Perfection in the form of a wide angle zoom
This lens, along with the 80-200mm f/2.8, should be in the bag of anyone who owns a Nikon AF body.

A Brief Update and the newer 17-35/2.8 AFS
This is one of my very favorite lenses in the world. That's the gist of it. However, there is a little more to the story.

Buy Exelon and Get Constellation Energy for Free
Ted is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Shares of nuclear power plant operator Exelon (NYSE: EXC) look cheap after fears of an upcoming dividend cut sent the price tumbling. The stock traded near $36 as October came to a close, but it now sits below $30. Although the company faces near-term headwinds, the stock appears undervalued given its strong competitive position in nuclear power and its recent acquisition of the second-largest retail power base.
Exelon's power generation fleet consists mainly of nuclear- and gas-fired plants in the U.S. and Canada. It is perhaps the lowest-cost provider of electricity in the U.S., which puts it in the best position to take advantage of rising rates in deregulated markets. The nuclear plants come with a bit of a moat; it takes at least seven years and billions of dollars to build one after clearing all regulatory hurdles. Exelon's nuclear assets are unmatched by any other U.S. company, which gives it one of the cleanest fleets in the country. In addition, the company is adding solar and wind projects that will expand its renewable energy capacity by more than 600 megawatts in Q4 2012. As a result, the company will likely benefit from stricter EPA regulations that will further discourage competition.
Despite the favorable long-term outlook, the stock dropped substantially in reaction to a likely dividend cut due to lower-than-expected power prices in 2012. Management has said that maintaining its investment-grade credit rating is priority number one, so, barring a near-term surge in prices, the dividend will likely be cut in Q1 2013.
Exelon currently sports a 7% dividend yield, compared to 3.5% for NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE), 5.2% for Entergy Corp (NYSE: ETR), and 4.7% for Public Service Enterprise Group (NYSE: PEG). Assuming Exelon cuts its dividend in half (which is the worst-case scenario), its yield will drop to 3.5%, which would put it near the bottom of the group. However, Exelon deserves to trade at a premium relative to its competitors. Entergy is currently involved in a dispute with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission regarding a license extension and proposed cooling towers for its nuclear plants. Public Service Enterprise Group is concentrated in New Jersey; in addition to the impact of hurricane Sandy, the overall decline in wholesale prices has hurt the business worse than most. But PEG's stock has not yet priced in these headwinds. NextEra is well-positioned for most future scenarios and is the best trading comp for Exelon.
Constellation Energy
The most exciting aspect of Exelon is its recent acquisition of Constellation Energy. Exelon paid $7.9 billion for what was at the time the largest retail power base in the U.S. Constellation's retail base provides a counter-cyclical hedge against wholesale prices and may also provide synergies by using Exelon's power generation to serve retail customers. The following valuation demonstrates that investors who buy today are getting this acquisition for free.
Exelon's pre-Constellation business has demonstrated a remarkably stable pre-tax return on tangible invested assets throughout the business cycle. It averages close to 7% and has been as high as 10% recently. Assuming a 6.93% pre-tax return on tangible invested assets, the company should produce $3.56 billion in pre-tax income on average throughout a business cycle. This may be a bit conservative; the company hasn't produced a lower pre-tax number since 2006. Applying a 7x multiple to this figure gives a value per share of $29.18. The stock recently traded at $29.33.
Constellation has had volatile earnings since 2008, but a cycle-average $1.2 billion in pre-tax earnings is a safe bet given the upside from synergies with Exelon's low-cost power generation capabilities. Applying a 7 multiple to this figure gives a value of $8.6 billion, or $10.12 per share. The combined entity is thus worth at least $39.30 with substantial upside in the case of an improving wholesale market.
Exelon earns huge margins on its nuclear power plants and is positioned to take advantage of a rebound in electricity prices. However, its retail business will hold profits up during a downturn in prices, offering the counter-cyclical force that management had been seeking for nearly a decade. The stock is down due to selling by dividend investors, so it's worth a look for long-term investors looking for an entry into the sector.

This Wednesday at the LA Auto Show Honda debuted its new Eco-Assist fuel economy enhancement technology with the new Honda Insight Concept. This technology is hot on the heels of other manufacturers that have been releasing detailed fuel economy displays on cailis canadian farmacy their hybrid cars, and should be very competitive with these other products.
The Honda Insight, which also made its North American debut at the same time, will come equipped with the new Eco-Assist display in the spring of 2009 when the Insight first goes on sale in the United States.
Eco-Assist is more than just a display; it's a full fuel economy enhancement package. Besides the scoring function, which rates how you drive and www.aco.ca encourages more economic driving, Eco-Assist offers and ECON mode, which tweaks the drivetrain to be even more fuel efficient. Perhaps the generic viagra from china most visible and interesting feature is ordering levitra without a prescription the speedometer background, which glows a certain color depending on how you're driving. This gives you instant feedback without the trouble of trying to read an extra set of numbers off the dash.
Honda hopes this feature will help propel the Insight, with it's low $18,500 starting price to projected sales of 100,000 units in North America annually. Personally, I'm looking forward to a test drive where I can see how the functions work in the real world.

Cheddar cheese with apple pie is an American classic, but why? Laura Werlin, author of several books, including The All American Cheese and Wine Book and Cheese Essentials, noted that the habit of pairing savory cheese with sweet accompaniments like jams, honeys, or chutneys gives you the classic savory and sweet contrast that people love in dishes such as ham with pineapple or duck with orange sauce.

