Anyone use / wear ruby ?
25-08-2006, 05:56
Don't seem to hear much about them on this forum. Have any of you had any experience with working with rubies ?
25-08-2006, 08:17
I wish I could afford to discuss ruby, but with a precious stone, I wouldn't be able to settle for lesser grade, either cut or raw. :(
25-08-2006, 08:30
You know Redflash that is always a gem I have wanted. I had a little pin with four small rubies in it that I gave to my daughter but in those days did not understand the import of the rubies.
I think I am going to pursue acquiring a ruby, either the gem itself, they are not so very expensive except when in jewellery or a raw type which is still ruby untouched.
What has been your experience Redflash ?

I LOVE the common regular Ruby. It is wonderfully healing, nurturing,energizing and balancing. A major heart healer as well as a stone of survival , restorative. strengthens physical body, emotional healing , love, confidence, vitality, stamina, courage, strength, leadership, stimulates circulation, earth healing .
Womens issues, Passion,and calming , Earth and Fire elemental healing.
Spiritually grounding . also worn for clarity and wisdom and an as a wealth bringer. It can improve ones success at handling in controversies and disputes, encourage gentleness an excellent shielding stone, protecting on all levels andsafeguarding ones consciousness from psychic attack.
used to protect the wearer/carrier against unhappiness, distressing dreams, and lightning. encourages bliss and alleviates inner darkness
Don't let the idea that you have to have a fine gem quality stone get in the way of establishing a relationship with Ruby. Many of the inexpensive low grade stones have a tremendous oomph and beauty and they are often really affordable I have flat rubies the size of a quarter I have tiny ones and medium sized ones I even have one with a bit of lovely chatoyancy if not a true star. Anyway as you may have guessed I feel that Ruby is a wonderful companion for your crystal healing and meditations My two most recent are a lovely violetish ruby dedicated to Kwan Yin and the violet flame and an absolutely magnificent Ruby in Zoisite Puffy heart that is just juicy with wonderful healing energies and loving comfort ( I work with heart shaped stones in place of cabochons for a lot of my laying on of stones work.)
Any way I have gone on way too long ( I'm Gemini did you guess)
anyway yes rubies are a very useful in a great deal of crystal healing, magick and meditation work.

Unfortunatly not but I did have a wonderfull experience with one once.
If anyone on the east coast of Oz has ever had the pleasure of visiting the Ballina Gem and Mineral Museum (now closed and dispersed?) you might have seen it. I went there with a friend who was selling Tintenbar opal and got talking to the guy who owned the shop. He asked if I liked crystals and showed me one in the case. It was very dark, nearly black/maroon, a a natural rod with an off-set point on one end, the other end broken at about 45 deg. about 3 inches wide 5 inches long. he handed it to me and asked me what I thought about it. It seemed to have a deep and strong energy but calming. he them told me it was ruby. I was pretty amazed as I have only seen small cut and uncut ones, never anything this big, I have no I idea what it was worth, or if I was even being told the truth. Maybe they arent worth so much like that? he wanted to sell it to me for about $500 along with just about anything else - the shop was closing down. I was broke that day ... I wonder if any lucky cashed up person came along ... he had bargains galore!
Do you think this would have been a real ruby crystal rod?
25-08-2006, 10:36
Another amazing thing about ruby; I remember reading when I was young that the first laser beam was produced by coiling a xenon tube around a ruby rod, the tube was electrically activated, a light shon in one end of the rod and a laser beam came out the other end of the rod .... wow! That's some crystal tech!

Love Rubys. But skygreen said it best.
25-08-2006, 16:25
I haven't used them much yet. Have a few of the small, flat rough pieces, they're not much to look at but they just feel good to hold. I have a tiny ruby star cab that I want set into a pendant, just trying to come up with a design.
I bought an oval shaped ruby pendant a little while ago that I have had made into a ring, just picked it up from the jewellers yesterday. I had been looking round a crystal shop, just browsing, when I just felt something telling me to turn round & go see what was in the corner. There it was, not very well displayed, an oval ruby pendant set in silver, in a style that I wouldn't wear. The stone has lots of clouding, it's not gem grade really. But I knew I had to have it & get it set into a ring. I haven't charged or dedicated it yet. Its definitely got OOOMPH !
I'm going to keep it on & see what happens. I don't really react to crystals, apart from herkimers & moldavite, & I don't really work with them now, sometimes slip a piece of merlinite into my pocket to bring some magic into my life ! But there's something about this one. I will post on this forum about any experiences. xx

Don't overlook naturally ocuring ruby-in-zoisite, which combines the properties of both stones and is a generally available at reasonable prices
(ruby-in-fuschite and ruby-in-kyanite are other highly useful stones but not as generally available as ruby-in-zoisite-see Gienger's "Healing Crystals from A-Z' for synopses of properties of each of the above)
26-08-2006, 21:26
I love rubies - but a good one is beyond my price range ;)
So I console myself with this saying from the Bible: "Who can sufficiently praise a good woman? Her value is above rubies". :D

If anyone lives near Caves (the type you can visit) they always have bags of sand with minerals and you can 'pan' them (there at the cave site with running water and a screen).
I have rough cut rubies and emeralds. The sand bad is full of them for about $10.00. And they they fossils too, which are excellent for healing.
And a ruby is a ruby and a emerald is a emerald whether or not it's a jeweler's grade or a healers grade.
And don't forget to look at the ruby beads on e-bay. You should be able to get them at good prices.

