/survey. |
I agree with Akselsson: DOMAssistant seems to be precisely what you asked for -- lightweight DOM interaction framework to abstract away browser differences. Test it for yourself... |
I like jQuery because it is lightweight but extremely powerful. There is also excellent documentation and tutorials to get you started. |
YUI is too big and complex for my tastes. I used to be a Prototype fanboi, but it's lost its luster to me as I've come to use jQuery in new projects. What I like about jQuery is the consistent mental model: find something, act on it. I liked jQuery enough that I built a Dashboard widget for offline access to the docs: jQuery Reference Widget |
jQuery is your best option if you are doing small enhancements, since it's the most widely used framework, and you'll get plenty of feedback from other users. However, I am not a jQuery user myself because I already develop RIAs using Ext. Because of that, I use Ext-core (a subset of Ext) because the framework has better OO design, and it provides the same basic functionality as jQuery (event handling, DOM manipulation, Ajax). http://www.extjs.com/products/core/ I've never used Prototype because they augment |

Summer Solstice Century - "just as challenging as the Death Ride"
Shannon Morrow
Sports Editor
The Summer Solstice Century is an epic bicycle ride held in Quincy each summer that features a grueling 137-mile loop and 13,400 vertical feet of climbing.
While most recreational cyclists wouldn't want to attempt such a ride, for the armies of intrepid cyclists who love a big challenge, the Summer Solstice offers a delightfully painful test of endurance and willpower.
A very similar ride is the Death Ride, held just south of Lake Tahoe two weeks after the Summer Solstice Century.
Every year, the Death Ride attracts almost 3,000 cyclists to Markleeville and makes more than $200,000. Registrations are awarded on a lottery basis, as more than 6,000 people attempt to participate.
The Summer Solstice, by comparison, has traditionally attracted around 200 cyclists, but it's looking like that number is about to go up.
Beginning this year, the Summer Solstice Century has been repackaged to better represent the nature of the ride, and is now being marketed to the thousands of cyclists who are turned away from the Death Ride each year.
Many cyclists say the Summer Solstice is just as challenging as the Death Ride, or even more so, because of the extreme heat encountered while climbing out of the valley after crossing Lake Oroville.
Last year, only 40 percent of the cyclists who attempted the full route of the Summer Solstice were successful, and several said they weren't aware how difficult the ride was.
"After completing the ride last year, myself and some other riders felt like this ride needed to reinvent itself," said Kristie Fox, who owns Sierra Health and Fitness Revolution in Quincy. "The ride needed a more interesting, aggressive, modern image in order to remarket and try and get new riders."
Fox explained the intent in remarketing the Summer Solstice was to reach a different type of rider.
"The old image did not accurately convey the reality of the ride experience, therefore the ride was not reaching the correct market," said Fox.
With a head full of ideas, Fox approached Sarah Metzler of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce to discuss ways to help the ride reach its full potential.
The first part of the makeover was a new logo to better portray the ride. The chamber held a logo art contest, and two artists were chosen to create new images.
Juliet Beer of Julz Graphics created a skeleton image under the direction of the Quincy Chamber that is being used for shirts and stickers, and Mike Saari did a colored-pencil drawing that will be distributed as a poster in goody bags.
Along with the new artwork, Fox felt that renaming each of the distances would better represent the ride, so she held a naming contest.
"The Crucible" was chosen as the name for the 137-mile loop, in reference to the heat encountered. "Death is the easy way out" was designated as the slogan.
The century's other four routes were also given names and slogans to reflect the new overall theme of the ride.
Next, Fox decided to make the ride more interesting and fun by holding a contest for the best rest stop. Volunteers are encouraged to have a theme for their locations and dress up in costumes.
One group is already planning a Scottish rest stop, complete with kilts, bagpipes and dancing.
Another big addition to this year's ride is an after party with a live band and beer, a massage therapist and other local vendors.
"By making the ride a more fun overall event, we hope to attract riders who are looking for a destination ride, something they can turn into a vacation," said Fox.
Another major way Fox is working to improve the whole experience of the ride is by helping participants simply finish.
To give cyclists their best chances, Fox has revamped the nutritional options at the rest stops to include quick-energy foods and drinks, and popsicles and ice at the hottest parts of the ride.
The crux of the ride where most of the drop-outs occur is the climb from Lake Oroville to Brush Creek, which includes the entire stretch of Bald Rock Road.
To get participants past the most difficult part, Fox has added two unmanned aid stations and enlisted the help of volunteers on bicycles.
These mounted support personnel will ride up and down the course to distribute food and hydration, provide mechanical assistance and give encouragement.
The Summer Solstice will also have more SAG support this year, with one vehicle at each rest stop. More than 100 volunteers will be on hand the day of the ride.
With the new marketing and increased support, the number of riders at the Summer Solstice is expected to grow considerably over the next few years, especially once word gets out among the cycling community.
"We find that grassroots is huge," said Metzler, who has spent the past year developing the Summer Solstice along with Fox. "We want to grow the ride by at least 50 percent every year."
This is the seventh annual Summer Solstice Century. Soper-Wheeler sponsored the first four years and Forest Foundation was the organizer for the fifth year.
The Quincy chamber took over the ride last year, with the help of Soper-Wheeler. This year marks the first time partnering with Fox to help invigorate the event.
"Kristie's contributions have been stellar," said Metzler. "I don't know what I'd do without her."
The pair acknowledged that significant growth could take a few years, but they feel the ground work has been laid to take the ride in a new direction.
With all the positive changes, the Summer Solstice Century could eventually attract as many cyclists as the Death Ride, which is in its 30th year.
Many cyclists love the loop characteristic of the Summer Solstice, whereas the Death Ride route consists of out-and-backs.
"The loop aspect is huge," said Fox. "It's what differentiates our ride."
Future plans include a concierge service to tie in local hospitality and businesses, including lodging in the Graeagle area.
This year's Summer Solstice Century will take place Saturday, June 26, 2010. For more information, visit summersolsticecentury.org.

