I am retired and live in Lincoln County, TN. While I work the entire Lincoln County area, my primary interests are in the northern half of the county and bordering areas of Marshall, Bedford, and Moore counties. My ancestors in this area lived in Mimosa, Charity, Chestnut Ridge, Petersburg, and Howell communities. A high school classmate and I focus on Locating and restoring lost, neglected, otherwise not maintained cemeteries in the area. It is our way of showing respect for those who preceded us.

East Cyruston Cemetery
LINK: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&GSln=Milliken&GSiman=1&GScid=11605&CRid=11605&pt=East%20Cyruston%20Cemetery&
Since you live in Lincoln County, please consider a trip to the undocumented East Cyruston Cemetery.
A fellow f.a.g. volunteer has confirmed it is there, but abandoned and over grown. A visit early in the spring is advisable, before it's covered in new growth.
I'm speculating it was the farm of John Milliken, abt 1751-1815 and Isabelle Doak. They lived and farmed their adult lives in Lincoln Co., TN. I believe they are buried there, but I don't know if they have memorials or not.
Some granite markers, with later dates are visible. The Lincoln Co, Historical Society has not documented this cemetery.
Any type of photo would be appreciated. It's just off the road, on a present day working farm.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Samuel Milliken
Thank you for searching for Samuel and Elizabeth's tombstones. This couple belong to an old TN family. If you visit it again, and can add memorials, with photos for other Millikens, it would be appreciated. I live in OH and will never make it to Lincoln County.
Thanks for your help.

I'll send the picture to you, probably this weekend. I'm communicating with my husband's cousin, who has the original, to determine how she knows the identity of the subjects. She says she has another picture of the twins which I've asked her to scan and send to me and I'll forward that to you as well. The picture I scanned is saved as a JPEG (3.97MB) and a TIFF (32.6MB). Do you have a preference?

Thank you for adding Mamie and Clara. Dr. Josiah Walker Percy is the son of Charles Brown Percy from Alabama and Mary Ann Henrietta Nichol. The Nichol family was prominent in Nashville. Josiah Walker Percy and Vedora Anna Greer moved to Texas several years after they married but Dr. Percy was never able to establish a successful practice there and Vedora eventually took her girls back to TN where they lived with her dad, Thomas Vance Greer. As you said, Josiah eventually joined his wife in TN and that is where he died and is buried.
I'm not familiar with the Marsh Book for Lincoln County Burials but you must believe it to be a reliable resource. Are there any other infant Percys mentioned? In the 1880 census of Lincoln County there is a "Not Named" Percy son whose age is listed as 4/12. He never shows up again so I assume he died.
I have a scanned copy of an original picture of Thomas Vance Greer and his twin brother, John Jacob Greer, and an unidentified woman. They are all elderly in the picture. If you have any interest, I would be happy to share.
Thanks for the good wishes for LSU. We had a pretty disappointing end of the season. I hope they get it figured out so we can get back to enjoying the Tigers winning and Les eating grass and put the rumors and controversies behind us. Geaux Tigers!

Hi Jimbo!
I wanted to ask what information you have on #87101157 Annie P. Percy? You don't have a picture posted so I wondered where the information came from. This appears to be a previously unknown "aunt" to my father-in-law. His grandparents are Josiah Walker Percy and Vedora Anna Greer and they were living in Lincoln County, TN in 1880. I would appreciate any light you could shed on this. Thanks so much.

RE: J W Foster
Sorry to be so long getting back to you. Hope you have seen my messages that the pictures you sent me appear to be a different man than my James Wilkerson Foster - the birth and death dates are different. Also, so far I'm still checking on the other Foster grave you mentioned.

J W Foster
I thank you for the photos you sent. Just one thing - the dates do not correspond with the J W Foster (his name was James Wilkerson Foster) that I was trying to locate. Perhaps I am overlooking something.
Did you happen to get the GPS location? Meanwhile I'll see if I can figure out who is who on my family tree. Thanks

