NASHVILLE (BP) -- Liberal California governor Jerry Brown has vetoed legislation that would have lifted a ban on payments to egg donors for research purposes.
In rejecting the bill Aug. 13, Brown, a Democrat, expressed concerns about the potential risks to women who undergo invasive techniques for their eggs to be harvested.
"Not everything in life is for sale nor should it be," Brown said in his veto message.
"In medical procedures of this kind, genuinely informed consent is difficult because the long-term risks are not adequately known," he wrote. "Putting thousands of dollars on the table only compounds the problem."
Brown said he saw no "sufficient reason" to reverse the state legislature's nearly unanimous decision six years before to ban payments by research organizations for donated eggs.
The Center for Bioethics and Culture (CBC), a California-based organization that has led opposition to egg donation for a decade, applauded Brown's veto.
"[T]his veto is especially encouraging to us," CBC President Jennifer Lahl said. "We commend [Brown] for his leadership on the bill."
CBC and other opponents have warned against egg donation because of its commodification of women and their eggs, as well as the coercion of women and risks to donors' health that are involved.
Women must receive injections of a strong drug to undergo ovarian hyperstimulation before donating their eggs. The eggs are extracted by a 12-inch needle inserted into each ovary. Among the possible risks for donors are ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), infertility and kidney disease, critics say. The effects of OHSS can vary from abdominal pain and swelling to, in rare cases, blood clots, kidney failure, shock and death.
U.S. birth rate remains at record lows
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the birthrate in the United States is at a record low of 63.2 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age. The birthrate began to decline at the beginning of the recession of 2008.
Though the recession technically ended in 2009, the birthrate has not yet rebounded, perhaps due to a still sluggish economy. The 2012 numbers, which remained virtually the same as 2011, indicate the drop may have leveled off, according to D'Vera Cohn, senior writer at Pew Research Center quoted in an MSN News report.
"Research has shown that when economic times are bad, fertility rates are down," Cohn told MSN. "When the economy improves, we've seen the fertility rate rise again as women have the children that they didn't have during more difficult economic times."
Other experts say it's too soon to tell if the current low rate is a result of the recession or of changing demographics and social trends, such as women waiting longer to have children.
Georgia halts funds for state employee abortions
The Georgia government has freed its residents from having to pay for state employees' abortions.
The Department of Community Health (DCH) voted 5-3 to prohibit insurance coverage of abortion for state workers except in the case of a threat to the mother's life, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The Aug. 8 vote reversed a policy that provided payment for abortion as it does for other surgeries.
Gov. Nathan Deal, a Republican, urged the panel to take the action. According to The Journal-Constitution, Deal said the vote "shows our state's commitment to reducing the number of abortions in our state by ensuring that state taxpayers aren't paying for a procedure that many find morally objectionable."
Dan Becker, Georgia Right to Life's president, expressed gratitude for Deal's "follow through on this important issue. His willingness to stand up for innocent life should serve as an example to others in Georgia government."
State employees had 366 surgical abortions and 47 chemical, or drug-caused, abortions in 2011, according to Georgia Right to Life. The cost was almost $223,000.
The state provides coverage for about 650,000 workers, retirees and family members, The Journal-Constitution reported. State funds pay for about 75 percent of the insurance coverage for state employees.
The new policy will take effect Jan. 1.
Judge invalidates city's action against mobile pregnancy unit
A federal court has ruled the city of Elgin, Ill., acted unconstitutionally in shutting down a mobile pregnancy help center.
Federal judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan issued a permanent injunction Aug. 8 against a 2012 amendment to the city's zoning code that effectively prevented Life Center from operating its mobile unit more than four times a year at each of two locations. The City Council of Elgin, which is located 35 miles northwest of Chicago, changed the zoning code to classify the mobile facility for "temporary land use," according to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which represents Life Center in the case.
The new injunction means Life Center may again park its mobile pregnancy help center at Evangelical Covenant Church and JB's Pub & Bar. Both are located near Elgin Larkin High School. The mobile unit provides free ultrasounds, pregnancy information and services.
"Women deserve access to the help they need for themselves and their unborn children without undue interference from the government," ADF Senior Counsel Steven Aden said.
"Life Center's free services help both the city and its citizens, so the city's actions have been both counterproductive and unconstitutional."
Life Center operates the mobile unit under the name TLC Pregnancy Services.
Judge shuts down Birmingham abortion clinic
An Alabama judge has shut down a Birmingham, Ala., abortion clinic.
Jefferson County Circuit Judge Joseph Boohaker agreed with the Alabama Department of Public Health Aug. 8 by ruling the New Woman All Women clinic is an abortion center, not a doctor's office, The Birmingham News reported. Boohaker's permanent injunction means owner Diane Derzis and abortion doctor Bruce Norman may no longer operate the clinic.
It is not the first time the clinic has been shut down, but it appears the action will be permanent this time.
The New Woman All Women clinic lost its license to operate in 2012 after the state Department of Public Health found it violated multiple health and safety rules.
Operation Rescue is "pleased with the fact that Derzis and Norman were finally caught red-handed operating outside the law," said Troy Newman, the pro-life, watchdog organization's president. "We are thankful that women will now be protected by the permanent injunction on Derzis and Norman. We hope this will be the end of their schemes to evade the laws."
Third Circuit Court rejects request by pro-family business
The full Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia denied Aug. 14 a request by a Pennsylvania family business to consider its suit against the Obama administration's abortion/contraception mandate.
The Hahns, a Mennonite family that owns Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp., appealed to the full Third Circuit after a divided, three-judge panel of the court denied July 26 their request for a preliminary injunction to block enforcement of the controversial rule. The mandate requires employers to pay for health insurance coverage of contraceptives, including ones that can cause abortions. The Hahns object to the mandate because they believe life begins at conception.
The three-judge panel ruled "for-profit, secular organizations cannot engage in religious exercise." The Third Circuit's opinion conflicts with one issued in June by the 10th Circuit, which ruled corporations "can be 'persons' exercising religion" under federal law.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing the Hahns, said it would appeal to the Supreme Court. The split decisions at the appeals court level increase the likelihood the high court will grant a review in one of the cases.

