Help! I have absolutely no idea what to name my baby girl and neither does my husband! The names that I really like are : Lily, Sunday, Violet, Rosalie, and Esme. Yes, i know these are weird, uncommon names but that's what i was going for. Because all my life i went through meeting people that have the same name as me and it was extremely annoying and i don't want my child to go through that! So please tell me witch one you like, if you don't like any of them i would be happy to hear a suggestion!
I worried so much about what name to give our first child...we all have name/personality hang-ups based on our own life experiences. Then one day it occured to me that naming a brand new spectacular human being was an honor, and not a reason to stress. Although it is inevitable that someone somewhere would share the name, the child would re-invent the name in his/her own way. We chose John (how un-original!!!) to honor my grandfather - and because I kinda liked it. He is, so far, my favorite "John" and it delights me! By the way, we named our second son Knute...just because we liked the way it looked written!! He has made the stoic Scandanavian name all his own...it has been so fun - he's a sillyheart!!
As a teacher, I could never name my child a name of someone that I taught. I have a daughter named Emalee Margaret (middle name after her grandmother), a son named Peyton Chase (but Payton can also be a girl's name), and another son named Logan (which I also heard of as a girls' name). If Logan had been a girl we liked Evalyn Renae(to call her Evie), Lillian (to call her Lilly), and Lola. I have a cousin named Sawyer (a girl). I like Esme and have seen it spelled Esma, as well as Violet, and Rosalie. To narrow it down, my mother always said to go to your back door, open it, and call out the first and middle name you like. If it sounds good, you know. She said to do this because when the child is outside playing, and you need to call them in, you'll know if it sounds right.
I hope this helps! Good Luck!!

Perez Launches Two Home Runs as Texas Tech Drops Penn State
Adriana Perez connected two home runs and six RBI in a 14-3 victory over Penn State Saturday.
Feb. 16, 2013
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Adriana Perez wrapped a career day at the plate with two home runs and six RBI Saturday as Texas Tech downed Penn State, 14-3, in the Troy Cox Classic held at the NMSU Softball Complex.
Perez, who also homered twice earlier in the day against UMKC, delivered a two-run shot in the first to give Tech (6-3) an early lead and then followed up with a third-inning grand slam. Her six RBI were the most for a Red Raider this season and were one shy of her career high that was set March 18 a year ago against Seton Hall.
"Adriana really saw the ball well today and hit a pair of big home runs in both games," Tech head coach Shanon Hays said. "That's the type of performance we expect out of her and she really kind of sparked our club because we had several big hits in both games. To hit four home runs in one day is really impressive, though."
The performance marked Perez' fourth career multiple home run game, giving her a team-leading seven now on the season to go along with 18 RBI, 11 of which came in two games Saturday alone. She finished 2-for-2 at the plate with a walk before Nikki Dunlap replaced her at third base to start the fourth inning.
Perez' grand slam sparked a nine-run third for the Red Raiders, their most in a single inning this year. Katelyn Williams, for the second time on the day, followed Perez' grand slam with a solo shot of her own to right field, giving Tech a 10-2 lead the time.
Sandy James and Sydnie Tapia added a RBI double and triple in the frame as well while Gretchen Aucoin drove a RBI single through the right side as part of a 2-for-3 performance at the plate that included a walk.
In the circle, Brittany Talley (3-1) delivered a solid outing, surrendering just two earned runs off five hits in the complete-game victory. The southpaw also struck out six and walked one as well.
"Not only did we hit well today but I also thought our pitching was better as well," Hays said. "Gretchen (Aucoin) gave us a solid outing in the first game and then Brittany (Talley) found her groove against Penn State. It was nice to see our pitching staff start to get comfortable out there."
Tech's 14 runs in the game matched its season high set just the day before against UMKC. It was also Tech's third-straight victory decided via run-rule.
Christy Von Pusch (0-1) picked up the loss for Penn State as she allowed all 14 runs, 10 of which were earned, off eight hits and 11 walks in the first 2.2 innings. The right-hander was replaced in the third by Macy Jones, who kept Tech off the board over the final 2.1 innings.
Karlie Habitz cut into an early Tech lead with a two-run homer to left field in the second. Kailyn Johnson later added a RBI single in the third for Penn State's final run.
The Red Raiders close the Troy Cox Classic at 2:30 p.m. (CT) Sunday afternoon as they take on host New Mexico State.

