Gathering parts for my AR15 build and would like to know which magazine has been the most dependable and which ones to steer clear of??
Many thanks....

Most find that cleaned up and decent condition GI mags work as well as any. I saw a box full for 5.00 per at the gun show last weekend. Bought two and was not disappointed..
PMags are good- CProducts are good also
I have about 10 CProducts mags in 6.8SPC and they've all worked good so far. If you're sticking with 223....then you can't beat a C-Mag 100 round drum....they perform flawlessly!!!! I have one for now and its worked everytime I've pulled the trigger with it....probly gone thru 600-ish rounds thru it....its a great investment!
I'll bet the drum is more fun than the thirty round GI's as well....
I just go with aluminum mags and tweak them to be perfect. The korean steel HK copy mags are supposed to be good, even if they aren't then just tweak them and deburr the feedlips, they're metal, not magic. That's what I don't like about plastic mags, when you drop them they crack, aluminum mags just get the feedlips bent outwards a bit, slap them on the ground to bend them back into a similar shape [I usually leave them so the rounds sit a little bit higher on the feedramps, so long as they still hold rounds reliably and clear the bottom of the BCG] and they keep working. With cracked plastic mags all you can do is jam them back into the magwell and pray that you don't get doublefeeds everywhere from the spread feedlips.
I have had good luck with PMags, HK mags, British Mags w/ mag pull followers stuffed in, C Products, Most GI mags with magpul followers stuffed in and the odd feed lip tweak. In that order with the first 2 basically tied. I don't have the HK mags anymore as I traded them for 4 new PMags /HK mag as I didn't see 30 bucks more reliablity out of the HK ones. For 20s, I have early steel waffle mags, Colt commercial with aluminum followers, GI with alumium followers, GI w/ plastic followers. 20s are great when you are trying to get closer to Mother Earth.
Mags I have had nothing but trouble from: Singapore made steel, Promag, Thermold. Occasionally you get a good one or a good batch.
I hear the Lancers are good, but never tried one.
Surplus and C Products....That is all I have current experience with...Both work fine for the amount of use that I give them....Maybe two or three reloads on a shooting day.
for what it is worth...
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower
D&H/labell made GI mags, C=products,and the very best magpull P-mags.
there are a few other mags that will run well and some other mags that ain't worth the effort.

A project of
In his study of immigration to the United States, historian Maldwyn Jones referred to the phenomenon of immigration as "the most persistent and pervasive influence in [the United States'] development" (Jones 1). Jones' observation was true then and continues to be accurate today. The story of immigration to this country is one of shaping and re-shaping the face of a nation. From the first encounter of native populations with the first immigrants to the country, each group of newcomers has made its mark upon a country.
A curiously mixed response to immigration has always been the norm in the United States, even in colonial days. A shortage of labor would result in efforts to recruit immigrant labor and promote the settlement of land. Yet even in the face of an urgent need for workers, barriers were commonly placed against their arrival. Newcomers themselves, early colonists frequently balked at the arrival of other (later) newcomers. As Jones points out, "Most of the colonies levied discriminatory head taxes upon ship captains landing Roman Catholics, and even the colonies which attempted to promote immigration were careful to specify that only Protestants could qualify for the bounties or other inducements offered" (Jones 43). Victims of religious persecution were often openly hostile toward those who did not share their religious views. Likewise, an ethnic group would turn against the next ethnic group to arrive.
A study of early immigration to the United States also reveals differences in assimilation patterns (Jones 42). In other words, not all immigrant groups assimilated at precisely the same rate. Moreover, location and nature of the setting, while significant, were not enough to determine how quickly—or how slowly—immigrants would be absorbed into the mainstream.
If all of this sounds familiar, it should. One of the greatest lessons to be learned in studying the phenomenon of immigration to the United States is that the faces of immigrants change, but the reasons behind massive human movement and reactions to that movement have been relatively unchanged. For that reason, we present the following timeline of significant dates in U.S. immigration history. By no means is this list presented as an absolutely accurate or completely thorough record of immigration to this country. Visitors to this Web site are encouraged to see this only as academic "food for thought," encouragement to reflect upon what world events might have led to these arrivals. To that end, links to Web sites with further information about various episodes of immigration are provided. Remember that precise dates are also often hard to pinpoint, especially because immigration is often not the result of a single event and it often takes place over a period of years or even decades. Finally, this timeline serves only as a starting point. Please add to the list with immigration episodes of which you are aware and which you feel warrant inclusion.

1598 — Mexican settlers arrive in what would become New Mexico. (Wars and subsequent treaties would result in Mexican citizens becoming "foreigners" in the land that they and their ancestors had occupied for centuries.)
1607 — Arrival of the first English settlers to found a permanent settlement in Jamestown, Virginia
1619 — Arrival of first Africans in Jamestown, Virginia. These newcomers came as indentured servants who were to work for a master for seven years and then would be given their freedom. Once freed, many became landowners and farmers themselves.
1620 — Landing of the Mayflower in Plymouth, Massachusetts, marking the beginning of arrivals of Puritan population in New England.
1623 — Beginning of settlement of New Netherland by Dutch immigrants. Three years later, in 1626, the Dutch would also found the colony of New Amsterdam in what is now New York City. (It is noteworthy, however, that as early as 1609, Henry Hudson, on behalf of the Dutch government, explored the river that would ultimately bear his name.)
1638 — Arrival in Delaware of the first Swedish settlers. Establishment of the colony of New Sweden.
1650 — Virginia changes its laws regarding Africans: rather than enjoying freedom after seven years, all Africans were henceforth to be servants for life, in short, slaves.
1654 — Arrival in the United States of the first Jewish immigrants. Although they arrived in New Amsterdam from South America, they had originally been expelled from Spain during the Spanish Inquisition.
1683 — Arrival in the United States of the first settlers from Germany.
1718 — Beginning of the first wave of immigrants from Scotland and Ireland.
1747 — Arrival of first Russians in the U.S., primarily fur traders. (Greater numbers of Russian immigrants would arrive in the late 1800s.)
1795 — The Naturalization Act is passed, restricting U.S. citizenship to "free white persons" with a minimum residency in the United States of five years. Three years later that residency requirement would be raised to 14 years.
1825 — Arrival in the United States of the first group of Norwegian immigrants.
1849 — The beginning of the California Gold Rush turns a "trickle" of immigration of Chinese citizens to the United States into a massive demographic movement.
1850 to 1880 — First period of massive migration of Mexican immigrants across the border. (Of course, it should be noted, as outlined above, that a significant presence of Mexican settlers in the United States pre-dated the end of the Mexican War in 1848.)
1870s and 1880s — Beginnings of Japanese immigration to the United States.
1880s — Period of beginnings of notable immigration from Italy.
1882 — The Chinese Exclusion Act is passed by Congress. It represented the first federal legislation aimed at limiting immigration to the United States of any specific ethnic group.
1891 — Establishment of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).
1892 — Ellis Island opened as an immigration screening center.
1917 — Immigration Act of 1917
1921 — Introduction of the first immigration quota system, limiting the number of persons allowed entry as immigrants into the United States.
1924 — Creation of the U.S. Border Patrol and enactment of National Origins Act.
1945 — War Brides Act
1948 — Displaced Persons Act
1952 — Immigration and Naturalization Act
1953 — Refugee Relief Act
1954 — Closing of Ellis Island Immigration Center
1959 — Beginnings of significant immigration of Cubans to the United States.
1980 — The Refugee Act is enacted, largely in response to the arrival of "boat people" fleeing Vietnam
2003 — Creation of the Department of Homeland Security. Operating within that department is the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS), replacing Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

