THORN: Thanks to Travis, 'Cheeta' won't prosper
Published February 26, 2009 at 7 p.m.
What turns a chimp book into a chump?
An ill-timed news story about a rampaging pet, just before that aforementioned book hits the shelves.
When chimp Travis took after that poor woman in Stamford, Conn., inciting a storm of news items discussing the danger of chimps in captivity, it would seem that he also mangled the chances for Me, Cheeta: My Life in Hollywood to attract much of an audience.
The book, which is not about Travis but another Hollywood- actor chimp, is being billed by its publisher Ecco as a "fictional memoir." Due out next month, it tells the story of real-life Cheeta, otherwise known as Jiggs, who starred in the MGM Tarzan films of the '30s and '40s, as well as movies such as Bedtime for Bonzo (with Ronald Reagan), and Doctor Dolittle (with Rex Harrison).
Now 76, according to press material, Cheeta is "retired and living in Palm Springs" where he paints and apparently dabbles in music. The publisher notes that his art is available online, and that he's planning to record a song soon to be available on iTunes. Cheeta's popularity, the press release adds, "is experiencing quite a revival."
Uh, perhaps that should be a was? Given all the talk about the danger of chimps, how long can that popularity last? I'm guessing about as long as it takes to slip on a banana peel.
The book features a large photo of Cheeta baring his yellowing teeth on the cover. He's probably smiling, but that isn't likely to stop potential readers from grimacing at the sight - and running for another cover.
Are you ready for Columbine books?
Recently, I reported that two new books about the Columbine shootings are due in April, the 10th anniversary of the event: Columbine, by Dave Cullen, and Columbine: A True Crime Story, by Rocky reporter Jeff Kass.
I wondered if Colorado readers were ready to revisit such an emotional story in nonfiction and asked for your e-mails on the subject. Today, I thought I'd offer a few reactions (edited for space), which seemed evenly split down the middle:
* "Not ready for these books . . . I worked with a man who lost his grandson in that gunfire; he had a heart attack shortly after. I don't think reopening these wounds is a good idea!" - Pat
* "My book club friends can't wait 'til the new Wally Lamb book The Hour I First Believed (a novel that includes a school shooting) comes out in paperback . . . I don't think I can even read that, let alone a nonfiction account. It is still seared into my brain. I now have my youngest in high school . . . and I just can't imagine the horror of wondering if your child made it out safely or not."- Pamela Eades
* "NO, no, no. I spent that day in a temporary building at Alameda High School . . . The security guard had come in and told me that there had been a "shooting incident" at Columbine. Helicopters were flying overhead and we heard nothing more . . . I will never forget the fear, the tears and the kids who were asking if they were safe . . .
"I hate to revisit that day of terror . . . Every time I hear about 'Columbine,' I shudder. It is still too fresh.
"It is still too fresh." - K . Thomasson
* "I just completed the book Nineteen Minutes (a novel about a school shooting) by Jodi Picoult . . . - difficult book but I couldn't put it down. This book obviously reminded me of the Columbine tragedy. I still get chills thinking about that day - one of my co-workers' son was one of the victims, and many of my co-workers and employees had children that attended Columbine . . .
"We ask ourselves why, why, why? And maybe the book will answer some of those questions."- Alma Rogers
* "I'd say probably yes, people are ready to read more about Columbine with the perspective of time. I will look at these books, mainly because one of them purportedly dismisses the idea that bullying contributed to the tragedy. There is a lot of evidence to the contrary." - Louise Benson

