Rated 4 out of 5 by kimmy84 Beautiful Hotel When i checked into my room the ac wasnt working correctly they switched rooms for me and gave me a 75.00 resort credit for the hassle. That kind of service is hard to come by these days, they were very accommodating and the hotel premises was gorgeous the construction work going on is an eyesore but not loud September 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Maddie31 Not Up to Par We have visited this resort many times and are owners in Bay Vista. That in itself says how much we love the Westin St. John. However, this year we had numerous issues -- all with Housekeeping (not the Maid service). We arrived on the 5:30 ferry and were shown to our loft. We had asked for a queen air mattress and extra bedding long before our arrival. It wasn't in the room so we called Housekeeping. There were no sheets on one of the pullouts and the other pullout had dirty sheets - sand and hair visible. When we got back from dinner there was still no clean linen. After several phone calls we went to the desk at 10:30 p.m. requesting linens. That finally did the trick but after a long day of travel this was certainly not up to our expectations and was very disappointing. We never did get the air mattress. We moved to another unit after a couple days and again found Housekeeping to be unresponsive. The rest of the resort was wonderful. The Beach Cafe and Snorkles food and service were great, especially Timmica, Cynthia and Shirley! They do a fantastic job and are so friendly. Also, the shuttle service was greatly improved this year! Very prompt and seldom had to wait more than a minute or two. Overall we still love to vacation here but improved communication is definitely necessary. March 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jaime46 Jaime 46 I had a great experience at your facilities. I just want to recommend that you improve the service in the restaurant during breakfast. We want twice to the facilities and some of the personnel were extremly slow and did not show a lot of interest in servicing the guests. September 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BobAndCompany One of the most beautiful places on earth I first visited St John as a young adult 27 years ago, and stayed at what was then known as the Virgin Grand St. John (now it's the Westin St John). After my first visit, I concluded that St, John had to be one of the most beautiful place I'd seen. 27 years, 35 countries a dozen Caribbean islands later, my opinion hasn't changed: St John is the one of the most beautiful places on earth. The Westin is in great shape. They're still working on renovations, but the guestrooms are brand new and the pool is fantastic. But it's the PEOPLE that turn a hotel stay into something special, and it's here that the Westin excels. What trick do you employ to remember guest's names? It's magical! And how do you get your people to constantly SMILE? The staff at the front desk, the friendly people at the Mango Deli, and (most especially) SUE at the pool hut who helped us with our Cabana rentals. It would simply not be possible for Sue to have been more warm, genuine and helpful. It's so clearly obvious that she loves her job and her life, and her spirit is infectious. A few very minor constructions issues aside, my only real (but slight) disappointment was in the hotel's beach. While it looked pleasant, the seaweed made swimming a bit dicey. However, we spent several glorious days at Trunk Bay, a beach that has few peers, so we didn't really need to use the beach at the hotel. Based on some reviews that I read before the trip, I was really expecting to be charged extortion pricing for food and drink. I was pleasantly surprised to find that F&B pricing was in line with what you would expect to pay at any island resort. It is an ISLAND after all, and practically everything has to be shipped in; higher prices come with the territory! My family & friends have made it an annual tradition to vacation at the Westin Maui in Hawaii, but we're rethinking that tradition; alternating between Maui and St. John seems to be the new plan.See you in 2016!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Boston79 Below Exepectations I will say that we have traveled to Caribbean resorts every winter for the past four years, and this Westin falls to the bottom of the list of our choice destinations. I would, unfortunately, agree with most of the reviews that say this hotel charges like a five star resort, but our experience was much more like a three star resort. First off, I am still struggling with the billing department to get our billing statement corrected. It has taken three plus attempts and they still cannot seem to straighten out that our package included breakfast (yet they charged for breakfast). They also had a charge on the bill from the last departing guests from our room for $100! I would also say the hotel just feels very much run down and in desperate need of a "face lift". The breakfast buffet was a huge disappointment each and every day. It amazes me that this hotel can't seem to figure out how to put together a "nice" and "eatable" buffet for $28 per person. The food in the hot plated area was stale and had obviously been sitting out for too long. The breakfast also lacked selection that we have seen at similar Caribbean hotels that offer buffet breakfast. We also found the staff to be very "hit or miss" in terms of their efforts to be friendly and helpful, or act as though they are doing us a favor. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this hotel and we will not be returning. February 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jon50 Wonderful Place To Stay My family of four went on an after Christmas vacation and had a great time here. Our hillside villa was very comfortable and spacious. The pools were great and we never had any trouble finding a chair. The only downside to the trip were the "no-see-ums". These are tiny bugs that bit us all over our bodies. Must carry bug spray at all times. Other than that we would definitely recommend this Westin. January 10, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by BeachTraveler Worst Westin Property I travel weekly for work and this is by far the worst Westin I have ever stayed at. The light in the bathroom was out, the lamps were missing the on/off handle, cockroaches in the room, staff didn't put ironing board away, had to ask the concierge 3 times for ferry schedule and finally had to call the actual ferry company because the hotel was incorrect. We rented the car and the lady in the car rental place was miserable and flat out rude. St. John is a beautiful island and I usually love Westin so this was a complete disappointment, especially because of the price you pay to stay there. March 6, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pipersheridan Relax and Restore is Right ! This Westin Property is beautiful, and the staff was wonderful. The transition from the airport, to the ferry and then on to the property was so smooth. I loved not having to stand on line at a front desk ! I barely realized that we actually checked in at the airport, and we were just handed welcome drinks and our key cards and scooped off to our room in a golf cart by our bellman. January 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SAL555 Resort is beautiful Our 2 bedroom villa was amazing and very spacious and had a fabulous view of the bay. Loved the pool area and private beach. On the negative side, Cruz Bay water sports staff did not communicate to us what forms needed to be completed for the Virgin Gorda trip, nor did they tell us we needed cash for the customs fees. We found out about all of this as we were ready to board the boat. Very frustrating! Additionally, overall the food at the resort failed to impress us, it was mediocre at best. Cruz Bay Prime restaurant was somewhat better. And, if you don't like bugs, then be prepared! We even had the deet wristbands and used the deet spray when going out in the evenings, but were still eaten alive. January 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Chris88 NO BED?! Staff not helping! We arrived yesterday at your resort, and must say that we are completely dissatisfied with the accommodations and the service we are getting. My wife and I are traveling with our three sons ages 7, 10 & 13. We booked a one bedroom villa seven months ago that was supposed to have a pull out couch for our two younger boys and a rollaway bed for our 13 year old. When we checked in at the ferry counter we were told that our one bedroom villa will have a roll away bed. Then when we arrived at your resort, we were told that a bed was not available for our 13 year old son, but the hotel was "working on" getting us a bed or another room with accommodations for five. After numerous discussions throughout the day it became obvious and extremely frustrating that nothing was going to be done. Needless to say, this put a huge damper on our first day. Instead of relaxing and getting acclimated to the resort, we were focused on making sure our son had a bed to sleep in. This is not how we wanted to spend our first day at the Westin, St. John. At the end of the day nothing was done. Even after many discussions with the front desk manager, my 13 year old slept on two chairs put together as a makeshift bed. If we had any idea that there was a chance that one of us would not have a bed, we would have not chosen to stay at the Westin, St. John. It is completely unacceptable for a hotel to not provide a bed for a guest. It is the most basics need that must be met before all other amenities are to be provided. I normally do not write reviews, but as you can see we are very frustrated and disappointed with the Westin staff for allowing something like this from happening. March 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by WM39 Amazing Island, Hotel is upgrading St. John is a beautiful island. One of the best vacation spots in the caribbean. The hotel is currently in renovations, and it appears there will be more villas (perhaps almost all vacation ownership rather than hotel guests). This is a good thing--the older rooms are very outdated. We booked a 1 bdrm suite on points, and were placed in a room straight out of 1981. The room was pretty awful, and smelled of mold and mildew. (There are lots of newer rooms around--but of course on points...) We complained and were upgraded to a 2 bdrm villa, which on the face of it was a fantastic upgrade. We had stayed in the villas in 2009 and they are very well done. Our only complaint with the room we were moved to was that it actually had worse mold issues than the 30 year old suite. The HVAC was covered in mold and there was evidence of previous water damage in the 2nd bedroom. The room was very musty, and all of us had allergy symptoms the entire stay. We inquired about the room more than complained, and the gentleman who arrived concurred with the presence of mold, but said it was just part of island living. An engineer showed up who changed the air filter and sprayed air freshener--but that obviously did nothing. We were told we could not be moved to another room--so we made do and had a great time on the island anyway--just seemed ridiculous that something so new would have those kinds of problems already. All this being said, I'd return to the resort because St. John is so amazing, and really the Westin is the the only game in town for a family of 4. I would consider renting a house instead, but the resort atmosphere, pool, etc is nice to have, and the people are for the most part helpful and courteous. Carolyn