- Review by Grandson's 1st Birthday Book Happy my grandson will have his 1st birthday book to keep for always!! I was only disappointed that his picture wasn't in the book!! I thought I had uploaded one to be in the book but it wasn't in it or I couldn't find it on my order form. Not sure what happened!!

Boys First Birthday
- Review by Lauren Love, love, love!! Ordered for my nephews 1st birthday. He loves the animals and colors and this has it all! The colors and design great - seems very realistic and not that cartoon look. I love that I could pick the little inscription from me, add his photo, and it includes him throughout which he loves! We can point to different animals and colors and learn, and the story is so fun! I will be ordering MANY more throughout the years - still have a niece an another nephew with 1st birthdays this year and there are other great ones to give to the mommy and daddy's about their child! So happy I came across this site. Prices were good too compared to others I found. It's a special and sentimental gift that they will have forever. Book quality excellent too!
Perfect gift!
- Review by Michelle Got this for my nephew's first birthday and it was a hit. I loved that you could put a photo in and it mentioned his name throughout the book. The illustrations were great too.
1st Birthday
- Review by Happy - Happy - Happy So extremely happy with the personalized book and the special gift box I purchased was a bonus! (It's all in the presentation, you know). The quality of the book is superb, the print is large enough, especially good for when the little one begins to read. There is nothing negative to write. I can't wait for the next occasion that warrants another personalized book. What a great way to start a child's very own personalized library. The book arrived in less than a week! Days actually. Great customer service as well with email correspondence for any wording that may need to be clarified. Great Job!

my 1st birthday
- Review by Denise Anslover I'm VERY happy with this book. Just arrived today . I expected it to take up tp 5 weeks for delivery but it came in 2 1/2 weeks. For my beautiful grandsons 1st .

Colton's very 1st birthday
- Review by Cheryl moriarty Love the book! I got for my grandsons 1st birthday! I'm sure he will love it for years to come! A very special book for a very special occasion!
- Review by NANA X 3 This is my 3rd order for this book. I previously ordered 2 others for my granddaughter's. We LOVE THEM! They are timeless and make the children feel very special, especially when they are able recognize their name printed in the book. I purchase the books with no number for the birthday, so they can use them every year. The only complaint I have is IF the child has a nickname, the software doesn't allow you to dedicate the book under the child's birth name, while referring to them by their nickname throughout the book. The work around is to put one first name (in parantheses)! The other books at I See ME are also wonderful!

Good Pick for Personalized Book
- Review by Becky I purchased this book for my godson who has a unique name. I wanted him to have a book just about him; this book met that goal.

My godson will be able to enjoy reading about his birthday party for years.

- Review by Becky Love it can't wait to give it as a 1st b-day gift
- Review by Sarah I purchased this book for the child I nanny for and I was very impressed with it. He seemed to like it and the artwork was great. If I could make two suggestions for improvement they would be to allow a picture of the child to be added (maybe on the back cover) and for the book to be a little bigger. It is kind if small for the price, but overall I was very happy with the product!

My Very Happy Birthday Book
Review by Bobbi Oschger
Geat....EXCEPT for one thing. When ordering, I couldn't find a place to indicate the PLACE for the party which was a playroom "Purple Monkey". So the book says the party was at his house, NOT at "Purple Monkey". I am unhappy about this.

Personalized Birthday Book
Review by Jeanne Halloin
A nice quality book with cute pictures and rhymes. I wish you had more than one birthday book, though, since I'd like to order another for a future birthday.
Also, it is much nicer to give a book than a CD with a story including the chid's & his sibling's names, as CDs tend to drive the parents crazy when played too often.
- Review by Vivian S. I absolutely love this book! I have read it three times. My grandsons birthday is not for another three weeks! Take a bow, you deserve it!
- Review by Deanna D. I ordered a book for a friend's little boy's 1st birthday. The book turned out wonderful...I can't wait to give it as a gift!

