Wildwood : Carpe Diem, Mr Fox
I asked the Wildwood Tarot app what energies I needed to aid me this week and Mr Fox says: "carpe diem". Remind me to keep him away from my daughter though, she loves this card and she will seize him!
Once again, the born survivor comes out to say, seize the day (carpe diem)! The determination the Fox has can lead to success, but I'd rather not do it at a personal cost. The Fox is full of natural wit and cleverness, and this card can guide us towards being fulfilled. The fox anticipates the future, which is a gift to cherish.
Being quick-witted isn't one of my strong points, but avoiding the headlights is. The fox reminds us that leaving old ways behind, being innovative, creative, cunning and improvising a way forward are good characteristics of the fox, as is the phrase "carpe diem", but he has his negative side too. He can be reckless and overly competitive, violent, impatient.
What situation do I need to seize during the coming week? What situation do you need to seize? Where do you need to take the time and make haste, slowly? Yes, I did say slowly. Foxes might be quick enough to get out-of-the-way of an on-coming car, but they're not that quick in their own arena, or so I am told. They like to take their time but they're creatures that very much "carp diem" (seize the day) when they need to.
Have you seen Blackadder? I was sure my favourite phrase about having a plan so cunning I could pin a tail on it and call it a fox, was in there, but it turns out the final animal is the weasel. Not quite the animal we have before us and I rather like this fox's tail!
So, with that in mind (and since my memory about Blackadder shattered enough that I need to revisit some old episodes) I hope this week doesn't require too much thinking, but plenty of "carpe diem" moments! I hope you seize the day(s) coming too!
Thanks for dropping by, you can like this post, +1, re-tweet and do other nice things with it that'll make me smile, including commenting. I'm off to take Baldrick off the spit and tidy away the Wildwood cards.
Wildwood : Snuggle Up
The clocks here in the UK have gone back and hour and the time has come to snuggle up. But, what to do with the extra time?
Having an extra hour (supposedly in bed!) for the first few days after the clocks "fall" backwards, is always entertaining, especially with the kids. What I really want to do is to sleep, snore my little head off but the kids are young, proof life is for living.
They're all galloping around, a little like the Knight of Stones, where as I'm far more like the 4 of Arrows. However, there has to be some middle ground and it comes I feel, in the shape of being a family.
If you were to pick a Tarot card to show a family, sitting down and being a family, what RWS card would you attribute that image to? The Six of Bows, full of abundance? Nine of Cups with being nice and generous to each other? Ten of Stones with the image of happy families? Or is it more like the Five of bows and full of conflict?
What do you feel is important, when you're forced to spend time with those little people who you bore? I want to, they have other ideas and "snuggle up" usually means bed (fight) time. Is it one thing? Is it another? Is there one, unique, magical answer? Should I consult the Shaman for the magical formula I need? I was complimented the other week by a total stranger, a much older lady who would have been my grandmothers age, were either of the auld battle-axes still alive. I was then told I run a "tight ship" and that they're a compliment to me. My Nanny MacPhee retort to the nice auld lady aside, I expect children to show respect and have manners; showing that they're at least grateful for the effort a parent puts into looking after them. But am I that bad? The Woodwose is another card that speaks about spending the half term with respect being the first command. He's certainly not the snuggle up kind, is he?
However, there's another way, which was the original thought behind this Tarot blog entry. There's time to snuggle up, cuddle up and just be together, right after kicking up leaves and having a good walking the brisk air with the dog. Now, what card would you have to represent snuggling up and spending windy days, indoors with some hot chocolate and a kids movie? Come on, share, I'm intrigued
I've used the Wildwood Deck, in case you were still wondering 😉
Wildwood : Court-ly Advise
This week, I've pulled a three card reading from the Wildwood and for the first time in a long time, every card is a court. Crumbs!
Courts can be a royal pain in the bum. They can represent other people, the type of situations, parts of your thoughts and psyche: They're diverse and as such, a pest to translate and work into your readings. Alison Cross does a fan-tabulous blog on Courts, called This Game of Thrones, so if you're struggling with the Courts, get visiting her blog.
However, with three of them, using the Wildwood's Pathway Spread, we've a lot to work out, so let's be getting on with it. Here's the first card, the Knight of Stones, which is the middle card.
What does this Court represent? He's the one running at full pelt. Is he running away from someone? Is he running towards something or just going through life, hell for leather? For me, the Knight isn't stopping and that is probably part of the issue. Did he stop to consider things? Did he give himself time to think? I often don't, so like him, I carry on regardless, wishing I could slow down, not knowing how to, regretting things along the way.
The King of Stones to the left advises us of what not to do. I struggle with him, because a) he's a court but b) he's a lone wolf. Do I not do things on my own? I had first hand experience of him Monday night, trying to work out logistics of this weekends travel for me. I sat there, doing it "on my own" and whined once that I couldn't get into the City of Birmingham for 5am to catch a very cheap coach to London, as local public transport doesn't start until 6am! With the husband and sisters help, the logistics got worked out and at a very reasonable rate. If I'd done it on my own, it would have cost 1/3 more, or I'd have missed a connection by mere minutes. The lesson, is to ask this week; don't be the Lone Wolf and do things on your own, even if they seem small things to ask for help with. This Wolf may be howling at the moon, but now I feel he's asking for help, not doing things alone, as I first thought.
And finally, we have the final Court, the Queen of Bows, represented by The Hare. She's Mrs Practicality, isn't she? She's the wise, witty friend who never leaves your side, no matter how much of an ejit you've been. However, she'll tell you, gently, that you've been a silly sausage (or words slightly stronger) but that it's okay with a hug and helps you sort out what you need. Is this you? Could this be me? I suspect I know who will appear or be like that at the weekend (when I finally meet her - it's only been some 6 years we've known each other, but never met!) but nothing is set in stone. It could be anyone that comes into my life, or it could just be I take on this persona over the weekend. We'll see.
So this week, we've so many possibilities that can work out for us, but it'll work out as it needs to. I must remember to pack my Tarot deck (or a few!) and tickets, directions and travel cards for the weekend: I will be needing them!
The Wildwood Tarot deck is the one I've used for this weeks Tarot blog entry, in case you were wondering. And if you'd like to leave me a comment on your thoughts with this spread, I'd love to chat Courts with you!
Wildwood Answers: 30 Day Challenge ~ Day 10
We're finally into double figures of the 30 Day Challenge, a third of the way through. It was originally set in December by Ree at 78 Keys, but today, her question is this: What card best represents you/your personality (or, is most often pulled to represent you in a spread)?
I hinted at this yesterday when I thought about the most popular card I've blogged about in 2012 and why that might be. Usually, to represent me, based on my birthday, is the Knight of Vessels, but my age and Sun-sign point me towards the Queen of Vessels. Here on the right we can see the Knight of Vessels. He's adaptable, fluid. If he needs to get his tail end out of the water, he will. When he needs to go back in, he will and always, he finds his way: somehow. Eels have a great homing instinct, nearly as strong as, or very comparable to, The Salmon, who in this deck, is the Queen of Vessels.
She for me, is the calm one, the one who will often jump through hoops for her family, children, spouses, because she loves them. Like the Eel, she'll get out of her own comfort zone, her own environment, to do what must be done. Yes, even to the point of sacrificing herself, her health (physical and mental) or otherwise for family. But she's a loving mother, a nurturer, the one you'll get cuddles from, who will eat the things on your dinner plate (peas perhaps?) that daddy says you have to eat, but mummy knows you won't touch with a fork the length and size of a barge pole!
So, what can these pair bring to us today? For me, they're adaptable, giving, wear their heart on their sleeves, able to ride the emotional roller-coaster of life. So, which ever-one appeals to you more today, their energy is yours to borrow. That is what the Tarot does: it helps you find the answers you need. And I am here to help interpret the answers from the Tarot.
Wildwood CotD : Knight of Bows
Today we have been watched by the Knight of Bows, which appears to us as the sly, cunning, observant, entrepreneurial and daring, Mr Fox.
To me, the Fox is observant. He encourages us to see and not be seen, to be observant, agile, skilled. They're also unpredictable, they're not "set" in their day and night routine all the time these days, not when there is free food to be had in the left-overs we humans leave behind.
What else comes to mind for me is that the fox is sheer determination. Do they have that characteristic to their own detriment? Do we, if we borrow the energy that this Knight presents to us today?
Our lives change so much in such a short time, we have to be clever, cunning and willing to change direction at the drop of a hat. We have to trust our instincts. If they say: "Leave the old ways behind" we need to trust in that. Of course, it depends upon who is saying that to us and why it is either being said or felt.
Today, I have been watching things unfold. Watching and hearing my children play, doing chores, arranging engineers (more of them!) for next week to fix certain pieces of machinery, obtain quotes and ideas for other aspects in the house. Watching can be boring, but sometimes, we need to observe to understand what exactly, is going on around us.
Have fun and be safe, watching the world go by for a day. I also wonder if today is a day to think?
Wildwood CotD : Knight of Stones
Today my youngest son pulls the card of the day and the Knight of Stones comes galloping towards me. Like him, today, I have been restless and I am at some loss to explain why.
It has been hard to explain, this feeling of being out of control, whilst fully in control. I'll wager that statement doesn't even make sense, but that is how I have been feeling: galloping head-long but in control a little of where and why I am going there.
The colours on this wild horse suggest that he is healthy. Since he is wild and healthy, it suggests good self-sufficiency and activity. He's very physical, very fit and any decision this Knight makes is because he is fit enough to make those decisions. I wonder if pleasure is important to this horse? He's a Knight, or representative of one, so he might just do things because it makes him feel good, like, run for a while or enjoy listening to something.
He's daring, full of pride and loves the Earth and will try most things at least once. I'd love to go riding on his back sometime, but I think he might buck me off! And since I'm 20 weeks pregnant and don't ride for real, that might not be a great plan, but the idea of being free, doing something amazing, persevering and being active are all ringing true!
Now, I really need to find a way to get rid of all this nervous energy! It's making the little lady jump about a bit too much right now!
Wildwood COTD : Knight of Bows
It's midweek, but the Wildwood isn't getting all in a hump about it! Instead it sends out the Knight of Bows, Mr Creativity and Cunning to help us out today.
The fox is so much more than cunning and creativity personified though, he's got great shamanic qualities, which you can find here. Mr Clever paws here last visited us on the 13th of May. The feminine courage of this character is quite powerful for me at the moment, and it has me wondering and hoping about something in particular. Foxes are also persistent, swift and full of stealth.
And these skills start with foxes when they're cubs. My sister had a first hand experience of a fox cub that had followed her cats into the house via the cat flap. Who says that they're not clever or inquisitive? Something of a fright, especially for her two cats!
So, today, the ability of the fox to observe (mostly) unseen, to be persistent, to perhaps shape shift and be invisible can be of benefit to us. In some ways, he's very similar to the Lynx (Page of Stones) in the quiet, observational way that they both seem to have.
However, today, I shall borrow some of the foxes better qualities and enjoy today's tasks. If you'd like your own personal reading, you can book it via this page.
Wildwood COTD : Knight of Vessels
It's a Monday and the Wildwood, as always, has a message for us. It comes to us in the shape of the Knight of Vessels, represented in this deck by the slick Eel. But what does the Eel represent to you?
For me, I see him as slippery and rather a negative character. He's the romantic cad that'll leave you just when you need him the most. But he must have a positive side, mustn't he? Time to pick up and read the book....
There's some good background about the eel shape changing, becoming spears and swimming through water where weeds and cresses drift. (Cresses are like water cress, edible water plants)
The eel, according to the book, has purity of intent. I'm thinking here, someone wearing their heart on their sleeve. The book also says that the eel is able to bring wisdom and maturity to the tasks that need undertaking today. Good, I'm going to need a darned good dose of that today!
What else?
The book says that embarking on a quest of personal revelation, your vision leads you onwards. My vision? If it means my battle plan for the day, yes, I have one. If it means my life / mission statement, that's a little beyond a card of the day post, but I get what it's aiming for. For once! It also says that my deep feelings are expressed at every turn. Goddess I hope not!
So, what have we got for today? Possible attraction, conquests, seduction? There's also agreements, induction, a possible union, people coming together. Let me know how your day goes with this fellow floating around. I'll share my insights later on.
Blessings to you this day and if you'd like my help, you can book your slot with me here.
Wildwood COTD : Knight of Bows
Today, on Sunday, the Knight of Bows kindly comes out to greet us. Since we had the Lynx yesterday, I find it interesting that I pull out the Fox and continue the weekend skills of observing and camouflage.
The fox has a lot going for it, Shamanistic-ally speaking. The list for him is as long as my arm, but there are a few that stand out. Female courage is the first one that comes out. We don't know by looking at this card if the fox is male or female, and to be honest, it matters not. Its the energy surrounding them that is important, not their gender.
But what else has the fox got in store for us today? You can visit its Shamanistic traits here. He last came out for me on the 5th of April, when I probably needed the help of the good Doctor and his Tardis, but I do not feel the need for time travelling or the need to travel to the land of the Sidhe.
However, the ability to observe unnoticed is rather useful, especially with two small children around. It's also useful for people watching. The fox has other useful skills when seeing clients, such as gentleness and swiftness. So today, I bid you well and take care and if you wish to book your reading with me, you can do so here.
Wildwood COTD : Knight of Bows
Today, Mr Fox, the sly, sleek, conniving opportunistic soul comes out to join us. I might just borrow some of his skills for today! But what are his skills? In Shaman terms, the fox brings anything from gifts from the Gods to Healing to giving man fire.
He can be a guide to the Faery realm, the realm of the Sidhe, which is understandable since he's an ingenious, nocturnal creature that lives pretty much anywhere these days. They're opportunistic, often seen as time travellers, shape-shifters, experts at camouflage, agile, skilled and unpredictable.
All of these skills will certainly help fulfil my plans today. I'd rather have the time travelling skill though! How does one engage the good Doctor and his Tardis?
Since I've more chance of plaiting fog than getting The Doctor to help, I'd better get on with it on my own. The ability of the fox to be seen in several places in quick succession is one such useful skill.
What skills of his can you borrow today? We're all born with the full 16 court cards already engaged, just we prefer to use some and not others, depending on our education, experiences etc. I shall certainly enjoy borrowing the skills of Fantastic Mr Fox! Will you?

