A new version of the interface makes software running on graphics chips more self-reliant and better at sharing data with conventional software running on CPUs.
Version 1.2 of the interface standard for letting general programs use graphics chip power lets programmers govern the resources available to a task.
Apple has touted using the "Power of the GPU" with the OpenCL API, but how does it run in practice? Very few current applications are coded to use Apple's new OpenCL API that is included with Snow Leopard; however, recently there have been several benc
OpenCL, created to support parallel programming in Apple's Snow Leopard operating system, may become the new world standard for parallel programming on all platforms.
OpenCL specification, an open industry standard for 3D graphics and computer audio that started as an Apple proposal but has gained many supporters, has been ratified.
The Khronos Group has announced the formation of an industry body that will study ways to make it easier to exploit GPUs on future computers--and it will start with Apple's OpenCL.
Researcher Jeremi Gosney has used five servers, 25 Radeon GPUs, Infiniband and Virtual OpenCL to crack passwords at a scary rate.
Snow Leopard features tech called Grand Central Dispatch to better tap into multicore chip power. Also: OpenCL for doing calculations on a graphics chip.
The interface is designed to let take advantage of the GPU and multicore CPUs for parallel programming tasks. The standards group will have to convince browser makers to adopt it, though.
Intel released details on its next-generation graphics chips for laptops and desktops, called Iris.

"U.S. Dept. of Commerce and Calculating "Fair" Values of Catfish Products Imported from Vietnam" Oanh Le Hoang, J.D. Candidate 2015, UW School of LawHosted by the Asian Law Center and Washington Law ReviewOanh Le Hoang's upcoming comment for the Washington Law Review analyzes the reasonableness of the U.S. Department of Commerce's recent decision in selecting a surrogate country to calculate "fair" values of catfish products imported from Vietnam (which is considered by DOC to be a non-market economy) for the period between July 2010 and August 2011. Le decided to write about this topic following her trip to the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and observing people raising catfish, during her summer internship in Vietnam.Oanh Le Hoang graduated from the Pacific Lutheran University in 2007 with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration (with a concentration in finance and minors in math and economics), and is interested in becoming an international business attorney after graduation. Prior to starting law school, Le worked as an intern, technical analyst, and, eventually, a client service associate at Russell Investments where she helped translate investment documents to and from Vietnamese. She also gathered information on Vietnam for the "Russell 20/20″ organization "which brings capital from leading institutional investors to emerging markets around the world." Le was born and raised in Da Nang, Vietnam, and is fluent in Vietnamese.

"Prepper" Mom Is Ready for Any Emergency
Disasters -- whether natural or man-made -- are scary. We don't like to think about them, so we put off planning for them. We feel safer living in the now instead of preparing for the future -- and as a result, life sometimes catches us with our pants down.
momlogic: Let's start with the basics. What types of disastrous what-ifs are we talking about?
Lisa Bedford: Disasters are scary things to think about, and I think a lot of moms think "it" will never happen -- and that's why they don't prepare. Every individual and family should prepare, first, for whatever emergency they believe is most likely to happen. In today's economic climate, most families should probably be prepared for several months of unemployment or an overall decline in their income. That is what my family has prepared for first. Here is what we have done so far:
- Paid off as much debt as possible.
- Stocked up on several months' worth of food and supplies (cleaning supplies, over-the-counter medicines, shampoo, etc.).
- Saved money.
- Paid ahead on our utility bills.
Our solar oven, the Sun Oven, would allow us to continue to cook food and purify water, if necessary. Busy moms on the go should also be well-prepared for emergencies that might happen away from home. A well-equipped emergency bag or bin kept in the trunk of the car should contain items necessary for medical emergencies, weather-related emergencies (such as ponchos and an umbrella) and items to keep the kids occupied and fed. I have a list of these necessities on my blog, "Don't Leave Home Without It: The Vehicle 72-Hour Kit."
ml: Why is NOW the time to prepare?
LB: If not now, when? It's better to prepare when time is on your side and you can research, learn and plan. Too many people do their "preparing" in a panic right in the middle of a crisis when they aren't thinking clearly. Do you really want to be the woman in the news, looking at empty grocery-store shelves because she didn't think to stock up on water or diapers before the crisis hit?
If our economy continues to worsen, prices and the availability of goods will never be better than it is right now. Moms can use coupons and store sales to bag huge quantities of goods at bargain prices. That may not be as possible if we experience inflation or family incomes continue to decline. There's a lot of empowerment in being prepared.
ml: When an emergency happens, we will all have at least a few items on hand. Name a few household items that could have double uses in case of an emergency.
LB: A key to being prepared isn't just having stuff, it's having the know-how of what to do with the stuff! A gallon of vinegar, for example, has multiple uses -- but if you only know to use it for salad dressings, it isn't much help. So be sure to learn all the ways you can use whatever it is you stock up on. Most moms are crunched for three things: time, space and money. If you stock up on supplies with multiple uses, you come out ahead in all three categories.
- Vinegar uses: hair rinse; equal parts with water makes a great all-purpose cleaner; polish for chrome and stainless steel; dab on bug bites to make the "ouch" go away.
- Wheat berry uses: grind them to make your own healthy flour; soak them overnight to make a hot breakfast cereal; use them to make wheat sprouts, which add nutrients to salads and sandwiches.
- Baking soda uses: sprinkle dry on animal (or kid) pee spots on carpet, then vacuum up; mix with water to make toothpaste; mix with water to make an antacid drink; make a paste with water to put on bug bites and sunburn.