In order to avoid plagiarism, you must give credit when
- You use another person's ideas, opinions, or theories.
- You use facts, statistics, graphics, drawings, music, etc., or any other type of information that does not comprise common knowledge.
- You use quotations from another person's spoken or written word.

- Begin the writing process by stating your ideas; then go back to the author's original work.
- Use quotation marks and credit the source (author) when you copy exact wording.
- Use your own words (paraphrase) instead of copying directly when possible.
- Even when you paraphrase another author's writings, you must give credit to that author.
- If the form of citation and reference are not correct, the attribution to the original author is likely to be incomplete. Therefore, improper use of style can result in plagiarism. Get a style manual and use it.

I love the style, but for me this one is just a little out of balance. It's really sweet, but in an odd way. I wouldn't call it bittersweet, but there is a bitterness to it that catches you off guard a little (again, out of balance). Maybe on another day I'd have been game for it.

Meh. I bought this because I remembered drinking some great Oktoberfest brews in Munich this time about two years ago. Then I remembered that my sis and I mostly drank Paulaner's Oktoberfest.
Hard to compare, because this is coming out of a case that had to be shipped across the ocean... but I wasn't impressed with this beer. It LOOKS good... great big, beige, frothy, lingering head. Smells sweet.
Just not very complex, to me. It has a slightly acidic aftertaste. I wish it had some more hops, to balance out it's over-maltiness.
If you're looking for an Oktoberfestbier, might as well buy the Paulaner.