My asthma was getting worse and we couldn't figure out why. The Advair and rescue inhaler were losing effectiveness for some reason. I decided to give this a try. Within the first week I noticed the difference. I was so happy I literally cried. I can work out again, sleep peacefully throughout the night without shortness of breath, my dark under eye circles have cleared up....I can't express how happy I am to have found this product.

Works Well

I developed asthma because of mold in my basement. My doctor gave me an inhaler which helped. But when I had an asthma reaction to the fumes from the mold encapsulating paint, it didn't do a thing. Lung Saver literally enabled me to stay in my home while the paint was gassing out. It took away my asthma symptoms and that, along with an air purifier, kept me breathing freely. My doctor said I probably have mild asthma, but it's usually not bad enough to bother me too much. But now I know, if I ever have another attack, I will use Lung Saver.

Quite surprising
Posted by Reviewer1383907 on Sep 13, 2012 | Verified Purchase
My asthma which was bad as a child seemed to disappear during my teenage years but now I'm in my 40's it seems to be returning with a vengeance. My doctor has been subscribing stronger and stronger medication every year which was worrying. I went from Becotide 100mg to Becotide 250mg and Seretide 100mg to Seritide (Adivar in US) 250 with Bricanyl inhalers supplementing frequently also. I'm quite sceptical normally about non prescription "natural" remedies as in the past they had little effect and I reckoned it was probably a placebo or the madness of crowds effect. I ordered Lung Saver on a whim or perhaps a little desperation. I was surprised. I took one with breakfast and one with dinner (though the bottle says two, twice a day is optimal)and the next day I noticed all of a sudden that, hey, i'm no longer concious that breathing is uncomfortable. I put it down to the weather. But the next day was the same, and the day after. I had a repeat prescription for the Becotide 100mg still valid so I thought, lets give it a try. I'm still mostly wheeze free! I would say in conclusion that this product is unlikely to be a miracle cure if you have bad asthma but for me anyway, its made my life a lot more comfortable, reduced the amount of strong steroid inhaler medication I have to take and saved me a lot of money in doctor trips and medication. I'd recommend anyone with asthma to give it a try, I think you might be surprised, I certainly was!

My husband has had asthma for over 10 years and it was getting worse. He would use his inhaler 3 times a day. At night he would wake up coughing. Now he takes lung-saver once in the morning and once at night. He no longer needs his inhaler or coughs at night. Excellent product, highely recommended for asmatics.

Australia's official human rights watchdog wants a third gender which they term, "intersex" to be created for use on official documents such as passports. The new gender would be legally recognized and be valid for use by anyone who believes he/she/them fits the description of being an "intersex" person. Under the proposal from the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission anyone, regardless of having an operation or not, would be eligible to declare themselves to be "intersex."
Perhaps, we have missed the boat on the potential ways in which we can classify humans. My children are the result of a Jewish-Catholic marriage so can they be termed: Cathjew on their passport or any document that asks for religion. How about people who do not enjoy sex that results in penetration and are gays or lesbians, can they become, "outersex" people? So does the child of a black-white marriage become "an inbetween" person?

Portland Breakwater Light "Bug Light"
1 Park Drive P.O. Box F Rockland, ME US 04841
The original Portland Breakwater Light was built in 1855 and was a tiny, wooden affair marking the end of a rocky breakwater shielding Portland Harbor. Eventually, the original light tower was replaced. The new one, built in 1875, is one of Maine's most elegant lighthouses. Though modeled on an ancient Greek monument, the 26-foot-tall tower is built of plates of cast iron. It was dubbed "Bug Light" due to its small size. The light sits in Bug Light Park in South Portland, where free parking is available. To reach the park, take Route 77 south into South Portland. Drive east on Broadway, turn left on Pickett St., which becomes Madison St. and leads to the park. Bug Light can also be seen from several Casco Bay cruises.