And one thing that really confuses me the most is the arguement that " fighting a paladin is like fighting a 3 phase boss fight". I think this really does say a lot about a paladin, mainly how pitiful the damage dealing ability has become. If other players are survivng through 3 lives of paladins, which means they are dealling between 60-70k damage, then paladin damage needs to be significantly buffed to be on equal footing. Pallies are unable to deal 30k damage in the time other classes can do twice that damage

Hibernate Tutorial
This hibernate tutorial provides in-depth concepts of Hibernate Framework with simplified examples. It was started in 2001 by Gavin King as an alternative to EJB2 style entity bean. The stable release of Hibernate till Aug 28, 2013, is hibernate 2.2.5. It is helpful for beginners and experienced persons.
Hibernate Framework
Hibernate framework simplifies the development of java application to interact with the database. Hibernate is an open source, lightweight, ORM (Object Relational Mapping) tool.
An ORM tool simplifies the data creation, data manipulation and data access. It is a programming technique that maps the object to the data stored in the database.
The ORM tool internally uses the JDBC API to interact with the database.
Advantages of Hibernate Framework
There are many advantages of Hibernate Framework. They are as follows:
1) Opensource and Lightweight: Hibernate framework is opensource under the LGPL license and lightweight.
2) Fast performance: The performance of hibernate framework is fast because cache is internally used in hibernate framework. There are two types of cache in hibernate framework first level cache and second level cache. First level cache is enabled bydefault.
3) Database Independent query: HQL (Hibernate Query Language) is the object-oriented version of SQL. It generates the database independent queries. So you don't need to write database specific queries. Before Hibernate, If database is changed for the project, we need to change the SQL query as well that leads to the maintenance problem.
4) Automatic table creation: Hibernate framework provides the facility to create the tables of the database automatically. So there is no need to create tables in the database manually.
5) Simplifies complex join: To fetch data form multiple tables is easy in hibernate framework.
6) Provides query statistics and database status: Hibernate supports Query cache and provide statistics about query and database status.

Ned Sublette is not to be missed! Take our word for it. Live in person, direct from New York via New Orleans, he'll be reading from and talking about his great new book, "The Year Before the Flood" (Lawrence Hill Books), and will follow up with a short set of terrific, original songs. "The Year Before the Flood" is deep cultural history filtered through the personal, initiated by a year of research when Sublette and his wife, novelist Constance Ash, move to New Orleans -- before Hurricane Katrina radically alters so much of the Crescent City. His books are brilliant, original, necessary reading, sure instance of "the right work at the right time." "Ned Sublette is the rarest of writers. He possesses the empathy of Studs Terkel, the ambition of John Dos Passos, the ear of Mannie Fresh, and the fire of Joe Strummer, a mind that is restlessly capacious and a heart large enough to match." Jeff Chang.

Servings: 8 to 10 servings
Prep Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
1/2 to 1 gallon vanilla ice cream
4 egg whites
4 cups crushed cubed cereal (recommended: Golden Graham)
Vegetable oil, for frying
Cinnamon, honey, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, optional garnish
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Scoop the ice cream into 2-inch balls and freeze on prepared baking sheet for a least 2 hours.
Lightly beat the egg whites in a medium bowl. Put the crushed cereal in a separate medium bowl. Dip a frozen ice cream ball into egg whites and then roll in the crushed cereal and return to the baking sheet. Repeat the procedure with the remaining ice cream balls, egg whites, and cereal. Put the baking sheet into the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.
*Cook's Note: For extra crispiness, dip the coated ice cream balls again into the egg whites, and reroll in the crushed cereal
In a large Dutch oven or fryer, pour vegetable oil to a depth of 4 inches and heat to 375 degrees F.
Fry the ice cream balls, in batches if necessary, until golden, about 1 minute. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately with optional garnishes, if desired.

" I can't believe how easy those boxes made it for us - no figuring out which boxes should go into the truck first to best utilize the space: all of them sturdy and the same size - no guess work. thanks for not only being earth-friendly, but smart. I will definitely recommend you guys. "

" Excellent! Excellent! Very courteous, efficient and prompt. Great value and ecologically friendly++. Will definitely recommend this service to friends and would use again. Thanks guys :) "
" This is an amazing service. I moved my entire house using these bins. The delivery and pick up was great. I would recommend to everyone who is moving. "
" Repax is amazing! First of all the customer service is crazy good... And the boxes are awesome -- even my movers were in love with them. They are super strong and move around so easily. Can't recommend them highly enough! "
" As far as packing for moving, this is the way to go. The service was prompt, professional , and very friendly from scheduling to pickup. The Repax crates are very durable so there was no stress packing any glassware or other fragile goods inside and overall this was by far the most efficient process my wife and I have ever used for packing/moving. Try it once, you will never go back to cardboard boxes. Highly recommend ! "
" "I recently moved and decided there's no good reason for innocent trees to die, "no to the corrugated boxes." Repax delivered boxes made from recycled plastic to my home (which were immaculate by the way) and picked them up a week later as scheduled. It was actually less expensive than paper boxes. Plus no breaking down boxes and lugging them to the recycle room. I was very pleased and happy that my move was green!" "
" I used Repax for my move at the recommendation of a friend and I am so glad I did. The concept of reusable totes for moving is great and the service is better. The boxes were delivered and picked up timely and the repax team was very friendly. If I didn't use this service, I would probably still be living out of boxes. "
" Repax is a great service. The boxes were delivered on time as promised. They were clean and easy to use. The labels they provided worked great to help you know where to put the crate once it was moved. The customer service even accommodated my request to pick up the crates a day early with only 24 hours notice. "
" Thanks to Repax, I saved time and money moving. The size I ordered was the perfect number of crates and everything arrived in the condition I packed it in. I will never move without Repax again! Mack "