Stone of Destiny is fake, claims Alex Salmond
By Auslan Cramb, Scottish Correspondent
Last Updated: 1:41PM BST 16/06/2008
Alex Salmond dropped a cultural bombshell yesterday when he claimed that the Stone of Destiny, one of Scotland's most famous relics, was a medieval fake.
Alex Salmond arriving at the Scottish Grand Committee in Dumfries carrying the Stone of Destiny
Scottish, English and British monarchs have been crowned on the ancient coronation stone since the ninth century.
It spent 700 years under the chair in Westminster Abbey after it was seized in 1296 by King Edward I, and was finally returned to Scotland 12 years ago.
It has since been viewed at Edinburgh Castle by tens of thousands of people, and is regarded as a symbol of Scottish independence.
According to legend, Jacob used the ancient stone as a pillow when he dreamt of a ladder to heaven.
But Scotland's First Minister is convinced that it may be no more than a worthless lump of Perthshire sandstone.
He believes it was passed off as the real coronation stone when Edward stormed Scone Abbey in 1296.
Mr Salmond said: "If you're the abbot of Scone and the strongest and most ruthless king in Christendom is charging toward you in 1296 to steal Scotland's most sacred object and probably put you and half of your cohorts to death, do you do nothing and wait until he arrives or do you hide yourself and the stone somewhere convenient in the Perthshire hillside? I think the second myself."
He is not even convinced that the "fake" stone plundered from Scone was the same one that was returned to Scotland by Michael Forsyth, the then Tory Scottish Secretary, in 1996.
On Christmas Day 1950, the Stone of Destiny was stolen from below the coronation chair in Westminster Abbey by a group of radical nationalist students.
There have long been rumours that a Glasgow stonemason, Baillie Robert Gray, made copies of the stone when he was asked to repair it after it broke in two during the raid.
After a brief sojourn north of the border it was later handed back to British authorities and was used in the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
"There's no question that Bertie Gray made copies," said Mr Salmond. "It's like the Loch Ness monster, it's certainly a puzzle and a mystery which is best not definitively answered."
The First Minister revealed his views on the eve of the premiere of a Hollywood film about the theft of the stone. The film stars Robert Carlyle and Billy Boyd, and the SNP hopes the movie will help boost its campaign for independence.
Ian Hamilton, a QC who was one of the four students who stole the relic 58 years ago, said he remained convinced it was the real thing.
"Had it been a substitute for Edward to carry off it would have been produced when the king (Robert the Bruce) regained his kingdom. It wasn't," said Mr Hamilton, whose book, the Stone of Destiny, is published this week.
A spokesman for Westminster Abbey said she had always believed the stone was genuine.
The stone is genuine.
What next? The King isn't English?
There have been a lot of bloody minded monarchs in England's history, but Edward I was one of the worst. Put him in the 20th century and he would have kept pace with Hitler and Stalin.
That is correct. There is no English King.
This speculation has been around a long time. Liafail looked genuine enough when I saw it back in 2001.
Only 12 years and the Scots have lost the Stone. It was safe for 700 years in England
BALLS!..... Cried the Queen...... If I had two I'd be King!
I don't know but the Stone of Happenstance is safely in my backyard.
Um, you do know that the "House of Windsor" is more properly termed the "House of Saxe-Cobourg Gotha" right? QEII and Prince ChuckleHead are Germans by ethnicity.
Next they will be saying there are no leprechauns in Ire.
Sounds like a good plot for National Treasure 3 . . .
Try German.
B******* said the Prince, I've got a pair and I ain't King.
Please tell everyone on FR, why is 'the King' German? Having a German-sounding family surname isn't the same thing as being German. It's like saying Buraq Obama Muhammed 'ZionKiller-Jihad' Hussein isn't American. Ok, bad example.
Well now you're just being silly...
Scotland's Destiny was written in Scone...er...stone.
Just so you'll know, the "real" king of England is in Australia.
They're Welsh, aren't they? From Wales? (which isn't England)
Is that right? Isn't Wales North West on England?
According to legend, Jacob used the ancient stone as a pillow when he dreamt of a ladder to heaven.
Intriguing legend. Or is there more to it than just a legend?
The Israelites, on their way to Palestine, supposedly carried Jacob's stone with them when they left Egypt...along with Joseph's bones. And the stone was used in the crowning of the kings of Israel...or so the story goes.
But, if this stone meant so much to the Jews, why did they allow the Irish to end up with it? Or rather the Scots, which supposedly carried it with them from Eire when they moved into Scotland.
Anybody know the details of this legend?
Arabs used to worship rocks, mostly black ones. In fact they still do. Just one now.
The Stone of Scone, also known as the Stone of Destiny, is seen as of huge significance to Scotland's nationhood. It was the seat on which generations of Kings of Scotland, and perhaps Kings of Dalriada before them, were crowned.
Until 1296 it was housed at Scone Abbey, where the coronations of Kings of Scotland took place: the last being of John Balliol. But Edward I of England stripped Scotland of all emblems of nationhood in 1296, and took the Stone of Destiny to a new home in Westminster Abbey. For the next 700 years it was to be housed in a specially-built coronation chair, on which Kings and Queens of England, then of Britain, were crowned.