My friend and I found Bill's tour on Trip Advisor. Luckily there was a tour the next day. So much wonderful information which made the rest of our stay more meaningful. Bill also emailed after the tour with fantastic links of musical interest.
My friend and I found Bill's tour on Trip Advisor. Luckily there was a tour the next day. So much wonderful information which made the rest of our stay more meaningful. Bill also emailed after the tour with fantastic links of musical interest.
This is an opportunity that is not to be missed if you have a couple of hours to spare and you love country music. Shucks, even if you don't like country music Bill DeMain will convert you on this walking tour thru the musical history of Nashville. Bill is interesting, knowledgeable and quite the character. I'd advise a good pair... More
We got into Nashville late evening and had booked the tour for the next morning. So glad we did! The tour started just a few blocks from our hotel (Homewood Suites on Church St.) Neither of us had been to Nashville before so the walk downtown, stopping at the prime locations was perfect. Bill DeMain is so knowledgable and a... More
We took the tour yesterday- really not too sure what to expect. I had booked it online the day before. With the confirmation, Bill also suggested some parking sites. We did have a bit of trouble finding parking. (many garages were full at 10 am). The group was about 15-20 people. There was not so much walking and it was... More
I always feel that the best way to get to know a city is through a good tour guide! Bill DeMain is entertaining and informative. He has either experienced his stories first hand or researched the history thoroughly. He has access to areas that you may not otherwise see which is a plus. He stops frequently so that you do... More
I looked up this musical walking tour before I left for my trip to Nashville and the reviews were so enthusiastic, I booked it as soon as I arrived. I was not disappointed. The walk itself doesn't cover a particularly large geographical area- only a few blocks really- but the quantity and quality of the anecdotes Bill tells as he... More
In town for a graduation and every one of the 10 people in our group was thrilled with this tour. It was the perfect amount of walking, stories, comedy and prizes. You get a good glimpse of the Broadway area and more. The e-mail that comes after has a wonderful collection of music videos that are mentioned in the tour.... More
We just moved to Nashville so we thought this would be a good introduction and it was. We had some friends visiting so the 4 of us did the tour. Bill has an encyclopedic knowledge of both the music industry as well as Nashville history. And he's not a native! He talked for almost 2 solid hours, had lots of... More
The great thing about this tour is Bill gives you a lot of history. You could just walk around downtown and you would miss a lot. Bill shares how music evolved in this town and who the key players were. You do not walk as much as I expected, more standing and listening to Bill. I highly recommend this tour... More
My husband and I took this tour on Friday, April 26, 2013. There were about 12 other people on the tour, which was due to the large number of people in town for the Music City marathon and half marathon. Bill was incredible, and everyone greatly enjoyed it. The tour lasted about 2.25 hours and we got to hear great... More

When denim manufacturer Jeff Rudes collaborated with celebrity stylist Susie Crippen, the focus was not only on making jeans, but making the wearer feel simply amazing in them. No back pocket design. No tear holes. No embellishments. J Brand has a modest approach to making jeans, providing a rare combination of class, sophistication, sexiness, and style that we crave. And we'd expect nothing less from a man who's been making jeans since the '70s.

I have these same pants, the 811 in several of the twill colors. I absolutely love those, so I thought I would like these too. WELL they fit perfectly in every way, EXCEPT that the length is WAY SHORTER than my other pairs. I know they are supposed to be "ankle" length but these are more like capris. I don't know if this is an anomaly, or if the jeans are just shorter than the twill. But I am definitely returning these and finding another pair of jeans. I love JBrand so I will probably just buy one of the full length pairs.
So if you are looking for great cropped jeans, these are it. But if you are looking for a regular skinny I wouldn't recommend.

J Brand is my favorite brand of jeans and these did not disappoint. I always buy a size up in J Brand then I do from Citizens and Sevens. I bought a 27 in these and usually wear a 26 in other brands and they fit perfectly. I am 5'5" and 120 lbs. I have short legs and they length was almost perfect, so if you are taller they may be too short. I definitely recommend these jeans!

These fit perfectly and they look great. Leg opening at the bottom doesn't appear to be as big as the picture, but the jeans still look and fit amazingly.

I returned these as they were much smaller than my other JBrands. I also found they had a really bizarre look in the calf area... made my legs look really strange!

Fabric changed
I have been wearing this jeans in this color for years, probably as 3-4 years. Each pair lasted me about a year as far as washing is concerned. Then I would get a replacement pair for going out, and retire the old pair for everyday. So, practically I have been living in these jeans. Now... I am devastated. I recently ordered a pair. Upon opening the box, the jeans smelled aweful. (like ammonia or something-) The fabric felt lighter&thinner; flimsy to the touch. I put it on, the fit is ok, but not as snug as my other pairs have been. I pulled out my old pairs to compare the fabric label. It used to be 98% cotton, and 2% spandex. This new pair has 92% cotton, 7% POLYESTER, 1% spandex. I know that this pair would STRETCH and not last as long. Not to mention, it used to be $158 a pair. I am really disappointed that J Brand changed the integrity of the fabric. This kind of combo of fabric can be found in many other ordinary jeans. Now I have to search for the perfect pair again.
Sizing: True to Size / As Expected

I take a 28 or 29 in J Brand (4 or 6). I ordered the 28 and they look good but feel tight (like compression pants) so I am exchanging them for a 29. I have muscular legs, especially in the calf, and these pants fit and are flattering.
Uniform dark rinse, lightweight fabric with some stretch, and styling make these pants flattering. I like them!
Sizing: Smaller than Expected