It feels very light and cool,definitely not greasy,it moisturizes pretty well for normal and oily skin,overall pretty good,smells fresh too and its not sickening
Absorbs fast, very hydrating. Smells like cucumbers in a bottle which is paradise to me since I'm a cucumber person lol. A little goes a long way
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This moisturizer is perfect for my skin. Even throughout my breakouts, it removes 80% redness in a couple of hours, refreshing and a pleasant light smell. Will purchase again
This lotion is really lovely. I put it in the fridge and use it in summer. It's great, non greasy. Really lovely smell. BUT it isnt very moisturizing at all. In summer going swimming being out in the uh, my skin does get dry and this just doesn't cut it. Even if you later this on, it's just not a good moisturizer for dry skin. This is lovely, just not for me.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great daily lotion for hands and bodies! It absorbs quickly which is a must for my daily, desk lotion. The scent is very light too even for someone with sinus issues!
It is a lighter lotion, so for very dry skin you may need something more intense.
My new HG lotion. I used to like the Vaseline cocoa butter one, but it was a little too thick sometimes and the smell got a little sickening after a while. I'm not a big lotion person to begin with. I don't like anything sticky, or stuff that doesn't ever seem to absorb. This is absolutely perfect for me. First of all, I LOVE the scent. I'm a sucker for cucumber scents, and this is definitely cucumber with a bit of aloe Vera. Very fresh, clean, and light. The formula goes on like a dream. Absorbs almost right away and keeps my skin feeling soft without being sticky or too slick. I even use this on my face (I have oily skin!) and it doesn't break me out at all. This is perfect for someone who wants light but sufficient moisture. And so cheap! A big bottle is less than 5 bucks and it will last a long time, plus you can find it almost anywhere. I can't get enough!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Not at all greasy or sticky (unlike other Vaseline products) and dries quite quickly! Has a very faint cucumber scent, which I find pleasant. There are a lot of other moisturisers, mainly ones containing lots of cocoa butters, that although they may be more moisturising, take ages to dry and change quickly from the nice vanilla-like smell of cocoa butter to the awful smell of fake tan.
This is a really cheap and easy to get moisturiser! Love it :)
i have to review this! a godsent to me! i use on my whole body including me face and I finally am able to confirm there is a moisturizer that don't break me out! here it is!!! light non greasy feeling while hydrating ur skin instead of just grease skin up nor cheating a light feeling by using slicone! great great product at an affordable price! more importantly, IT DOSE NOT BREAK ME OUT! vasline please do not ever discontinue such great product.
FYI, I am very acne prone oily skin and a tretinoin user. used to have very bad acne on my chin. but everythings under control by using tretinoin. have been searching a moisturizer which won't break me out and THIS IS IT!
At first I loved the fresh cool feeling it left on my skin...until I developed bad allergic reactions to it that made it stuff and left my skin ravaged.
I have gone without body lotion for ages and ages because they are sticky and takes effort to get to absorbed and living in tropical hot and humid weather this can leave you super sticky and dirty. so I have avoided them ever since, until I saw Bentley blonde on yt talked abt this lotion, she described how she hates sticky creamy lotion in the summer that leaves your legs slimy and said this was hydrating and yet so lightweight, the way she described how she despised sticky lotion during the summer months describes perfectly how I hate lotions generally wear on me in the weather I live in.
I decided to give this lotion a try, it has a light fresh cucumber smell and is lightweight and easily absorbed, leaves me nicely hydrated. Doesn't leave me sticky at all which is what I'm looking for in a lotion. I feel that this still leave me hydrated the next day even when I have showered and not put this on. My knees have gotten super soft. All in all this has converted me into using lotion again. The price is reasonable and does the job, a word of caution though, I have slightly dry body skin but very oily face and this works fine but might not be enough for super dry body skin. My scaly dry patches (on my legs) softened and improved. Great and works and best of all, not sticky.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Teachers at Didion overall, are experienced and do an excellent job. There is a lot of parent invovlement and support for teachers. There is an after school program and some activities for elementary students. Aside from sports, there are not many after school activities for middle schoolers.For the most part, we have had a good experience at this school.
This is the best school in the district. The principal is very hands-on, and involved in everything. The teachers are passionate about what they do. My child has been here since kindergarten, and will soon exit the middle school. It's unfortunate there are no high schools that can match Didion's quality.
An enthusiastic, involved and supportive principal sets the tone for this terrific school. Excellent for gifted students, promoting extra activities to help them grow emotionally, as well as strong academics.
This school provides a rigorus academic envronment for all students. The school has an excellent reputation, and outscores all other SCUDS school in the annual STAR tests. The teachers are dedicated to the intellectual, physical, emotional, cultural, and social advancement of all students. Parents are exceptionally active at Didion. Parents are found on campus throughout the school day, volunteering to do all the little and big jobs that make Didion the outstanding school it is. The middle school consistantly wins district-wide academic and sporting competitions. The close knit staff works diligently to insure that all students have access to the curriculum, and succeed.
Didion's Teachers are committed to the children of this community. They prove this through their active involvement during school hours, as well as after. After school they tutor in Math and Reading. Many live in the community and actively particpate in fundraising events to help cover costs of programs (music, science and art) the district cannot afford. Exemplary example of Parents, Principal, Staff and Teacher's working together to provide quality learning evironments which promote sound core curriculum foundation for all children attending Didion K-8th School.
Didion is a great school. The parent involvement is above and beyond. However, the focus leans a bit too much towards a skills based curriculum and high test scores. It would be nice to see a little more flexibility and support for those students who need an extra boost in their self esteem. The diversity is low. Basically two goups, Asians and others, which could lead to cliques. Overall, the teacher quality is high and students seem happy.
Didion has made my Elementry and middle school years pleasentable. They have also provide a save and good learning enviroment. In sixth grade through eithgrade they will propare you for highschool, which is awesome. It's very hard to find a school in Sacramento that has lots of parent and teacher support, a safe and a good learning envirment, high academics, and a great faculty.
This is hands down the best school in the Sacramento area. We are fortunate that our child gets to attend this institution, and wish every school in the state could run as efficiently, and had such passionate teachers and parents. Parental involvement absolutely helps a school become successful, so for parents who enjoy grousing about their own schools, maybe they should take a more pro-active stance to change things? Didion isn't an exceptional school simply because there is a campus on a couple of acres of land. It's an exceptional school because the faculty and the parents work together as a team! I'm always amazed at what goes on at this campus, and have never seen the amount of dedication everyone gives the school. A+!