State Department to send Ground Zero Mosque Imam on third Middle East tour
posted at 8:22 am on August 11, 2010 by Diane Suffern
Not one to rest on its laurels, the administration extends its incredibly tone-deaf streak by sponsoring an overseas "goodwill" trip featuring Feisal Abdul Rauf, executive director of the Cordoba Initiative and proposed Park51 NYC mosque. The ACLJ is filing a complaint with the State Department in an effort to stop taxpayer funding of the trip, Fox News reports:
The State Department confirmed Tuesday that the administration is sponsoring Feisal Abdul Rauf's trip to Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, which is described as part of a program to send Muslims abroad to educate other countries about the role of religion in the United States. Rauf made similar trips during the Bush administration. […]
"This shows a tremendous lack of judgment on behalf of the State Department; and for the American taxpayers to be funding this global journey is not only wrong, but deeply offensive," Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the organization, said in a written statement. "It seems with each passing day we learn more disturbing information about this project and the people behind it. We demand that the State Department put a halt to the Imam's participation in this publicly funded trip." (Emphasis mine.)
Two lawmakers have also gone on record condemning the trip, says CNN:
Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and Peter King (R-NY), the ranking members of the Foreign Affairs and Homeland Security committees, called the State Department's funding of Rauf's trip "unacceptable," and said American taxpayers should not have to subsidize his tour.
The State Department response? Nothing to see here:
"He is a distinguished Muslim cleric," said State Department Spokesman P.J. Crowley. "We do have a program whereby, through our Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau here at the State Department, we send people from Muslim communities here in this country around the world to help people overseas understand our society and the role of religion within our society."
The State Department has "a long-term relationship" with Rauf, Crowley told reporters, noting that Rauf had visited Bahrain, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar in 2007 and went to Egypt last January as part of an exchange program run by the department's Office of International Information Programs.
"His work on tolerance and religious diversity is well-known and he brings a moderate perspective to foreign audiences on what it's like to be a practicing Muslim in the United States," Crowley said.
This admitted "long-term relationship" with Rauf makes the administration's reticence over the Ground Zero project even more curious. Given that we're footing the bill for these jaunts to the Middle East, we deserve to know a little more about this "relationship." (I'm looking at you, too, Bush.) What, exactly, ingratiated him to our government the most: Was it his refusal to call Hamas a terrorist organization, his claiming that "American political structure is 'Sharia compliant,'" laughably calling Muhammad the "first feminist" or was it implicating the United States as partially responsible for the attacks on 9/11?
Perhaps national sensitivity concerning the prospective mosque should take precedence over a taxpayer funded global religion class, long-term relationship aside? Just a thought.

I was wondering if anybody has taken or is thinking of taking an MA Applied Linguistics course. I am an English Teacher in Germany and have applied for an MA Applied Linguistics course at a Groningen University in the Netherlands. I have chosen to do this instead of the DELTA course because I think it goes into a little more depth and allows you to do a serious research assignment. However, I would be very grateful to get anyone else's views on Applied Linguistics, DELTA or any other study program you know of or have done. Also, I do not really want to return to the UK to study, but have so far only found this course in Holland on the Continent. Does anybody know of any other courses available in Continental Europe?
Thanks if you can help me at all!

Got my Loanstar ESB jumpsuit today, after a little bit more than a 2 month wait.
As far as the jumpsuit+service goes I gotta give it about a 7.5 out of 10.
I realize that people here have full time jobs and families and do runs at a sacrifice of their time and occasionally a gamble on funds (if funds are not immediately collected).
The flightsuit seemed like it was going to be pretty accurate, and that's what made me place the order. I previously owned a skygunbro, and it fit like a glove that could breathe. Unfortunately, I grew out of it and have passed it on to my cousin. Then someone pissed Jason off enough for him to leave, I know who was the final straw for him, and that's really lame of them, but it wasn't just one person that lead to his decision to leave.
So, I had to look elsewhere. The BobaMaker flightsuit, although i hear good things just didn't appeal to me. I didn't like the button setup or the collar, it also looked baggy in pictures I saw. I guess i wouldn't know unless i ordered one, but that's the reason I didn't order one of those.
Someone suggested LadySewForUs but she and her partner were on a break and hadn't started back up yet.
Then someone mentioned the loanstar run starting up.
I went for it.
The price is what brought the score down in my review. At the price (compared to what I had gotten from Jason previously and the price of other sellers on their suits) I was expecting perfection.
I though the suit was going to be double zippered as brought up in the thread, and it ended up not being.
The sleeves are about 6 inches too short, which otherwise wouldn't bother me because I can add material (which will get covered by gauntlets anyway) to make them longer. However, I got charged an XXL fee and will now have to alter it anyway.
The good?
It arrived.
The shin pockets seem good, and the thigh pockets supported my inserts.
The color is good and the fabric is decent as well. Feels like it will breathe.
I don't really mean to sound harsh on this but the suit is just good in my opinion, not amazing.
I understand it's hard to make a suit for someone that isn't in front of you to measure up, but I was really hoping for the money it'd be dead on.
If anyone has any additional questions or would really like me to post pics I'll see what I can do this week.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
havnt been on here for awhile
i just logged back into this site after not coming on here for over a year or more. i just wanted to update that i painted it in my garage, and im satified with the results. not the best ever but im happy with it considering it was my first full paint job and in a garage. cant remember how to get pictures up ill try again later
|Yep, I had a big friggen moth land smack dab in the middle of the hood on my second coat of clear once, painting my brothers (now ex) wife's Grand Prix. Dang did he make a big mess flopping around doing and doing the back stroke. I swear the critters come in looking for the high. I try to paint early am now when ever possible, while most critters are sleepin.
|i'm a DIYer for everything, 99% of my paint jobs were in a garage, but i would definately wait for warmer weather! i always wet the floor down, if i'm not using jack stands i hang a chain off the frame and let it drag on floor to keep static electricty down. i would open garage door 2' put my 4 old junk yard box fans on high, crack open the back door and go to town. you can even use those HVAC forced hot air filters for the back door to keep out the bugs. i'll never forget, one paint job many years ago, on my last coat of clear here comes freekin MOTHRA!!! rite in the hood! i've painted in a booth and there is no comparison it is night and day. expect to get a run or a sag, but nothing some buffing won't fix. and invest in a very nice resporator, and don't forget to shave when you use a resporator!!!! if you don't shave it's worthless, no seal to your face
|You can paint in your garage, but all of the opinions above apply. It's basically not a good idea. Be best to wait as suggested and let it warm up a bit. Something additionally I didn't see mentioned is that I've heard of people having problems painting in a shop/room with kerosene heater.....adhesion problems. The kerosene can leave an oily film on your vehicle.
|66 Restomod
A real booth is definitely ideal to work in with paint .
I called many shops locally and they all said they would not rent out because of insurance and liability. They would be responsible if I shot paint that was not compliant with local requirements and their insurance did not cover non employees.
The only option that I found was a local Junior College that had an auto repair course. I would have had to completed the first class before I could enroll in the 2nd class to actually paint.
Even if your confident in your abilities, I would still try to find a proper paint booth to use for painting the car. I've seen many people do DIY paint jobs in booths like that, and honestly some have come out well. Even my AutoBody Teacher has primed cars in his garage.
Saying that though you need to consider what can go wrong doing a DIY paint job. A paint shop would be happy to make some money on a day they aren't open for someone looking to paint their car themselves.
|66 Restomod
I built an outdoor paint booth when we painted the 66 Mustang last year. It worked really well and might be something to think about if you have the space.
Be sure to wear protective equipment as everyone has suggested.
Good Luck and BE Safe
|Boy O boy you said it Ken, I love working with a cocky painter ,the wait for disaster is sooo worth it... I especialy like pretending I dont know anything about it,when they dont know me and and just let them run off at the mouth about how good they are and how all the others arent that good. And their not hard to find either just go to a bodyshop. You can always pick out the painter.If they have less than 5 yrs exp I RXI ,you look like your doing a great job I love people with confidance but its the Over confidance that bites....asking questions is good .....I painted my very first car in my moms 2 car garage I've been a painter ever since....Q: Are there any over head heating ducts in your garage or any ducts anywhere in there?
|i do have alot of confidence if i didn't i wouldn't have started a project like this. unfortunatly my confidence doesn't always match my skills. i get told every day at work that im over confident. i do make mistakes but i always feel thats its better to get into something with confidence and not be nervous about doing it. not being confident and being nervous just makes you make mistakes. just my opinion
Ohhh oh, confidence. Just when you get a bit too much of that or start to think you got it down, or thinking its easy, something will happen to cut you down to size, and make you think your a rookie holding a spray gun for the first time again.
Try a search for positive pressure booth. Many do use that sort of setup, and suppose to keep dust from blowing out of cracks or poor seals, and your not drawing paint and solvent through a fan motor. Lots of booth setup information to be found in past threads here.
|I'm fairly confident with my abbility to spray down a nice paint job. I've painted a lot of things mainly production machines which the apperance wasn't to important but it made me very comfortable with a spray gun in my hand. The inside of my cab the dash inside of my door and the underside of my hood all turned out very good I'm not a pro but I'm confident with my ability to do the paint on this vechile. I'm probably am going to have to wait til spring to paint it. Have anybody ever made/used a pressure booth with air blowing into the booth and some ducts going out. My dad sujested that I make a temporary booth like that. it seems to me that it'd blow stuff around a lot.
As others have said getting a good paint job even with all the proper equipment is difficult! Pros will mess up too!
However I've seen many people do complete paint jobs in their garages. Some people do a good job..... but ..... the majority usually make some pretty big mistakes. If you really want a DIY Paint Job I would suggest getting some Water-Borne paint. The Reason: If you mess up the paint job you can get a wet cloth and wipe it off! It might be more expensive since the paint isn't common yet, but worth if for DIYer.
Another thing you could do is try to find a shop that would let you use their booth during the weekend. You might need to pay them something. If there is a local high school or community college with an Auto-Body program, you could offer your car for demonstration. Usually they don't use their booths as much shops do, so you might have more flexibility.