THE EXPELLED exhibition presented in European Parliament – Brussels, 3 – 7 March, 2008
The Exhibition, which was organized by the Bureau of Public Education, was on display from 3 to 7 March 2008 in the European Parliament, Brussels, Belgium. Some of the guests of the exhibition include: prof. Dieter Bingen (director of the Polish – German Institute in Darmstadt), Sławomir Czarlewski (His Excellency, Ambassador RP in the Kingdom of Belgium), dr hab. Janusz Kurtyka (President of the Institute of National Remembrance), prof. dr hab. Wojciech Roszkowski (UEN – member of the European Parliament), Bogusław Sonik (EPL-ED – member of the European Parliament), Jan Tombiński (His Excellency, Ambassador RP by the EU), dr Kazimierz Wóycicki (director of IPN Szczecin branch) and many other members of the European Parliament and guests.
The exhibition was accompanied by an additional brochure, supplied to the visitors in French and English as well. According to the declaration of the President of the IPN – dr Janusz Kurtyka, there are going to be further presentations of the exhibition in Belgium, as well as France, Germany and the United States.
The exhibition consists of numerous, large sized poster boards, which portray the enforced deportations and expulsions of Polish citizens, who suffered such repressions during the period of World War II, from both occupants – the Germans and the Soviets. The educational content of the exhibition is being complemented with large format photographs and maps, all accompanied by the three LCD displays, presenting the first hand accounts of the witnesses of these times. For the Polish collective memory, the expulsions are not the most important event of the past, and in order to emphasize this fact, we will also depict a multimedia presentation on a screen in the center of the exhibition. This display of historical facts, will be focused on the martyrdom of Polish citizens (the crimes on civilian population and prisoners of war carried out in 1939, the executions, Katyń, Palmiry forest killings, and concentration camps).
The exhibition was possible thanks to:

Outline of the exhibition's content:
World War II has put the brutal end to the Second Polish Republic (Rzeczpospolita Polska), a nation inhabited by many ethnicities, out of which the most numerous were the Poles, Ukrainians and Jews. The German aggression on Poland, on the 1st of September 1939 was feasible thanks to the German – Soviet pact, signed on the 23rd of August 1939, in which the two parties divided their spheres of influence in the Central and Eastern Europe. In accordance to these arrangements, the Soviets attacked Poland on the 17th of September 1939. Since the very first days, both of the occupants carried out repressive policies toward Polish citizens, where the most crucial element consisted of involuntary expulsions and deportations.
The expulsions of Poles were planned by the Germans even before the outbreak of the War, with its main goal among the many – the acquirement of the "living space" or Lebensraum. It was not surprising therefore, that the first expulsions were carried out even during the initial warfare stages, in the September of 1939. After taking over nearly half of the Polish territory, and eventually absorbing it to the Reich, the expulsions became systematic. Out of all of the incorporated area, altogether some 900,000 Poles were brutally expelled. German settlers were brought, in their place.
At the same time the Soviet authorities were carrying out four major deportation operations, which resulted in roughly 320,000 Polish citizens were relocated deeply into the USSR. Tens of thousands were arrested and placed in the "Gulag's". Moreover 138 thousand people were removed from the bordering regions. A very high death rate decimated the expelled and the sentenced to Gulags, as they have faced harsh transport and living conditions.
The German plans have included much more than the Polish territories, absorbed by the Reich. In 1941, after the military eruption of German – Soviet conflict, it was all of the Polish territory that found itself entirely under the German control. By that time there was already a "General Eastern Plan" (General Plan Ost) in development, which further assumed an expulsion of most Slavic nations, and among them the Poles, from Europe into Siberia. These far-reaching objective was not fulfilled entirely, though partial attempts were being conducted. Quite symbolic remnant of these attempts, is the expulsion of inhabitants of Zamojszczyzna region, which begun in November of 1942. Through the duration of the operation, some 110,000 Poles were deported, leaving 293 towns and villages completely deserted. For that space, some 12,000 German settlers were allowed to move in. Yet, probably the most tragic of all was the fate of 4,500 Polish children, who were forcefully taken away from their families and sent away to undergo the process of Germanization.
It was also the Holocaust, which was preceded by the expulsions of Jews from homes, and their brutal resettlement in the ghettos. Some of them were able to escape over to the part of Poland occupied by the Soviet Union, where yet again, majority of them faced deportation to the East.
After the defeat of the Warsaw Uprising, the Germans expelled some half a million people from the capital, while the city itself underwent a systematic and organized annihilation.
Approximately 2,857,000 Polish citizens were deported to Germany and other countries only to work in forced labor.
The Soviet Army's incursion on Polish soil in 1944 brought upon successive repressions. About 27,000 people – mainly soldiers of the Home Army (AK – Armia Krajowa) and the activists of the Polish Underground State, were removed into prison camps in the depth of USSR. Again, 17,000 Poles from the Pomorze region, and tens of thousands more Polish and German citizens from Śląsk region, were deported to work in forced labor.
The end of World War II, unfortunately did not bring the end to enforced migrations. The loss of almost half of pre-war territory on behalf of the Soviet Union caused further immense exodus of the population. More than 1,200,000 Poles were resettled within Poland's new frontiers, 300,000 have only found themselves here due to the circumstances of war, and some 270,000 were granted a return from the far ends of the USSR. In exchange, the Soviets resettled tens of thousands of Lithuanians and Byelorussians, as well as approximately half a million Ukrainians, who were forcefully driven out of the Polish territory.
According to international agreements, German citizens were also expelled out of the areas granted to Poland during the Potsdam Conference, though already some 4 million of them have abandoned and escaped these territories with the incoming frontline. Until the end of 1947, some 3,3 million more Germans were removed to the British and Soviet occupation zones. In the spring of 1947, the Polish communist authorities have expelled 140,000 Ukrainians from south-eastern Poland, which was an operation carried out under the name "Akcja Wisła" (Action Vistula), and justified by the desire to put an end to the threat of the Ukarinian Insurgent Army (UPA).
As the effect of forceful set up of the communist government in Poland, about half a million citizens, who's fate landed them anywhere in the West, were forced to stay in emigration. Most of them have never even gotten a chance to simply visit their Motherland ever since. The last wave of mass migrations came about the years 1956 – 1959, when during the period of destalinization, some 230,000 people were allowed to return to Poland from the USSR – mainly survivors, coming from the Gulags and faraway exile.
The tragic fates of the millions of forcefully expelled still remain in the shadow of the other, more savage crimes. Millions have been murdered as a result of Holocaust, hundreds of thousands became victims of the Nazi concentration camps and the Soviet Gulags, and last but not least, the extermination of Polish elites numbered in tens of thousands, carried out by both occupants as occupational policies, which are now symbolized by Katyń and the German Operation AB.
We owe our memory to all the victims of the Second World War. Remembrance allows the understanding of Europe's turbulent fate in the 20th century. Only through that remembrance, the true reconciliation is possible. And this exhibition serves that purpose…