- Light stick uses (kids love these!): keep a few in your car to use for signaling in case of an emergency; have kids wear them around their necks after dark on camping or hiking trips; they're waterproof, so kids can even wear them when they're playing on the beach or by a lake after dark.
ml: What encouraged you to start "The Survival Mom" blog?
LB: I've always been intrigued with the idea of being self-reliant and prepared for anything. I've always kept a case of bottled water and blankets in my car, and TV series like "I Shouldn't Be Alive" keep me riveted to my TV! However, when our economy soured a couple of years ago, I began taking the idea of survival and preparedness more seriously. I began researching and learning more about food and water storage and the importance of becoming more self-reliant, but virtually every book and website I read was targeted to men. I was looking for ideas from a mom's point of view, and when I didn't find that, I began writing my own blog. I keep my blog articles short, since I know moms need their information in a fast and furious format, and I try to keep my advice practical and easy to follow. I stay away from paranoia, since that only serves to foster fear and panic. Who needs that? Moms want their families to be safe, sound and happy, and that's hard to accomplish if you're hyperventilating!
ml: You're a self-proclaimed "prepper." In a nutshell, what does that mean to you? Is it different from being a survivalist?
LB: Traditionally, survivalists were the people who chose lives of self-sufficiency, apart from most people. Preppers tend to be more like me: suburban or urban residents whose ties to the community make it difficult to pack up and move out into the wilderness. The goal of most preppers is to put plans into action that will allow their families to continue to live stable and secure lives, regardless of future events.
Katrina was a wake-up call to Americans -- at least to those who were paying attention. In a major emergency, you're on your own. That applies to both natural disasters (severe weather events) and our worsening economy. If no one can come to your rescue, what will you do? That's the question moms need to be asking themselves, and then coming up with a plan to protect their families. There's power in preparedness -- power and confidence. We can't prepare for absolutely everything -- no one can -- but when we are proactive, we're far less vulnerable and can rest easier, knowing we're ready for any number of emergencies.
ml: Most people find the task of collecting for emergencies daunting and expensive. What's an easy way to start, and how do you know you're done?
LB: It can be expensive if you try to do it all at once. Focus on small goals. You'll be surprised by how quickly these baby steps make a difference:
Baby Step #2: Stock up on enough water for a one-week emergency. Plan at least one gallon of water per day per person. I use clean two-liter soda bottles for most of my water storage. Fourteen of these bottles will be enough water for one person for one week. Buy an extra bottle of unscented bleach to use as a water purifier, if that ever becomes necessary. Just eight drops per gallon of water is necessary. Store an extra medicine dropper to make this easier.
Baby Step #3: Be ready for an evacuation. Wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and severe storms can all require fast evacuations. Pack one simple outfit per family member in an old duffle bag (or something similar) and keep it under a bed or in a closet. Include a toiletry bag with extra toothbrushes and toothpaste, deodorant, a bar of soap, feminine products, small bottles of shampoo and conditioner. Again, you probably already have most of this. If you have pets, decide now what you will do with them in case of an evacuation, and plan accordingly. I have more tips in my blog, "Organize Your Emergency Evacuation."
These three simple steps will get you started toward being ready for an emergency and being more prepared in general. Add to your supply of stored food and water, learn more about emergency evacuations and learn more about preparedness on my blog! As far as being "done" ... I'm not sure that concept exists among preppers! Being prepared isn't limited to a mother-of-all-shopping-trips or being ready for a single event.
ml: What are some survival must-haves that people might not have thought of?
- Keep a pair of comfortable walking shoes in your car. If you ever become stranded and have to walk a long distance, you'll thank me.
- Stash two or three small blankets under the backseat of your car. These have multiple uses: changing pads, privacy screens, a means to darken the car for nappers, picnic blankets, warmth, emergency towels and washcloths. I keep four Gymboree blankets in my car just for these uses.
- Keep a package of sanitary pads on hand for use as emergency wound dressings. They're sanitary and absorbent!
- A sanity kit: earplugs for mom, air freshener, activities and books to keep the kids busy, hard candies, a bottle of Motrin.
- Those big, black trash bags. Great for emergency ponchos or a shelter, ground cover, collecting water, shade cover.
- Bandanas: water filter, bandage, signaling device, use to tie on a splint, head covering, sanitary pad.
LB: Hey, have I accomplished nothing with my blog and all my hard work?! (Laughs) Getting prepared is a process. All of us preppers are on a journey. Some have been living this lifestyle their entire lives; others are just now figuring out that maybe the future isn't as secure as they once thought. I might be able to sneak a bucket of wheat out to you, but you'll have to take it from there.
People have called me "paranoid" for doing this kind of thing, but I totally beleive in it. I haven't got all of the things for my emergency box, but I add things as I can afford to. I've got about 6 months worth of toilet paper (it was on sale, why not?)…and previous stocking up on some medication has helped me out in the last few months. I totally agree with this article.
Still there is room for greater development and I would recommend more emphasis on research and of course it will bring a better situation. Thanks for sharing a nice read. Cheers
Article is very nicely written and I am happy to find so many useful information here in the post, thanks for sharing it here. I hope you will adding more.

As an employer, you understand the challenges of running a successful company. In
today's competitive economy it is critical to stay on the cutting edge in
all aspects of business to grow and thrive. One area that businesses need to focus
on are benefits.
An often misunderstood and overlooked component of a benefits offering is long term
care insurance. While many large corporations have already implemented long term
care benefits for employees, the vast majority of business owners have not.