I love this light. It was easy to install and looks great. It's different than what I found in stores and it provides a lot of light.
Two of these were installed in a spa-style master bath with espresso maple cabinetry and warm gray marble. These fit the space perfectly without too much bling or shine. The lighting, combined with two recessed lights were an excellent combination for this long, narrow dressing area portion of the bath. No halos around globes and the light is true colors when using clear halogen bulbs. Client expressed that she no longer needed a lighted makeup mirror and that she felt more confident that her makeup looked better because she has more accurate lighting. Easy installation and true stainless steel coloring made for soft contemporary classic styling.
This light fixture looks good when installed. It is easy to install, and provides enough light with the 4 60 Watt bulbs. I think they should have included the bulbs in the package but then, it says that it does not. I am happy with the ease of install, the looks and plenty of light it provides.
These lights are really striking, and they give off a lot of light. I really like them now that they're installed. However, they were difficult to install because you have to install the back plate while holding the entire fixture. It took two of us to install, and it was difficult to keep it level (especially given that we discovered our mirror below was not installed level). Overall, these look really nice and helped give our bathroom an updated feel.
I looked at this product for awhile because the black stems in the picture are deceiving. The whole light fixture is the same nickel color and there is no black on this at all. I received two for the master bath and they are positively beautiful and unique. My friend was blown away and although she said she had never thought about lights before, after seeing these, she looks at peoples lights in their houses all the time. These fixtures take up to 60 watt bulbs. I place two 40 watts in the center and two 60 watts on the outside. This cuts down on glare which I have problems with since I had cataract surgery, and it works just fine. Also, since these lights face up instead of down like my last ones, the glare is not bad at all for my particular situation.
The lighting is perfect and the electrician had no problem installing it. I love the way it looks and am extremely happy with this purchase.
It's well made and very nice looking and easy to install everyone who has come over compliments the light It was part of our remodel
I was doing a small full bath improvement. This light is very nice looking on the wall. Gives off great light. The bulbs were a bit of a dilemma but I finally got the right ones. They are just smaller then I thought. Well worth the money.
This is the only light over my bathroom sink and it is great. Love the modern look and the brightness it provides.
These were easy to install and are perfect for the space.

