Developing novel drugs
for inflammatory and immune diseases
CalciMedica is focused on the discovery and development of novel drugs for the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory and immune disorders, and organ transplant rejection. These disorders affect millions of people worldwide. Inflammation is a common yet complex reaction of the body to harmful stimuli, characterized by the involvement of different cellular and vascular components that work together to resolve the insult. Inflammatory disorders, which typically involve dysfunction of the immune system, underlie many different diseases, ranging from asthma to Alzheimer's disease and include autoimmune disease. More than 80 autoimmune diseases are known, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, lupus, Crohn's disease and type I diabetes; they result from the attack on and destruction of different organs by the patient's own immune system.
The Company's strategy is based on the specific inhibition of the calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel, a key component of the Icrac pathway in immune cells. In most other cell types, CRAC channels are involved in maintaining general calcium homeostasis, and in soem situations dysfunction of this process can lead to disease. In immune cells, however, the Icrac pathway is essential for the adaptive immune response, and has been validated as a drug target in immune disease in humans. CRAC channels have also been found to play a key role in other inflammatory diseases, such as acute pancreatitis, which the Company is currently pursuing.
CalciMedica has acquired exclusive rights to Orai1, the CRAC channel subunit residing in the plasma membrane, and STIM 1, the calcium sensor and Orai1 activator located in the endoplasmic reticulum, which together function as gatekeepers of the Icrac pathway and mediators of the transit of extracellular calcium into cells for all drug discovery applications. With this technology, the Company has developed a number of potent, specific CRAC channel inhibitors as drug molecules.
CalciMedica's therapeutic approach to acute pancreatitis, based on CRAC channel inhibition, targets this disease in two ways.
CalciMedica Initiates Phase 1 Clinical Studies for CRAC Channel Inhibitor - Privately-held CalciMedica, Inc., announced that it started Phase 1 safety studies in healthy volunteers of a novel calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel inhibitor, CM4620, intended to treat acute pancreatitis.
San Francisco VA, UCSF and CalciMedica, Inc. Present Results on CRAC Channel Inhibitors in Traumatic Brain Injury Model at Neuroscience Meeting - Researchers from the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and UCSF, and CalciMedica, Inc., are presenting a poster at the 46th annual Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego describing the use of calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel inhibitors in traumatic brain injury (TBI).

January 14, 2017
Second open letter to our Membership, Shire City Herbals and the Free Fire Cider campaign:
As of this time, we will be discontinuing the sale of the Fire Cider® made by Shire City Herbals because of the legal action they have taken against community herbalists for using a traditional remedy and term. This decision is not made lightly.
In our last public statement regarding this issue, back in June of 2015, we did our best to remain neutral, urging Shire City Herbals and all parties involved to find a peaceful and equitable resolution to the conflicts over the trademark issue. A year and a half later, we do not consider Shire City Herbals' actions to be working in that direction.
We had hoped that by stocking multiple fire cider options and encouraging public discourse we could support everyone. We no longer wish to remain neutral on this issue, and in good conscience now choose to remove Shire City Herbals' product from our store.
We appreciate the work Shire City Herbals has done to bring popular attention to this traditional remedy. It is unusual for us to have a local supplier with such a successful and effective product in our Wellness Department, and we were excited and proud to promote them in the past. (see the article in our Winter 2014 member newsletter http://rivervalleymarket.coop/newsletter/newsletter-archives )
The fact remains that the term "fire cider" was not created by Shire City Herbals and had been in use by herbalists all over the country long before they started making their product. Shire City Herbals did not invent this formula. Decades ago, the basic recipe was published with that name, in a book by Rosemary Gladstar.
Shire City Herbals initially stated that they trademarked the term solely to protect themselves from a larger entity stealing their success and trademarking it for themselves. They do not support the campaign to officially and legally make "fire cider" a generic term, available to all, stating that this is not possible. Instead, Shire City Herbals has brought legal action against three herbalists: Katheryn Langelier, Mary Blue and Nicole Telkes, and has sent intimidating letters to many other small herbal producers using the name "fire cider" to sell their own versions of the folk remedy. This legal action was in part a response to a petition filed with the USPTO by Mary Blue, made as an attempt to revoke the Fire Cider® trademark.
We know that many others share our dismay over this issue, thanks to feedback we have received over the last few years from co-op owners, customers and the herbal community at large. Thank you for your concern and engagement regarding this issue. We will continue to stock other brands of this remedy and will do our best to help you find one that you like.