At LTC Financial Partners, we believe that the most important element of proper
long term care planning is education. The Long Term Care Outreach and Education
Program™ (LTCOEP) was developed to provide employers of all sizes a turn-key
program to offer long term care insurance to executives and staff.

The Mi'kmaq are the founding people of Nova Scotia and remain the predominant Aboriginal group within the province. When the Mi'kmaq first encountered Europeans in the 16th and 17th centuries, their territory stretched from the southern portions of the Gaspé Peninsula eastward to most of modern-day New Brunswick, and all of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
This area was divided into seven smaller territories across what was known as Mi'kma'ki. Today, the Mi'kmaq live throughout the province. Nova Scotia has 13 Mi'kmaq First Nations with community populations ranging from 240 in the Annapolis Valley First Nation to 3,988 in the Eskasoni First Nation. In total, there are 13,518 registered Indians in Nova Scotia and of these, 4,752 live off-reserve. The Registered Indian population in Nova Scotia is represented through a series of 13 band councils and two tribal councils, the Confederacy of Mainland Mi'kmaq and the Union of Nova Scotia Indians. The Union of Nova Scotia Indians tribal council represents the five First Nation communities within Cape Breton (We'koqma'q, Wagmatcook, Membertou, Eskasoni, and Chapel Island First Nations) along with two First Nations located in mainland Nova Scotia (Indian Brook and Acadia First Nations). The remaining six communities are represented by the Confederacy of Mainland Mi'kmaq (Bear River, Annapolis Valley, Glooscap, Millbrook, Paq'tnkek, and Pictou Landing First Nations).
Other Aboriginal organizations include the Native Council of Nova Scotia which provides a range of services, primarily to Aboriginal people living off-reserve and the Native Women's Association which provides Aboriginal women with a voice in the social, cultural and economic development of the Aboriginal community.

Whitney Houston dead at 48
Whitney Houston, the Grammy Award-winning singer of such hits as I Wanna Dance With Somebody and I Will Always Love You, the latter of which was featured on the soundtrack for the film The Bodyguard (in which she also starred) and holds the record for best-selling single by a female artist, has died. She was 48 years old.
The cause of her death is as yet unconfirmed, her publicist Kristen Foster said.

Few hours ago I was told that one of my classmates is dead. So funny and kind guy, and now he's gone. It's so horrible to lose mates. Rest in peace, old friend. Guess, we will meet again, but (I hope) it will be much more later.

Bulls clinch semi-final spot
The Blue Bulls clinched the final spot in the Currie Cup semi-finals after a thrilling 50-29 win over the Golden Lions in Johannesburg on Saturday.
The Bulls will now face the Sharks in Durban in the semi-finals while the Lions will host Western Province.
The visitors' hero was much-maligned fly-half Morne Steyn, who scored 23 points via four penalties, four conversions and a drop goal.
Steyn gave a timely reminder to Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer of his ability and also impressed with his allround game.
The match was played at a frenetic pace as both teams showed a willingness to run from all areas of the field which made for an entertaining spectacle.
Steyn and Golden Lions pivot Butch James and his Bulls counterpart traded early penalties before the match came alive in the 14th minute when the home side's lock Michale Rhodes scored the first try of the match.
Rhodes had James and hooker Callie Visagie to thank as they launched a counter-attack from inside their own half before Visagie offloaded to the second-row who crashed over in the left-hand corner.
James converted to give his team a 13-3 lead but Steyn struck back soon after that with a drop-goal from about 35 metres out.
James added another penalty two minutes later but the Bulls' pivot was not to be outdone and added another two place-kicks to narrow the gap to 16-12.
The visitors took the lead for the first time in the 32nd minute when Bjorn Basson crossed over after Jacques Potgieter laid the groundwork to the try with a 50 metre run before offloading to the on-rushing Springbok flyer who scored in the corner.
Steyn converted and added a penalty on the stroke of half-time to give the visitors a 22-16 lead at half-time.
James drew his side level with two further penalties after the restart but Bulls' scrum-half Jano Vermaak regained the lead for his team with his side's second try shortly afterwards.
The Lions showed great determination and were on level terms again when Anthony Volmink exploited a gap in the Bulls defence to dot down under the posts in the 55th minute.
After that try the men from Pretoria took control of proceedings and scored 21 unanswered points through converted tries by number eight Arno Botha, captain Dewald Potgieter and right wing Akona Ndungane.
The scorers:
For Golden Lions:
Tries: Rhodes, Volmink
Cons: James 2
Pens: James 5
For Blue Bulls:
Tries: Basson, Vermaak, Botha, D Potgieter, Ndungane
Cons: Steyn 4, Fouchè
Pens: Steyn 4
Drop goal: Steyn
Golden Lions: 15 Ruan Combrinck, 14 Deon Helberg, 13 Deon van Rensburg, 12 Alwyn Hollenbach, 11 Anthony Volmink, 10 Butch James (c), 9 Ross Cronje, 8 Willie Britz, 7 Derick Minnie, 6 Jaco Kriel, 5 Ruan Botha, 4 Michael Rhodes, 3 Pat Cilliers, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 CJ van der Linde.

