|Beautiful print by Yellow Button Studio.
So it's been almost 9 months since I last hit that "new post" button. Almost enough time to incubate and birth a baby, which, I think, is pretty fitting for today's dialogue.
Some of you might remember when I participated in a wonderful blogger challenge called "Things I'm Afraid to Tell You" back in 2012, championed by Ez of Creature Comforts. That post (which I would love for you to read, including the wonderful responses) was so very freeing for me to write, but it was also a catalyst for the long period of silence that began this past January (totally unplanned, but, I see now, very necessary).
In that space in 2012, I felt I could finally express my dissatisfaction with what blogs have become. To name a few things (backed up by several of your responses and continuing conversations I have had with so many other young women), I feel a lot (not all, mind you) blogs have become:
If only I could be that put together. If only my house were that pretty. If only I could afford those Anthropologie pillows.
The wonders of everything being shot and styled by professional photographers.
I got SO tired of reading something only to find it out was a "sponsored" post.
Look at me! Like what I like! Love what I love!
Reading DIY after DIY, and totally loving them, but then after a while you start to feel like people are just DIYing everything and now there isn't a reason for you to tap into your own creative juices because that other person already did it and it was way cuter than what you were thinking, so why exercise that part of my brain?
Now, as I mentioned before, I don't think all blogs are this way, and I'm sure there are people out there who don't agree with anything I just said, and that is just fine. There is certainly space for everyone's thoughts. But for me, for the next year and a half after that post, these feelings grew, and I gradually stopped reading blogs. Then I started to lose interest in my own, because it just didn't feel like "me" anymore; it felt like a shell of the other blogs I wanted to be, so of course I was uninspired! Finally, I decided that, until I could find my voice again, and have a clear picture of what I wanted it to be, I just needed to let it go. And I did. And it felt great.
Afterward, I focused all my energy on the brick-and-mortar store, which, I am happy to say, celebrated its first anniversary this past September (yay!). It has been on of the most challenging, heartbreaking, exciting, creative things I've ever done, and as the store eases into its second year, I have no shortage of ideas for how to keep pushing and evolving it. And that is where we come to today's post.
During this hiatus, the blog was always in the back of my mind, and I've tried very hard to think of what I want it to be and become:
I want it to be encouraging.
I want it to be empowering.
I want it to make you smile.
I want it to inspire you.
I want it to challenge you (in a good way).
And, of course, I want to use it to share my love of vintage.
All that said, I have some ideas that I'm really excited about, but it's a fruitless effort without asking for — and open-heartedly inviting — your feedback.
So, go on; let me have it. I want to hear what you love about blogs. What you don't. What inspires you. What's important to you. What you love about vintage (or if you don't know anything about it!). What keeps you going back to the bloggers you've come to love. Issues (especially as women) you feel strongly about. Anything you can think of that you want to share!
In the meantime, I'll keep brewing ideas, too, and we'll see what comes out of the oven. ;-)

AppleStore shut for 'update' - new kit coming?
Watch this space
Apple's online AppleStore - it's US incarnation, at least - has temporarily shut its doors to customers pending an update. This typically happens when the Mac maker's just about to announce new products.
As we wrote earlier, it's unlikely to be a new, smaller, cheaper iPhone, but in this business you never say never.
The most likely change will be the debut of the anticipated new aluminium iMac enclosure, rumoured to be due mid-July to mid-August.
But we shouldn't rule out the possibility of the appearance of the ultra-slim, potentially Flash-based MacBook Pro, though most moles appear to maintain is due to debut later this year.
Whatever Apple has up its corporate sleeve, Register Hardware will bring you the details as soon as they emerge.

Kast Fabrics is the fabric supplier for our premium fabric range. They have their own website displaying their very extensive range. It is a trade only website, however it is possible to browse their fabrics, go to www.kastfabrics.com. Note that papasan cushions will require an additional seam across them if the fabric you choose is less than 59" wide. We have access to all of the fabrics on the Kast Fabrics website, however price may vary to our disclosed prices, as it will depend on the type of fabric that you select. Note also that by choosing one of these fabrics then you must also select the deluxe style of cushion, which will be at a similar price or greater than our quoted Premium fabrics. Feel free to contact us in this regard should you require any further information.
Unfortunately we do not have any fabric swatches to offer you, as we only have the swatch booklets that our fabrics supplier has provided to us, and our manufacturer is involved in the manufacture our cushions only, not in the sending out of swatches. If you e-mail us with details of the fabrics which you are interested in, then we are happy to e-mail to you larger images of the swatches that we have.
Please e-mail us for further details if you wish to supply your own fabric. Fabrics are manufactured in widths which normally vary from 44 inches wide to 60 inches wide. Unless the fabric you supply is 59" wide, then single and double papasan cushions and covers will require an additional seam across them. Note, the seam is placed along the row of buttons making it barely noticeable once the cushion is in the papasan frame. Please read our guidelines if you are supplying fabrics with images which only allow the fabric to be displayed vertically. Ordering information and our guide regarding the recommended types of fabrics for our products are all detailed below. Prices below include delivery, and are for the DELUXE style of cushion.
* For the double papasan cushion, if the fabric you select is less than 60" wide, then we normally place a horozontal seam across the cushion, which means that if you choose a fabric which can only be positioned one way because images on the fabric all run in one direction, then it will result in the images being displayed sideways when the double papasan cushion is placed in the frame. If you wish to provide a fabric where the images all run in one direction only, then we can place two vertical seams down the double papasan cushion, which will result in the fabrics all being displayed upright once the cushion is in the papasan frame. In this case, please provide 7.5 yards of fabric.
Own Fabric Guide
Please ensure that fabric is not too thin or lightweight; it needs to be medium weight or heavier to be suitable for furnishings. Also drapary fabric with a thermal warmth backing is unsuitable, as it is not breathable and may cause the cushions to sweat if chair is placed in a sunny position. Fabric with no more than 4% stretch can be used. Waterproof fabric can be used for UNFILLED papasan cushion covers only. Unfortunately we are unable to use non-breathable fabrics for filled cushions because they can weaken at the seams when we machine blow the filling into them.
When providing your own fabric, we cannot guarantee it to be free of defects, however we will notify you immediately if we notice any flaws. Please note that should you send to us fabrics which are unsuitable for the manufacture of cushions or are not cut to the correct length, then they will be returned to you, at your cost. We are happy to return any surplus fabric remnants if you prefer.

