What is Mafia? Sometimes called Werewolf, it's a fun party game of accusations and conspiracy. If you haven't had the pleasure of playing this charmingly devious game at a convention or on another web forum, there's a fun Flash animation here to help you understand the rules.
I'll be moderating a Dr. Who-themed Mafia game here on the GeekDad Community. If you're interested in joining in, all you have to do is sign up below.
Some rules to read before you sign up:
If you haven't already, just sign up to join the GeekDad Community here and then respond below if you'd like to join the game!
(Thanks to Michael Harrison for setting up the first GeekDad Mafia game, and providing the layout I'm using here, although the roles have been modified to add flavor)
Players (looking for 13 total Looks like we're going with 11):
Tags: doctor who, dr. who, mafia
My hiding was purely a consequence of IRL crazy work/life stuff.
I have failed to effectively use my skills. For that I apologise - I am pleased to still be around.
I think we do have to keep an eye on the facts...
Vote Count 4.1:
Daniel Donahoo: 1 / T Kelly
Not Voting: 3 / Daniel Donahoo, Gene Davis, Joe Earnest
With 4 players remaining, it takes 2 votes to convict. Deadline is Wednesday, June 27, 10:30p MDT (GMT-6:00), approx. 23 hours.
Well as we are running out of time, it is awfully quiet out there. I have to concur with T Kelly - Bob's last actions are our best clue at this point. Therefore:
Vote: Daniel
Final Vote Count Day 4:
Daniel Donahoo: 2 / T Kelly, Gene Davis
Not Voting: 2 / Daniel Donahoo, Joe Earnest
With 4 players remaining, it takes 2 votes to convict.
The End of Day
With a boyish smile that had melted the hearts and loosened the knees of a thousand people on a thousand worlds, Captain Jack faced River. "This should be interesting. I've been stabbed, shot, drowned, blown up, buried for a thousand years, and encased in cement. What do you possibly think you have in that bag of tricks that can kill me? Why don't you just stop now and go back to your Doctor? Live well and love each other for whatever time you have remaining. You've sacrificed your friends and your family, and for what? A few extra days, months, years?"
As his smile slowly slipped away, she saw the misery of a lifetime of love and loss that would never end. "Please, River, take it from someone who knows best because he will never know for himself: there is no dishonor in death after a long and brilliant life such as you two have shared."
River bowed her head in shame. Jack was right. She had failed. But as he activated the vortex manipulator on his wrist and vanished in a flash of light, standing once again when so many had fallen around him, she also knew she would not give up. Could not give up. Too much had been lost already for it to have been in vain. Even if she could never return to the man she loved, she would at least make it safe for him to live on without her.
Gazing out the skylight, River watched the daylight fade into night, knowing it would be her last one in this place, and that, whether the dawn brought success or failure, for her, there could be no salvation.
Day 4 closes, as Captain Jack Harkness (Daniel Donahoo), Town-Aligned Bulletproof Cop (Insane), leaves the Library. The final night has fallen. For ill or for good, Day 5 is the beginning of the end, and will start Friday, June 29, 10:30p MDT (GMT-6:00).
River loaded the last of the bodies into the TARDIS. It had all been for naught. All of the friends and family she had brought to the Library were now gone, lost to her forever. Standing in the doorway of the TARDIS, she addressed the two who remained.
"They are all dead. Friends, enemies, mother, and now father. I am leaving now. I will return to London, awaken The Doctor, explain what has happened, and spend every hour I have left begging his forgiveness for the awful deeds I've done here. You two can sort it out. Life is too short."
Turning to the floating wooden orb, River said, "Thank you, Cal, for your help. I will leave you now in peace. Please express my gratitude to Dr. Moon, and pass along this one last request: follow the sun. Place this damnable planet in the darkness of eclipse until these two have finished with each other."
River turned away, closed the door, and with a familiar woosh-shvoop sound recognizable across the galaxy, the TARDIS disappeared. In the Library, darkness remained. For one of the survivors, dawn would never come again.
Rory Williams (Joe Earnest), Town-Aligned Lover, has left the library.
With two players left, the day becomes irrelevant. Send me your night actions. Once I have a response from both of you (or 48 hours has passed), the night will end and a new night will begin. You have until Saturday, June 30, 12:00pm MDT (GMT-6:00) for your first night action.
In the Library, two remained. One who killed for pleasure, the other for sustenance. Prisoner Zero, the perfect mimic, and the Weeping Angel, the hunter of living energy with the perfect defense mechanism. They stared across the room, looking for an opening, knowing that the other's demise was just a blink away.
Prisoner Zero worked diligently at the terminal, trying to activate the podium next to him. All he had to do was turn it on, face it towards the Angel, and lock it in position, and the Angel would remain frozen, locked in the gaze of the never tiring computer-controlled face. All he had to do was keep looking, never blinking. His species could go weeks without sleep. It was only a matter of time now.
"What have you done to me? I can't see. Who turned out the lights?"
From across the room, the empty chair came to life, and Davros' last words, echoing through the chamber, his body kept animated by the Vashta Nerada were just the distraction the Angel needed. Prisoner Zero glanced at the empty chair, just for a second, and the last thing he felt was the hard, cold hand wrapping around his throat.
And with a final scream, Prisoner Zero (Gene Davis) Anti-Town Tracker, has left the library. The Weeping Angel (T Kelly) alone remains, surrounded by billions of billions of Vashta Nerada to feed off for eternity. Congratulations to our second GeekDad Mafia winner and the first Serial Killer to win the game. Thank you all for playing!
Congrats T Kelly!
Wow, well-played, T. That was an intense one toward the beginning. I felt like such a newb for the whole random assignment thing. I honestly thought it was a good idea!
I had a lot of fun playing. Thanks to Randy for putting it on and running everything!
Wow, great game guys! I had a blast! Good job T Kelly and thank you so much Randy.
Here are all the roles and abilities, in case anyone is curious. My two main focuses were to try to make it as even as possible, and try to make it so that characters and their roles and abilities coincided (e.g. Rory and Amy were the lovers, Jack and Martha were investigators, etc.) Since we ended the game with 1 serial killer, 1 townie, and 1 scum, I think the even part worked out well. As for the roles, I modified a few so that they went well with their character.
A couple of things that would be fun to see in the future:
All in all, though, I thought it went really well and I had a great time. Thanks to everyone for playing. I look forward to taking part in the next game. Who's up for moderating another one?
Here is the character list. I also have a complete breakdown of comments, votes, actions, etc. if anyone is interested.