Twinlab - Chromic Fuel Chromium Picolinate - 100 Capsules
Twinlab Chromic Fuel contains chromium picolinate. Chromium is an essential mineral that your body needs in small amounts, but most people – 40% of women and 60% of men – aren't getting enough. Chromium picolinate, the form used in Chromic Fuel, is one of the most easily absorbed forms of Chromium. Chromium helps to regulate blood sugar, which controls hunger and cravings. Chromium also helps your body lose fat and preserve muscle. During a 72-day clinical trial, overweight and obese patients who were not on diets were split into three groups and given 400 mcg of Chromium Picolinate, 200 mcg of Chromium Picolinate, or a placebo. Those who took Chromium Picolinate lost an average of 4 pounds of body fat and gained an average of 1.4 pounds of muscle mass. Those who took the placebo experienced no change in body composition.
Chromic Fuel provides 200 mcg, the clinically effective dose, of Chromium Picolinate to your daily diet.
TwinlabTwinlab was created in 1968 when founder David Blechman leveraged his 20 years of expertise in the pharmaceutical industry to develop and market a liquid protein supplement. Working out of his family's garage, he and his wife named their developing business Twinlab, after the couple's two sets of twins. Sales soared, and in the 1980s, Twinlab branched out to a broader range of vitamins, minerals, herbs and teas.
In late 2003, ISI Brands Inc. acquired the Twinlab brand. Their mission is to combine a complete range of dietary supplements with knowledge from foremost experts in the nutrition field to help people of all ages lead happier, healthier lives.
Their brands include some of the most recognizable and trusted in the industry: Twinlab, Metabolife, Nature's Herbs, Alvita Teas, and Cole Water. They also provide private label and contract manufacturing expertise to some of the world's largest retailers.
They are a proud member of the local business community in American Fork, Utah, where they have located the 170,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility from which they manufacture, package and distribute over 1,000 premium quality capsule, tablet, powder, liquid, herbal and tea products.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - LSU's hospitals chief says employees of the public hospital system are quitting in higher numbers than expected as the Jindal administration and university leaders privatize management of many LSU-run facilities.
Frank Opelka, vice president for health affairs and medical education, said Friday he's concerned about the workforce drop because the not-for-profit corporations taking over operations of many of the university's hospitals need the employees to stay.
He told the LSU Board of Supervisors that he and the state health department are pressing to wrap up the privatization agreements for four south Louisiana hospitals quickly to stabilize the work force.
Employees of the university-run hospitals and clinics being privatized will face layoff and then have to reapply for their jobs with the private hospitals if they want to keep their positions.

You get be part of the Eastern Nazarene College family. A lot of opportunities in finding a job in campus, getting a tutor, or volunteering for fun! You would also…
I love ENC Summer Cap Program!…
I fell immediately in love with this school and absolutely pray that I am accepted here. I have nothing bad to say about ENC.Read More
ENC is the perfect balance between having a fun location, but still being conducive to learning and studying. We have access to fun activities such as the beach, movie theaters, Boston shops and museums, and local restaurants and hang out spots. Boston is a 10 minute T (local city transportation) ride away, and everything else a student could need is within walking distance. That being said, the actual campus is enough away from all the hub bub that students can still study and keep a strictly academic environment.Read More
It was a really friendly place. It's a good Christian college. Not everyone at Eastern Nazarene College is a Christian, but the professors are Christians and the college upholds Christian ideals and values. It was a lot quieter and, like I said friendly, compared to the other schools I visited.Read More
Did I enjoy being here? Of course. Otherwise I wouldn't have gone to E.N.C. and I wouldn't have stayed if I didn't. It had an incredible academic reputation in my field especially, it offered better financial aid than the other schools I applied and was accepted to, it was where I wanted it to be (Boston!), and it had the kind of Christian background I wanted.Read More
I absolutely love being at Eastern Nazarene College. I am a person who typically takes a long time to warm up to new situations, however, Eastern Nazarene is such an open, accepting environment, I felt comfortable being here within the first few days. I love attending this school and am very thankful for the opportunity to be here.Read More

Elasto-Gel Crutch Mate Gel Hand Grips
The gel hand grips were a relief for maybe a day. They are too thin and you start to get the same pain in your hands as before. Unless I was using them wrong, they were not comfortable to me. Maybe if they were thicker or were able to go around the original hand grip on the crutches, it may work better.1/9/2013 7:28 AMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)

Embracing the Thrift-Store Ethic: 18 Top Tips for Buying Used Clothes
Published on - December 14th, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
If the national media is any indication, more people are embracing the notion of buying used clothing from thrift stores and consignment shops. Last week, USA Today ran a story describing how secondhand stores are reaping the benefits of recession:
As Americans look for ways to cut spending, they are scooping up bargain clothes, accessories, toys and furniture once owned by someone else.
"We're sorry about the economic situation, … but it is a good time for our industry," says Adele Meyer, executive director of the National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops. Three-fourths of resale stores said they had higher sales in September and October, compared with the same period last year, according to the trade group. The average sales increase was about 35%.
According to the article, 70% of adults surveyed last summer say that buying used is now more socially acceptable than it was a decade ago. Buying used has always been socially acceptable to me. I got in the habit of shopping at thrift stores during high school. It was the only way I could afford to add to my wardrobe. For the past 20 years, buying used has been a natural part of my shopping routine.
Kris and I are fortunate that Portlanders generally embrace the thrift-store ethic, and that we live near a highway lined with used clothing shops. (It's actually more convenient for us to buy our clothes from thrift stores than any other source!) Here are some of our best tips for buying second-hand clothes:
- Set a budget. This is difficult at first — you don't know how much things cost. But eventually you'll be able to tell yourself, "I'm going spend $20 today". It becomes a game to see how much you can buy for $20.