Appearance This one is light orange in color and comes with a full, gorgeous, pillowy head.
Smell The light molasses and malt notes were subdued but present. I could also pick up some sweet, sugary caramel.
Taste Ill call this the Optimator Light. It has all the same flavors except not as intense and full. The deep, rich toffee came out nicely along with some good sugar cane.
Mouthfeel This medium-bodied Oktoberfest bier has great balance. It has a lot going on in the mouth, especially for a style not known for its complexity.
Drinkability This is the real deal. The order of flavors rich malt, molasses, caramel, toffee was just right. I really enjoyed this offering from Spaten.

Liter consumed at Kavanaughs Esquire Club in Madison, WI.
Pours a solid copper with a thick white head that immediately dissipates to nothing. Visibly well carbonated.
Aroma is feint of caramel, must, and just a touch of German hops. I dont find any toast.
Taste is also a bit of a let down. Its not that there are bad things happening here. Its just that there isnt much at all going on here. Grainy with a floral finish but almost entirely lacking in toast and not sweet enough.
Mouthfeel: Light and aggressively carbonated. Clean and crisp.
Driunkability: Very high. Goes down like a light beer.

This is a tarnished copper color with a thin but fluffy eggshell colored head. The beer is virtually odorless to my nose. The flavor is pretty standard. Sweet, slightly biscuity malt, fruity hops, and a slightly metallic finish. This is exactly what I expect in an Oktoberfest. It is not bad but, I would much rather have a fresher, cheaper, one from an American brewer.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a crystal clear dark caramel color. Initial pour had a decent soapy foam head of about 1-1/2 to 2 fingers deep, white, and didn't last long. Reduces quickly to a ring of white bubbles at the glass.
Very faint aromas of caramel malts and herbal grassy hops. Did I mention 'faint'? The aromas really aren't an impressive part of this brew.
Tastes are a touch malty, moderate malts, with a pretty good balance of hops. The slight sweetness is part of a solid flavor that stays together nicely though the whole tasting experience. Mouthfeel is a touch thinner or lighter than I expected with some pretty spritely carbonation. The finish goes a bit dry but there is still some of that moderate maltyness in the linger.
The overall experience is enjoyable and the drinkability is decent. Not the best Oktoberfest that I've ever had but it was enjoyable just the same.

Apperance was nice with a light amber color and a small white head that lasted and left decent lace down the glass. The smell had a certian grain and grass scent to it with not much else all, and the taste was simmilar. A mostly malty brew, this one did not have much in the way of hops or anyhting else. The mouthfeel was quite good though, with a good balance of carbonation and smoothness. Although this is not that exciting of a beer, it is easy to put back a few so I score it a little higher than others on the drinkability scale. But in the end, there are better Oktoberfest brews out there

Poured a dark copper body with a thin white head that fell to a cap. Faint aroma of sweet caramel malts and flowery hops. Mouthfeel was medium bodied with a crip carbonation. Flavors were sweet and refreshing with a hint of hop bitterness in the finish. Very good drinkability.

Pours from the green bottle a nice golden reddish orange color with a small white head. The smell is of caramel malts with some earthy tones and a bit of skunkiness as well.
The first sip is a creamy caramely nutty infusion. This was not what I was expecting from the weak smell. Quite complex and flavorful...this is a nice example of the Oktoberfest style.
Mouthfeel is right where it should be...a very nice consistency and not overly carbonated. Drinkability is good here as well. An all around tasty brew that I could drink many of. This is a great time of year for beer and Spaten adds to my enjoyment!

I wasn't expecting too much from Spaten Oktoberfestbier, after trying the snoozefest that is Spaten premium lager, but at $1.75/bottle at my local tavern, I figured what-the-hell.
This beer has that pleasant orangish-tint-of-fall hue going on. Oktoberfests are normally very attractive beers, and this one was no exception.
Being in smoky bar, I could not pick up any nose at all.
The taste was very solid and well-rounded. Not as bold or flavorful as Hacker-Pschoor's, but still a tasty treat.
I had another bottle before the night was over, so all in all I would rate this as a very drinkable beer.