Former Oklahoma center Gabe Ikard signed as an undrafted free agent with the Titans this weekend, and it sounds like he's ready to get out of college. On a radio show last week, Ikard revealed that OU made both him and his girlfriend sign affidavits declaring that their love is real and not an impermissible benefit.
Ikard is a familiar face at OKC Thunder games, sitting courtside with his girlfriend. She owns those seats, so Oklahoma's compliance office decided to start snooping around to confirm everything was on the up-and-up. "We had to sign a signed affidavit that she was not dating me just because I was a football player," Ikard said, via SoonerScoop. The implication is clear: Oklahoma was just making sure the entire relationship wasn't just a sham to get Ikard Thunder tickets.
Ikard was caught up in OU's self-reported violation for providing players "pasta in excess," so he knows a thing or two about overzealous compliance offices. He and his girlfriend signed the affidavits, and Ikard says he told the compliance officer, "She just likes big guys, just accept it."
Ikard tells the story around the one-minute mark of this WWLS interview:

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded The Re-Up, 4m 47sec
Nicki Minaj
They'll never thank me for opening doors
But they ain't even thank Jesus when he died on the cross
Cause your spirit is ungrateful
Bitches is so hateful, I remain a staple
My career's been the pinkprint
When I retire, tell 'em think pink
Pink Friday is the imprint
And these bitches basic, instinct
Oh shit, my commercial's on
Did I really body bitches with commercial songs?
Did I really prophecy every thing I do?
But before I continue let me thank my crew
So that was Young Wayne, Mack Maine, Baby and Slim came
Tezz and EI told me it wouldn't be in vain
Cause prior to me signing I could've went insane
And even now I think, "Do I really want this fame?"
Let me get up and go, 700 to go overseas for a show
Everybody get quiet when I'm starting the show
Man, I'm birthing these artists and I'm starting to show
[Chorus: x2]
I feel free, I feel freedom
Why they mad? You should see them
Burn an L cause it's crazy in here
Crazy in here, crazy in here
Who I wanna work with? Nobody! 99% of them is nobody
Bitches acting like they killing shit, OK
When I check these bitches guns, no bodies
These niggas is fake fucks and opportunists
Niggas spend they last dime to say the copped the soonest
Why these niggas going broke to get your approval?
Pretty soon, they'll be back up on them Ramen Noodles
B-B-B-bible, Queen is the title
And if you are my rival, then that means you're suicidal
And if you in the club then it's a Young Money recital
I'm just that vital, I'm busy, never idle
I'm ya idol, I'm ya idol, I'm ya mothafuckin' idol
Pink Friday in Macy's, thongs and some pasties
(Yo, what other female rapper perfume in here? Cause I must've missed it)
12 milli to kick my feet up, get ready this is the Re-up
Mirror, mirror, won't you realize? I just have to decide
What you hiding from? What you hiding from?
Hiding baby
Would you, would you, give your
Would you, would you, give your
Would you, would you, give your all for yours

Fubara named Preseason Player of the Year as Bucs voted to finish second
MACON, Ga. (August 3, 2011) – On Wednesday, the Atlantic Sun Conference released its men's soccer preseason honors and awards which included two Buccaneers being named to the Preseason All-Conference Team and one being named Preseason Player of the Year.
Sophomore forward Itode Fubara (Ogbema, Nigeria), last year's Atlantic Sun Tournament MVP, was named the Atlantic Sun Preseason Player of the Year - marking the first time any ETSU men's soccer student-athlete has received the honor. Fubara joined senior Aaron Schoenfeld (Knoxville, Tenn.), a two-time honoree, as the two Bucs who were each unanimously selected to the team.
Of the 12 honorees (resulting from a tie in voting), Fubara and Schoenfeld were two of just four unanimous selections for the squad.
"(Fubara and Schoenfeld) work so hard to continue to improve," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "It's great to see their hard work being recognized by the other coaches in the conference."
Calabrese, now in his fourth season as the head coach of ETSU men's soccer, comes off a season in which he was honored as well, having been named the 2010 Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year and NSCAA/Mondo South Region Coach of the Year.
Coming off their first Atlantic Sun Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance in program history, the Bucs also received their highest ever preseason ranking on Wednesday, as they were voted to place second in the Conference Preseason Poll - their previous high being fourth.
Receiving four first-place votes, ETSU fell just one vote short, 77 votes to 76 votes, of being ranked first in the Preseason Poll behind defending Atlantic Sun Regular Season Champion Florida Gulf Coast.
"It's flattering to see the conference coaches recognize us as one of the top programs in the conference," said Calabrese. "The conference as a whole is continuing to improve and the RPIs from last season are indicative of that."
Last November, in an article by ESPN.com's Sheldon Shealer, the Atlantic Sun was recognized for having four of the top five RPI improvements from 2009 to 2010. ETSU led the way by rising 144 spots from the previous year.
For the Bucs, this marks the second consecutive year in which two student-athletes were named to the Preseason All-Conference Team. Last year, Schoenfeld and former ETSU student-athlete Guilherme Reis earned the preseason honors, with Reis being a unanimous selection.
ETSU will kick off the 2011 season with an exhibition match on Aug. 14 against Virginia in Charlottesville, Va.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Staffing Company Refused to Hire Deaf Applicant, Federal Agency Charged
DALLAS – A Dallas jury today rendered a verdict against staffing company Smith Personnel Solutions, awarding $184,400 to a deaf applicant who was turned away when she tried to apply for a job as a stock clerk, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which had brought the suit, announced today.
The jury awarded Jacquelyn Moncada $34,400 for lost wages and emotional harm and an additional $150,000 in punitive damages based on the EEOC's charges that Smith refused to consider her for an open job of a stock clerk because of her deafness. Smith did not take Moncada's application nor interview her for the job, instead telling her through her sign language interpreter that there was no open job for her.
The jury verdict followed the presentation of evidence by the EEOC that Moncada and a sign language interpreter went to Smith seeking work as a stocker. The Smith employee told her that he had no job for her and that she could be "dangerous" because she "couldn't communicate." Moncada had worked for almost three years as a stock clerk in a previous job, and had never experienced problems communicating because of her disability.
Such alleged conduct violates the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The EEOC filed suit (Case No. 3:08-cv-1552D in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
"Jacquelyn wasn't asking for special treatment, just the chance to apply for a job," said EEOC trial attorney Joel Clark. "Smith Personnel's assumption that she couldn't work just because she is deaf is the type of mistaken assumption that can be prevented through training and education."
Heather Bise, deafness resource specialist for the Deaf Action Center, who offered expert witness testimony for the EEOC at trial, said, "I believe this case will have a holistic affect on the deaf community, and the walls of audism -- an attitudinal barrier towards people with hearing loss -- will eventually fade. Deaf individuals are simply asking for a chance, and I don't think we are asking for much." The deafness resource specialist project is provided through the Deaf Action Center and funded by the Texas Office for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services.
According to the EEOC, Smith Personnel Solutions operates four branch offices in Texas, and employs approximately 650 workers.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