- Discard your prejudices. Some people consider thrift stores and used clothing shops nasty dirty places. Some are. Most aren't. Explore your neighborhood. Find a shop or two that you like, and you'll be hooked.
- Go with a friend. It's good to have a second opinion. Your friend may have an eye for what looks good on you — and vice versa.
- Try things on. Sizes vary widely between manufacturers and even by eras. (Today's clothes have looser fits.) But go in knowing your general size and measurements. Note that some places don't have dressing rooms, so it's smart to wear a modest thin layer in case you need to strip down in the aisle.
- Examine each item thoroughly. It sucks to get home to find your new shirt has a hole in the pocket. Or that the slacks you thought were a steal actually have a broken zipper.
- Check washing instructions. You don't want to pay $3 for a silk blouse if you'll never dry-clean it.
- Use the tags as a guide to find quality brands you like, but don't limit yourself. Sometimes a brand you've never heard of can yield a favorite piece of clothing.
- Think layers. Maybe that shirt with a stain on the sleeve has a great collar for wearing under a sweater. For $3, you can afford to buy a single-purpose shirt.
- Use thrift stores as a way to diversify your wardrobe. Buy colors and styles on which you normally wouldn't spend much. Wear the new clothes a few times to see how you like them, and to gauge the reaction of others.
- Used clothing stores are great for certain accessories. Why pay $30 for a new belt in a department store when you can get a better belt in your size for just $2? I like to shop at second-hand stores for hats. (Nice hats.)
- Look for clothes new with tags. Sometimes unsold department store inventory finds its way to used clothing stores and thrift shops. You'll generally pay more for these items, but not much.
- If you won't wear it, don't buy it. You don't save money buying a $3 shirt if it just sits in your closet for two years.
- Wash clothes when you get them home.
- Watch for sales. Used clothing stores (and thrift stores) run periodic specials. Our favorite local store just ran a half-off sale. The local thrift stores often have specials on certain items.
- If you go to the same store often, ask when they rotate stock. Stores get new shipments regularly. Most also have extra stock in storage. If you become familiar with the owners, you might even ask them to keep an eye out for particular items.
- Take your time. At normal clothing shops, everything is neatly organized. Not so at most thrift stores. When thrifting, it's more important to be patient, to browse the racks methodically.
- If buying used clothes becomes a habit, institute a "one in-one out policy". Every time you bring home something new, get rid of something old. (Give it away, take it to a thrift store, or save it for a garage sale.)
- Have fun! Buying used clothing can save you money. It's also a fun way to kill a Saturday afternoon. At $3 an item, you can afford to be adventurous sometimes.
Another great thing about buying used is that you're free to experiment a little bit more. It doesn't hurt much to purchase a $5 cardigan sweater and then discover you're not the sort for cardigans. On a recent shopping trip, for example, Kris picked up this garish pair of pants:
Kris thinks the pants are pretty hilarious. I do, too, but not in the same way. But what's really surprising is the price tags. Check this out: these pants were originally priced at $288, but she picked them up for $8.99.
For many people, thrift stores offer an easy way to delve into frugal fashion. But most shops carry more than just clothes. If your budget is pinched, they're an excellent place to find furniture, to pick up kitchenware, and even to find inexpensive entertainment. A large part of my personal finance library has been purchased from the local Goodwill (for about $3 per book).
One of my best and most-frugal friends has a family budget of $150/year for clothing–they buy all thrift store goods, and they dress well.
If you like crafts, especially sewing, thrift store clothing are great for making pillow from sweaters, or using things like that pair of pants Kris found as an inset to an accent pillow or even a small window. I had a skirt I no longer wore, but liked the embroidery on it and turned it into a small curtain for a bathroom. you just have to learn to think outside the box!
Over the past few years (since I had kids and my body changed!), I've shopped only at thrift and consignment stores. Of course, I have my favorite one, and the owner keeps an eye out for the things I like.
I recently returned from a business trip, and received lots of compliments on one particular outfit. I realized that I'd spent $3.50 for the shirt and $3.00 for the skirt.
No one knows that my clothes cost so little, because they look great.
If you're afraid of the "thrift store atmosphere", try consignment stores first. They're more expensive, but they have better quality clothes. In Portland OR, it's possible to buy a complete, stylish wardrobe made of completely recylced clothes.
Do you want to sell those pants? If so, what size are they and what would you take for them? I freakin' LOVE them.
the Target across the street from the thrift store moves all their leftover clearance items and old holiday stuff over every other Thursday. Grab it at the thrift for 95% off.
Great post Unfortunately I don't find a lot of stuff in used clothing stores (I'm a very popular size, sadly), but you've inspired me to try again.
I love to hit the thrift stores at Halloween for costume ideas (and then donate the clothing after the event is over)
With regards to #15, some rotate/add continuously, so go often to get the best deals.
Your #1 could conflict with your #12.
#4 is called vanity sizing. It is just US sizes… that way people can keep saying that they're "just a size 12″ despite adding on the pounds.
I got a pair of Lucky brand jeans at a resale shop recently, half off, for $9. I splurged another $15 to have them professionally hemmed, and they are my favorite jeans EVER. They run a little big, but for that price, I'll gain a few pounds. Thrifting ROCKS!
I love thrift stores too! My favorite part is that I own lots of gap and American Eagle jeans (my fave brands), and they were only $5 a pair! Based on how much I wear them, they work out to about three cents per day of wearing or less.