Of all the precious stones, I think ruby is the most beautiful. I have a ruby in my engagement ring and a beautiful ruby ring that I brought back from India some years ago (jewellery was incredibly cheap there). And I have a little Victorian brooch with a ruby in it, given to me by my husband's aunt and which had belonged to her great aunt Mary.
I've not worked with rubies - I just love wearing them!

Ummm .... no, sorry. I was having a joke with Helvetica (that's why I quoted her).

Who is this maiden robed for a bride,
White shoulders and bright brows adorable,
The flaming locks that clothe her, and abide,
As God were bathing in the fire of Hell?
They change, they grow, they shake
As sunlight on the lake:
They hiss, they glisten on her bosom bare.
O maiden, maiden queen!
The lightning flows between
Thy mounting breasts, too magically fair.
Draw me, O draw me to a dreaming death!
Send out thine opiate breath,
And lull me to the everlasting sleep,
That, closing from the kisses of disdain
To ecstasy of pain,
I may sob out my life into their dangerous deep.
Who cometh from the mountain as a tower
Stalwart and set against the fiery foes!
Who, breathing as a jasmine-laden bower?
Who, crowned and lissome as a living rose?
Sharp thorns in thee are set;
In me, in me beget
The dolorous despair of this desire.
Thy body sways and swings
Above the tide of things,
Laps me as ocean, wraps me round as fire!
Ye elemental sorceries of song,
Surge, strenuous and strong,
Seeking dead dreams, the secret of the shrine;
So that she drain my life and being up
As from a golden cup,
To mingle in her blood, death's kiss incarnadine.
Who cometh from the ocean as a flower?
Who blossometh above the barren sea,
Thy lotus set beneath thee for a bower,
Thine eyes awakened, lightened, fallen on me?
O Goddess, queen, and wife!
O lady of my life!
Who set thy stature as a wood to wave?
Whose love begat thy limbs?
Whose wave-washed body swims
That nurtured thee, and found herself a grave?
But thou, O thou, hast risen from the deep!
All mortals mourn and weep
To see thee, seeing that all love must die
Besides thy beauty, see thee and despair!
Deadly as thou art fair.

I used to have a very small ruby which was given to me as a natural apidural when I last gave birth...it was supposed to reduce pain during labor...well,- it STILL hurt unbelievably much but the birth itself was reduced by 4 times my usual, so perhaps it did help after all... :D :)

skygreen, i did not know so much about the ruby---thanks for posting all that. i love the ruby too---(i love ALL gemstones!), and for our 10th anniversary, my husband and i exchanged ruby rings to wear with our wedding rings. mainly because it is also our daughter's birthstone, and so the ruby has special meaning to us both.
your posting on this stone has led me to want to learn more about gemstones. i wonder---does this site have information on all gemstones? guess i'll find out soon enough. and no, ruby's don't have to be expensive--we really did not spend much on our ruby rings, and they are beautiful stones. we get great compliments on them all the time!

for our 10th anniversary, my husband and i exchanged ruby rings to wear with our wedding rings. mainly because it is also our daughter's birthstone, and so the ruby has special meaning to us both
When I was pregnant with my first son, my wedding band didn't fit, and my husband bought me a ruby ring to wear instead. It has five rubies and it's really pretty. Ruby is my birthstone. Now that my wedding ring fits, I hardly wear the ruby ring anymore, but when I do, I put it on first, then the wedding band, then the engagement ring. It looks great together but I'm not a huge jewelry person so I don't usually wear that much (ok, I don't usually wear any jewelry at all). But this thread is making me want to get out my ruby ring and start wearing it again.

Rubies are a blessing! I use a ring and earrings, and I own a record keeper one too.
I use them with black and white opal and emerald

I have a large star ruby cabuchon about half an inch across and set into a huge, or at least it seems so to me because I'm petite (about 2 1/2 inches across) megalodon shark's tooth and then it's wrapped with heavy gold wire to make a pendant that was made and given to by someone online several years ago. I've always sensed a tremendous power about the pendant. It was stolen four years ago and about six months ago, was returned to me by someone who knew it was mine and "stole" it back. When I received it in the first place, it was from a shaman/artist fellow and I thought it was sort of odd and extravagant to just be given it by someone I didn't know at all and odd in design for me to wear, but I do wear it sometimes. Holding it in my hand, it's just very awe-inspiring to think of the ancientness of the tooth. And I hadn't even known star rubies existed. Now I've read up on them and know that they're not all that common and that by heating rubies, the chatoiyancy goes away and the stones become more clear, which might be why the stars are not more common. In the natural form, rubies are not very clear, so the big dealers buy tons of rough and then expose it to heat treatment to make it clear.
Thanks for the information on rubies. I think I'll wear it more often now, maybe on a neckwire.

I am a ring person, and my husband gave me a lovely ruby and diamond ring, several years ago as a Christmas present. My favourite novel is Jane Eyre and throughout the whole book is symbolism based on red and white, so we call this my Jane Eyre ring! I even wear it at night because it gives me a sort of comfort when I wear my favourite rings. When I was sick, this past year, my husband would place it on my finger before I went to sleep and called it my "power ring" so I would sleep well. I just love it because it is pretty!
05-09-2007, 20:02
I'm absolutely mad about rubies! Today my husband promised me that if I still think I want to have some ruby jewellery on friday next week, we could maybe get me some. Now, I'm not talking about the very expensive ones but the sort of opaque looking ones from India.
Here's what I get to choose from... What would you choose?