A treasure for years to come

Lifetime Memories
- Review by Debbie I love the book and can't wait until my nephew can really appreciate a story made for him.
Can't Wait for His Birthday
- Review by Christine Ok I know that the 1st birthday is mostly about the cake and the pictures of him eating it on his own but it is also a big milestone for him and me. Being my first baby I really wanted a gift to remember this book fits the bill. As he is still eating the edges of his books I'm so happy it is a board like book heavy material but not cheesy. The story gives a warm fuzzy that you are special. Well done
Inspires children to read more
- Review by Mom to Bed by 8 Review All four of my younger children are inspired to read more when they see their name in full color. The quality of the Birthday Boy book we received for E's 2nd birthday was the ideal hardcover, boardbook. Each page is brightly colored and gloss finished making it very eye appealing. Our children's library collection consists of nearly 300 books at our last count and they come back to the I See Me! collection again and again.
Beyond Impressed!
- Review by Lisa Reviews I am beyond impressed with the quality of the My Very Happy Birthday Book. Almost every page has incorporated "Will" not only in the words but in the illustrations too! We were able to put in a personalized message to him too! The book is a board book so it will last for a long time. The story is short and sweet also, so it will keep even the youngest ones' attention. I have seen many personalized books out there, and this is one of the best ones I've seen!
Highly Recommend!
- Review by Keeping Up with the Rheinlander's Review I just love these books! It is such a wonderful way to celebrate your child's birthday. My little one loves seeing her name and the names of her family members throughout the book! You just can't go wrong with this series!! I highly recommend these books to others and will buy them as gifts!!
Love the details
- Review by Mommy Kat and Kids Review What I love about I See Me Personalized Children's Books is that the company doesn't just insert a child's name into the story. The details about the child are incorporated into the pictures as well! My Very Happy Birthday featured invitations with Zackary's birthday date, a personalized banner as a party decoration and even six candles on the birthday cake! I loved this colorful board book and when I gave it to Zackary on his birthday, he loved it too! He counted the candles as soon as I got to the page with the birthday cake and then happily told me, "They knew how I old I was, Mom!"
- Review by Mummy's Product Reviews It's well worth the small amount of time to create a book that will later be a keepsake.
- Review by Pretty Opinionated Reveiw My Very Happy Birthday is great because it features details about your child's birthday throughout the entire book, not just on the first page.
Creative Gift
- Review by Mariah M. If you need a creative gift idea for a child in your life, I See Me Personalized Children's Books are great options.
Creative and Unique Gift
- Review by Wendy O. If your kids are anything like mine, then they LOVE anything that has their name in it. But the Very Happy Birthday book is even better. It is completely personalized with their birthday and what birthday they are celebrating and more! This is such a creative and unique gift for kids! I love giving books as gifts for birthdays and holidays!
Celebrate Your Child
- Review by Wendi B. Have you seen the look on a child's face when they realize that they are in a book? The feeling it gives you is great! Not only are you celebrating your child's birthday, you are celebrating THEM!
Love it!
- Review by Jeanette A. Much more fun then a toy that gets played with only to be forgotten. My son keeps this right by his bed and just loves it. The wording in it is great for younger kids that are just starting to read.

- Review by PRESTON JAMES HARVEY I LOVE PRESTON SO MUCH
Cherished for years to come.
- Review by Babble.com Review It's one of those birthday gifts you can give a kid that you know will be cherished for years on end thanks to its charming illustrations and story, and the fact that it's centered directly on the child.
A book to Cherish.
- Review by BabyElan Review The best gift you could give, the love of reading personalized especially for that special child. Something for our family to look back on as a memory that will last a lifetime for our sweet Connor. This is a book we'll cherish, just like the others from I See Me! we have!
- Review by TwoClassyChics Review The story is super sweet and flows very nicely from start to finish. I love the cute, colorful and whimsical illustrations in this book which were done by artist Mati McDonough. The book is extremely well-made from quality materials. When you hold this book you know it is something special and trust me-we love this book!
Children love them!
- Review by TotstoTeen Magazine Review Children love to open these delightfully illustrated books with their names and family members within the book. Children are truly able to go on a journey in a book.
Great gift!
- Review by Nap Time is My Time Review I See Me! has taken the personalizing to a new level with this book, if you specify which birthday the child is celebrating, it will be included on the cover and on five pages in the book. And, the cake will include the correct number of candles. This is a great gift and is certain to make your child feel special!
Kids love these books!
- Review by TwoSavvySisters Review Kids love to be included in stories and they also love to be read books. You can combine both of these in one package with a personalized book from I See Me Books.
Best Quality
- Review by Simple Mom Reviews I am so beyond thrilled with this book. Not only is it adorable, the story is fun and not complex for the little kiddos and it is crisp and clean print - unlike some of the other personalized books that you can get. The quality is just great with all the I See Me books I've seen.
Something Special
- Review by My Secret Home Review When "My Very Happy Birthday" came in, I held my breath while opening the package as I knew that something really special would be inside. A beautiful pink board book was revealed.
Special Treat to read a personalized story!
- Review by BlogCritics Review Like all children, he listens to stories about himself with rapt attention. When he hears his name, he smiles and buries his head in my shoulder. So, it has been a special treat to read him his personalized version of My Very Happy Birthday by Jennifer Dewing.
Celebrate your child!
- Review by Frugal Fabulous Finds Review As a parent and an early childhood educator, I know that one of the most important aspects of a child's life is literacy. Learning how to read, and growing up with a passion for reading is a skill that I have always believed should be taught from birth. I See Me! not only encourages a love of reading, but a way to celebrate your child and show them how special they are.