I also agree that thrifting helps me take fashion risks. One of my favorite shirts is this cute, low cut number that I bought this summer for $2.50. I kept debating it and then finally said "heck, it's just $2.50 — if I don't like it, I'll just redonate it." I normally only wear really modest clothing, but I'm starting to think I might like to show off a little from time to time.
The best thrift stores are the ones in the upper-middle class neighborhoods. That way, you have people donating quality clothing (nice mall stuff), but it's not so fancy or expensive that it ends up being overpriced. I went to grad school at the University of Michigan, and the thrift store there had the best clothes ever. Plus, Thursday was 25% off for students, which helped my purchases. My best find ever was two Patagonia capilene shirts for $3 each. since it was a Thursday, I paid $2.25 each for shirts that normally run $40!
I have really realised through this recession that I will never buy clothes at full price again. Although the pickings are of course a bit slimmer, the savings are so worth it, and it has become a bit of a game for me. I have been eyeing some thrift stores but have not gone in yet, but I bought this week 5 really needed items from Target for $25. I committed myself only to the 75% off rack. One was a dress that had some ugly beading on the top, which I simply took off and now it looks like a $40 dress. Total retail it would have cost me $110.
I love thrift stores – I'm actually more likely to find clothes I like than in retail stores.
One thought on
6. Check washing instructions. You don't want to pay $3 for a silk blouse if you'll never dry-clean it.
Definitely check the label, but also consider whether it's worth buying as an experiment in regular washing.
I've bought several thrift-store items (including a cashmere sweater) that actually did just fine in the washing machine on the gentle cycle. They might not last as long as they would with dry-cleaning, but for $5 for an Ann Taylor sweater, I won't feel too bad if it only lasts five or seven years instead of a lifetime.
Most of these stores are run by non-profit organizations and the profits usually go to a good cause. I always check out the local thrift shops when I need something before I go look for the item new. Well, as long as the savings would be worth driving the extra distance.
Also, I would say that you must be careful not to buy more than you need at these stores. Since things are more affordable, it seems acceptable to buy more than you would otherwise. Try to stay away from this!
Thrift stores ROCK. I have been shopping thrift stores since I was a teenager as well and would rather spend an afternoon sifting through the racks than go to the mall. I have found a white men's Christian Dior evening dress shirt with french cuffs- brand new, tags still on- for $2. A designer 50′s/60′s cropped velvet trapeze jacket, silk lined (looks like something Jackie O would've worn) with 3/4 sleeves-$8. 1950′s black winklepicker stilettos, worn maybe once-$5. You cannot FIND some of this stuff anymore, much less buy it for the price of a fast food lunch. The thing I love is that this stuff was quality. Those stilettos lasted me years and years of weddings, parties, nights out at the clubs. They were built to last.
Great post. Check out my recent post on thrifts–my reasons include creating a sense of community across economic lines!
I've been a vintage shopper for years, which can actually end up costing more than retail, depending on what era and label you're looking for. To be honest, this new-found public awareness of the used market is aggravating to those of us used to cherry picking! :p
The part where often you can get really good quality for cheap is true — also for things like furniture.
When I was furnishing an apartment after college (being broke!), I was able to get really good furniture for Craigslist, estate sales and Goodwill, at the same price or cheaper for much lower quality items at Ikea. A solid oak dresser that costs $40 is a much better deal than a pressed-wood version at the same price.
I just dropped off 4 bags of clothes at goodwill. Most were brand new or only worn once. A few things were very high quality, designer labels in fact. No use keeping clothes you never wear, someone will find a great steal and be very happy. I'm happy for the write off. If you have a good eye for fashion you can create a fabulous wardrobe from thrift store finds. Bring your patience though, don't go in hungry or grouchy. Pawing through rack after rack can get tiring.
Kristi has a good point about washing. I know someone who used to sew custom clothes and she told me that a lot of "dry clean only" items can actually be hand washed and air dried. Her guess was that manufacturer's exercise a great deal of caution in their labels because people are often careless when it comes to caring for their clothes.
Besides, it's usually the dryer that kills things (especially near the end). Even washable clothes last longer if you hang them to dry instead.
Bigger cities have some phenomenal consignment stores. I've gotten some serious high-fashion items for a song: a $30 Nanette Lepore cocktail dress, a phenomenal pair of Theory dress pants for $15, splurged on some killer Prada heels (so very gently worn that their soles weren't even scuffed) for $79…
In Boston, Poor Little Rich Girl, The Closet, and Second Time Around are incredible–particularly for gals just starting their careers on a lowly staff assistant salary.
I have been a Value Village shopper here in Seattle since high school. The stores are huge and very organized. We try to go on Mondays as it is their 99 cent tag sale day (the day varies from store to store). Their clothes are tagged different colors depending on the week they come in. You can get really good deals on that day, especially if they priced the item way too high and no one was willing to buy it at the higher price. 50% off everything sales occur on most holidays as well.
I like being relaxed about my clothes – shrunk in the wash? Washed with unlike colors? Haven't worn in a year? If it only cost 99 cents it is easy to clean it from the closet.
This is really old news for me. I've been shopping at Thrift stores for years. If you want really good deals, try Garage Sales. Although it's a lucky find to hit one where someone in your size had similar tastes.
I've moved to a much poorer area and the thrift store prices are higher and the quality is worse. I really really miss good thrift stores.