The legend of the Stone of Destiny goes back over 3000 years. It is said that Ramses II of Egypt had a daughter called Scota. After the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, Princess Scota left Egypt and roamed the middle east for over a thousand years looking for her own promised land. Later she wandered further afield, crossing Spain en route to Ireland. Eventually, from the north coast of Ireland, she saw what she had been seeking for so long: what would later become Scotland. The Scots and the Picts, one version of the legend continues, were both the descendents of Princess Scota and her consort, Gathelos, a Prince of Scythia (part of modern Iran).
When Scota arrived in Scotland, the story continues, she had in her luggage a block of sandstone weighing 152kg. This had been used as a pillow by Jacob when he had the dream reported in Genesis about Jacob's Ladder. The Stone of Destiny, as it became known, was first located at Dunadd during the time of Dalriada, before being moved to Scone by King Kenneth I.
Until Christmas Day, 1950, the Stone of Destiny remained where it had been placed by Edward I, in Westminster Abbey. Four students from Glasgow University broke into Westminster Abbey in the early hours of the morning and removed the stone, accidentally breaking it in two as they did so. The stone was subsequently repaired by a Glasgow stonemason before being hidden in a tractor repair shed a Firemore, north of Inverasdale in Wester Ross.
But it was becoming clear that public opinion in Scotland was not as overwhelmingly in favour of the removal of the Stone of Destiny as the perpetrators had hoped. So on 11 August 1951 the Stone of Destiny was left, covered in a Saltire, at the altar in the ruins of Arbroath Abbey. It was returned to a repaired Coronation Chair in good time for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II (who ought to be know north of the Border as Queen Elizabeth I of Scotland: the first Queen Elizabeth was not Queen of Scotland) in 1953.
On 15 November 1996, as a result of an initiative by the Conservative Prime Minister John Major, the Stone of Destiny returned to Scotland once more, this time under military escort as it crossed the River Tweed at Coldstream. In now lives alongside the Honours of Scotland in Edinburgh Castle, though it will be returned to Westminster Abbey when needed for Coronations. Many saw this as a political ploy to resurrect the Conservatives' failing support in Scotland. It didn't work: the 1997 General Election saw the Conservative Party emerge without a single Scottish seat in Parliament.
Rumours persist about the Stone of Destiny. Some say that monks at Scone Abbey switched the stone and that what Edward I took to England was not the real Stone of Destiny. Others claim that those who stole the stone on Christmas Day 1950 switched the stone, and that what was returned on April 1951 was not the original: which was instead hidden in a peat bank in Wester Ross. As with everything else to do with the Stone of Destiny, the importance of the symbolism surrounding it far outweighs the block of sandstone itself, all 152kg of it.
"By ethnicity" how far back?
Do we have to relive the Norman Conquest all over, or can we concede that there is indeed a race today that can truly be called "English?"
Actually, Queen Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, is from the House of Battenberg, which, in its anglicized form, is "Mountbatten." Prince Charles is actually a Mountbatten. The Queen is from Victoria's lineage -- Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
And the Saxe-Coburgs were not thought very highly of by the bulk of German royalty for associating with those "white trash" Battenbergs.
Better known as the Scone of Stone
The Scone of Stone and the authenticity thereof is a plot point of one of Terry Pratchett's discworld novels. Don't recall which one, though...
Thanks for the info. I note the article says that Princess Scota brought the stone of destiny to Scotland, but it didn't say how she came to be in possession of it. It still doesn't answer how something of such obvious significance to Jews would have wound up in the possession of an Egyptian Princess... in Scotland.
The Coronation chair used to contain the Stone of Scone. When I saw the chair a few years ago in Westminster Abbey I was shocked that lots of people have managed to carve their initials into it. I thought this carving was a sign of the the times but according to Wikipedia it goes back over two centuries.
They're all krauts. Here's a lineage chart through 1066 for the Kings.
Here's a lineage chart from 1832.
And then there's this flap:
<Please,please, please stop referrring to the 'British monarchy' as 'English'. There hasn't been a English monarch since 1066. First there were Norman French, then Angevin French, then Welsh , the Scots, then Dutch, then German... leading us to the current lot, the Saxe-Coburg Gotha's, whoops sorry I meant 'Windsor'...
I'm out of here...!
I know that Prince Philip's family is closely related to the royal family of Greece, and that they were related to the Russian czars (Alexander & Nicholas) and Nicholas II's czarina, Alexandra.
Suffice it to say that most Western European nobility is ... to put it politely ... inter-related.
Thanks Blam. They should check the bottom, see if there's a little sliding door with a key inside. No one to ask who would know where the "real" stone wound up.