Chickenpox |
Chickenpox (varicella) is a viral infection that causes an itchy, blister-like rash. Chickenpox is highly contagious to people who haven't had the disease nor been vaccinated against it. Before routine chickenpox vaccination, virtually all people had been infected by the time they reached adulthood, sometimes with serious complications. Today, the number of cases and hospitalizations is down dramatically.
For most people, chickenpox is a mild disease. Still, it's better to get vaccinated. The chickenpox vaccine is a safe, effective way to prevent chickenpox and its possible complications.

Curse of the Artizan
It's really no secret that the current faction of Metal Review mostly ignores what stems from the "power" realm of heavy metal today. I suppose these sorts of things can be expected as genres fall in and out of the general metal publics' graces. But I'd be lying if I didn't admit that it bums me out that we don't keep a closer ear to the ground when it comes to good, heartfelt power metal in these parts.
It's not entirely our fault, though. For every solid Cage, Jag Panzer or Hibria that eventually bubbles to the surface, there remains three times as many bullshit acts still overly concerned with the silkiness of their hair to contend with. In short, no other sub-genre has to fight harder to overcome the corniness that's settled into its roots than good ol' fashioned power metal.
Take Jacksonville, Florida's Artizan, for example. An album like Curse of the Artizan hits the doorstep at MR and my first (admittedly rude) reaction is that their brand of progressive power metal might as well be Dan Fogelberg to the lionshare of our readers more concerned with having their metal boundaries pushed through grinding aggression or straight-jacketed insanity. Hell, even those with a penchant for the heavier end of the prog/power spectrum might find this material to be light, despite that sweetly aggressive cover artwork fitting for the Nevermores or Zero Hours in the house.
But Curse of the Artizan is a damned enjoyable record, plain and simple. It might be a fair stretch from the heaviest thing you'll gobble down this year, but it's a prime example of a hard-working underground US progressive metal act less concerned about current trends and more focused on delivering smartly crafted tunes tailor-made for those who like it m-e-l-o-d-i-c. For comparison's sake, I'd point to bands like Tarot, Crimson Glory and the aforementioned Jag Panzer as primary influences. And just like those bands, Artizan's overall slant pushes a mid-paced gait that emphasizes catchiness achieved through dexterous songcrafting and shitloads of melodic guitar work, so those raised on a steady diet of shimmery leads will find plenty to grab hold of here.
All three songs from the band's 2009 EP are presented again, but they're integral to the album's "struggling artisan" concept, so that's hardly something I'd call outright unfavorable, especially considering the additional four cuts add a full 30-minutes to the cause. And while I'd say the entire undertaking is rewarding, highlights strike truest when tunes are at their catchiest and most melodic -- the opening "Trade the World", for example, and the album's most epic offering, "Fire" -- but no track skimps on those elements, giving the entire album a true sense of flow from start to finish.
Vocalist Tom Braden's style brings to mind a cross-pollination of John Arch, Rain Irving (While Heaven Wept) and one-time Crimson Glory vocalist Midnight, so I'd imagine those more sensitive to a "lighter approach" will find this to be Curse of the Artizan's biggest point of contention. It's a graceful, airy delivery, I'd certainly confirm, but it's also quite good, as evidenced by his ability to lift the album's more mellow measures, like the smooth opening of the aforementioned "Fire".
Honestly, my only fuss with this record is that I do wonder what these dudes would sound like if they turned the corner and really bolstered the riffing element of the formula. As of now, apart from a few notably chunky break-outs, the bulk of Artizan's heft is delivered via founding member Ty Tammeus' vigorous drumming, so I'd be psyched if future releases piggybacked his heavy hand with an even harder push into the more aggressive side of the spectrum. Still, even without the added hostility, I'd say Artizan's emphasis on infectious, exceedingly melodic songcrafting makes Curse of the Artizan one of the more satisfying progressive power metal records I've encountered this year.

So i tried using the internet to set the time on my playstation but it keeps saying like 1hr early than what it should, was going to use that music unlimited but keeps telling me i need to sort the time out, so i tried manually but still no luck. :/, any ideas thanks?

I find it odd that the PS3 needs changing between BST and GMT and that the clock is prone to drifting out of time
I recently got my PlayStation 2 out of the attic the other week and plugged it in, without a memory card and not only was it at the correct time but it was also in BST. It had been in the attic for over two years unused but it has a better and more durable clock
Sony you are weird mate
on 16-07-2011 04:34 PM
yh i remeber few years back when we had the last leap year the my 40GB phat would'nt sign in PSN for few days as the clock was out and had to wait for an update to get it working again.
i got the same problem with sending and recieving messages, i would send a messages at about 12:30pm say to a friend and then they would reply about 2/3 min later but it would show 11:33am.

Expect more soil insecticide used with Bt hybrids
resize text | Tweet |
Gray said that more research is needed on the potential insect resistance management benefits of a soil insecticide used in combination with a Bt hybrid.
"I think it is worth mentioning that one of the key benefits touted concerning the use of Bt hybrids for corn rootworm management was the reduction of soil insecticide use," he said. "It is a bit surprising that 10 years after the first Bt hybrids entered the marketplace for corn rootworms in 2003 that a heightened interest in the use of soil insecticides has surfaced in such a significant fashion."
Gray concluded that, unlike the record-breaking warm temperatures of March 2012 that caused early emergence of western corn rootworm, this year's weather does not favor early emergence.