A - Pours a clear copper with a finger or so of creamy off-white head. Head fades pretty quickly, leaving only scant lacing.
S - Toasted bready malts, faint floral hops and, thankfully, only a slight presence of green glass light struck funk. Clean simple and pleasant.
T - Similar to smell with very pronounced toasted malt and minimal hop presence. Pretty good but not among my favorite Oktoberfest beers.
M - Medium, clean mouthfeel wit a slighlty dry finish.
O - A decent Oktoberfest. Not sure if moving away from green glass would improve this or not. With the vast selection available in this style I probably won't get this again, but I wouldn't turn one down if offered.

A very drinkable beer, but it doesn't have the depth of flavor one would expect from an authentic German Oktoberfest bier. The appearance is great with a deep golden color. The aromas are exactly what you'd expect, but the flavors fall a bit short. It's better than most American impersonators, but it doesn't live up to it's appearance or the expectations of this "real deal" German Oktoberfest.

3.43/5 rDev -4.5%
Presentation: It was poured from a green 12oz bottle into a dimpled mug.
Appearance: It had a dark brunt orange amber color which is very different from the light golden Spaten Oktoberfest that I remember enjoying a few years ago. The body had good clarity and the head was thin and faded fast leaving very little head or lace.
Smell: The aroma was light and had floral hops with a slight skunk popping out though sweet caramel and candy like malt notes. (My wife noted that is was like smartees candy.)
Taste/Mouth feel: It had a sweet candy like malt flavor with some mild floral hops. Hop bitterness was very light and coved up buy the sweetness of the malt. It finishes on the sweet side with hint of grassy hops. It was about medium bodied with a smooth texture and light carbonation.
Notes: Overall it was not bad but nothing like the lighter Spaten Oktoberfest that I remember which was very good.

3.48/5 rDev -3.1%
Appearance - Pours a crystal clear amber color with a decent beige head that fizzles away after a minute or so.
Smell - some grains but mostly a very skunky smell. I have a feeling this bottle has some light-damage.
Taste - Very nice sweet caramel maltiness up front, breadiness, very subtle hop spiciness, finishes pretty clean with some yeastiness. No skunkiness in the taste..weird how the smell is mostly off but the flavor is great.
Mouthfeel - medium bodied, rolls around in the mouth, carbonation is spot on.
Drinkability - As long as I dont smell the beer, it tastes great and very drinkable. Good offering from Spaten. Prost!

11.2oz green bottle with a cryptic looking freshness code.
LOOK: Brandishes a clear copper color, enough head and lacing action to get by
SMELL: Loaf of bread, grape skin, nutty, very grassy, faint caramel, floral hop, mineral, clean
TASTE: Semi-crisp, slick, slightly sweet, bready, cake, moderate hop bitterness, flat herbal flavor, slightly spicy, hint of alcohol, very dry toasted grainy finish
For its travels and most likely its preparation for the trip the US it ends up being a pretty good lager. In the world of beer and Oktoberfest it is a pretty easy assumption that this beer tastes a lot better from the source but with that said ... the beer that is sent over is certain worth getting.

According to figures from a number of sources, including the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Childbirthconnection.org, it'll cost a total of $234,900 to raise a child from birth to age 17.
And that was as of two years ago, so the costs will be significantly higher this year.
Here are some of the breakdowns:
To educate and have your child cared for, it'll cost you a total of $42,282 from nursery school to high school, which equates to 18 percent of the total child-rearing costs.
To keep your child healthy from birth to age 17, it'll run you $18,792, and that's just for regular healthcare visits, not medical emergencies or unforeseen hospital stays.
But before your child has the chance to get hurt and dragged off to the emergency room, you'll be paying at least $9,617 for the delivery and everything leading up to it.
Once your child is delivered, food and nourishment costs will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $37,584 for all meals.
Housing and transportation
In 1960 the average mortgage payment was $527 per month and $6,323 per year. In 2011, it was $1,061 monthly and $12,732 each year, and once you throw in maintenance, taxes and other costs for a home, that amount will be pushed up.
Then there are transportation costs, which will make up about 14 percent of the amount it takes to raise a child, leaving parents to pay a sum of $32,886 for the vehicle and giving your child money for public transportation.
The gasoline that will be used on each child will cost somewhere in the area of $19,000, and that amount can obviously go up or down, depending on gas prices.
Childcare costs
Most people know how ridiculously expensive it can be, which is why many new parents reach out to grandma or a close family member who will watch their child either for free or for a very low amount.