the concierge was also terrific. Lets all hope that the renovations make this hotel (if it will still be a hotel) the gem it should be. And lets hope they figure out whatever the mold issue is in Room 2713! January 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Floridaguest99 Okay, not great. The choices on St. John are limited in this hotel category, so this may be as good as it gets. The good: Room was very nice and spacious. The work out room is fine and our massages were great. We stayed in the Villas up on the hill. The steakhouse, CB Prime, was excellent. The fair: A portion of the staff is slow and surly. Some of them provide great service and seem to care, but there is clearly a contingent that isn't motivated. The bad is the bugs. We're from Flirda and have noseeums, but they were absolutely ferocious. The view from our room was of the road which isn't very attractive. We were disappointed the front desk couldn't get us into our room earlier despite plenty of turnover the nighht before. December 1, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 Favorite Island I would like to start by saying that St. Johns is a special place for my family and I. This was our third visit and we look forward to returning to the island every couple of years. With that said, the experience and services of the hotel seem to be diminishing. Rooms and Service: The new villas are beautiful and well appointed. However, upon this recent visit we were informed that maid service is only provided on the 3rd and final day of your stay. This is unacceptable for a luxury resort. I do not want to have to make my bed every morning when I am on vacation. I do not want to have to sleep in sandy sheets because we went to the beach. And I must certainly do not want to be charged extra to have my room cleaned. This is a major negative. Staff: We love the boat ride over to St. Johns (except my wife) and the crew is always great. The way the property greets the guest as they depart from the boat is lovely. However, the service at the beach café and snorkels is very unfriendly. The servers have a lot of attitude as if they are doing you a favor by taking your order. One prime example was at snorkels, I decided that I wanted onion rings instead of french fries. When I asked our server to change my side, she said she would have to go to the kitchen to make that happen, which she didn't. When I mentioned it to her, she said that is what I ordered. At $20 for a burger, you would expect better service. The grounds grew is always waving and smiling, positive marks for them. And a special shout out for Eric at the concierge desk. He is always happy to see you and goes out of his way to make you feel that you are the most important guess on property. Another note is that there should be more shuttles to your rooms. Entertainment: There is very little to none. This trip there was no live music. Again, this should be standard for a hotel like the Westin. Family Activities: While we did not take advantage of the Westins kids club, my wife and I strongly feel that there needs to be more activities outside of the one pool. I would not expect the Westin to compete with Atlantis in terms of water attractions, but the hotel could definitely use to add water activities such as an activities pool and water slides. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. July 24, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Marylander Beware of real-estate sales pitch The Westin St. John has some pluses. The rooms are decent, the staff is almost without exception friendly and obliging, the pool is big (and towels plentiful), and we had a great day trip with a swell crew to the "caves and baths" in the British Virgin Islands. But it's very pricey. It's very noisy (including nonstop "rock" or Muzak around the pool). There's very little to do when it rains (which happened throughout our visit). The beach is mediocre (though if you drive, of course, St. John has multiple lovely beaches). And housekeeping, though competent, is infrequent. (Just once during our week.) Our biggest issue this visit (which was our second--and LAST) was severe mistreatment in connection with Starwood's relentless effort to get you to buy a "time share" in one of their "Bay Vista" units. (Yes, you can see the bay from a few of these.) Whether one would WANT such a thing depends, of course, on your view of time shares in general; whether you're happy with a unit that has spacious (tho dim) bathrooms but scant play-space for kids; whether you want to cook for yourself (there's no real oven); and whether you welcome a long trek up a steep hill from the only available parking. (This we found to be a major hassle when burdened with groceries, snorkeling gear, etc. There are roaming golf-carts but they're almost never at the parking lot when you want one, especially in the rain!) During our first visit, we had agreed to return via a "deal" that Starwood calls the "Explorer package" whereby they give you a discounted rate on a potential time-share unit so that you can test-drive it, so to speak, in return for listening to another of their high-pressure sales pitches. Moreover, if you're a married couple, both must attend that pitch or they instantly cancel the "deal" part and retroactively charge the (very high) "rack rate" for your unit. As it turned out, my wife had to go to China to speak at a medical conference during our week in St. John and I made the grievous error of telling the truth--at a cost of thousands of $$. (Had I fibbed and said we were recently divorced, or she had died, or that my adult daughter was my wife, we would have saved a bundle.) Never mind that we've been good Starwood customers over the years with "SPG" status. This may well be the end of our relationship with that company--and certainly