One problem I've noticed doing it for years is, if your favorite thrift store doesn't have dressing rooms, you tend to buy the same styles and types because that's what you know looks good on you. To get out of your comfort zone and add some variety, you have to go a few places with dressing rooms. It takes a few years of thrift store shopping before you realize your closet is homogeneous.
One of my worries for this recession is that I've already cut my expenses so low that there is no where to go – I get a lot of my clothes from free boxes and clothes swap parties.
I second the point about the 'dry clean only' scam (also applies to 'hand wash only'). I am a very haphazard washer and the whole 'special wash' thing seems to be used pretty liberally on clothes. I have never dry cleaned a piece of clothing in my life, nor have I ever hand washed anything, and I have a bunch of dry clean/hand wash only stuff from thrift stores that has regular washed just fine.
Interesting secret. Most thrift stores have an area where they process their clothes, ie check the donations and put prices on them. This area is generally in the back.
At the better thrift stores you'll usually find ebay-ers (those who buy clothes and then resell them on ebay) waiting right outside this area for the new racks of clothes to come out. As soon as the racks of clothes come out from this back area the ebay-ers pounce. So if you want to get the absolutely best deals follow the ebay-ers
I also love buying books at secondhand stores! I never buy them full price but instead walk down the street to Goodwill, where I can generally pick up 5-7 books for less than the cost of one new one.
I also like to buy some housewares secondhand — things like ramekins that I need very occasionally and don't want to pay full price for. I picked up two great casserole dishes just prior to Thanksgiving for $5 each.
I've been frequenting thrift stores for years. I need someone to break in a t-shirt for 5-10 years before I'm ready to wear it so this works out for me. If you peruse the music section of these stores, you can always entertain yourself by checking out some of the old LP covers. There is some priceless stuff in there. Thanks for this great post!
I agree with shopping secondhand. Not only because it saves you money, but also it saves the environment and keeps little kids from being chained to sewing machines.
My girlfriend is putting together the plans to open a thrift store.
She also is thinking about starting a blog to chronicle her goal of not buying anything new only used.
It's not quite a thrift store, but my favorite place for used clothes is in Burbank and sells used wardrobe items from the movie/TV studios. Many of my favorite clothes made their first appearance in movies and soap operas, and the prices are fantastic!
Portlanders (and other West Coasters): Buffalo Exchange on W. Burnside is a great place for "recycled fashion." I have a goal not to purchase any clothes in 2009, but that's where I shopped this year with great savings on quality brands.
Two things:
1) I have better luck, actually, finding pants that fit at thrift stores, since different brands all fit so VERY differently (at least for Jeans, at least for me).
2) Here in Madison, WI, at least, we have three Goodwills. They send the best of the cloths they get in donations to one of the stores, best of the small appliances to another, and so on. So, keep an eye on your different thrift stores, some are better then others, when it comes to quality, even in the same city.
I know a couple who make a drive an hour and a half every two months or so to a much larger city, to delve it's thrift stores, and get what the "city-folk" are getting rid of.
This is an example of how value differs between people.
My entire family shops at thrift stores, but I HATE it. Although I admit to a slight prejudice against thrift store clothing, that's not my primary reason for refusing to do it. I prefer to drop $50 on a pair of jeans that I know will fit, that I know I'll like, and that I only have to spend 30 seconds locating versus searching for 30 minutes to find a pair of jeans that I'll have to convince myself actually fit comfortably.
I'm not a clothes horse by any stretch of the imagination, but shopping for new clothing is so much quicker and easier.
nice pants, though Kris should really wear trainers with them, not posh shoes – the combination will work much better.
Pieter, it may just be that you are much better at regular shopping and male. I don't know a single woman who has been able to find jeans that fit comfortably in thirty seconds more than once– and that once was me, going in to Sears with brand, cut, and tag number of the jeans that have since been discontinued. Last time I bought jeans, I spent hours in the store finding anything that I could convince myself fit.
My reasons for not thrifting aren't related to difficulty in finding clothes that fit; I assume that no stores ever have anything better than "well, it'll do" because mostly they don't. I just don't like shopping or unfamiliar situations.
I've always been more of a giver than buyer, and passed on lots of good quality, almost (or completely) new items to my local Salvation Army shop before I moved out to Greece. It was easier than doing all the work involved for eBay or garage sales, and I felt good about giving them money in this way.
I've never been a clothes buyer because if I found something I liked it never seemed to be in my size, and even a few dollars is money thrown away for something that doesn't fit.
Perhaps I am a snob here but I will not shop for clothing at thrift stores. Sure I'll go in and buy other stuff (Thrift stores are great for video games, CDs etc.) but I just can't get over the icky feeling of them being on someone else.
I do donate, though.
Thrift stores helped make my vintage videogame collection what it is today. Nothing like walking out with an Atari 2600 and some games.
I warmed to the idea of used clothing when I started to consign clothing last year, but I never, ever found anything that I like that also fits. One time I thought I had a big find–a Diane Von Furstenburg cashmere sweater for $25 in my size–only to find a tiny hole in the fabric once I tried it on. No matter how many times I gave it a shot, I couldn't find even one item. Just because something used to cost $300 and now costs $3, doesn't mean it's a good buy or right for you.
It's just too frustrating. I like things to fit perfectly; I even have most clothes tailored because I'm hard to fit, being petite but large busted. I hate shopping in stores…it makes me feel grouchy, tired, and impatient. I always shop with a purpose, and if I don't buy it online, I like shopping at Nordstrom, where the salespeople know their stuff, and I'm in and out. It's taken me so long to learn what will work for me that it's just more worthwhile to go buy exactly what I know will work.