As most shuls daven mincha right before Kaballos Shabbos, in order to daven mincha with a minyan on Friday one must light candles prior. Is it better to light candles and then daven mincha, or should one daven mincha alone and then light candles?

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The conclusion of the Shulchan Aruch (263:10) is that you can light candles without accepting Shabbos through that lighting if you have that intention when lighting. This intention does not need to be expressed (Rama there). You should still make a beracha when lighting in this situation (Mishna Berura 263:42). It would therefore be better to daven with a minyan if it is possible, and light before with intent to not accept Shabbos through the lighting.

Can we count the raindrops falling in the Tri-State? Not quite, but a new tool can help us better manage and use storm water. (File image)
CINCINNATI - Ever ask, "What is that?" Or, "Why is that?" In our "Cincy Science" feature, we talk with people who can answer those questions: The folks who do science in Cincinnati and the Tri-State.
Anyone looking at a brown lawn in summer knows the value of a good soaking rain. However, too much rain can be just as detrimental to the environment as not enough.
In order to help residents and businesses better manage rainfall, the Environmental Protection Agency has developed a Storm Water Calculator. The tool allows users to input data about their homes or businesses and design plans to reclaim storm water using rain gardens, rain barrels, permeable pavement and other resources.
EPA chief of the urban watershed branch, Michelle Simon explained they've conducted research on green infrastructure at the Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center in Clifton. Current projects include rain gardens in St. Francis Court Apartments and permeable pavement at Cincinnati State.