M-Audio Unveils GForce Virtual String Machine
The Virtual String Machine brings back string synthesizers both ubiquitous and rare, including emulations of the Freeman String Symphonizer, Eminent 310, ARP Omni II, ARP Quartet, Crumar Multiman, Polymoog, Elka Rhapsody, Korg PE2000, Logan String Melody, Eminent Solina, Roland RS202, Yamaha SS30 and more. These are the same instruments that changed the face of music in the hands of Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder, The Cure, Parliament, Herbie Hancock, Air, Joy Division, Jean Michel Jarre, Thomas Dolby, Genesis, Lonnie Liston Smith and many others. More recently, these vintage sounds have seen resurgence with artists like Kasabian and Goldfrapp.
M-Audio development partner GForce created the Virtual String Machine using techniques that have garnered critical acclaim from reviewers, artists and even the original instrument inventors. As such, it follows in the footsteps of GForce's popular Minimonsta:Melohman, The Oddity, impOSCar and M-Tron. Users of the Virtual String Machine will find the same attention to detail and accuracy in every aspect of this incredible creative instrument. For example, the software manifests in over 60 different Sample Sets spanning the many different settings of these venerable instruments—over 3,200 meticulous samples in all.
Far more than a preset device, the Virtual String Machine does not stop at simply emulating the best string machines of all time. It allows users to layer any two Sample Sets and apply synthesizer parameters to each layer—creating different envelopes, filter settings, pitch LFO, pan positions, fine-tune amounts and more. The master output stage then provides a vintage-style phaser and/or ensemble to the final patch. While fully programmable, this exciting software instrument also ships with over 500 factory presets.
The Virtual String Machine can function as a stand-alone instrument in conjunction with a MIDI control. It is also a plug-in compatible with most popular host applications including Pro Tools LE™, Pro Tools|HD®, Pro Tools M-Powered™, Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic, GarageBand, SONAR, Digital Performer, and ACID. Compatible formats include VST 2.0 (Mac/PC including VSTi), RTAS (Mac/PC) and Audio Units (Mac).
"GForce software has given the industry incredibly realistic emulations and enhancements of vintage instruments," says Adam Castillo, marketing director at M-Audio. "The Virtual String Machine goes beyond merely bringing the seminal sounds of the 1970's back to life—it combines them into new sonic treats the world has never heard before. M-Audio is proud to be the worldwide distributor for the Virtual String Machine and other great software instruments from GForce."
The Virtual String Machine is expected to ship in early 2007 and carries an MSRP of $149.95 US.

Spurs go international again, add sharpshooter Belinelli
Since the bitter end of an NBA Finals that ended one victory shy of a fifth championship, the Spurs' front-office decision-makers made no bones about their desire to bring back the core of the team's free-agent crop.
On Thursday, the Spurs made their first outside hire of the offseason.
Marco Belinelli, a 27-year-old former Italian League star who has shown promise in six NBA seasons spent with four teams, has agreed to a two-year deal worth nearly $6 million to join the Spurs, league sources said.
Belinelli cannot officially sign his deal until July 10, per NBA rule.
The Spurs apparently moved fast to line up Belinelli, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard, as other teams began circling reserve guard Gary Neal, a restricted free agent.
Neal, another expatriate of the Italian Leagues, has been garnering offers from other teams the Spurs might be disinclined to match, according to an ESPN.com report. He has not yet signed an offer sheet with another team.
If Neal is indeed headed out of town after three seasons with the Spurs, the team appears to have already identified his replacement in Belinelli, a native of Bologna, Italy.
A former first-round draft pick of Golden State in 2007, Belinelli spent last season with Chicago, where he averaged 9.6 points and shot 35.7 percent from 3-point range. He started 27 games for the injury-ravaged Bulls but was best utilized as a member of coach Tom Thibodeau's bench unit.
Belinelli, who also had stints in New Orleans and Toronto, became expendable in Chicago when the Bulls agreed to terms with free agent Mike Dunleavy earlier this week.
Like Manu Ginobili before him, Belinelli cut his teeth in Italy, where he was a teenage star before arriving stateside in 2007.
"I don't know if a lot of people understand how big he was in Italy," Bulls guard Nate Robinson told the Chicago Sun-Times in March.
In Chicago, Robinson told the paper, teammates had nicknamed Belinelli "Marco Jordan."
"Because where he's from," Robinson said, "he's like their Jordan."
News of Belinelli's verbal agreement comes a day after the Spurs reached a new deal with the 36-year-old Ginobili, who will re-sign at two years and $14 million. That, in turn, came a day after center Tiago Splitter agreed to return on a four-year deal worth $36 million.
It could be that Belinelli winds up being the most prominent addition of the Spurs' offseason.
There are scenarios, however, in which they still could remain active in the free-agent market, depending upon the particular salary cap tool used to sign Belinelli.
Were the Spurs to let Neal and free-agent forward DeJuan Blair go, plus exercise their amnesty option on the $3.945 owed forward Matt Bonner, it is possible — in theory at least — for the team to free more than $5 million in cap room with which to continue the pursuit of free agents.
Multiple reports have linked the Spurs to Andrei Kirilenko, a 32-year-old small forward who opted out of $10.2 million in Minnesota in search of a lengthier deal.
A report on Hoopsworld.com on Thursday indicated the Spurs had also been in contact with Anthony Morrow, a sharp-shooting guard who split last season between Atlanta and Dallas and who has piqued their interest in the past.