I'm having a hard time imagining you being able to pull it off in ND in December. I always wait for the right temp and overall conditions to shoot. You must have good ventilation, which to me is both garage doors open. As a garage painter myself, I urge you to wait until ambient temps are going to be above 60 degrees for at least 8 hours or so. BTW too hot or too windy will tank your job too. I tried to shoot clear on a 90 degree day with stiff, dry wind, and first, the clear was DRY before hitting the panels, and second, most of it went everywhere but the car. I was using the slowest activator, too.
Lots of stuff to bite you in the a__ when you're a garage painter. Waiting can save a lot of time, effort, and especially money, trust me.

Loks Awesome Illya!! I am itching to get my receiver. any word on the semi parts?
Completed the build up of the semi Vltor PKM receiver assembly. This thing is a beast of a stamped receiver. Used some Plinker's riveting tools that I modified and fab'd up a couple new riveting bars to fill in where Plinker could not go on the PKM. Rivets/receiver countersunk on the rear trunnion and barrel trunnion. Still need to make or buy the semi parts (modify bolt, bolt carrier and the FCG) to make this thing go boom. Here's a few photos.
Sorry Pirate, didn't drag out the tripod this time
- edited photos to better show receiver rivets

Alright, alright....WHERE DO I GET ONE OF THESE KITS AND RECEIVERS.
Dont mess with me boys....I NEED one of these.
And I thought I had the fever before I saw your photos. Any build pictures in progress?

Thanks guys for the kind words. This build is one I've really wanted to do for some time now.
Haven't heard any word on when semi parts will be available. Been riveting, grinding, welding bucking bars and cursing all week putting this thing together. Need to check into when semi parts will hit the market. Also been toying with trying my hand at it - at least the concept seems straight forward (so much for concepts anyways).
Not sure who still has the unissued Hungarian PKM parts kits. I got this one a while back. Saw Ammunitions store has the good condition Romanian kits. Could always but out a WTB ad on the sites and see what turns up. PK Firearms has the Vltor semi receivers and I understand Wise Lite will also have some soon. Hold on to your wallet if you take the plunge on this project - I'm in at around $2600 and still need the semi parts.
Sorry, no in progress photos taken. Really just a straight forward rivet job. Problem is having to develop the unique bucking bars, etc as you go along. Plinker762 has been toying with the idea of producing some tools
Did I do that?
Can you show us your tool? Errrrrr, I mean your rivet tools.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > The State as Partner: Why and How International NGOs Bring the State Back In. Frontline with Faculty Series.
Critics contend that NGOs often usurp the role of states by providing crucial services in developing countries, which can have significant economic, social, and political consequences for local communities. And many NGOs eschew any state involvement in their work, citing problems with corruption, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and political manipulation. Here Professor Kay examines why some NGOs view the state as a key partner and stakeholder and how they build relationships with states at the local, regional, and national levels. http://hausercenter.harvard.edu/?p=2022 Tamara Kay is Associate Professor of Sociology and Co-Director of Harvard's Transnational Studies Initiative. Her work centers on the political and legal implications of regional economic integration, transnationalism, and global governance. She is interested in how organizations and social movements — particularly labor and environmental movements, and NGOs and non-profits — respond and adapt to processes of regional economic integration and globalization. She is the author of NAFTA and the Politics of Labor Transnationalism, published in 2011 by Cambridge University Press as part of the Cambridge Studies in Contentious Politics series, and has published in the American Journal of Sociology and the American Sociological Review, among other journals.