Merri's Peer Presentation Group program…
"The opportunity to practice speaking consistently was very helpful because opportunities for public speaking are somewhat rare, and opportunities for feedback on the public speaking even more rare. It was also helpful to watch my peers speak and see what worked and what didn't work."
"It was helpful to be under the gun and to have to get creative with each topic. Most importantly, rehearsing and speaking was the invaluable practice that made the program worthwhile."
"It is much more difficult to speak to your colleagues than to strangers. This challenge made for a very beneficial aspect of the program."
"Each topic was generalized to be applicable to each presenter. There was a focus on a speaking competency or strategy to work on but the presentation topics could be tailored to your job duties. I was able to create and rehearse presentations that I can use in the future."
"Getting up in front of the group on a somewhat regular basis was very helpful. Practice gets results."
"I have techniques, and a sense of structure now that I did not posses before going through PPG. The challenge now is to be consistently effective in communicating a message. I am confident that I can do this, but only time will tell if that turns out to be the case."
Merri as a presentation coach…
"Merri provides tremendous insight into my speaking style and how to make it more effective."
"I wished there were more required coaching sessions."
Merri as a presenter…
"I attended the presentation, Courtroom Confidence, by Merri Bame and Steve Chappelear on behalf of the Columbus (Ohio) Bar Association on September 11, 2012. It was the best seminar experience that I have had in years.
Charley Hess, Dublin, Ohio
"Merri brings a passion to her presentations – including Master Mind Your Own Business – that makes learning exciting and attractive."
Jim Canterucci, Westerville, Ohio
"I was already inspired with ideas about how to alleviate some of my challenges within 2 MINUTES of Merri's Master Mind Your Own Business!"
Anonymous attendee
"Merri did a nice job presenting It's Your Business to Speak! at Central Ohio Coaches Association. She not only shared some valuable content, her delivery was engaging!"