Cars – Sedans – 2011 Ratings
Posted by Canstar Blue August 25th 2011
You are viewing the archived 2011 awards for sedans. Go to the current sedan awards.
* Overall satisfaction is an individual rating and not a combined total of all ratings. Brands with equal overall satisfaction ratings are listed in alphabetical order.
Hyundai sedans awarded five stars for most satisfied customers
Hyundai has a philosophy: 'New thinking, new possibilities'.
Apparently this mantra is working, with the Korean car manufacturer taking out two of our motoring awards this year.
Hyundai have won our most satisfied customers for sedans award – achieving victory in the sedan category amongst some of the biggest names in motoring.
Other brands rated were Mazda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Holden, Honda and Ford.
Hyundai has also won our value for money award for cars for 2011.
Our survey also shows an alarming statistic – more than one in five drivers put off important car maintenance in an effort to save money.
And younger Aussies are the worst offenders.
The contrast between Generation Y drivers and Baby Boomer drivers is startling:
- Thirty eight percent of Gen Y drivers let their car go past the 'service-by' date, compared to only 12% of Baby Boomers
- Sixteen percent of Gen Y drivers are driving their cars unregistered compared to only 2% of Baby Boomers
- Thirty percent of Gen Y drivers would rather invest in a sound system for their car rather than safety features, compared to 4% of Baby Boomer drivers
The fine for driving an unregistered vehicle can amount to hundreds of dollars in fines and can void car insurance if the vehicle is not properly registered.
Canstar Blue commissioned Colmar Brunton to survey 7,500 Australian consumers over a number of months to measure their satisfaction across a range of products and services. The outcomes reported are the results from car purchasers within the survey group. To qualify, the customer has to have bought a new car from a dealership in the last three years.
Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands that received three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10.
Hyundai received five stars for overall customer satisfaction for sedans. Mazda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Holden and Honda all scored admirably with four stars each, and Ford received three stars.
Value for money
Hyundai once again trumped their competition with five stars for value for money for sedans, while Mazda, Mitsubishi, Toyota and Holden received four stars. Both Honda and Ford received three stars for their brand's value for money.
After sale service
A car can quickly lose its value if it is not maintained, and the quality of the servicing can make all the difference on the road. Both Hyundai and Mazda excelled in this category with a five star rating for after sale service. Japanese manufacturers Mitsubishi and Toyota both received four stars for service, while Holden, Honda and Ford received three stars.
Reliability and performance
A reliable car is easy to maintain and can be counted on for performance. Mazda customers are most satisfied with their vehicle's reliability and performance, with the manufacturer receiving five stars. Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Holden and Honda received four stars, while Ford received three.

Biggest waste of money ever. Lovely color and applies well, but the mechanism of the pen broke after 2 weeks and the pigment core literally crumbled into many pieces. Whole product gone after only 4 weeks, maybe 10 uses. I never done this, but for 29 Euro I expect much better product, so I contacted Dior to complain, as there are no returns in Europe, but so far I only received useless computer generated answer. I used to like and buy a lots of Dior products, as I am allergic to some brands, but this was my last purchase.

This baby retails at SGD37.00. Like how the other reviewers described, it comes in a nice retractable blue packaging with a slanted tip.
I have this in grey which is somewhat like black but not as intense.
The good:
This liner goes on easy and glides like a dream
It does NOT smudge or give me raccoon eyes and I do have oily lids
Lasts all day without transferring
The bad:
the slanted tip makes it difficult to get to the insides of the eye.
I love this but would have preferred for it to be pointed instead of slanted.

I have the new version in pro blue, retractable pencil in the slanted shape. It's a lil too thick to get a perfect sharp line but that's not the look I go for anyway. It leaves a soft but defined line & not too dark for me, you can tell it's blue & not navy/black. it's a gorgeous shade of indigo and saves me so much time in the AM, quick swipe.. smudge out a lil and liner's done in less than a min for both eyes.

This is really a huge disappointment. It is expensive, not waterproof or smudge proof. After an hour of application, it smears and my eyes are a mess.. I have this in the blue. The colour is beautiful sadly but it just doesn't work. I bought this with my friend and she has the same problem.