Oracle NoSQL Database, Java-based
By alexismp on Oct 25, 2011
As you may have already read elsewhere, Oracle launched a Oracle NoSQL Database product at its recent OpenWorld Conference. The product data sheet is probably a good place to start.
Another very good read is Daniel Abadi's detailed and quality write-up. Oracle's Charles Lamb also has blog pretty much dedicated to this new product.
The product is a transactional and distributed key-value database with focus on Scalability, High Availability and Easy Admin. It has an open source version (soon available, use the trial OTN-licensed version for now), is built in Java (like many other NOSQL products) and specifically on BerkleyDB, it offers a simple get/put/delete Java API and can be downloaded from this page.
The product documentation is here.

There are little parks and playgrounds tucked throughout Knoxville. Some of them are worth a little bit longer drive to reach, especially with bored kids who need something new and exciting to do for the summer—and Fort Kid is definitely one of those parks that's worth the trip. Just a short distance from the World's Fair park, Fort Kid isn't a convenient drive for everyone, but it might be worth taking a little trip off the beaten path to check it out.
An all-wooden playground designed to resemble a castle (or, perhaps, a fort), Fort Kid is fenced in; patrolled regularly by security, park employees, and police officers; and offers plenty of shade and benches for adult seating. Park rules state that adults are only allowed inside the fenced-in area if they are accompanied by a child. Better yet, during the week, it's fairly empty, so that you can easily keep an eye on your child the entire time they're there.
The toddler review: "I don't want to go home!"
The big kid review: "When can we come back?"
The mom review: This is a great park to take the kids to for a few hours. There are plenty of things for them to do: towers to climb up to; swinging bridges to walk across; rope ladders; plenty of bars to swing from and climb. It has a structure that's appealing for all of its posted age range (2-12), with activities that keep each kid involved on the same playground and within the same structure. It's very clean, well-kept, and kept the kids entertained the entire time they were there—including begging to keep playing after a quick picnic lunch.
The only downside is a lack of a bathroom—something that toddlers, in particular, won't appreciate. To find a bathroom, you have to take a long walk to one of the surrounding buildings; so make sure that your child visits the restroom before they go.