Even though I love Noe and predicted that Shin will end up with Hiromi, I've discussed on this thread more than any other in this sub-forum. And it's not just me; this thread has 5 pages already. :P
Anyways, I hope Aiko doesn't do anything to Shin, because that would make it cliché and really devalues the series in my opinion. I'm not entirely sure what Aiko's role would be, but right now it seems that Aiko is not going to be someone who's interesting anymore, so part of me wants to see something wild also, just not to that extent. I'm guessing the real question would be, how will Shin react?

Well just because they sleep together, doesn't mean it'll end up like school days...
I think Aiko's role is to give Shin someone to turn to when he's troubled and in need of comfort... and at the same time... gives him conflict with his emotions.

nah, i really don't think shin will sleep with aiko for any reason. even if she and nobuse do break up, i still don't see it happening. I really can't see shin as that type of person.
even if hiromi DOES sleep with jun, i doubt shin will sleep with any of the girls for that reason.

they may turn to other's, but i doubt many would sleep with them to mend their hearts.
I'm more curious to see how this will effect shin's thoughts between him and Noe though.
or to see what happens between Nobuse and Aiko. Nobuse, as far as i know, already knows what Aiko's trying to tell him, and he's more or less stalling, right?

yeah, nobuse knows whats up already, but he's just denying it. i feel bad for him. but i'm a big fan of Aiko, so any good news for her is good for me too. I can see Aiko sleeping with Shin after hiromi does something with Jun. its a comfort thing. but i can't see this series going the way of "x had sex with y, so z is pissed and is confused and ends up with w"

Nobuse is the worse possible pairing for Aiko... she doesn't like him, period... I don't want to see her "settle" the relationship will just end up falling apart in the end.
I'm not saying Shin and Aiko are going to seek out the pity sex, I think it'll happen in the flair of the moment.

This is one of those cases where I would be HAPPY if the show proves me wrong!! However, as we've seen Aiko's character develop these last few episodes it's obvious she's been noticing Nobuse's consideration and kindness more and more. Of course that didn't stop her from kissing Shin! lol

Its because if she didn't act fast, while Shin is unattached he'll get taken away... and as she notices that, she began to get more and more depressed over it... when he mentioned that he'll be dating Noe.. that broke the line... and she couldn't take it anymore.

Aiko tried to break free from Nobuse and she was not allowed by Nobuse himself, stopping her from saying what needed to be said. I myself believe that Nobuse should have let her go if he really loved her, but this is anime is so realistic that a teenanger can't not think in such a way.

Associated Press News Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- A House committee has approved a bill that would allow trained officials to carry firearms in schools as a way to improve safety.
The bill (HB 753) approved Wednesday is sponsored by Greg Steube, a Republican from Sarasota. It gives schools the option to appoint former or current law enforcement officers and former or current military officers with state legislated training to carry firearms on campus.
They would be required to go through 40 hours of school-safety training and eight hours of active-shooter training each year. They also would need four hours of firearm qualification annually.
They'd be required to have a carry-and-conceal permit.
Local school boards or principals would make the appointments.
Representatives for the Florida School Board Association and Parent Teacher Association opposed the bill.
A measure to allow trained people to carry firearms at Florida's schools cleared a hurdle in the Capitol today. By a 9 to 4 vote, a House committee approved that plan.
"I think it's really important that our children are safe," said bill sponsor Representative Greg Steube.
Steube is an Iraq War veteran and father of a three year old boy.
"We have schools that are completely unarmed that are completely defenseless," he said.
The Sarasota Republican is sponsoring a bill to allow trained helpers to carry guns in Florida's schools.
Under the plan, only former or current law enforcement officers or military would be eligible.
Qualified people would have to take a 40 hour school safety course, 8 hours of active shooting training per year.
And leaders at each school district can decide if they want this type of help or not.
"Just to have security guards in schools with guns I don't think solves the problem," said Representative Alan Williams.
The Tallahassee Democrat opposes the plan.
Williams took part in the rally against the state's stand your ground law on Monday.
Some of those demonstrators went to a committee hearing where the Senate's version of the bill was passed.
Williams points out Leon County, for example, has school resource officers who are armed and currently work in law enforcement.
"If we need to do anything, I think we need to put more funding into the school resource officer initiative," said Williams.
"Unfortunately, the state doesn't have the money to do that," Steube said.
And he says many school districts don't have the money for school resource officers either.
He says under his plan either volunteers or school districts would pay for training.
Steube says school resource officers he's talked to also say they'd like to have back up if a threat arises.
His bill has two more committee stops in the House.
Associated Press News Release
By KAREEM COPELAND
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- A House committee has approved a bill that would permit selected school officials to carry firearms on campus in case of emergency situations.
The bill approved Wednesday also sets qualifications for who can be designated to carry a firearm, and for other preventative measures in case of a school shooting.
Anyone selected must have a carry and conceal permit, complete training to deal with shooters and be past or current members of either the military or a law enforcement agency.
Greg Steube, R-Sarasota, is sponsoring the bill that didn't pass last session.
The bill also requires school districts to hold active-shooter drills once a year -- similar to fire drills. Local law enforcement would also be required to review schools every three years and present suggestions for safety precautions.

A bill allowing school employees to carry guns around schools had its first hearing today.
Legislators heard emotional testimony from both sides.
There were people for and against it. One man in favor of it said if a perpetrator with a gun came on campus, this would allow a highly responsible person at a school to take action.
But more people against it said it's dangerous, and they don't want their kids around it.
Several Senators spoke up against it as well, saying the bill isn't ready; it doesn't fit every county because most of them have school resource officers.

The parents of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis testified at a hearing at the Capitol today. They spoke out against "stand your ground" saying the law allows people to kill and get away with it.
This hearing was about the proposed bill to allow school employees to carry guns in school, but they used this as an opportunity to oppose "stand your ground".