Wittenberg Series Presents Annual Lessons And Carols For Advent And Christmas Dec. 13
Published Dec. 5, 2013
Springfield, Ohio – The 2013-14 Wittenberg Series continues at 7:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 13, with the annual Lessons and Carols for Advent and Christmas service at Wittenberg University's Weaver Chapel. The event is free and open to the public, with pre-service music starting at 7 p.m.
Music will be provided by more than 125 musicians, including the Wittenberg Choir and the Wittenberg Singers, Visiting Assistant Professor of Music Jimmy Shepherd, director; the Wittenberg Handbell Choir, Professor Emerita of Music Trudy Faber, director; the Wittenberg Flute Choir, Adjunct Instructor of Music Lori Akins, director; and the Wittenberg Chamber Orchestra, Associate Professor of Music Brandon Jones, director. University Organist and Adjunct Instructor of Music David Crean and Adjunct Instructor Diane Slagle, piano, will accompany the choirs.
The chapel is prepared by David B. and Carol Matevia Endowed University Pastor Rachel Tune. Lucas McSurley, class of 2014 from Wilmington, Ohio, will serve as cantor for this year's service.
As in past years, the ceremony begins with the Service of Light, at which time the chapel is enveloped in darkness and gradually illuminated by hundreds of candles. The Wittenberg Bell Choir plays a series of "change rings" as the opening procession takes place and Weaver Chapel slowly becomes illuminated.
The choral music in the 2013 Lessons and Carols for Advent and Christmas service includes What Sweeter Music by Eleanor Daley, and two pieces arranged by Paul Caldwell and Sean Ivory, Children, Go Where I Send Thee, and Hope for Resolution. In addition, the Handbell Choir will play Carol of the Bells, written by Ukranian composer Mykola Leontovych, from a type of folk chant known as Schedrivky and originally used to celebrate the coming of the New Year or Epiphany. It begins softly with a single bell ringing, then builds in intensity until all the bells are ringing with a fullness of joy and gladness.
The 2013 service will also feature a harpist with the Wittenberg Chamber Orchestra. Mary Beth Bechler, class of 2017 from Golden, Colo., will play a solo in the pre-service music based on the Christian folk hymn, I Wonder as I Wander, arranged by Carlos Salzedo. The Wittenberg Flute Choir, Chamber Orchestra and Handbell Choir will also share music before the service begins.
In its 31st year, the Wittenberg Series continues to bring distinguished lecturers and performing artists of national and international prominence to the Wittenberg campus and Springfield community. To make special arrangements, reserve a Series poster, or become a friend of the Wittenberg Series, call 937-206-3539 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

'Delighted' Steve Bould is keen to harness the undoubted talent of Emmanuel Frimpong - but not too much.
The Ghana-born midfielder, who is nine days younger than teenage sensation Jack Wilshere, turned in a superb shift in the Under-18s' engine room during their victory over Wolves in the FA Youth Cup on Tuesday night. After the game, Bould rated Frimpong's performance as his best yet.
The 17-year-old's tireless shift in the middle of the park was peppered with some ferocious long-range efforts. And, although he does not encourage it, Bould conceded that he won't have many complaints if Frimpong continues to test the goalkeeper.
"He keeps having a slash at goal and we tell him not to but he keeps hitting the target," Bould said after the victory. "He can get a bit carried away sometimes because he's a young boy who's learning. He's growing up and we're delighted with his development.
"I thought he was excellent in terms of his defensive side which is something we've worried about a little bit. But, for me, that was his best game and we're delighted."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

After completing a year on the Mock Trial team in high school, Courtney was in love. When she started her college search, she decided she wanted to find a college in New England with a Mock Trial team. Then she found RWU. "I fell in love with the campus. There was a legal studies program, a Mock Trial team AND an equestrian team, not to mention a law school right on campus."
Courtney also worked with Assistant Professor of Legal Studies Tricia Martland and 12 other students in a legal clinic in Newport, R.I. "We trained in the classroom for a month-and-a-half before we went to the courthouse. We learned why some people are more likely to abuse their families or to drink, and how the cycle of violence works. We gave counsel to clients, spoke in front of judges and learned how to file an affidavit and restraining orders. Not many undergraduates have this opportunity—it's unbelievable to have this experience. It's mostly a privilege for law students."
Courtney also found time to study abroad for a mini-mester in Guatemala and take on a semester-long internship in Washington, D.C., at Georgetown Law, which is impressive given her long list of campus activities: Mock Trial, equestrian team, Spanish Honor Society Alpha Chi, Pre Law Honor Society Phi Alpha Delta, International Honor Society and the German Honor Society.
After graduation Courtney began her new academic career -- attending law school at Widener in Wilmington, Del. "Leaving RWU is so bittersweet. I don't want to leave, but I guess it's time. I definitely had the upper hand over less experienced students in D.C. during my internship. I already knew how to perform research and how to conduct myself in a courtroom. RWU prepared me for this"