Non-WASP Salamander
1002 AD, the recognition of Brian Boru as High King of Ireland.
And I've got the stone of silliness
Well, we Americans have our own "Stone of Density", aka John McCain's brain...
Really? Who might that king be?
Yes, there are English people. But they are not the royals; the royals are German which goes back to, someone correct me if I'm wrong, 1714 after the death of Queen Anne. None of her many children outlived her and there was fear of a Catholic retaking the throne. So the closest Protestant Stuart descendent was found in Hanover and he became King George I.
It was a somewhat snarkey, rhetorical question but thanks for answering....;D
The Tudors considered themselves Welsh, but Elizabeth I was the last of the line.
Given what we know about Edward, I rather doubt anyone could have denied him what he wanted.

Campus Housing:
My experience with housing has been great!
Campus Housing:
Living on campus, in my opinion, is one of the best scenarios for college living. You're no more than a 10 min. walk or bus ride from class and most of everything you need from dining halls to fitness centers and recreation are also within walking distance.
Campus Housing:
I enjoyed living on campus. It was very convenient for getting to class, eating, and going to the gym. It also was a cool way to meet new people. The rooms were small, but came with beds, desks, dressers, closets, clean bathrooms, refrigerator/freezer, and microwave. The bathrooms and halls were cleaned a few times a week, which was great. The RAs were a little annoying, but did their jobs. The dorms also offered TV lounges, laundry rooms, mail and package delivery rooms, and study lounges.
Campus Housing:
In the suite bathrooms you have to bring a lot of your own things such as hand soap and other toiletries. The rooms aren't as big as you'd expect them to be. The social atmosphere in the suite is nice because you get to know a smaller amount of people. The housing process is ok, it is a tad bit confusing because you can apply for a residence hall or a village. If you apply for both you will be placed in a village instead of a residence hall. Also for the roommate selection process you can choose someone, but if you applied to live in a village and the roommate you asked for didn't. You will be placed with someone else. If this happens to you CALL THE HOUSING OFFICE!!!
Campus Housing:
The convenience of much of the housing options is impossible to beat, however many of the options have very small rooms. You become very adjusted to the smaller room sizes, especially in the tri-towers where I lived this year. Bragaw is definitely the top choice among all the people I know. Many students move to off-campus housing after their freshman year for more freedom, but after looking at it from a financial standpoint, it makes more sense to live on-campus. The only substantial savings you get from living off-campus is the $1,500-3,000 you save on a meal plan which are somewhat overpriced. I believe that you could end up saving quite a bit of money by just buying your own food at the on-campus restaurants and dinning halls.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
NC State's dorms are about average; though this depends on students' standards. Owen and Tucker residence halls are located on Central Campus and are reserved for new incoming students. Bagwell and Berry, located on East Campus, are reserved for the Honors Village program. Sullivan, located on West Campus, is for the Scholars Village program.
The housing Web site (www.ncsu.edu/housing) is helpful and easy to navigate. Some will prefer suite-style rooms to hallway-style rooms where everyone on the hall shares a large bathroom. There are many dorms without air conditioning, as well, and this is something to seriously consider when picking your top choices. Some dorms are more convenient to have if located on Central Campus, but what is an extra five minutes of walking if you prefer to have a cool room to walk into in order to escape the Triangle Area heat? Each dorm is in good shape, for the most part; it is just important to look up the location in relation to your classes, the air conditioning and smoking status, and the alcohol policy to best fit your preferences. Also, some dorms have computer labs in the lobby, like Sullivan. Having a computer lab in your hall or a nearby dorm may be convenient if you don't have a computer to bring. Wood Hall may be one dorm to avoid, however, since it is one of the farthest dorms from most buildings, and it has something of a roach problem.