That's a link to E-bay as I typed in Ruby pendant. I bought one similiar to this one at a wholesale bead show for $26.00. Mine has 2 more rows of rubies forming a sunburst. I think it's beautiful. The one pictured isn't going to be small, it's rather big!!!! You would love it. I see them listed all the time. The rubies and pendant are from India. You won't be disappointed. I should have got the Emerald one too!!!!!
The rubies are translucent to opaque, and bright pinky red, ruby red!
Truly a wonderful find. They aren't that expensive unless you go with a flawless cut ruby.
I have some uncut rubies I got at a cave mine (that bag of sand you pan through for gems and fun).
06-09-2007, 01:54
I would have a look at eBay before you decide, there are some good deals there. I purchased a cut sapphire from India off eBay and was most happy with what I received. As for what to choose, ask yourself what looks best on you. Also, silver tarnishes very quickly on some people, making rings and bracelets black in no time.
06-09-2007, 06:10
Aure, obviously you should go with the ones you are most drawn too but me personally seeing that you asked the question.. I like...
As I think they match up quite well as a sort of set.
And this ring: http://ametisti.net/kauppa/picserve.cgi?picserve=/RUBIINI999.JPG I luuuuurve it :D I like it as it makes a statement and I personally love big rings (ones that wrap around the fingers)
You will have to show us which ones you get :)

Baldwin School Supt. Paul Dorathy couldn't say much Wednesday about a Tuesday helicopter ambulance ride for a Baldwin High School freshman except that the girl is doing fine.
"She's in school today attending her classes," Dorathy said. "That's what I can tell you. For everyone to know, she's fine."
The school district is bound by privacy laws, and Dorathy would not reveal any more about Tuesday's incident on the football practice field at Baldwin High around 2 p.m.
The student was participating in physical education class, jogging on the football field, when she passed out, he said. Her teacher sent for the school trainer and an ambulance. The ambulance crew determined the girl should be sent to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., via helicopter ambulance.
"I'm not going to judge the ambulance crew's choice," he said.
Dorathy said the girl returned to school Wednesday morning with a note from her doctor.

The craft of art: 1901-1911
In the 1890s, Preston studied at the prestigious
National Gallery School in Melbourne where she was taught the academic
tonal technique of painting. This routinely involved placing the
darkest tones and background shadows and carefully blending up to
lighter tones before finally painting in the impasto highlights.
Preston's earliest known paintings reveal her initial desire
to paint domestic objects 'with such fidelity to nature that
they could almost be used in the kitchen.'
The foundations of such sombre illusionism were shaken
by her first trip to Europe (1904-06) and exposure to German Successionist
and Fauves paintings. Returning to Adelaide she worked to bring
'design in colour to realism' and was claimed by 1911
as 'probably unequalled in Australia in the department of
still lifes'.

My first BIG disappointment and the season hasn't started yet. My extremely early favorite, now known as Claudia, is a 22 yr old resturanteur from Boca Raton (translate to read waitress unless her family owns the resturant). 22 YEARS OLD and she looks much older - I would have thought at least 28. At this rate she'll be needing collagen wrinkle treatments by the time she is 35. Stay out of the sun, Claudia!
Woman in pre-caps with dark top and white skirt has kind of a "Grace Kelly" look to her. Maybe she is Erica, the socialite from Houston, or maybe she is our secret Aria singer, or maybe this is Jami another event planner from Texas.
Claudia, Claudia...why couldn't you be the ultrasound technician or even a teacher (one did well last Bachelor - NOT!) I will survive this let-down and build my snark machine..okay...I'm over it...the ICK meter is running.

