100% American Made Quality Since 1987
Diamond Gusset jean Company was founded in 1987 to develop an entirely new jean concept utilizing a gusset for extra durability and enhanced comfort.
Since that time, we've seen many changes in the apparel industry, and by most accounts we should have disappeared along with many other companies that have struggled so hard to survive in this global economy. But instead of survive, we are actually growing stronger now more than ever, and while most companies have gone offshore, merged, or have been totally eliminated, we've managed to grow on our foundations. Those foundations are simple….we provide the most comfortable jean available while keeping one eye on history and the other on careful craftsmanship and continual improvement. This combination of tradition and innovation is one key why our customers are our best supporters of brand growth by continually providing vital " word of mouth " advertising for us.
Peoples needs really haven't changed that much, but it seems that while other companies seem to be chasing dollars, we have remained focused on the goal….THE PRODUCT, and besides, what's the point in running a company if you can't be proud of how you operate? We were taught long ago that if you mind your business well, and provide a great AMERICAN product, then the rest will follow…and you know, life is too short as it is…so why compromise? We don't and we don't think you should either.
Our vow to stay 100% American Made has struck a nerve with the American psyche. It is a great feeling to walk into our production facility and see all the happy smiles and feel a sense purpose knowing we are part of the solution America is now facing.

Demi Lovato IS Hosting The TCA'S 2012 She Tweeted Abou it And If you Go to the Offical TCA'S Then you'll see demi on the first page and the Tittle Says "Demi Lovato To Host Teen Choice Awards 2012" So Yea Demi Lovato IS Hosting TCA'S 2012, and I am So Happy for her She IS going to ROCK THAT STAGE !!!! Best TCA'S EVER!!
This is no where near official just because EW may have posted what others have been speculating. There is no official word yet from Teen Choice Awards Twitter, on their website or via any press releases.
Wait for official word from the true source before jumping to conclusions. Because a news site is large and maybe respected doesn't mean everything they print is accurate

The market for new issues of municipal bonds: The roles of transparency and limited access to retail investors
I examine how transparency and interdealer trading affects prices investors pay in municipal bond offerings. Real-time trade reporting for municipal bonds started January 31, 2005. The dispersion of purchase prices fell sharply at that time. There was little impact on average markups for most trades, but they increased for purchases of more than $100,000. Bonds often pass through a series of dealers before being placed with a buy-and-hold investor. As the interdealer trades progress, trade sizes decline and trade prices rise. Markups on investor purchases increase with the amount of interdealer trading before the trade.Download Info

I remember one night, I was on youtube looking up music. I put in "Chris Brown- With You", your video came up as a suggestion. I knew of you but didn't know much about you. So I clicked on the video and heard this angel voice and saw your luscious hair. I watched more and more, as I watched each one I started to fall in love with you and your music. I knew right away I was going to be a great fan of yours. That was in 2009 and it is now 2013. I have been supporting and loving you for all these years and will be until the end of time. I love and hope to be able to meet you one day.

His musical talents, skills, humility and compassion paved his way to what he is now. Your fans will always be here for you.

