The Eurocopter X3 ("X cube") compound helicopter demonstrator is to appear for the first time in public next week at the Paris Air Show. Jean-Michel Billig, the company's executive v-p for research and development, promised late last month that F-ZXXX will impress showgoers with its maneuverability, just like the military Tiger wowed them in the 1990s when it began performing loops. "At Le Bourget, you will see a flying display no other helicopter can offer," he told AIN. "I am not only talking about high speeds." During the second flight-test campaign, which started in May, the X3 demonstrated a rate of climb greater than 5,000 fpm. It made turns with 80 degrees of bank angle, and reached a top speed of 232 ktas on May 12. A modified AS365 Dauphin with a conventional main rotor, two propellers on stub wings and a conventional empennage, the X3 is targeted at demonstrating that 220 knots is an economical sweet spot operationally.

Kinect Hacked for Comic Book Onomatopoeia Action [Video]
While it's cringe-worthy to do so in almost every other instance, Maya Irvine, Emily Schwartzman, Ward Penney and Mark Shuster's Kinect hack makes a blogger want to incorporate "Bam! Pow!" into their headline to describe the team's industrious use of motion gaming technology. Check out how this group of Carnegie Mellon University students turned the Xbox 360's latest advancement into a classic Batman TV show sound effect generator for their Interactive Art and Computational Design course after the jump.Over at their project blog, the team outlines the core components of a "comic book" sound effect as optimized for video. Using Invincible, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Wolverine and more as examples, they narrowed down their desired aesthetic for their hack's visual onomonopia. Additionally, they reference the cinematic A Scanner Darkly for their more limited, but equally ambitious visual effect of turning Kinect users into characters who appear drawn courtesy of outlined, "illustrated" figures.
The team says it still has several challenges to work out for a more visually pleasing hack, but considering the dark technosorcery they've overcome to make this video, I think they've done a pretty admirable job thus far.

by Kayla Hedman '14 / Champlain College News
In the days leading up to graduation, in honor of the Class of 2014, here are 14 fun ways to show kindness to those who have made attending Champlain College possible. These gifts of gratitude are also great ideas for underclassmen to share with those who made a positive impact on this academic year.
Professors and mentors really appreciate thank you notes or gifts in any form. If you look forward to future recommendation, giving them a gift to remember you by is a great tactic!
Champlain Swag. Gifts from bookstore are sure to please! Champlain College mugs, pennants, and apparel will please any family member or high school guidance counselor that helped you get where you are today.
Phone a friend. Support your friend's craftiness and throw them a few bucks for a one-of-a-kind graphic print. Senior marketing major Kate Young has a knack for integrating maps and photos to create custom collages. You can buy one of your own for $15 at her Etsy shop, ASoulOfPaper.
Localvore. Although the Burlington Farmers' Market does not resume until May (no April markets), there are plenty of local shops and vendors still available to sell you their great artisan crafts, homemade candles, and more. Many local shops and cafes also feature paintings and illustrations from local artists; the small prints can be affordable and make great gifts.
Snail Mail. Buy handmade greeting cards to send or hand-deliver from local illustrators like PsychicPaper on Etsy.
C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E. Another thoughtful local gift is chocolate from Lake Champlain Chocolates! Visit their storefront on Church Street or the factory on Pine Street for some truffles or turtles!
Thanks, honey! Champlain's apiary, a gift from the class of 2013, produced some delicious honey last year! Unfortunately last year's batch is sold out, but look out for it next fall and stock up! There are other great local honeys available to buy at City Market and Healthy Living.
Fill a mug! Picked up a Champlain mug from the bookstore but feel it's a little uninspired? Fill it up with Hershey's Kisses, hot cocoa, tea, or other goodies.
Cute Cupcakes. There are a lot of local places that make decadent mini-cupcakes. Check out My Little Cupcake, or if you're looking for something gluten-free or vegan friendly, visit New Moon Cafe on Cherry Street.
Make something custom with 3D printing! A gift from the Champlain College Maker Lab, Burlington's new Generator maker space on Main Street, or Blu-Bin on Church Street offer a variety of 3D printing options and more.
A little goes a long way. Ask a graphic design friend to help make a custom designed photo card; relatives that you don't see often would love to see what you're doing. Even make signs that give an individual shout-out, like "Thanks Mom!" There are plenty of picturesque spots on campus to take the photo from. May I suggest the third floor balcony in the Miller Information Commons? This can also make a great little 'thank you' video. Have a filmmaking student help you out, or simply shoot a 15-second video to share on Instagram.
Baked goods. Ask a friend who lives in Spinner, Quarry, or off-campus to use their oven and bake cookies or other baked goods for a fraction of the cost of buying them. You'll be able to gift more cookies when you make an entire batch. Better yet – you get to sneak tastes of batter.
April showers bring May flowers. Select a flower arrangement at The Bloomin' Dragonfly Florist on Main Street or Kathy & Company Florist on Colchester Avenue. Want something more lasting than a bouquet? Consider building a terrarium with succulents. Wishing someone luck? If you want to grab a fellow graduate a gift, consider a bamboo plant. It represents luck and is the ideal plant for someone with no green thumb.
Upcycle. When trotting around local shops like Barge Canal Market, look for postcards, picture books, lonely board game pieces, or obsolete cassette tapes that could be turned into something else. Do some decoupage paper crafts to make custom magnets, light switch plates, etc. Let your imagination run wild. Not feeling creative? Visit Trinket on Church Street and check out upcycled crafts made by Recycle Moe. (http://www.recyclemoe.com/www.recyclemoe.com/stores.html) (http://trinket-vermont.com)
YES SUMMER! Grab a bottle of organic lemonade, a couple fun straws, a bow, and a note card that reads, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Thank you for supporting my college career! I did it!"
Any other creative ideas you can think of? Let us know in the comments.

Today, the latest trailer for White Knight Chronicles: Dogma Wars for the PlayStation Portable was unleashed and as expected, I'm not excited. While the title did very well in Japan and a lot of gamers found it a great play through, I just couldn't get into it. Judging by the PSP trailer for Dogma Wars, it looks like it's going to be a lot more of the same. This is obviously fantastic news for fans of the series, but for those of you looking for change or something to build on — you'll have to keep waiting.
Check out the trailer below.

Food Storage Essentials: Food storage gifts that make a difference
Allen#2 WEST VALLEY CITY, UTDec. 2, 2011 8:57 a.m.
I agree that it is a good idea to give food storage items that the recipient LIKES.
However, I do not like gift certificates of any type which require going to a pre-determined store to redeem the certificate. Instead of a gift certificate, give money and let the recipient decide where to shop.