the last time we succumb to their time-share marketing! March 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Frankie51 GREAT RESORT PROPERTY We just spent six nights at our Bayside Villa, the Grounds are very well kept, We ate dinner at Cruz Bay Prime and the Dinner & Service was excellent. The Bar Service at Snorkels is very poor , the ladies working there tend to ignore you and are not very friendly, The only friendly staff is the concierge's desk , they are very helpful , but also want to make sure you attend a owner's update at the time share office. We will continue to go to this resort as St John's is a special place, but the service has to be up to the standards of a Westin property. June 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by WashingtonDC Love St Johns Westin What a great resort! The hotel upgraded our room on the beach. We went with another couple and had a great time. Although we did not take our kids this time we would take them back. The resort has a lot for them to do. Beach is private and beach sports are solid. I would highly recommend renting a dingy and going around the island. It is amazing! The hotel has a great gym. The spa is small. If you want to save some money take the local ferry vs. the westin boat. Lunch and breakfast are fine at hotel but eat out for dinner (Not at resort)!!! December 9, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by BillN1212 Bill Newcomb The hotel was under renovation while we were there. We should have been informed of this beforehand but apparently AAA didn't even know. The construction itself was tolerable but many of the services were closed or relocated. The place was dead after dark. One bar open and no entertainment (that we saw). My wife was at the hotel 5 years ago and she did not enjoy the stay as much this time and will not likely return. She classified it as "Deadsville". July 22, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by EvanI Liars at front desk Front desk lied about many things including if a manager was on duty. Spg members don't expect staff to do anything helpful, not even a request to downgrade our room despite availability. We did not like our room I like to think I am a low maintenance person but the service we relieved from both the general manager and front desk was inexcusable. While st John was much prettier than near by puerto Rico and vieques I highly recommend the service at the w there or the st Regis. A few weeks after we came back I got a hold of the general manager and he said he would look into problem but never even wrote a response email or phone call June 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by sis54 I can recommed this hotel to anyone This is my third year at this hotel. I enjoy my stay every year. My husband and I travel in September because we enjoy the off season quietness at the resort and the island. My only issue is that the food and service at the only resturant open in the evening is not very good. I think this is because of the off seaon and have found several nice resturants open in Cruz Bay. It would just be nice to be able to have a nice dinner on property. The deli/market has great sandwiches which we take to the beach every time we go. September 25, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wackka Great stay despite a very rough start. This stay was supposed to be a awesome well deserving girl's vacation and it was almost ruined by the welcoming committee (Franique and Kara) at the airport in charge of issuing you your transfers. No welcoming smile, rude, curt and no customer service skills were how we were met by St; John Westin Villa staff. This was followed by them informing me that my 3 bedroom villa was canceled by someone and we were placed in a 1 bedroom villa. After 4 hours on the phone with 2 supervisor and a change in room, we were finally able to enjoy the wonderful island and Westin St. John Villa. Kudos to Akema, Shamir, the cab drivers, the ground keepers for an impeccable ground/grass, the welcoming staff at the hotel and the shuttle service who always picked you up/drop off with a smile. August 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by MikeP2 This was a really great vacation The Westin St John was a great place to stay in the Caribbean. The staff at the hotel was pleasant and attentive. My wife and I stay at Westin Hotels pretty frequently, and this hotel is above the Westin standard. We really enjoyed the poolside bar. Service was quick and the drinks were good. Mango Deli was a good place to get a sandwich on resort. The resort is really clean, and well taken care of. The hotel is a $5 (per person) taxi ride to restaurants, beach bars, and shopping. October 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sumdoit WONDERFUL LOCATION/FACILITY My wife and I have been vacationing on the island of St John for over 20 years. We have always rented a private home and also rented a car. This year we stayed at the Westin and DID NOT have to rent a car. We took the taxi to town and/or restaurant . ----no driving and or parking problems. We spent our time at the Westin beach or pool swimming/reading and also went with Capt. Phil for a day of snorkeling . Very DISAPPOINTED with the music selections played on pool area speakers October 21, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by DCT12 Disappointing The staff were wonderful. However, the remainder of the experience was disappointing. The quality of the facility did not equate to the cost of the experience. I wrongly expected more. Attention to detail was remiss (e.g., discolored tiles, moldy ceiling, toiletpaper holder falling off the wall, running out of half and half at the deli in the morning). We have traveled a number of places, this was by far the most dissonant in terms of what I expected and what I