My Top Ten Favorite Baby Girl Names
No, I'm not pregnant. Last time I checked, anyway.
But I do love baby names! I love hearing them and associating them with the little schnookie cherubs they get matched with, and imagining those cherubs growing up with the names and thinking about all the ways their names will define them.
At various book signings over the past few years, I've seen some of the most beautiful babies with some of the most spectacular names. And in many cases, I was like Ken and Ira on City Slickers, where they're naming the perfect variety of their ice cream to go with different meals. I'd see a little Charlotte or a little Jess or a little Will and I'd just think "Yes! That's the only name she/he could possibly have."
It changes daily, but here are my (current) ten favorite names for baby girls. They're in no particular order, but I did save my absolute favorite name for the end.
Will ten of you please have a baby girl and use one of the following names, please?
Thank you.
My late grandmother's name. I love Helen because it's old fashioned and vintage, but not overly so. Helen is strong, confident, classic, and no-nonsense. It's a grown-up name that's precious for a baby girl. I adore it.
Simple, old fashioned, lovely. My husband's grandmother is Edna Mae. My best friend Hy's late mother was Mae. This name is charmingly vintage, calmly confident, and goes great with a long middle name like Alexandra or Elizabeth.
I have one of these, so I'm a little biased. But to me, there's hardly a name that so perfectly conveys the combination of feminine and fun, strong and sweet, approachable and…academic? I don't know. I just love it. I was in ballet with a Paige all through my teenage years and she sealed the deal for me. I loved her. And it was one of the very, very few girl names Marlboro Man and I both really liked.
It's hard for me to decide between Marie and Maria. I love the simplicity of Marie. It reminds me of the scene in When Harry Met Sally when Meg Ryan first saw Carrie Fisher in her wedding gown. ("Oh, Marie…") But…Maria. Let's face it. It's Natalie Wood's character in West Side Story and it's the Latin form of the name of the mother of Jesus. There's nothing left to be said.
I knew a female "Dru" growing up and she was talented and beautiful and kind. I slightly prefer the unisex spelling of "Drew" because then we get over into boy territory and it makes the men nervous. Whee!
I don't know if it's the 1897 French play, the 1990 movie knockoff with Steve Martin, or the Police song (Raaaaaaaaaaah-xanne) but I think Roxanne is a power name. It's sexy without being too…sexy (Sting's song lyrics to the contrary) and ultra feminine without being…princessy. It's a CEO's name, in my opinion.
Bring back Susan! I saw a baby recently whose name was Susan. Not Susanna, not Suzie, not Suzette. Just Susan. And I loved it. It's one of those names that might be in danger of being relegated to a certain era of American history (women, say, born between 1950 and 1975) but I think it needs a comeback.
I've loved every Georgia I've ever known, and it's one of the very few "geographical location names" that I really, really love—and one I think will stand the test of time. See: This Georgia. See also: This Georgia.
My dad's middle name is Dale, and I've always loved it as a possible girl name. It's short, succinct, somewhat unisex and strong…but with a hint of vintage. And a hint of Dale Evans.
Hands down my current favorite baby name. It's progressive and strong, confident and creative. It translates to "The Holy." Geez. What a motivator!
Honorable Mentions
Millie (Thoroughly modern)
Phillipa (I blame inception)
Flannery (I like southern writers)
Lela (My godmother's name)
Anna (Another power name)
Elaine (The Graduate sealed the deal for me)
Adeline (But I wouldn't shorten it. All Adeline, all the time.)
Carolina (Pronounced "Care-oh-lee-na")
Juliet ("…be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet.")
Sarah (One of the best biblical names there is.)
Gabriella (Yes, I wish I was Italian.)
Lula Belle (I can't help it. My late great-aunt's name. She was a force.)
I'll stop now.
Feel free to share your faves, too! We'll all have imaginary baby girls together.
Avoiding work,
Pioneer Woman
P.S. I'll post my list of boy names next.

Cyanna (pronounced see-anna) Scarlett and Cydney Anastasia are two favorites….if only I had twin girls. Noelle (the French spelling of my mother's name, Noel). Allie Rose (my grandmother). Laree (my sister). Laura (a dear friend).
Elizabeth On Wednesday, August 22 at 6:11 pm
I'm so with you on the Italian name love Ree! If I had my way, both our boys would have had names of opera heroes, and any girls we have (including #3 ? who is just over halfway in progress) of opera heroines. It's probably good that we are not Italian and therefore cannot name our children thus as really because Don Carlo is a lot for a little guy to live up to, Lucia did totally lose her mind in the end, and Tosca, though a gutsy kind of broad whose courage I admire didn't have a great end either. I'll just call them Luciano and Tonio in my dreams.
Alexandra On Wednesday, August 22 at 6:13 pm
Been there… lived there… love it there… but Jerusalem? As a girl's name???
Heather On Wednesday, August 22 at 6:26 pm
I have hoped to have a Lily someday, with any number of middle names like Charlotte, Gates, Naomi, Noelle. My 2nd favorite is Elise. I definitely lean toward classic names and traditional spellings. If I had several girls, I might continue the floral theme with names like Ivy and Violet.
Denise in VA On Wednesday, August 22 at 6:36 pm
I, too, am avoiding work.
On a business trip in Atlanta, and the work for this trip is done. But I have a presentation next week and should be working on those slides…..(but I'll tell you a secret: I am fooling around online instead !)
SarahLouWho On Wednesday, August 22 at 6:43 pm
Sarah… with an H… the right way! lol
Amanda Smith On Wednesday, August 22 at 6:59 pm
My daughters names are Bayley Jo and Cheyenne. I loved Dakota and Emma and Layla as well. when i was a kid growing up and dreaming about my future i liked madison but seemed to be like everywhere so I had to dream some more. Boy do I have boy names!
Kathy Weber On Wednesday, August 22 at 7:14 pm
I'm a mom of one, a daughter who will be 7 this Sunday the 26th. My husband was totally convinced she was a boy, and I told him we need a girl name on deck at least. He didn't like any that I picked of course, but I told him that the middle name would be after my mom, Sandra (my 2 neices already have her middle name of Elizabeth) and I threw the name book at him, he has it not even 2 minutes, and picks Daphne. I thought, ok, then I do the mock yelling of the entire name- Daphne Sandra Weber. I said to him- this works, and a later ultra sound confirmed she was a girl. I told him that if we have another, and he is like his uncle who only made girls then the middle name of daughter #2 would be either Frances or Mae, in tribute to my mom's mom. Love your show, books and site!
Ruth On Wednesday, August 22 at 7:18 pm
I also have a Katherine Elizabeth. We call her Kate…Katie Beth as a term of endearment. I always wanted a Kate. Waited 36 years for her. She came out with a head of red curls, and it was confirmation (as well as the BIGGEST shock of my life since neither of us have red headed siblings or parents. But lots of Irish/Scottish heritage. Little girls are a joy and mine is my pride and joy!
Sue G On Wednesday, August 22 at 7:20 pm
I always wanted a girl and I would call her Lorraine.
Sheila On Wednesday, August 22 at 7:23 pm
Here's a name I rarely here anymore. I guess you could say it's vintage but I've always loved the sound of it " Gwendolyn" it just rolls off the tongue. So pretty!
Becky Van Verst On Wednesday, August 22 at 7:26 pm
Right now, its's Abilene Rain, my new grand daughter's name!
Susan On Wednesday, August 22 at 7:41 pm
My mama is Helen and I am a Susan; thrilled silly we BOTH made your list!!
Holly On Wednesday, August 22 at 7:43 pm
Angel Claire…….I think it's a n oldArt Garfunkel song…but I never got to use it, only had boys!
Cindi On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:01 pm
Audrey…..my beautiful new granddaughter's name. Sage is her middle name and the last name begings with K. ASK me about Audrey!
Amy On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:13 pm
I just had an Anna and I have a Miriam. Love both of those names!!
georgia On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:14 pm
Used to hate being a Georgia, but I think I grew into the name. It's so old fashioned that it's back in style now.
Adrienne On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:14 pm
Adrienne…because that's my name and I don't think it is dated. I'm 70 yrs. old
lissaemtb On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:14 pm
The whole time I was pregnant I could have sworn we were having a girl. Had a name picked out before we got pregnant. Alexandra Faith. We liked the idea of a girl nicknamed Alex and it took a whole hell of a lot of faith to get pregnant! We struggled with getting an A boy's name to go with the middle name of Thomas (following my family's tradition of a portion of the dad's name as the middle name)..We didn't ask to know when they did the ultrasound we wanted to be surprised. My surprises were going into labor 3 1/2 weeks early and only dialating to 6..yep c-section…and it's a boy. Aaron Thomas….and it's cool. He's the only Aaron in grades 1-8 at his school!!!! And now when I tell stories involving Aaron.. I have to specify which one. I work with 2 of them!
sher On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:22 pm
i love my 2 daughters names Katie-Anna Carolina and Courtney Rose
VeeBee On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:35 pm
Hi all! We are having a girl.
Her name will be Philomena!
We need a middle name and have been considering Rose (which is my middle name and part of my mother's name) and I love it and I think it goes very well with Philomena. However it seems like everyone I know has Rose as a middle name these days.
Also we've talked about Claire. Juliet. Isabelle.
Which do you all like? And are there any other suggestions?
Cindy On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:38 pm
My grandaughter's names are Gwenivere & Piper. I love both names, they fit their personalities perfectly!!!
Judy in Bham On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:40 pm
As the Momma of 2 grown young men, I LOVE to think of little girl names. Faves:
Nora (my mother's name)
Maeve (sucker for Irish names)
Colleen (ditto)
Evangeline (but only if I could make the full name stick – no nicknames!!)
Leah (2 syllables)
Audrey S. On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:43 pm
My daughter's names are Malie (like the african country) and Maelle. I also like Kenya (again with Africa and Lena …
Susan Faye On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:48 pm
Hurray for Susan! I was born in 1955 and there were five Susans in my 1st grade class. In fact, there were 2 Susan D.s, so I had to be Susan Da. and she was Susan Du. Time for a Susan Comeback!
nancy On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:56 pm
Mabel ….. love that name. Second fav is my daughter's name: Hanka!
Bee D. On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:57 pm
Margaret Elaine-Maggie
Kimberly Jean (age 45, bet you guessed that) On Wednesday, August 22 at 8:59 pm
My sweet daughter (age 15) is Emma Victoria. Other names I loved were Margaret (my Mother), Helen (also my Mother, her first of three names – the other was Jean), Louise (an aunt), and Beatrice (both Grandmothers' middle name). My grandmothers were Lillian and Edna, which I've noticed that Edna hasn't seemed to make a comeback.
I noticed such a strong trend in the names in the responses – "Vintage" names. There is a list at this website (http://nameberry.com/list/323/Vintage-Names-for-Girls) which has many of the names people have mentioned. Such fun reading the posts. I love names.
Kim A. On Thursday, August 23 at 8:14 am
Ha! Hello from another Kimberly, age 48.