School administrators could soon be able to pick which teachers carry a gun in school.
That bill had its first hearing today, but some school officials say more guns aren't the answer.
Strict Federal and State laws ban guns by anyone who is not a cop in school zones. But a proposal to allow principals to pick a teacher or staff member to carry a gun on campus is gaining traction at the Capitol.
"We've absolutely made students a target; we didn't plan on it that way, but that's the way it's turned out," said Rep. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala).
The hope is that arming a teacher could prevent a tragedy like Sandy Hook from happening in Florida.
"We have a lot of people; National Guard men and women, people that are in school administration and school instruction that are perfectly equipped if we can empower them," continued Rep. Baxley.
The selected gun carrier would have to meet training requirements. The candidates would be former members of the military, police force, or anyone with a concealed weapons permit.
The bill isn't getting any support from the Florida School Board Association.
"It allows young people to say 'if my teacher has a gun or my coach has a gun, why can't I carry a gun?' That is the wrong message for impressionable young students," said Wayne Blanton, Florida School Board Association.
A bill from Rep. Dennis Baxley touts common sense punishment for kids who make guns out of Pop-Tarts moved through the Capitol last week. Blanton says putting a real gun and not a pastry around kids could lead to more problems.
"I think that there would be more instances of things that would happen and could go wrong when more people have guns on campus," said Rep. Baxley.
His solution: a school resource officer in every school in Florida.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement estimates that it would cost more than $2 million to train all designated school employees in the state on all three courses.

It was 2000 when the need for a single internet address for Marimba Productions Inc. and Malletech LLC was realized. This single internet address is intended to contain the products, services and publications of the two said companies such as Malletech instruments, mallets and accessories, Keyboard Percussion Publications and Studio 4 Music publications, even the recordings of Resonator Records. In this site, a lot of information about marimba and percussion performers, composers, acoustics, seminars and concerts can also be found.
In 1978, which was a year earlier, Leigh`s first solo marimba mallet line was introduced by Vic Firth Inc., a company based in Boston, Massachusetts. The mallets have unique design and were very different from other keyboard mallets manufactured previously. The mallet handles were characterized by an extended length birch, loose wrapping, stitched heads and tones having a range of sounds. Leigh eventually took over in 1982. Bob Becker, David Friedman and Dave Samuels, three of the greatest mallet players in the world helped Leigh in establishing MALLETECH, the first brand of mallets devoted to serious keyboard percussion players.
Musser, the largest manufacturer of keyboard percussion instruments in the world at that time, sought the expertise of Leigh by hiring him as their design consultant in 1985. Leigh designed the new extended range marimba after working on the bar and resonator tuning systems for all the marimbas, xylophones and vibes. This new extended range marimba is now known as the M450 LHS. This instrument still has two of his patented designs, a built-in frame height adjustment and tunable resonators on the lowest octave. Due to the products high-end specifications, M450 LHS became the worlds best selling extended-range concert marimba in the late 1980s and early 1990s. His design of a furniture-grade all wooden frame marimba replaced the fake leather-wrapped frame components of some of today`s most expensive instruments. But due to low price, some manufacturers still use leatherette wrapped frame components.

Akiba ben Joseph, (born 40 ce—died c. 135, Caesarea, Palestine [now in Israel]), Jewish sage, a principal founder of rabbinic Judaism. He introduced a new method of interpreting Jewish oral law (Halakha), thereby laying the foundation of what was to become the Mishna, the first postbiblical written code of Jewish law.
The subject of numerous popular legends, Akiba is said to have been an illiterate shepherd who began to study after the age of 40. His devoted wife, Rachel, supported him both morally and materially during this arduous period of late learning (12 years, according to one account). His principal teachers were the great masters of the Law, Eliezer ben Hyrcanus and Joshua ben Hananiah. Akiba established his academy in Bene Beraq (near present-day Tel Aviv–Yafo), and the leading sages of the following generation, especially Meïr and Simeon ben Yoḥai, were his disciples.
Akiba perfected the method of biblical interpretation called "Midrash," whereby legal, sacral, and ethical tenets that had been sanctioned by Jewish oral tradition were viewed as being implied in Scripture. Thus, Scripture, in addition to its overt meaning, is understood as replete with implied teaching; it is, in fact, all-encompassing. The "Written Law" of Scripture and the "Oral Law" of tradition are ultimately one. Many midrashic works of the 2nd century originated in Akiba's school. In addition, he collected the oral traditions that regulated the conduct of Jewish personal, social, and religious life and arranged them systematically. (Akiba has been called "the father of the Mishna.") His apprehension of Scripture was opposed by the contemporary exegete Rabbi Ishmael ben Elisha, who taught that "the Torah speaks in the language of men" and should not be forced to yield special meanings but instead should be interpreted exclusively by means of set, logical rules of interpretation.
Akiba's importance lies both in his achievements as a rabbinic scholar and in the impact of his personality on his time. He was strict in matters of law ("No pity in judgment!"—i.e., compassion is irrelevant in establishing what the law is or means), but he opposed the death penalty. He respected the role of the woman in life and attributed the redemption of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage to the meritoriousness of women of that generation. He was modest in his personal life, and he was known for his concern for the poor.
As judge he addressed litigating parties: "Know before whom you are standing. You are standing before him whose word created the world, not before Akiba ben Joseph."
His lectures were on legal subjects, scriptural exegesis, and religious thought. For him the central teaching of Judaism resided in the commandment "love your neighbour as yourself." God's love for man is expressed in that he created man in his image. Man has freedom of will ("Everything is foreseen, yet freedom of choice is given"); his deeds determine his fate, yet his true reward will be granted only in the world to come. In the present life there is much suffering, but "suffering is precious" and man should praise God for it. The people of Israel, who in a special sense are "God's children," have the task to "proclaim the glory of God to all the nations of the world." Akiba interpreted the Song of Solomon as a dialogue of love between Israel and God. For the sake of this love Israel withdraws from the affairs of the world. In these teachings—partly in answer to early Christian tenets—Akiba laid the basis for an ideology of Israel in dispersion among the nations of the world.
About the year 95, Akiba and other sages journeyed to Rome. Arriving at the seaport Puteoli they beheld the power and grandeur of the empire. While his companions wept, remembering the victory of Rome over Judaea some two decades ago, Akiba remained calm. If God is so kind to the wicked Romans, he explained, he will, in the end, be even kinder to Israel. He was equally calm when he visited the ruins of the Jerusalem Temple, destroyed by the Romans in the year 70. The prophecies of doom have come true, he commented; now we may anticipate the fulfillment of the prophecies of reconstruction.
Scholarly opinion is divided on the extent of Akiba's participation in an ill-fated rebellion against Rome (132–135) led by Bar Kokhba (originally Simeon ben Koziba). Some consider Akiba to have been the spiritual force behind the uprising. Others take note of the Talmudic report that Akiba considered Bar Kokhba to be the promised messianic king but see no evidence of further action on his part. Akiba was, it is true, apprehended by the Romans, imprisoned in Caesarea, and finally martyred (c. 135), but his offense is recorded as having been his continued public teaching rather than revolutionary activity. He accepted the agony of martyrdom serenely (he was flayed alive, according to tradition), grateful for the opportunity to fulfill the commandment to "love God…with all your life," which he always interpreted to mean "even when he takes your life." His last words were, "the Lord is one," the final words of the Jewish confession of faith ("Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one").