After listening to comments made by the public and by county councilors regarding the pending reconfiguration of Trinity Drive at the Jan. 26 meeting, I was struck by three things.
The first was sadly how little I cared anymore about the fate of Trinity Drive. I simply don't use it because I use alternative routes for Trinity, and my opinion would gain only a polite nod before being dismissed.
Lunatics will always be with us. Lunatics with guns will always be with us. So will evil.
My reaction to the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (and 18 others) in Tucson Jan. 8 starts with lunatics.
I'm leaving aside the claims that Sarah Palin had something to do with creating the environment for the shooting. That's idiotic. Also idiotic is the notion that we've somehow left a "nice America" that existed somewhere in the past.
My children and I are very grateful to family, friends and the wonderfully supportive Los Alamos community for all of the kindness and support you have provided to us following the sudden passing of Meg Kennison, wife and mother.
In order for New Mexico's rural cities and small towns to contribute fully to the nation's economic recovery, we must enable small, mainstreet businesses to build a better future for themselves, their community, state and nation.
Santa Claus would like to thank all the families who stopped by on Christmas Eve to see the light display and receive candy canes at the top of Barranca Mesa Hill.
I had more kids this year than ever before, which makes it all worth while.
I would like to thank Raymond and his partner with the Los Alamos Department of Public Utilities for their help in erecting our Christmas hot air balloon. I would like to thank the gentleman who came by my house and gave me a monetary donation for the utility bill and thanked us for the display of lights.
The Los Alamos Chamber has been engaged on behalf of member and business interests throughout the most recent Trinity Drive study as well as through several prior related initiatives that have looked at the issues with this important route.
Most recently, we worked with the county to be sure there would be good opportunities for the alternatives to be explained and business community input to be gathered. I participated in many of those sessions and I want to offer a summary of observations from those sessions.
At the request of a previous writer and the county engineering department, I would like to express my view of the current options being presented for improving Trinity Drive. I completely agree that Trinity is an eyesore and dangerous to pedestrians and bicyclists and some intersections are quite dangerous for vehicles as well. It is a good idea to fix it.
During the recent county council candidates' campaign, a constant theme was to "listen to the people." A current hot button issue is redoing Trinity Drive. I'm glad that I live in White Rock where most citizens at a large meeting expressed their disapproval of a roundabout on N.M. 4 — although a candidate later told people the idea was shelved not because of citizen input but by the lab's worry about its trucks using the road.

|Re: Coaxing an error message out of qpid-cpp - unable to connect
|Fri, 11 Oct 2013 10:01:07 GMT
I don't believe the client has a global flag to do that, no. The current 'Address' string syntax for the client requires the application specify the behaviour it wants. When using the older 'BindingURL' format ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/qpid/BindingURLFormat) for destination strings the client will automatically create queues when creating a consumer, but not when creating producers. As you have noticed, Destination strings are provider-specific in nature. The way you would insulate your code from changes to make it more portable would be to use JNDI to provider the provider-specific configuration for them and then look them up in a provider-neutral manner. http://qpid.apache.org/releases/qpid-0.24/programming/book/QpidJNDI.html Robbie On 11 October 2013 10:16, Graham Leggett <email@example.com> wrote: > On 11 Oct 2013, at 9:38 AM, Robbie Gemmell <email@example.com> > wrote: > > > You can control creation of queues through options in your destination > > strings, e.g instructing your producers/consumers/both to ensure the > queue > > is created when they start up. > > > > The documentation for the address strings is at: > > > http://qpid.apache.org/releases/qpid-0.24/programming/book/section-addresses.html > > > > A simple example showing an address (the bit in quotes) indicating for > both > > consumers and producers to create the queue is: > > > http://qpid.apache.org/releases/qpid-0.24/programming/book/section-addresses.html#idm241445126208 > > Is there a way to set this globally, or do we have to make qpid-specific > changes to our code to do this? > > What I am trying to achieve is that the service that requires the queues > is self sufficient, if the queues don't exist they're just created and the > application just gets on with it, while at the same time being portable. > Unfortunately the JMS spec has dictated to everybody that queue creation > must be done manually by an administrator[1], which adds an unnecessary > point of failure for us that I am very keen to avoid. > > [1] > http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/1.4/api/javax/jms/Session.html#createQueue%28java.lang.String%29 > > Regards, > Graham > -- > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com > For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com > >