Huge disappointment for me. I really wanted to like it. I figured decent reviews on here, seemingly smudge proof in the department store (I should know better than using my hand as a tester) and claims to be waterproof would make it the perfect pencil but alas, it did not work on me. I've got relatively oily lids but I don't think that is the issue. I think it just fades away and isn't long lasting. It goes on smoothly and glides with ease but I found it to be on the lighter side, no as black as I'd like. After a couple of layers, it lasts for the first few hours but soon smudges slightly but really, just fades when less than half the day is over. Maybe it's my lids but I definitely won't be purchasing again. Back to the By Terry Blackstar...

This liner lasts a long time. I had used it everyday and it took me about 4 months to finish the whole pencil. I think it is because the pigment is very concentrated so I only need a very light stroke each day.

This is a superb waterproof eyeliner. What I love most about this liner is that it stays out absolutely smudge proof all day long which is about 10+ hrs before I wash my makeup off. It stays put through my intense workouts! It's easy to remove with makeup remover or wipes. Does not hurt my sensitive eyes. Consistency is great and easy to apply. I really Love the built in sharpener. Wish it wasn't so pricey but it may be worth the money.

These twist up pencils were recently reformulated for 2012, starting with the Turquoise color from the spring collection. I purchased the color Carbon (black) and I haven't been disappointed. I like that the pencil is so precise without needing to be sharpened, though it comes with a built in sharpener for exact application. The intensity of the black isn't the deepest, but it's definitely sufficiently dark. The texture isn't super creamy nor super dry, but a good middle ground. The best part about this liner is how long-lasting it is, and stays on through my 12 hour work day. I always just wear this directly in the lash line and on the upper waterline (I have dry eyes though). This is my go-to work liner, but I would pick a different liner if I wanted a more intense look.

Indoorkitty: did you buy a faulty one? you should take it back.
In reflection to what indoor kitty said, i found this eyeliner to really work for me. Ive always hated eyeliners that rub off at the top of the lip and was really hoping to find one that doesn't do that. And i have!
-Very long-lasting
-Smudge/Transfer proof
-Nice colours and very good pigment
-Sharpener included (even though its retractable eyeliner)
-Not too soft, not too hard as stated before.
-Nice metal packaging with the sharpener cleverly inserted at the top.
-Easy to smudge (to cause a smoky eye look) before it sets.
-Quite expensive. In Australia is $44 or $48 I think.
-Can dry up if the cap isn't on properly.
-Can melt in hot weather
Overall i really do think its a great product and no product comes without cons. I would definitely recommend it :) Hopefully nobody gets a faulty one!

I bought this in navy when it first came out. I've been upset about it ever since.
I'll start with the Pros. This is long-lasting (more so than a regular pencil but less than a gel liner). The color is nice. It's not super soft or super hard, so it's easy to put on. It's pigmented enough to do the job in one swipe.
The packaging was absolute fail. This arrived with the liner tip like completely free of the pencil itself. It fell out en route to me. It's a 2 inch-long navy stick just hanging out there. Whenever I use it, I have to gently coax it back into the pencil mechanism to get it to work. It's incredibly frustrating.
This was totally marketed as being a superior product; in reality, it's just another navy liner. It's not even really waterproof. I feel so completely duped.
The MAC technakohls are a better buy, at $15 a pop (versus like $29 for this baby). I'll finish this off (as I'd get dinged too hard on the shipping to the States to return it) but I'm never picking up another one.
Absolute fail. Please just walk away.
edited to add: this was a CP from a Dior employee in the States. To return it, I'd basically be down another $10 - $20 in shipping and I really really didn't want to spend more money fixing it.