Also, I don't want to add clothing into my closet that might work because it was only $2.50. I like my wardrobe streamlined, and I'm only willing to add pieces that really work within my wardrobe and fit perfectly. It just makes my life easier that way.
Sorry. $8.99 is still too much for those pants.
I'm with the small minority who appreciate the value of a thrift shop but HATE to shop there.
I have no patience to methodically go through all the racks. It's not enjoyable for me, and I see it as a waste of my time, regardless of the bargain.
I also don't do well at flea markets, rummage sales or any other disorganzied shopping experience.
Come to think of it, I don't do so well at regular retail shopping either.
Good thing I'm a jeans and sweatshirt type of person (and can wear those to work).
Winter came quick where I live and I needed some boots for my 2-1/2 year old. I couldn't find any for under $25. I wandered into our local consignment shop and found an LL Bean pair for $5. LOVE IT!
Since I was 12, I always had to buy my own clothes (other than uniforms), so I grew up shopping in thrift stores because it really made the most sense. I have always loved it!
I would add another tip on clothes shopping – look for the possibilities in things. If you can sew (even a little bit), you can take something and make it into something else. Pants to shorts – a long skirt to a mini skirt, a wool sweater into a felted purse. You can make yourself one-of-a-kind outfits. It is much cheaper than even buying that quality of fabric at the fabric store.
BTW, the big ones have great furniture too!
i never used to buy anything in thrift stores,but the situation has changed now,wat can we say,i lost my job and i need to adjust my budget and the christmas is on d way,wat to do,we need to change according to the changing environment.i depend completly on thrift stores for my shopping this time.one thing tat makes me happy is i can get more number of dresses in thrift store for the amount i spend on one pair.
One tip I didn't see here that I use all the time. Use a measuring tape to measure clothes that you already have that fit you well. Then when you go to the thrift store you can measure the clothes and narrow down the ones you try on.
I also agree that dry cleaning can often be replaced by handwashing.
My local thrift store is annoying though, they don't organize by size and they mostly have size 4 and under and size 18 and up. I'm a 10/12 and I have to go through a whole rack of clothes to find stuff. There's one quite a bit farther away that organizes by size and I love it, but I don't have a car so I have to convince someone to take me.
Yesterday my mom took my son though and I was able to spend 2 hours at my local thrift store and bought 20 items of clothing for $36 because they were having a half off sale. I was planning on buying my son clothes online for $68 and I found almost every item on my list plus some cute stuff for me.
I have tried thrift store clothes shopping & have no luck. The local thrift store sorts clothes by type (pants, shirts) and color, so you have to search & search & search for something in your size. This is also why I hate TJ Maxx. I have prices in my head of what I will & won't pay for clothes. So, even the consignment stores can be too pricey for me. I have better luck looking at sale racks in retail stores that I do like. I don't discern between brands or fabrics; if I like it & it looks good on me (and is a reasonable price), then I buy it. I don't really want a shirt to last 5 years; by that time it would probably be dated anyway (therefore, my non-discrimination of brands/fabrics really doesn't matter to me).
I could afford to buy pretty much anywhere short of true designers. I just don't care enough to do it- not to spend the money or buy the latest style. I love to watch "what not to wear"- but in the end- don't care. I tend to wear a "uniform" -it changes. Right now, it is black pants or skirts and various sweaters or jackets with a light top underneath. Recently at the thrift store, I got 2 black skirts- one Anne Klein and one Donna Karan- $3 and $4. I was just looking for size, color and a basic style- that they turned out to be Anne Klein and Donna Karan is probably because of the style and material I liked.
I need to get something formal(I won't know anyone at the event) and I plan to buy one of those beaded dresses that show up all the time at the thrift store. If most of the beading is intact and it fits- it is coming home with me. I can make minor repairs if needed and for $15 I will be suitable for the event.
Finally, for crafting- I buy wool sweaters when there are thrift store sales and felt them to make purses and animals.

I first wrote about what appeared to be an important market test for the Illinois market on August 13 (click here to see the post). The sale involved 1,600 acres of high-quality farmland located in three tracts. There was 733 acres south of Danville, in Vermillion County; 380 acres on the edge of Granite City in Madison County; and 487 acres near Litchfield in Montgomery County. All three locations featured access to two rail lines, interestate highways and flat, black soils. The three parcels had been assembled by VeraSun Energy Corp., which has since moved into bankruptcy.
The sale, conducted by Schrader Real Estate & Auction Company of Columbia City, Ind., was held Thursday, September 9. The final tally was $10,492,610.
"There was a lot of interest in this sale, not only among those seeking to buy the land, but among those who saw it as a test of the strength we've continued to see in the market for tillable farmland. Even with approximately 1,600 acres selling in one day, the market absorbed it nicely," said company president Rex Schrader.
The sale included:
The land in Montgomery and Madison counties sold in a morning session in Staunton, Ill. The Vermilion land sold in an evening session near Covington, Ind.
In addition to Thursday's auction, on Wednesday September 9, 198 acres near Danvers (west of Bloomington) in McLean County was auctioned by Soy Capital Ag Services, Bloomington. Tract 1 consisting of 77.6 acres and a Productivity Index of 143 (maximum 147) brought $7,500 an acre. Tract 2, 80 acres and a PI of 133.8 brought $6,800 an acre. Tract 3, consisting of 40 acres and a farmstead with older buildings and a PI of 130.2, brought $6,800 an acre. All three tracts were purchased by local farm families.