"WANTED: Boy or girl with a full face of hair."
That's the extraordinary job advert that has gone up in Job Centres across Wales as Welshman John Hayes brings his Circus of Horrors back to the land of his birth.
The self-styled "Dr Haze" wants to bring his bona-fide wolf boy Jesus Aceves over to the UK from Mexico.
But first he must advertise the job here – in case there are any Brits who can match Jesus' extraordinary 60,000 facial hairs covering his face all the way up to his hairline.
Jesus has a rare condition called hypertrichosis – also called werewolf syndrome as it causes large amounts of hair to grow across the body.
Dr Haze's circus is touring the UK from the end of the month after reaching the Britain's Got Talent finals in 2011.
"Its a strange state of affairs, we are pretty sure there are not any wolf boys or girls in the UK, but we still have to advertise the job over here," said Dr Haze.
The Circus of Horrors performs at Cardiff 's New Theatre from Thursday, January 31, to Saturday, February 2.

Ratings for Dr. James Utic
Challenged me when I needed it and was compassionate when the situation called for it. Not a cheerleader like many therapist and accurately diagnosed my condition, when others had not. I'm sure there are other qualified professionals, but he's been very effective and recommend Dr. Utic without hesitation.
While undergoing treatment for cancer, I turned to Dr. Utic to help me deal with the mental anguish brought on by the disease. Dr. Utic is down-to-earth, a good listener who is easy to talk with and provides excellent insights and feedback. He has helped me to find emotional and spiritual peace while bringing my emotional distress under control. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Utic and I highly recommend him.
He is not very open and maintains preconceived ideas. He made diagnosis about me which were refuted by ever other therapist. Completely incompetent.
I was very helped by this doctor and he was one of the best.
Very knowledgeable and accepting. He is the most straight forward therapist I have seen; he cuts through the bull and works with you on what is really causing the problem. I would highly recommend him. However, he does not have a secretary, You have to leave him a voicemail to set up the initial appointment. after the first one, he makes appointments with you at the end of session. It is worth it though if you really want to feel better.

Charles Edelstenne, former CEO of Dassault Aviation, was designated the successor of Serge Dassault last week. The general assembly of Dassault Aviation's parent company, Groupe Industriel Marcel Dassault, voted unanimously for the creation of a "succeeding statutory president" position. Edelstenne, 76, will thus automatically succeed Dassault, 89, in case the groups presidency is "vacant, for whatever reason," the firm said.

SPANISH POLICE SEIZED cocaine in an undersea smuggling operation off the coast of Valencia.
Officials found 900 kilos of cocaine hidden inside 37 floating backpacks.
The bags were fitted with a tracking and flotation device, that kept them below the water's surface but prevented them from sinking.
Police said the packs were used to smuggle the drugs along the Mediterranean coast to southern Spain, which is a popular spot for tourists.
Five arrests were made.
Police also netted cash about €70,000, three vehicles and a boat.
Jewellery and luxury watches were also impounded.

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Pastors from metro Detroit joined Promise Keepers Thursday, Aug. 22, to lead the "Reviving Detroit Summit" in downtown Detroit. The event focused on racial reconciliation and addressed some of Detroit's toughest economic and social challenges. Almost 40 pastors joined a rabbi and other Detroit spiritual leaders for the daylong dialogue.
Thursday's summit builds upon the National Reconciliation and Relationship Initiative launched on July 31 by Sanford, Fla., pastors. Dozens of African-American and white pastors from Sanford held a dialogue to heal racial divisions caused by the death of Trayvon Martin and the not-guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.
Sanford pastors signed the Sanford Declaration, a spiritual covenant that affirms their strong faith that God will bless their racial reconciliation efforts and that He will inspire a national conversation to unite Americans. They are urging Christian leaders across America to launch similar forums. You can sign the Sanford Declaration at sanforddeclaration.org.
Detroit is the second of several cities across America to join the National Reconciliation and Relationship Initiative. Dr. Raleigh Washington, president and CEO of Promise Keepers, addressed the forums in Sanford and Detroit.
Washington praised pastors for their reconciliation efforts and encouraged them to keep working.
He said, "It is relationship. You have to have genuine relationships across racial lines to understand one another. Continue to strengthen the relationships that you have started having across race and culture. You've got to continue to swap pulpits. You've got to continue to do things together."
Pastor Derrick Gay, of Dominion Church International in Sanford, was the keynote speaker for the "Reviving Detroit Summit" and is leading the National Reconciliation and Relationship Initiative. He addressed his fellow clergymen at the Hotel St. Regis in downtown Detroit.
"Reconciliation is a key that God has placed in the hand of the church and its leadership. If we do not utilize this key, then we'll never see the sickness of racism healed and our cities made whole," he said.

I recently came across an article on GreenBiz that discusses how to drive greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in the supply chain and strategies that can help advance companies GHG management goals. Below I have summarized the key strategies that are discussed in the article. To read the full article click here.
There are several challenges that companies face when assessing emissions across their value chains. Most companies are aware that value chains can offer the largest opportunities for emission reductions, but are unsure of where to start. Assessing GHG emissions across the entire value chain is essential for any business that is serious about reducing its impact on climate change.
Here are four strategies that can help advance companies' GHG management goals:
- Assess the entire value chain– Although companies are becoming aware that their emissions go well beyond their own operations, measuring those emissions across the value chain is still new territory. In October 2011, the Greenhouse gas protocol launched their corporate value chain (scope 3) standard, which was the first comprehensive standard for measuring and reporting emissions for an entire corporate value chain. The new standard separates emissions into 15 categories which provide a helpful framework for companies to engage suppliers, manage emissions and communicate results. Categorizing emissions in this way enables companies to focus on the activities in the value chain that offer the biggest opportunities for GHG reductions. On average, scope 3 emissions account for 80% of a company's total emissions.
- Move beyond disclosure to set targets and achieve GHG reductions- The crucial first step in reducing your emissions is to conduct a full assessment of your companies' value chain, as it identifies areas with the greatest emissions and enables a company to focus their resources in areas with greater opportunity for reductions. Next, companies should use this information to set targets and realize actual reductions in their GHG emissions. This can be very difficult and there's no single solution or guide on how to set your targets, but the scope 3 standards can be used to help generate more ideas, and disclosure programs can begin to push members in the right direction.
- Increase supply chain engagement and cooperation- Engaging with suppliers is one of the best ways to achieve GHG emission reductions. Companies in the early stages of engaging with suppliers are already seeing benefits. In 2011, the Carbon Disclosure project (CDP) supply chain program collected data from 1,864 suppliers. A third of respondents said they have benefited from new revenue streams and financial savings as a result of their suppliers carbon reduction activities. Some of the benefits that are being achieved from effectively engaging with suppliers include new revenue streams, improved supply chain efficiency, reduced risk of suppliers increasing costs, reduced risk of supply chain business interruption and improved relationships with suppliers. To see the main results of the CDP's 2012 supply chain survey click here.
- Innovation- Taking that next step beyond best practice involves innovation. As companies begin to understand the importance of greenhouse gas emissions and their relevance for the whole value chain, there will be opportunities for creative thinking around the best ways to realign business models to a low-carbon economy.
Leadership and innovation is crucial to make real progress on combating climate change. Corporate action is this arena makes good business sense as it often leads to opportunities to bolster your bottom line, reduce your risk, and discover competitive advantages.