A Few Facts About Buying Shared Ownership Property
9 03 2012Shared ownership is generally referred to by the Government as 'homebuy', but can also be called 'part buy/ part rent'. Namely, you generally buy a percentage share of a property owned by a housing association and then pay rent on the remaining share that you do not own, hence: 'part buy/ part rent'. It is possible to buy a small share initially, such as 25%, and gradually buy the remaining shares in the property in a process known as 'staircasing'. Not all schemes work on this basis and there are a number of variations on the shared ownership theme, such as Open Market home buy, and other 'shared equity' schemes where no rent is payable.
If you are just starting to research shared ownership mortgages/ homebuy schemes, and have not yet been accepted by a housing association, then as your first port of call, you need to get yourself a shared ownership agent. They will then be able to tell you whether you qualify for a shared ownership scheme and take you through how to register for a shared ownership scheme in your area.
Once you have been accepted you have to take in consideration a few of the following – The size of deposit, if any, you are putting down – it is possible to buy 100% of a share and there are lenders out there who will consider this (but the lender will normally require your lease to have a special 'mortgage protection clause). You also need to think about what share you are looking to buy in the property (e.g. 25%, 30%, 50%) and the rent you can afford to pay on the share you do not own (if any).
A few facts to remember when buying shared property are – Shared Ownership Mortgages make buying a home more affordable because you buy part and part rent your home, Homebuy refers to the Government's range of Shared Ownership Schemes. And your local housing association manage shared ownership schemes in your area.

CARE is an informal consultation team. CLU's CARE endeavors to promote and protect the health and well-being of all members of the CLU community. Consultation meetings are held twice monthly and as needed, at the request of CLU faculty, staff, or students who are concerned about the behavior of a CLU community member (student, faculty or staff member) that is potentially dangerous to him/herself or to others.
Permanent members of CLU's CARE include:
- CLU Campus Public Safety Director
- Director of Student Life
- Associate Director of Student Life
- Director of Student Retention
- Director of Student Counseling Services
- Director of Health Services
In matters involving members of the CLU faculty or staff, the Director of Human Resources would join the CARE meeting.
CARE Issues
Some behavior problems have no clear explanation but are clearly not conducive to the supportive learning environment CLU intends to promote. At other times, a person's poor behavior can be linked to substance use, a medical condition or a mental health problem.
The CARE gathers and examines information from a variety of sources in an effort to assess whether a CLU community member might need additional assistance and, if so, how that might be provided most helpfully. In addition to the five core CARE members, legal counsel, other administrators, faculty, or staff members knowledgeable of the issue at hand might also meet with the CARE.
Contacting CLU's CARE Team
Students, faculty and staff members who wish to inform CLU's CARE of a community member whose behavior threatens the health and safety of that person or others, may send an email to email@example.com. The individual may also provide information to CARE by calling the CLU 24 hour Campus Conduct Hotline at (866) 943-5787 or by contacting any member of CARE directly.
The CARE asks that emails provide the following information:
- Name of the individual whose behavior raises a concern
- Basis of the concern (a description of the behavior)
- Name of the reporting party (optional)
The team will develop and recommend a coordinated plan of action. All CARE efforts will be directed toward striking a balance between interests in ensuring community safety, protecting individual rights, and in preserving a healthy campus learning, living, and working environment.
CARE considerations include review of results of fact gathering activities, review of and development of strategies to contain disruptive behavior, determination of resource availability and referral for assistance in diminishing the perceived core problem, referral for determination of whether accommodations are required by law, and behavior modification suggestions for the Dean of Students or the Director of Human Resources to consider imposing.

In the 1870s Henry James captured this waterfront town's mood of prim grace while writing (and setting) Daisy Miller in the Hôtel des Trois Couronnes. Indeed, despite its virtual twinning with glamorous Montreux, Vevey retains its air of isolation and old-world gentility. Loyal visitors have been returning for generations to gaze at the Dent d'Oche (7,288 feet), across the water in France, and make sedate steamer excursions into Montreux and Lausanne. Today there are some who come just to see the bronze statue of Charlie Chaplin in a rose garden on the lakefront quay, and to take the funicular or mountain train up to Mont Pèlerin. Vevey is also a great walking town, with more character in its shuttered Old Town; better museums, landmarks, and shops; and more native activity in its wine market than cosmopolitan Montreux can muster.

Classic Baby Names: 14 gorgeous under-the-radar choices for girls
The golden Aurelia was a Roman name borne most famously by Julius Caesar's mother. In more modern times, it was the name of poet Sylvia Plath's mother. We see Aurelia rising again after a half-century slumber along with other names from ancient Rome. Sister name Aurora is already in the Top 200.