Citation: Sun Phil, C., Sung Phil, K., Seok Hyun, N., Friedman, M. 2012. Antitumor effects of dietary black and brown rice brans in tumor-bearing mice: relationship to composition. Molecular Nutrition and Food Research. 57(3):390-400. doi: 10.1002/mnfr.201200515. Interpretive Summary: Pigmented rice brans from whole grain are rich sources of a large number of bioactive compounds. The results of the present and previous studies suggest that dietary black rice bran and to a lesser extent brown rice bran might contribute to the prevention and therapy of human cancers and possibly other diseases. The results of our studies on beneficial effects of pigmented brans have elicited widespread interest including communication from rice farmers in Northern California. They were particularly interested in recently published ARS research on the benefits of black rice bran. Representatives from the growers association met with ARS researchers at the Western Regional Research Center to further discuss and exchange ideas about the possibility of growing black rice in California as a value-added crop. The growers agreed that this is worthwhile objective that has the potential to benefit the health of consumers and the US farm economy.
Technical Abstract: Scope: We investigated the effects of oral feeding of a mouse diet supplemented with 10% (w/w) pigmented black bran from the rice variety Oryza sativa cv. LK1-3-6-12-1-1 and 10% (w/w) nonpigmented brown bran from the commercial rice Oryza sativa cv. Chuchung as an internal control on the growth of transplanted tumors in mice. Methods and results: Mice fed standard diets with added rice brans for 2 weeks with the control diet were intracutaneously inoculated with CT-26 mouse colon cancer cells and fed the same diet for 2 additional weeks. Compared to the control diet, tumor mass was 35% lower in the black rice bran-fed group and 19% lower in the brown rice bran group. Tumor growth inhibition was associated with the following biomarkers: increases in cytolytic activity of splenic natural killer (NK) cells; partial restoration of nitric oxide (NO) production and phagocytosis in peritoneal macrophages; increases in released pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), and IL-6 from macrophages; increases in infiltration of leukocyte, probably neutrophils, into the tumor; and reduction in the number of blood vessels inside the tumor (anti-angiogenesis). Pro-angiogenic biomarkers including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) were also significantly reduced in mRNA and protein expression. Enzyme-linked-immunosorbent assays (ELISA) of tumor cells confirmed reduced expression of COX-2 and 5-LOX up to 23%. Reduced COX-2 and 5-LOX expression downregulated VEGF and inhibited neoangiogenesis inside the tumors. Conclusions: Induction of NK activity, activation of macrophages, increase in leukocyte infiltration, and inhibition of angiogenesis seem to contribute to the inhibitory mechanism of tumor regression by black rice bran. Dietary black rice bran has the potential to protect against cancer in humans.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
PORTLAND, Ore. – With the addition of four new sports, the Multnomah University Athletic Department is pleased to announce the selection of four coaches: Tom Stephens, Tim Bieri, David Lee and Daniel Jarvie.
Stephens will coach men's soccer. Stephens grew up in Spokane, Wash., where he played four years ofhigh school soccer and competed for the Olympic Development Washington East Team. Stephens continued playing at Washington State University for two years. He's also an alumnus of Multnomah, where he played on the club soccer team for two years while earning his graduate certificate.
Stephens has been successfully coaching at the high school level for 15 years. He has compiled a record of 151-68-10 with four conference championships, eight OSAA state championship appearances and one state championship. He's also a four-time conference Coach of the Year and was named the state's Coach of the Year in 2007.
Bieri will coach women's basketball. In college, Bieri played basketball and earned a full-ride scholarship to Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colo. While at Fort Lewis, Bieri broke the school record for most points in a career and was named an NCAA Division II All-American in his senior season.
After college, Bieri decided to pursue a life of ministry and became involved with News Release Basketball, a Christian basketball mission organization. Bieri has played, coached and served with News Release for the past 10 years. He has been working at Multnomah since 2010 and has coached women's volleyball at Multnomah for the past three years.
Lee will coach men's and women's cross country. Lee spent about half of his coaching career at Oregon City High School, where the track and field program was known for team championships and individual excellence. His athletes left their names on the record boards at every level: school, district, state and the Golden West Invitational. In the 1980s, "Who's Who" named him Coach of the Year. His 1988 team still ranks as one of Oregon's top dual-meet teams. Even more successful were his cross-country teams, which accrued five state meet trophies, including a state championship in 1996.
For the past 13 years, Lee has coached at Warner Pacific College in Portland, Ore., where he helped launch the cross country and track and field programs.
Jarvie will coach men's and women's golf. Jarvie brings a wealth of experience and a passion for mentoring to the team. He won the Seattle City Junior Championship in 1982, and he qualified for the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championships in 1982 and 1984. He was a member of Scottsdale Junior College golf team, which won the 1983 Junior College National Championship, and later played Division I golf for the University of Washington in 1985 and 1986. He set the tournament record of 64 in the 1992 Seattle City Amateur Championship.
After a brief stint playing professionally, including the Nike Tour (1995) and the PGA Tour Qualifying School (1996), Jarvie decided to devote his time to teaching the game. He is a master level instructor who received his training from legendary PGA Tour Instructor Jimmy Ballard. Jarvie has held director of instruction positions, taught at national golf schools and served as assistant coach for UC Irvine's Division I men's golf team.

I very rarely come to the Car Lounge, but I thought I'd try to get other's takes on this topic. It would seem that the latest version of VW's Beetle could turn out to be a flop. It's not doing nearly as well as the New Beetle of 1998-2010.
Granted, the 2012s just came out, and when the first New Beetle was introduced in 1998, that was after the US went 19 years without a Beetle, so it sold like hotcakes in its first couple of model years. But...even after the fanfare of the first water-cooled Beetles wore off, they still managed to average around 30-35K US sales a year. In the end, something like 1.2 million New Beetles sold worldwide from 1998-2010.
Puebla is currently having production issues with 2012 Sunroof models and they are on backorder for months. Meanwhile, most buyers of the few Beetles that have been sold are going for the more expensive Turbo models, which leaves most of the base models sitting on lots .
In January, VW sold exactly 1401 Beetles in the US. They sold about 1500 in December. At this pace, the 2012 model will be lucky to see 20k units sold by year's end. Considering that the NBs of 98-10 did a lot better, this paints a scary picture for the future of water-cooled Bugs. If the 2900 or so Beetles that have been sold since December are inclusive of all the people who are experiencing back order issues, this means that sales numbers for this 2012 Beetle are pathetic.
A new, reskinned model of any make of car should be selling better than its predecessor, and with the 2012 Beetle, this is not happening. I always thought that eventually, water-cooled Beetles would become as iconic as the original air-cooled Bugs, and many people thought I was nuts for saying that. Well, as it turns out, they may have been right all along!
The question that comes to mind is this: Will VW keep soldiering on with a Beetle model if the 2012+ only sells half of what they did with the NBs of 98-10, or will it be killed again?
Is the water-cooled Beetle community an endangered species?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
About To Do It Questions
I had 2 ideas to answer 2 other questions you asked early on in the posting. The first is about a fitting for pressure water at dock side. The answer is a Jabsco 44410-1000 pressure regulator (about $25 at Boatersworld.com). It allows for the attachment of a hose and installs in the freshwater system after the pressure pump. All you need are a "t" and a shutoff to seperate the 2 incoming water sources (the pressure pump and the new "dock" pressure water. It does require drilling a hole in the hull somewhere, but that''s part of the adventure. The second helpful tidbit is for the condensation. My boat is in North Carolina and we have the most humidity of any place on the planet. We bought a dehumidifer from Home Depot for about $125 and it keeps the boat dry. No moisture problems when it''s closed up, but there is an ongoing electrical cost. Drain the hose into the bilge, or a 5 gallon bucket in a cockpit locker, or down the head sink.
About To Do It Questions
Take the length of your boat, multiply by $45, and that''s the cost for a total of 6 winter months (divide by 6 to get your monthly rate); similarly, multiply the length x $95 to get the total slip fee for 6 summer months.
I use wireless internet on the boat primarily so that I can access the internet from across the channel at the pool (about 150 feet); I added a ''pringles can'' antenna to get greater range.
About To Do It Questions
Sorry, but what are your slip fees- $4.50 & $9.50? Does anyone in the DC area use wireless internet? How''s it work?
About To Do It Questions
Slip is rented in 6 months increments. Off-season is $45/foot and on-season is $95/foot. There are cheaper alternatives, but not by much. Electric is 20cents/kwhr...which is one of the reasons I chose kerosene...which is by far the best choice for me.
About To Do It Questions
Thanx for the followup, Jack, and glad you''re having fun! We DO know what you mean about taking hours to get ready to sail. I wonder if this is a special burden for those who work from ''home'' and/or have land jobs requiring dress-up clothes? A dear friend, liveaboard for almost 20 years, says if he''s not ready to sail in 15 minutes notice, anytime, he''s not doing it right. Of course, he doesn''t live in a marina in an East Coast winter ... it takes, it seems, 15 minutes just to disconnect and stow the Big Yellow Cord and the landline (*smile*).
How are you doing with condensation? Our boat was not made for this climate, everything we can reach spends the winter with silver bubblewrap ("Reflectix" from Home Depot) taped over ... prompting a friend to dub us "The couple who sees everything with a silver lining."