Game of Thrones Season 2 doesn't start until April 1. That bit of info is old news. But you know what is new? These awesome pictures that HBO released today! Okay, so it's not as great as the entire Season 2 Blu-ray set landing in your lap, but if you print out all these pictures out, you can make a flipbook and create your own version of Season 2!
Here's Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) looking quite handsome with her boy haircut! Her motif appears to "brown on top of browner brown with a splash of brown." Translation: Maybe she'll have some good times in Season 3?
I don't know what's more impressive, the way this desolate backdrop evokes the struggle and long road ahead of the Dragon Blood princess, or the fact that I didn't have to look up Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) name to know how to spell it.
Ladies! It's Kit Harrington as Jon Snow! Thank me later! I'm more of a Jaime Lannister groupie, myself.
I know a lot of you probably hate Joffrey Baratheon-Lannister (Jack Gleeson), but as a person with an unusual condition that makes me like jerks with no redeeming qualities, I happen to take a shine to the kid. Hey, it's not like he did anything bad to ME. Cut him some slack!
For the uninitiated, Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) is a smuggler who rose from the slums of King's Landing. You'll meet him for the first time this season. And he has the most adorable little nickname: The Onion Knight! Is it because he has many layers? Is it because when you cut him you cry? Or is it because of his Westeros-famous onion dip recipe? Find out in Season 2 of Game of Thrones!
Dany again. She's tired because she spent all afternoon making tents out of burlap potato sacks.
OH MY GOD. That's Melisandre (Carice van Houten) on the left. She'll stir up conflict deep within your soul when your sexual attraction to redheads clashes with your hatred of total bitches. On the right is Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane), the younger brother of Robert. I'm sure he's totally cool with his king brother being dead and the Iron Throne going to his blonde bastard kid. Time for a round of golf!
I don't want to point out the obvious, but has Renly Baratheon (Gethin Anthony) put on a few L-Bs? He's looking a tad puffy in the face. Too many lemon cakes! It's the Baratheon way: Put on a crown and get fat.
Typical Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner). Crying on her knees, weeping about her daddy being dead. Sheesh, girl, get over it!
No jokes here. I love Robb Stark (Richard Madden). In the books he's okay, but in the TV series? FORGET ABOUT IT! 100-percent awesome.
Here's Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) wearing the Hand of the King pin like a stud. I'm sure Joffrey is going to take all of Tyrion's advice and put a brothel on every corner.
I just can't get over the fact that this is Lily Allen's brother. Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) is another one of my favorite characters. Why do I always like the total A-holes? And why do I sound like a 17-year-old girl? Sweet set, though.
It's CAT-lyn Stark (Michelle Fairley). Not KATE-lyn Stark. She's the Queen of Worrying! And first and foremost on her mind is that everyone pronounce her name correctly.
This handsome chap is Balon Greyjoy (Patrick Malahide), Theon's dad. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but let's just say he's a glum fellow because the ocean air does NOT agree with his hair.
Admit it, if Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) was your sister you'd Jaime her too.
Here's Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) on riding piggyback on Hodor (Kristian Nairn). Sure beats one of those Yoda backpacks, right? Only time will tell whether Hodor will keep his pants on in Season 2.
And finally, the character I'm most excited to meet in Season 2, Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie)! She's like six-and-a-half feet of female muscle and gnarly teeth. What. A. Babe.
Game of Thrones returns for Season 2 on April 1. Which character are you most excited to see?

Noxzema Triple Clean Anti-Bacterial Lathering Cleanser
Noxzema Triple Clean Anti-Bacterial Lathering Cleanser Reviews
very niceI like this cleanser a lot, especially for summer, in winter I don't use it because my skin gets too dry. It cleans well, even removes makeup, it's not as drying as other cleansers, it's inexpensive. The packaging is nice too- lets you get exactly as much product as you need. Also, it has pretty much no smell, which is a huge plus. Definitely recommend. — 6 years, 1 month agovenenumletalis | 176 reviews

Triple Clean Has Really Let Me DownStarting out using this, I really liked it(before I bought the Triple Clean Pads). But after a week of using it, my face began breaking out and becoming verrrrrry red and irritated. I stopped using it, and soon after discovered that I have an allery to Tricloserin, which is the main active ingredient. I obviously won't be repurchasing this! But I really liked the idea of using something other than sacilyc acid, and benzoyl peroxide for acne!! — 6 years, 2 months agolanigaga | 113 reviews

Hallsville knocks Kilgore out of soccer playoffs, 3-2
Brandon Ogden
April 3, 2014 at 11 p.m.
The third time is the charm for the Hallsville Bobcats.
After being shut out twice by Kilgore in the regular season, Hallsville scored three goals on the way to a 3-2 victory in the sectional round of the Class 4A soccer playoffs Thursday night at Pirate Stadium.
Kilgore won District 32-4A and had two 2-0 victories over Hallsville. But on Thursday night, it was the Bobcats' turn. The loss ended a spectacular run for Kilgore, which had advanced to the regional finals in each of the past four seasons.
With 30:37 remaining in the contest, David Martinez headed in a goal on an assist from Joey Ortiz for what turned out to be the game-deciding score.
Kilgore had two shots on goal in the final 10 minutes - attempts by Alexis Torres and Benito Bustos - but Hallsville's Mason Beatty was able to save both attempts. The Bulldogs' final chance came with fewer than 30 seconds left. Torres delivered the ball with a corner kick, and Cristian Pereles attempted a header that veered to the left of the goal.
Hallsville then used one final goal kick to put the ball back in play as time ticked off to help send the Bobcats to the regional quarterfinals for the first time. Hallsville's 1-0 win to open the postseason was the first playoff victory in program history.
The Bobcats opened the scoring when Juan Lopez subbed in to take a corner kick and kicked the ball to Andrew Southard, who headed the ball for an assist to Caleb Hagans to make it 1-0 in the 21st minute.
Kilgore tied the game with a goal from Bustos on a 34-yard free kick. The Bulldogs then took the lead on an unassisted goal by Emmanuel Ceja.
Hallsville didn't back down, though. Less than two minutes later after Kilgore gained the advantage, the Bobcats responded as Jamil Young fired a rocket from 19 yards out to make the score 2-2 heading into halftime.
The Bobcats only had one shot on goal in the second half – the goal from Martinez. Both teams attempted seven shots on goal in the contest.
Hallsville advances to face either Red Oak or Dallas Woodrow Wilson in the next round.