JOPLIN, Mo. — An assistant football coach at Missouri Southern State University was gunned down in a movie theater parking lot Friday night, prompting the school to cancel homecoming.
Derek Moore, 37, in his first year as offensive line coach of the Missouri Southern Lions, died from injuries he sustained when he was shot outside the Northstar 14 Theatres in Joplin, university officials said.
The shooting happened at 9:50 p.m. Friday. Police arrested Jeffery L. Bruner, 39, of Joplin, shortly after the shooting and held him without bail on a charge of murder. They said Bruner knew the victim.
"We are looking at the investigation not as a random crime," said Police Sgt. Ryan West. "There was a relationship (between the suspect and the victim), and the suspect did have motive, which I cannot elaborate on at this time."
West said there were witnesses to the shooting but declined to say how many. He said the shooting coincided with movies letting out at the multiplex theater while others were preparing to go to the late showing.
Moore's death prompted the school to cancel Saturday's game against Lindenwood University, as well as its other homecoming festivities. School officials said the game would be rescheduled later.
Moore, who leaves a 7-year-old son, coached at Western Illinois University for three yeras before before moving to Missouri Southern this season. He was a college coach for 14 years.
"Derek was new to Missouri Southern, but he was embraced by our campus and community," said head football coach Daryl Daye. "He was a very likeable person who always had a smile on his face and made friends easily with our staff and players. This is an unspeakable loss for the MSSU athletics family."
Details for this story were reported by the Joplin, Mo., Globe.

Buying an engagement ring or shopping for it need not always be a dreaded task. With some sufficient knowledge, coupled with the excitement of buying a ring for one's beloved, purchasing an engagement ring could be very delightful and satisfying. Let us have a look at some of the most important things that need to be considered when buying an engagement ring.
One should be familiar with all the features and terms associated with engagement rings. The much needed product knowledge would not just instill a new level of confidence within the buyer, but it would also help avoid disreputable or deceiving sellers. Some of the aspects that one must be aware of are the band, the settings, the gemstone, cost, etc.
Expensive need not always equate top-notch quality, and this holds good for engagement rings as well. The ideal jeweler need not always sell the most expensive stuff. When going through the different aspects of the store, the ambience, staff members, the product varieties, etc. must be taken into consideration. Apart from this, the costs must also be looked into so that any purchases done do not exceed the budget. If possible, the jeweler's association or affiliation with regulatory organizations, associations, or societies, etc. should also be determined.
Fiancée's Tastes
If one is about to surprise his/her fiancée, choosing an engagement ring can be a very difficult task as one would not be able to consult or ask for the other person's tastes beforehand. Most women do not prefer getting surprised as far as jewels or clothing is concerned. Therefore, if one wants to ensure that the ring being bought does not turn out to be a disappointment, shopping together would be the only solution.
There are no specific price brackets for the actual cost of the engagement ring. However, it is quite common to see a man spending at least two months of his salary on the engagement ring. At the end of the day, it is all about how much one can afford.
Besides the design and the price, issues of practicality must also be looked into. For instance, if one's fiancé or girlfriend is an outdoor person, then the engagement ring must be able to withstand all the wear-and-tear it goes through due to the exposure to a sea of activities. If the gemstone's positioning on the ring is quite high, the likelihood of the stone getting knocked off its pedestal would be great. For an outdoorsy and active girl, the gemstone's setting should be lower. For a glamor or a fashionista girl, the placement could be higher.