A woman who laced her 63-year-old husband's fruitcake with rat poison because he was cheating on her escaped jail yesterday.
Yvonne Godwin, 56, who trained as a chef, claimed she wanted to make her husband Robert too ill to see his mistress - but did not plan to kill him.
Godwin said she had been 'driven over the edge' after discovering his affair with her best friend's sister.
When told she would not go to prison she fainted in the dock - while her husband had to be escorted from the court by police in case he was attacked by her family.
Yvonne Godwin, who worked in a hospital kitchen, was spared jail after baking a cake laced with poison for her cheating husband, Robert
He had written to the judge on her behalf, but the jury at Gloucester Crown Court heard she had endured decades of abuse at his hands. She was also recovering from cancer at the time of the poisoning incident.
Godwin discovered in March that her partner of 30 years was having an affair, and told a neighbour she hated him and 'wanted him dead'. Prosecutor Lisa Hennessy said the neighbour contacted police after Mrs Godwin told him she had made 'a nice fruitcake' for her husband.
Police were sent to the couple's home in Cheltenham but Mrs Godwin denied the poisoning plot.
However, a day later she went back to police and admitted she had lied, and that
had put poison in a fruitcake for Mr Godwin.
Analysis showed she had used only two teaspoons of poison and would have needed to dramatically increase the dose to make it deadly.
Blue blobs of the poison could be seen on the outside of the cake. Prosecutor Lisa Hennessy said: 'It was certainly not a professional attempt.'
Neither of the Godwins was said to have suffered any ill-effects.
Emily Durston, defending, said: 'Mrs Godwin wanted to make Mr Godwin ill so that he wouldn't leave the house. Effectively she wanted to stop him from leaving the house so he wouldn't go to see his mistress. Miss Durston said Godwin also tried to poison herself with the cake 'because she was desperate, she was at breaking point'.
Godwin admitted to trying to poison her husband, a retired builder. However, Judge Jamie Tabor QC said he believed her actions were a cry for help in the couple's troubled relationship, and not an attempt at murder.

The couple divorced 17 years ago, rekindled their relationship a year later and had been living as man and wife, but never remarried. Judge Tabor said letters from Godshewin's five children revealed she had suffered years of physical and verbal abuse, and her medical records showed she had complained of domestic violence since the 1970s.
He said he had also received a letter from Mr Godwin, who had asked his former wife to go back to him, and added: 'He pleads for mercy on her behalf.'
Robert Godwin was believed to have been having an affair with Julie Morrison
He gave Godwin a 12-month jail sentence, suspended for two years, and banned her from entering the borough of Cheltenham or contacting Mr Godwin for a year.
'You were recovering from cancer, you were in an abusive relationship and you discovered that your husband - not himself in the first blush of youth - was being unfaithful to you,' he said.
'If you had simply poisoned him because he had been unfaithful you would not be escaping being sent to prison, but there was a great deal more going on in your life.
'I am going to prohibit you from contacting your husband for a period of a year to allow you to recover your equilibrium. Then and only then can you decide if you want to have anything further to do with him.'
Mr Godwin refused to comment, but at an earlier hearing he insisted that his wife was innocent and should not have been charged.
He said: 'I don't think she put poison in anything. There's nothing wrong with me. She is a wonderful woman and a loving, caring person.'
Godwin left the court in tears, and had to be physically supported by her children.
They said she had stopped replying to her husband's letters while in custody before the trial and was trying to rebuild her life.
Friends said Godwin was 'a wonderful cook' who had worked at a local hospital until her cancer diagnosis five years ago. 'People see her as the victim,' said one.
'Everyone feels sorry for her and no one has an iota of sympathy for Robert.'
Mr Godwin is believed to have been having an affair with Julie Morrison, a widow of 41.