Just wondering, what is the cost per month of your slip in NY? Also what is cost of electric and phone and internet?? Thanks
About To Do It Questions
OK, so since I started this thread back in July, I thought it was time to report back. Before doing so, I invite the reader to read the entire thread including posts by a guy who''s nickname rhymes with thread and determine for yourself how much to believe, even if it''s written in ''faux-pirate''.
I moved to Long Island Sound, 1/2 hour from Manhattan on Labor Day weekend on my 35 foot Dufour. The last leg of the sail started in Stratford, CT. I set my waypoint for my new home harbor in Westchester County, NY and then looked at the horizon for something to steer towards. Off in the distance, was a spire...dead on course...it took about another 1/2 hour to realize that my heading was the Empire State Building! I have to admit that, even before 9/11, that site always made me smile...on this day, it evoked a chuckle.
After getting settled at the dock, I was able to secure phone service, DSL and cable. The question of heat still lingered. My next door neighbors (liveaboards with lots of experience and a 3 year old daughter) convinced me to buy a Monitor kerosene heater (Model 422 - 20,000 BTUs) and I installed a gravity feed line with fuel filter from a 9 gallon tank mounted on deck. I also bought a 1500 watt inverter so as to have heat in the event of a power outage...impossible with electric heat. In November I had only the cockpit shrink wrapped (to give me a ''Florida Room'' as ''Big Thread'' would call it) and a place to take off wet shoes.
Based on the recommendation of one of the replies in this thread, I installed a Lectra/San head system and am delighted with it. I''ve bought some of their odor treatment (you have to be careful what you add due to hyrdrochloric acid) and it has been odor and trouble free. Due to the relatively low salinity of Long Island Sound and the low salt content of cold water, I''ve been adding a jigger of salt (aaaaaarrrrrgh, Jimmy Buffett...I''ve got it here in the REAL paradise) to every 3rd or 4th flush following the ''if it''s mellow, let it yellow....'' rubric.
The heater works mostly at 25% capacity (right now for example and it''s 26 degrees out) since it''s more than adequate and the shrink-wrapped cockpit gets up to 70 degrees easily even when it''s 20 degrees outside.
Since moving here we''ve had the remnants of Hurricane Isobel, a storm with gale force winds, numerous days with temperatures hovering around 0 degrees, a couple of snow storms and I love it!!!!
I love New Yorkers...yeah, I know their reputation, but, from the experience of guy who grew up in a small town and felt part of a community there, I have to tell you that New Yorkers are a special breed...kind, open, smart, willing to help and funny. I have NEVER been treated this well anywhere I''ve lived...including Florida aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh.
If I had to do it over again, I would''ve bought a boat with standing room in the V-berth and Aft-berth. I''ve set up my bunk in the main salon and it''s become a giant sofa during the day for reading, doing client calls and, at night, time to catch up on my Tivo-ed programs.
My next major challenge is to begin organizing and securing my ''stuff'' to be able to sail without having to do hours of work to secure my home/office items.
If anyone is considering living aboard in a cold climate, I''d offer this advice:
1) Make sure you don''t try it alone...neighbors make the process so much easier...everyone helps everyone else and the griping about having to fill the water tanks when it''s snowing and 0 degrees turns into an excuse to get together for dinner later.
2) Heat. ''nuf said. I wouldn''t go with electric due to the cost and the difficulty in getting the space warm and dry and the risk of a power outage. The Monitor kerosene heater is efficient, inexpensive to operate, no fumes, very little risk - you can put a match to kerosene and nothing will happen...other than people running away from you as if you''re crazy.
3) Smile...it''ll be an adventure
4) Ignore pirates...they have waaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands...probably the result of not spending time reading their voter instructions during the last presidential elections...Hullo...it''s a card with names on it and you punch out the chad next to the name you like...geesh.
Be well,
About To Do It Questions
I am planning to cruise with my 33ft boat from the Black Sea to Germany via the Danube river (upstreams). Has anybody done it? even downstream. All input welcome trying to collect info, up to now very little available except to good books.
About To Do It Questions
Ahoy ye scoundrels. dis ere Pirate be getting right testy about youse simple minded peace loving dandys. You should not live on a boat unless you are going somewhere and plan to use the vessel for something other than a coat rack. Your trendy solution to not being able to afforde housing in New York dosen''t excuse the simple fact that your plan has more uncomfortable holes in it than swiss cheese. Youse can get a nice motor home and avoid all the wet questions altogether, or better yet why don''t you look into a used plane you could move into at JFK. Pirate of Pine Island
About To Do It Questions
I am sure the earler posters meant well and were trying to give you some idea of the issues that might arise but...you really should have no problem. 35ft is large enough to have adequate ventilation and small enough to be serviced by a couple small cheap space heaters. The West Marine space heaters at $50 are no better than the $15 ones you can find at hardware stores. Best to get the better ceramic ones though for safety.
Condensation....a problem in FLA, but not in the Northeast. I kept my boat in the water through DEC into JAN, did nothing special and stayed aboard every weekend (got down to the 20''s here in MD). Never a problem....by and large because colder air IS much drier. Humidity is much much lower in the colder months in NE. Don''t sweat it. But....DO have good ventilation (my boat has two dorades and two mushroom vents ...and yes, I do need to close these when I want it warmer)...but...you could also keep the boat a relatively uniform temp and had no problems with humidity. Again...an electric space heater helps here as it produces no water vapor the way other fuel heaters can. And no CO to worry about.
As for boats being wet....there really is no reason why a boat should be wet, at the dock especially. I have had quite a few boats and the wet ones were the old cheap tired ones. A newer boat kept in GOOD condition (and that takes work....replacing old plumbing, making sure the keel bolts are secure and not leaking, installing a dripless shaft seal etc) should not have any water in it at all, not in the bilge not anywhere. It can be done.
SO, easy....keep a fan on low, just to move air around. Get two or three (if you want one for the head) cheap electric space heaters (but suggest you only use ONE specially protected ceramic one to keep on during the day). To be completely on the safe side...probably best to have all the space heaters be ceramic.
I also don''t think you should have a problem with the Dufour and insulation. Don''t bother unless you do. Your inner cabin must be lined with something on that boat...it is not just naked glass is it? I would not think so on that boat. Also...I am not sure...but Dufours of that vintage may be balsa cored...that will help also. Jeff H will know more about this.
And yes, keep your dress clothes in your car.
Don''t worry, lots of people are doing this with no problems. Its not a big deal.
Hope this helps