Uh-Oh: Banning "Bare Fleshy" Parts At This Year's Grammys (Plus Other No-Nos)
The Grammys aren't necessarily the go-to awards ceremony for red carpet fashion; in fact, it's the one red carpet where the crazier the look, the better. Remember when Lady Gaga didn't even walk the carpet, and instead "incubated" in a life-size egg carried by her dancers with prosthetic horns? There was also that time Lil' Kim showed up in spray-painted jeans and nothin' but bedazzled flower pasties for a top. It's the kind of awards show where each artist's "character" comes out to play. This year, however, there will be no cleavage-baring Versace dresses (sorry J. Lo), nor shall there be cleavage, under-boob, side-boob, Angie-leg, or butt-baring outfits, for that matter. The CBS Standards and Practices committee sent out an e-mail asking this Sunday's ceremony attendees refrain from wearing anything that will expose "bare fleshy" areas on the body. In addition to that tiny rule, the network is asking that there be no product placement, obscene words, or organization affiliation advertisement like lapel pins, either. (Lapel pins! You will be the end of us!) Hopefully Rihanna, the princess of giving no $%&!s, takes note because her penchant for sheer tops could get her into some trouble.
Turtlenecks and sweaters are a lil' bit warm for Los Angeles this time of year, which begs the question what will the stars wear now? (Racked)

And then Elise meets her—Adrienne—Donald's stunning,/i>
Elise meets Donald on a flight to Washington, D.C., where he teaches and she edits self-help books. He is dreamy: 6'6" with unflinching green eyes and a proclivity for speaking frankly. Incredibly, they fall in love, get engaged, and start discussing wedding invitations.
And then Elise meets her—Adrienne—Donald's stunning, leggy ex-fiancée. Adrienne is newly single and planning a move to D.C. Cleavage-baring, half-French, and with a degree from Yale, she seduces men with one flick of her hair. Worst of all, she and Donald have remained "good friends" since they broke up. Convinced that Adrienne is out to win Donald back, Elise begins stalking both of them obsessively . . . and starts adding up clues to what looks like a brazen affair.

Read an Excerpt
We were, as it happened, Donald and I, deciding that evening on how we would have our wedding invitations printed--Engraving? Thermography? Lithography?--when Adrienne, Donald's ex-fiancée, called to share her good news: she was leaving New York to accept a job in Washington, where we lived, just after the first of the year.
It was late November.
We were planning an April wedding.
And until that instant when the phone rang and Donald ran to the Caller ID box by the desk and froze, I had been planning–perhaps naively, perhaps idiotically–on taking the high road when it came to Adrienne and her relentless pursuit of friendship with Donald. I had vowed, without any true understanding of just how deep-rooted and, well, virulent, my particular strain of jealousy was, I see now, to put an end to my obsession. My suspicion. My frenzied insecurity. I had vowed, as they say, at long last, to get a grip.
On my demons.
On my nemesis.
On her.
Clearly this was wishful thinking on my part; a momentary lapse of delusional optimism (quite common, I'd read, with most brides-to-be), for nothing of the sort–maturity, acceptance, suffering in silence–was in the cards.
Especially now that she–Adrienne–would be living, as it were, in our backyard.
We had been staring intently at three pieces of Crane's Ecruwhite Kid Finish stationery stock that I'd managed to sneak out of Neiman Marcus's sample book as "souvenirs"–the salesman, stout, balding, moist, had excused himself to take a phone call from an important customer: "And will this be a surprise celebration for the Chief Justice?" (This was, after all, Washington.) The three sample invitations were identical except for the method of printing (which is why I had lifted them: to better understand the hefty price differential) and the surely fictional inviters and betrotheds (Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stewart Evans request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Katherine Leigh to Mr. Brian Charles Jamison. . . . Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Fields, III, request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Tiffany Jane to Mr. Phinneas Welch. . . . Our joy will be more complete if you will share in the marriage of our daughter Blah blah blah to Mr. Blah blah blah.). Running our fingers slowly and carefully over the print on each card; holding them up to the light; sniffing them, even (my suggestion), yielded nothing. We were failures in the study and appreciation of fine printing techniques.
"Okay, I give up," Donald said, throwing the invitation he was holding down onto the table and leaning back in his chair until its joints creaked ominously. "Which is which?"
"Beats me." Neiman's had, I explained, not been kind enough to reward my little theft by providing me the answers on the back of each like a set of helpful flash cards.
Donald brought his chair abruptly forward, sat upright, and yawned passionately. He stretched his arms across the table, pushing the sample invitations aside as he did, and reached for my hands.
"Honey?" he said languidly.
"What?" I said flatly.
"May I speak frankly?"
"Must you?"
Had he ever spoken any other way? Couldn't we, just once, I wondered, get through some task (eating dinner, washing dishes, having sex) without his need to speak frankly?
"Fine. Speak," I said, waving my hand, giving up. Relieved now to have license to speak his mind (a technicality: he spoke his mind quite freely without my permission, as you'll see), he smiled broadly, then brought his shoulders up in a fake cringe, as if to indicate that he felt just terrible about what he was going to say–even though, I knew, he didn't.
"I'm bored," he said, finally, his confession a guilty pleasure (he was a true Catholic, through and through). "I have to be honest, I'm having a hard time caring"–broad smile, shoulders up, fake cringe–"about how the invitations get printed. I mean, why are we doing this?"
I couldn't have been more bored myself, but I wouldn't have admitted it for the world. Instead, I let my mouth sag slightly into a sad pout.
"Doing what?" I asked. "Getting married or discussing the invitations?"
The phone rang.
"Discussing the invitations, of course," he said. He reached to give my hands a reassuring little squeeze but I withheld them for effect. "I want to get married."
The phone rang again.
"Because." I was about to explain how costly engraving was compared to the other options and how since we couldn't tell the difference anyway, we could, with a completely clear conscience, opt for the cheapest method of the three–lithography–but I was too distracted by the third ring of the telephone. On the beginning of the fourth ring he rose from the dining room table where we'd been sitting, took three steps over to the desk, leaned across it, turned back to look at me, and cringed–this time for real.
"It's Adrienne."

