Category: word names for babies
By Abby Sandel, Appellation Mountain
Every once in a while, two sets of high profile parents use the same name within weeks of each other. Remember the Camden coincidence from 2011?
Usually it signals a name already on the rise. That was certainly the case with Camden, a name that cracked the US Top 100 in 2013.
Could Saint be next?
Out-of-the-box word baby names are highlighted in the Nameberry 9 this week, unearthed as always, by Abby Sandel of Appellation Mountain.
It's been another big week for noun names. They were all over Hollywood gossip blogs, and appeared in plenty of workaday birth announcements, too.
There's no doubt that this is a rich category. Flower names make us consider trees – meet my daughter, Lily, and my son, Cedar. Weather and birds feel like inexhaustible sources of inspiration. There are the old school, Puritan-era virtue names, but also more recent innovations, rich with meaning.
Sometimes the influence is more subtle. Surname Brooks is preppier than River, but both bring to mind the great outdoors. Clementine and Olive have been used for so long we consider them names, but they're both on the upswing today, lifted by the trend.
May, June, and August are mainstream, but I'm not so sure about January, and it is always surprising to hear September, October, or November. April is definitely a noun name, but Avril is cooler. And if Avril is an option, how about Janvier?
Guest blogger ERIN FREEMAN finds baby-naming inspiration on the used car lot.
Two weeks ago I had my first experience shopping for a car. While in high school, I had been given a 1992 Dodge Dynasty by an uncle, and after I graduated and was pregnant with my oldest son, my grandparents gave me their 1995 Ford Taurus. My Taurus finally gave out on me two weeks ago, so my father, my husband and I set out to find me a car.
While walking around the used car lot, it struck me just how unique some of the names of these cars were. Some were unique in a way that just seemed far-fetched. Some were unique in a way that could be considered daring, but at the same time up-and-coming or trendy. And then there were some that years ago would have been a stretch, but now seem commonplace. Much like baby names.
Naturally, being the name enthusiast I am, this led to me researching car names as soon as I got home with my newly-purchased 2008 Dodge Caliber. What I didn't expect was how many options there were beyond the standard car brands like Ford, Lincoln, Mercedes, Porsche and Romeo, all names we've heard before. Branching out into the models issued by individual car brands, I found so many options, and many trends I did not expect.
Here, for instance, are car names that were used for babies first:


text: I am looking for a short story. The story's main character ran a repair depot for spaceships in the neighborhood of earth. He was trying to expand into repairing those of the more-advanced alien species who visited earth. The problem - and maybe the title - was "the tools to make the tools". He finally gets the tech he needs by mind-scanning a visiting alien diplomat, who also turns out to be the inventor of the required technology. His success lets earth get "promoted" to a more senior membership in the alliance, or federation or whatever. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

BA: ASL-English Interpretation - Summer Session
ONLINE: June 8-22, 2016
ONSITE: June 27-July 22, 2016
- The summer semesters are hosted at the University of Northern Colorado home campus in Greeley. This is toward the northeast corner of the state, about an hour away from Denver (http://www.unco.edu/uncmap/).
- There are three designed summer sessions of course work in the program. The summers you will attend are dependent on; the number of credit hours that are transferred, your ASL competencies, and where you are placed within the program sequence. The fourth summer is typically the summer you will be doing your internship work.
- The courses offered during the summer sessions focus on the intense language and interpreting coursework and are a required part of the bachelor's program. These classes begin online then continue onsite. They are prerequisites for the fall semesters as the distance labs are built upon the face-to-face summer work.
- You will take 6-7 credits each summer. These are intense sessions that are scheduled from about 8 AM to 5 PM weekdays. There is required daily homework and major assignments that typically take some portion of the weekends.
2016 information is publishedlate March or early April...in the meantime, see below for previous year's info if interested:

Corporate Advocacy Program™
REGARDING: Johnathan Bernard - Dodge Moving & Storage Claim
On August 11, 2011 we did a Military Move from Portland, Oregon to San Diego, CA. Dodge Moving & Storage packed our items, and transported them to the Mayflower truck at their downtown Portland location. During the packing process, our expensive pillowtop mattress was severely damaged. When the Mayflower Lead/Driver and movers arrived here in San Diego with our items, the Lead/Driver informed us there was a major problem with the pillowtop mattress. He showed us how the queen sized pillowtop mattress had been packed into a queen-sized REGULAR mattress box, which caused the mattress to be horribly bowed/rippled completely across the widthand length. Due to the condition of the mattress we can no longer use it!
We contacted Bethany Knupp, Tier 1 Defense Personal Property System (DPS)SDDC Systems Response Center (1-800-462-2176, Option 5) regarding the process for filing a claim. She told us we had 6 months in which to file a claim. However, due to cancer issues in our immediate family, we filed our claim on December 23, 2011. We were in contact with Ms. Knupp on several occasions asking for information, etc. Her first update on the status of our claim was [via email] on February 21, 2012 and read, "Your claim is currently Under Review by the moving company. They have 60 days from the submit date (12/25) to make a final offer.
On March 28, 2012 I wrote, "Good Morning, Ms. Bethany, I'm referencing Johnathan Bernard's filing date for a damage claim . . . we are past the 60-day response period for the company. Please advise us how to proceed at this point." Ms. Knupp responded, "You can either contact the moving company directly to find out what the hold-up is in processing your claim or you can login to DPS and transfer the claim to the military claims office (MCO)." Since we had already been the MCO route we chose to contact the moving company. I called the Corporate Office for Dodge Moving & Storage and eventually I spoke with Tony (636-349-3622), Peggy Hart, Manager (636-349-3910 x3910) and Yvonne (636-305-6918) several times each; I mostly left messages. When they did answer their phones, they ALL kept giving me the runaround telling me to "call this one, call that one", and so on.
We filed a claim with the USMC Claims System, which they forwarded to Dodge Moving & Storage. Dodge, forwarded the claim to Ms. Jana Armstrong their Claims Specialist in Magnolia, Texas. After the timeline for filing for and/or responding to the claim had expired, the USMC received an email notification that our claim had been "closed", not that it had been approved or denied, just closed. We called and called Ms. Armstrong at Trilogy Claims Services, Inc. but received no response. I finally left her a voicemail stating that we were going to take Dodge Moving & Storage to Small Claims Court. Ms. Armstrong then asked me to send her proof of the drivers findings in the way of a statement, which I did.
On September 11, 2012, I received an email from Ms. Armstrong stating the following: "Ms. Bernard - We have again reviewed your file and the additional information provided. Unfortunately, we are unable to revise the settlement. We apologize for the inconvenience; however, we must maintain the settlement as outlined in the letter dated April 3, 2012." We never received such a [settlement] letter from these people! The only letter we received from Ms. Armstrong, was dated April 3, 2012 stating, "...there was no mention in the DOD Notice Of Loss paperwork on delivery that there was any damage to any items." THIS IS NOT TRUE! The day after delivery, I spoke to Rose in the Mayflower office here in San Diego (636-305-6207), she confirmed the Mayflower Lead/Driver (Carlos Godina) had written a brief notation in his report regarding the damage to our mattress. Mr. Godina wrote a [separate] statement upon my request, which I sent to Ms. Armstrong at Trilogy Claims Services, Inc. on July 13, 2012 per her request. Ms. Armstrong promised to review the claim further.
Dodge Moving & Storage employees severely damaged our expensive mattress. We just want to be made "whole" as of the date the item was damaged, nothing more, nothing less. Ms. Armstrong requested proof of our damage claim - a document from the Mayflower Lead/Driver, which we submitted to her, yet our claim was still denied, saying we filed our claim past their filing timeline.

Ms. Bernard We have again reviewed your file and the additional information provided. Unfortunately, we are unable to revise the settlement. For any additional review you should contact your local USMC Claims Office. We apologize for the inconvenience; however, we must maintain the settlement as outlined in the letter dated April 3, 2012.