The study of structures and magnetism of FeIr(001) superlattices leads us to observe three different cases. First, for Fe thicknesses up to 4 planes, Fe is of bct structure with an fcc Ni-like magnetic anisotropy. Second, for thick Fe layer, Fe is bcc and an antiferromagnetic coupling is observed. Third, for thin Ir layers, Ir is strained and plays an inportant role in magnetic behaviour. |

My birthday is in May, so that is probably one of the reasons I have always loved this time of year.
This birthday was extra special because I got to meet some "blogging friends" in person!
We had such a lovely tea party together. Very sweet ladies! And kids, of course. ;-) They had a great time playing together.
It was a blessing getting to fellowship with these new friends. :-)

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell by 6,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 361,000, a level consistent with modest gains in hiring.
The Labor Department says the less volatile four-week average rose by 2,250 to 368,250 in the week that ended Aug. 4.
Weekly applications bounced around in July, skewed by the difficulty of accounting for temporary summertime layoffs in the auto industry. The seasonal distortions had faded by last week.
When applications consistently fall below 375,000, it typically suggests hiring is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.
Hiring picked up in July after three sluggish months of job growth. The economy generated 163,000 jobs last month, the most since February. Still, the unemployment rate rose to 8.3 percent from 8.2 percent in June.

Why and how did you start modeling, who influences you? I won a contest in Texas at a local mall for a runway show, that was my very first job. I didn't have an influence, I just entered randomly and won.
Tell our readers what empowers you. Being independently successful.
Explain your biggest break in the industry so far and your career goals for 2012. My biggest break would probably have to be the SPIKE TV show MANswers along with the several covers I have been on. Everyone always tells me they see me on that show, they play so many reruns and I was on it for three seasons. [I was booked] a lot on that show, it was so much fun! My career goals for 2012 are first of all to go back to school full time. I will be going online so i can still work on my entertainment career. Other goals are to focus on the back end products I have started as in my t-shirts and lip gloss [collections]. I have a little writing I want to start back on as well. Plus moving forward on print shoots, website [appearances] and just updating everything I've been working on for a few years now.. Lots and lots of goals!
What body part of yours attracts the most attention? My face probably... I have a nice butt and boobs too, but even when I'm covered up i still get looks... I think it's my cheekbones, I've been told i have strong features a lot.
Now, what would you like people to be attracted to? My brain.. When someone gets to know me they usually get attracted to how much smarter i am then i look.
Favorite Restaurant: Katana
Sleep or Sex? Trick question... Sex then sleep, I need both.
Can you cook? If so, what's your specialty? Yes, i love to cook! Shrimp with rice or fried fish with potatoes.

Do you own any adult videos? Nope.. ewww, I'd rather watch a mirror then anyone else.
How old were you when you had your first kiss and paint us the picture? I think i was in 5th grade, we kissed on the stairs. I was shy and ran after...
When did you know you could be a model? When I won the runway contest in Texas, I thought i was the shiiiiiiii... hehehe!
Can we buy you a drink and if so, what kind? but of course.... I'll take a new drink called MF Liqueur please.
Ever had a one-night stand? Yes, waaaaay back in my younger years... eeeeek!!!
Favorite Position and why? That's for him to know... Cant give away all my lil secrets..
Have you ever told a lie? Of course, haven't we all...
Did you just lie about having or not having a one-night stand? Nope
If I ruled the world, I would… I'd be more involved in politics and only choose the greatest leaders in the US to be my right hand men and women. I would make the place we live in better economically, less poverty, better benefits as far as health,education and military. "It wouldn't be no such thing as jealousies or B Felonies, strictly livin' longevity to the destiny." Nas, you know I had to quote that!
Doing this will get you cut… Cheating, (wait till he reads this) haha!
Lights on or lights off in bed? Both, switch up!
The biggest misconception about me is. I'm stuck up...
Tell us something your parents don't know about you. That I live with my boyfriend... I think I've kinda told them indirectly... EEeeek!!
Preferred type of underwear? thong... No "Granny" panties here
What is the most creative thing a guy has said or done to approach you? Paid for my meal when i was out with my girlfriend and said nothing to me at all. I had no idea who paid for it, he just paid it then left the restaurant and told the waitress i guess... Then i saw him again a few months later and he finally came up and spoke, I thought the mystery man made it kinda sexy!
If you don't have a lot of money, you better have… A lot of personality and a great sense of humor.. That's what gets me..
What's your fetish? I don't think i have one, how non-sexy is that!
A nickname I have had: D
The worst movie I have ever seen: Probably anything on NetFlix...
I wish people would stop Tweeting about: How good they look

A type of ladies' underwear I don't enjoy wearing: Granny panties, it's too big.. ewww!
I will never understand why men: Lie... for no reason
The best thing I learned from an ex-boyfriend was: Always educate yourself.. Knowledge is power and dont ever stop learning...
A grown man should not: Pick the club or friends over his lady...I'm a nerd about: computers.. I type super fast.. lol..
My philosophy of sex: Keep it interesting
People tell me I look like: I used to get Kim [Kardashian] till i dyed my hair.. Now i get Sophia Vergara... Wooohooooo!!!