Should I buy a diamond online?
Most of my friends know about my longtime gemology obsession, so several times each year I get a phone call that someone needs help purchasing an engagement ring and the diamond that goes with it. My friends know that I don't deal in, invest in, or sell diamonds, nor do I make any money by assisting them in making the purchase. As a result, they feel comfortable knowing they are getting a truly unbiased and knowledgable opinion.
I've found that I start with the same two pieces of general advice every time.
- Don't buy a diamond. I try to explain to my friend that diamonds are not really rare, are not a very good store of value, and are not a good investment except in some very special circumstances. There are many colored gem alternatives that are far more unique and valuable. That pitch only works 15% of the time. The rest of the time, the fiance-to-be just wants a diamond.
- If you insist on buying a diamond, don't buy it online. Once it's clear my efforts in #1 will not succeed, I tell my friend (who is almost always a first-time diamond buyer) that they shouldn't even consider buying a diamond online at a website like bluenile or on eBay.
TOP 3 reasons NOT to buy a diamond online.
#1 – You can't buy a diamond off of a certificate because it isn't a commodity.
In the middle of the 20th century, the GIA conceived a standard and easy-to-understand system for communicating the quality of a diamond. These 4C's of diamond buying were created to simplify an inherently complex subject so that consumers would be comfortable they had enough knowledge to make an expensive purchase. The problem is that the 4C's is a dramatic over-simplification, and, as a result, most consumers assume that diamonds with the same grades for cut, clarity, and color are the same, so they can then just shop for the lowest price. It doesn't work that way — especially when it comes to cut, which is where most consumers make critical mistakes when buying online.
For example, two diamonds, both of which have an identical cut grade of excellent, can be dramatically different in how they handle light (which is what makes a diamond beautiful). Round diamonds of the same cut grade can have huge variations in price (as much as 20 – 30%) based on their "make," or the overall quality and character of the cut. Yet their certificates look identical. It takes an expert – someone who has looked at thousands of diamonds and truly understands diamond cutting – to distinguish a great "make" from an average or above average "make." It can't be captured in a lab report, even if you know the optimal proportions and percentages for a specific cut and/or shape. In fact, these consumers are known in the trade as consumers who are "buying off the numbers." In my experience, for the most part, these consumers actually end up paying more than their less-educated counterparts for a diamond of comparable value because they are over-confident in their "research" and therefore end up paying up for things that don't matter or that they don't truly understand.
Here is another example: I just helped a friend who was convinced he got an "amazing" deal on a modified cushion. It was 20% cheaper than anything comparable, he bought it online, and he was super excited. When I looked at the numbers on the GIA certificate, two issues jumped out at me. First, the "make" of the stone seemed to be fair (not excellent). The GIA certificate indicated that the girdle was "very thick" (concerning for a number of reasons that are covered elsewhere on this website). Second, based on the weight (1.62 carats), the face-up size of the stone seemed small. Indeed, when I saw it in person, I found out why the diamond was such a good deal. There was at least 25 points of weight (0.25 carats) that the cutter left in the girdle to preserve weight, so the diamond weighed 1.62 carats "faced-up" but looked like/measured like a 1.30-ish carat diamond. The cutter did that because there is an inflection point in price above 1.50 carats, and if he left the girdle thick, eventually someone like my friend would pay more for it than a better cut cushion of the same face-up size that weighed 1.35 carats. A dealer, betting on that fact, stocked the stone and sold it to my friend at a "big discount" to comparable stones that he saw online. My friend literally paid for 0.25 carats of weight that can't be seen, adds no value to the face-up size of the stone, and actually negatively impacts the optical performance of the stone. It still got a cut grade of Excellent from GIA, but by the time my friend got it and talked to me, he owned the stone already. On my recommendation he actually sent it out to be re-cut. Now he owns a fantastic make, and he learned two very valuable lessons: (1) a little bit of knowledge is a very dangerous thing, and #2 below…
#2 – You aren't going to get a better deal buying online.
Most of my friends are convinced that they can get a "better deal" or a "great deal" by buying online. Look, I buy everything online (from diapers to clothes to groceries). And while I think it is reasonable to be value-oriented in everything one purchases, for the most part, there really is no such thing as a great deal. Dealers, including bluenile, buy diamonds from primary sources. Cutters will often re-work older diamonds to maximize their value (sometimes on their own, mostly on behalf of dealers or jewelers), and jewelers often make money buying diamonds "over the counter" from their customers and holding them to be re-sold to other customers at a profit or simply flipping them. These are people in the trade or business of buying diamonds, and they are largely agnostic as to any specific requirements. Their objective is to make money from people like you when you are looking to make a purchase. Why would they sell something of value to you for less than they could get elsewhere in the marketplace? They won't and they don't. This is precisely why there is an old saying that "there is no such thing as a friend in the diamond business." The thing to keep in mind is that your objective is qualitatively different than a dealer's objective: you aren't trying to get a great deal to make money. You want to acquire a diamond for a specific purpose, and your objective should be to get the best value. You are buying something when you need to, and you have specific requirements, and they are buying something to make money.
#3 – Dealers don't buy diamonds site-unseen and you shouldn't either.
When someone who buys diamonds to make money won't buy online, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that you should do so. I know dealers who have been in the business for 30+ years, and they won't touch a diamond without seeing it.
What to do? Here's what I recommend.
- Work with a jeweler you trust. If you need a recommendation, feel free to email us admin (at) gemsociety (dot) org and we can send you some names of IGS members we know.
- Don't focus on a "great deal" focus on value (specifically cut, which is the real driver of value).
- If a deal is too good to be true, it almost always is.
- Consider setting a sapphire or spinel instead 🙂