Elise… it's perfectly lovely. I have an Anna Elise, and I think it's a perfect combination.
Allison On Wednesday, August 22 at 9:04 pm
My baby girl (who is now 8) is named Ellery. It means "cheerful" or "glad" – and she is!!!
Franny On Wednesday, August 22 at 9:09 pm
I have a daughter who goes by Drew. Her full name is Anna Drew.
Sara On Wednesday, August 22 at 9:14 pm
I had Marie picked out for a girl, but alas, I had two boys..Christopher and Jacob.
Raquel On Wednesday, August 22 at 9:20 pm
My name is Raquel. It was a tough one growing up as my classes were full of Heathers, Michelle's and Karens. But now I appreciate it as its unique and when someone calls my name I know they are speaking to me. Noone spells it properly but that just gives me an opportunity to spell it out for them.
colleen On Wednesday, August 22 at 9:32 pm
well we have been blessed with 3 beautiful baby girls and absolutely love their names…. Katelyn Nicole, Megan Cecile & Keira Irene! We toyed with the name Veronica for our oldest after her daddy (Ron) and call her Ronnie, but Katelyn won out!
my bestest friend is having a baby girl and she's naming her "Haven"
sally On Wednesday, August 22 at 9:34 pm
My favorite name for a girl is Reine. Pronounced "Rain". And Laura. And Nora.
Karen E On Wednesday, August 22 at 9:53 pm
My daughter's name is Evalee (the first e is pronounced as a short e – like in Evelyn) She's 8 now and she's quite aware that she's the only Evalee in her school. She loves that she has such an orginal name. She was named for my great aunt who died at any early age.
Ellen H On Wednesday, August 22 at 10:12 pm
I've been obsessed with the name Evelyn ever since I can remember. I have always wanted twin girls so I could name one Evelyn and one Ava so then I could call them Evy and Ava.
Susan On Wednesday, August 22 at 10:13 pm
Yay for Susan! Although it was sooo popular, We had 5 Susans in my 8th grade English class. Hubby and I named our second daughter Salome(Sah-low-mae, it means peace), but also call her Sally. I like that she has a funky version and an old-fashioned version of her name.
Jolene On Wednesday, August 22 at 10:18 pm
I have Addieana, Annika, Akaysa & Ashlyn. We didn't initially intend to have them all start with A, but after the first 2 decided we didn't want anyone to be left out… I wanted Ashlyn to start with and told my husband if he would have agreed to it in the first place we wouldn't have had to have so many
Kim E On Wednesday, August 22 at 10:31 pm
I have 3 girls. Chloe, Paige, and Colette.
Sarah On Wednesday, August 22 at 10:34 pm
I liked a lot of the names on this list. I am particularly fond of Sarah :). Our youngest daughter is named Adeline. My husband calls her Addy, which has grown on me, but I'm with you. I much prefer Adeline, all the time.
SharonFaye On Wednesday, August 22 at 10:36 pm
Lydia Rose. My baby girl. Who is now a teenager. Wah! I'm not ready for my baby to be a teenager !
Kara On Wednesday, August 22 at 10:39 pm
Some of my faves are: Ruby, Lilah, Nora, Piper, Carys, Shea & Leisl. There are too many cute names to choose from!!
Katie On Wednesday, August 22 at 10:51 pm
I am a 34 year old Katherine "Katie" Ruth Augusta (yes, two middle names). I never realized just how much Katherine and forms of it are in vogue until I sifted through these comments. Um, wow. My daughter is "Maysa J". Maysa is pronounced like Mesa, AZ, and J is "initial only" for the first letter of my husbands name, Jeremiah. Maysa is an Arabic name which means basically to "walk proud."
Lydia On Wednesday, August 22 at 11:04 pm
I think this is a favorite pastime for some women . . .myself included! I love "Claire" — beautiful, international, strong yet feminine.
I also love "Maria," but my husband didn't.
So we settled together on Rachel, Julia, and Carolyn — three classic names that can't be easily "nicked" — with our "cute" last name of Casey, I didn't want cutesy
Melanie On Wednesday, August 22 at 11:14 pm
"Helen" is a big one for me. I used to play with Breyer horses, and I still have my clydesdale beauty that I years ago named "Helen". Mae is also very much at the forefront. My Dutch Grandma was named "Anna Mae" and she taught me everything I know about cooking and baking… and home-makery…and I'm GREAT at all! love you , Ree!
Debbie W. On Wednesday, August 22 at 11:15 pm
We named our daughter, Courtney, which she now spells Kortney. =( I was VERY pregnant with my second child, and Monday Night Football was on. The name Kellen Winslow flashed across the screen. He played for the San Diego Chargers, and now his son, Kellen Jr., plays pro football. I liked the name Kellen, my husband liked it, and we liked how it sounded with Courtney's name, so that's how my son got his name. When he was little, he couldn't say Courtney, he called her Nutnee, and that is her nickname still.
Lindsay On Wednesday, August 22 at 11:29 pm
My favorite names. . . Malia, Mikah or Micah, Kaia, Eliannah, Lani
Googlymoogly On Wednesday, August 22 at 11:38 pm
My son, Aaron Jay, would have been Shayne Sophie if he was a girl. I love the names Gayle, Fiona, Daisy, Alayna, and Mae.
Chelle On Wednesday, August 22 at 11:44 pm
I have a Madison Rene' & Morgan Elise……I also really like Emma But no more girls for me!
JessicaFromSD On Wednesday, August 22 at 11:48 pm
My daughter's name is Jocelyn, which I think also captures that feminine-yet-not-too-frilly feel. To me it sounds like an outgoing yet unassuming girl who can shoot hoops and sing a solo equally well. I also love the name Georgia (but my husband does not) so if we ever have another girl, she'll be Samantha Jane. (After three boys in a row, I'm starting to think my frilly pink girl-baby clothes will never again see the light of day…)
Estie On Wednesday, August 22 at 11:55 pm
Coral is my fav baby girl, and my fav baby girl name. I love the color, and I love the girl even more.And can I just say… Hurah! I finally learned how to respond to a post. Now maybe I can enter something to win one of those beautiful flower mixers.
Pat On Wednesday, August 22 at 11:59 pm
I believe my daughter has the most beautiful name of all times. It is Victoria Alexandria. She is adopted and she is Asian–we call her Tori for short, which goes perfect with her ethnic background. Even as a grown up and a Mama herself she is still like a china doll.
Heather B On Thursday, August 23 at 12:09 am
Scarlett, Shelby, Harper, Tess (yes I know the Tess Harper thing will prevent me form using both), Mabel, Millie (Amelia), …..hmmm I guess I have only 6, no top 10.
Becca L. On Thursday, August 23 at 12:24 am
My 18 month old daughter is Cara Jane. We didn't come up with it until after she was born and it just fits her perfectly.
Jamia On Thursday, August 23 at 12:25 am
If I had a daughter I would have named her Kennedy Noel. if I had a second daughter I would have named her Karson ( pronounced Carson)
Mellisa On Thursday, August 23 at 12:26 am
My favorite name is Radeliah. I read this name in my 8th grade English class and knew I wanted to name my daughter this. 13 years later I FINALLY got my Raidee!! I also have a Kaddie (like Katie, just with d's) and an Emillie (named after my mom, Millie) We also used the middle name Coraline because it is just too pretty! And a little different! If we were to have another girl (which I doubt because we have 6 kiddos already!) I love the name Lucy.
Katrina On Thursday, August 23 at 12:31 am
I have a Mae (Maebelina but we call her Mae or MaeMae, which has somehow morphed into Mimi or Mims what?) no matter what, I LOVE THIS NAME. It's as good as you thought. I also have a Gabriella! I almost had an Adeline but went with Paulina instead and I could not be more pleased, we call her Polly and I love, adore and love it some more. Polly. She has Looooooong curly hair and it's perfectly perfect for her. I have an Anabella too. Lotso girlies. Lucky me
Tell Hyacinth I say hello! By the way, how about THAT name? LOVE IT!