experienced. May 9, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Angie25 Island Paradise! My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary this past week at the West St John Resort and our stay could not have been more perfect! Friendly staff, amazing food, tasty drinks and the most relaxing place in the entire world! The facility is beautifully maintained and looks like a tropical paradise! We discovered so many wonderful things to do and see on the resort and in Cruz Bay but there's still plenty more to do on our next trip! Thanks!! June 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sousa53 Great stay Our stay was tremendous at the Westin. My daughters wedding in St John so many of our guest stayed at the Westin and the Westin villas, everyone had a great time. Staff attentive to our needs, food great, even though construction was in progress it did not interfere in any way. Rehearsal dinner was awesome, thanks to Michelle and the staff. Thanks for a wonderful experience ! June 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SarahNJ Great facilility under construction We have stayed here four times before in August. The facility is gorgeous, but our pool side room was blocked off with jackhammer construction site for part of our week. We arrived on Saturday following storm Bertha. Resort was understaffed due to ferry restrictions placed by US coast guard. Our room was occupied by prior guest when we arrived and we were given a temporary room for the night, which had a queen bed for the four of us. We had asked for a rollaway, but it never came and our phone did not work. Some of the staff made efforts above and beyond the call of duty that day, including bellman Prince Philip and the woman leading guests onto the Westin Ferry. It was a nice touch that the hotel offered us a free buffet dinner. Later in the week, however, our room was not made up one day when we were at the beach. The next day the maid forgot to shut our room door and left it open after she was there. Nothing was taken, but it is a bit unsettling to return to our room with the door wide open. Our room phone only worked two days during our stay. This is a gorgeous property and will return again. The staff's helpfulness was mixed this trip, with some being extra helpful and some unhelpful. August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Reviewed So happy with our stay Chalk up any really negative reviews to a) flukes and b) people who showed up in bad moods and looked for the worst. This hotel would be a solid 4-star place with a couple of very easy fixes. 10% of the lounge chair pads were dirty and 10% of the towels were too worn to be offered to guests. Choose from the 90% of clean chairs and towels, and you'll be happy. Room was in building 15 - had nice updates, very clean, great view of the water (only expected pool view, so very happy here). The food was great across the board at the steakhouse, beach place, and poolside. Focus on the beautiful views, friendly staff, great food and drinks, family-friendly environment, etc., and you will have a wonderful time. Don't get on your hands and knees and inspect the carpet with a magnifying glass - you'll waste your vacation time (and still won't find anything negative). May 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mack15 Exceeded Expectations! After reading some of the reviews on this property, I had some concerns that we would be disappointed. We were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful grounds, friendly staff, and the updated decor and great view from our hillside villa. We had a very quick checkin process and were upgraded to a larger one bedroom villa with a great view. We had rented a jeep so parking right outside our room was very convenient. We loved it! November 12, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by eva0825 love this hotel...except........... I stay at this property twice a year and actually own a time share here as well. I love coming back because of the warm and friendly staff. My only complaint is that the non smoking rule is not enforced. Our hotel stay was in bldg 10 which is beach front. We enjoyed early evenings on our balcony (first floor) and every night our neighors would sit outside and smoke. We are not smokers and did not appreciate this at all. April 20, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by connect101 Split up Family Upon requesting a room for a family of 5 vacation I was informed i needed to reserve and pay for two rooms. I then asked to make sure my three young teenagers could be placed in a room connected. I was told I had reserved such rooms. Upaon checking in we were seperated both inside the rooms as well as outside wheree the patio area was also seperated by a wall. We were told that our last two nights were the only nights you could accomodate a connecting room. We agreed yet stayed in all morning into the afternoon where we finally went sightseeing and left the room. No calls or attempts to contact us that morning were made and no arrangements to have us moved were epidited. I had five nights of restless sleep worrying that everyone was safe and taken care of in their own rooms. An additional expese was nessesary to purchase double of everythingwe brought and planned to share as a family in the rooms conecting. Upon checking in I was told be the front desk that I didnt need to be connected to my kids, that they would be fine without their parents. We were extremely unsatisfied. We were also not informed of renovations until it was passed the cancelation policy to cancel. It was noisy and hot tub was not in working order as well as no main lobby August 7, 2014

Whether it is your go-to bag for shopping or a gift for someone, this simple and chic crossbody purse is a great bag for everyday of the year.