lanada Says:
TWO of my top picks for baby #2 are mentioned here (one for a first and the other for a middle)! Have you been peeking at my list?
NellieDellie Says:
Oh how I love Harriet. Lucinda is another of my favourites mentioned here. Also noticed a lot of these are Berry favs
sarahmezz Says:
I waited until the very last name to see my favourite, Susannah! I think you've just confirmed it's use for my first daughter's name!
MissusAytch Says:
With the exception of Marian, Aurelia and Margo, I like all of these.
I really wanted to use a Mar- name to honor family members, and Marcella was at the top of the list, above Marlena and Mariella. Seeing it in this context makes me want to consider Marcella again.
hayleysaunt Says:
I love Mabel, Marian/ Marion, and Aurelia. I'm surprised Louisa is not in the top 1000 – such a classic!
gingerkid Says:
Awww, crap. Half of my top secret favorite names are on this list! No joke, since 2009 I've hoped that if I had another girl someday, I'd get to name her Aurelia Margot.
Cordelia, Louisa, Lucinda, and Susannah have also been on my girl list for quite a while, too. Guess my names aren't so top secret after all! What's kind of funny is that, while I love Nameberry, my life has been in turmoil for quite a while and I have rarely spent time on the website in the past year or two. So, I really have no idea what's up and coming as far as names go anymore. And yet, here I am, right in line with the Nameberry trends!
I also just wanted to say that I will never complain about someone posting a gorgeous ballet picture whenever possible, but I did want to point out that there isn't a character in the ballet version of Don Quixote named Lucinda. I imagine you all already knew that, but I wanted to share that just because I'm a mega ballet nerd and I take any opportunity I can to pass on semi-useless ballet trivia, haha! The principal female character in the ballet is named Kitri. Gorgeous choice of a photo, by the way!
livia Says:
I love this post. Antonia, Aurelia, Clementine, Harriet, Louisa, and Susannah are all on my list.
Is there going to be a boys' version?
tori101 Says:
Honestly love so many of these names…
Aurelia – such a pretty romantic name
Clementine – I have a feeling that Clementine will become popular in the UK I've already met two.
Cordelia – I love Shakespeare, the conntations surrounding him, the associations of England and the theories about him. I also love the names, Cordelia being one of them.
India – a teacher I once had, named her daughter India after the country that her married her husband in. I love it!
Louisa – such a fresh classic really pretty surprised by Louisa's lack of popularity.
Margo – Love as a spunky middle name for Juliet or Claire.
Marian – A strong feminine choice
Mercy – I like Mercy I think she's sweet.
Susannah – I like Susannah a lot she feels very fruity and sweet. Prefer Susannah over Shoshana
Please say there is a boy's version?!
JennyJenJen0123 Says:
I have a Susannah and I must say I've always gotten wonderful reactions from people about her name. They always repeat it with a sound of wonder in their voices–almost like they are happy she isn't just one more Bella or Olivia (two names I've always liked until they became soooooooo popular).
Mego0801 Says:
Susannah and Cordelia aren't too bad, but I don't care at all for the rest of these names!! I know it's a trendy Nameberry thing to like old names or names that aren't stylish so this blog post will probably please alot of Berries, just not me!
Pam Says:
JennyJenJen, I would love to have had the chance to name a daughter Susannah — it's a personal favorite of mine and just so gorgeous. And of course I love all these others too. There will be a boys' version but I have to say there aren't as many great classics for boys beneath the Top 1000. There are some great old names, but they feel quirkier.
littlemissmariss Says:
This basically sums up my list!! I wish my partner could be more on board with it though, he prefers more mainstream If I had a daughter by myself, I would have trouble deciding between Clementine, Mabel, and Harriet!! Oh my gosh I adore those names more than its healthy!!! <3
On the note of Antonia, I think Annie would be a lovely nick name. I entirely agree about Toni and Tonia being less.. gorgeous.
Ah thanks for the list! I loved it!! <3
melissa2 Says:
India and Susanna are personal favorites. I've never warned up to Harriet, but I'd use the stand-alone nn Hattie in a heartbeat (if my DH wouldn't pass out at the very idea of it).
I see the appeal of Lucinda, but I had a friend in school who was tormented by adolescent boys calling her "LOOSE-end-a… which end is loosest?" Gack.
HerMajesty Says:
Most of these are on my favourites list!Antonia, Aurelia, Clementine, Cordelia, India, Margo, Marian, Mercy, Susannah.
And my moms friends name is Lucinda nn Cindy.I love Susannah, but prefer the Shoshannah spelling. Marian is a fav. of mine because of Robinhood☺ and Cordelia I found in an old book about celtic stuff. The rest, I think are pretty, and it suprises me that some of them arn't in the top 1,000, but hey, I'm not complaining:)
UselessKitty Says:
I really like Lucinda, Clementine, Margo (although I prefer the Margaux spelling). I love Cordelia, still trying to get my hubby on board.
Saracita00 Says:
Enjoyed seeing your nominations! I wouldn't use any of these but it was an interesting read. My favorites are Marian, Margo and Susannah but I know ladies in their 20s and 30′s with these names so they are unfortunately "mom names" to me. I'd love to meet some little girls with these names though.