Have a great rest of the week. Fun post.
Amber On Thursday, August 23 at 1:03 am
My cousin's name is Cathren. Yes that is the way it is spelled. Her dad wrote it that way for her birth certificate. He didn't know the right way to spell it. I actually love the way it's spelled. It's unique to her. While she is a total tom-boy I think the name fits her to a t. She has the most amazing and sweet heart. She's 11 now. Her nickname is Kat. We call her both. I just can't imagine her being anything else.
My name is Amber Nicole. I don't really like my name. 1st or middle I don't think it fits me at all. To me an Amber is more of a cheerleader, soririty, "bimbo" type girl. (no offense to anyone named amber) That is just not me. I'm the read a book, crochet, watch sound of music, oldfashioned type of girl. My middle name Nicole, never really thought of what I think it means to me just that I don't really like the sound of it.
Devona On Thursday, August 23 at 1:34 am
I can't believe it, my MIL's name is Lula Belle!!
Jennie On Thursday, August 23 at 3:25 am
I have a Larkin Ruth-Larkin was my best friend in Kindergarten-a sassy five year old vegetarian from Palo Alto…Phillip Larkin is also my husband's favorite poet-so it was an easy sell.
Tonia On Thursday, August 23 at 3:26 am
My cousin's little girl is Emma and I have a good friend who's little girl is Ella — love both those names and they truly match the characters of the girls! I have always liked my own name (Tonia) — my mom was pregnant w/me when she went to see Dr. Zhivago and one of the characters' names was Tonia — she liked the name AND the spelling; I like my name because 1) I've only ever met 3 other women with the same spelling and pronunciation, 2) it's a literary name and I'm a voracious reader(!), 3) I like being unique (ha!, mostly
Malin On Thursday, August 23 at 3:39 am
Oh my favourite name is Carys! Its welsh (boyfriend is partly welsh) and means love, could it be better? If I had a baby girl she would be Carys Elisabet (Swedish spelling of Elizabeth) since both my mother and I have Elisabet as a middle name.
I also really like Siena or Madeleine. (Mad-eh-len sort of)
Nicole On Thursday, August 23 at 4:40 am
Must be honest, not a big fan of any of the names you picked out here, a little too traditional for my taste. Luckily, because it is traditional, I don't hate any of the names either However, Jerusalem is a little out there…don't like it very much I don't have any kids, but I just love thinking of names, I prefer something more unique, but nothing as exotic as naming your child Xylophone (Which my friend wants to name her kid….). However, scrolling down and reading so many repeated names…that's not what I'm going for. Currently, I'm really liking the girl names, Hana, Luna, Lilly, Fleur, Elaina, Shay, Hazel, Jade, Giselle, Emery, Rose/Rosa, Stella, Lena, Charlotte, Diana, Opal,and Effie. For boys, I like Kenji and Liam…not many boy names impress me! They're not the most unique names, but they're not as common, and that works for me, I try keeping a happy medium of classic yet unique:) What do you guys think?
Robyn On Thursday, August 23 at 5:17 am
When I was pregnant with my 13-yo daughter there was one name that grabbed me from the beginning – Morgan. It's a strong girls name and it suits her to a tee! I never gave her a second name, but it would have been Rae which also happens to be my initials.
My son on the other hand is Tristan. It was the only boys name my husband and I could agree on. He chose it because it was the name of one of King Arthur's knights and one of the Round Table. I liked it since Brad Pitts character in The Legends of the Fall. One of my fav movies.
Tracy On Thursday, August 23 at 5:40 am
Love Charlotte Leigh with a nickname of Charleigh (my RA in college), but SIL already used Charlotte first
Family name Sarah Kimberlynn from 8 generations back (my sister's name is Kimberlee and my middle name is Lynn)
Used Katherine for my daughter (my mother and sister's middle name)
Also love my grandmother's name, Hallie, pronounced like talley.
Rebecca @ The Reluctant Housewife On Thursday, August 23 at 7:11 am
We're about to have a little boy, but if he was a girl his name would've been Adeline Rae…. I am IN LOVE with that name. Instead, his name is Bradford Slade… and we'll be calling him Slade, which I'm completely in love with too. Our daughter's name is Zoe Grace, and I still get sidetracked by how much I love her name.
Debi On Thursday, August 23 at 7:39 am
Oh dear. Helen was your late grandmother's name? I so hope this is not GaGa. Just searched the site to see if I missed word about this and I don't see anything. Please tell us she's still with you. Or if not, please tell us. I love your GaGa stories.
Christa On Thursday, August 23 at 7:41 am
If I were to have a girl she would be Alexandra Anne. Period. No other possibility that my husband would approve of.
Our only child so far is a little boy soon to be 6 months old. His name is Samuel Chase. Daddy named him after a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Yes, he's a nerd.
Amanda On Thursday, August 23 at 7:43 am
I'm very in love with my daughter's name.
I thought I was being very unique in 2002 when I named her
It's so sweet and spunky. My family told me it was a boy name. I was like whatever. I mean it used to be…it's an OLD name. But now, for boys it would seem feminine.
So, I went with it. And for her middle, I used a standby that I had always loved (every doll I had ever had I would name this)
But, notice, no z. I wanted it with an S. To be different and old fashioned.
And to this day, I love her name. so much.
My lovey name for her though, is Avy (AY-VEE)
Kate On Thursday, August 23 at 7:44 am
My girls are Lillian Bree (2009) and Natalie Elizabeth (2011). I've always been very happy with their names. Even if I do call them Lou and Natty Boo Boo
Kathryn Harris On Thursday, August 23 at 7:46 am
I love Emma, Charlotte, Victoria, Heather, and Veronica!!!! I know Emma is really popular now. But, it's my favorite. I picked it years ago for the 'if I ever have a daughter' list. I had a daughter. Her name is Emma.
Patience On Thursday, August 23 at 7:59 am
Eliana. A Hewbrew name that means God has answered my prayers.
AB On Thursday, August 23 at 8:24 am
My little girl is called Amber…its a combination of mine and my husband's name(me= Amna, Hubby= Baber). When we figured it out we just fell in love with it:) we have given her plenty of nicknames, not to mention TWO middle names as per my hubby's family tradition
Kristine On Thursday, August 23 at 8:25 am
My oldest is Helen. She's 20 – and the only Helen she's encountered through her entire schooling career thus far. It was my grandma's name, too. When I was young, everyone called me little Helen since I looked just like her. I dreamed that some day I'd have my own real "little Helen." The beauty of it is, my daughter resembles my grandmother is ways that I do not. She has her Cherokee nose and cheekbones. It's almost bizarre. I love it. And it remains a joy that when I enter a room of relatives who knew my grandma, they gasp when they see me and say her name. And then when they see my daughter – they clutch their hearts and do the same. There is so much in a name. (My other daughters are Lillian and Mary Claire.)
Cheri in MO On Thursday, August 23 at 8:39 am
Lola … this is my mom's name. I didn't like it as I was growing up because it thought it was a wierd name, but as I "mature" … i really really like it. Strong yet ultra feminine.
Emily H On Thursday, August 23 at 8:43 am
WOW, I am seeing names that I have never even heard of which is great because I love different and unique names. My top names for boys are: Jett Kaleb, Cayson Cole, Ty Joshua, & Wyatt Cash. And my lovely girls names are: Brynlee Klaire, Maggie ShiAnn, Praylee Grace, & Brooklyn Kate. I love all these names!!!