We booked both apartments for two weeks for a family holiday of mixed ages. We enjoyed the location, setting, views and all the mod cons you could possibly need. The roof terrace views are just so beautiful and the upper apartment has a lovely open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room with two arched windows shaping and setting yet more wonderful views. The apartment is set back from the Main Street in a beautiful cobbled yard and is very peaceful. The two apartments were ideal as it provided space for the two families to spend time together as well as have our own space. The downstairs apartment has a spiral open metal vintage style staircase which leads to the master bedroom, which is nice and cool with a lovely shower. The apartments are both in excellent order and in the centre of Borme so everything is easily accessible. I'd definitely recommend this apartment and would stay here again.
Situated in the center of old Bormes village this home lacks no comfort or convenience. We truly enjoyed our stay here. The owner was easily reached by email and responded immediately to inquiries. The home is kept perfectly clean and secure.
Bormes is a quiet village in the winter with mild weather and lots of sunshine. We enjoyed walking in the neighboring hills and along the nearby coastline.
We highly recommend this property to anyone interested in the comfort of a home away from home. It is really a 5+ property.
Can only recommend this stunning property. The terrace and the view over Bormes and the coast are stunning. It was quiet and peaceful, and the house was completely equipped with every luxury that one could need.
Pierre Alexande Pautrat was extremely helpful, and made us feel very welcome.
I have stayed at 4 different rentals through Homeaway and this is my first review because this is the first 5 star review I can give (I don't want to be the person to negatively impact a person's business even though I rely on those reviews myself).
Anyway, we stayed here for a week and half in February and I cannot not say enough nice things. What I liked most about this place was that it felt like a home (as opposed to a sterile vacation rental) and had every modern convenience you could possibly think of- a dishwasher, a dryer, a soda stream, towel warmers etc. It is located right in the charming village on a pedestrian alley. You feel like you are stepping back into time until you enter this very modern, newly renovated home. The views are beyond stunning and the roof top terrace was incredible. I could go on and on.
The owner, Pierre, was so great to work with. He was very helpful and always got back to us quickly. I had been nervous about the stairs and the white furniture prior to our stay because we were traveling with a toddler. Pierre purchased baby gates to block the stairs and assured us that all of the furniture was washable. So it worked out perfectly.
The village itself is great. We were there in the off season so a lot of the shops weren't opened but that was to be expected. We did some nice walks in the village and drove to the nearby beaches and vineyards which were all beautiful. Despite being the middle of winter the weather was still pretty nice. We had a few rainy days which gave us an excuse to stay inside and take advantage of the apply tv.
I am not sure if we will be returning to France anytime soon but I loved this place so much that I really wish we could. I highly recommend it.
Stylish apartment in a town house, centrally located, and all the mod cons you could wish for. The views from the terrace and the living room are truly stunning. And the owners are really friendly and helpful too!
The attention to detail is superb and it really is a home from home. Luxurious bathroom fittings, soft towels, comfortable beds, loads of pillows and plenty of built-in storage. Quality utensils, Nespresso machine, chilled wine cabinet and soda stream in the kitchen. My daughter loved the antique school desk in her bedroom and my husband loved the speakers that are built into the wall in the living room. We used the Apple TV to watch a rented film on the big screen -- perfect when the little ones are tucked up in bed.
There are lots of amenities nearby. The bakery is just a few minutes stroll from the Belvedere and gave away free donuts to our children. There's a small deli round the corner for ham and cheese. And there's plenty of restaurants, snack bars and ice cream parlours to choose from.
You're spoilt for choice with local beaches. We especially enjoyed the Estagnol beach -- park in amongst the pine trees and enjoy the day in the sandy bay. The Estagnol restaurant is highly recommended too, serving fish caught on the day and pizzas and steaks cooked in the wood oven.
Our one year old had chicken pox during our stay and the owners couldn't have been more helpful with recommending a local doctor. Plus we had full use of the telephone to call our insurers back in the UK and sort things out with the airline.
We rented only the top apartment and on our return the grandparents wished they hadn't had other plans and had stayed downstairs in the Pichot.
We were looking for somewhere to spend a weekend with our friends and their young daughter and then the rest of the week just the two of us. We usually go to Spain as so many British people do and we were pleased we decided to break with tradition and try the South of France. Bormes Les Mimosas was recommended by a friend and certainly lived up to our expectations. A really pretty medieval town just 10 mins in the car from Le Lavandou beach and not far from lots of other beaches. It took us 45 minutes to drive to St Tropez (actually I wish I had stayed in Le Lavandou as I prefer it). Bormes is quite hilly so if you are not fit then choose somewhere where you dont have to climb up the stone streets to get to the town.
The house itself is actually two houses, Belvedere and Pichot one above the other. The description on this site is spot on. It is a bit hard to find the houses but the owner was very helpful with helping us to find out about where to park and unload bags etc. The house is right in the middle of the town so a short walk from the car. Parking was not a problem once we sussed it out.
The owner has really thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The house is so modern inside with every mod con you can imagine, great wifi connection and even a printer and laptop - very useful for checking in online a the end of the week and saved us long queues at the airport.
The bedrooms are large, and have really modern ensuite bathrooms. The bedding is clean, white and crisp. The airconditioning system is briliant and very quiet. I think the cooker was good too but I didnt do any cooking as there are so many restaurants around in spitting distance of the house.
The piece de resistance has to be the terrace. Sitting up there with my ipod on with a G and T in the evenings looking at that fabulous view was just stunning.
So I would definitely give this house 5 stars and recommend it. I will certainly be looking to go back.

Blues start with win at Havant
Pompey kicked-off pre-season with a 4-0 win at Havant this afternoon, described on the Pompey Site as 'a comfortable victory' at Westleigh Park.
I could not tell you myself as I was not at the game.
Westleigh Park, as nice as it is, is a little too far to come from Devon for a pre-season friendly for me to be honest!
Although I had hoped to listen to it at least...
Pre-game, as I carried out some jobs around the house I wanted to do, I had Express FM online but, as happens for every game, you get to about 5-minutes from kick-off and you get the 'due to licensing laws this cannot be broadcast' message, which is fair enough so I thought lets just login to my PompeyPlayer account and listen that way.
Unfortunately this did not work, by all accounts there was a link for this to work but I was only aware of this after the game, hey ho...
Anyway, as much as you cannot offer up too much from listening to a game as it is, I can literally offer up nothing else but say we started with the win with all four-goals coming in the 2nd half after a 1st half said to be 'played mostly at a leisurely pace'.
Plenty of changes were made throughout the game with most the squad that was fit and will be involved this season playing, we made our first 4 changes with a little over half an hour played. A host more were made at half time with the final batch made just after the hour mark.
Wes Fogden, worryingly, is on crutches after a training ground injury - the seriousness of this is not yet know whereas David Connolly did not travel with the squad.
You would imagine it is just a matter of when, and not if, he moves on...
Coming on at half time included Craig Westcarr, and he took just 5-minutes to score. He did exactly what you want a striker, ideally a poacher, to do - 'stab home' from close range.
Another coming on at the break was former Havant loanee Ryan Bird and he added our 2nd on 65-minutes.
Included the final batch on players to come on was Ricky Holmes and he got in on the goalscoring act with our next with 8-minutes to play with Westcarr again in the right place at the right time on 86-minutes to add our fourth and final goal, following up after a fine save apparently.
Pompey (4-2-3-1): Poke (Jones 46); Webster (East 46), Devera, (Chorley 46), Whatmough (Wynter 32 (Ertl 63)), Shorey (Butler 46); Atangana (c) (Hollands 46), Dunne (Awford 32 (Close 63)); Tarbuck (Bird 46), Wallace (Westcarr 46), Barcham (Maloney 32 (Holmes 63)); Agyemang (Taylor 32 (Storey 63))
Goals: Westcarr 50, 86, Bird 65, Holmes 82
Referee: Andy Laver
Attendance: 2,500
So, can anyone that attended - or at least heard the commentary - offer up any views on the game?
Not that you can take much from a pre-season friendly of course and in particular the opening one!
That said a win is a win though and you will take whatever you can, coming through these games is the main thing though as fitness is built up ahead of the main event...