This pincushion is made by sewing two secret garden quilt blocks together and stuffing it with filler. To do the same, start by cutting one square of fabric measuring 10" x 10". I am using adorable coordinating fabrics by Cosmo Cricket. The secret garden quilt blocks really lend themselves to matching fun fabrics. Fold over the raw edges by 1" and press with a hot iron.
Now fold the square in half and press. Open up and rotate the square by 90 degree. Fold it in half again, and press once more. Open out your square and you will have fold lines in the shape of a cross.
Fold each corner of the square in towards the center point. Accuracy is key here, so try and get your points to match up as perfectly as you can.
Now cut a square measuring 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" in a coordinating or contrasting fabric. Using a rotary cutter, ruler and cutting mat will give you the most accurate cutting lines.
Place the smaller square underneath the folded corners of your first square and fold the corners back over it.
I like to sew the points of each corner down in the center. I am by no means an expert quilter and I find this trick helps me keep my points square.
Carefully fold back the edges of the corner points and pin in place. You'll notice the second fabric is being revealed underneath.
Stitch the folded edges down, working your way slowly and carefully around all four points.
Sew a small button to the center of your 'flower'. Not only does it look great, it hides any areas where your points may not meet perfectly! I used a wooden button from Maya Road. The button can even be finished off with a small flower trinket adhered to its center. Beautiful!
I repeated the process to create a second secret garden quilt block then stitched both together with wrong sides facing. Leaving one side open enables you to add filling. Make sure to stuff the pin cushion as firmly as possible. You don't want pins and needles to poke out through the other side. If you are feeling adventurous, stuffing a pincushion with sand (or even human hair!) helps keep the pins sharp.
Sew up the remaining side to finish.
To create the coordinating zipper pouch that completes my handmade sewing kit, I cut 2 pieces of fabric measuring 10" x 10" and applied some lightweight fusible interfacing to the back of one of the pieces. Again, I am using coordinating fabrics by Cosmo Cricket that match my handmade pincushion.
First lay your lining fabric face down on your work surface. Lay your outer fabric face up on top. Pin the zipper to the top edge through both fabrics. The zipper should be face down. Sew the zipper to both fabrics.
Fold the fabric around and pin the other side of the zipper to the other ends of both fabrics. Again, your zipper will be face down on top of the right side of your outer fabric.
Stitch the second side of the zipper to your fabric.
Sew the short ends together making sure that the zipper is folded down on both sides. Trim the seam allowance with pinking shears for a neat finish.
Turn your zipper pouch right sides out and press lightly with an iron. Avoid touching the zipper because if it is plastic, it will melt.

Breast is best- most experts agree and a growing number of moms do too. Elyse Pickett is a new mom who believes she's giving her baby a boost in life.
"From the antibodies that she gets from my breast milk versus formula," Pickett says.
Many "ingredients" have been identified in breast milk that cannot be duplicated in formula. In fact, the benefits of breastfeeding are so well established that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends women breastfeed their infants for at least one year. Exclusively for the first six months.
"Human babies are supposed to get human milk, so that's why we promote mother's milk," says Juana Rodriguez a certified lactation consultant with Lee Memorial Health System.
"We do try to encourage the mom and give her all the opportunities to put her baby to breast. So she has a few practices before she goes home," Rodriguez says.
There is no disputing breast milk does a body good. In addition to strengthening a baby's immune system and protecting it from infections, a slew of studies show it helps prevent diseases and medical conditions.
"To impact a difference in a child having cancer, digestive disorders that can be debilitating. Those issues are decreased significantly with the breast milk," says Rhonda Harper another certified lactation consultant with Lee Memorial Health System.
"There is evidence to support that infants that are breastfed do not face the issues associated with obesity."
There is also the cost bonus, compared to the expense of bottle-feeding.
"Conservatively speaking, it costs $3,500-$5,000 dollars for one year of formula-feeding," Harper says.