The Cheese is a LIE!!!
Sweet topical print! Congrats, Bassanimation!
:O front AND back?? no waiiiii
Oooo...nice use of the back of the shirt! Woot's gettin' fancy.
*Squeak* ADORABLE!
This shirt is a lie, front and back print? Awesome!
Can someone help decode the message? It's a puzzle and a later-levels-of-Portal kind of puzzle, at that.
Mice playing Portal?
A little portal battle between shirt.woot and teefury I see.
The perfect shirt for Portal fans. Of course, the real fans aren't looking at shirts right now, they're all still playing Portal 2.
what no cake?
So, will this outlive the cake's record?
I is so confused... I feel as if I should know what this is in reference to, but I have no idea, and I have no idea how to read the write up... HELP!
So how does the artwork go through the shirt?
bought. Easy choice, love it.
The writeup just blew my mind. Now I can't click "I want one." Way to go, Shirt.Woot. ;)
don't forget your friendly companion cheese cube.
The write-up reminded me of "House of Leaves".
Sweet, a Portal shirt just in time for the release of Portal 2! If only I could be wearing it right now while I play...
Portal 2 release is midnight tonight. Very timely, Woot. I'm gonna go pick it up in two hours (West coast is BEST coast)I am considering buying this shirt as celebration of this holiday!
UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm so tired of solid shirts. I swore this site off... if I give in now, I'm going to end up with 30 more shirts in my closet. I want this one so badly though.
♫The Cheese is a lie. The Cheese is a lie. Hi-Ho the dairy-oh, The Cheese is a lie. Mouse in the portal. Mouse in the portal. What happened to the cake? Mouse in the portal. ♫
The only problem is that "Liederkranz" is pronounced Lee-der-kranz. Other than that, this shirt gives me endless nerdgasms.
For those who don't know This link explains the significance of the shirt. Portal 2 came out just a few minutes ago.
I demand a walkthrough on today's write up. Please.
lonelypond wrote:what no cake?
Which is all any non Portal players(for instance, me) know about the game, I think. Cute mouse, though. Is it winning?
Aww, man. I can tell this writeup is brilliant, but I'm just too tired to decode it right now. Too bad we didn't get any "tutorial levels" on Portalized Reading, we were just dropped right into the final stage.
Since SOMEONE'S gonna ask, this is Liederkranz, and this is the reference.
Dang it! I don't play Portal but I'm so tempted to get this shirt...
chrisprender wrote:The perfect shirt for Portal fans. Of course, the real fans aren't looking at shirts right now, they're all still playing Portal 2.
As a portal fan I was a little sad that it didn't have the mouse half on one side of the portal and half on the other. His back feet are lost in between portals which can't happen in Portal.
Where are his back legs? They should be sticking out of one of the portals. A puzzle solving portal hover mouse sounds like a scary thing.
Does anyone get the mouse in a maze looking for the cheese reference? I do.
Dag, what're the chances of Portal shirts here and at Teefury on the same day? Ah well, nice artwork Bass!
Cute and awesome!! And front and back is just that much cooler. Big congrats Bassanimation!:D
Want some wine with your companion cheese?
CaTOS is watching.
Oh, woot, you tease! I tear my eyes away from Portal 2 for one minute and now I'm rushing to buy a shirt before the other 58k people currently playing Portal 2 see it. Seriously, the game has been out for less than an hour and there are already 58,000 people playing it!! http://www.aperturescience.com/glados@home/

JuliaSmells AwfulI have used tonnes and tonnes of different self tanners, and this one has got to be one of the worste smelling. It makes you look super tanned when you apply it but when u shower it comes off and you just have a subtle tan. It is also very streaky, and turns your palms dark dark brown and its very very hard to wash this off your hands after you apply it unless u wear gloves...posted Mar 15, 2008Link to this post
RondaMissouriBest Out ThereAs a woman who just turned 40 and finding that the ageing process is not getting easier, I am trying to use more sun screen and stay out of the sun. I have tried MANY other self tanners and Fake Bake lotion by far is the best. Its thick to put on and doesnt rub in as easy but I add a little lotion in with it, mix it up in the palm of my hand and then its so much easier to spread not to mention, youre adding lotion to your skin to help with moisturizing.I did this once a day for about 3 days and I am now the color I want to be for the summer!posted Mar 15, 2008Link to this post
KateGives Great Chocolate Colour And Extra Dry, Flaky And Super Sensetive Skin! :(I loved the colour but I hated that all my body got VERY dry and flaky! I did everything right but then the day after I couldnt even apply a moisturizer because my skin got so sensetive it hurts :( It lasts long, the colour is nice but it made my skin dry, flaky + it wasnt that good as I expected..I bought the full set and the only thing I really liked was the skin smoothie. thats the only fake bake thing ill ever buy again. not the tanning lotion because it took me about 2 weeks to recover for my skin. and Im not pure white. my skin is in medium colour and normally it isnt sensetive. I guess this one just had too much chemicals inside. wont buy again.posted Mar 5, 2008Link to this post
SuzanneScotland/ CanadaGreat TannerI am very fair skinned with fair hair and have used many self tanners over the years. Although, I now use St Tropez, only for the fact that the colour is more suited to my skin tone than any other I have found. Fake Bake However, is great too, just a little too dark for my colouring. If you want a medium to dark tan though its brilliant. The guide colour is great for application and although it looks dark at first, rinses off to leave a lovely colour. Id also like to say that it is not the self tanner that streaks, it is the person applying it that determines whether it streaks or not!posted Mar 2, 2008Link to this post
CristineBelton, MissouriA Uv Free Way Of Life!OMG! This is a revolution in the tanning industry. I have owned and operated a salon for over 10 years, and with the proper consulting on which product is best for you is highly recomended. There are professionals for a reason. I must also add; the cost is sooooooooooo much cheaper & the time and energy it takes to build a tan otherwise! Look for a professional near you that is skilled. This is by far the BEST SUNLESS TANNING PRODUCT LINE and is in a league of its own! ANTI-AGING too! OMGposted Feb 27, 2008Link to this post
CocoToo ExpensiveBare Escentuals faux tan is just as good and less messy and less expensive.posted Feb 19, 2008Link to this post
Sap08Atlanta, GABest I've Ever Used!Ive tried tons of sunless tanners & this one is by far the best one ever. It gives you a very natural brown color. It looks like you have been to the beach for a week. I love this product and I will definetely be using it this summer instead of destroying my skin in the tanning bed. I highly recommend you try it out!posted Jan 16, 2008Link to this post
ElleNYCMessiest Product EverI got the recommended gloves and I applied this product. It streaked and I stood naked for over 25 minutes because it doesnt dry very fast. The end result was not worth the work and suffering that I devoted. Never again!posted Nov 27, 2007Link to this post
DeeCaliforniaReviewThe product left my bed sheets a complete and total mess. While the color is dark when applied, the morning after the shower the color is completely gone. It took 4-5 applications (and nights of messy bed sheets) before any color was revealed. Lots of mess and work for poor results.posted Jul 30, 2007Link to this post
JenniferOkIt has a nice color, but made me breakout. I would be carefull using this product. It is very messy and hard to smooth into the skin.posted May 7, 2007Link to this post