When I was 8 years old I thought I would be: A lawyer and a veterinarian, I still love animals and I can get into a good debate every so often.
My super power: To see through bull sh*t.
The most exciting thing I did today was: this interview, the day is just getting started.
Tell us about an upcoming project or photoshoot… I have a few things I'm working on, I started a little T-Shirt line and now working on producing a lip gloss line. I have the shirts in a few stores and I'm hoping to do the same with my lip gloss. I'm really working this year on re doing my website, photos etc. Also i don't wanna say too much, but I may have a little part in an upcoming film with some major names in it. With this line of work anything can happen so i try not to say too much till it actually does.
Lastly, any shout-outs or thank you's? I would love to give a shout out to Blueprint Magazine and say thank you for this interview and for this feature. Love your magazine, looks great and thank you, thank you!

Upcoming Conferences:
- February 15-17, 2013 FASLTA Annual Conference; Fort Lauderdale
Certification for ASL Teachers in Florida...
Florida Department of Education and the Task
Force established by the state Legislature have established criteria for all
K-12 teachers of ASL in Florida. Teachers will need either ASLTA National
Certification, or completion of a set
of 6 specified college courses by July
1, 2009, in order to continue teaching ASL in K-12 schools. There is no "grandfather" provision
for existing ASL teachers.
Helpful note: ASLTA certification is done in 3 steps
- Provisional, Qualified, Professional. The Professional level requires an in-person
interview with ASLTA evaluators. ASLTA evaluations are generally done every two years during the ASLTA Professional Development Conference, and may be available more often via a local ASLTA Chapter.
UPDATE regarding use of the HOUSSE PLAN for ASL (2012)
HOUSSE is no longer an option for new ASL teachers to certify "highly qualified" status. It was accepted in 2009-2011. If you already HAVE the HOUSSE plan, you're "grandfathered in", but new teachers only have 2 options: ASLTA Professional certification, or FL DOE Endorsement (see info above).

Police charged Vento Mickens with simple assault after he got into an altercation with a rider earlier this month.
Metro spokesman Steve Taubenkibel says the two were fighting about a fare.
It was the latest in a string of Metro employees getting in trouble with the law.
The week before, police charged a track worker with public drunkenness just hours before his shift was supposed to start.
Prior to that, Metro rehired a bus driver who had been arrested for punching a man dressed as McGruff the Crime Dog.
Metro had tried to fire the bus driver, but his union appealed and won in arbitration.
Metro has opted not to fire Mickens, however.
Taubenkibel says he'll be getting a five-day suspension without pay.