My family was delighted when we learned we would be receiving free ice cream! As a Mom Central blogger I am happy to participate in the Dreyer's Slow Churned blog tour!
We had not tried the Slow Churned ice cream and were pleasantly surprised to find a wide variety of flavors to chose from! More than 20 iconic choices! Dreyer's Slow Churned ice cream is made with the same quality ingredients as regular ice cream, but through a slow proprietary process the same creamy taste is created with half the fat and one third the calories!
Peanut butter cup was our choice! It was delicious! It tasted just like regular ice cream! I felt good about serving my family Dreyer's Slow Churned ice cream as a "better for you" alternative! The comparisons speak for themselves! One serving of Dreyer's Slow Churned Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is 120 calories and 4.5 grams of fat, compared to 150 calories and 8 grams of fat in Dreyer's regular Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream!
Operation Smile
This summer, TV personality, actress and model Brooke Burke has partnered with Dreyer's® Slow Churned Light Ice Cream to give away more than 25,000 free scoops of ice cream…turning scoops into smiles!
Support with a Smile:
• For every "ice cream smile" photo uploaded to Dreyer's Facebook page $5 will be donated to Operation Smile, an international children's medical charity.
• The goal is to give away more than 25,000 scoops of ice cream, capture 25,000 photos of ice cream smiles before summer's end.
• These efforts will help deliver more than 500 reconstructive surgeries to children around the globe suffering from cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities.
• Of the photos submitted, ten lucky smiles will be featured in a Dreyer's Slow Churned print ad.
• One lucky picture will win a coveted spot on the cartons of a Slow Churned limited-edition flavor, being re-introduced to store shelves in early 2013.
Ready to Scream for Free Ice Cream?
The campaign kicked off June 6 with Brooke Burke handing out the first scoop of ice cream at The Grove in Los Angeles. From there, the Reason to Smile team (and the Slow Churned photo booth) travels to:
• August 2: The Slow Churned SocialLuxe Lounge, New York, NY
• August 10—12: Denver County Fair, Denver, CO
Can't make it to an event? Log on to Facebook.com/Dreyer'sIceCream to receive a full-value product coupon, redeemable at all participating retail accounts and upload a smile to support the cause!
Upload your smiles! We did!
"I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Dreyer's / Edy's. I received a coupon to purchase product samples and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate."

Kovay History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Britons. It was a name for a tender of cattle. The name is an adaptation of the Old English word cuhyrde, of the same meaning. It derives from the roots, cu, meaning cow, and hierde, meaning herdsman. The family were "mainly from the ancient barony of Cowie in Kincardineshire." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Black, George F., The Surnames of Scotland Their Origin, Meaning and History. New York: New York Public Library, 1946. Print. (ISBN 0-87104-172-3) [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print.
Early Origins of the Kovay family
Kincardineshire (Gaelic: A' Mhaoirne), a former county on the northeast coast of the Grampian region of Scotland, and part of the Aberdeenshire Council Area since 1996. Cowie is a small village "situated at the mouth of the river Cowie, which falls into a bay of that name, forming a small and commodious harbour." [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
Cowie Castle is a ruined fortress nearby and is thought to have been the site of a royal hunting lodge in the Middle Ages. Cowie Chapel also known as the Chapel of St. Mary and St. Nathalan is a ruined chapel but is one of the oldest surviving structures in Kincardineshire.
One of the first records of the family was Herbert de Cowy who witnessed a charter by Nicholas de Dumfres in 1394. Years later, John Cowy was admitted burgess of Aberdeen in 1505. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Migration of the Kovay family to the New World and Oceana
In such difficult times, the difficulties of raising the money to cross the Atlantic to North America did not seem so large compared to the problems of keeping a family together in Scotland. It was a journey well worth the cost, since it was rewarded with land and freedom the Scots could not find at home. The American War of Independence solidified that freedom, and many of those settlers went on to play important parts in the forging of a great nation. Among them: Phillip Cowie settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1834; followed by Thomas in 1859.

The outfit Kinky Zee has on is all about modeling her cameltoe. It looks like it was made for working out in the 80s and now it´s being used to arouse 30 years later. The way it pushes up tight between her legs and clings to her pussy is the breathtaking part. That hot snatch is awesome!
Kinky Zee uses her site as a forum for exploring her fetishistic desires. She is fond of spandex, nylon, food play and more. She dresses up in sexy, shiny clothes all the time because it drives her so wild with desire. She has picture galleries and videos that help her live the fantasy and she wants you to come along.

The Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises will meet for a hearing on Thursday to examine recent actions taken by the Obama Administration that have favored particular groups at the expense of U.S. investors.
"We are holding this hearing to examine a number of actions taken by the Obama administration where they have sided with big banks, deadbeat foreign governments and big labor at the expense of public pension funds, 401(k) plans, university endowments, mutual funds, insurance companies, foundations and municipal entities. Investor protection is tantamount to ensuring healthy and well-functioning capital markets. The administration should be working to protect investors, not harm them," said Subcommittee Chairman Scott Garrett.
In particular, the hearing will focus on:
the Administration's role in brokering the mortgage servicing settlement agreement that allows mortgage servicers to write down the principal on mortgages held by asset-backed securitization trusts;
the Administration's filing of an unsolicited amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in support of Argentina and against U.S. investors; and
the Administration's conditioning its financial support of Chrysler on secured bondholders accepting 29 cents-on-the-dollar while the United Auto Workers pension plans, which were unsecured creditors, received more than 40 cents-on-the-dollar.
The hearing will take place on Thursday, June 7 at 2 p.m. in room 2128 Rayburn House Office Building.

The relation between gender -stereotyped behavior and adolescent depression: A sequential analysis of adolescent -mother interactions
One of the most commonly reported findings in the epidemiology of psychological disorders is the 2:1 ratio of women to men who suffer from depression, a difference in prevalence rates that first emerges during the adolescent years. Although aspects of the feminine gender role have been identified as risk factors for depressive symptoms, the analysis of interpersonal interaction is rarely used to assess how these constructs may be behaviorally enacted. In this dissertation, interactions between mothers and adolescents were analyzed to identify specific sequences of behavior associated with adolescents' depressive symptoms, with the aim of clarifying reasons for the dramatic increase in depression among adolescent girls. A community sample of 79 adolescents & their families participated over a 3-year period. Thirty-two consecutive segments of a videotaped problem-solving interaction task were viewed by participants and coded on the dimensions of support, conflict, giving-in, humor, misunderstanding , and sarcasm. Using sequential analyses and multiple linear regression, I assessed the extent to which sequences consistent with the feminine gender role (conflict paired with giving-in ) predicted concurrent and future depressive symptoms. Additional exploratory analyses examined maternal reactions to adolescent conflict. Results indicate that the pairing of conflict with giving-in during problem-solving interactions is predictive of future depressive symptoms, and that adolescent sex and history of depressive symptoms moderate this relation. As expected, the behavioral combination of conflict with giving-in was a riskier one for girls and for adolescents with a history of depressive symptoms. Maternal responses to adolescent conflict did not differ when mother-son dyads were compared to mother-daughter dyads. ^

A little rough math (I will be rounding out). Prior to season 25 there are 530 episodes of the Simpsons. Each episode is about 22min long if you minus the commercials. That is 11,660 minutes of show, which equals 194 hours. If you watched from episode one to episode 530 for 8 hours a day (as if it were your job) it would take you about 24 days. If you times that by 4, which seems to be a good average of how many times people say they have watched the series, it would take about 3 1/4 months out of your life…Aint nobody got time for that!

Like saying the author is acting like he was a troll child when it clearly states right at the top how dreamy he was and how he made girls fall in love with him.

Naturally, I read this comic back when VG Cats was still, y'know, being actively made by Scott Ramsoomair, and even back then, I just had one little issue with how the comic/this animation panned out, and that's the fact that, given a choice of characters to play in any Street Fighter game starting with Street Fighter Alpha 2, I'll usually default to Dan "The Man" Hibiki, and I actually did better and got a higher top score on at least one arcade cabinet of SFA2 than the former first place who was using Akuma (I don't remember exact scores, but my score was something like 200k higher than the person playing as Akuma). Of course, that's not a critique of the animation, because this was just recreating Scott's original comic as an animation... but, yeah, Dan doesn't really throw impressive fireballs. At all. Ever.
Man I Wish Leo And Aeris Could Play Video Games With Us Fans
I loved this! I think my only complaint was that the animation was in fact a little off. It's still great for what it is. I don't specifically remember this comic. It's great that webcomics are coming to life like this. There was one VG Cats cartoon that lasted one episode.
I'm glad that this is around. It's great to hear these voices. They really are what I imagined they would be like! Well, like I said, this isn't the first time I've heard them, I think? Anyway, I wish Scott himself had an account to download these.
Holy crap, I didn't know vgcats had ever been animated. That's just weird.
Add to the characteristics of female fighting game characters, that they MUST all have at least one kissing-motif attack. Or in Mortal Kombat, they must have at least one kissing-motif fatality. And not just one female character. Oh no. Every single female character, and in every single game.
I liked their Akuma and Cammy getups.
This is hilarious
I like the comics