I really want to go for finals weekend because it's a manageable drive for me, but I really don't want to absorb the cost of a hotel room + watch alone. So what I'm saying is: want to be friends?
I really want to go for finals weekend because it's a manageable drive for me, but I really don't want to absorb the cost of a hotel room + watch alone. So what I'm saying is: want to be friends?
Bought airline tickets today with a 40% discount on Southwest. Love to be friends but we are already a party of eight.
Won't know until around Dec. If I will be able to go
I will be there on Monday. If anyone wants to, we can make a list of GSers and try and meet up. Worked out really well at SA Kent. No one tried to monopolize anyone else's time, no one was obnoxious or mean.
You get a feel when someone wants to sit alone during practice and when they want company. I think other GSers might enjoy what we experienced at Kent.
I think you should be the official GS meet up organizer, Chris! You seemed to do a great job for SKAM!
I'm considering going but it would be an all-day drive, and the expense for these things is so much (usually ends up costing $1000+.) Last time I went it wasn't so far and I got practice passes to meet some of the skaters, which was great. Questions:
- Is there any way to get practice passes without a huge expense? (I'm not purchasing the entire week of tickets or something crazy like that)
- Anything else to do in Omaha that might make the extra days worthwhile?
It's kind of like... it's so far that going for just a couple days seems not worth it. But 4 days seems so expensive that it also seems not worth it. :(
As far as I know the only way you can get a practice pass is if you purchase all event tickets or some special package that offers it.
Do you know that specifically for this Nationals? I could have sworn at the last Cleveland nationals we just bought passes right there (practices were at another rink a few miles out.)
-- Just found out that there are 2 types of practices. Main arena is restricted as you said, but there's another arena where the general public can attend. Now I just have to find out if there will be any ladies or mens practices on Thursday or Friday at the public arena.

Watch the main website for a very detailed PDF that will give all the schedules for all the sheets of ice, just like when you attended Cleveland. Also remember that with a ticket, you can get in early and watch practice/warmups before the event. When a ticket covers two events, you can actually see alot. Every event seems to be different as far as watching practices, or even if you can get into the secondary practice ice.
Henry Doorly Zoo is not far from downtown. Indoor exhibits include the Desert Dome, Rainforest, Gorilla House, and an Aquarium:
Lots of unique restaurants and shops at the Old Market downtown:
Durham Western Heritage Museum is also a great stop:
And the Joslyn Art Gallery:
The casinos in Council Bluffs which is just across the river about 5 miles.
Harrahs (Not as nice as the other 2)
Ameristar (Nicer)
and Horseshoe (the nicest)

Hi everyone. I'm going to Nats with a friend of mine and we're wondering if anyone would be willing to share a room. We have reservations for The Fairfield Inn, but it's $115/night and we're trying to keep it under $100/night. I'll be getting there on the 23rd and checking out on the 27th. My friend will be flying in the same day and flying out the 28th.
I was planning on it. I had vacation days I could use and was getting ready to start purchasing tickets when my best friend decided to have her wedding that weekend and ask me to be maid of honor. I actually had to think about it for a minute