Will Twitter Join the 100% Gainers Club?
Twitter gained around 80% in its IPO launch.
Taking a step back fundamentally, the grocer market as a whole can really only grow at the rate of the population (a few % per year). This means in order to meet these growth rates, all these new entrants must eventually steal major market share from the majors such as Safeway (NYSE:SWY), Kroger (NYSE:KR), Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT), and a plethora of other public and private grocers.
Meanwhile, most of these majors have also started offering their own specialty food sections in an attempt to compete with all the new entrants.
Let's Go to the Tape
Having said all this, for most investors all that should matter is price, and right now price is in an uptrend so longs should stay long, at least for now.
A look at the chart below shows that the trend has certainly been a friend to the specialty grocers and in particular Whole Foods & the ETFs that hold some of these Specialty Grocers. But, caution should now reign supreme as recent price highs are being accompanied by something that hasn't occurred since the last major top in Whole Foods and the markets.
Whole Foods made a new high in 2004 around $24, but then after a pullback went on to make another new high at the end of 2005. However, that new price high was not accompanied by as much momentum, signaling the end of the trend and shown in the bottom portion of the chart.
A similar setup today exists in Whole Food's chart. In 2012 Whole Foods made a new all time high nearing $50, and then it pulled back into 2013. Since then it has also made a subsequent new high, but this time as well it is thus far accompanied by less momentum.
If price falls through the trendline that captures all of Whole Foods gains since the 2009 price low, it will be a sign that once again a new high accompanied by less interest is warning of a significant top in price.
The First Trust Consumer Staples ETF (NYSEARCA:FXG) holds companies such as Whole Foods & Sprouts in its portfolio. Whole Foods actually is its largest holding at 6.8% and is another way to play the Specialty Grocer sector.
FXG is also shown in the chart as it displays similar characteristics to Whole Foods. A breakdown in the high flying specialty grocer stocks, such as Whole Foods, would be a sign that FXG's run is also likely over.
Another ETF offering Specialty Grocers is PowerShares Dynamic Retail (NYSEARCA:PMR) which includes Sprouts and Fresh Market in its holdings.
On 9/24 we made a similar observation with financial stocks in our article, "Rough Road Ahead?" when financial stocks were similarly close to breaking down from their long term trend. Since then the Financials Select Sector SPDR (NYSEARCA:XLF) has underperformed the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) for the first time since the March market top as investors continue to shift out of financials for other sectors.
A similar breakdown in Whole Food's trend may signal a similar fate of its underperformance going forward.
Right now the specialty retail trend is up, but similar to what happened in 2006 as well as more recently to financial stocks, a break in trend would be a bad omen for the 100% club.Editor's note: This story by Chad Karnes originally appeared on ETFguide.com.