Q & A with Michelle Simon, chief of the Cincinnati EPA's Urban Watershed Branch.
1. Why is managing storm water so important?
I want to encourage people to think of water as a precious resource. I think people are becoming more aware. They're very aware in the west about reclaiming water and getting enough water for their drinking water needs. I think people in this area are less aware, but I still think we have the same problem of having storm water carry contamination to our surface water bodies and we don't want it. We're very lucky to have the Great Lakes and the Ohio River so close, but we still need to manage our storm water. Even cities like Atlanta have had trouble with water and I'm sure everybody knows about the drought in California and how dangerous that has become.
2. What challenges do we face with storm water locally?
Here in Cincinnati we have a combined sewer, so when storm water gets to be a higher amount than the Cincinnati Metropolitan Sewer District can handle, it will overflow. You then have sewage overflowing into streams, rivers and lakes with a lot of bacteria and contaminants like fertilizers and pesticides that cause ecological damage for these water bodies. Storm water is one of the leading contributors to surface water pollution in country. The EPA and the MSD are working hard to reduce the amount of storm water overflow to reduce the amount of contamination.
3. How vital is it to the environment that we collect storm water?
It's very important. I'm sure that you've gone past someone's house and they're watering in the middle of the day. A lot of the water will evaporate, so it would make more sense to water your lawn in the summer at night. And if you can use landscaping that doesn't require a lot of water, unlike a lawn, you'd need to water less. Use indigenous plants and landscape your property so you have a little bit of lawn and a lot of natural shade. Route the water on your property so you don't have to artificially water various different areas. You don't want someone watering their lawn and having a lot of runoff coming off of it. It's a waste of water and it introduces contamination to the environment. You also don't want to over-fertilize and use a lot of pesticides and then water, because that will just get flushed into the storm water.
4. I know we have some lakes that have been horribly affected by algae in Ohio. Is that due to runoff from storm water?
Yes, like Grand St. Mary's Lake and Lake Harsha in East Fork State Park, there are various lakes that were made to be drinking water reservoirs. Pesticides and fertilizers from either agriculture or residential sources gets into these lakes, causes algal bloom so the oxygen content gets lower and the fish suffer. So we definitely have that problem here.
5. Can these lakes be cleaned and made usable again?
Yes they can. We just need to manage how much fertilizer and pesticides we put on our fields and lawns. We can put in things like wetlands that can act as filters to prevent the contamination from getting into the reservoir. We're working hard with the Lake Harsha people and the Army Corp of Engineers to manage Lake Harsha so we won't have algal bloom. You've probably also gone to a reservoir at various times and seen a health advisory because there's either toxic algae or a bunch of bacteria and people aren't able to swim. So we think that by just managing the land around the reservoir we can prevent these types of incidents from occurring.
6. How user-friendly is the Storm Water Calculator?
I think it's very user friendly. Once you download it, you input your address and it kind of takes you through the process. It helps you identify your soil, your type of infiltration and your drainage. It can help you size your rain gardens and help you calculate how much it would reduce your runoff. We find it very easy to use and we encourage the public to give it a try.
7. What data is important to calculate with storm water?
You have rainfall. Some of it will infiltrate into the ground, some evaporate and transfer back into the air, and some of it will run off. Obviously, if you have a heavy rain of long duration, you're going to have more runoff than if you have a light rain of short duration. So those are the kinds of data that we collect, measure and use for our mathematical model to calculate runoff.
The urban environment has a lot of impermeable surfaces. The water will run off streets, roofs and highways. If there were no manmade structures there it would infiltrate into the ground. So the built environment is different from the natural environment. And the way that Cincinnati has traditionally handled storm water is it falls onto the streets and runs into the sewer and it goes through pipes and that's called gray infrastructure. Things like permeable pavement, rain gardens and rain barrels are a way to collect water and not have too much of it run off. And you want to size these structures so that they can handle the amount of rain that falls on your impermeable environment.
8. Are there other options for homeowners besides rain gardens and rain barrels to collect runoff?
You can use a soaker instead of a typical way to water your garden. Soak it so it soaks in and you don't have a lot of runoff with the rain barrels. You want to put your rain garden in a natural divot so that water will drain into it and you won't have to purchase water in order to keep your rain garden full. There are a number of ways a homeowner can use storm water that falls on his or her property directly. And they're not expensive, it's just a matter of practices.

Ratnabadra was born into the well-known family of Soksam-khar Drongbu Goshir, in Soksam. From a young age, he was ordained as a monastic. He received the higher training in Buddhist philosophy, logic, and other fields of knowledge at Palden Sangphu. He then went on a tour to great monastic institutions in Tibet, engaging in debate and discussion on four main topics – Madhyamaka, Prajnaparamita, Vinaya, and Abhidharma-Kosha. He became one of the greatest scholars of sutra and tantra and thus was called "Rikpe Raltri" (sword of philosophy and logic). He received the full transmission of the Kagyu lineage from the Fifth Karmapa Deshin Shekpa, through which he attained complete realization of the absolute reality and became one of the supreme meditation masters of the time.
Ratnabhadra passed on the full transmission of the Kagyu lineage to the Sixth Karmapa, Thongwa Dhönden.
Pawo Rinpoche said that the Sixth Karmapa Thongwa Dhonden wrote Ratnabhadra's biography but it was not available at the time of Pawo Rinpoche. So, here is the brief version as recorded by Pawo Rinpoche. These details about Ratnabhadra are compiled from Pawo Tsuklak Trengwa's Feast For Scholars (chos 'byung mkhas pa'i dg'a ston), Beijing edition, vol. 2, pp. 1022-03. May this be virtuous!

If you have a Hobby Lobby around, you can get a "molding" kit. The product is called Alumilite. You can check on-line also (at the same name) .com. I used their kit for other things with nice results, but it is kind of expensive.
I would be cautious of using anything on a good coin. You may want to try experimenting with a coin that you don't mind possibly ruining. Kind of like the warnings you see on products that say "test in an inconspicuous area first" same principle.
The Secret Service would like to know... why you want to mold a coin?