Simon Cowell
Britney Spears and Demi Lovato are sure to stir up some trouble as judges on "X-Factor." The rumor mill is already reporting that Britney walked out during auditions. Check out the new show promo for a little taste of what's in store for Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid when the show returns to NBC this fall.
"Extra's" Terri Seymour talked exclusively with Simon Cowell in NYC about the announcement Britney Spears and Demi Lovato are joining "The X Factor" as new judges.
Singer Britney Spears could be mentoring aspiring vocalists on "The X Factor" very soon, says Deadline.com.
"X Factor" creator Simon Cowell was shaken up Saturday night after coming face-to-face with a woman who broke into his London mansion and was "armed with a brick."
According to the Daily Mail, the intruder wandered around Cowell's posh West London home while Simon was watching TV. Cowell told a friend, "It was an absolutely terrifying experience. Seeing this woman standing there in my house was like something out of a horror movie."
"The X Factor" judge Simon Cowell gave "Extra's" Terri Seymour a private tour of his $22-million London digs.
Take a look!
Singer Janet Jackson may be in preliminary talks to join Simon Cowell as a judge on "The X Factor," says The Hollywood Reporter.
Although Jackson was coy about the subject when asked by Anderson Cooper on his daytime show to air Monday, Feb. 20th, sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the singer has expressed interest in joining the show.
In part two of "Extra's" exclusive interview with Simon Cowell, the "X Factor" creator told our Terri Seymour his plan of attack for competing this fall in what may be the same time slot as NBC's "The Voice."
"If I'm right, 'The Voice' is now going to compete with us in the fall. You have to rethink things even more than we were a couple of weeks ago... 'cause now it's war."
In his first and only interview, "The X Factor" judge Simon Cowell breaks his silence to "Extra's" Terri Seymour about the recent exit of judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, and host Steve Jones.
Seymour asked when Cowell and FOX execs first began discussing changes. He said, "At the beginning of the year-- and we were told it had to happen straight away."

At the rings-n-things #Denver #beadshow and I thought of you @stockannette #jasper #beads 😍
Briana has a nice aunt- I hope she loves her new #necklace 🐦 #birds and #beads 😉 #handmade #etsy #jewelry
2nd #happymailday post- look at my amazing #art #beads from @elysianstudios I loves the sugar #skulls 🎃#Diadelosmuertes #dayofthedead #halloween fun! #handmade #etsy
I am on a retreat but made this #pendant #necklace using #handmade beads from #elysianstudios and a fine silver ring. I love Erin's gypsy trade #beads! #etsy
look how pretty these #handmade #beads from @elysianstudios are! Great service too!
Sweet beads!
Did you see those gorgeous beads? I got them last week from the Rings&Things Denver bead show! http://www.rings-things.com/
I started working with the cranberry pearls and crystals today; perhaps an entry in the pearl category for Beadstar 2011? If I do like this and get it done in time, I may enter. Either way, sweet beads make for a sweet piece!
2 weeks from yesterday will be my last day doing medical reports. I am excited, yet a bit scared; the income has been a safety net for me. Now, I will just have to see how it goes. Hopefully, this will allow me to focus more on my creative endeavors. I know that I create not for monetary gain, but out of the love of it; I do not want to lose that spirit. I have but a little bit of faith, but know that there is a reason for all of this!
Still honored…
Well, I didn't make the cut to be in the Beadstar magazine; only the top 5 in each category are considered winners. I; however, feel like a winner just for making it in the finals at all! Did you go on there and look at all of the lovely pieces that were submitted? Really, I know it must seem like I am just saying it, but I am honored.
The three pieces in the pictures for today's entry were submitted along with a couple of others for another publication. I figured I would make some lemonade!
Thank you all for voting!
Burning the candle at both ends!
I always wondered what that meant exactly; I am getting the picture, nowadays! Everything happens for a reason. If that means that I have to do a million things at the same time, obviously there is a lesson to be learned. Next round of Botox injections is tomorrow; I have a class in the morning, race downtown for painful shots to reduce the tone in my neck and then slog home in the possibly "record breaking" snowfall! Yay!
Check out my "Stroll Through Paris" pendant! I am going to concoct a cool way to string that baby. I teach this technique at beadniks!
Link to my store is coming soon!
Closing Shop:
I have decided to close down the Etsy shop and try other avenues for promoting my jewelry. I have been pondering this for a while now and it really hit home when I was away for the weekend. It is just too crowded for jewelry sellers there…I saw a post in the forums today that stated there are around 1 million listings for jewelry on Etsy! 1 million! That made me feel a little better about the low sales. My views were good some days, lousy on others. Thankfully, I have had sales outside of Etsy or I would be soooo depressed!
For the present time, I am selling my shop out at a HUGE discount. Why? Why not? I just love making people happy. So take advantage of my present good nature and see what you may like.
beadsoul will return in a better place or not- it is really not a worry. I love to create and if it happens, it happens.
It is amazing; when I gave up worrying about the shop, I got a call from a former coworker asking me to make a gift for a common friend. God is good!
Fun stuff: My trip to Wyoming was a nice, whirlwind tour. We spent 12 hours in the car to stay for about 20 hours. It was nice to see everyone and our youngest daughter is now a Godmother! She loved seeing her new cousin/Godchild, as well as her favorite cousin, Alyssa. I will try to post a pic or two whenever the kid gets them uploaded on the computer.
I do have to admit that I am the biggest city girl ever. It blows my mind to be in a small town with nothing to do, no bead stores to shop, etc. It was very hard to not be on the computer for 2 whole days either. I suppose I could have asked my sister to get online, but I was there to see them, not to shop Etsy, check my email, or blog, etc. Spoiled rotten is what I am!!!!
Hello and Happy Monday! As you can see, I am trying to amend my night-owl ways. Life is somewhat back to normal here as my husband is back to work after 5 weeks off; no more staying up all night! I believe this is the first post I have made while it is still daylight!
I am trying to find some beading time today- it is looking like it will be an evening for beads. It is quite chilly here in Colorado, 15 degrees for the high, which makes it perfect for staying in with some colorful stuff. Perhaps I will make something with these beautiful pearls I found last week!
Have a great, God-bless day!
Just a quick hi to you all…I have been working on some altered art pendants for Valentine's day. I hope to have some of them up and running tomorrow. I also wanted to show you this really cool agate that I found on Tuesday. You just knew I couldn't keep out of the bead shops for too long, didn't you?
Have a blessed night/day!