WILW and OHP: Travel Edition
Linking up today with This Kind of Love and The Vintage Apple for What I'm Loving Wednesday and Oh, How Pinteresting!
As we prepare to leave for our vacation soon, I am loving some travel themed stuff this week!
First off, I'm loving this Rue-ism from Rue La La. I am THE WORST when it comes to overpacking. On my work trip to Vegas, I was over the suitcase weight on the way there! Luckily, on the cruise there is no weight limit! So I'll be taking this advice....
I'm loving this underwater iPhone case I got for Christmas! Can't wait to take pictures of fish while snorkeling on my phone! Too cool!
I'm loving this ikat high-low dress from Target I got! I LOVE the lime zipper trim (although Tyler thinks that part is weird). Super cute!
I'm also loving that we are going to try and book the Chef's Table on the cruise. It's a bit pricey, but you get a galley tour, and special 7 course meal prepared by the chef! We are foodies at heart (and I've always wanted to do a galley tour!) so I think we are going to splurge on this! Eeek!
And now for some pins I'm loving...
These cart baskets are AWESOME! I really want to buy some.
Story of my life...
I want some of these princess shirts in my size!
And how cool is this idea? Cover your fridge shelves with Press n Peel wrap to keep them clean? LOVE it!
What are you loving today?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Google last week removed some language in its Chrome browser's terms of service that gave the company a license to any material displayed in the browser, but that language remains in several other Google products, including its Picasa photo service and its Blogger service.
The language came from Google's universal terms of service, the default license agreement for Google products.
The provision in the license agreement states that Google users retain the copyright to the content they post into a Google product, but then says, "By submitting, posting or displaying the content you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display."
Similar language exists in terms of service for Picasa, Blogger, Google Docs and Google Groups. It does not exist in Gmail and no longer exists in Chrome.
The provisions raise security as well as privacy questions, said Randy Abrams, director of technical education at Eset, a cybersecurity vendor. "I wouldn't do anything that was personally sensitive or security-sensitive with most any Google product," he said.
Google removed the language from Chrome one day after launching the browser, following an outcry about the copyright implications of it asserting a license for everything posted or displayed in the browser. In some cases, Google needs the license to display content, Mike Yang, Google's senior product counsel, said in a blog post.
"To be clear: our terms do not claim ownership of your content -- what you create is yours and remains yours," Yang wrote. "But in lawyer-speak, we need to ask for a 'license' (which basically means your permission) to display this content to the wider world when that's what you intend."
Several critics questioned whether that language was appropriate in other applications provided by Google.
Google seems to be going in two different directions with these licensing terms, Abrams said. "One thing is to abide by their 'do no evil' creed, but also claim as many rights as possible," he said. "This is a typical corporate response: Try to get as much as you can and back off if forced to."
Yang also noted that similar language exists in the terms of service at several Web sites, including Amazon.com, eBay and Facebook. And the next sentence in that copyright provision limits what Google could do with a picture posted on the Picasa service or a blog post in Blogger, he said. It reads as follows: "This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling Google to display, distribute and promote the Services and may be revoked for certain Services as defined in the Additional Terms of those Services."
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Rodgers 'Not Stressing' About New Contract
From GreenBayPressGazette.com
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — If Aaron Rodgers has his way, he would like to play quarterback for the Green Bay Packers through at least the 2020 season, and maybe beyond. "I've had eight great years there, the last five as a starter," Rodgers said of his career in Green Bay. "Hopefully I can give them another eight plus years of playing at a high level."

Tom Cruise In Latest Jack Reacher Poster
Tom Cruise In Latest Jack Reacher Poster
Download Taken 2 Movie. Like it or not, Tom Cruise will play Lee Child�s wandering hero, Jack Reacher, in a self-titled thriller reaching theaters this December. Since it was announced that Cruise would assume the role, I�ve been plucking Child�s books off the library shelf and devouring them at will. Watch Resident Evil Retribution online. And I have to agree with the masses who initially balked that Cruise was an odd selection for Reacher (for various reasons). The new poster, while adequate, isn�t doing a lot to sway my opinion back toward the favorable side.
Watch Taken 2 Online. That could be Ethan Hunt, Cruise�s Mission: Impossible hero, in that photo. Or any number of action characters Cruise plays. That doesn�t mean he won�t be fine as Reacher, or that people unfamiliar with Child�s books won�t think Jack Reacher is a wonderful film. Download PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4 Movie. They still might. But the Reacher character is supposed to be a bear of a man who physically dominates his opponents, can outmatch their wits, is an expert in all fields of weaponry and fighting � he�s the prototypical bad-ass. Cruise can play that part. I just wish it wasn�t specifically Jack Reacher. Watch War Of The Buttons Online. According to The New York Times, Alcon Entertainment-- which is based at Warner Bros.-- is picking up the film rights to Memphis, the musical that won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2010. Watch Special Forces Online. Joe DiPietro, who wrote the book for ht musical and co-wrote the lyrics with David Bryan, will write the screenplay, adapting the story about a white DJ who makes waves by playing black music on the radio in segregated 1950s Memphis.
Watch Smiley Online. Still, Child gave Cruise his blessing to step into this adaptation of the novel One Shot. And Cruise lured Christopher McQuarrie back behind the camera for the first time since 2000�s The Way of the Gun (though he wrote the screenplays for such memorable films as The Usual Suspects, Valkyrie and The Tourist over the years). Watch Frankie Go Boom Online. There�s talent on display in Reacher. Let�s hope it translates into a winning film. The Comedy premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to some strongly positive reviews, though as you might guess for a movie about a deeply unlikable character, it got some mixed responses as well. Watch Here Comes The Boom Online. Joining Heidecker in the film is his Tim & Eric co-star Eric Wareheim, as well as, of all people LCD Soundsytem frontman James Murphy. Check out the film's official synopsis below, and catch The Comedy on VOD starting October 24, and in limited theaters November 9. In this exclusive red band clip from The Comedy, you can see Heidecker's character Swanson doing some fairly effective flirting in a bar-- though the fact that he's flirting by talking about Hitler might indicate how this guy could use some more normal conversational skills.