April 12, 2003
TUCSON - Jackie Coburn's grand slam punctuated a six-run fourth inning to break open a tight game and lead top-ranked Arizona to a 7-5 victory over No. 6 California before a college softball crowd of 2,471 Saturday night.
The Cats had to weather a three-run rally by California in the top of the seventh to hang on for the victory.
It took UA a while to get untracked. The Cats loaded the bases in the first but failed to score. Autumn Champion led off with an infield single, wasdorced at second by Courtney Fossatti and Lovie Jung and Mackenzie Vandergeest drew walks. But Cal pitcher Kristina Thorson struck out Jackie Coburn and Wendy Allen to end the threat.
The Bears (34-11 overall and 4-4 in the Pac-10) answered to fill the bases in the top of the second, but took advantage to take a 2-0 lead. Kaleo Eldridge tripled down the right-field line to lead off the frame, then an out later Jessica Pamanian and Chelsea Spencer drew walks. Kristen Morley singled off UA pitcher Alicia Hollowell's glove to push Eldredge and Pamanian across, then UA second baseman Lisha Ribellia turned a double play off a liner to end the rally.
UA (38-4, 7-1) scored an unearned run to cut it to 2-1 in the bottom of the inning. Crystal Farley doubled with two outs, then scored on a throwing error on Champion's bouncer to second.
The Golden Bears threatened again in the third, loading the bases on hits by Lindsay James, Veronica Nelson and Eldridge, but Hollowell got a pop up and a liner to end the inning.
Arizona sent eight batters to the plate in the fourth. Lisha Ribellia singled and later scored on another throwing error by shortstop Spencer to let Farley reach base. After singles by Champion and Fossatti, Farley scored when Vandergeest was hit by a pitch to force in a run, setting up Coburn's blast to right field. It was her 12th home run of the year and first grand slam of the season.
Arizona managed only six hits off Thorson (10-5). UA winner Hollowell, who lost to Stanford on Friday night, wasn't at her best, giving up a career-high 11 hits and striking out only five.
Hollowell gave up four hits and hit two batters in the seventh inning alone. Cal had a sacrifice fly by Courtney Scott and a two-run double by Eldridge to finish the scoring before Hollowell struck out Pamanian with the bases loaded to end the game.
Hollowell set a UA freshman record with her 25th victory of the year, against three losses.
The two teams complete the two-game series at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Simon, Edward
Simon, Edward, pianist; b. Punta CardUn, Venezuela, 27 July 1969. His mother is Daisy Morillo Garcia, born 7/30/1942, and his father is Hadsy Simon, a singer/guitarist, born 3/12/1935. His siblings are Marlon Simon, a drummer/percussionist, Michael Simon, a trumpetr, and Heidy Simon, a vocalist (not professional).
He grew up in the coastal town of CardUn, Venezuela, in a musical family. He came to the United States in 1984 to study classical music. By the time he was in his late teens, he was traveling the world as a sideman to prominent jazz and Latin musicians.
The musical seeds in the Simon Family were planted by his father, Hadsy Simon, who sang and played guitar. When Edward was eight years old, his father brought home some percussion instruments and an electric organ. Older brother Marlon was drawn to the timbales; Edward gravitated to the organ, while Michael, still a baby, beat on anything in his sight. Hadsy, who sang and played guitar, would invite his friends to their home on weekends so the family had an audience to perform for. Initially, Simon s taste was limited to electronic instruments and Latin American dance music. His appreciation for jazz did not develop until he heard a concert on videotape of Chick Corea with Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Getz performing at the White House. Simon exhibited such talent in a family band that his father decided to send him to school in the United States, where he later won music scholarships. He was a student of concert pianist Susan Starr and Benjamin Witten at the Uni versity of the Arts in Philadelphia where he did his undergraduate studies in Jazz and Classical Performance. Later, he attended the Manhattan School of Music, where he studied jazz piano with Harold Danko. He began discovering the music of the jazz giants and was influenced greatly by Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell and Miles Davis.
While he explored classical piano, he was gigging regularly. In 1988, Simon arrived on the jazz scene performing in a trio led by bassist Charles Fambrough. An established musician in Philadelphia by age 18, Simon soon began to meet New York jazz musicians, such as saxophonist Greg Osby (1988-1990), Bobby Wason and guitarist Kevin Eubanks. He toured with Watson s Horizon band for five years (1989-1994) while juggling dates with established Latin jazz players, Jerry Gonzales, Herbie Mann, Manny Oquendo, Libre and Paquito D'Rivera (1992-1994). From 1990-1992, he toured and recorded with Charlie Sepulveda. He has also performed with Bobby Hutcherson, Milt Jackson, Mongo Santamaria, Oscar DiLeon, Paquito DiRivera & The Havana/New York Ensemble), The United Nation Orchestra, Frank Sinatra, Gerry Gonzalez (& Fort Apache), Michael Brecker, WDR Jazz Orchestra, Ivan Linns, Don Byron, Cassandra Wilson, Dave Holland, and Branford Marsalis In 1994, prolific composer and bandleader Terence Blanchard hired Simon to fill his piano chair. It was Simon's Latin background and passion for world music that his new leader most admired in him. Simon has recently toured with John Patitucci and Paquito D'Rivera. Since 2002, he's done private piano studies with Sophia Rososf and Fred Hersh. From 1986-2001, he was an Adjunct Faculty member at the University of the Arts. He was the Latin Jazz Ensemble Coach and member of piano faculty. He prepared repertoire, composed and arranged music for end of semester recitals. He also taught and prepared piano students for curriculum requirements. In February 1999, he taught a seminar in Seville, Spain. He conducted classes in piano and rhythm section playing and also led student ensembles. In April 1999, at Temple University, he conducted a lecture/demonstration on jazz and Latin jazz piano and on the function of the piano within jazz and Latin idioms. Since 1999, he's taught Master classes throughout the U.S. including universities and high schools in NY, CT, MA, IL, FL, CA, MO, and other states.
His spouse is Maria Simon (b. 4/6/67) and his son is Goren Simon (b. 12/21/99).