Lambert: No need for Gazzaniga apology (From Daily Echo)

Rickie Lambert says Southampton goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga doesn't need to apologise for his error in 1-1 draw with Norwich
10:00am Thursday 29th November 2012 in Sport
Saints striker Rickie Lambert said there was no need for goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga to apologise to his teammates following his blunder against Norwich.
Gazzaniga allowed a tame free-kick from Robert Snodgrass to sneak by him at the near post last night, handing the Canaries a 1-1 draw at St Mary's.
Lambert, who had given the home side the lead, revealed that the 20-year-old cut a dejected figure in the dressing room after the match.
"He didn't have to apologise to us," said Lambert. "You could see he was disappointed.
"He has done really well the last few weeks and it was a just little lapse in concentration.
"He is more disappointed than us and these things happen. It is how you respond to it."
The draw meant that Saints extended their unbeaten Premier League run to four matches.
However, they have also slipped back into the relegation zone.
Lambert admitted he was frustrated that the team had failed to seize the opportunity to win a third consecutive game.
"I am definitely frustrated not to get the three points," said Lambert, whose goal marked his sixth strike of the season.
"I thought we played really well in the first half and I thought we were definitely going to win it.
"We've come in disappointed at half-time and felt we could have pushed on in the second half.
"We haven't managed to do that so, yeah, I am disappointed."

Report: Amazon in talks to stream new episodes of ABC-canceled series
Could "Pan Am" be un-grounded? According to this report from Deadline, discussions are underway to revive the '60s drama by streaming it via Amazon.com.
Bing: More about "Pan Am"
"Pan Am" was canceled by ABC earlier this month after a steep takeoff (11 million viewers for the premiere) was followed by a steady loss of altitude (3.8 million viewers for the finale). However, according to Deadline, it is extremely popular in Europe, where it recently won best series at the Rose d'Or awards, the continent's top television honor.
Also: What TV shows are returning next season?
Produced by Sony Pictures TV, the series starred Christina Ricci, Kelli Garner, Karine Vanasse and Margot Robbie as flight attendants exploring exotic locales, witnessing historical moments and intermingling with the spy world.
Amazon -- which already streams what looked to be "Pan Am's" only season -- is looking to follow Netflix and Hulu into the production of original content.

Geek alert: 'Mythbusters' hosts lend their voices in this special episode
MSN TV has this exclusive image of "Mythbusters" hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman as members of the Empire:
Creators and executive producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh expressed their excitement about adding Savage and Hyneman to the cast: "We've been wanting to do something with them for ages, because they are the living adult versions of Phineas and Ferb in the real world. We ran into them at Comic-Con last year and knew that they worked on the original 'Star Wars', so when this opportunity came up we asked if they could come voice a few characters for us. It was really cool for us; we're hoping it was cool for them."
It's definitely cool for us!

Second, it will get one of the HOHs (Head of Households) into BIG trouble. Let's just say that if I were HOH, I would nominate two weak players."

Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
"It's going to be really awesome for the kids," predicted parent Joanna Chavez, who has an eighth-grader and sixth-grader at the school. "Everything they do now is with electronics. They can't wait to get them."
District officials said the comprehensive distribution process, with about 6,200 iPad minis given out at middle schools throughout St. Vrain, was designed to give students and their parents a solid overview now that every middle schooler will be using the devices in classes.
"We're very intentional in making this a very open process," said Joe McBreen, the district's chief information officer.. "We're all in this together to educate our kids and empower them for the 21st century."
He said the iPad distribution is part of an overall plan to get the best technology into the hands of students and reduce the growing digital divide between students who have access to technology at home and those who don't.
"Learning should happen any time, any place," he said.