Is a 4 year college always the right way to go?
This decade has seen a wider percentage of people who did not attend college become more succesful than ones who did and now live a debt free life . I want strong opinions.

Jan 31 2013: When I was an employer, I actively looked for the C-student. They were more balanced and better qualified for the jobs I had to offer. In finance, this meant that they were better able to apply their book-learning to the task at hand. When I moved into sales, C students were more socially adapted and made much better sales people (so we all earned more money).
If I wanted to hire someone for a research position or in the IT field (etc), I might well choose differently. I have no experience in those fields so I have no basis for comparison.

The Beginning
Tagged: boys name, girls name
I'm not preggers yet but my fiance & I are planning on starting a family sooner than later so that's why I joined. I come from a large family with a lot of "recycled" names, mine included. But here's the list of ideas I have thus far. TA!
What do you think??

embraParticipant9 months, 3 weeks ago
Welcome! I love Nolan and Clara.
Thanks embra!!
lcd1912Participant9 months, 3 weeks ago
Jace, Nolan and Adelaide get my vote!
TheWishingStarParticipant9 months, 3 weeks ago
Jace – I prefer Jason, with Jace/Jase as a possilble nickname. Jace is cool, and I can see it on a kid or teen really well, but I just don't think it ages well.
Felix – I like it a lot! I would worry that it could come off as kind of goofy and cartoony to some people, or as a cat name, not a human one. But I've always thought it was a really cool name.
Hugh – I like the name, I think it's different and classy, but it kind of bothers me that it's just one syllable without any real consonant sound. It seems incomplete – most people I can think of named Hugh, I know by Hugh -Last Name-, not just by Hugh.
Dorian – I love it!! I added Dorian to my (long) list recently, I just rally like how it sounds. And it's not too common. Definitely my fave of your boys names.
Simon – I like the name, but I think the connection to "Simon Says" is unavoidable and could be really annoying for a kid growing up.
Nolan – Not my style, but it's nice.
Rhys – Not a fan, I always just think of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Plus it's so gender-neutral, but not in that awkward "using a boys name on a girl" sort of way. I dunno, I'm just not crazy about it.
Evangeline – I tell people this a lot, but I really just do not like Evangeline. To me it's painfully religious in tone, and it sounds far too much like just actually calling your kid "Evangelist". Plus, it reads a lot like Evil Angel. A lot of people, especially on this site, like it a lot, and I know I'm in the minority, but I just cannot find a reason to like it.
Clara – Simple and sweet. Clara's a really pretty, classic name to me. Can't really go wrong with it.
Alana – I like Alana a lot! Though one concern would be that there are multiple spellings (I've heard Alanna the most often, though I think Alana is more common), and that it's very similar to other names that are gaining popularity, like Elaina, Elena, Alayna, etc. I think Alana is really pretty, but you'd have to accept that the name may have to be spelled out for everyone.
Jael – This seems like a fantasy-novel boys name to me. Definitely doesn't have the classic and feminine appeal of your other girls names.
Lacey – Cute, simple, a bit unique. Not my style, but I think it could be really nice.
Imogen – Like Evangeline, a lot of people on here like it. I like that it's something different, but it sounds like a contagious disease to me. I like it's historical and literary value, but I don't find the name at all attractive.
Anastasia – Love it! Elegant, classic, and easy to find a nickname for (Ana/Anna, Annie, Stacy, etc.)
Adelaide – Pretty, classic, and not very common these days. I like it, though it's not my favorite.
Hope that helps!!
Brilliant! Thanks lcd1913 ;D
Loved your detailed reply TheWishingStar. Gave me the insights I was looking for.
TwoSapphiresParticipant9 months, 3 weeks ago
Jace–I also like it better as a nickname and agree with pp that I'm not sure it ages well.
Felix–NMS. Just a little odd-sounding to me.
Hugh–Sounds a little old and stuffy to me.
Dorian–Sounds very feminine to me.
Simon–I love it.
Nolan–I like it a lot.
Rhys–I like it fairly well.
Evangeline–This is one of our top girl name choices. It does get mixed reception on this board; it's remarkably popular on this board but it seems like some people (not just here but in general) find it very religious sounding and others just think it sounds classy/vintagey.
Clara–Love! It would be a top choice if it weren't rhymey with our LN.
Alana–It's OK, a little 1980s to me.
Jael–Too close to Jail IMO..
Lacey–Not a fan. Sounds very stripperish to me.
Imogen–This name is increasing in popularity somewhat but I find it rather awkward-sounding.
Anastasia–I like it quite a bit, though I think now it has a strong 50 Shades of Gray association so that might be a drawback.
Adelaide–I kind of like this name, but I'm a little turned off by the "aide/laide" at the end. I like Adeline better.
ashthedreamerParticipant9 months, 3 weeks ago
I like Simon, Rhys, Evangeline, Clara, and Adelaide (although I agree–I prefer Adeline!). If Hugo was an option rather than Hugh, that would get my vote, as well!
Nice list.
Thanks TwoSapphires!
Ashthedreamer–I like Hugo but its already in use by a cousin who has a Hugo Emmanuel Thanks for your input!!
I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT JAEL IS BIBLICAL IN ORIGIN. Since Biblical names are popular, I wanted to find one that wasn't as popular.
embraParticipant9 months, 3 weeks ago
If you are looking for less common biblical boy names, one of these might fit:
Ezra, Ephraim, Gideon, Ezekiel (nn Zeke), or Abram. At least I think they are all bible names. I especially like Gideon and Abram, personally.
yellowwattsParticipant9 months, 3 weeks ago
I like Rhys and Adelaide (nn Adel(e) or Heidi).
MyosotisParticipant9 months ago
I love boy names that end in -ian/-eon and Dorian's on my list as well. Along the same lines I also like Fabian, Gideon and Philon (Fee-lon), and out of your girls list my favourite has to be Imogen.
jessicapavParticipant8 months, 4 weeks ago
Jace – picking up a lot of popularity. My husband's name is Jace, most people think that either he said "Jason" or that it is short for "Jason", though the increase in use will probably knock this problem out in the future
Felix – I love virtue names, this is one of my favorites. It sounds classic, dashing, fun-loving
Hugh – not a big fan. Sounds old, and I agree with others – it's strange that it's just a sound…
Dorian – nice, old fashioned, but not too much so. The only association I can give it is The Picture of Dorian Gray. I think that will be what most people think of, so if you do name your son this you should read/re-read the book to make sure that's an okay association with you.
Simon – love it, old fashioned but gaining ground. Certainly has a "smart" connotation
Nolan – not my taste at all.
Rhys – I'm not a huge fan of this name, but I do prefer this spelling.
Evangeline – Beautiful. It does sound "biblical" or "Christian" but where that word comes from is "good news" which, is beautiful no matter your religion
Clara – pretty and classic. Though I feel it is really close to Clare, which seems to me to be very popular (so that's a down point for me)
Alana – I've never known this name, but it does have a beautiful sound.
Jael – excellent woman in the Bible, especially if your little girl turns out to be BA. Unfortunately for us English speakers it is very similar to "jail"
Lacey – don't really like it. Very frilly, insubstantial.
Imogen – on my list also. Just love it for many reasons. Though if I use it, I will be nervous that people will find it too old fashioned and strange. I like it much better than the "Imo-gene" form of the name.
Anastasia – pretty, but I don't like all the nick names (disclaimer: I don't really like name diminutives at all)
Adelaide – lovely and old fashioned. Not too strange or unknown.
What do you think??
kimihaParticipant8 months, 3 weeks ago
Jace .i like jace. its cute and cool sounding
Felix i dont like this. sounds dorky
Hugh dont care for it.
Dorian eh i want to like it but i dont that much
Simon i like simon. simple, yet uncommon