"We don't have to clean bottles, we don't have to clean a pump. It's pretty much just her and I," says Pickett.
For this new mom, it's an experience that you can't put a price tag on.

Country Star Trace Adkins visits Portland to help raise money for NashvilleCountry music star and former "Celebrity Apprentice" finalist Trace Adkins dropped into a damp Portland this morning to raise money for a flooded Nashville
"It is bad, but we'll get through it and be okay," said Adkins, who signed autographs and took pictures with fans for an hour outside the studios of local country station 99.5 FM (The Wolf). Listeners were invited down to meet the star for a minimum donation of $5 to relief efforts for country music's home city, which was devastated by flooding last month.
Portland area fans started lining up outside the station studios as early as 6:30 a.m. for their chance to meet the country star, who will be back to Portland for a show with Toby Keith in July. In addition to taking pictures, Adkins signed everything from a hubcap to a pair of bull horns.
"I've got seven minutes to get to work. But it's worth it," said a female fan who showed up to get a picture with the singer. "I mean, he's just gorgeous!"
Even better looking was the guitar case full of cash from a rainy city that Adkins will be taking back to a town that's trying to dry out.

From Conservapedia
Emotion is the expression of inner feelings in a human being. The Theory of Evolution has no explanation for the wide range of human emotions, as even Charles Darwin admitted.
Some of the higher animals also display emotion, such as the joyful playfulness or mournful lonely cries of canines like dogs and wolves.
Emotions are the sometimes irrational counter to the supposedly more rational left side of the brain, but are usually more powerful.[Citation Needed]

Moving from Melbourne to another state? You can't do it on your own – you need the services of a professional, affordable interstate removals company. But when there are so many to choose from, it can often be a difficult decision, one that could cost you in valuable time, money and resources. Here are a few tips on how to choose the right interstate removalists for your move.
You want to find a moving company that has made a name for themselves, but are still down-to-earth. There are many movers who are so overwhelmed with business that they cannot perform to your expectations – their way of service is reckless, irresponsible and careless. The best interstate removalists in Melbourne will be friendly, affordable and take into consideration your individual needs and requirements. Above all, they will be safe, secure and reliable.
A good removalist company will also provide storage units for the furniture that you do not yet want to part with, but do not want to take with you to your new home. There are plenty of storage units Melbourne-wide that provide excellent storage space and offer a combined service with moving your other furniture, at an affordable price. For a great two-for-one deal, you can get a quality storage and moving company. Ensure the facilities and storage spaces are top-quality, clean and protected with necessary equipment such as bolts, locks and video surveillance before you commit to anything.
A good removals company will also have great personal service. Your furniture and belongings are valuable to you, and you can't just get anyone to move them for you. Enlisting the help of considerate furniture removalists in Melbourne who will transfer your furniture to your new location is crucial: you want your belongings to be undamaged, secure and in the conditions you left them in upon your arrival.
Finally, finding a good interstate removalist company who will also provide insurance for their clients and belongings will give you peace of mind in knowing that you are being looked after from the beginning of your trip in Melbourne all the way to your new home.
Moving interstate is a big task. Taking the stress and exhaustion out of it by employing a great interstate removalist who is experienced in handling your belongings and transporting them in a safe way will always take the pressure out of the day for you.

From the book
"I don't know why we gotta sit here baking in your car in the middle of the day, in the middle of the summer, in the middle of this crummy neighborhood," Lula said. "It must be two hundred degrees in here. Why don't we have the air conditioning on?"
"It's broken," I told her.
"Well, why don't you have your window open?"
"It's stuck closed."
"Then why didn't we take my car? My car's got everything."
"Your car is red and flashy. People notice it and remember it. This is the stealth car," I said.
Lula shifted in her seat. "Stealth car, my big toe. This thing is a hunk of junk."
This was true, but it was my hunk of junk, and due to a professional dry spell it was all I could afford. Lula and I work for my cousin Vinnie's bail bonds office in Trenton, New Jersey. I'm a fugitive apprehension agent, and Lula is my sometimes partner.
We were currently parked on Stark Street, doing surveillance on a rooming house, hoping to catch Melvin Barrel coming or going. He'd been accused of possession with intent to sell, Vinnie bonded him out of jail, and Barrel hadn't shown for his court date. Lula makes a wage as the office file clerk, but I only make money if I catch skips, so I was motivated to tough it out in my hellishly hot car, hoping for a shot at snagging Barrel.