Two fillies who recently started Classics at single-figure odds today find themselves appearing on midweek cards at Newcastle and Warwick, but this apparent indignity by no means denotes a precipitate decline. Their artful trainers instead restore both Sajjhaa and Seta to Listed company in the expectation that each will eventually justify the high hopes that preceded them to the Oaks and 1,000 Guineas respectively.
That Michael Jarvis was prepared to fast-track Sajjhaa to Epsom, barely a fortnight after her debut, was sufficient for her to be sent off at just 8-1. In the event, she trailed in last, but she was forgivably bewildered by the contours of the track and hectic competition, and Frankie Dettori was sensibly indulgent once it became apparent that the gamble wasn't going to come off.
Sajjhaa had dominated in the parade ring, even so, and her seven-length success at Sandown remains fresh in the memory as she drops back in distance for the EBF Hoppings Stakes at Newcastle. Her rivals retain a considerable advantage in experience, but have a corresponding deficit in promise. "Obviously, nothing went right for her in the Oaks," Jarvis said yesterday. "I think a combination of the track and her inexperience were to blame, but she came out of the race in really good form, and this looks a good opportunity to get her back on the road. She's back to 10 furlongs, which will be good for her, and I just hope they're putting plenty of water on the track. We'd be very hopeful."
Luca Cumani has already shown the merit of this kind of return to basics, Seta having beaten three runners in a conditions race at Leicester after a disappointing reappearance in the Guineas. She, too, had her excuses that day, marooned by the draw and leaving the overall impression that she remained likely to improve as the season unfolded. She still seemed to be learning her trade at Leicester, coping well with a drop in trip, and it will be intriguing to see whether she proves any sharper, kept to seven furlongs round the dizzy bends of Warwick. On pedigree she should certainly stay farther.
There was disappointing news from the United States a few days ago, when it was announced that the 2011 Breeders' Cup would for the second year running be staged at Churchill Downs. The dirt surface there means that the Europeans, who enjoyed unprecedented success on the synthetic track at Santa Anita over the last two years, will be at a disadvantage against the home team. But yesterday there was a crumb of comfort from the powerful chairman of Santa Anita, Frank Stronach, who said that the replacement of the track there would wait until next year at the earliest – and that he himself favours a different type of synthetic track. Californian traditionalists have been lobbying for the restoration of dirt.
Brian Ellison excelled yesterday with a central role in two of the most venerable handicaps in the calendar. He won the Carlisle Bell with Camerooney, and saddled the second, third and fourth behind Brushing in the Cumberland Plate.
Turf account
Galiotto (3.10 Goodwood) Beaten fully seven lengths last time, but was caught out by a steady pace before picking up well. Steps back up to a distance in keeping with his stout pedigree.
Next best
Tell Halaf (6.10 Newcastle) Confirmed that he remains on a fair rating when a close third at Lingfield the other day, all dressed up with nowhere to go for much of the final furlong.
One to watch
Imposing (Sir Michael Stoute) Was turned over as favourite at Ascot on Saturday but left no doubt that he is a Group performer in the making, doing really well to run the winner to a neck.
Where the money's going
Deauville Flyer's improving prospects of making the cut in the John Smith's Northumberland Plate at Newcastle on Saturday prompted further support with Totesport yesterday, cut to 5-1 from 7-1.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!
I know most people are putting the finishing touches on their Christmas -- wrapping presents, baking goodies and visiting loved ones.
Not me. Well, I do have some presents to wrap. But I am feverishly working on thank you cards for the many baby gifts I received for the birth of my daughter, Rachel, in November.
My husband has been pushing me like crazy to get these cards done. Of course, I couldn't just buy basic thank you cards and call it good. But I did cheat -- a little.
I bought some cute basic blank note cards at Wal-Mart, pictured below. The pink color was a bit odd to match, so I stayed away from using any pink paper to embellish them.
I also bought a pack of these wonderful Sticko stickers of pink baby hand and foot prints.
Then I broke out my well-used but beloved square punch and some ivory-colored scrap paper to make squares and highlight the hand and foot prints.
Then I printed some sentiments that said Thanks For The Baby Gift. I actually used my Silhouette software to print these so I could make sure they would fit in the 2-inch squares.
And with some inking around the edges and some glue, here is the finished project:

BeschreibungAccounting for Improvement offers concrete and constructive demonstrations of the possibilities of designing participative forms of organization. Field experiment cases illustrate how the operational level can assume a new significance in competitiveness and strategic positioning. In this way, the relevance of the accounting function to the improvement of productivity and quality is restored.Several broadly applicable lessons can be learnt, among them: how companies can strengthen their competitive base by patient improvement; how people with operative jobs can take command of their work situation and improve it in quality as well as efficiency.New bottom-up, people-orientated, empirically-founded approaches to decentralised participative management demonstrate a place for individuals and teamwork in today's "lost relevance" and "smart machine" environment.