The situation in Iraq, with ISIS running rampant though the land, is worsening. Obama's Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told reporters that ISIS is "an imminent threat to every interest we have, whether it's in Iraq or anywhere else." Even though Hagel also warned that ISIS is "beyond anything we've seen," little has been done to stop the atrocities. ISIS victims have been beheaded, crucified, and buried alive. For months now, the terror group has committed genocide as part of their efforts to "purify the land" of Iraqi Christians and other religious minorities. The recent brutal execution of American reporter, James Foley, put ISIS in front of the public's eyes, but the brutality has been raging for months. Thousands of women have been raped and then beheaded, along with their children. In an even more gruesome act, which humanity hasn't seen for over a thousand years, their heads were placed on posts for display! We cannot turn a deaf ear to the cries of our persecuted brothers and sisters.
The first order of concern is the need for persistent prayer. When asked what the persecuted desire most, prayer is primary. Evil cannot be fought only by human endeavors but with spiritual weapons. "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much" (James 5:16). Let our prayers be with dedication and passion. Tell our friends, churches, pastors about the horrors being perpetrated and join in prayer. We must remember: " For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). What is happening now is evil incarnate and must be fought first with prayer, then take action!
A number of organizations have their finger on the pulse of what is happening. Eric Watt, president of RUN Ministries shared a story of new atrocities. "Late last night, I got an urgent message that more than 1,000 hostages were trapped in a school in northern Iraq: frightened, hungry and helpless. Earlier in the day, they watched as their daughters and wives were forcibly converted to Islam and sold as slaves to Muslims. All were threatened, and no one knew if they would live another day."
RUN (Reaching Unreached Nations) Ministries has trained elite teams that have been mobilized to rescue hundreds of men, women, and children. But more must be done to keep Iraqi Christians and other religious minorities in ISIS' path safe, protected, and fed. Their network of believers in the Middle East are uniquely and strategically positioned to rescue thousands facing hunger, dehydration, exposure, and ISIS genocide. You can donate through Grassfire or on RUN"s website.
Open Doors has been working with the persecuted church for years and has an informative action plan on their web-site. They also list the top countries for persecution and publish a Prayer Watch bulletin that you can sign up to receive. The Voice of the Martyrs, started by Ricahard Wormbrand, has been a voice for decades citing the plight of these persecuted Christians. Samaritans' Purse, directed by Franklin Graham, has recently come on board in helping the persecuted in Iran and Iraq. However, his ministry has helped thousands of children in 100 different countries.
You can find out more about these organizations by visiting their web-sites and donate to any of these organizations either on line or by mail.
Whatever you choose to do, choose well. "Then He(Jesus) will answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me" (Matthew 25:45).

TALLAHASSEE-- Colorado pot stores do a brisk business. Armed guards stand ready at the door.
But all the cash generated from sales is posing a problem for entrepreneurs and bankers alike. Marijuana is still illegal under federal law and the banks are regulated by the feds.
Now, here in a Florida, a 40 page glossy presentation from the office of financial regulation is warning that banks could face a host of federal charges if they deposit cash from legal marijuana sales in Florida that will begin next year.
"There is a know your customer clause which doesn't allow a bank to actually bank certain entities if they are dealing with criminal activity," Greg Hila of the Office of Financial Regulation said.
Florida bankers are already saying "no thanks."
"We follow all federal laws and regulations and as such we do not bank anyone related to the marijuana business," Mike Fields, President of Bank of America in Florida, said.
And if voters legalize medical marijuana by approving amendment two the problem is only going to get more complicated for everybody.
Pot was designated a schedule one drug with no medical use in 1970. The sponsor of the Charlotte's Web legislation that passed this year says the designation has to change.
"It's been proven to be ridiculous by virtually every scientific study. And the Federal government has failed the people of this country," Rep. Matt Gaetz, (R) Ft. Walton Beach, said.
The stakes are big, nation wide, the sale of legal pot this year alone is expected to generate $2.5 billion.
Ohio and Pennsylvania are both voting this year on legalizing medical marijuana. Alaska and Oregon will vote on legalizing recreational use.

Ahh, for the halcyon days of mid-'90s hip-hop pool party videos. Back in those days, you couldn't turn on MTV for 15 minutes without seeing 2Pac or The Notorious B.I.G. surrounded by a bevy of beauties and a shimmering, ever-so-blue pool for the swimming and flirtatious-pushing-in. Much kudos, then, to French Montana and his much-more-famous buddies for bringing it all back with the "Pop That" video, a clip featuring a glorious private estate, no shortage of bikini-clad women, and yes, a swimming pool full of scandalous activity.
That's all the video needs to be awesome, really, but that's only the beginning of the treasures that "Pop That" holds in store. We also get treated to:
- French Montana wearing a towel on his head like a sultan. (Which might just be his thing now—if so, we're down.)
- Drake wearing glasses that make him look like a '70s L.A. movie producer. (Scummy Drake—we just can't get enough.)
- The bikini girls shooting Super Soakers. (Supposed to be sexually provocative, but more just makes us elementary school summers.)
- Lil Wayne on a skateboard while rapping about being on a skateboard. ("I'm on my skateboard / Watch me do a trick." Sure.)
- Inexplicable shifts between daytime and nighttime settings throughout the video. (When you're at a party this good, does it even matter?)
Watch it if you're feeling cramped in your office or classroom today. You'll feel like you're sipping on a Ciroc mimosa in no time.