jpruitt76 Says:
Lucinda, Margot and Susannah are long-time faves of mine. And Harriet/Hattie and Clementine are newer loves.
I've only known one Lucinda in my life (until recently when a college friend used it, although she calls her daughter Lucy). This Lucinda has always gone by her full name and now that she is a grandmother, all the children in the family call her simply "Cinda" – I love it.
Re: Susannah, another intriguing nickname that I think relates would be Sosie.
Mischa Says:
I love Antonia, Aurelia, Clementine, Louisa, Mabel, Margot and Susannah.
I like Harriet, Lucinda, Marian, Marcella, Mercy and Marian.
Cordelia is a little too ultrafrilly for my taste but it's still a pretty unique choice.
Personally, I don't think the name India should be on this list because I wouldn't define it as "classic".
R_J Says:
Very good list, and accurate in the way it's described. I love Susannah; it's becoming a firm second choice on my list.
I read Ray Bradbury's "All Summer in a Day" when I was twelve and ever since then, Margot has been a tragic name for me. Poor Margot!
labelo Says:
Love the lists, but no idea where the name information comes from sometimes. The Story of Susannah and the elders is not a New Testament story, it's part the book of Daniel (found in the Old Testament) and considered apocryphal by Protestants.
LadyCap Says:
Harriet and Cordelia are both personal favorites of mine.
jame1881 Says:
Yay Louisa and Mercy! Mercy's been in and out of my lists for a while, but I think I'm really warming up to it as a future possibility. It sounds so pretty; much prettier than Hope or Faith but with the same lovely (and obvious) meaning.
Pam Says:
labelo, there was a phrase left out of Susannah entry that combined the Old Testament and New Testament figures with this name. Fixed now.
Trillium Says:
My top two are in this list *yikes* Pam please say they'll stay just a little obscure
campash Says:
I love this list! I have a 22-month old Susanna; other front runners for her name were Louisa, Marian, Lucinda, and Petra! These names are delicious.
Jamesina66 Says:
Love a lot of these names, but Louisa, Cordelia, Marion (this spelling is my preference), and Susannah inparticular. I do like Sanna as a nickname, but am partial to Sukey though I am sure Sukiyaki would be a problem.
norskelove Says:
I love just about every name on this list! I would have loved to use Susanna (I also considered Sanna as a stand alone name)….it is gorgeous! I also liked Mabel and Marian, but couldn't convince my husband so we settled on Maren. The name Antonia is one I have never considered, but it is beautiful and strong. India nn Indi is adorable, I have a friend who may use it. I could comment on all of them, they are all wonderful names……great list!
namesage Says:
Antonia, Aurelia, Clementine, Cordelia, Louisa, Mercy…all on my list. Spending so much time on Nameberry has skewed my perspective, I believe. I see these names so often in the forums that in my mind I have been starting to think they are "over-used"!
ottilie Says:
Oh, I love Marian and Marion. So beautiful.
encore Says:
I love these names!
norskelove Says:
namesage — I totally agree with you! I see some of these names quite often here on nameberry, so they do start feeling "too popular" or "over-used"
But then I run them by friends and family, and they look at me like I have three heads, LOL! Most of my vintage favorites get poor reception with people outside of nameberry, so it is nice to see all the love for them here.
A few more vintage favorites of mine: Frances, Delphine, Henrietta and Martha. Lois and Mavis are growing on me, too.
OhLuna Says:
namesage & norskelove – I've had the same experiences as well!
Aurelia has been one of my favorites for a long time, as has Mercy. Antonia has been growing on me for years, and is now one of my GP names. (I know Antonia is a well known name, but since it usually doesn't fit with my naming style, I consider it a GP for myself!)
I also love that Marcella is mentioned on here – the Mars connection is great
auroradawn Says:
I like most of these and agree with the previous posters who've said some of them have begun to feel "too popular," since they're such Nameberry favorites! It's good to step back for a moment and realize they're not overused at all.
My mom recently met a man named Gartley, nn Gart, and since she knows I'm a name nut she asked about his name (it's a family name derived from a Scottish town. How cool is that?) He has two kids, 5 and 3 years old, so my mom went on to ask about their names: Leland and Margo. Wow! I was impressed. They are also both family names.
edenlyla13 Says:
Louisa, Lucinda nn Lucia, and Susannah are some of my favourites
maggiemary Says:
I love Harriet, Margo, Mabel, Clementine, Cordelia and Aurelia.
Aurra Says:
I have a thirteen year old friend named Mabel, and it was the first time I've ever heard the name. Instead of an old lady feel, I think of the spunky and quirky girl who made a secret handshake with a statue.
Marcella also reminds me of a girl I know, age fifteen, who fits her name perfectly. She's a class clown who is quite smart.
Susannah is on my short list. It embodies everything I want in a name: easily pronouncable, tons of nicknames (Sunni is my current fav), well known but rare with a classic pedigree and Biblical link.