|Grace Ellen Smedley and Cloree Jensen
For this month's history I want to share the life sketch that I wrote and read at my grandma Smedley's funeral. Her last couple of years she couldn't speak and I am not sure that she knew who we were.
Grace Ellen Poulsen Smedley Life Sketchby, Leslie Ann Ballou
Grace Ellen Poulsen Smedley was born in Paris, Idaho December 10, 1901. She was the youngest of three children born to James Sirrine and Grace Price Poulsen.
When she was only three and a half years old little Grace lost her mother. In 1905 her father married Harriet Humphrys and they had six children together. Grace was kept busy helping with the children as well as milking cows day and night.
On October 7, 1920 Grace married the boy from across the street, Calvin Buck Smedley, in the Salt Lake City Temple. Calvin and Grace were the proud parents of seven children. After Violet, Cloree, and Darrell were born the doctor warned her not to have any more children because of her health. Good old Grandma wouldn't hear of it so she had four more.
She delivered James with no problem, but had quite a struggle almost losing her life, when Beverly and Garna were born. Do you think that was going to stop Grace? No way, there was one more baby to be born! When the Doctor found out she was pregnant with Tom he flat out told her, "You better have this baby in the hospital or I wont take care of you." So dad was born in the Montpelier Hospital.
Grace has always been very active in the church. She has held positions in the Sunday School, Mutual, and Relief Society, and she was even the Stake Librarian. She was also a member of the D.U.P. (Daughters of Utah Pioneers).
In 1970 Calvin and Grace were called on an eight month mission to North Carolina and Virginia. They had many wonderful experiences there. When they returned home they acted as guides for the Tabernacle once a week.
Grace enjoyed crocheting and quilting among other crafts. She made a quilt for each and every one of her grandchildren for their high school graduation. Grandma also enjoyed and knew the importance of family history.
Grace also enjoyed singing and reading to her children and grandchildren. When I came to visit Grandma I could always count on grabbing a lap and listening to "Little Brown Koko" and, or "The Billy Goats Gruff".
Every time I went to visit Grandma I followed the same ritual. After getting a hug and kiss from Grandma, and whisker burns from Grandpa, I ran straight to the cookie jar. If it was winter, I would take that cookie and sit right in front of the heater and eat it.
Grandma loved to feed her family. You were always prompted to have more, and those who gave in probably left the table with a belly ache. You could always count on an ice cream cone after dinner no matter what time of the year it was.
I don't ever remember leaving Grandma's house empty handed. I always left with a bottle of Peaches or pears, or even little trinkets.
There was a song that Grandma always sang to the children and grandchildren called "You are My Sunshine". I sang this at her 100th birthday celebration and from her reaction I know that it touched her.
Grandma, I would like to sing to you one last time........

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

PHILADELPHIA - Teams that wind up falling a game or two shy of reaching the postseason can't help but look back on certain losses and ask, 'What if?'
If the Cardinals somehow see their season end that way, Friday night will be one of those games that make them shake their heads.
They had a pitching matchup that featured perhaps the second-best starting pitcher in the National League facing off against perhaps the second-worst starting pitcher in the National League. They had three runs on the board before their ace, Adam Wainwright, had to step on the rubber. It was too easy.
And yet, when Ryan Howard and Domonic Brown were hung up between bases and begging the Cardinals to short-circuit their third-inning rally, St. Louis first baseman Matt Adams inexplicably made a sloppy, wild throw that allowed Howard to score what would be the deciding run in a 5-4 Phillies victory at Citizens Bank Park.
It made a winner out of Kyle Kendrick (6-11), not a common phrase heard these days, particularly when the right-hander was doing his first-inning thing of getting clobbered. The Cards got three runs, as the first four batters reached base and Adams nearly made it five when he flew out to the fence in right. But Kendrick settled down and allowed four runs in 6 1/3 innings and made the most out of what nearly had been a disaster.
'You just have to battle,' said Kendrick, whose ERA went above 5.00 after the three-run first. 'It was a nice win against one of the best pitchers in the league.'
The Phillies got their runs thanks to Ben Revere (three hits) and Jimmy Rollins (two walks) getting on base and fueling rallies in the first and third innings. Revere scored on an RBI groundout by Howard in the first, then scored in the third on a Howard single. Rollins added the tying run on a Marlon Byrd sacrifice fly, setting up Howard's running hi-jinx that was trumped by Adams's throw.
Revere's infield hit to start the bottom of the first came after he fouled off a few 0-2 pitches and appeared to send Wainwright into a frustrating spiral of wildness.
'Wainwright is a great pitcher, so I was trying to be more patient and see more pitches since I hadn't faced him since last year,' Revere said. 'I just tried everything I could do. (Plate umpire Jeff Kellogg) was squeezing a little tonight, but I didn't want to take a chance of him calling strike three on me. Luckily, both times I found the right spot.'
Revere's hits only take the Phillies into big innings if Rollins can follow it up with a productive at-bat. That hasn't been where the veteran shortstop has done his best hitting, but the walks he drew against Wainwright were the type of approaches that should help the Phils put up runs.
'With some of the pitchers, they don't want to be slow when I'm on the bag, because I can steal two bags like that and score a run,' Revere said. 'So some of them are trying to hurry up (to the plate) and that can mess them up. That can mess their rhythm up. Maybe they leave one over the middle and (Rollins) drives it, or maybe they are off the plate and it's ball four.'
It was only the third time in Wainwright's 211 career starts that he has taken a loss in a game in which his team afforded him a three-run lead. The Pirates turned the trick the other two times (June 29, 2012, and June 2, 2008). He certainly had done most of the work in allowing the Phillies to creep back into the game, walking three and falling behind hitters uncharacteristically.
'When you get him early, that's when you can beat him down,' Revere said. 'They had that three-run lead, but we battled back.'