IN CHECKING ONLINE RESOURCES, THERE ARE MANY DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS ACROSS THE U.S. THE SAME AND/OR SIMILAR AGAINST DODGE MOVING & STORAGE. In a way it felt good to see that I was NOT the only one who has dealt with this shady company. We had an expensive ($300) audio speaker and my box with my lingirie and inexpensive (but nice) jewelry come up missing in this move, but we didn't have proof of it, so we decided NOT to file a claim. However, we must be made whole for the damage these folks caused to our mattress - WE'VE GOT PROOF ON THAT!!!
We truly hope you can assist us. We'll be grateful for anything you can do.
Respectfully, Deborah & Johnathan Bernard

They have your bank account info and there is nothing you or the bank can do to protect you from them making unauthorized charges. You have no recourse to collect back from GSI if they do charge at this point except to challenge your bank (and they truthfully aren't the guilty party).
Good luck!!

Lafourche teen is hunter of the year
Published: Monday, August 13, 2012 at 11:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 13, 2012 at 11:07 a.m.
After her very first hunt landed her a 210-pound, eight-point buck, Golden Meadow teen Emily Williams was honored by the state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries as the Female Youth Hunter of the Year for 2011.
The program, which encourages kids to send in their stories and photos of hunting, aims to encourage Louisiana's youngest residents to keep the state hunting tradition alive.
Emily, 13, received her award Saturday at a banquet in Chalmette.
Emily is the daughter of Catina and Joseph Williams.
Emily was joined by her dad during a youth deer hunt on the Lake Ophelia National Wildlife Refuge in Marksville. She was excited to watch her first sunrise from a deer stand on a cold morning in Avoyelles Parish.
"I was nervous," she said. "All around me and behind me were woods and acres of plain, flat land."
The youth were divided up to hunt different sections of the wildlife refuge. Williams said the first critter she came upon was a hog.
"But it was way too fast. I couldn't get it," she said.
Then, off in the distance, she spotted two bucks. And to her left, a doe and several smaller bucks.
As she waited, one of the bigger bucks began coming closer.
"One laid down and started eating. It was about 100 yards away broadside, and my dad whispered that if I was going to shoot it, I should do it," Emily said.
She shot the deer in the neck. She said her dad gave her a big hug for taking down her first buck.
"I was so excited I wanted to scream, but I didn't because I was afraid it would scare the other wildlife away," Emily said.
She said her dad only started hunting three years ago, and "he hasn't killed a deer as big as me."
She hopes to go hunting again.
"It's a lot of fun, and it was a great experience," she said.
The Youth Hunter Program began as a registry program, encouraging kids to share their hunting photos and stories, said David Moreland, representative of the Louisiana Outdoors Writers Association. But after learning that other states recognized kids for their hunting, the group decided to develop the Youth Hunter of the Year Program to recognize boys and girls for their hunting. The youth hunter program is run jointly by the Wildlife and Fisheries and the Louisiana Outdoors Writers Association.
This is the program's fifth year. Young people submit stories and photos about their hunting experiences to win.
Seven-year-old Joseph Scooter Hayes of Mansura was the 2011 Male Youth Hunter of the year. He won after participating in the youth squirrel hunt on Spring Bayou Wildlife Management Area.
Runners up were Chloe Slayter, 10, of Pineville, and Scott Duplechain, 11, of Thibodaux.
"It's about getting out and sharing the sport of hunting with family members," Moreland said.

It seems that the modus operandi of the Sams Club is to sell substandard products at inflated prices and when they break, send their victim on a wild goose chase. I find that repulsive.

QUOTE:" Sam's club just sells the goods, they don't guaruntee them. That's why you get warranties on your products. What Sam's club has done is no different than any other retailer".
Most 'retailers' DO make exchanges on defective merchandise. (I'm a bit puzzled at the 'guaruntee' to which you allude. I'll take that to mean ' guarantee') When someone buys a product from a retailer, they ARE NOT dealing with the manufacturer. The correct order of return or exchange would be retail buyer / retail seller / manufacturer in that order. There are, of course, exceptions to this order, but usually that would be the norm.
Part of the usual 25% to 40% or more mark-up pocketed by the retailer would entitle the buyer to deal with any shortcomings with the retailer. Thats part of the cost of doing retail sales. Deal with the manufacturer? 90% or better of all retail merchandise sold in the
Deal with the "manufacturer"? Thats humorous!
Sams club reminds me of Big Lots. Any item seen during any visit there should be purchased at that time if wanted / required. Next visit? Probably no longer available. Many of their non-grocery items seem to be purchased at the whim of one of their buyers because its a deal: meaning a deal for Sams Club and ultimately priced very often at what a similar (often more current) item may be purchased elsewhere. Elsewhere without a membership cost, I might add.
I guess its clear Im not a fan of Sams Club. I must admit, however, in deference to your experience, I have returned items to Sams Club within
a reasonable time frame. I no longer ante up for their membership fee, however. Somehow it seems nonsensical to PAY to shop somewhere.
P.S.: I dont see where Ashley embarrassed herself.