Evangeline this is the most beautiful grand fabulous name
Clara very sweet and pretty
Alana dont like for some reason
Jael dont know how to say this. kind of looks like jail too
Lacey this is cute. i like it
Imogen cool old fashioned name
Anastasia too long but its not a bad name
Adelaide kind of reminds me of lemonade but its a cool name that i think is coming back into style

It increasingly seems like it's all over but the screaming with regards to Americans' hopes of not going over the so-called fiscal cliff. But there's plenty of screaming.
After failing to pass a budget since, roughly speaking, the Lincoln administration (which is largely how we got into this current mess) Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid complained that the Republicans weren't doing their jobs…and, apparently forgetting to use Obama's "words that heal instead of wound," accused House Speaker John Boehner of being a "dictator."
Perhaps because, much like Hitler, Boehner allowed Representatives to go home for Christmas where they're "out watching movies and watching their kids play soccer and basketball and doing all kinds of things" while waiting for any Democrat to make even a marginally serious offer to address our nation's fiscal woes.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media is doing its best to put pressure on the Republicans. Only the Republicans. The NY Post, for instance, suggests that raising taxes on all Americans and implementing forced spending cuts will result in "financial Hell for every American," a new recession, and a "criminal jump in unemployment." We're not sure if rivers will also run with blood and the skies fill with locusts, but it's certainly possible if Republicans keep watching their kids play soccer and basketball instead of handing those same kids a few more trillion dollars in debt. (Note: the GOP is expected to return to Washington on Sunday, assuming there are no good football games on TV or gun shows to attend.)
With consequences so horrorific, you'd think the NY Post might take the advice of a financial expert like, oh, Barack Obama who said in 2009 that "the last thing you want to do is to raise taxes in the middle of a recession" – especially on those job creators with incomes of $200,000 or more. Because this is the one thing that the president insists is a non-negotiable issue, despite the fact that experts predict that this, too, will cause recession and job loss – while making no impact on our deficit whatsoever.
Indeed, Barack Hussein Obama's only goal with his kamikaze fiscal cliff policy is to punish the evil rich and cripple their ability to do business. The fact that it will also create financial Hell for everyone else is simply a bonus in his pea-sized, Socialist brain.

Seeking Expert Advice About Personal Injury Law? Read This
Seeking advice on how to proceed with a personal injury case? You have come to the right place! When it comes to selecting a personal injury lawyer, the last thing you want to do is simply hire the first lawyer that you find. You must take a number of factors into consideration.
Never let anyone that is at fault for your injury convince you that you should take a payout without contacting an attorney. The amount they offer may sound fair, but they is no real way to be sure of that without contacting someone that knows exactly how much your damages are worth.
Work with a company that focusses solely on the subject of personal injury law. A law firm that handles a number of different legal fields, such as family, tax and criminal law, may not have the experience to secure you a good monetary settlement. An experienced personal injury law firm will handle all aspects of your case such as the initial investigation, offering advice, drafting documents and court representation.
Look for a personal injury lawyer that'll work on a contingency fee. What we learned on the website of the Disparti Law Group is that this means he or she will cover all costs associated with the case and be paid at the end through a percentage of any settlement. You may need to shop around to find the right one here, as some lawyers may be more comfortable with working your case like this than others.
Hiring a specialized attorney for a personal injury case is something you may already have thought of, but it's important to find someone even more specialized. For example, if you were in a car accident, find a lawyer who deals specifically with car accidents. Do the same for workplace injuries or residential accidents.
Deciding about which lawyer to choose can be a very difficult decision, but it could also be one of the most important decisions that you will make in your life, as your choice can decide your future. Weigh the above considerations very carefully. Make wise choices and the best of luck to you.