An absolutely significant skill in any research or investigation, for educators and learners in the digital age - the curation of content- with a clear focus or question in mind, the capacity to target a search field, sift through, reflect on and make decisions about the most suitable resource or evidence to use. What a great learning experience.

Chris Johnson is definitely top 5 fastest
Trindon Holliday is likely the fastest guy in the NFL right now and if Demps plays that are virtual equals.
Quote from: Pepsi on May 19, 2013, 03:45:54 PMChris Johnson is definitely top 5 fastestEver? No way.
Jacoby Ford can fly. Haven't seen a mention.
In TODAY's NFL, I'd pick Demps...
Ford is legit but not as fast as Holliday or Demps. Demps and Holliday are virtual equals over 100m. Those 40yd times are not trustworthy in the least. The NFL 40yd "electronic" timing is flawed as well. The pro day is complete nonsense.
Quote from: NotDeadYet on May 19, 2013, 03:56:58 PM In TODAY's NFL, I'd pick Demps...demps not a current NFL player at this point
Bo was a beast, an absolute freaky beast in two sports. We were robbed due to his untilmely injury.

Sweetheart Charmeuse Gown with Pick-Up Skirt Style WG3339 43 44
LOVE IT!! This was the last dress I tried on and I'm sooo happy with this purchase. The dress is so lightweight, you don't feel like you are wearing a bridal gown. It has just enough detail to be elegant. I did not purchase a sash because I just didn't want to add color to my dress. I cannot wait for the big day! May 23, 2014
Perfect dress for my perfect day! I traveled to the States in May 2013 and I wanted a reasonably priced dress for my October wedding in the Caribbean where I live. My background is somewhat conservative so finding a dress that was not strapless but still looked good was near impossible! I settled on this dress because it was simple, elegant...and on sale. I had to buy a size 6 because the 8 was big in the bust (I am 34B) and I didn't have time for alterations. However, when I returned home, I wasn't quite settled in my mind that I would feel comfortable in a strapless dress so two weeks before my wedding, I went with my dress-maker and bought some beaded lace material and she was able to make a beautiful cover which she attached to the dress. She took off the beading at the side and added those beads to the cover and made a new side piece with the lace...incredible! The dress is light and easy to move in and it fits well. October 23, 2013
Great Dress!! I bought this dress off the rack and had it taken in at the waist a couple times. It was beautiful! I didn't wear the slip for the Beach photos and there really wasn't much difference. May 29, 2013
I Am So In Love With This Dress!!! This dress is absolutely perfect right down to the color, style and fabric. I came into David's Bridal very opened minded because I was unsure of what I wanted. I knew for sure I wanted something figure flattering but felt hesitant about wedding dress shopping because I had, had a baby 8 months prior and hadn't lost all my baby weight yet. I had picked this one out on the clearance rack (I guess someone had bought it but returned it) . Just looking at in on the hanger did not do it justice! As soon as I put it on I knew it was the one. It looked absolutely fantastic on compared to on the rack. I felt like I had instantly lost 50 pounds by the way it fit my body and curves so well. But what really sold me was when my consultant told me about the beaded detail on the side,which was really nice, was in fact a ribbon loop! As soon as she put the ribbon through it looked even BETTER, which I didn't think could happen. I was amazed and had to have it! The color,soft white, was perfect for my skin tone. I was certain that I looked good in ivory and not white but found that out quickly because the dress I tried on right before was ivory and it looked horrible in comparison. I had picked this dress out in a size 14 but would of needed alterations, which were going to cost more than the dress, so I tried on a size 12 from the rack and it fit just a little snug but by the day of our wedding it will fit perfect as the baby weight comes off. The size 12 was perfect too because it didn't need any alterations especially a hem. It was perfect length with or without shoes. I really liked the kind of very short train. All in all, this dress is amazing and was better than my highest expectations! May 28, 2013
