Bobbi-Toads Nail Polish Sneakers: Ga Ga or Gag?
That's where Bobbi-Toads ($50) comes in, a kids' sneaker with embossed toes (and toenails) that are prime for painting. Yes, we said painting — with real nail polish. Simply apply your lil one's favorite nontoxic nail color to the toe portion of the shoe — or purchase a bottle of Bobbi-Polish nontoxic color ($8) and apply it — let it dry, and send your colorful kid on her way. When she's grown bored of the color, simply use a nontoxic polish remover on the shoe and then paint on your next color.
The six styles of shoes, available in sizes from little girls' 11-13 to big girls' 1-6 are designed to "give girls the ability to express themselves, make a unique fashion statement, and, most of all, have fun," according to founder Jacki Stanley. So tell us: would your tot love a pair of Bobbi-Toads?

Tennessee in the Great War, 1914 - 1918: A Guide to Collections @ TSLA
Public Services Resource Guide #06
World War I, the "War to End All Wars," was a bloody conflict of immense proportions. As we know, it certainly did not end war. European hostilities had broken out in 1914 when two alliances failed to reach diplomatic solutions to complex problems. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson campaigned for reelection on the slogan "He kept us out of war." However, in 1917, Wilson convinced Congress to declare war on Germany after a series of outrages against the United States. The Allied Powers (Great Britain, France and Russia), were pitted against the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey) in a struggle that would radically alter the map and sow the seeds of another world war. With a few notable exceptions, the fiercest fighting took place in France and tiny Belgium. The Atlantic Ocean became a battleground because of unrestricted submarine warfare, and theaters of war operated in the Middle East and the Balkans.
American troops, or "doughboys," began arriving in France in 1917, though they did not participate in major action until 1918. The American public followed the campaigns enthusiastically especially in newspapers and letters from the front. General John J. Pershing commanded the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), at its largest consisting of 4 million troops, some 2 million of them overseas. Over 100,000 Tennesseans volunteered or were drafted during the First World War, six of them winning the Medal of Honor. Alvin C. York of the 82nd Infantry was perhaps the war's greatest common soldier. Of humble origins from Fentress County, York won his Medal of Honor for heroism in the Argonne Forest. He was cited for killing 28 German soldiers and capturing 132 prisoners. France presented him with its Croix de Guerre.
The armistice of 11 November 1918 ended the shooting, but it was not until 1919 that the Treaty of Versailles formally ended the war. The United States never ratified the treaty. Tennessee troops returned as heroes to grand homecomings all across the state.
TSLA's collections are unique in that so many papers are interrelated, especially those involving the 30th Infantry, known as the "Old Hickory Division." The collections bear great significance for scholars and students of World War I especially those researching Tennessee's contributions. Tennesseans served with distinction at St. Mihiel, the Meuse-Argonne offensive, the Somme, and the Battle for the Hindenburg Line. Below are some of TSLA's major holdings.
* The Luke Lea Papers are TSLA's premier WWI collection filled with

* The Jacob McGavock Dickinson Papers are especially important for students of warfare. The five scrapbooks in the collection contain original battle maps used by Jacob McGavock Dickinson, Jr., of the 43rd (Rainbow) Division. Microfilm 836
* The Frierson-Warfield Papers provide wartime accounts of two Maury County men, Major Horace Frierson (114th FA) and Captain Francis B. Warfield (105th Engineers) of the 30th (Old Hickory) Division. Frierson's journal is of unique interest as well as the photographs collected by both men. The images depict modern weaponry and the wretched conditions of trench warfare on the Western Front. Some very fine examples of U.S. Army Signal Corps photos are included.
* Ray Wallace Billington Papers. In 1917, Dr. R.W. Billington volunteered for service in the U. S. Army Medical Corps and went overseas with a group of orthopedic surgeons who were loaned by the U. S. Government to the British for performing special reconstructive surgery. Microfilm 1232

I've noticed that the "NEW" SC245 has a 2 pc bridge and it says that it for enhancing its vintage tone.
What are the pros & cons of having a design change from 1 wrap to 2 pc? I've played older SC245s that had the wrap-around and the sound just blew me away as well as the feel & the tuning stability of it. I haven't had the chance to play a 2 pc PRS let alone to compare the two bridge designs.
Anyone have any experience with these..?