Hello and thank you for taking time to look at my listing! I am a career military officer originally from Austin, Texas finishing my last few years in the service here in the DC area. I hope you enjoy your time visiting our nation's capital, and if there is anything I can do to assist, please let me know!
I purchased this home when I moved to DC in October of 2006 and immediately began a complete remodel of the entire dwelling. My intent was to live in rather than rent the house, but a year and a half later when the remodel was finally complete, my basement apartment tenant decided to move out and next thing I knew, I had moved into the basement and began remodeling it as well. It was at that time I began renting the main house (with all my belongings in it!) to longer term transient renters. Only after discovering VRBO in 2009 did I realize how great my house would be for people wanting to visit Washington DC while on vacation. Since then I've continued to offer the main house to people wanting a great house in an ideal location for seeing our nation's capital.
No expense was spared in remodeling and furnishing this house. You will be staying in an historic home complete with modern amenities. Location-wise, everything you need (restaurants, groceries, shopping, Metro) is within 2 blocks and everything you want to see (Capitol, Library of Congress, National Mall, Smithsonian museums) is just a few blocks further and within easy walking distance. Live amongst the locals and truly feel at home during your visit!

jessica - Unregistered May 27, 2012 9:04 PM Hmmm, Takuma Sato seemed to be saying in his post-race interview (reading between the lines) that Franchitti DID NOT move over and that's what caused him to go over the white line and crash. Franchitti himself referred to a "grey area" in the new rules about defending your position. 10 agree 1 disagree

We decided not to go back through Silver City to get out of the Gila Mountains, and took highway 35 about halfway down the mountain which would take us north and east eventually leading to interstate 25.

A tough day even if relatively short at 68 miles. It was cold anyway and the wind chill was considerable (equivalent to 34F / 2C). A day to keep moving. One of our fellow riders said it was "the most miserable day he had ever spent on a bike". Being from the UK we don't think it was that bad but, as well as the cold, there were strong, gusty winds …

I'm wondering if there is a way for you to write to some of those sites, thank them for the link, and literally request that they remove the nofollow -- perhaps only 1 in 3 would do that, but at least that's something. .........................
The problem for me is that nearly all of these links have a nofollow tag.
Why do you think that is the case -- are these webmasters generally confused about nofollow, so they are erring on the side of caution and thus defining it for all links?