Angel Jacobs On Thursday, August 23 at 8:47 am
I love Fiona Elizbeth for a girl. Would proably call her Fi for short. Elizbeth was my grarndmothers middle name and she was named after her aunt.
Andrea On Thursday, August 23 at 9:23 am
Jerusalem!? Seriously? People are actually naming a little baby girl "Jerusalem?" And you like it? Please, reconsider. Please.
Olivia Flewelling On Thursday, August 23 at 9:37 am
My little sister's name is Amelia – nick-named Millie!
Shannon On Thursday, August 23 at 9:42 am
Ree, I'm so glad someone else loves Marie/Maria! Your taste in names is great….very beyond trend and timeless. Since you like Jerusalem, what about Nazarene? I recently heard it on a toddler and thought it was great.
Katie On Thursday, August 23 at 9:44 am
My daughter's name is Sabrina. She is 14 and we still don't see many other girls with that name. The name fits it her well and we love it.
Cathy P. On Thursday, August 23 at 9:48 am
Lula Belle? Seriously…
Pat J On Thursday, August 23 at 9:51 am
My mother's name was Katherine. So, in our family, we now have: Vanalee Katherine, Sallie Katherine, Diana Katherine, Zoe Katherine, and Hannah Katherine!
Teri O. On Thursday, August 23 at 10:02 am
I love strong woman names!! My daughters name is Kathryn. I always think of Katharine Hepburn when I say her name.
I begged my son to name their daughter Lilly. But they went with Audrey. So I think of Audrey Hepburn. (same last name, no relation) I can't imagine my grand daughter with any other name!!! She's just as beautiful as her name!!
When I had my cafe, I had a little customer that came in all the time and her name is Evelyn. That was my grandmothers name. Just an old name, but so beautiful!!
Isn't it funny how you associate names with people you know and regardless of how pretty the name is, you give it a nay or yay based on that person you know??!!!
Love your blog!!
Love your show!!
Maybe some day I'll get another grand daughter and another chance to get my Lilly!!!
Leslie On Thursday, August 23 at 10:05 am
This is a timely post for me! I'm pregnant with my fourth. I have three girls already, so I'm betting this one is a girl, too. (I can't wait to find out!) My girls' names are Julia, Lucy and Phoebe, which are, of course, my favorite names. If we have another girl, we're thinking Valerie.
Janelle On Thursday, August 23 at 10:05 am
I love Mae, and I like Paige. I also really like Fay, but can never use it (an unfortunate incident involving an aunt I never met because she was murdered by my uncle, whom I've also never met). I have a nine-month-old daughter with a name I'm absolutely in love with: Robyn. I also like Tyler for a girl.
Rachel A. On Thursday, August 23 at 10:06 am
My all-time favorite girl's name is Eleanor. I have three daughters, and not one is named Eleanor. But I love my girls' names, and they suit their personalities perfectly! But when they start having kids, I will be pushing for an Eleanor somewhere, haha.
Andrea R On Thursday, August 23 at 10:06 am
Paige is my daughter's middle name! Still love it!
My favorite girls names are:
Jacen(pronounced Jason)
Carly(This was almost my daughter's name)
Tatum(Another almost for my daughter)
Jill On Thursday, August 23 at 10:08 am
Harper and Morgan are my favorite girl names <3
Crystal On Thursday, August 23 at 10:08 am
I have an 8 yr old girl named Riley Ann. I didn't want a girly name since I was a tomboy but don't you know she is a girly girl.
Tricia On Thursday, August 23 at 10:09 am
I see you have Helen and Mae on your list…
Both are my beloved Grandma's names—Helen and Ila Mae. I so wanted to combine their names for my daughter into the closest name I could find, Meghan or some variation of the spelling.
Instead I ended up with a Samantha because I dreamed that was her name while I was pregant. So Samantha she became. Now Megan is a name my daughter loved so maybe there will be a Megan in our future yet.
Becca On Thursday, August 23 at 10:10 am
Hannah Leigh… We named our daughter Hannah before Montana after Jaime Lee Curtis' character on the tv show Anything But Love, prior to that she was going to be Savannah. One requisition of my baby names, they have to flow, otherwise when you holler out the back door you lose all parental authority when you stumble over your precious progeny's name.
Sarah On Thursday, August 23 at 10:12 am
Gemma. Pronounced "Jemma" but definitely spelled with a G. It means "gem or precious jewel" and is italian but most well-used in England so has an English association. I love it. It suits my spunky, creative, strong-willed 2 year old daughter perfectly. And her middle name is Katherine but I call her Gemma Kate a lot. Aaaah, love. I just found out I am pregnant now with twins so the name game takes on a whole new level of fun and difficulty!
Heather On Thursday, August 23 at 10:13 am
My all time favorite girl name is that of our beautiful daughter, Saiah Michelle. It is a name I conjured up back in high school, many years ago. I was reading my Bible and loved the way the name Isaiah looked. Yes, looked. I knocked off the "I" and fell in love with the name, Saiah (with a soft S). I have yet to ever meet or know of any girls named Saiah. Other girls names I love are similar to many of yours. Mae, Paige, Drew…ones that evoke sweet, beautiful and strong women!
Kasey On Thursday, August 23 at 10:13 am
My youngest is named Eleanor and it is hands down my favorite girls name. She is only 1 so we get a lot of negative comments on it, but I personally love it and think it is so classic.
Emily H On Thursday, August 23 at 11:59 am
I wish people wouldn't give negative comments on names especially if they have significant meaning to the parents and child. I like the name Eleanor also.
Sarah On Thursday, August 23 at 10:18 am
We have two girls and I adore their names:
Celeste Catherine
Juliet Rose
Classic, elegant, beautiful… just how they appear to me too!
angela On Thursday, August 23 at 10:19 am
I Love Lula Belle!!! MY favorite is Trilla Belle. My kids keep having babies and NONE of them will name a girl Trilla Belle. UGH!!!
Sarah On Thursday, August 23 at 10:20 am
We've got Victoria Michael, Brooklyn Genevieve, Isabella Mackenzie & Catarina Avery. Although I agree Sarah is an amazing name & I love my middle name Marguerite too. I'm pregnant with baby #5 and although I'm praying for a boy (#4 was supposed to be Bradley) if we have another girl we've contemplated Savannah, Rachelle & several others. All our girls have first names that are 8 letters long…pretty fun to figure out.
Laurie On Thursday, August 23 at 10:21 am
My family has used predominantly names beginning with A because my daddy is Adrian. There are only 3 granddaughters, Amanda, my niece, and my two girls, Alicia and Anna. Anna was originally going to be Angelina, but I felt that was too much name for a baby. Avery and Alaina were two others that were in the running. I also have two stepdaughters, Shawnda and Kaleena, so ending in A is another common thread. LOL
Laurie On Thursday, August 23 at 10:25 am
Our children are now blessing us with grandchildren and the names they have chosen are not as common. The girls are McKenna, Reese, Tanley, Tarryn, Brilye, Ember & Jasmine. Okay, Jasmine is one you hear quite often.
Laurie On Thursday, August 23 at 10:31 am
Our children are now blessing us with beautiful grandbabies and the monikers they assign to them aren't ones on the common list. The girls are McKenna, Reese, Tanley, Tarryn, Brilye, Ember and Jasmine. Okay, Jasmine may be one that we hear more often.
Laurie On Thursday, August 23 at 10:37 am
I didn't read through the alternate names before I wrote my first comment. Both Anna and Elaine are there! That is my youngest and favorite (OH MY, did I really say that!?!) child's full name! I gave her my middle name which I got from my mother, who was known by Elaine all of her life. What's not to love about it?!?