AEIOU News
Gold Coast Business and social identities prepare to Take a Hike
Fri, 1 Jun 12
June 2012
Gold Coast Business and social identities prepare to Take a Hike
Some of Queensland's best known business, media and social identities will be put to a 40 kilometre test of physical and mental endurance when they join the inaugural Take a Hike Gold Coast, to raise funds for children with autism on Sunday 17 June 2012.
Before sunrise, participants including Ingeus Managing Director Thérèse Rein, Channel Seven Presenter Liz Cantor and Minter Ellison CEO Scott Lyall will begin the nine hour trek with a goal of raising a total of $75,000 to support AEIOU Foundation's program in Carrara.
AEIOU Foundation Alan Smith said the group is comprised of 25 hikers, each tasked with raising $3,000.
"Take a Hike began in Brisbane in 2010, and since then we have taken it to Toowoomba and Townsville on an annual basis with extraordinary results. Since its inception, the initiative has raised $400,000 for our program across the State," Mr Smith said. "That has helped us support around 40 children in our centres."
"This is the first time we've brought Take a Hike to the Gold Coast, and we have been delighted with the community's support. All funds raised will stay in the Gold Coast region, with a goal of supporting seven child placements in our Carrara program."
Ingeus Managing Director Thérèse Rein is joining the hike ahead of plans to complete the Kokoda Trail challenge later this year.
"I'm pleased to join AEIOU Foundation at the inaugural Take a Hike Gold Coast. The hike presents a great opportunity to support the community, and in this case, support AEIOU Foundation to make a difference to the lives of children with autism, and their families," Ms Rein said.
Mr Smith said AEIOU Foundation launched its service in Carrara in November 2010, supporting 12 children to develop vital life and communication skills. "In the new financial year, we will extend the program to enrol an additional six children."
"Our hikers are helping real people – local children and their families. The hikers will work as a group to accomplish their 40 kilometre goal, but each needs the support of the community to help them fundraise. Please give generously," Mr Smith said.
Executive Excellence manages the training program over an eight week period, encouraging hikers to participate in a self-guided program with two supervised sessions per week to ensure they are well prepared.
To help the Take a Hike participants reach their fundraising goal donations to individual hikers can be made by visiting aeiou.org.au and following the links to Take a Hike Gold Coast.
AEIOU Foundation is a reputable Queensland-based organisation and one of Australia's largest providers of early intervention for children diagnosed with autism aged two and a half to five years. Around 90% of children who complete the program are able to communicate functionally, with more than 70% of children transitioning to school. All children are supported to reach their maximum potential.
Take a Hike details:
When: Sunday 17 June 2012
4am – 2pm (approx)
Where: Starting point is Chris Cunningham Park corner Bay St and Wharf St Tweed Heads following a 40km route along the coastline to finish at Doug Jennings Park on Gold Coast Seaway.

Maybe I'm bad luck and every time I post there are a bunch of guys who get injured. Or maybe this season is just too whacky. Whatever the case may be, there was alot of players who didn't play last night due to injuries or some other reason.
Please, blog, may I have some more?J.J. Barea
It's the playoffs, people. That time of the year where all your hard work could either pay off or come crashing down all over your face with the weight of a thousand Shaquille O'Neals. That time of year where your forsake family, friends and all other personal relationships, slaving over your lineup each and every day just for the satisfaction of winning the moderate $80 league you have going with your buddies from college.
Please, blog, may I have some more?When they rewrite the story of the Lockout-shortened 2011-12 NBA season, the first thing they better mention is the shocking number of disposable players that came from out of the shadows and into the light. Rubio, Lin, Green, Jenkins, Robinson, Mullens, and on and on and on, until you get to J.J.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Mickael Pietrus went 16/7/2, as he got the starting nod at PF with O'Neal and Wilcox both out. It was one of those douchey bro-nods, too. Like the kind two frat guys might give one another in passing. I don't really want to talk, but I DO want to acknowlede your existence, so I'm just going to tilt my head up quickly and then back down.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Leading up to last night's game, it was fairly unclear who would make up for Danilo Gallinari's minutes, or if not minutes, his production. If Corey Brewer can go 16/5/3 in 7 mpg, God bless him. But he can't, so the Nuggets are a game of Clue, right now.
Please, blog, may I have some more?As I peeled myself off the linoleum floor, sucked down the last few drops of last night's Bitburger beer and licked the crusted schnitzel off my fingertips, the memories of last night's NBA Finals celebration reignited in my mind. Dirk is a champion.
Please, blog, may I have some more?One more night. I know I've got a long summer filled with postseason rankings ahead of me. Not to mention keepers, sleepers, rookies, lockout news, more lockout news, Ron Artest-is-bored-and-crazy news, Greg Oden-is-progressing-and-looking-forward-to-a-lockout-shortened season news, Hey-is-that-Luke-Ridnour?-Why-is-he-even-in-this-state-much-less-at-my-laundromat-news, preseason rankings, and the inevitable process of writing about fantasy basketball if there is no real basketball.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Perennial first-rounder Chris Paul slammed his noggin yesterday, hit the ground with a stillness that silences crazed stadiums, was carted off the court amid extended hush and finally gave a thumbs up to signify … that his hand wasn't paralyzed, I guess.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Okay, so you saw GrizzMaster Gay shoot a pair of free throws, clutch his shoulder and leave the game for good on Tuesday. You went to bed worried that your team's second-best player was done for the year. You dreamed about it.
Please, blog, may I have some more?For 23 years, Utah head coach Jerry Sloan won 60 percent of his games (1,221 of 'em in the regular season), made it to the Finals twice, got knocked out in one of the first two rounds 18 other times, confused dozens of players with his occasionally incoherent, but nevertheless longwinded mumblings, and stunted the capital growth of NBA tie salesmen for almost three decades.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