Cessna Citation 550, Butler, Pa., Jan. 24, 2007–The NTSB has released more information about the Citation 550 that ran off the runway while landing at Butler County Airport in Pennsylvania. The copilot was flying the medical flight from the left seat. Aside from a problem with the autopilot's altitude hold, which oscillated around the selected altitude, the ATP-rated pilot and copilot reported normal flight. The airplane was cleared for the ILS approach to Runway 8.
The copilot was hand flying and reported that the approach speed was 106 knots, "a little fast," and she reduced power to slow down. The pilot estimated that they "broke out" of the clouds about two miles from the runway. On rollout, they felt that the airplane was not decelerating, but there was not enough runway remaining to abort.
The airplane rolled off the end of the runway and struck a wooden localizer
antenna platform and the airport fence, coming to rest about 400 feet from the end of the runway. Two people on board were slightly injured, and the airplane was substantially damaged.

Bartender Fired For Alerting Police To Drunken Patron Getting Behind Wheel
A local bartender got fired from her job for calling police and alerting them to a drunken patron who was getting behind the wheel of a vehicle.
Twyla DeVito said she was proud to work at the American Legion Post in Shelby.
"They do a lot of good for this community, for our veterans," DeVito said.
Her tenure at the bar came to an abrupt end last week.
"I came into work, he was already there, pretty much hammered," DeVito said.
DeVito said that the man was a regular at the bar and also served as an officer at the Legion Post.
"He ordered a beer, I gave it to him, and then I started to try to slow it down, serving him," DeVito said.
She said that when he went to leave, she knew he was not in a state to drive.
"I called the police and said, 'We have a very drunk person leaving the bar. He is going to kill someone or himself,'" the former bartender said.
Shelby Police Chief Charlie Roub said that one of his officers quickly located the driver and came to the same conclusion.
According to the police report, Mike Ramey blew a 0.167.
"That's a little over twice the legal limit," Roub said.
Ramey was arrested and charged with drunken-driving.
Two days later, DeVito said that she got a call from her boss.
"He said, 'I'm going to have to fire you, because it's bad for business to have a bartender that will call the cops,'" DeVito said.
The commander of the post would not make a comment to 10TV News on camera but said that while DeVito did the right thing morally, she did not do the right thing for the business.
"If every patron who comes in here has to worry about the cops waiting for them when they leave, the place would be empty," said Mic Hubbard.
Roub said that he was not pleased with that comment.
"Here, we have someone that's trying to do something right and ends up getting punished for it," Roub said.
DeVito said she did what she felt she had to do.
"I stand by what I did, and I would do it again," DeVito said.
According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, there is no law requiring a bartender to report a drunken-driver.
Bartenders are prohibited from serving an intoxicated person and could be held liable for any crash or injury that results, though.