As we wait for the August 11 table games vote in Kanawha County, some people are looking to Saturday night's referendum vote as a predictor to what might happen at Tri-State Gaming in Nitro.
On Sunday morning, a sign went up in Dunbar, advertising the new date Kanawha County voters will make their decisions on table games.
In two counties, voters already made their choices. Table games are coming to Ohio County, but Jefferson County voters decided against it.
"You had two different things going on here, one which was a growth issue with Wheeling because they needed the jobs and they needed the growth," said Mayor Danny Jones. "And over in Jefferson County, they didn't need the jobs and they didn't need the growth."
The West Virginia Family foundation says, "We believe when people are informed and educated about the harm and threat gambling poses to their families and their communities. They're empowered to meet that threat."
The people who live in Hancock and Kanawha counties still have some time to make up their minds. It's a decision voters in Kanawha say won't be influenced by the results of any other county.
It's a vote for or against that will be decided individually inside the voting booth.
The vote in Kanawha County will be on August 11th. Voters in Hancock County will head to the polls on June 30.

yes, I did mean to use 35mm film - but my main concern was the cost/difficulty of developing the medium format, and friends in the area have convinced me it's not too bad. Can you go back and forth, or can you have only one or the other after you modify it? May 3, 2010 |
yes you can go back and forth. there are actually masks that you can buy to conveniently shoot using the 35mm format. but even without that add-on you can still use 35mm film. it is quite a process to temporarily modify it (you'll be using tape, sponge, etc it is going to be very home made), but it should be fun
May 4, 2010 |
I know? But a low ASA such as 100 won't give grainy results, at all. May 4, 2010 |
hmm, i'll post some here that I haven't posted anywhere else online... May 4, 2010 |
LOOKBOOKERS - i am about to buy my first lomo. should i get a diana mini (sans flash), a diana f+ (sans flash), or a different camera? i just want to take really beautiful pictures and i want the camera to cost less than $70 May 4, 2010 |
can anybody advise me a good lomography cameras, is the Diana good - because i asked my art teacher and she said that they are quite prone to damage. But I think lomo cameras take beautiful shots. May 8, 2010 |
From an actual photographer's perspective, lomo and holgas are shit quality and I wouldn't buy them for even half their price. They're plastic and the lenses are rubbish. You can easily get a used film camera like the Olympus Trip 35 for a mere fraction of the price. Comes in a sturdy metal body and has a 4 element glass lens. But of course dem hipsters want to pay for that 'lomo' brand so they can be c00l!! May 8, 2010 |
ahh i love looking at everyones photo but they make me want to buy my own! :) May 12, 2010 |
i love the fish eye photos here :D nice and summery May 12, 2010 |
:D hey thank you!
May 12, 2010 |
I love Polaroid, and I got several lomo cameras too. May 14, 2010 |
this is absolutely untrue and unfounded.
May 17, 2010 |
"some of the poineers". I'm guessing you mean that they used film. How long ago was that?
May 17, 2010 |
my problem with your comment was "shit quality" because it's pretty subjective.
May 17, 2010 |
Unless you are talking about the affordability, durability and weight, pure plastic lenses have no real advantage over glass, especially in image quality. That isn't subjective, it's fact. Think Canon's L series that are all glass; they're not cheap because they are produce pin sharp images compared to composite glass-plastic lenses. I am stating that lomos are highly priced because of the whole "cult" that they radiate, and that they don't produce what professionals would consider higher quality than any old film camera such as the Olympus Trip that can be bought for a mere fraction of the price, nevermind digital. Pretty much all professionals nowadays shoot digital, unless requested otherwise. May 17, 2010 |
advantage? who's speaking on advantage? i'm not. image quality is glass all the way, but that's a given. not every shoot, professional or otherwise calls for crystal clear shots, in fact, many don't -- if you're shooting product that's a different story.
May 17, 2010 |
Could you tell me what shoots call for shots that favour non-"crystal clear" results? Because I honestly can't think of any.
May 17, 2010 |
movement to 35mm - photographers who shoot 35mm for major ad campaigns
May 17, 2010 |
All of them use equipment that produce results that are pretty crystal clear, especially compared to lomos. These plus any others who stick to 35mm film (lomo opts for the lower grade 110 film variation I think?) are hardly "many" as you stated before. In fact in that very Youtube video, the narrator states "your typical fashion photographer might use a large format film camera, worth thousands of dollars, however Terry Richardson is not your typical fashion photographer". His name is similar to lomo, not top quality, but a good name. It's not good practice for an amateur photographer like myself to hope to become these 'one-offs'. May 17, 2010 |
i'm sad that you feel that way about your chances in photography.
May 17, 2010 |
That's very fortunate of you, but the idea of the photographer I hope to become is a little different.