Johnson Reaffirms GSA's Commitment to Aid Small Businesses in Government Contracting
As prepared for delivery.
Remarks by
Martha N. Johnson
U.S. General Services Administration
Small Business Fair
Atlanta, GA
April 13, 2011
Thank you, Shyam Reddy for that generous introduction.
It's an honor to join dedicated public servants like Mayor Kasim Reed, Assistant Secretary E.J. Holland, and other dignitaries here.
I'm delighted to be here today, and it's a privilege, as always, to speak with the small-business community here in Atlanta. I know that here in Atlanta and across the region, there are many terrific opportunities for small-business engagement on federal projects ranging from design to construction to maintenance to information technology and much more.
I want to salute the work that our Southeast Sunbelt Regional Office employees do to connect and partner with small businesses. Their work is terrifically important, and they do a great job. Thank you!
I bring greetings today from President Barack Obama and my colleagues in his administration.
Despite my current role as the head of one of the world's largest purchasers, I have a personal connection to small business. I have worked at a small architecture firm, a diversity consulting firm, an executive search firm, and a strategy firm, so I'm sensitive to the challenges that you face as the owners and operators of small businesses.
The U.S. General Services Administration is excited to be a critical player in forwarding President Obama's small-business agenda. Our mission is to use our expertise to provide innovative solutions for our customers in support of their missions, and by so doing, foster an effective, sustainable, and transparent government for the American people.
In other words, we support the Department of Veterans Affairs so that it can support our veterans. We provide infrastructure for the Department of Education so that it can focus on educating tomorrow's leaders.
GSA's customer base is broad, ranging from the federal judiciary to federal agencies to state and local governments, and we're committed to providing best-value solutions to each of them. This gives GSA a unique strategic positioning within the government as we work both with our customers – public organizations and government agencies – and with our suppliers – industry and private firms.
We play an important role in transferring knowledge and interpreting market messages for our clients and in transmitting their needs and operational requirements to the private sector. Under ordinary circumstances, this is a big job. But these are not ordinary circumstances.
Our country faces serious challenges both at home and abroad.
Our troops need support, our veterans need care, our children need good schools, and our infrastructure needs an upgrade. Too many Americans still feel the terrible anxiety of unemployment, and we have a long way to go before our economy is back on its feet again.
That said, we are seeing encouraging news. Two years after a terrible recession, our economy is growing, and showing real signs of strength. For the fourth month in a row, the unemployment rate has dropped, now to 8.8 percent in March. March's employment report also shows that the private sector added 230,000 jobs in industries ranging from manufacturing to education to construction.
To continue to encourage this growth, President Obama has set an ambitious course for the government and for the nation. In his State of the Union address, he said: "The future is ours to win. But to get there, we can't just stand still." He continued, "We know what it takes to compete for the jobs and industries of our time. We need to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world."
We can't win the future with a government of the past. That's why the conversation we have today and the robust partnerships we develop between industry and government are so important.
After all, such partnerships are responsible for some of the greatest advances of the last century. Working together, industry and government have mapped the smallest particles – the human genetic code – and peered into the vast reaches of the universe.
Together, we have brought cars, airplanes, and computers to millions of people; lifted untold numbers out of poverty; put a man on the moon; and built the finest universities in the world. Together, America has led the world from the industrial age to the information age. And now we must look further still.
To achieve the president's goal, to win the future, we need a government that works – and works well.
We need a government that works well at educating our children, that works well at building our infrastructure, that works well at fostering American innovation.
And we need a government that works well at supporting the engine of our economy: small business.
Small businesses create roughly two of every three new jobs in America each year. More than half of working Americans own or work for a small business, and small businesses drive American innovation and competitiveness. Yet, along with the middle class, small businesses have borne the greatest brunt of the difficult economy.
The president understands this, which is why he has directed his administration to support small businesses through landmark legislation like the Small Business Jobs Act and initiatives such as the Small Business Lending Fund and the Small Business Jobs Forum.
It's why he has pushed for and signed more than a dozen different tax cuts for America's small businesses over the last two years.
And it's why we're all here today.
At GSA, we take the small-business agenda seriously, and we're working on it with all cylinders. In fiscal year 2010, GSA helped nearly 80 percent of the contracts on the Multiple Award Schedule Program go to more than 13,000 small business contracts.
Considering that this schedule is the government's largest acquisition vehicle responsible for more than 10 percent of federal spending, that's not chump change. And we're not done yet.
So far in FY 2011, we have awarded more than half a billion dollars to small business, and we are on track to exceed subcategory targets such as Historically Underutilized Business Zone, or HUBZone; women-owned; and small disadvantaged businesses, just as we did in 2010.
By awarding billions of dollars in federal contracting to small businesses, we're building on GSA's long history of supporting some of the best companies in the country.
Two weeks ago, the Alliant Small Business Contract reached a milestone: 60 awards worth nearly $1 billion. And on our 8(a) STARS contract – the Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services contract – we have obligated more than $3 billion for more than 3,000 task orders. That translates into real earnings for our country's small and small disadvantaged businesses. These two contracts underscore an important point about our philosophy toward small businesses, one that you know all too well: They may be classified as "small," but there is nothing small about their ambition or capacity.
Around the country, businesses are working with GSA to help government agencies better serve the public. In return, government agencies are realizing the cast-iron value proposition of working with small businesses.
At GSA, we don't want to just be the referee, determining who gets on our schedules. We also want to help you discover how to get on schedules, and, once you're there, how to get business with the government. We want to link the partners and complete the handshake.
GSA is more than just the gatekeeper; we're the counselor, the guide, and the go-to resource both for agencies and for small businesses.
So share your ideas with us. Let us know your challenges, the obstacles in your way. Communicate your frustrations – and your pleasant surprises.
Tell us how we can close the gaps between government and small firms, and in so doing, create a government that works ever better for the American people.
Thank you.