Since I have a daughter named Harriet, I am clearly biased in its favor! I also have a Miriam, which is similar to Marion. We debated between the two. Love these names!! I would seriously consider many of them, but Mercy would be my top pick from this list. So beautiful. So reminiscent of The Witch of Blackbird Pond.
StrixOniro Says:
I love Harriet and Margot. I also think of Margot Frank, Anne Frank's older sister.
WaltzingMoreThanMatilda Says:
Fantastic choices!
If you live in certain name-nerd friendly areas though, I don't expect you would get to keep many of these as your secret for long though.
Beautiful_Haiku Says:
There are some good choices here… Susannah, Marcella, Aurelia, Antonia, Cordelia…
But, for the life of me, I can never imagine a girl named Harriet!! Not in the US at least… unless she lived in the Upper East Side.
bigsweater Says:
I have a daughter named Susannah Augusta and an daughter named Caroline Cordelia. She named her daughter Cordelia, and if Susannah has a girl she will name her Augusta.
Netta5187 Says:
Antonia is on my list! Glad to see it on this post. I also really like Lucinda, a variation of my mother's name Cindy, as well as Susannah and louisa. I'm surprised they're not on the top 1000!
CatPai Says:
Love Marian! Was planning on naming one of my twins Marianne but might just shorten it down to Marian….too bad hubby veto'd Margot, though. How cute would Marian and Margot be!?
Pam Says:
Marian and Margot are very cute! But so many great M names if you want matching initials — how about Marian and Marguerite?
southern.maple Says:
I absolutely adore India, but there seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding it. I would like to see Pam and Linda (or a guest blogger) address it in a blog post.
KarahL Says:
I do like a lot of these names but I can definitely understand why some of them have fallen out of style. As much as I like the name Harriet, I think a lot of people just don't want their little girl to have the word "hairy" in her name. I love Margot.
thompssn Says:
I have a sweet, sweet little Cordelia. If that name hadn't been "the one", Clementine would have been in the top three choices. I had a Great-Aunt Clemmie, who passed away during my pregnancy, at 100 years old. I'd have pushed hard for it, if she hadn't already been Cordelia in both of our hearts and minds.
1here1ontheway Says:
Definately, not a list for me. I do not know what the push for Clementine is about.
Katespitty Says:
I had a baby girl on Wednesday and named her Mabel :0)
Jinxgirl Says:
India, Cordelia, Susannah, and Antonia are all on my list!
rgp19 Says:
I love Louisa, it has such a classy feel to it. And I just found out that it is a family name, so I might have to add it to my list. I am surprised that Susanna isn't in the top 1000 anymore.
lisar Says:
I love this list! I have a baby girl named Harriet, so obviously we love that one. Mabel, Clementine and Cordelia are favorites too. I have thought about using Marion after my grandmother, and if I have another girl it will be on my short list for sure.
wickedjr89 Says:
I think some are ok but not so much. The only one I like is Cordelia. I could see using Cordelia.