Home • Advanced Services • Ultrasound
Ultrasonography is a valuable, non-invasive imaging technique that complements x-rays and allows our veterinarians to better visualize internal organs in the chest and abdomen. During an ultrasound, high-frequency sound waves are directed into the body and bounce off the organs, creating a computer image of the inside of the body. This painless diagnostic tool is usually done without the need for sedation.
Ultrasound is invaluable for assisting in treatment decisions for various types of heart, abdominal, and reproductive conditions. It also allows us to biopsy organs, such as the liver and kidney, through a tiny "keyhole" incision. Ultrasound works in conjunction with other diagnostic procedures. For example, if an x-ray detects a lesion, ultrasound can help determine the origin of the lesion and whether it has spread elsewhere in the body. Using the ultrasound image as a guide, fine needle aspirates and biopsies can be obtained without major surgery and your pet can often go home the same day.

To rise above your grief and to reach people half a world away who are assumed to be the enemy takes a special person, or in this case, two special women.

The Last Throes of a MADMAN + Updates
Peace/salaam, all- For many weeks now, I've been feeling a bit pessimistic about Libya. Qaddhafi has been overly-willing to "annhilite" his own people while telling the world that his people "love him." Stranger reports have been going around about him (like his willingness to now join Al-Qaeda if the opposition does not stop. ?) The situation […] [Read More]

An informative op-ed in the Washington Times tells us of yet another episode missed by the derelict mainstream media. A "disappointed" Sen. Jeff Sessions gave an under-reported tongue-lashing to Attorney General Eric Holder at a recent hearing, listing his complaints:
When the Office of Legal Counsel attorneys told you something was unconstitutional, I think I'm not happy that you ignored that and went around them. When security officials came to you and said we should keep our interrogation methods confidential, you said no. When the civil rights of Americans were trampled on by members of the Black Panthers at the voting place, you let the offenders get away. And as the American people look to you to lead in the war against terrorism, you have remained too silent. You even granted the release of dangerous detainees, including Jose Padilla's alleged accomplice and another detainee who reportedly killed an American diplomat.
And as the Times recounts, there was also the putrid Justice Department advice on the release of the detainee abuse photos and the decision to Mirandize terrorists picked up on the battlefield.
But wait a minute. Among the 75 Senators who voted to confirm Holder there was a long list of Republicans — including Jeff Sessions. It's not as if evidence was lacking which pointed to Holder's predilection to serve up whatever legal opinion was requested by the White House (e.g., the Marc Rich and Puerto Rican terrorist pardons). Sessions and more than a dozen Republican colleagues chose to look the other way. They might be "disappointed" now — but they were warned and had an opportunity to mount serious opposition to Holder's nomination. Perhaps next time, they won't be so quick to go along for the sake of getting along.

NUIN is one of 3 Life Science PhD programs at Northwestern, and the appropriate program for anyone wishing to obtain a PhD in the field of neuroscience. The Driskill Graduate Program (DGP) in the Feinberg School of Medicine, and the Interdepartmental Biological Sciences Program (IBiS), on the Evanston campus, are appropriate for students interested in life science fields other than neuroscience. Note that most of the life science departments at Northwestern do not offer their own PhD programs.
The NUIN program currently has approximately 140 PhD students and more than 140 faculty distributed among over 20 departments across the Chicago and Evanston campuses. Approximately two-thirds of students do their thesis work in Chicago labs; approximately one-third in Evanston labs.
The NUIN PhD program is fundamentally a research based program, but students must satisfy course requirements, a TA requirement, and other requirements in addition to completing a thesis.
See the Academic Timeline for a year by year summary of events leading to the PhD
Requirements and Milestones
NUIN students must satisfy a number of requirements and reach a number of milestones in order to earn a PhD. Follow the links for details.
Students must complete at least 3 laboratory rotations, each one academic quarter in length, a process that culminates in the identification of a lab in which to conduct thesis research.
NUIN students must take 9 Units of graded coursework. These include 4 Units of required courses (NUIN 401-1,2,3 and NUIN 403) taken during the first year. The balance are electives. Electives must be relevant to a student's research, but otherwise may be chosen from among courses offered by NUIN as well as other Northwestern departments and programs. One stipulation is that at least one elective must be a "Great Experiments" course.
Seminar Attendance
During the fall, winter, and spring quarters of the first year, each student must attend at least 6 seminars presented by non-Northwestern faculty. These are documented using the NUIN Seminar Attendance form.
First Author Publication
Each student must have published or in press as a condition of graduation, at least one first author, peer reviewed article. (A co-first author publication satisfies this requirement.)
All students are expected to serve as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for two courses, usually during the second or third years.
Qualifying Exam
The NUIN Qualifying exam is taken at the very end of the second year. It is an entirely oral exam, assessing a student's mastery of fundamental neuroscience knowledge and skills required to be a successful researcher.
Thesis Committee
Students are expected to have their Thesis Committee established by the end of winter quarter of the third year. The committee is formulated in consultation with the student's advisor.
Thesis Proposal
Students must complete a written Thesis Proposal and present it to their Thesis Committee for approval by the end of the third year. Students are required to meet with the Thesis Committee, as a group or individually, at least once before the meeting at which the Thesis Proposal is presented.
Annual Meetings of the Thesis Committee
Students are required to hold formal thesis committee meetings at least once every twelve months. These events are documented by the Thesis Committee Status Report, which must be completed, signed, and submitted to the NUIN office following each meeting.
4th Year Seminar
Sometime during the fourth year, NUIN students are expected to give a public seminar. There are numerous forums on campus where this requirement can be fulfilled.
Thesis Defense
The NUIN Thesis Defense has two components. A student must first defend his or her written thesis document before the Thesis Committee. If the student passes the private defense, the student presents a public seminar on the thesis research.