Copper theft closes Sunshine Coast rail stations
Two Sunshine Coast railway stations remain closed this morning after the theft of copper wiring used to earth the overhead powerlines.
Thieves stole the heavy-duty wiring from six Sunshine Coast stations yesterday.
Eumundi, Mooloolah, Palmwoods and Woombye stations have reopened but Cooran and Pomona remain closed due to safety concerns.
John Pistak from Queensland Rail says thieves are risking death.
"If there is any kind of earth leakage ... leakage of any electrical current when you actually take the copper, you can in fact create a circuit yourself and it's a significant danger to the people doing the thieving," he said.
Mr Pistak says copper wire theft is an increasing problem.
"We've had a number of occasions of copper being stolen from around the network," he said.
"Some places like this, others from the overhead system that ... actually earths the mast to the ground, various transformer stations.
"It's becoming quite a problem."

The author of In Search of Lost Time crops up a lot in Paul Bailey's very sweet, very sad and very short new novel, but it's not only its brevity – a mere 151 pages – that sets it apart from Proust's modernist mammoth.
Shortly after his beloved mother's death in 1927, Dinu, a 19-year-old Romanian, is dispatched by his wealthy father to Paris. The stated purpose for the pale young aesthete is a chance for him to steep himself in Europe's capital of culture, and write. But it seems pretty clear that the tacit aim is to distract him from an acute and consuming grief. Dinu learns much here while busy not writing, not least of the demimonde Proust inhabited and where he is able to discover his transgressive sexuality in a time long before homosexuals – even in Paris – were able to be "gay".
Narrating these formative years from a distance of four decades, Dinu recalls finding "a complicated – oh how complicated – soulmate" in Proust. The master is five years dead when Dinu arrives, but traces of his life remain in the hidden society of forbidden appetites Dinu is drawn to, despite the interdictions of his Orthodox faith, and the ghostly disapproval of his mother.
One afternoon, habits loosened by claret, he takes some of his father's subsidy to commit "a crime against nature and a cardinal sin" at the Bains du Ballon d'Alsace, where Monsieur Albert caters to monied gentlemen – including, in the past, a certain Marcel – with unusual tastes. M Albert, enthroned behind a cash box, and scenting the arrival of another of the aristocrats who are "his passion", directs the tremulous ingenue in to see "a beast beyond compare".
Strong and dark where Dinu is pale and spindly, "Honoré" fulfils the wishes he can barely acknowledge. After an overwhelming first experience of sex, the two of them shed their thin French aliases and discover they are both Romanian. Razvan, it turns out, was born a peasant but was adopted rather whimsically by a minor royal, educated abroad and refined out of his original existence before losing his benefactor.
So begins a love that will continue through Europe's convulsions in the coming years, informed by the author's long acquaintance with a tortured nation. Unlike Proust's accounts of delusional passion, the truth of their love is never in doubt, despite the sordid commercial transaction with which it begins.
The story almost challenges us to find all this sentimental, carrying its feeling with an unembarrassed intensity and Romanian sufletul (soul). Cutting against any surrender to schmaltz is a clear-eyed portrait of a country succumbing to nazism. First his cousin Raoul, who had been Dinu's tutor in cosmopolitan pleasure, returns to Bucharest and severs ties with Jewish business; then Dinu hears antisemitic vocabulary begin to poison the conversations of even the most apparently large-hearted of his loved ones.
Loss and grief have been a preoccupation in many of Bailey's novels since his 1967 debut, and they recur here in a narrative that mixes private and public tragedy. What is missing is the amplitude that made the crowded casts of novels such as his Booker-nominated Gabriel's Lament fizz with Dickensian energy, replaced with something more distilled.
In an underacknowledged career, Bailey has mastered the craft of telling a large story through small but piquant details and knowing where the reader can be left to fill in the spaces. His nimble-footed storytelling moves lightly over great distances of time and space to produce something like a Victorian novel in miniature.