A Sign Of The Times (Square)
"With more than 1.6 million passers-by and countless media impressions daily, this sign represents a tremendous opportunity to catapult Walgreens brand among the most recognizable icons in the world," boasts Walgreens President-COO Greg Wasson. "The signs will also work to build awareness for our strongest supplier partners and the brands that help make Walgreens a destination for millions of customers every day."
Interestingly, the plan is to offer those impressions exclusively to products and brands that are retailed by the Walgreens store, making the sign more than just an out-of-home media buy, but possibly the biggest shopper media experience in the world.
"That's our plan," says Teresa Rix, vice president of ABC New Media Sales, which is representing the new advertising inventory as part of its portfolio of digital out-of-home media outlets controlled by the Disney unit.
Rix says the agreement with Walgreens calls for ABC to sell the signage only to brands carried by Walgreens. Among those that will be featured when the sign gets lit tonight, are L'Oreal, Kraft, Johnson & Johnson, and Colgate. However, Rix notes that the building's landlord, Sherwood Outdoor, retains a couple of minutes of "local inventory" that might be sold to brands not distributed via Walgreens.
The super sign, meanwhile, represents some unique story-telling opportunities for advertisers. Aside from its scale, its proximity and the traffic it is expected to generate, the sign is actually comprised of multiple smaller screens capable of displaying disparate full-motion video messages. "The sign is broken up in many different pieces so we can take each piece and display things differently if we want to," Rix explains, adding that it is conceivable some advertisers might use it to have multiple messages appearing simultaneously, or to have messages move from screen to screen across the super sign.
A similar stunt is expected to actually traverse a few blocks this evening when some of the content on the Walgreen's super sign migrates from One Times Square, between 42nd and 43rd Streets, to the ABC News super sign on 44th Street. Both signs are in visible proximity to each other.
Another sign that will play an unusual cameo role in tonight's stunt will be the Reuters sign in Times Square, which is not represented by the ABC New Media Sales team, and has no relationship to the Walgreens' sign, but happens to be the best location for Walgreens and ABC to host a party for industry VIPs to view the illumination of the new sign, and the 10-minute video montage that will kick it off.

Did you share your names before baby arrived?
We're pretty positive we've settled on a girl name and a boy name. It's funny, because we always thought we'd take a short list into delivery and wait till we meet baby to name him/her. But on our short list there were two names that just stood out, and seemed to keep rising to the top. And now that we know, we're just so excited about the names its hard not to spill the beans (even though we want it to be a surprise).
So, I'm wondering... If you settled on a name ahead of time, did you tell friends and family, or did you wait?-VeggieMama (growing a baby and a garden down under in New Zealand)

I told my best friend, mostly because my daughter's name is a variation of her middle, and my sister was largely involved in the naming process. My mom wasn't told until we were dead set on the name and she wasn't allowed to comment, lol.
With my son, my first, my mom was largely involved and we did tell people, because my ex's family was trying to push names on me and I told them this is his name and that's final.

I don't have kids yet, but I ideally would only tell a few select people. I can imagine I would spill the beans from excitement though, haha.

We shared our top names, but we didn't name my son until after he was born. Luckily we didn't run into much resistance with our names then. I know there will be more problems with some of our names for baby #2, but I'm pretty good at ignoring them ;-)

I'm not comfortable sharing before the baby is born anymore. It seems like if you announce your intended name it becomes everyone's chance to talk you out of it. That's why I adore online forums so much!

We shared but with the second it took us almost to the end of the pregnancy and we had said we weren't sure what the name was going to be so many times that people didn't necessarily believe us until she was born and legally named with the name.
April 27th, 2012 02:14 AM #17
I think it depends on how long you have.
I had a name set for Brooke- for a majority of the pregnancy she was going to be Brianna. Then AFTER she was born we switched to Brooke. So things may yet change.
If you tell people before it may seem that you are asking for their opinion- and people are usually ready to give their opinions.
What if their opinions were negative? would you care?
Food for thought.

I told everyone the initials, and let them guess at what they stood for until the babies arrived. If you make a game out of it, it's a fun way to avoid actually telling anyone.