Whether treating a toddler in an emergency or supporting a teen through chemotherapy treatments, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. It's through teamwork at every level of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and with you, the family, that we are able to achieve excellence in pediatric care.
See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.
See our clinical services
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
We all want happy, healthy kids. But as a busy parent, helping your kids eat well and stay active can be a challenge.
At Strong4Life, created by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, our doctors, nutritionists and wellness experts create fun, easy ways to help your kids eat, move and live healthier. From picky eaters to passionate gamers, we have a slew of simple tips by experts who understand, because we're parents, too.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
Our cardiac team of pediatric specialists is led by William Mahle, M.D., Chief, Cardiac Services and Brian Kogon, M.D., Chief, Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Cardiac Call Center Talk to a cardiologist or nurse. Make an appointment. Make a referral. 404-256-2593 800-542-2233
At Sibley Heart Center Cardiology, more than 45 pediatric cardiologists care for kids from birth to age 21. We provide services in 22 outpatient locations and 40 hospitals throughout Georgia.
Though our International Patient Services, we help meet the unique needs of families traveling from outside of the United States.
For some children with abnormal pulmonary valve function, such as a severe narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (insufficiency), Children's now offers the Melody® Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve therapy. The procedure replaces the pulmonary valve so blood moves easily from the heart to the lungs, without leaking back into the heart. The valve is placed using a catheter that is guided into the heart from a vein in the leg or neck.
While the Melody® Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve cannot be used in all cases of abnormal pulmonary valve function, it can give doctors an alternative to traditional open-heart procedures. If your child has abnormal pulmonary valve function, talk to his cardiologist about whether this therapy may be able to help.
Children's is the only pediatric hospital in Georgia offering this procedure. Until now, abnormal pulmonary valve function could only be repaired by replacing the pulmonary valve through open heart surgery, which meant a longer recovery time, both in the hospital and at home. With the Melody® Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve therapy, a child will typically be able to get back to his usual life in just a couple of days.
Watch the story of Phillip Reiter, one of the first patients to receive this technology in Georgia, to see how the procedure is giving his family new hope.

Quotes from the Carolina Panthers' locker room after their 31-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints:
"It's a comfortable place for them. There are no elements. They've got the crowd behind them, which is a huge plus for them as well. They are on turf, not natural grass, which is a little different. It helps as far as their speed and timing. The things they do here, they do very very well. We will see how things go when they come to Carolina." -- Panthers coach Ron Rivera on what makes the Mercedes-Benz Superdome such an advantage for the Saints.
"Drew Brees looks good every night, we've got to get better. We have to go work on the fundamentals. I need to work on myself personally and we need to stay together as a team. We need to be ourselves when we come back Sunday." -- defensive end Greg Hardy on adjusting in two weeks to what he saw from Brees on Sunday night.
"At the end of the day it's about what we do. You can't get down in the red zone and don't get points, we can't let the defense come out there and get a stop and we don't do nothing with it on offense. We just kept getting in our own way, but we have to regroup tomorrow and come back and play well." -- receiver Brandon LaFell on the offense settling for field goals.
"Nothing about it feels good. We are 9-4, so the sky isn't falling. We just got use to winning, eight weeks in a row now. We wanted to win, we prepared well. We just didn't play well." -- left tackle Jordan Gross on if the loss is easier to swallow knowing they play the Saints again in two weeks.
"We don't need to make that many adjustments, I think our coaches had a pretty good game plan. I can't wait to play them again, we've got 13 days but we have a big task against the Jets so we can't overlook them. We've got to take care of them and then we will get a shot at these guys again." -- free safety Mike Mitchell on the adjustments the team needs to make before facing the Saints again.

Cedar Preservation Systems specializes in the installation, repair, cleaning, preservation and replacement of cedar shake roofing, siding and decks. Over time the natural oils in the wood dry out, this can lead to warping and buckling of the shakes and shingles. Cedar is also subject to attack by moss and various microorganisms which if left unchecked can greatly reduce the life expectancy of your roof and deck. Ultra-violet rays from the Sun together with water absorption from the natural elements can also adversely affect the material.
We offer a no obligation inspection of your property. Once we have completed this we will develop a tailor made scope of works, unique to your situation, in order to put your cedar installation into the best possible condition. Timely and scheduled maintenance work can save thousands of dollars in future avoidable costs.

An incredible Schnauzer stamp issued by Afghanistan in 2003.
Afghanistan is a mountainous land-locked country located in Central Asia. It has a history and culture that goes back over 5000 years. Throughout its long, splendid, and sometimes chaotic history, this area of the world has been known by various names. In ancient times, its inhabitants called the land Aryana. In the medieval era, it was called Khorasan, and in modern times, its people have decided to call it Afghanistan. The exact population of Afghanistan is unknown, however, it is estimated to be somewhere around 21-26 million. It is slightly smaller than Texas. They have cold winters and hot summers. Some current issues are limited fresh water resources, inadequate supplies of potable water, overgrazing and deforestation.The capital is Kabul. The majority of the population continues to suffer from insufficient food, clothing, housing, and medical care, problems exacerbated by military operations and political uncertainties.
Beyond barter and shuttle trade, the best long-term economic prospects for Amurskaya territory appear to be farming, food processing and packaging, as well as timber, and mining. Amurskaya is located in Russia, in the south of the Far East. More than one-third of the population live in the rural area. Since 1933 the death rate is higher than the birth rate. Due to the negative natural increase and migration from the region the total population of Amurskaya is intensely decreasing.