A fun look at just how completely neurotic someone can become when they let irrational fears take over their life. Elise was a complete lunatic when some good old fashioned conversation and honesty would have solved the problem. But then again it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun to read. Her is a great look at what not to do in a relationship and more fun to read than a self-help book.
What turns an ordinarily self-confident attractive woman into a suspicious, lying, sneaking stalker? For twenty-something freelance book editor Elise, it's hearing that her fiance's ex-fiance is moving to town and wants to be neighbors in "Her." To be fair, Elise's fiance Donald mention Adrienne, his ex-, the first time they met. He told her all about Adrienne. He was venting on a plane ride where they happened to be seatmates. Elise thought Donald was cute and overly tall at 6' 6", however didn't really think much more about him until they both actually showed up a week late at a coffeeshop date they had suggested during the plane ride. Hitting it off immediately, things went quickly from there. Both having recently moved from New York City to Washington, D.C., they had a lot in common. Donald is a teacher at a private school, Elise works from home editing books her best friend sends her on a freelance basis. Fortunately, when Adrienne announces she's moving to D.C., for work and wants Donald to show her around the city, Elise's work-at-home schedule allows her plenty of time to go through Donald's old pictures, his computer, his pockets, his phone, anything she can think of to get more information on Adrienne and what she really wants from Donald. Instead of planning for their wedding, Elise finds herself frequently sidetracked by stalking. Adrienne is beautiful, busty, smart, rich and well-connected. Elise can't figure out why Donald and she aren't still together, until Donald admits that it's Adrienne that broke up with him. Then, on several of Elise's stalking expeditions, she finds Donald's car in Adrienne's driveway during school hours, or sees them walking down the street together. When she asks Donald how his day was, he fails to mention his time spent with Adrienne. This kicks Elise's stalking into high gear. Certainly most women would be insecure to have their boyfriend/fiance's ex- in the picture, especially if she's as seemingly perfect as Adrienne. The hijinks that Elise gets into over this situation, however, are not always funny, mostly pathetic. She can't seem to pull herself together no matter how reassuring Donald is, to the point where she almost loses him. This is a decent chick lit story, that is relatable to a point, but after that it's just lunacy.
The unrealistic, stalker-esque characterization of Elise left a great deal to be desired. The plot developed slowly and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Momentary visions of high school drama were evoked as I thumbed through the pages of this novel...only those recollections were real-life, believable.
This was a story that could have been told in less than half the space used. Laura Zigman fills the story with lots of meaningless mental chatter. It wouldn¿t have been so bad had I cared about these characters, but I didn¿t. They are two dimensional and as I saw the central character, Elise, make up far-fetched and incriminating explanations for things she doesn't understand, I simple didn¿t care about her mental anguish. Had I not spent $12 on this book, I would have stopped reading after the first few chapters. My only consolation is that, having read the book, I can record my disappointment in this public forum and possibly spare others from the same waste of time and money.
The main character is mean-spirited and irrational, but not in an entertaining way. I forced myself to carry on until page 127 in hope that the book might redeem itself(it didn't). Gratefully, it's a library book and not a waste of my money, but sadly my time.
I thought this book was a waste of time. The only reason I made myself finish it was because it was selected by my book club. I wanted to smack Elise for not trusting Donald (shallow as he is) or believing she deserved his love. It was a very predictable book and went on way too long.
I loved Laura Zigman's previous works, and I was hooked with this one, too. Although, Elsie's character scared me a bit! Even though I think we all have moments in our relationships where we are insecure, she takes it to an extreme. I definitely would classify her as a 'stalker girlfriend'. She is lucky that Donald was as forgiving as he was...
I found myself a little annoyed with how insecure Elise could be. Granted she is very worried about losing her fiance (Donald) to his very beautiful ex-fiance, but her actions get a little 'out of control'. This book basically puts you inside the mind of a compulsive and jealous stalker girlfriend!
When a woman at long last finds Mr. Right who among us will not admit to a tad of possessiveness and from time to time a touch of the green eyed monster upon hearing of one of his former girlfriends? Precious few (and they're probably not telling the truth). Fanatic obsession is quite another thing. That's not funny - but it is in Laura Zigman's latest. Elise has found Donald and vice versa. Thank goodness, as 38-year-old Donald and 34-year-old Elise are survivors, between the two of them there are 'nearly eight decades of failed relationships, dashed hope, aborted dreams.' Now, they are soon to be wed. Enter the obsession. It starts out innocently enough (as many obsessions do) with a surreptitious prowl through Donald's desk, a search for a photo of Adrienne, his former fiancé. Horror of horrors: she looks just like her name sounds: over the top gorgeous. Even worse, the goddess is returning to town and Donald has invited her to dinner. As he says, they have remained good friends. Who would believe this? Certainly not Elise. Nonetheless, she takes many deep breaths and offers to pick Adrienne up at the airport. For support she takes along her best friend who rather than bolstering Elise promptly falls under Adrienne's spell. Can Donald still find happiness with a manic, unhinged bride to be? Can Elise believe that Donald truly wants her when she fails so miserably in comparison to Adrienne? Read the comic but truthful 'Her' and find out.