i have a holga fisheye and an actionsampler (which unfortunately i have yet to use) and i love them, they're just for fun not really photography (I have my nikon dslr for that!) but i really enjoy using them :) as for this snobbery about how they're not "real cameras" - they take pictures, don't they? therefore what else are they but cameras! for most people photography is a hobby and hobbies are meant to be fun, therefore if you find using 'toy cameras' fun then go ahead and use them, i think they're great. also, i really really want the new lomo panoramic 360 degree spinner, it looks incredible July 26, 2010 |

Did you take these using the lomo instant back ? I have some film from my Diana+ flash that I found out I have nowhere to develop... so I'm wondering if it would be worth it to buy the instant back and the instax mini film, or if I should just sell my Diana since I can't develop it (which makes me very sad!) .

Providing the oven is undamaged, door seals are in good condition and interlocks are working the use of microwave ovens is a low risk activity and regular radiation emission measurement is not necessary. Ovens should be cleaned on a daily basis to prevent build up of spillages. Routine checks should be made to: Identify damage to the inner walls and door seals Make sure the doors close properly and are not misaligned or warped Make sure hinges and door latches are not broken or loose Make sure the door closes properly and the oven switches off when it is opened.

Wells said WVU was given 2,386 tickets for $75, 1,000 for $110, 1,440 for $120, 1,582 for $155, 3,616 for $165 and 2,704 for $225. Wells said WVU students can buy tickets for $110 in the lower level in the end zone. More than 100 have already been sold.
Both WVU and Clemson received 17,500 tickets and can't return any to the bowl. Both schools are responsible for the cost of unsold tickets. When the Mountaineers played Oklahoma in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl, the athletic department had to absorb more than $1 million in unsold tickets.
The allotment includes tickets for the WVU marching band, traveling party and friends and family of players.
WVU, which gets $2 million from the Big East for a BCS bid and about $2 million to cover travel, is trying to avoid a similar debt this time. Tickets can be purchased through the school at 1-800-WVUGAME or at WVUGAME.com.
"The important thing is we encourage all Mountaineer fans who want to attend the game to buy their tickets through the Mountaineer Ticket office," Wells said. "It certainly helps the program from a financial standpoint and also helps us from a reputation standpoint given conference realignment and going to a new conference in the future.
"There will be new bowl games we'll be affiliated with in the Big 12 and Mountaineer fans are known as a group that travels well and supports that team. If we can show that again this year, that's one more feather in our cap as we move to the Big 12."