Security solution providers report strong fourth-quarter sales
A number of security solution providers are posting strong revenue gains despite the downturn in technology spending.
Guardent, a three-year-old Waltham-based managed security service provider and consultant, expects to double its sales this year to about $30 million, up from $14 million in 2001, said Dan McCall, co-founder and executive vice president.
"We're on a pretty aggressive growth curve, and business is going extremely well for us in the managed services area," McCall said. "We're topping out with about 1,000 devices under management. We've hit a real critical mass."
'Business is going extremely well for us in the managed services are.' -- Dan McCall, Guardent
McCall and two other company co-founders recently were named New England Regional Winners of the 2002 Ernst and Young Entrepreneurs of the Year competition in recognition of record growth in revenue and customer base.
FishNet Security, a six-year-old security specialist in Kansas City, Mo., has seen its sales grow 30 percent this year, said Gary Fish, CEO of FishNet.
Fourth-quarter sales appear to be strong, he said, adding that although profit margins on security products are down this year, FishNet is pushing ahead with more services.
FishNet is a "best-of-breed" security integrator supporting a wide range of products from vendors including Check Point Software Technologies, RSA Security, Trend Micro and Websense. FishNet also has its own software package that manages policy revision and control.
@Stake, a 120-person Cambridge, Mass.-based security consulting and applications company, has seen steady growth this year, mostly on the applications side of the business, said Chris Wysopal, director of research and development at @Stake.
"Network security is sort of a commodity," Wysopal said. "We've seen a huge amount of growth in our applications business, which is probably 50 percent of our business now."
Icons, a five-year-old security solution provider in North Brunswick, N.J., also has seen strong growth in applications security, said Paul Rohmeyer, COO of Icons, whose top vendor partner is Symantec.
Icons has also seen strong growth in enterprise security architecture planning and design, Rohmeyer said. "We definitely see an increase in the fourth quarter," he said of the market outlook.
Conqwest, a Holliston, Mass.-based security integrator, is posting gains, but not as dramatic as in the past several years, said Michele Drolet, CEO of Conqwest. That said, there is "more services opportunity right now than we've ever seen before," Drolet said.
The IT spending downturn has made it easier to hire talented executives, Drolet said. For example, Conqwest has hired three executives from now-defunct Global Crossing.
FishNet has hired six engineers from competitors. "This is the first year I have been able to hire talent away from competitors," Fish said. "Before, a lot of people were bound by very strict non-compete [agreements."
Guardent is also seeing a "relatively easy climate" in terms of hiring engineers and consultants, McCall said. Guardent's consultants have 11 years of experience on average, he said, noting that the company is extremely selective when it comes to bringing in new talent.
The one area where it has been difficult to hire talent is operational security, including intrusion detection, he said. "The people who really get it when it comes to firewalls are in very high demand," McCall said. "In fact, we're seeing people poaching our people because we've trained them and they are really, really good. Some companies are coming in and offering them what constitutes obscene salaries, given some of [their experience levels."

DALLAS, April 25-The number of Mom entrepreneurs continues to grow as more women start their own businesses, up 54 percent over the past 15 years, however still receive well under 10 percent of equity financing. 1 The Huggies® MomInspired™ Grant Program - now in its third year - was created to help these "mompreneurs" make their business dreams a reality by providing business counsel and money to fund women-owned startups of new product innovations.
Moms can apply starting today for the 2012 program at www.HuggiesMomInspired.com, and Huggies will award $15,000 grants to up to 12 moms who are hoping to explore and grow their own unique product ideas that makes parents' life easier.

"We look forward to supporting a whole new group of moms and will continue to empower the expanding 'mompreneur' community with this program. Plus, we can't wait to see the innovative ideas this year's applicants have to help nurture the relationship between mothers and their children."
MomInspired Success Stories: From Idea to Reality
This year's grant recipients will join the ranks of 21 other Moms that have been growing their products and businesses, from diaper wipe dispensers to nausea relief bands. Since being awarded a Huggies MomInspired grant in 2010, Allyson Phillips, creator of TILTY™ Cup, an ergonomic toddler drinking cup, has grown sales 200 percent and her product has even been featured in a Got Milk? advertisement. "I had this great idea, but needed a way to make it happen," Phillips said. "The money I received from the Huggies MomInspired grant program helped get my business off the ground and the mentorship provided support and direction to help get me where I am today."

Re: Twitty Origins - John Twitty
Patricia: Yes, it appears we are indeed cousins, a bit removed. Any information would be appreciated. Also, I'm working with Michael Twitty, an African-American, who is interested in tracing his roots. It appears that the John Twitty side of the family (one of Thomas' two sons) had more slaves than Captain Twitty's side. The only slave names I have are Solomon and Dennis, two of John Twitty's slaves used as collateral in a loan, and Dilsy, a slave woman given to Peter Twitty (a son of Captain Thomas) by a George Wright of Georgia. There is no telling if Dilsy kept the name Wright or took her new owner's name. Any information that may help Michael would be appreciated.

Council for Oro senior citizens formed-A A +A
Monday, February 24, 2014
TO HARMONIZE the relationship of the senior citizens belonging to the different organizations here, the City Government of Cagayan de Oro recently created a council of elders to better address their concerns.
Mayor Oscar Moreno said that the creation of the Council of Elders for Senior Citizens (CESC), would iron out differences of the members of the Cagayan de Oro Federation of Senior Citizens Association (Cafesca), which is in existence for 31 years, and the Cagayan de Oro Federation of Elders (Cafe), which have been at odds on how their affairs should be managed.
Moreno said that the division among the elderlies in the city would slow down efforts of the government in the delivery of services intended for them.
"I want our senior citizens united for a common good so that we, in government, can also look after their unified concerns and needs, thus the creation of the council of elders." Moreno said.
Moreno signed Executive Order 022-14 creating the CESC, which will expire on June 30, 2016.
The City Social Welfare Office has documented 22,000 senior citizens who are registered with the Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs (Osca).
The City Government said it would look into the concerns of the senior citizens who claimed that they were neglected by the past administration.
The CESC is composed of Alfonso Goking, Cafesca president as chairman; Ruben Saarenas of Cafe as vice chairman, Monavic Bodiongan, of the Department of Social Welfare and Development; Efren Uy of business sector; Julieta Ramirez, of the Department of Interior and Local Government; Sister Bernadette Periodico of the faith-based organization; and Datu Faustino Orasan of the tribal councils.
Teddy Sabugaa, City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD) officer said that his office has already done the process of overhauling the administration of Osca, for it to be more responsive to its members and become independent in crafting policies based on the Magna Carta for Senior Citizens and not succumb to political maneuvering.
Eugenio Atrigenio, the newly installed Osca head, said that with the Moreno administration, the requirement in updating the list of the members every quarter is being done.
"In the past we just rely on the reports submitted to us from various Cafesca chapters, but this time the monitoring and validation will be done in collaboration with or through the CSWO."
Atrigenio said, "This way, we will be carefully documented so that whatever assistance due us would be received by the concerned senior citizen."
He said that the CESC and Osca would work hand in hand to try and mend the rift between the two organizations.
"They don't see eye to eye, and that we are going to exert effort to harmonize their relationship as it is for the betterment of our interest," Atrigenio added.