Academic Experience:
Almost being in my program I have had a great experience being at baker and all of my classes. I am not overloaded with classes and can do how ever many of them that I would like to take.
Academic Experience:
I am in the Radiology program. All the instructors work in the field, so all the lesson revolve around the real world of x-ray. One of our instructors is also our clinical instructor and works really hard to place each student in the best location that fits their personality. The workload is heavy, but each quarter builds upon the past one. Now, I am in my second quarter and stuff is actually making sense. The curriculum is solely based on the aspects of x-ray and what we will encounter when we start our clinical rotation. The clinical coordinator works directly with head of the radiology department at the site, so we are constantly being monitored and our coordinator is always keep up to date on or progress. We will also participate in mock registry exams to prepare us for our board exam. I've spoken to x-ray students from other schools and they were not prepared for their boards or their clinical rotation. I feel very fortunate.
Academic Experience:
The health majors are the most difficult to get into. Baker has a separate grading scale just for these related classes. Although you have to work harder to achieve these grades it is still possible to do.
Academic Experience:
The workload is just perfect enough to give insight to the program and what it is all about.
Academic Experience:
The teachers are normally from the job business. One of my teachers is an undersheriff for the city and it is really cool being able to learn from those who have actually worked in the area and can talk about the experience.

I'm with you about Warioland. Phenomenal and used the motion right too. Exemplary.
Easily my favorite Wii game with Metroid Prime 3 not too far behind. WLSIT! imo is groundbreaking to the 2D platformer Genre because of those amazing tilt/motion controls. On a Lag free Tube CRT SDTV they blew me away just as Prime 3's(Obviously more so, a revolution to the first person genre) did. The two control methods that made my eyes jolt out of my noggin'(lol) had to of been that Wario Saucer/rocket flying device where you tilt the remote ever so slightly to manouver the jets and Wario's trippy Boxing glove wielding vehicle.
Phenomenal stuff and again ground breaking to the genre...WLSI benifted enormously with motion controls and shows how much more intuitive and fun the genre can be with them.
Forget the nostalgia and old school Wario Land games, this Wii sequal completely dominates the previous entries in the franchise no question!
Also, anybody down for a 'Super Mario Clay bros'? I would take such an idea in a he-man heart beat over modern CG NSMB Mario any day of the flippin flinstone week. lol