Once in a while, a game grabs my attention due to some amazing positional concept or, less often (I say "less often" since most tactics are rather repetitive), due to a really interesting tactical battle. Usually you'll see these types of games played by grandmasters, but now and then, non-GMs light up the board.

I'm really proud of myself so far but can't quite figure out what is going wrong with this. I set up WordPress OK, on 1&1.co.uk. I then setup up the post via-email which works fine from Outlook, and I even managed to get cron jobs working!
However, when i post to my blog from my BlackBerry 8310, the subject comes through OK but the post itself comes through as gibberish.
I'm using BIBS on Vodafone UK.
Have a look:
All help greatfully received!

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class FacebookApiException in /home/content/82/8545382/html/sanjeevco/wp-content/plugins/facebook-registration-tool/libs/facebook.php on line 91
Can you help me with solution? Will completely removing "Facebook-registration-too" folder from plugin folder from FTP will help flaring up the website?
Or there is other way available too?

The answer to the above question is "a lot." We can learn how to solve problems better. How to look at the world around us with a fresh eye. How to think more creatively, and ultimately, how to open up new possibilities in our lives.
These are the things that great designers do every day. But the premise in my new book Glimmer is: "You don't have to be a designer to think like one." There's a whole way of thinking used by designers, and a step-by-step process they follow, that really can be embraced by anyone—whether you're in business, out there trying to contribute to the world in some way, or if you're just looking to improve your own life.
What I found, in studying some of the world's most innovative designers, is that—in addition to being immensely talented and bright people, of course—they tend to have two big things they rely on. First, they have a certain mindset that enables them to be fearless and optimistic and open to all kinds of new possibilities. And second, they have a framework they use—a proven methodology that helps them to bring their ideas and plans to life, to get things done, and to be successful. I sort of dejargonize this methodology and give lots of examples of how it works in Glimmer.
One of the things designers are known for doing is questioning everything. In fact there's a joke that asks, "How many designers does it take to change a lightbulb?" To which the answer is: "Does it have to be a lightbulb?"
It's a joke, but it's not: Designers all the time really do ask basic things like Does it have to be a lightbulb? The design process often begins with questioning the conventional wisdom about how we currently do things.
Of course, it's one thing to question the world around you-but it's much harder to begin to change it. As I write in Glimmer, if you just question everything without trying to improve it, you may end up being more of a whiner than a designer. Designers actually must take action in order to create new possibilities—that's their job. And so it's not surprising they've developed proven methods to help them do that.
I examine those methods in detail in the book, but they involve, for example:
- Teaching oneself to be open to new ideas by "thinking laterally" (which is really about tricking your brain into moving in unexpected directions, instead of the usual straightforward ones).
- Developing a better antenna for figuring out what's missing & what's really needed in the world around you—that's how designers find great opportunities.
- Learning how to bring ideas to life, and make them real. All of us have ideas in our heads, but designers make their ideas real and tangible-by sketching, by modeling, by scotch-taping things together. It's what designers call prototyping, and it's the way you take a dream and gradually build it into a reality. And this is a technique anyone can use.
- Another important thing designers do is, they "fail forward." Most of us are afraid to fail, but designers fail every day. What they understand is that every failure—if you know how to react to it and use it—can be a critical step that brings you closer to the end goal.
These are just a few of the basic tools and principles designers use. And what really surprised me, as I worked on the book, was to see just how accessible these tools are to anyone. And how applicable they are to just about any situation.
In today's world, with all the challenges and problems we have to grapple with—both in our daily lives and in the world at large—we can benefit from having that designer mindset and methodology. Because the truth is, we all need to become better at facing up to tough challenges and finding new solutions.

Keiichi Hara (1959) worked extensively on popular family and children animated shows, such as Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan. His 2002 Shin-chan movie, Crayon Shin-chan: Brilliant! The Great Battle of the Warring States (2002) was recommended by Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs.