An introduction to support on Envato Market
- Envato staff look over every item before it can be sold on Envato Market.
- Technical items contain help files to introduce you to the item and its components.
- Authors can choose to support their items but this is optional and may vary.
Hands-on support for this item is provided by Frique
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it be integrated on my WordPress site?
As it's not a WordPress plugin, you'd have to manually edit the theme files. Mainly header.php to include jquery, the CSS and the plugin, and then put the image list on the page you'd want it to appear.
Instructions on editing the HTML are all in the package. You just have to be comfortable editing theme files and know that it won't have a settings page in your WordPress admin area / automatically take images from your WP site.
Does Etalage support jQuery no-conflict mode?
The plugin itself is noconflict ready. Just replace the "$" with "jQuery" where you initiate the plugin, like so:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery('#etalage').etalage(); });
Can I use images with mixed image ratios?
No. The dimensions among a set should only vary if the ratio is equal (like 100×200 and 200×400).
You can consider adding whitespace to the sides of images to create equal dimensions or let a PHP script do that for you.
Does Etalage work with responsive layouts?
The concept of Etalage is to enlarge images and thus it needs some space.
A common way to integrate it in a responsive layout is to use a media query to hide Etalage and replace it with a static image when the screen gets too small.
The Fancybox popups don't act as galleries/groups.
That is indeed not possible at the moment.
When Etalage triggers Fancybox, it provides the source image dynamically and Fancybox then doesn't recognise it as part of a group.
Feel free to hack the "example_fancybox.html" file in the download package and let me know if you find a way.
I bought a theme on themeforest containing Etalage. Can i receive support?
This is actually the responsibility of the theme author. They own the license and since the product is integrated into their product, they are in turn responsible for delivering support for their implementation.

Real business value
Enterprise search can be used to extract real business value, but user satisfaction with enterprise search can often be poor. At the same time, a fresh approach to enterprise search presents many real opportunities for organisations, say speakers at the upcoming Enterprise Search Europe conference.
"For many years, search has been as a silver bullet to cope with the exponential rise in digital content created and retained in the enterprise", says Matt Mullen, Analyst at Real Story Group. "Bolting a big and expensive search tool on top of this morass is a solution that the enterprise has been sold and largely adopted. The trouble is that this often just does produce the results promised by vendors, or required within organisations that use the tools. Now there are even greater demands for real-time (or close to real-time) analysis of this internal and increasingly external data, many organisations are taking a fresh look at how they approach their strategy on search and ... (must) make decisions about how they approach these issues in the face of Big Data".
Mullen's presentation will focus on why enterprise search works the way it does, and aims to give delegates an understanding of how they can start to meet the challenges that they face in their organisation. "If anything", he comments, "I anticipate that they'll realise that those challenges are far from purely technological".
Gerard Bredenoord of Knowledge Innovations agrees. He will be telling the story of his work implementing a global search solution at 'magic circle' law firm Linklaters. "The answer will never be to 'just install' and point the solution at the content", he says. "It will always be a hard journey that combines technology, content, people and process." And, he points out, it is important to understand that investing in search is not a technology decision but a strategic direction that a firm takes.
Enterprise Search Europe takes place in London 30-31 May 2012.

Finley and Jackson's "Modern Shabby-Chic" Bedrooms & Playrooms
Kids Room Tour
Name: Finley and Jackson
Location: Seattle, WA
Room Size: Bedroom: 10' x13'; Playroom: 9' x12' feet
This darling brother and sister must have wonderful sleeps in their sweet shabby-chic and modern rooms. Cozy, light, warm, subtle pops of color and thoughtful vintage accents combined with Emily's (Finley and Jackson's mom) spectacular taste and creative aesthetic make this tour memorable. To learn more about Finley and Jackson's rooms, check out Emily's (mommy) style/design blog: www.raynebo.net.
How would you describe the look and feel of these rooms?
Finley's room, even before there was anything in it, was already perfect for what I had in mind. I wanted her nursery to be feminine, romantic and vintage-inspired. Both Finley and Jackson's rooms have 9 foot ceilings and white crown molding door frames and baseboards. Both rooms also have two windows that are each 6 feet high. All of these characteristics already gave the room a romantic feel. Our soft gray with a hint of lavender walls were also the perfect backdrop for what I had envisioned for Finley's room. I started collecting furniture from many different sources in a white distressed finish with more of an aged look. I thought the white pieces would look clean and crisp against the white floors. The centerpiece of the room is definitely her French Vintage Chaise, inspired by a French Louis XV style. I then added a muted pink medallion rug by Restoration Hardware Baby and Child and a couple of gold accents pieces (including the pin board I made) to finish the color palate.
Jackson's room feels very vintage-modern. I was pregnant with Jackson the first time I walked into this room that was destined to be his. On a sunny day, Jackson's room is the sunniest and warmest room in the house. I thought that adding pops of bold colors (flag banner I made, his knit blanket, rug and locker dresser) would compliment both the walls and the white floors. I also love finding little vintage toys to display around his room.
We were lucky to have an extra room for a playroom that has two huge windows with a great amount of sunlight (the biggest window is about 5' x 6' feet), creating a bright and cheery ambience. This is a smaller room, but the ceilings are 9.5' high so it actually feels much bigger. I really like the idea of displaying special toys and favorite books, so all of the storage in this room is exposed. I also love creating unique ways to display photos, cards, and the kids' drawings, so I have my pin boards, wired frames etc. all over the walls. We don't have much of an entryway in our house and the playroom is right by the front door, so we created sort of a "mudroom/wall" for the kids' outerwear, hats, etc. The style of this room is very much vintage-rustic!
What is your favorite piece or element?
Finley's room is my favorite room in the house - it is very shabby-chic meets vintage-glam.
Every inch of Jackson's walls were already painted in this beautiful mural; perfect for a little boy. Two of my other favorite characteristics (in both Finley and Jackson's rooms) are the exposed brick (old air ducts) and the white painted floors.
As for Finley and Jackson's playroom we remodeled it by decreasing it in size to accommodate for a larger walk-in closet for the master bedroom on the other side of the wall. We also removed the door and widened the doorway to make the space more open and accessible, which is one of my favorite aspects of this room. It feels like it just flows into the living room and it's so inviting.
What was the biggest challenge decorating this room?
The mural in Jackson's room has to still be my favorite aspect of his room, although at the same time it posed somewhat of a challenge because I'm pretty limited in what I am able to hang on his walls. I had to keep wall décor to a minimum because there is so much going on with just the walls and I didn't want it to look cluttered.
What do your friends say about the rooms?
For Finley's room, they say it looks like it's straight out of a catalog! Everyone just falls in love with Jackson's room when they walk through the door, just like I did. It was destined to belong to a little boy.
Do you have any advice for parents creating a room for their child?
Just go with your gut and have fun with it! Don't worry about things being too "matchy-matchy." Every room has it's own character before you even start filling it with stuff. Take that into consideration when you're thinking about what kind of style you're going to go with.
If money were no object, what's your dream source?