Branchless and Mobile Banking Solutions for the Poor: A SurveyAhmed DermishBankable Frontier Associates Christoph KneidingWorld Bank - Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP); German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) Paul Leishmanaffiliation not provided to SSRN Ignacio MasUniversity of Oxford - Said Business School; Tufts University January 23, 2011 Innovations, Vol. 6, No. 4, Fall 2011 Abstract: This paper reviews the growing literature that has spawned around branchless and mobile banking in developing countries over the last five years. Around 2.6 billion people in the world do not have access to formal financial services, and yet 1 billion of them have a mobile phone. Branchless banking systems take advantage of increasingly ubiquitous real-time mobile communications networks to bring banking services into everyday retail stores, thereby alleviating the lack of banking infrastructure in the communities where poor people live and work. Most deployments are quite recent, and hence there is a shortage of hard empirical evidence relating to them. One mobile banking scheme in particular, M-PESA in Kenya, has shown phenomenal success, and has been a catalyst for much of the research. Here we review the emerging literature in terms of the definitions and model taxonomies employed; the status and drivers of global adoption of these schemes; the take-up and usage patterns of customers, and their socio-economic impacts; and the regulatory issues. Our twin objectives with this paper are to stimulate further research on these questions and to help policymakers and practitioners focus their continued efforts in creating an enabling environment for branchless banking.

The girls immediately loved their new sibling. They each kissed him goodnight before they went up to bed yesterday.
But only after attempting to mount a compelling argument that older kids stay up longer than younger kids; that it couldn't possibly be their bedtimes, therefore, since Baby Brother was still downstairs.
This morning their daddy drove the two girls to school and I drove the boy to his checkup with the pediatrician. He checked out fine in the eyes of the doctor but I was taken to task by the clucky-grandma receptionist. Did I lift that carseat onto the stroller frame by myself? And where is the lovely husband? I didn't drive myself here, did I? (Um, why yes I did.) I really should be taking it easy.
Yes. Is that one of the rules? That I shouldn't be driving yet? I remember that rule from baby #1, the c-section baby, but I don't remember it from baby #2. Now that I'm on baby #3 nobody even warned me of any rules when I was discharged from the hospital. Maybe because any would-be advisor must know that a third-time mom probably won't bother to abide by them, anyway.
But lest the worriers commence their hand-wringing, let me state that I came homefrom my harrowing driving and baby-lifting excursion and felt just fine. Besides, I only had one other commitment on my calendar, to hold this:
This new normal? It's not bad at all.

Meaning & Origins
Although this was in use as a personal name both before and after the Norman Conquest, modern use in most cases almost certainly represents a transferred use of the surname. This originated as a byname for someone from Scotland or, within Scotland itself, for a member of the Gaelic-speaking people who originally came from Ireland. The given name is now often chosen by parents conscious of their Scottish ancestry and heritage, but it is also used more widely.

Whether you serve this as a wrap, on whole-grain toast or in a lettuce cup, you will love this egg salad that uses half the yolks and lots of healthy fats from the avocado.
I tried a Flat-Out for the first time after hearing your positive reviews about it and loved how easy it was to create a wrap. It tasted great too! If you're on a gluten free diet or looking to use less calories this is also wonderful in a lettuce wrap or why not a hollowed out tomato!

Comments about Five Ten Blackwing Climbing Shoe (Women's) New:
I generally prefer climbing shoes with laces since you can adjust the fit more precisely. However, for bouldering, velcro is just so much more convenient. The Blackwing gives you Dragon performance with the ease of Velcro. I still like the Dragons better since I prefer the more adjustable fit, but when I'm bouldering and taking the shoes on and off more frequently, the Blackwing is the way to go.

Comments about Five Ten Blackwing Climbing Shoe (Women's) New:
These shoes are amazing. I have really narrow feet and a very shallow heel. I've worn the Miuras (M and F, both laced and velcro), Testarossas, Teams, and now these, and I have to say the only shoes that come even slightly close to the Blackwings are the Teams. The fit on the Lady Blackwings are an absolute dream...imagine Sportiva fit with 5.10 performance. :) There are no pockets of air anywhere, nor are there hotspots. The heel fits better (more snug) than the Teams and the toe rubber is slightly less stiff and more sensitive than the Teams. Also, the fleece lining inside is SO. COMFORTABLE. Love these.
Great for overhangs, heel/toe hooking is incredible, sensitive enough to send hard slabs...seriously the perfect shoe.
For sizing, I wear:
Miura/Tesstarosa: 39
5.10 Teams: 8
5.10 Lady Blackwing: 8.5