Recipe by DelishD
"Delicious coconut muffins that contain no eggs, no oil, no wheat flour, and it's very easy to make. Crunchy on the outside and very moist on the inside. This is actually a recipe from Indonesia, and they use a different type of cooking tool, which is heavy steel and the dough cooked on the stove. Since I don't have that equipment, I am using the muffin baking tray and baking them instead, but they still come out very good and tasty. You can freeze some of them; also reheat with microwave, or serve in a party for snacks."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 1/2 cups
coconut milk
1 tablespoon
water, or as needed
1 1/4 cups
white rice flour
2 cups
shredded unsweetened coconut
1 teaspoon
1 tablespoon
white sugar, for sprinkling
My kids and husband have been declaring these "the best muffins ever." I do admit we are a healthy household, i usually make whole wheat no sugar added kinds of things, and we don't like super sweet food. Given that background, we love these, they are soft inside, crunchy outside, and a good snack size when mini. I think they're just sweet enough but this is what I did: I used brown rice flower instead of white and my coconut was sweetened, because that's what I had on hand.
Disappointing. The inside were glue-like (calling that "moist" is a stretch). The only flavor "hit" arrives when you chew on a piece of the shredded coconut.
30 Ratings
I'm surprised how good they are for so little ingredients. I added a bit of baking soda to make them fluffier and some dried cranberries for sweetness (skipped the sugar). Love them.
Overall - a tasty alternative to those avoiding wheat/canola oil in their cooking. We have cut out processed wheat in our diet as it packs on the pounds and try to limit our sugar intake, so baking a treat becomes a challenge. Coconut oil (in coconut milk) is a good fat that burns bad fat, so this makes this a bonus for baking! We did use sweetened coconut (on hand and needed to be used up), decreased salt to 1/2 tsp of salt and sprinkled on "whey low" - a natural sugar alternative that tastes like sugar, but low on glycemic index. Added 3 chocolate chips in about 1/4 of the mini muffin cups (YUM!) for an extra special treat. They slid right out of the silicone cups. I forgot they wouldn't rise, so I filled the cups 2/3 and they came out short, and may have even fallen. Next time I will fill the cups all the way. This recipe is a great base to start with, though good on its own. We will be making these again!
These muffins are dense and crisp on the outside moist and soft on the inside. I prepared them just as the original recipe reads- the flavor is a very delicate coconut taste- delicious. I pureed some of the raspberries we just picked and my children used that as a dipping sauce they LOVED this as a mid morning snack.
these are good
It came out really dense and bland. I pretty much threw away the whole batch. I will not be making these again.
I used glutinous rice flour as that was all I could find at the grocery store - I think it was the reason the muffin stuck to the wrapper. I sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on the muffins before baking. I also think that this muffin needs a bit of something else, but it is a great starter recipe, especially for those with allergies.

What is a
Commodity Trading Advisor
A CTA is an individual or organization which, for compensation or profit, advises others as to the value of or the advisability of buying or selling futures contracts, options on futures, or retail off-exchange forex contracts.
Providing advice includes exercising trading authority over a customer's account as well as giving advice based upon knowledge of or tailored to customer's particular commodity interest account, particular commodity interest trading activity, or other similar types of information.
All registered CTAs who manage or exercise discretion over customer accounts must be Members of NFA in order to conduct futures business with the public. (Reference: NFA website)
What is a
Detailed Report
Detailed Reports are multi-document reports consisting of a composite, summary, trade by trade analysis and equity curves, and usually ranges anywhere from 30 - 200+ pages. The composite report consists of an overall portfolio analysis and a month by month performance breakdown. This report gives an understanding of how a system performs trading multiple markets simultaneously and diversified. The summary report gives an analysis on each individual market. The trade by trade report shows each trade the system would have taken based on its logic.
Most systems that we track are tested using our own Excalibur™ testing software. The reports it generates are shown in the sample report below. We do track a handful of systems using TradeStation testing platform. Detailed Reports for those systems will be generated using the Strategy Performance Report function in TradeStation.

What is a
Master Performance Table
The heart of each issue of Futures Truth Magazine is of course, our Master Performance Table. In it, we rank and show performance on over 200 different 100% mechanical publicly offered commodity trading systems. Below is the Master Performance Table from the August/September 2000 Master Performance Table. This is just a very small sampling of the analysis that you get on over 200 different systems. The complete Master Performace Table shows Net $P/L totals for the past 5 years, Monthly Net $P/L totals for the past 12 months, and a variety of results and statistics based on the last 12 months and since the system was released to us. We track all systems from when we recieve the system forward. Any changes or modifications that we receive from vendors to systems we are tracking are date stamped as of when we get them, and only future results will be affected. This allows us to control as much as possible the effect of "curve-fitting" that some vendors like to do. You'll find no backtested results in our Master Performance Table. All rankings are based on walk-forward results only.

Why is it important to obtain a
Private Opinion Letter
BEFORE purchasing a system?
Private Opinion Letters come with system performance in synopsis form and equity curves. As it is private, it gives frank and blunt opinions about vendors and their systems. We know where there is value and where there is highly optimized garbage. John R. Hill or George Pruitt will basically state if they would or would not trade their own money on the system and the reasons why. Why not get a separate opinion before you spend your hard-earned money? We now have opinions on most major publicly offered trading systems of the past and present.
How To
Submit a System
We only track 100% mechanical, publicly offered trading systems. If your system is not currently available to the public, and you have no intention of making it so, then we won't track it in our magazine. We can still do testing on the system ($300 initial setup and $197/hour thereafter for programming time), but we will not publish any information on it. Systems tracked in the magazine are done so at no charge to the vendor.
If you are indeed still interested in sending us your system, we will send you a nondisclosure agreement. We can email this to you in a PDF format. This agreement basically states that we won't release any of the logic of your system(s). If this appears satisfactory, you can send us your system at any time. If you'd like to send it in a TradeStation format, that is fine - we can basically accept whatever format you have available. We do prefer that the logic be revealed to us so that we can program the system into our Excalibur testing software, but we do accept black box systems (usually locked up in TradeStation or as a stand-alone package). Here's where we go from here:
- Once we receive your system, we begin tracking it in house for 4 months. At the end of this 4 month incubation period, we will then verify the results we've obtained with you. If everything appears ok, we'll begin publishing the results from the beginning of the incubation period forward.
- We do accept minor changes to systems. They are date stamped as to when we receive them and are only tested forward. This helps up prevent curve fitting as much as possible.
- When you send your system, please be sure to include all information we will need to run it (ex: what data will be needed - 5 min bars, 30 min bars, which markets to track {up to a maximum of 8 markets per system} etc.) We will also need the full contact information as you wish to have it appear in our vendor index. Also include a price for the system.
Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions. We look forward to working with you.
For security purposes, the only valid email address to submit systems to is
What is a
Trading Tool
A trading tool is not a system, per se. A trading tool is a tool you can use in your trading. It can be an entry or an exit method, a trend indicator, a stop loss, anything that can be programmed and tested. A trading tool is a logically thought out and tested market principle. Futures Truth uses its experience and market knowledge to create trading tools. Trading Tools are inexpensive ways to gain market knowledge. If you are serious about trading and systems, you should get the trading tools and add them to your "tool belt" of trading methods.

But, I'm not.
No really. He's the third kid. And if I've learned anything, I've learning the rules change as this parenting thing goes along. What's important to myself and my family changes. The love is the same, if only deeper, but the details are a moving target.
There are huge benefits and some disadvantages to every spot in the birth order. This is a post about the advantages of being (currently) the baby.
This is Colin. He's 2, and this is him using 2 iPads at one time.
I did not give him 2 iPads, but he commandeered them and I took a picture instead of stoping him. Because, come on, it's funny.
When he wants to use the iPad or iPhone he wanders around the house saying, "Where go my iPad (or iPhone where appropriate)?"
We correct him, but he still claims ownership.
Colin calls ketchup "dip." He also calls chocolate syrup "dip."
When I get the milk out in the morning he follows behind saying, "Need dip. Need dip. Thank you." The thank you is of course because I put the chocolate in his milk, everyday. Don't judge. I prefer to call it a protein victory as opposed to a sugar fail.
Walker and Eli were not allowed to touch our phones at two years old or have sugar or any regular basis, but this one is the baby. My my, how things change.

Thank you for making me feel better. I was just bemoaning myself this morning that my one year old already demands to play a leapster in the car.

Savannah will ONLY drink chocolate milk and has a major meltdown if we are out of chocolate syrup and actually try to get her to drink plain milk! Ha! I figure chocolate milk is better than no milk, right?

According to Dr. Ellis at Huntsville Pediatrics, yes, chocolate milk is better than no milk. I'm so glad I've got two kiddos now, it's taught me to relax.