The Jewish Museum in New York to Open MEL BOCHNER: STRONG LANGUAGE, 5/2
From May 2 through September 21, 2014, The Jewish Museum will present Mel Bochner: Strong Language, an in-depth survey of Bochner's career-long fascination with the cerebral and visual associations of words. The exhibition will include over 70 text-based works. Among the highlights are his mid-1960s Portrait Drawings, never before exhibited in New York, and paintings from the last decade using synonyms appropriated from the latest edition of Roget's Thesaurus. Bochner was inspired by the Thesaurus' new permissiveness to broaden his linguistic references juxtaposing vernacular against proper, formal against vulgar, high against low.
A founding figure of the Conceptual Art movement of the 1960s, his Working Drawings and Other Visible Things on Paper Not Necessarily Meant to be Viewed as Art is considered to be the first Conceptual Art exhibition. Mel Bochner (b. 1940) emerged at a time when young artists considered painting exhausted. A pioneer in incorporating language into visual art, Bochner has taken an unusual turn toward painterly expressiveness during the past two decades. Mel Bochner: Strong Language will reveal the artist's longstanding engagement with the possibilities of language as image, medium, and content. Visitors will be able to see a broad selection ranging from often witty early conceptual works to vibrantly colored and lushly executed recent paintings.
The use of words as a source for painting springs from Bochner's interest in the philosophy of language on the one hand, and popular culture and humor on the other. For the artist, the thesaurus is "a warehouse for words," a mine of readymade text for his billboard-like pictures. Using a variety of techniques - paint on canvas and velvet, drawing, printmaking, and wall installations - Bochner's Thesaurus paintings riff on words and their meanings in countless permutations. Bochner uses word games, incongruous associations, and even slapstick to involve the viewer in deeper considerations of linguistic, psychological, and social issues.
The artist's earlier conceptualism, built on language philosophy, and systems of measurement and counting, was often realized in monochrome. The recent works are lush, with high-key color and sometimes with thick facture, playing pictorial approaches against literary associations. Incorporating colloquialisms, slang, and expletives, the Thesauruspaintings vividly capture the language of everyday life. Visual and mental snares await the viewer, who must negotiate a path between the opticality of color, the materiality of paint, and the sometimes outright obscenity of language.
Within the Western philosophical tradition, Bochner has long been interested in Jewish thought, with its emphasis on text, language, and wordplay. The language he selects is often mundane, on occasion emotional, and sometimes transgressive. As in Roget, the formal, the elegant, and the crude are lumped together. Bochner captures the darker side of language using sources as disparate as websites inciting hate-speech, books such asThe Joys of Yiddish, or banal shop window signage, resulting in a rhythmic flow of speech not unlike hip-hop.
Key to understanding Bochner's language-based works is his wall piece, Language Is Not Transparent (1970). Bochner will re-create the work for The Jewish Museum exhibition, the first time it has been seen in New York since its initial 1970 exhibition at the Dwan Gallery. He first paints a black rectangle on a white gallery wall with three straight-edged sides, allowing the paint to drip along the bottom edge. Chalked on the paint is the inscription: LANGUAGE IS NOT TRANSPARENT. In the drippy background he questions the high seriousness of Abstract Expressionism while the text questions Conceptualism's belief in the objectivity of language.
Other exhibition highlights include a group of small text-based portraits of artists and writers, made between 1966 and 1968. These exquisite works constitute Bochner's early use of the thesaurus and, according to the artist, prompted his interest in language. Each is a set of words, drawn in ink and configured into a specific shape, and each portrays an artist of Bochner's circle or one of his cultural heroes: Ad Reinhardt, Eva Hesse, Sol LeWitt, Robert Smithson, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Marcel Duchamp, and Jorge Luis Borges. Each word portrait incorporates a list of synonyms relating to the sensibilities of the sitter. The words are laid out in a shape typical of that artist's signature works. In 2001 Bochner re-visited portraits of Eva Hesse and Robert Smithson, close friends who had died in 1970 and 1973, respectively. Rather than the earlier pithy representations, these larger charcoal drawings are elegiac memorials to deceased friends.
Bochner's interest in language and translation, as seen in his "Wittgenstein" paintings (1997-2001), extends to the Yiddishisms that pepper the text of several of his Thesauruspaintings. In Kvetch, Kvetch, Kvetch (2010) the word becomes an onomatopoetic expression of itself. This work may be seen as an analogue to his series titled Blah, Blah, Blah (2008-2012) which offers the repetition of that single word as a vehicle for alienated thought.
The final gallery of the exhibition features two paintings in which words have vanished and only punctuation and "leetspeak," a way of writing on the internet where letters are replaced by numbers or other symbols, remain. Colon Open Parenthesis (2011) is a hand-painted emoticon, a typed symbol of the frowny face common in text messaging, often used when words fail. Dollar Hash Exclamation Plus (2011) uses these symbols both to represent swearing and to spell out an expletive that can pass a web-based censor: $#!+. Also on view is a suite of paintings, And/If/Or/But (2006), in which these prepositions and conjunctions appear in iridescent paint that changes color as the viewer moves past them. As always, Bochner explores a wide array of meaning from the unintelligible to the hopeless, from despair to discomfort, from indifference to protest.
Mel Bochner: Strong Language is organized by Norman L. Kleeblatt, Susan & Elihu Rose Chief Curator of The Jewish Museum. The exhibition design is by Smithsonian - Cooper Hewitt National Design Award winners, Tsao & McKown Architects.
In conjunction with the exhibition, The Jewish Museum and Yale University Press are co-publishing a 144-page catalogue by Norman L. Kleeblatt with a text by Mel Bochner. Mr. Kleeblatt discusses the evolution of Bochner's art from his early word experiments through his return to painting, while Bochner offers a personal perspective. Both Kleeblatt and Bochner address the question of Jewishness in Bochner's work, particularly the ways in which Jewish intellectual tradition embraces language as a visual expressive form. Featuring 101 color and 11 black and white illustrations, the book will be available worldwide and at The Jewish Museum's Cooper Shop for $45.00.
Widely admired for its exhibitions and collections that inspire people of all backgrounds, The Jewish Museum is one of the world's preeminent institutions devoted to exploring art and Jewish culture from ancient to contemporary. Located at Fifth Avenue and 92nd Street, The Jewish Museum organizes a diverse schedule of internationally acclaimed and award-winning temporary exhibitions as well as dynamic and engaging programs for families, adults, and school groups. The Museum was established in 1904, when Judge Mayer Sulzberger donated 26 ceremonial art objects to The Jewish Theological Seminary of America as the core of a museum collection. Today, the Museum maintains a collection of 25,000 objects - paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, video, archaeological artifacts, ritual objects, and broadcast media.
The Jewish Museum is located at 1109 Fifth Avenue at 92nd Street, New York City. Museum hours are Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, 11am to 5:45pm; Thursday, 11am to 8pm; and Friday, 11am to 4pm.

Squadron & Nycedc Announce East River Ferry Shuttle Service to Run Between Greenpoint and North Williamsburg
Free shuttle bus service begins tomorrow, operating during morning and evening peak hours
New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and State Senator Daniel Squadron today announced a temporary shuttle bus service will commence operation tomorrow, February 18, 2014, transporting riders between the India St. / Greenpoint and the N. 6th St. / N. Williamsburg East River Ferry landings during morning and evening rush hours. The free shuttle will facilitate East River Ferry access for riders who use the India St. / Greenpoint landing, which has been out of service since Thursday, February 13.
BillyBey, operator of the East River Ferry, will operate a shuttle bus making the following pick-up and drop-off stops:
Southbound Morning Rush Hour Service: India St. / Greenpoint to N. 6th St. / N. Williamsburg
First departure at 6:50 a.m.; additional departures every 20 minutes; final departure at 9:30 a.m.
- Stop 1: India Street ferry landing at the corner of India Street & West Street
- Stop 2: Franklin Street at the B32 bus stop between Noble St & Oak St
- Stop 3: North Williamsburg ferry landing at the foot of North 6th Street
Northbound Evening Rush Hour Service: N. 6th St. / N. Williamsburg to India St. / Greenpoint
First departure at 4:30 p.m.; additional departures every 20 minutes; final departure at 7:20 p.m.
- Stop 1: North Williamsburg ferry landing at the foot of North 6th Street
- Stop 2: Franklin Street & Noble Street at the B32 bus stop
- Stop 3: Franklin Street & Greenpoint Avenue at the B32 bus stop
- Stop 4: Franklin Street & India Street
- Stop 5: India Street ferry landing at the corner of India Street & West Street
The shuttle service will operate for a minimum of two weeks, pending ridership. During off-peak hours, passengers may use the B32 bus, which regularly travels a similar route throughout the day.
"More and more New Yorkers depend on ferries as part of their daily lives," said Senator Daniel Squadron, who requested the free shuttle. "In Greenpoint, the East River Ferry provides vital transportation to a community in deep need of it. Critical repairs and safety reviews could strand many commuters as the India Street terminal is kept out of service -- shuttle buses to the nearest ferry stop will go a long way for many commuters. I'm grateful to Kyle Kimball, EDC, and BillyBey for moving quickly and being so responsive. The message is clear: we are committed to the vital link that expanded ferry service provides, even when problems strike."
"East River Ferry service has proven to be a reliable piece of New York City's transportation infrastructure, and it is imperative that those who typically ride from Greenpoint continue to have travel options while the terminal is temporarily out of service," said NYCEDC President Kyle Kimball. "We thank Senator Squadron for helping to facilitate this shuttle bus service. Passenger safety is our first priority, and we will continue to work with the ferry operator on necessary improvements to ensure New Yorkers can enjoy the East River Ferry for years to come."
"This shuttle is a welcome development for ferry riders who would have been stranded after last week's unexpected gangway collapse at India Street," said U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney. "It provides continuous service for commuters while the ferry stop is inspected to ensure passenger safety and prevent these incidents in the future. I commend Sen. Squadron for his leadership in working with the EDC to quickly address the issue."
"The East River Ferry is an important transportation option for Greenpoint, but the community needs to have complete assurance that their trip will be a safe one," said Council Member Stephen Levin. "I appreciate that EDC has pledged to fully investigate what caused last week's ramp collapse and await the release of the results. I am glad that in the meantime, they will offer a free shuttle bus until the ferry is back up and running."
"As we continue to work with engineers, along with the property owner of the India Street pier and the EDC, to determine the cause of the problem last week, we hope that this shuttle will provide our Greenpoint passengers with a viable alternate means to access our East River Ferry service," said Paul Goodman, CEO of BillyBey Ferry Company.