There is a feeling in my life that my life is not necessarily about me, which is of course on the altruistic side of things. Perhaps many people can say that though, in some sense. I feel great about it tbh, the altruism question, it was a good gift to give, indeed. I get a bit tearful thinking about it now. Great that you told me.
Those tears .... are words the heart cannot express - a purity of love that melts us with the truth, literally.
I had an interesting experience once that hits upon this nuance you've noticed ... I am (we all are) an instrument of others' learning. and so you're right, all of our lives are about & value to all of life itself.
We are all in it together, and that's the thing - we all belong, we're all as valuable as another. There is no measurement of 'worth' or judgement of better or worse, not in or with anything. We literally are all in together.
As the Dalai Lama says, if you think small is not important, try sleeping with a mosquito in the room.

I recently joined BookCrossing.com after I found a copy of the "The Perfect Storm," by Sebastian Junger, on a bookshelf at one of those cozy new McDonald's. A note, taped to the inside cover, revealed the book's connection to this online community: "When you are finished, please pass this book along to someone else who will enjoy it."
Here's how BookCrossing.com works: You leave a book in a public place and wait for someone to find it. That person registers their discovery online and the book is tracked as it travels from person to person.
At last, I thought, an easy way to rid our sagging bookshelves of my husband's books and gain some space for my own! I would scour Chicago's suburbs for appropriate drop-off sites and, little by little, chip away at my spouse's book collection.
I marveled at my husband's Greek Bible when we first dated and he read aloud in the original Greek. It was so romantic. But now after more than a decade of marriage, it just looks, well, big. It would be the first to go. Aristotle's "Theory of Poetry and Fine Art" and Lucretius's "De Rerum Natura" – those guys would be next.
But then I hesitated. What if someone shopping at Victoria's Secret stumbled upon my spouse's copy of Augustine's "Confessions?" Would the 4th-century bishop end up among some lace, misunderstood? And Cicero at the outlet mall sounded more like an ancient reality show than an appropriate site for a great orator.
Yet why should I care where Nietzsche ended up? So what if some guy taking inventory found my husband's personal copy of "Thus Sprach Zarathustra" in the toothpaste aisle at Walgreens? The whole point was to get rid of books like that – no matter what the cost.
But then again, if a mom looking for Tide at Costco saw the personal notes my lifelong partner had scribbled in the margins of Kafka's weird story about that big bug, what would she think?
Still, I persevered. I scouted malls and fast-food restaurants, my little red Honda heavy with the thoughts of all those great men. I hauled bags of books up and down escalators. I ruminated over drop-off sites for translations of the Iliad.
Then I thought about my Romantic poets, lying in a heap on our library floor, waiting for shelf space. If the tables were turned, could I really dump Byron and Keats at Burger King? On the other hand, if I didn't send his Socrates to Sears soon, my poets would never get their time on the shelf.
So, with much trepidation, I dropped Homer at Wrigley Field, left Heraclitus at the water park, and tucked "Leaves of Grass" under a lawn mower at Home Depot. At last ... room for Shelley.

Ax-Wielding Motorcyclists Raid London Jewelry Store
(LONDON) -- Six men armed with axes and bats drove through a London shopping mall on motorcycles and raided a jewelry store this week in a robbery reminiscent of a Hollywood movie, officials said.
Police are looking for the men, who were dressed in black and wearing crash helmets and visors to conceal their identities, after they raced through the Brent Cross shopping center Tuesday morning.
The three motorbikes pulled up in front of a Fraser Hart jewelry store when three of the men jumped off the back of the bikes and raided the store of valuable jewels. They nabbed Cartiers, Rolexes and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of watches, according to police.
Shoppers watched in horror from a distance as the remaining three men waited outside the store with the motorcycles. The scene was reminiscent of the crime thriller The Italian Job.
"We looked out and we saw six men, two on each bike, pull up outside Fraser Hart and then they pulled out an ax and they were getting into Fraser Hart and telling everyone to stay back," mall employee Claire Smalley told BBC News.
"It was really scary and I've got young girls that work for us and it really wasn't a pleasant experience. We had to bolt the doors quickly," she added.
Police recovered the motorbikes at a nearby golf course less than an hour after the robbery. No one was injured in the raid but an elderly man was treated on the scene for shock.
The raid began 15 minutes after the mall opened to shoppers. The three motorcycles raced through the mall and stopped in front of Fraser Hart.
Surveillance video caught the entire scene unfolding. It took two minutes. One of the robbers can be seen through the store's window grabbing at jewelry on display and throwing it into a black sack.
One of the men waiting outside the store used his ax to deter people from coming near the scene by holding it in the air as if he would swing it. He then smashed a piece of glass railing across from the store's entrance.
Another store adjacent to Fraser Hart immediately pulled down its security gate while the other three robbers remained outside the jewelry store.
"It was very frightening. I could not believe it was happening," Sue Bangs, who was in a different store at the time of the robbery, told BBC News. "All the shops suddenly put down their shutters and we were locked in for a while. My heart was pounding."
The robbers emerged from the store and hopped back on the waiting motorbikes before speeding out of the camera's view.
The day before the mall was hit, a motorcycle gang smashed the windows of a pawn shop in the same area, stuffing their pockets with loot.

From the original line of Thiérache, the family branched, expanded, and prospered. Resulting from this expansion, the members of the family had their names recorded with a variety of spellings. As the members of the many branches were involved politically and culturally in their region, they were recorded in the ancient surveys. From the ancient records of the Denisard branch, Adam of la Capelle is recorded in Thiérache in 1340, Jehan is noted in 1360 and Mahieu is registered in 1404. From the Denise branch, Bernard appears in 1294, Pierre in 1384, Jehan Denise rendered homage in 1390, and Jacques appears in a census of 1448. As well, from the ancient cartularies Jehan Denisot is mentioned in 1438. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