As someone who relies on nexpro (a generic version of nexium here in India), I was kinda shocked to see this. I've consulted with some of the leading gastro docs here and they all told me that it's ok to stay on the drug for the long term. This thing about 3 courses being the maximum for an year is quite new indeed. Thanks for flagging it.
best, Adi

Adi, thanks for commenting. You should follow your doctor's advice, not that of a stranger on the Internet. Some sources do suggest frequent trials off PPIs as many people find they do not require continuous therapy. Also, don't forget lifestyle modifications.

Culled from the Campagna
Verde Montagne offers products grown under the Tuscan sun
David M. Huff
Local food is irreplaceable, but sometimes even the most passionate advocate of "eating where you live" feels a temptation to taste someone else's terroir. With the price of jet fuel hitting all-time highs, the cheapest way to travel is through the taste buds — by sampling ale brewed in an ancient Belgian monastery, or dreaming of the desert while sprinkling hand-ground African spice blends into a stew. Or basting a roasting chicken with the freshest cold-pressed olive oil from a small farm.
Providing such authentic — i.e., artisanal, small-batch — imported foods from Italy is the raison d'être of Verde Montagne Imports & Travel. In a converted house in Shelburne, up a narrow, creaky flight of stairs above Ink. Ink. Fine Stationery, a little slice of "the boot" awaits. Unlike larger importers, Verde Montagne, which opened here in early July, uses just one source. It offers a small but impeccable selection of products from a single, organic-certified Italian farm, inn and restaurant — Fattoria Lischeto — located just outside the Tuscan town of Volterra. The family-run farm operates on renewable energy, working on the principle that healthy land, healthy animals and healthy people are inextricably connected.
And owner David M. Huff, 30, can tell you all about it. He got to know Fattoria Lischeto and its second-generation owner, Giovanni Cannas, through his father, G.M. Huff, who organizes group trips to Italy. After discovering the farm nearly 10 years ago, the elder Huff began including it as a stop on his customized tours. "He was absolutely blown away by the quality of food and the service," his son recalls. "[Cannas] brings them in, shows them the cheese, and cooks for them. It's a real hands-on experience." But it's luxurious, too. The rustic, renovated farmhouse boasts an in-ground swimming pool, terraces overlooking rolling hillsides and outdoor casks used for skin-nourishing milk baths.
The small Shelburne outlet for Fattoria Lischeto's products is tidy and organized, furnished with a combination of modern wood shelving units and a few antique desks and tables. The walls bear owner Huff's accomplished photographs, taken during his extensive travels in Italy. There are shots of the countryside, the Coliseum and boats in Venetian canals.
On one set of shelves, deep-green bottles of unfiltered, estate-bottled olive oil stand in serene rows. Samples come from a cruet filled with the thick liquid. Nearby sit jars of viscous golden honey in two varieties — acacia and wildflower. On an antique table, half-wheels of various Pecorino cheeses rest under glass domes beside clusters of grapes, looking like still-lifes in a museum. Finally, non-edible cosmetics boast some of the same ingredients as the food. Soap, lotion and "body shampoo" get their rich texture from olive oil and sheep's milk, scented with natural fragrances.
Customers can sample any of the artisan offerings, including slices of cheese cut from fresh wedges kept refrigerated in the back room, before they opt to buy. "I have a tremendous amount of confidence that once people try the products they'll be coming back in the door," Huff says. While a taste of organic Tuscany isn't exactly a bargain — a half-liter of olive oil costs $18.95, and the cheeses range from $19 to $22 dollars a pound — the prices don't seem unreasonable, either. "To be honest with you," Huff explains, "they're a couple of dollars below market value. I choose to make less of a profit margin."
Looking relaxed and tan, Huff appears almost too young to be the owner of a high-end retail storefront as well as a budding wholesale distribution biz, called DM Huff Organics. But he can talk the talk. "I am my own distributor," he says, "and that translates into price and quality for the consumer. When products come right from the source to the shelf and there's no middle man, everybody benefits."
Huff inherited his business sense from his dad and his grandfather, who owned a shipping company. With a history degree from the University of Kentucky and some work for his father under his belt, Huff decided to follow his entrepreneurial instincts and launch his own company. He pulled it off with the help of an inheritance and savings from his twenties. "The independence of working for yourself and the way [my father and grandfather] ran things made me want to do the same thing," Huff explains. Why formaggio? "I'm passionate about traveling, and I really love food."
Huff's business comprises two distinct branches. Via DM Huff Organics, he supplies Fattoria Lischeto's cosmetics and comestibles to grocery stores and restaurants, mainly in his native New Jersey. He calls this the heart of his operation, and hopes to eventually expand it nationwide: "The idea is to stretch ourselves across the United States, from New York to L.A." But no matter how big his business gets, Huff emphasizes, he plans to keep its home base in Vermont. Not for nothing did he name his business the Italian version of "green mountain."
During childhood visits to his family's vacation home in Chester, Huff relates, "I absolutely fell in love with the state. After college, I was convinced that I was going to move somewhere in Vermont, and I felt that the Burlington area had everything I wanted." Now, when he's not infiltrating markets around the nation, Huff is offering his premium products to the community he's chosen as his home.
Because Huff holds an exclusive agreement to carry the Italian farm's creations in New England, Verde Montagne is the only place in the region to try the pungent Pecorino Rosso, rubbed with a mixture of farm-grown-tomato paste and olive oil. Or the fresh-tasting baked ricotta, which is sublimely drizzled with fragrant, perfumed wildflower honey.
When a couple of customers wander in — a Charlotte woman and her college-aged daughter, fresh from a year-long stint in Italy — Huff offers to slice some bread so they can try the oil. "That's really good olive oil," mom Irene Horbar raves. And these two are connoisseurs: Horbar says a childhood visit to an Italian oil press sparked her daughter Marie's fascination with the culture. "We order olive oil from California," she tells Huff. "Your product is so amazing, I'd pay anything for it."
That's just the sort of response Huff is hoping for, as he seeks a gourmet-minded clientele. Right now, he sells some award-winning ricotta to the Shelburne Supermarket, and he hopes to expand into stores such as City Market and Healthy Living, as well as restaurants with fine cheese lists. So far, Huff hasn't engaged in any "aggressive marketing" in the area, he says, and he doesn't see his wares as rivals to local organic products. "I really respect the whole 'eat local' thing, and I think the Vermont Fresh Network is great — I'm not looking to compete with that at all," he assures. "There's nobody who makes Pecorino cheese or baked ricotta in Vermont."
The way he sees it, his goal is simple: to provide distinctive products to a community with a deep appreciation for delicious food stuffs and for the care and thought that goes into everything Fattoria Lischeto produces. But to get locals talking about Tomini al Farro, a cheese studded with wheat groats, or Pecorino Balze Volterrano, which is coated in ash and olive oil and aged for 60 days, Huff must first get them in the door. And he's the first to admit that his second-floor location is a deterrent. "They can't see into it. It's a challenge to get people to come into a space they can't see," he says. But Huff quickly admits he likes challenges: "I think they're fun. Why make it easy?"
Another hurdle: the language barrier between him and his sole supplier. "[Cannas'] English is a little challenging; my Italian is a little challenging," Huff says with a sigh. "It's a learning curve." But if he sometimes has trouble making himself understood overseas, the tastes of wildflower honey and straw-colored, nutty Pecorino Maschio speak for themselves.