STORMTRACK 3: Severe T-Storm Watch in effect for SE NC; hail, damaging winds possible through 10 p.m.
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Severe weather will be possible across the entire state through the late afternoon and evening, including Southeastern North Carolina. We're forecasting strong to severe thunderstorms that will have the chance to produce damaging winds, large hail, and even an isolated tornado will be possible.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 10 p.m. This means that severe weather is possible — and that you need to be alert. Keep an eye to the sky, and make sure you're in touch with us here at WWAY. Should any severe weather form, we will pass along the warnings to you on-air, online, and on Facebook and Twitter.
A powerful cold front is marching across the East Coast. This is what will spark the storms, which have plenty of fuel to work with, given the heat and humidity in the air today. Farther north, toward the Virginia border and into the DC Metro area, a large tornado outbreak is possible. Our threat is not as high as that.

Alyssa Harad has a secret: she is obsessed with perfume. She owns a dizzying array of tiny bottles of scent, tucked away in shoeboxes, drawers, and what she calls her "perfume closet". She plans her vacations around visiting exclusive boutiques stocked with the rarest and most coveted perfumes, elixirs so precious that she can barely dream of affording a sample, let alone an entire bottle. She became so entranced that she wrote a book, Coming to My Senses: A Story of Perfume, Pleasure, and an Unlikely Bride, that describes her gradual emersion into the decadent world of perfumery.
Harad is not the most likely person to develop a fixation for such a sensuous and rather commercial subject. After spending years obtaining a PhD in English, Harad thought she knew who she was—literate, feminist, more likely to spend money on books than on beauty supplies. But she was also drifting, aimless, searching for an avocation that would spark her passions. Oh, and did she mention she was getting married? To distract her from her life and her upcoming wedding, Harad embarked on a voyage into the mysterious and complex realm of perfume, where she found a community of bloggers, commenters, perfumers, and retail salespeople who share her preoccupation with all things olfactory. Her descriptions of how the different notes of a perfume unfold over time are exotic and imaginative. She can paint images, evoke memories, and plunge into the unknown, all from a single drop of fragrance.
As her wedding date draws near, Harad reconciles her conflicting feelings over her marriage and her obsession, leaving her more grounded and more fully present in her own life. Coming to My Senses is a personal journey of rediscovery, remembrance, and recognition that will tease your senses and soften your heart.

My advice to men like me
My Advice to Men Like Me "Living With and Through Gynecomastia
Having a medical name for my condition has made it easier to cope internally, but it's done nothing for the external shame and body issues. When people notice, they rarely mention it, except to offer what they think of as helpful advice. Most people stare and quickly look away, offering no casual conversational chance for me to to correct or alter their impression. People without noticeable physical issues have the luxury of not wondering what people on the subway, bus, or in restaurants think of them.
"Have you tried push ups?"
"Maybe if you bulked up, they (my breasts) wouldn't be as noticeable"
Imagine being told to become overweight in order to look better. It sounds crazy, right? The fact is that for men like me with clinical gynecomastia, there is no easy solution. A woman could not completely eliminate her breasts through exercise, the suggestion would seem ridiculous, and yet I've heard that advice more times than I can count.
There is, unfortunately, no easy fix for men suffering from this condition. Another aspect of the condition is that because it isn't life threatening, it sometimes isn't seen as anything more than a comical deformity. Mortality and pain aren't the only things that can threaten a life, however. This condition has colored my adolescence and every dating experience I've ever had with a near paralyzing apologetic shame. Puberty and adolescence are difficult enough without the strain of having to explain breast tissue to friends. At best, I was an oddity, "The boy with boobs", at worst I was a laughingstock. The near daily humiliation of living as a male with what appear to be breasts is a bane to self esteem and comfort, and consequently happiness.
Male breast reduction is one option for men with enlarged breasts, and in the end it was the only option that was able to completely relieve my shame and allow me to make a fresh start. Sadly, cosmetic surgery for men is often looked at with derision and can feel nearly as humiliating as suffering with the breasts. It's important to understand that this isn't an issue of vanity, and that cosmetic surgery is a perfectly normal option for anyone with a physical abnormality desiring to live a less stressful life, one devoid of stares and awkward explanations.
After all, everyone deserves to be noticed for their accomplishments and personality, not some physical imperfection.

The Deal: $200 off Botanist designs through Nov. 2
The Botanist series of benches, cocktail tables and nesting end tables from L.A.'s Orange22 Design Lab pairs a minimalist silhouette with the finishing touches of 11 noted designers. Each item begins as a single piece of aluminum, which is precisely cut, bent and faced with a high-impact powder coat or a wood veneer covered in epoxy. The sleek forms are then refined with color and graphics by artists such as Milton Glaser, Karim Rashid and Dario Antonioni.
This month, Orange22 is offering $200 off any Botanist product. Just enter the code: HALLOWEEN200 during checkout or call (877) ECO-FLOW. Two percent of the proceeds go to the artists' charities of choice. Margo Chase's Flight pattern shown above (with prices ranging from $690 for an end table to $1,214 for a cocktail table, after the discount) will benefit the Sierra Club. The sale ends Nov. 2.