First off, welcome to a GREAT forum. I'll start by saying that 9mm is sufficient for a defense load. I have shot Glocks and own 2 XD's now. The Glocks have a lower bore axis which some say creates more muzzle flip in the XD's than the Glocks, but it's not sufficient enough for me to notice a difference. As far as the recoil being worse in the Glocks because of it's weight, I also don't think that it's enough of a difference to make it noticeable, especially to a newer shooter. Both are very reliable guns and I don't think you could go wrong with either. If money is an object, you can find XD's for quite a bit less than the Glock's, but if not then I wouldn't make money a deciding factor. If you can, I would suggest trying to find somewhere where you can rent them and shoot them both as that would most likely help you make your decision more than anything else. If you cannot rent and/or shoot them both then I don't know what more to say I hope that helps a little. More people with more experience will be in with more input for ya.
Edit: I forgot to add that 9mm is also quite a bit cheaper to shoot than 40S&W and 45ACP

Questions about the game, as well as vouching
For as long as I've been playing airsoft I've been drooling over videos of Irene and Lion Claws, hoping my friends and I would get the chance to go to at least one of them someday. Luckily for us, Red Storm East is going to be in Scranton this year, which is great because we're an hour drive away from the area
After reading up, it looks like since we're non-Alumni, we'll need a veteran to vouch for us. I was hoping I could post here about it and see if someone would be kind enough to help my friends and I out. We are all responsible 18 year olds who have been itching to play at a OPLCMSS game for awhile now. We are also all referees at Skirmish USA in Jim Thorpe PA, if anyone here has ever played there, we may even have been one of your refs for the day you went there! But being a referee, I understand what it's like to deal with immature and / or irresponsible players, and I can promise that my group and I are responsible, mature players who are looking to get their first Lion Claws game under their belts, so we can hopefully attend more games in the summer after we graduate from high school. If anyone would be willing to help us out, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I have questions regarding the uniform requirements for the game. For the US team, would I be able to wear tan kit, with a tan helmet, with Multicam? Same thing with the Russian team, would I be able to wear my tan gear and tan helmet with the Russian camo? Or am I restricted to pure Russian styled gear?
Thanks for any help

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that after this final Creed that I have in stock sells, I won't be bringing any more Creeds in stock.
1) Vanguard sold the distribution rights for the Creed to Kee Action Sports.
2) That means, I can't buy Creeds at wholesale from Vanguard directly any more, I HAVE to buy them through KEE.
3) In order to become a KEE dealer, (I am only a Vanguard dealer) you have to have a PHYSICAL STOREFRONT .
4) I do not meet that requirement, as I sell them online only (I run FPS out of my house).
5) Therefore, I cannot buy any more Creeds, so I can't sell any more Creeds. I'm done.
It's been fun guys, thanks to all that have supported me and bought Creed markers from me.
I will still remain active and will of course still assist my existing customers with anything they need such as getting them parts or if they need help getting in touch with Vanguard or anything like that.
Factory Paintball Supplies was just a small little project that I did for fun. It gave me some real world business experience, like sales, advertising, customer service, importing, exporting, wholesale, business relations, and more. It was a major learning experience for me, and a lot of fun. I didn't make a ton of money off of it, as Creeds were the ONLY thing I sold (aside from a couple barrels and little parts here and there), so I had to take all my operating expenses (taxes/lisences/fees/website hosting/advertsing/etc.) right out of those profits alone. It was a ton of fun to do though, really enjoyed it. I hope everyone is enjoying their Creeds! I think they are, as I really havent gotten any negative feedback, pretty much everyone loves them. I know I sure love mine! (Oh yeah, I got a Creed out of it, too. )
Thanks everyone!
P.S. If anyone wants the last Creed (Black, V2), please PM me ASAP, as I imagine it will sell pretty quick. The last few before it went rather fast.

This week, Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel offers a special bonus in addition to her Nameberry 9 names in the news.
One of the arguments against unusual names is this: "But she won't find anything with her name on it!"
That's never really been true, and it is certainly less true now than ever before. Technology is a part of the change, but so is something more old-school: the countless Etsy shops, all featuring makers of unique hand-crafted items.
Call your child Viggo or James, it doesn't much matter – Etsy artisans can get a personalized superhero vest, tee shirt, lunchbox, and more to you in just a matter of days.
In celebration of this exciting way for daring baby namers to counter grandparents' fears, we have a give-away. One lucky reader will score a set of twenty bookplates from Etsy shop My Kids Eat Off the Floor. Shop owner Kate is the mom to three fantastically named daughters herself: Tempe, Helena, and Juno.