See the Glossary for more terms.
New funding decisions are good news for many NIAID applicants.
We are raising the FY 2009 R01 payline for new and early-stage investigators (ESI) to the 25 percentile to enable us to reach NIH targets. These awards will be for four or five years and funded from our regular appropriation.
Also see our new FY 2009 paylines for fellowships and career awards. Find all paylines at Paylines and Funding.
For funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), see Funding Range for ARRA Awards on How NIAID Will Use the Stimulus Money.
Other R01 Investigators
(Editor's note—article updated with new information on April 16, 2009. Go to Financial Management Plan for current information.)
Please note—this section does not apply to new PIs or ESIs.
You may recall that in our last issue we announced that we would not have R56-Bridge awards. We have changed that decision to help applicants who have better scores and can resubmit.
Percentile to 12. We will fund applications that rank at or below the 12 percentile payline with our FY 2009 appropriated dollars for the requested length of the award.
Percentile 12 to 25. You will be in one of two categories. You must qualify for ARRA funding to get an ARRA award—see Eligibility and Selection for NIAID's ARRA Funds.
Though NIAID is spending most of its stimulus money on applications already submitted, PIs also have opportunities to apply for ARRA funds.
We've created a tool that lets you quickly discern which opportunities NIAID is participating in—go to NIAID Participation in NIH ARRA Opportunities.
Keep in mind that if you list NIAID as the primary institute for an opportunity we are not participating in, your application may not be reviewed. Based on referral guidelines, the Center for Scientific Review will assign it to another institute, which may not accept the assignment.
Thinking of applying for an NIH ARRA Challenge Grant? Act fast: applications are due on April 27. Challenge Grants are unique opportunities to receive up to $500,000 a year in total costs for two years.
They're on a fast track: peer review takes place in June or July, Council review in August, and awards in September or October this year.
Keep in mind that many of the topics are broad and appropriate for a variety of research projects. If you are interested in applying, discuss your topic with your program officer to see if it fits the goals of the program.
Be sure your application excites reviewers by proposing research that fills knowledge gaps, explores scientific opportunities, or creates new technologies, data, or methods that would quickly and significantly advance the field.
Can you use an existing investigator-initiated application? Yes. And the converse is true too—read the information in the box below.
If you submit a Challenge Grant application and do not succeed, you can submit the exact same application for an investigator-initiated R01, R21, or small business award (SBIR or STTR). Here's how:
This policy, as well as the converse, is standard NIH practice. See May I resubmit as investigator-initiated an application not funded under an RFA? and May I respond to an RFA if my investigator-initiated application was not funded?
For more information, see the NIH Challenge Grants RFA and our Challenge Topics for NIAID.
We're seeing a lot of interest in Recovery Act-funded grant supplements, which add money to an existing grant. Keep in mind that our approach is narrower than the one NIH spells out in its Guide notices.
Administrative supplements. Unlike many institutes, we are using most of our ARRA monies to fund meritorious applications that already underwent peer review rather than supplement existing grants.
Also note that our application process differs somewhat from NIH's, so if you decide to apply for an administrative supplement, read the information on our site—NIAID Supplements Through the Economic Recovery Act and the new Details on NIAID's ARRA Administrative Supplements.
Normally, we don't allow administrative supplements during the last year of the grant or during a no-cost extension, but we are waiving that restriction for ARRA. See the question below, Can I get an ARRA award to extend my grant?
Competing supplements (revisions). NIAID accepts eligible applications only under the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) Competitive Revision Applications program, which is part of the NIH-wide competing supplement notice NOT-OD-09-058.
We are not reviewing applications for other ARRA competing supplements, even those responding to that notice.
For NIAID instructions, eligibility, and other information, go to Details on NIAID's ARRA Competing Supplements.
Now you can receive email updates whenever we post changes to our Recent Changes to the NIAID and the Economic Recovery Act Section. Because the emails are based on revisions to this page, you will be notified for significant changes only. Go to Subscribe to get on board.
For this section, we're using a new subscription service called GovDelivery. As you sign up, you'll see a subscription center that differs from the one we use for other alerts. We will eventually use GovDelivery, which should be more reliable, for all our alerts.
Here are some of the new tools on our ARRA site:
If you're puzzled by ARRA, look for answers in our Recovery Act Questions and Answers for NIAID Investigators. If your question is not there, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll reply promptly.
Here are some commonly asked questions we've recently received.
Though NIAID is funding a limited number of administrative supplements, you may qualify for additional funds, but we cannot use ARRA money to extend grants.
You can request an ARRA administrative supplement during a no-cost extension, but your grant has to be active at the time of the supplement award. A no-cost extension will not be processed earlier than 90 days before the end of your project.
When requesting an extension, keep in mind that you must have enough time to get meaningful results during the funding period.
Yes. Even though we announced funding using investigator-initiated paylines, we are also funding (at comparable scores) applications that respond to requests for applications.
Yes. For example, NIAID is not participating in the Grand Opportunities grants announced in the March 20, 2009, Guide notice. And under the NIH-wide competing supplement notice NOT-OD-09-058, NIAID is accepting applications under the NCRR Competitive Revision Applications program only.
For a quick reference, you can see a list of all NIH opportunities that we are and are not participating in at NIAID Participation in NIH ARRA Opportunities. We expect more opportunity announcements to come, so stay in touch.
How are new investigators and early-stage investigators affected by two-year R01 grants?
For NIAID, new and ESIs will typically not be affected by the two-year awards. See the New Investigators section of Opportunities for NIAID Applicants.
No. All applications submitted for FY 2009 funding are already here, even though there are more receipt dates this fiscal year. Anything submitted from now on will be for funding next fiscal year.
As explained on the NIAID Paylines page, the FY 2009 paylines are for applications reviewed for the September 2008, January 2009, and May 2009 Council meetings.
Are there restrictions on the amount a PI can request for equipment?
Yes. In general, you have a $100,000 equipment limit when using ARRA funds. However, your request may exceed $100,000 if you are the only PI who will use it and you fully justify your request.
For larger requests, look to the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). See the Equipment section of the Opportunities for NIAID Applicants page.
No. You cannot revise and resubmit an ARRA grant. But if you submit a renewal to an ARRA grant early and get a fundable score, we can terminate the two-year award early. This is a departure from our normal policy.
For high-quality applications that score beyond the payline, we plan to have a regular (not ARRA) R56-Bridge program for FY 2010. We can't predict NIAID Paylines for next year; they may very well be different.
You're right, September 2010 is not two years away. That deadline is for NIAID to spend the money. The grantee has additional time.
We have some good news and not-so-good news regarding Grants.gov's capacity to handle the influx of submissions stemming from the Recovery Act. You may have read or heard concerns about the system being overloaded.
First, the good news: NIH's Office of Extramural Research is working to shore up Grants.gov so investigators aren't shut out.
That said, most investigators who want stimulus money from NIAID won't be affected by backups. The bulk of our awards go to investigators who applied for funding in FY 2008 and FY 2009 but didn't receive it. These applications are already in the system.
On the flip side, here's the not-so-good news. For new submissions, we must use Grants.gov. There is a silver lining: you won't be penalized for a system failure as long as you document the problem and contact the Grants.gov Contact Center.
For more information, see NIH's Having Problems with Your Application Submission?
If you're about to publish a newsworthy discovery, notify our Office of Communications and Government Relations (OCGR).
Our staff can get coverage from major news outlets and national publications by preparing news releases and coordinating media inquiries.
Call as soon as your article is accepted for publication, so we can determine how to best highlight your findings and field questions from the press. Read more in our Requesting NIAID's Help on Publicizing Research Advances SOP.
Knowing what happens to your application once it goes to peer review can help you prepare.
You can watch two new videos about changes to the NIH peer review system at Training & Communications Resources:
These videos serve as supplements to the materials on the Enhancing Peer Review site.
Are you a U.S. grantee with foreign subcomponents who is trying to navigate NIH grant waters? NIAID is hosting a grants policy workshop to help you sail through.
Learn about grants and funding policies, and get resources and tips to help manage your award.
Training takes place in Miami, Florida, on April 21 to 23, 2009. To register, go to the NIAID Grants Policy and Management Training registration page; find other information at Upcoming NIH Grants Policy and Management Training Workshops.
Many of you who are seeking funding from us may also turn to the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Like NIH, NSF has set policies for spending its $3 billion in ARRA monies:
For further details, including how much NSF is allocating to its programs, read Important Notice 131 at NSF Information Related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Feel free to send us a question at email@example.com. After responding to you, we may include your question in the newsletter, incorporate it into the NIAID Research Funding site, or both.
"For a diversity supplement, can we add fringe benefits to the $50,000 salary cap for postdocs and faculty or does the cap include fringe benefits?"—Antoinette Beasley, University of Pittsburgh
The latter—the $50,000 includes both salary and fringe benefits. For more information, see the Diversity Supplement Program Announcement.
If you have additional questions, contact the person listed on our Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research page.
"I heard NIAID would be funding R01s to the 25 percentile—but NIAID Paylines says the R01 payline is the 12 percentile. Which is correct?"—Elaine Young, University of Florida College of Medicine
The 12 percentile is for R01s funded through our regular FY 2009 appropriation.
The 25 percentile applies to R01s eligible for funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), a different pot of money. ARRA levels are listed on Funding Range for ARRA Awards on How NIAID Will Use the Stimulus Money.
You may want to read Don't Confuse Stimulus Money With Our FY 2009 Budget for more information.