Adorable. But I kept wanting to scream -- "NO PLASTIC HANGERS! EVER!" (I don't mind plastic hangers but with everything else being so precisely cute, the plastic hangers stood out.)
I love these rooms--everything about them. I wish I had had so much space for my kids.
I just have one question about the chaise. I find it difficult to get in and out of a chaise holding a baby in my arms--is it just me? I don't find them very practical for nursing, snuggling, reading a book, or soothing. A rocking chair with a foot stool is so much better.
Babies wake up when joustled by moms who are trying to skooch their way out of a chaise. Maybe Emily could comment.
I have lurked on AT for years without ever commenting, but I had to just create an account so I could ask what the paint color is in Finley's room? It's beautiful!
Those babies and that dog are about the cutest things ever.
Everything is adorable! I actually liked seeing the plastic hangers, they are realistic and have a 'not trying too hard' effect.
The children are beautiful, the dog is charming but I will never understand the hangers with clothes hanging on walls. I will be happy when that fad is over.
Beautiful spaces! I'd love to know the source of the blanket on the chaise. It looks adorable.
Kids clothing can be especially charming. I enjoyed seeing them hung up like they are here. I think everything about these rooms is just wonderful!
Kids and rooms both are adorable!
Adorable but yes no plastic hangers on display!
Gorgeous and sweet rooms! x
Wow! I absolutely love it! Not a picky person but for some reason the plastic hangers bothered me, and the clothes hanging on the walls...but the rest blew me away! Great space!!!!
I rarely look at the kids' rooms posted on this site, but these rooms are darling. I'm not a fan of hanging clothing on the wall either, but everything else was perfect. These are fortunate children!
Aaaaaand I die. These are the sweetest, loveliest, most positive spaces for kids I've ever seen.
What's wrong with plastic hangers?
Also, I have the same question as @Sam... source for the blanket on the chaise?
These are sweet rooms. I like the branch clothing rod, tree mural, and the rug in the playroom the best. So many kids' clothes are beautiful to look at, I like a few pieces hung up outside the closet. I think the plastic hangers are fine. (Seriously, people, you're worried plastic hangers make a poor design statement???) I tried to keep the plastic toys in the house to a minimum. But I was given a fat stack of plastic hangers 10 years ago, and they're still in use. They won't win Most Beautiful prize, but they're also not as dangerous as a wire hook if they end up in a kid's mouth.
I got a big chuckle out of Finley's nightstand. Dixie Furniture Co., perhaps? It looks just like my childhood set. I was lucky to even have the four-poster canopy bed. Girly heaven!
The nursery is sweet, but doesn't look very practical once the child starts growing into a toddler. The bright and fun room looks much more inviting for a child.
Very cute and well thought out but I agree with the other comments that say "no" yo the clothes on the walls. The jacket and shirt next to the tree look really out of place. I would take those two down and just have the ones hanging on the hooks on the other wall
Too busy dying at the cuteness of those children to care about the design much!
That said - it's lovely. Especially Jackson's room - that mural is divine.
Beautiful rooms! The colors are amazing and the tall ceilings and brick are fantastic. And thank you for having their books on a bookshelf where they can actually reach them. I must say I'm not a fan of the fad of the front-cover-facing-out on bookshelves going up the wall that I see so often on here. Yes, it looks pretty, but I feel like what's the point if the kids can't actually reach the books?
Seriously sweet and lovely.
These rooms are just plain delicious.
Hi Sam! The throw on the chaise in Finley's room is by Amity Home. :)
Hi Sarah, in response to your comment: I have a couple of reasons for why I display the covers of a few books. Most of these books are some of our favorites, and since my kids are still too young to read the titles on the spine of a book, being able to see a book's cover simply makes it easier for them to find. I also find the covers of some books to be exceptionally beautiful, so I like to display them as I would for any piece of art. Lastly, we place some of our "special" books up higher (but low enough for my older child to reach) because my younger child is still too young to be capable of handling a paper book properly (she still draws on the pages, rips pages out, etc.). I totally agree with you though. Finley has plenty of her board books to pick from until she graduates to paper. :)
Jen JoJay - I actually don't remember what color we used for Finley's walls. Sorry!
Birch - To tell you the truth, I didn't do a lot of nursing in that chair when Finley was a newborn because she was in our room for the first few months. However, when she was a little older and sleeping in her crib, the chaise was actually really convenient for night feedings because I was able to nurse with her while laying down (something I hadn't even thought of when I initially purchased it). It may not be as easy to get out of compared to a rocking chair, but I love snuggling up with her on it when we're reading because there's room to sprawl out. Plus, one of our dogs (pictured above) reads with us at bedtime so there's plenty of room for everyone!
In response to the comments re: plastic hangers: I have plastic hangers for safety reasons, period. I agree that they're not as aesthetically pleasing as wooden hangers, and could've just replaced them with wood when I submitted these pictures, but I suppose I just got used to the look of the plastic hangers and honestly, didn't give it a second thought before it was picture time. Thanks for the comments though! Keeps me thinking...
Love the old toys but the picture of the child chewing on one makes me wonder about lead.

January Vanity Fair- It's Cool!
January Vanity Fair magazine has a spread of "Downton's Grand Dames" and guess who the two women that they featured are, jeeez, how did you guess?
Yes, Shirley, Martha Levinson, the Dowager Countess of Grantham son's mother-in-law, and Maggie Smith, photographed in the Octagon Room, at Basildon Park, in West Berkshire, England, of course, where else. It is just cool, and 'searches' in Vanity Fair for other articles about Shirley is well worth your time; I think that they like her too.