This stamp was issued by Angola in 2000.
Angola is in Africa near the Congo and on the Atlantic Coast. Portuguese is the official language of the government and business, but only about 42 percent of the population of 10 million is literate, 56 percent of males and 28 percent of females. The current issues facing the country are overuse of pastures and subsequent soil erosion attributable to population pressures; desertification; deforestation of tropical rain forest, in response to both international demand for tropical timber and to domestic use as fuel, resulting in loss of biodiversity; soil erosion contributing to water pollution and siltation of rivers and dams; inadequate supplies of potable water. Angola is a developing country at war, and civil unrest has been ongoing since the country's 1975 independence from Portugal.

Present day Benin was the site of Dahomey, a prominant West African kingdom that rose in the 15th century. The territory became a French Colony in 1872 and achieved independence on Autust 1, 1960, as the Republic of Benin. A succession of military Governments ended in 1972 with the rise to powere of Mathieu KEREKOU and the establishment of a government based on Marxist-Leninist principles. A move to representative government began in 1989. Two years later, free elections ushered in former Prime Minister Nicephor SOGLO as presdent, marking the first successful transfer of power in Africa from a dictatorship to a democracy. KEREKOU was returned to power by elections held in 1996 and 2001, though some irregularities were alleged.
The climate is tropical, hot, humid in south; semiarid in north; mostly flat terrain with some hills and low mountains; they have some envronmental issues such as inadequate supplies of potable water, and poaching of wildlife. The official capital is Porto-Novo; Cotonou is the seat of government.

Buriatia is in southern Siberia near Lake Baykal on the Mongolian border and such the Buryat people are Buddhists as well.
The collapse of the Soviet Union has created a gold mine for stamp collectors.

This is a real boon when you see such lovely examples as this stamp put out by Buriatia.

This stamp was issued in 1999 by Chuvashia.

During Worl War II the colony joined Chad in supporting the Free French cause against the Vichy government. The Congo proclaimed its independence without leaving the French Community in 1960, calling itself the Republic of Congo.

Like the rest of the Channel Islands, Guernsey is steeped in history. Up to 6,500BC, the islands were in fact part of the French mainland until the Ice Age came to an end. Discoveries in the 20th century have shown evidence of mankind dating back to 5,000 BC (New Stone Age) when tribes, possibly from Spain moved here. All around Guernsey are traces of neolithic man, including defensive earth works, menhirs and dolmens. There are burial chambers built above the ground and several survive in remarkably good condition.

Guyana is a little country, which lies on the North Eastern shoulder of South America near the equator. Said to be the legendary El Dorado, Guyana is the only English-speaking country located in South America. The name 'Guyana' is derived from an Amerindian word meaning; land of many waters - and indeed it is a land of many waters- with three mighty rivers and many tributaries, creeks and waterfalls.
The British founded Guyana in 1781. It passed for a while to the French, who largely rebuilt it, and in 1784 to the Dutch, who called the capital Stabroek. Regaining control in 1812, the British government renamed it British Guiana. In 1966 it became an independent Guyana.

Kalmykia is a republic within the Russian Federation. The Kalmyks settled the Volga River region in the seventeenth century. A Mongol people, they were originally Buddhist in faith. Annexed to Russian in 1771, a Kalmyk Autonomous Province was created by the Bolsheviks in 1920. This was abolished during the Second World War, when, in common with many other ethnic minorities, the Kalmyks were deemed to have displayed insufficient enthusiasm for fighting for Communism. The customary mass deportations followed. An Autonomous Republic was re-established in 1958.

The economy in Russia since the break up of the Soviet Union has such high inflation that stamps that were previously issued are
not of enough value to mail a letter any more, so to remedy the situation, the local Post Offices have taken blocks of five "old" printed stamps and overprinted them with a new image and a new value. The Schnauzer shown above on the right is one of these "Russian Overprints" from Osettia. These stamps come in a set of five different colored stamps all with the same overprint. Last time that I got in some overprints, I assumed that they would remain available. I was wrong and I never saw more copies of those. I expect these to be equally as rare and collectable. There is no telling how many of the overprints they produced (not many), since they were never designed to be sold on the world market. They are of value only for a short while until the actual stamps can be printed. The stamp on the left was ultimately issued by Kalmykia with the Schnauzer image from the overprint from Osettia.
I found some very interesting information when searching for a history of Ossetia. It lies near the Black Sea in the Russian region of Georgia. Today's 700,000 North and South Ossetians are herdsmen and horsemen, probably descended from the Scythian warrior nomads of ancient Greek times.
Like the first settlers of Yorkshire they use the word 'Don' for river and, like the people of Ossett, they chose the fleece as an emblem. A fleece also appears at the center of Ossett's coat of arms.
Is there a connection? Some versions of the Greek legend of Jason and the Argonauts tell us that on his long homeward voyage Jason took the Golden Fleece by river journey from the Black Sea to the North Sea – a route well known to the Vikings who are thought to have founded Ossett. In addition, Ossett is a Viking place name that may mean 'Osla's seat' or 'ridge camp'. Did Vikings found Ossetia? Perhaps. In the meantime, the local government of both North Ossetia and South Ossetia have issued a few fascinating stamps and souvenir sheets, including this set of 5 overprints.