Valentine's Day: Fanning or Finding Love at an Art Museum
Art museums make me feel amorous. It's true. A walk through rooms filled with paintings, particularly if they're from the Impressionism art movement, soften me right up. The sounds of shoes on marble or wood floors, the polite guards making sure people don't get too close to the artwork, the creativity and genius of human beings in an outpouring of color and images. Yum!
Evidently, I'm not alone in my mushiness. According to a survey done by the 24 Hour Museum in the United Kingdom, 65% of the respondents said they would take a person to an art museum to make a favorable impression. (Hmm. impression. Impressionism. Is there a connection here?) Some (20%) said they had fallen in love in a museum. Was it in front of a Renoir, I wonder?
In this one research article I came across by Courtney Spousta, she points out that in the movie Play It Again Sam, Woody Allen's character goes to the Modern Art Museum in NYC looking for love. Throughout the article, she cites examples of how certain nights at art museums are geared to help people mix and mingle. At the Milwaukee Art Museum there are even speed dating events. The last one was on February 2, it seems.
This month there are some art museums I came across that are capitalizing on the romance and love theme.
- The Cincinnati Art Museum is dishing up some romance with "A Night Out with Your Valentine." On Valentine's Day you can enjoy a dinner, music, plays and art for a special occasion happening.
- In Falmouth, Cape Cod at the Cotuit Center for the Arts you can "Buy your Love a Little Art" at this art exhibit of renowned local artists.
- At the Huntington Museum of Art in Huntington, WV there is currently an exhibit called A Romance with the Landscape: Realism to Impressionism
- At the Milwaukee Art Museum, even though the speed dating party is not happening on Valentine's Day, there is the Valetine's Day Date Candlelight Dinner.
If you do head to a museum with that special someone or you're out looking for that special someone at an art museum, it wouldn't hurt to read "Cupid on the prowl" by Mary Louise Schumacher. She gives some tips on what to say to impress particular types of people and what not to say.
Oh, and the most romantic art museum in London according the the 24 Hour Museum survey? It's the Victoria and Albert.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial Walking Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
The city is beautiful with lots to do hotel was fab and idealy situated
Superb tour, made all the more fascinating by our guide Ryan, who could not have been more knowledgeable and passionate. A must do trip for any visit to Berlin, and fantastic value for money.
Very sobering tour, full of historical importance. Ryan our tour guide certainly knew his stuff and made this tour a very memorable experience.
Our guide Johnny was really good and explained things to us whilst travelling on the train as well as when we were there. We also had some free time at the memorial to look at the museum which was very interesting. Highly recommend this tour
this was absolutely fantastic
A great value tour, with really interesting genuine enthusiast guide who new the history, the background and context throughout this grim period, Highly recommend this tour to you all, Could have stayed even longer but over 5 hours..wow!
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. it was very emotional, but i'm glad we did it.
We were so impressed this carefully organized tour and particularly with the very knowledgeable tour guide, a Scottish Ph.D. student, who was rated by the 17 year old friend of my son who is from New York as "the best tour guide I have ever seen".
Somber. One of those where your not enjoyable and happy to be there, but very informative and amazing to be there firsthand. Guide was great. To test if you can handle this tour, I recommend watching a documentary on the holocaust and if your able to get through it ok, then this is a must
The guide was well versed and very professional in her explanations and description of the site and the history behind the camp. It was a very emotional experience for the group - quite diversified.
Absolutely intriguing tour. David our guide was fantastic as we experienced this memorial tour. Be aware though there is a lot of walking involved.
This tour was very well organized and our guide Carlos relayed a plethora of information about both Sachsenhausen and Berlin that I would not have learned otherwise.
The tour was quite informative and very moving. Our tour guide Finn was superb both his knowledge and respectful description of the history and current political climate. The tour was well organized and well worth the price. I highly recommend it!
Our guide, Ashley, made the trip especially memorable. Her ability to convey with dignity and respect the horrors of the camp were astonishingly appropriate.
A sad, but necessary, experience.
This was an amazing tour. We had a tour guide called Ashleigh and she really brought the camp to life for us, which was sad, of course, but gave us a much greater appreciation for the suffering of others and also a much greater appreciation how lucky we are in our own lives. It felt weird having lunch there, when you thought of how many people had starved to death and also I felt uncomfortable with the people taking happy snaps because it felt a little disrespectful, but to each their own. For us, this wasn't a tourist destination. It is a memorial and a lot of thought and consideration has gone into making sure the exhibitions are appropriate and inclusive, which is fabulous. It was throughly worthwhile. We are very glad we did it. I feel richer for the experience. Ashleigh had extensive knowledge and understanding of the camp and its operations, as well as the regime in itself and camps further afield, which was very enlightening. She also recommended a book by Pindera, a Polish prisoner of the camp, which can be bought at the book shop. It was an incredible read.
Very informative, the guide was very knowledgeable with just the right amount of humour for the subject matter. This is a must!