So, time has come for me to realize that my time with Gentoo is over. I
haven't actually been doing much Gentoo work over the last months due
to personal reasons (nothing Gentoo related), and I don't see that
situation changing in the near future. In fact I've already reassigned
or dropped most of my responsibilites in Gentoo a while ago, so there
are just a few pet projects left to give away:
– my gentoo-stats project (in the portage/gentoo-stats svn repository).
I know quite a few people are interested in the idea of collecting
various statistic data from gentoo user systems, and I'd encourage
everyone who wants to implement such a system to at least look at it (I
may have even finished it if I wouldn't have wasted my time focusing on
the wrong problems). There is quite a bit of documentation also that
should help to get you started
– a graphical security update tool (see bug #190397)
So if anyone wants to adopt those, complete or just parts, just take
them. As for Portage, Zac has practically already filled my role.
So I guess that wraps it up. It's been a nice ride most of the time,
but now it's time for me to leave the Gentoo train.

Holly Holm endorses supplements containing UFC-banned substance
UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm has signed an endorsement deal with a company that manufactures supplements containing DMAA, a stimulant banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, according to a USA Today report.
Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals confirmed to USA Today that Holm recently signed a two-year endorsement deal with them, and appears in a new ad with five supplements. Three contain DMAA.
"Holly Holm is a great UFC champion and a role model for the sport of mixed martial arts," UFC said in a statement to USA Today Sports. "The UFC organization has not researched the company that is sponsoring Holm, and UFC does not condone any athlete that uses a substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency's Prohibited List."
The report notes that UFC uses the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to handle their doping protocol, and that the USADA abides by WADA rules and regulations.
Holm has passed each of the seven drug tests administered to her, and her association with Hi-Tech does not mean that she has used their supplements.
In November, Holm knocked out undefeated champion Ronda Rousey in Australia. Her next scheduled fight is against Miesha Tate at UFC 197 on March 5.

Nevertheless, having also lived in the UK, Hong Kong costs of commute are still a lot cheaper (probably because the distance covered is shorter compared to the UK).

"Sounds Better Than It Measures"
- 3.0/5,
Pros - Punchy bass, Good Mids, Musical
Cons - Highs can be harsh, Bass is not well extended, Fit is hit or miss for some
This is a love it or hate it headphone.
This headphone measures quite poorly according to the measurements I've looked at.
This headphone sounds terrific!
Fit / Comfort
This is one of the areas where many find problems.
I've worn this for extended periods and sometimes if I have it sitting the wrong way, I do experience some discomfort.
I've also worn this for extended periods with no problems at all.
The clamp is about as strong as a Beyer DT770.
Though the headband has a cushion where it pushes down on the top of your head, the headband is what usually causes discomfort for me if I have it too far back on my head.
Sound Quality
Every time I listen to these headphones, I feel there they have a warmth and aggressiveness to them.
The warmth however really works well in my opinion to pull in the highs some so they aren't quite as harsh as I feel they could be.
The mids are very present and coupled with the warmth, provide a very musical experience.
Compared to headphones however that are more neutral, the mids are overshadowed here some by the highs.
Vocals are very present and clear.
Bass is punchy and mostly tight, however at times it seems a bit weak or dry in its presentation.
I've heard better cans in regards to bass extension and tightness, however I feel these do an excellent job.
I think what makes or breaks this for folks are the highs - harsh or sparkly/clear depending on the person.
There are times when they are a bit much for me, but more often than not I fall in the latter group.
Bottom line though is the presentation should be bearable and pleasant with as many types of music as possible - the 780s lose some points here as there are some genres where it's just too much to take.
Build Quality
I feel Ultrasone did a great job.
The headband is sturdy, padding is adequate in my opinion, and the gimbals allow for the ear cups to swivel 90 degrees or flip upside down and up under the headband for transport and storage.
The ear cups have a nice finish and style, though they can pick up scratches if you're not careful.
The ear pads are not the softest synthetic or otherwise leather/pleather, but they are soft enough and fit quite comfortably around the ear.
I would have appreciate softer and more comfortable earpads here but they do grow on you - if you've experienced better though it will take some time to adjust.
For larger heads, I'm not entirely sure the ear pads would go completely around the ear - they are definitely a little smaller than some full sized headphones (DT770 for example).
Overall though the ear pads isolate well, so these would work well in an environment where noise would be an issue.
The headphone comes with a straight 3.5 foot cable.
I prefer coiled cables, however this one is mostly adequate for portable use.
You also get a longer extension cable and a very nice soft felt bag with the Ultrasone logo on the front for transporting the set around.
I haven't attempted too much with this headphone yet except a re-cable, which was fairly easy.
The one thing I would mention is the ear pads are a bit tough to get off/on - something that just irks me a bit as I like to swap out the pads at time to try different things.
Some folks have removed the small pcb that hooks up the incoming cable with the drivers, though I have not tried that yet and am not sure what the results sound like.
I have also seen cotton and other dampening material used in the cups to help with the harshness/sharpness of the highs.
I'll update this review if I ever get around to performing any of these mods.
I like these headphones.
I can take the highs quite well and I really enjoy the smooth, warm, and musical sound I feel they have.
The noise isolation is among the best I've experienced with a closed headphone, so you can really crank up the volume without disturbing others (just be careful with your own hearing).
I feel they're worth the price is you can find a pair for $100-$120 range.
The original MSRP however is much too high and there are much better that could be found in that price range.
"Great for Movies and watching tv"
- 3.5/5,
Pros - Forward vocal presentation-Great for Movies, TV and good for Games
Cons - Not the most musical
It is a decent pair of headphones. Nice comfort, good to very good design and quality. Outstanding for Movies with forward vocals but theres better out there for musical.Hans-Austria likes this.
"Ultrasone HFI-780 first impression"
- 3.5/5,
Some time ago, while reading head-fi.org forum, I noticed that members were complaining that buyers of HFI-780 disappear right after making a purchase and do not give feedback…
Being a proud owner of AKG 702 for almost 3 years, recently I was forced to buy another pair of headphones. This time I needed closed cans in order to use it at work. "Ultrasone HFI-780 S-Logic Surround Sound Professional Headphones" was the item of my choice.
The first impression, when I unpacked the package, was positive, but not that positive as I expected. I know that HFI is almost $130 cheaper, but I still wanted something similar to AKG.
HFI box includes demo CD, AKG does not. HFI cord is so terribly short that I cannot reach the amplifier while sitting at the table. AKG has a softer, longer and replaceable cord which I really miss on these headphones.
My setup is FLAC-> NuForce Icon HDP -> headphones.
Definitely HFI are nice cans. They have the same feature as AKG - as soon you plug it in, you simply cannot stand low quality tracks.
Currently, I cannot say much about its sound quality because I have to wait at least 100 hours of burn time. However, during the first 2 hours HFI were producing muffled sound. On the 3[sup]rd[/sup] hour, the sound quality pleasantly increased. By default HFI are noisy, I can hear slight background noise, and on the minimal amplifier power the right channel is louder. AKG and Panasonic XBS (average price $5) do not have such problems.
HFI is punchy, has good bass and treble, but IMHO it is lacking of mids. Lots of people recommend it for Metal. I've tried it on Iced Earth, Dark Tranquility, Samael, In Extremo, Children of Bodom,Dream Theater. They are missing something… you can feel each guitar and drum, but in general the whole composition loses the style. It is not Metal anymore, it is just good music. They are missing something. And you know… it was my amplifier. It matches AKG but does not fit HFI. When I switched to a regular Realtek sound card, everything changed. Got lower quality, but it was Metal again.
Country and blues, for instance, Dave Alvin, Little Axe, etc – definitely downgrade from AKG.
I must admit that AKG are very balanced, and, therefore, they are boring cans. HFI are slightly colorful, so electronic music sounds great.
Would I recommend it? You can find less expensive headphones which are more comfortable than HFI-780 and have similar quality. Also, even low-end headphones, such as my Panasonic, can bring you more fun than headphones that cost few hundred bucks. If you are buying it for Metal, I would say they are good but not the best.
I returned it to the seller due to unacceptable noise level.