Karakalpakia, now under the domain of Uzbekistan, is on the edge of the shrinking Aral Sea, which has recently revealed a shocking scale of environmentally induced disease. Women and children are most severely affected from the spread of pesticides and other pollutants as the lake - once the fourth largest in the world - has turned into a desert, its waters siphoned off to irrigate vast cotton fields and rice paddies in Central Asia. Over 20 per cent of the young women, aged 13-19, have kidney disease, and another 23 per cent suffer from thyroid dysfunctions. And many women have high levels of lead, zinc and strontium in their blood. Although the Aral Sea probably has less than 10 years of life left, if nothing is done to salvage what remains of it, the 1.1 million residents of Karakalpakia are under immediate health threats. If nothing is done to improve the health of the people we may be witnessing the end of another entire society as a result of human folly.
Schnauzer Karakalpakia ... $5.95 each
The Republic of Karelia is a remarkably beautiful land of white nights, boundless forests, and blue lakes. It is located on the border of Western and Eastern Europe, on the border of cultures and religions. Severe beauty of its nature, the climate, not too favourable in these latitudes, the coexistence and intermingling of various peoples inhabiting this land for centuries all that conditioned the character of the people living here: very laconic, self-assured, contemplative, and tolerant people. It also accounts for the fact that there is no national strife and terrorism in this land.
This stamp was issued in 2000.

In 1525 Portuguese navigators in search of the Spice Islands (Indonesia) came upon Yap and Ulithi, now in Micronesia. Spanish expeditions later made the first European contact with the rest of the Caroline Islands. Spain claimed sovereignty over the Caroline Islands until 1899. At that time, Spain withdrew from its Pacific insular areas and sold its interests to Germany, except for Guam which became a US insular area. Japan took over during World War II and by the War's conclusion most infrastructure had been laid waste by bombing, and the islands and people had been exploited by the Japanese Military to the point of impoverishment. After the war, the United Nations set up a trust that was administered by the US. On July 12, 1978 the people voted in a referendum to form a Federation under the Constitution of the Federated States of Micronesia.

Sao Tome E Principe was discovered and claimed by Portugal in the late 15th century, the islands' sugar-based economy gave way to coffee and cocoa in the 19th century - all grown with plantation slave labor, a form of which lingered into the 20th century.

Though the first free elections were held in 1991, the political environment has been one of continued instability with frequent changes in leadership and coup attempts in 1995 and 2003.

Sierra Leone was a British colony to which freed slaves returned in the late 1700's. After Independence in 1961, a small political elite, who exclusively profited from the lucrative trade in diamonds, dominated successive governments.

After much fighting and insurrection the UN was finally convinced to send a peacekeeping force that was in the news for many months.

Touva (often spelled Tuva) is a country in the southern area of Siberia. It's a unique place with the landscapes ranging from the desert to the permafrost, and local fauna-from camels to reindeers. Touva is known as almost the only place in the world where shamanism, a very ancient religion, is preserved, kept and cultivated in its original form.
The republic of Touva lies at the upper reaches of the Siberian Yenisey River and forms a barrier between Russia and Mongolia. Since its independence from the former Soviet Union, Tuva continues to struggle to work on the appropriate way to safeguard and develop its own identity and sovereignty going through the difficult changes from a command-orientated planned economy towards an open market economy. Like so many other former Russian states, the diversity of the people is starting to be felt as the original culture, traditions and religion are gaining more followers.

Venda is a part of South Africa. Under acts of the South African Parliament, land ws set aside for blacks in psudeoindependent territories (originally called "Bantustans"), allegedly to allow black self- government and cultural preservation. Venda was designated for Venda-speaking people. In reality the homelands allowed the white government to control blacks and exclude them from the political process. In 1973, Venda was granted "self-government," and in 1979 it became the third homeland to be granted "independence" from south Africa. As an independent state, all residents of Venda were treated as foreignors in the remainder of South Africa. The UN Security Council condemned the homelands policy as an attempt by the white government to further
and Venda was not recognized internationally as an independent state. Venda was reabsorbed into South Africa in 1994.

* We can take visa, mastercard, discover, or PayPal. We try to keep all stamps in stock, so we probably have the ones that you are looking for.
Truly one of the cheapest unique treats for yourself or a friend (great for club trophies as well!)
* It is absolutely true that you will often find some of these stamps at very reasonable prices -- some can be had for under a dollar. On the other hand, if you add in the gas, hours, and hassles that it has taken to find them, you may find it easier to just get them from us while we have them :*) I don't always count on getting more in the near future. I get them when I can find them and the stock is not always constant.