- Dimon, JPMorgan Chase Have History with Senate's Banking Panel2012-06-12 12:42:44.000
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is likely to face tough questions about his company's multi-billion dollar trading losses when he steps in front of the Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday. Asking the questions will be a group of lawmakers who have campaign finance ties to both Dimon and JPMorgan as a whole.
- Barack Obama Turns to Deep-Pocketed Donors to Help Win the Future2011-03-03 17:37:00.000
In late February, President Barack Obama announced 22 new members for his council on jobs and competitiveness, a group he established in January. The new appointees are also linked by a shared experience: donating to Democrats.
- Will Political Cash Determine Next Senate Majority Leader?2010-10-31 06:00:00.000
Behind the scenes, several current senators have been pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into the campaign coffers of fellow Democratic candidates. Could these big givers be positioning themselves to man the helm of the Senate Democratic caucus if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid falls to Republican challenger Sharron Angle?
- Senators Who Pocket Money From Foreign-Connected PACs Fight Against International Influence in Elections2010-10-28 16:09:18.000
Last week Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) sent a letter, co-signed by 14 other Democratic senators, to the Federal Election Commission, requesting that they repair and strengthen protections against foreign influence of American elections. But how deep does their desire to strengthen protections against foreign influence go?
- Insurgent Candidates See Electoral Success in Hot Senate Races2010-05-19 19:30:17.000
Massive campaign war chests and establishment endorsements were not enough to be victorious in some of the country's most contested Senate primaries Tuesday night. One sitting Senator was defeated and another is heading to a run-off in three weeks, as candidates worked to distance themselves from Washington and position themselves as crusaders against special interests in charged anti-incumbent environments.
- Down But Not Quite Out: An Examination of Insurance Giant AIG's Waning Clout2009-12-03 18:40:48.000
Insurance giant AIG's political clout is waning as fast as its finances. Since its near-collapse and government bailout last fall, AIG disbanded its lobbying team. It hasn't donated a dollar from its political action committee this year. Furthermore, contributions from individual AIG employees since January are merely a sliver of what they've been in previous cycles -- although a few notable politicians retain financial or political ties to the embattled company. Among these lawmakers is Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, who pledged to return contributions from AIG employees who got post-bailout bonuses but has nonetheless retained tens of thousands of dollars from them given before the bailout.
- Democratic Sen. Jack Reed Envisions New Financial Regulations2009-11-17 16:00:00.000
Viewed as a champion of regulatory reform, Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) is an advocate of new regulations regarding financial markets, products and institutions -- including new regulation regarding credit derivatives, "dark pool" markets and hedge funds. Within the Banking Committee, he is chairman of the securities, insurance and investment subcommittee.
- Crossing Wall Street2009-11-16 11:45:00.000
As the United States continues digging itself out of a recession, the nation is poised to re-emerge in a dramatically altered financial climate. And after years of enjoying relatively little regulation, commercial banks, credit companies, hedge funds and securities and investment companies are facing the most extensive overhaul by the federal government since the Great Depression. Over the next seven days, Capital Eye will be following the special interest money in our "Crossing Wall Street" series as both the House and Senate tackle financial regulation.
- Commercial Banks Hope for Return on Investment in Congress2009-11-16 11:44:00.000
Congress often acts as a type of bank for bankers themselves -- a place executives can direct their cash, perhaps hoping to collect interest in the form of a legislative favor. The interest rate on that premium appears to be low these days, however, as commercial banks could face a sweeping regulatory overhaul in the coming months.
- Some Politicos Distance Themselves From Embattled Hassan Nemazee, But Not All. Yet.2009-08-26 14:08:45.000
Embattled political financier Hassan Nemazee, who faces decades in prison after federal authorities arrested him for allegedly attempting to secure a fradulent loan from Citigroup, has donated money to 75 federal political candidates, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis indicates.
- HELP Committee Members Opposing Health Bill Backed By Insurers, Pharma2009-07-15 15:51:28.000
Members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, who opposed a version of health care reform that the panel passed today, have on average received more money from the industries fighting against the measure's public health plan component than those who voted "yes."
- Obama, Ney and DeLay Also Among Stanford's Investments2009-02-18 19:03:42.000
As the story behind the embattled investment company Stanford Financial Group develops, we thought we'd take an even closer look at the seeds the company may have tried to plant in Washington via campaign contributions. When looking at ALL lawmakers to collect money from the company's PAC and employees (not just members of the current Congress), some additional, important names appear at the top of the recipient list.
- Investment Manager Stanford Was Big-Time Campaign Contributor2009-02-17 15:26:04.000
Money manager Robert Allen Stanford now has two things in common with embattled investment manager Bernard Madoff: both have come under scrutiny for allegedly defrauding their investors, and both have given significant funds to politicians. Between its PAC and its employees, Stanford Financial Group has given $2.4 million to federal candidates, parties and committees since 2000.
- Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees2009-02-12 13:55:30.000
The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
- Races to Watch IX: Wall Streets Favorite Candidates 2008-10-09 14:07:00.000
Not at all to the chagrin of oil and gas companies (and lawmakers who have received campaign donations from them), Wall Street is the new black for congressional candidates looking to link their opponents to an unpopular industry. As federal lawmakers have wrestled with an economic bailout plan worth $700 billion, candidates who have received contributions from the financial sector are on the defensive. Find out which candidates are filling their war chests with money from the finance sector in Capital Eye's final installment of Races to Watch.
- Races to Watch VII: Where Cash Has No Competition2008-10-02 15:21:41.000
Like reading tea leaves, one way to predict how a congressional race is going to go is by looking at the disparity in fundraising between the candidates. So far this election cycle, 280 House and Senate incumbents on November's ballot have collected at least 10 times more than the opponent they face in the general election. In this installment of Races to Watch, Capital Eye looks into why some of these incumbents have been such successful fundraisers.
- Races to Watch VI: Candidates Backed by PACs2008-10-01 16:45:52.000
More than a quarter of the money raised by congressional candidates on the November ballot has come from business and labor PACs, not from individual donors, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Capital Eye has profiled some races where labor union and business PAC money is playing the largest role.
- Races to Watch V: Lobbyists Favorite Candidates 2008-09-30 19:20:13.000
Registered lobbyists aren't just getting the attention of lawmakers while on the job. Like any other member of the public, they, too, are able to contribute up to the maximum amount per election to candidates of their choice. The Center for Responsive Politics has identified the congressional races with candidates who are receiving the most money from registered lobbyists.
- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation2008-09-23 11:43:10.000
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
- Superdelegate Update2008-02-28 12:30:58.000
In an update to Capital Eye's Feb. 14 report, campaign contributions from Obama and Clinton now total nearly $950,000 and have predicted endorsements about 80 percent of the time.