What is the cost to have arm and leg extra skin removed?
To start this process consider a consult with an ASAPS Member in your area. Write down your concerns and request they be addressed at a consultation. Often arm & leg surgery are done at separate settings to reduce post operative complications.
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
Great to hear that you have lost so much weight. this is a very difficult question to answer without pictures. The arms are connected to the upper back and breast so you can imagine how difficult it is to give cost. It would be very expensive ;any where between 20 and 30 thousand dollars for both. This type of price will, most likely, include the doctor, hospital, anesthesiologist and all after care. Prices can vary but go to a board certified plastic surgeon.

387. Levi COMSTOCK was born on 28 June 1783. He died on 13 July 1859 at the age of 76 in Oneida County, New York.
1788, 12 Jul John, for love, deeded 1/2 of the home farm to sons William and Levi.
1792 Said to be a Levi Comstock who appeared in Oneida Co NY in 1792, cleared a farm and build a log cabin. If this is true, he cannot be the Levi Comstock born 1783, buried in Oneida Co. Since this appeared in a short bio about a grandson in a much later county history book, it's likely not accurate.
1799 The year William and Levi Comstock are reputed to have gone to Oneida Co, NY. They were young to be going off on their own, but their father was deceased and their mother remarried. The 1800 census listing fro Francis Hamilton, their stepfather, suggests William and Levi may have still been in his household. It has been assumed that this William & Levi were the same as the sons of John who received a gift of land from their father in 1788.
1805, 22 Feb William & Levi Comstock of Paris, Oneida Co NY, deed Stephen Charles Mowry 1/2 of a farm in Smithfield, RI, where our father John lived and died excepting the dower of Ruth Hamilton out of said deed.
Levi married 6 Jun 1805 to Lucy Skinner.
1810 Census for Oneida Co used only initials for given names. There were two W. Comstocks but only one of the right age. No L. for Levi but he might have been living with his brother, since this appears to be two couples.

That was my parents' approach. Actually, I think my dad's disappointed I never scored him a dime bag from the stoners on the corner across from the school. ("Daddy, your job does drug testing...") He came of age in the sixties; naturally he did a bit of experimenting of his own! So he and Mum told me that if I wanted to try pot, I had better do it in the safety of our home. Ditto alcohol; they understood about forbidden fruit pretty well.
Didn't touch a drop of booze until I was eighteen; meanwhile, my cousins in Germany had beers at our camping party aged fifteen. None of us are alcoholics! The only drugs I've done are prescribed to me, and I do not abuse them.

And that is why I'm on this site, to find out the differences and the similarities. I'm really not sure that he is actually poly at all, or he would give more thought on this.
Ethical non-monogamy basically means we're capable of having multiple partners without cheating. Honesty, trust, and communication are usually more important than any spirituality. Drugs are definitely not a part of poly culture; opinions vary. I personally don't want to be with a partner who uses, even recreationally. I haven't got bail for possession charges, and I don't trust anything but pot to be safe.
That said? If your hard limits are different, that's entirely your choice. Just own the harm that might happen as well as the good and I'm cool with those kinds of choices. Honest risk evaluation is a great thing.
I'm sorry if my posts are jumbled or if I seem to flounder. It's hard for me to make the words come out right sometimes, with my head all fogged up with everything.
Ah, hell, I know from brain fog. Gotta love CFIDS/fibro/whatthefuckery. You tell it in your own way and we'll listen.