It was noted that the Board of the SHB had also written to the Minister requesting funding for the new centre in Cork. The SHB suggested that NAT testing might be temporarily located on the site of St. Finbarrs Hospital as an interim measure, before being permanently placed in the new centre at CUH. It was agreed that the Board of the IBTS would consider any information provided by the SHB, regarding the provision of a NAT Laboratory in Cork, in deciding whether NAT should be carried out on the present site.
DOH&C Correspondence re Recommendations of the International Expert Group The Department of Health & Children acknowledged receipt of the Report by the IBTS Board on the Recommendations of the International Expert Group.
5. EU DirectiveThe NMD briefed the Board on his summary of the EU Directive on blood transfusion. Dr. Murphy noted that the IBTS in future may not make significant changes to its operations without prior approval from the competent Licencing Authority, the IMB.
The transportation of blood in future must be carried out by an approved agency. The IBTS at present transports blood by various means including bus, train and taxi.
The EU Directive is designed to provide uniformity in the blood transfusion services within the EU. The Commission will define the quality system that will operate in transfusion services, taking into account GMP and ISO. Governments must introduce national legislation to give effect to the terms of the Directive by 15th February 2005.
Technical notes attaching to the Directive may have future implications for the IBTS. It was noted that the Directive does not include blood banks in hospitals in the definition of blood establishments. The A/CEO will be setting up a meeting with the DOH&C and the IMB to examine the full implications of the Directive for the blood transfusion service in Ireland. It was agreed that a paper would be brought to the Board after this meeting to outline the implications of the Directive and to clarify such issues as the respective responsibilities of the IBTS and its suppliers and customers.
It was agreed that the Board should be updated on a regular basis on the matter.

The Board acknowledged the work of Mr. John Keating, Mr. Andy Kelly and the staff of the Cork Centre in bringing the Brief together for presentation to the Board. The Board unanimously approved the recommendation that the Munster Regional Transfusion Centre be located on the Campus of Cork University Hospital. The Board also noted that the sites at St. Finbarrs Hospital and St. Marys Orthopaedic Hospital were also available, if insurmountable problems were encountered with the site at CUH.

9. Donor Study UpdateIt was noted that the Minister for Health and Children would be proposing Committees of Investigations legislation to the Oireachtas, in the Summer of 2003. Draft Heads of Bill were distributed to the Board. Under the proposed legislation it was noted that the donor study could be chaired by, or have the involvement of, Senior Counsel. A Committee of Investigation may be considered by the Minister and the Department of Health and Children to be a more appropriate mechanism to deal with the donor notification issue, rather than a Tribunal of Inquiry. The Board has already offered the view that a Judicial Committee would be independent and efficient.
The Board was provided with an executive summary of Dr. Emer Lawlors Report on Hepatitis C positive women exposed to Anti D outside the years 1977/79 and 1991/94.

Discussions have already taken place in the Cork centre with the Heads of Department.
2. IBTS Medical Department The facilitation process with regard to the medical consultants is ongoing. It was felt important that a mechanism for obtaining objective feedback, which is not personalised, is obtained from the consultant medical staff and members of the MAC. It was suggested that Dr. Mary Horgan would discuss with the facilitator how this should be done.
3. Structures It was suggested that management structures in operation in the UK and other European blood services should be examined in the context of formulating proposals to change the structure in the IBTS. It was agreed that a sub-committee of the Board should be formed to undertake this work.
11. Minutes of MAC Meeting 08.01.2003 A recent study of donors found that 11% had visited the U.S.A. It was agreed that the proposed 6 week WNV deferral for donors who have recently visited the U.S.A. should be postponed.

Last Tuesday, designer Josie Natori hosted a cocktail party at her pop-up store in Nolita to celebrate the launch of her new fragrance JOSIE. She partnered with the prestige beauty company LUXE Brands to design a fragrance for the vibrant, modern, confident, youthful, and sexy woman. The fragrance is composed of the following elements: Asian Pear, Bergamot, Sampaguita, Freesia, Wild Orchid, Sandalwood, White Musk, and Patchouli. JOSIE is subtly floral with a sexy, bold, and feminine edge. The packaging is beautiful, innovative, and quite artistic with modern black and white columns and a see-through dip tube in JOSIE's signature red. It's "beautifully mismatched to achieve a statement of perfect imperfection." The fragrance and its packaging align very nicely with Josie Natori's current apparel collection both in color and style.
At the event, guests enjoyed testing the JOSIE fragrance and viewing the packaging, as they were served Prosecco and small bites such as goat cheese toasts and lettuce wraps filled with chicken. Josie Natori was a great host, greeting and thanking guests for coming as well as posing for photos and expressing her excitement for the new fragrance. JOSIE certainly is a beautiful, sensual, energetic, enrapturing, and bold fragrance. It's available in a variety of products that include 2 different Eau de Parfum sizes, an Eau de Parfum Rollerball, a Body Cream, and a Body Lotion. JOSIE is currently carried at select prestige department stores. Be sure to check it out!