Band Bio:
After their previous projects disbanded, Keinan, Joey and Nate began rehearsing in June of 2011. By the fall of that year, the band had assembled the track list for their debut E.P. Hint, Hint. They began recording in September with Jeremy Simon at Viking Camel Studio in Pottstown, PA. During recording, the band debated several names before deciding on New Shields, a take on the song "Young Shields" by Casiotones for the Painfully Alone. New Shields debuted live on October 20th as the opening act for the Boston Indie-Pop band The Hush Now at the Raven Lounge in Philadelphia.
Hint, Hint was released on January 20th 2012 to Facebook, Bandcamp and several other music websites. Nick Lewis joined the band shortly thereafter to round out the roster.
On January 27th, Hint, Hint was featured on Absolute Punk's Free Music Friday.

Simple appreciation of the Supreme is called santa-rasa.
In the beginning, this is called santa-rasa, to understand the greatness of God, "God is great." There is no exchange
You can serve Krsna passively, as Vrndavana land, as tree, as water, so many, as flowers, as fruits. This is called santa rasa.
To realize the creation of God with awe and veneration, appreciation, that is one relationship. This is called santa rasa simply appreciation.
Realization of "Brahman" and "Paramatma" is also a transcendental mellow (Rasa) which is called 'Santa Rasa,' a transcendental stage where the transcendental activities are non-manifest.
The acceptance of the greatness of God is called santa-rasa. It is also peaceful realization: "I have realized the greatest." This is called brahma-bhuta. "I am qualitatively one with the Supreme. I am Brahman, and the Lord is also Brahman." Suppose a very big man is our very nearest and dearest relative. Are we not proud of it? For example, wouldn't you feel proud to know that the President were your uncle? Similarly, as soon as one understands that he is Brahman or that Krsna is Param Brahman, he will feel ecstasy. That is called santa-rasa.
When one gets out of the so-called happiness of material life and becomes conscious that God is great, that is called santa-rasa

Audubon At Home >
They are like old friends; the familiar birds that traverse through your yard or visit your feeder almost every day. They might be the birds you knew by name as a child: robin, cardinal, goldfinch, jay, or junco. These and many other abundant species are currently America's common birds.
Birds rely on the resources that nature provides, often plants which supply them with fruits, nuts and an array of insects. Plants also provide shelter and nesting sites along with nest material, perches from which to survey, and safe places to sleep or wait out a storm.
Science has proven that certain birds prefer the foods and resources offered by particular native plants with which they may have coevolved. This provides a logical and simple solution to the question of how to help common species: plant the plants that the birds use. Plant a variety of species to mimic natural habitat.
Here are a few regional suggestions for some of your favorite birds. Check back often for an expanded plant database and further resources.