SANTA CRUZ >> After 10 years as operating partner at Bessemer Venture Partners where he saw 9.6 percent of the deals make 80 percent of the money, Chris Risley wants to stay close to home at the Santa Cruz harbor, where he has purchased an office and rented another, with room for five or six tiny companies.
"It's the most beautiful place in the world," he said, entertaining a rapt TechRaising audience of 50 Thursday night at NextSpace, while delivering punchlines amongst his strategies for pitching venture capitalists.
"I'm a VC anthropologist, I've seen them in their native habitat," Risley said, explaining venture capitalists want to change the world and get a big return working 30 hours a week.
"They don't want to control your business. That's a disaster scenario for a venture capitalist. They live an overpaid life. If they control your business, they have to think about it all the time," he said.
His advice: "Don't give them a business plan. They won't read it. To be duly diligent, they have to read it. They'll be paralyzed and they won't invest."
Work backward: "Start by writing your press release on the big announcement. Then work your way back."
Risley said Defense.net, a security startup with $9.5 million from Bessemer, sold this year after 18 months for $50 million.
Yet misfires have been plenty.
Bessemer turned down a startup to sell stamps, coins and comic books online.
"That was eBay," Risley said.
In 1998, he heard Larry Page describe a startup as "better search."
Risley, thinking of Inktomi, responded: "Search is over."
Google triumphed.
In 2005, Risley said no to a pitch to put instant messages together and Bessemer declined the deal. Use of the new service doubled every week for nine weeks, embraced by students and soldiers. After seven years, Meebo was sold to Google for close to $100 million.
"It almost doesn't matter if you can explain it, but if the graph goes like this," said Risley, pointing to a chart showing Meebo's escalation, "You can raise the money."
Venture capitalists are awash in money they get from pension funds, insurance companies, university endowments and wealthy families who become limited partners.
Bessemer got its start when Henry Phipps, co-founder of Carnegie Steel with Andrew Carnegie, reinvested proceeds from the sale into other ventures.
"Santa Cruz suffers from startup myopia," Risley said. "The market ends at Scotts Valley, there's the Summit. VCs won't give you the money to make that happen."
The solution is to ask: "Am I addressing the biggest opportunity?"
Venture capitalists won't drive Highway 17 so "hold your board meetings at their place," Risley said. "Use Silicon Valley arguments, not Santa Cruz arguments."
Santa Cruz attorney Jill Jacobs, who represents green businesses, said she liked Risley's advice to set up a landing page with a credit card slot to test product demand.
"Maximizing the opportunity" and "addressing the pain" resonated with Mitch Slater, 41, who is putting 19 years' experience teaching and love for math into his startup Leverage Learning.
Hiring the best talent, as Risley advised, can be a double-edged sword, noted Doug Erickson, who saw a hire recruited away to San Francisco after 10 months.
"If the most important thing is money, they're probably the wrong person," observed Chris Miller of Launch Brigade and Caffeine.
Mark Adams, a 2014 UC Santa Cruz graduate and campus hackathon organizer, considered working in San Francisco until he got an appealing offer from a new nonprofit in Santa Cruz.
TechRaising co-founder Andrew Mueller announced the group has grown ot 500 members.
Must-haves for VC pitch
• Who are you?
• How big is the market? Must be $1 billion or more
• Why is it in pain? What itch do you scratch?
• Why the current solutions aren't working: Usually it's lousy user experience
• How does your solution improve the consumer experience?
• Who is the team?
• What proof do you have? Demos, testimonials
• How will you sell? Or will you give your product away?
• Do you have a matrix of you and your competition showing you in the upper righthand corner?
• How fast can this grow?
• Financials: Revenue, expenses, starting cash, cash balance by quarters for three years
• Why are you the right team?

While details about the fifth and final season of "Breaking Bad" are still hard to come by, at least one new cast member has been revealed.
TVLine is reporting that Jesse Plemons has signed on for a major recurring role on the forthcoming season of "Breaking Bad." Plemons will portray Todd, a young man who is described as " dependable" and "innocuous;" but the report also warns that Todd may not be what he appears to be.
Plemons is best known for his turn as Landry Clarke on "Friday Night Lights," in addition to his roles in Varsity Blues, Paul, Shrink, The Failures and All the Pretty Horses. Plemons also has a major part in the upcoming Battleship (pictured above) film alongside his "Friday Night Lights" costar, Taylor Kitsch.
"Breaking Bad" will return to AMC for its fifth season in July. Although AMC has yet to confirm this, it is widely expected that the final season of "Breaking Bad" will be split into two halves of eight episodes each, with the final eight to be held back until 2013.

Category: brand names
By Abby Sandel, Appellation Mountain
We're just days into the new year, and there's so much to anticipate.
What will Zara Phillips Tindall, the least conventionally named of Queen Elizabeth II's grandchildren, name her first child? When the 2013 data is released, will Jacob still be the most common name for boys born in the US, or will Mason unseat him? Which fictional character names will take us by surprise?
But this week, I'm thinking about a very specific question: of all the unconventional word name possibilities, which will go from sounding wacky and way out there to mainstream in 2014?
Kids called Willow, River, Scarlett, Genesis, Serenity, and Cash are nothing new, but not so long ago those all sounded as outlandish as Apple or Bear.
Earlier this week The Tennessean reported that the majority of Americans are completely fine with kids called Messiah. That's pretty tolerant – if we can handle Messiah, surely Pilot is no big deal.
And yet, I wonder about the power of noun names to influence our choices. Nancy recently shared a quote on nominative determinism – an elaborate way of saying that your name determines your future.
Will calling your child Forest make him outdoorsy? Will Aria love to sing? Can Cash expect to hit it big on Wall Street – or maybe Vegas? Is Valor brave and Honor honorable?
Plenty of parents must be hoping this is true. Or at least they're untroubled by the possibility. Because we've been borrowing from the dictionary with abandon as 2013 slipped into 2014.
Nameberry guest blogger and star intern Hannah Tenison uncovers a catalogue of intriguingly stylish baby names.
Savvy shoppers know that the best deals and sales are to be found after the holidays, when retailers who need to make room for new spring inventory drastically slash prices. This year, with my gift cards in hand, I have been browsing clothing websites in search of the best deals and steals.
What I found, however, in addition to the array of beautifully discounted clothing I had anticipated, was a plethora of stylish baby names. Retailers, perhaps in an effort to imbue their clothing with a certain personality or style, are frequently naming their garments, and some clothing manufacturers are surprisingly (and delightfully) very skilled at the name game.
One of my favorite websites to troll, Rugby Ralph Lauren, offered up such a dazzling bevy of holiday delicacies that I felt compelled to share them with all the other berries out there! The choices range from the lusciously feminissima (Calixta and Forsythia) to crusty surname (Talcott and Ackley) to epic medieval (Baldric and Rowena), and all of them were so appealing that it was hard to whittle down the complete list of stylish baby names I'd found. The ones I've compiled for the sake of this blog are my favorites; unusual, fresh, and imminently "wearable." In any case, Rugby is brilliant for putting so much effort into these names; I can't be the only one who, given the choice between a blouse called "Araminte" and one called "Maddysin," would take the former!