Scotland Loves Anime in partnership with Anime Limited are proud to announce his attendance at the UK Premiere of the Annecy and Fantasia award-winning film, Miss Hokusai, at the Glasgow Film Theatre.
Set in 1814 Edo (now known as Tokyo), a much accomplished artist of the time works tirelessly in his house-atelier. He is as short-tempered and sarcastic as he is brilliant, with no passion for money or meaningless pastimes like drinking. His name is Katsushika Hokusai and decades later his work would come to mesmerise Degas, Van Gogh, Monet, Klimt and Debussy.
But very few were aware of the woman who often painted for him while remaining uncredited. This is the untold story of O-Ei, Master Hokusai's daughter, a free-spirited woman overshadowed by her larger-than-life father. She inherited both his stubbornness and his talent, and her art is so powerful that it leads her to trouble…
Scotland Loves Anime is also pleased to welcome the director, Mr. Keiichi Hara, for the UK Premiere of the film where he will present the film then stay for a Q&A afterwards.
In 19th Century London, "corpse reanimation technology" has been developed, rendering the dead useful for basic physical labor.
Brilliant medical student John Watson is invited to join the UK government's secret society, the Walsingham Institution. There he is given a clandestine mission: search for the legendary writings of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, left behind a century ago. These private papers allegedly detail the technology behind a more sophisticated reanimated corpse – the original – that could speak and even had free will.
The first clue leads Watson deep into Afghanistan. Alexei Karamazov, a millitary chaplain and genius corpse engineer for the Russian Empire, was seen leading an army of an unknown type of armed corpse there. He used them to instigate a rebellion before going underground, leading Watson to suspect he may know the whereabouts of Victor's private papers.
Accompanied by Friday, a corpse that records all his activities, Watson begins the journey of a lifetime in search of Victor's private papers.

Mayweather Goes To War, Defeats Cotto in Twelve
By Rick Reeno
MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26KOs) became the WBA's junior middleweight champion with a twelve round unanimous decision over Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30KOs) in a fantastic fight. The scores were 118-110, 117-111, 117-111. They went to war, they traded punches, they traded blood - but Mayweather's accurate punches gave him the edge in several close rounds.
The first round was tactical and was more of a feeling out process. The fireworks exploded in the second round. Mayweather had no concerns with allowing Cotto to back him up into the ropes and then countering with hard hooks to the side of Cotto's head. They stood and traded punches, with Mayweather landing the more telling blows. They continued to trade punches in the third round, with Mayweather once again finding the target a lot quicker.
In the fourth, Mayweather was playing target practice by sharpshooting punches to Cotto's head. In the final twenty second, the Puerto Rican champion pressed forward with combinations to the body and the head. Cotto was pressing forward in the fifth round and making it a real fight. Mayweather was outlanding him, but Cotto continued to come forward to trade punches. Whenever Cotto landed well to the body, Mayweather would find his head.
Floyd's nose was bleeding in the sixth and he was certainly taking punches. For the first time in years, Mayweather was actually in a fight. Cotto was pressing forward and timing Mayweather well. In the seventh round, Mayweather slowed the pace and whenever the pace slowed down - it was Mayweather who was easily outboxing Cotto.
Cotto went to work in the eight and he was pressing forward, landing hard shots to the body and actually started to land a few upstairs. The shots to the body were ripping Mayweather and the entire crowd was in a frenzy.
The ninth round was a mixed bag of tricks. Cotto started well, but it was Mayweather who finished strong with a few combinations that may have stolen the round.
The tenth was a near duplication of the tenth, with Cotto closing strong with a solid combination of punches, including a good uppercut, that sent Mayweather's head back.
The battle continued in the eleventh. Cotto was making this ohe a real fight, with Mayweather landing calculated shots when the opening were there.
In the twelfth, Mayweather dominated with combinations to the head and body. He had Cotto in trouble for the first time in the fight, as the knees were buckling from Mayweather's three and four punch combinations.
[quote=iniduoh;12092881]That was a very intertaining fight. Now, having said that, alot of the post here are missing some key points about what went on in the fight. First of all the notion that Floyd's age has caught up with him…Comment by iniduoh on 05-07-2012