SACKETS HARBOR Jennifer L. Berie, a Spanish teacher at Sackets Harbor Central School, said it was meant to be.
After finding out that her kidney was a perfect match for a former student whose kidney function was rapidly plummeting, Mrs. Berie, Adams, decided to become a donor.
My surgeon said it was like my body was making a kidney just for him, she said.
She and 23-year-old Nicholas T. Thompson, who had been her student six years ago, had their operations June 4 at Strong Memorial Hospital, Rochester.
With only 10 percent kidney function before the surgery, Mr. Thompson was gray and was sleeping more than 16 hours a day.
When they came out of the operating room, Mr. Thompsons new kidney already was working. His kidney function shot up to 58 percent, and Mrs. Berie felt well enough to go back to work 13 days later to finish the school year.
Mr. Thompson, Sackets Harbor, was diagnosed with kidney reflux when he was 6 years old. The doctors told him he would eventually need a kidney transplant, possibly in his 20s.
Two years ago, he noticed his body was not working right. When he went to the doctor, he found out that he had renal immune-complex disease, an auto-immune disease that rapidly deteriorates the kidneys.
I started getting really tired, he said. Id go to work, shower and go to sleep.
He began to regularly sleep 16 hours a day and once slept for 21 hours.
Sitting in front of his second bowl of salsa and a massive bowl of tortilla chips, he recounted how he hardly ate for a year before the surgery. At the time, he was taking 26 pills in the morning and 11 at night and making the trip to Strong Memorial twice a week.
His mother, Tina M. Thompson, wanted to donate a kidney to her son but found out she had a low-functioning kidney. Mr. Thompsons older sister had health problems, and his younger siblings were too young to be organ donors.
Mrs. Berie heard about the familys predicament through Mr. Thompsons sister Emily, who was a senior at Sackets Harbor Central at the time. Mrs. Berie said she approached Mrs. Thompson to find out about the familys next step.
Not that it was any of my business, Mrs. Berie said. I dont even know why I went. She said, We have to hope someone can donate.
Although Mrs. Thompson tried to talk her out of it, Mrs. Berie said, she decided to see whether she could be a match for kidney donation. Three weeks after she completed blood work at Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown, Mrs. Berie received a packet with a list of her numbers and her blood type O.
After follow-up testing in Rochester, she found out just how well-kept her kidneys were she said the doctors compared hers to a Marines.
By the end, they said Im one of the healthiest donors theyve had, Mrs. Berie said.
Laughing, she said she had to sign paperwork to say she that was not being paid to donate the kidney. She also was warned that she might get negative feedback from her school or from other parents after the surgery. However, the school district has been very supportive of her decision, she said.
After Mrs. Berie was approved for the donation, her surgery team explained to her and her family exactly what to expect. She said she had never had surgery and was a little nervous.
They did a great job of explaining it to me, she said. They prepared me and my husband pretty well. I just wanted to make sure everything went well we have a family. We had some reservations, but they said theres no reason for things to go wrong.
Mr. Thompson, who never complained at work or to his family about his illness, was more worried about how his former teacher would feel after the surgery.
With the operations complete, Mrs. Berie has one kidney and Mr. Thompson has three. He still has to take pills but is down to 17 in the morning and nine at night. He has to go to the hospital only once a week to get his blood drawn.
I dont know if I ever felt this good, he said.
He said he plans to go to Jefferson Community College, Watertown, in the fall to pursue an associate degree in computer information technology.
His mother said the entire Berie family has been generous to hers. On Monday, the day Mr. Thompson was cleared by doctors to resume drinking coffee, both families joked around like theyve known each other for years.
The families plan to walk together as Team Kidney Strong at the National Kidney Foundations Kidney Walk set for July 28 in Clayton.
Were so lucky it went so smoothly, Mr. Thompson said.

Arc Floor Lamps
The arcing floor lamp is an icon of modern design, specifically mid-century modern design. The first of these modern floor lamps was the Arco Floor Lamp, designed in 1962 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni. The design then is the same design used in variations today: a heavy base (usually marble) out of which a slim stem arcs grandly across a space, terminating in a large shade (often a dome of metal that matches the stem). It is a simple structure, but dramatic in its sweep; that arc often extends several feet. It is all-in-all an impressive feat of architectural engineering.

Linstead Parva, nr. Southwold
Enchanting and unusual, this little granary conversion and former stockman's cottage simply oozes character, set beside the owner's pink washed 14th century Suffolk long house on a working farm, and encircled by 60 acres of quintessential high Suffolk countryside, perfect for walking, they are historically linked to the medieval site of Sibton Abbey. The attractive market town of Halesworth is just 4 miles, whilst Southwold, RSPB Minsmere, Dunwich and many other delights of the Suffolk Heritage coastline are about 12 miles. A trout lake is 1 mile and cycle hire, fishing, riding and golf are all available nearby. Shop and pub 2 miles.