"I worked this street when I was a 'ho," Lula said, "but I was in a better section. This here block is for losers. No high-class 'ho would work this block. Darlene Gootch worked this block but it turned out she was killing people as a hobby."
Lula was fanning herself with a crumpled fast food bag she'd found on the floor in the back of my car, and the smell of stale French fries and ketchup wafted out at me.
"You keep waving that bag around and we're going to smell like we work the fry station at Cluck-in-a-Bucket," I said to her.
"I hear you," Lula said. "It's making me hungry, and much as I like the aroma of food grease, I don't want it stuck in my hair, on account of I just had my hair done. I picked out the piña colada conditioner so I'd smell like a tropical island."
Lula's hair was fire-engine red today and straightened to the texture of boar bristle. Her brown skin was slick with sweat. Her extra-voluptuous plus-size body was squeezed into a size 2 petite poison-green spandex skirt, and the acres of flesh that constituted her chest overflowed a brilliant yellow spaghetti-strap tank top. At 5'5" she's a couple inches shorter than me. We're about the same age, which puts us in the proximity of thirtysomething. And we're both single.
My name is Stephanie Plum and I haven't got Lula's body volume or the attitude that goes with it. My attitude goes more toward survival mode. I have shoulder-length curly brown hair, blue eyes almost always enhanced by a swipe of black mascara, decent teeth, a cute nose in the middle of my face, and I can almost always button the top button on my jeans.
"Look at this fool coming at us, walking down the middle of the street," Lula said. "What the heck is he doing?"
The fool was a skinny guy dressed in homie clothes. Baggy pants, wifebeater T‑shirt, $700 basketball shoes. He was jogging more than walking, and every couple steps he'd look over his shoulder and scan the street. He spotted Lula and me, made a course correction, and ran straight for us. He reached my car, grabbed the driver's side door handle and yanked, but nothing happened.
"What's with that?" Lula asked.
"My door's stuck," I said. "It happens when it gets hot."
The skinny guy had his face pressed to my window, and he was yelling at us.
"What's he saying?" Lula...

text: Say what you will about Jewel, that much-mocked poetess with the burlesque body, but it turns out that she's at least halfway in on the joke: ''So why not follow me, the blond bombshell deity?/I'll sell you neat ideas without big words/And a little bit of cleavage to help wash it all down,'' she croons tartly on Goodbye Alice in Wonderland track ''Stephenville, TX.'' Sincerity is still her main trade, as are showbiz-as-Hades tropes and romantic confessionals. But somewhere beneath the Lilith earnestness glints something sharper.

Sohrab Ahmari of The Wall Street Journal reports for NY1 on newly released book titles and the world of publishing in "The Book Reader."
Save for Great Britain, there are few countries in the world whose history is as closely tied to that of the United States as Liberia, the African nation created by freed slaves in the early 19th century. Yet the reader looking for an accessible and reliable history of Liberia would come up empty-handed—until now. James Ciment's "Another America" tells the story of Liberia, its origins in American idealism and racism, its tragic and violent fate.
In the early years of the republic, as former slaves became a permanent feature of U.S. life, American statesmen resolved to transfer them back to Africa. Free African-Americans were, as Senator Henry Clay put it, "useless and pernicious, if not dangerous" — better to send them to Africa to bring civilization and Christianity to that continent.
Thus was born the American Colonization Society, which raised funds from wealthy whites and received enthusiastic support from many opponents of slavery. A piece of land was eventually purchased from natives in Sierra Leone, and in 1824, the new country was born as Liberia, from the Latin for free.
The colonists gradually overcame the ravages of disease, and in 1847, they declared themselves independent of the tyrannical colonization society. But the colonists also denied suffrage to the country's native inhabitants; Americo-Librarians were widely accused of trafficking in slaves as late as the 1920s.
In 1990, Liberia's ethnic tensions exploded in civil war, one of the bloodiest in history, in which at least 100,000 died, children were forced to kill their parents and pregnant women were bayoneted. Today, the country has once again achieved a measure of stability.
As Mr. Ciment's well-researched book reminds us, slavery, America's peculiar institution, had ramifications far beyond our borders.

In recent years, Mumbaiĺs reputation as a city that is kind to revellers has taken a hit as it has become increasingly prone to giving in to its illiberal impulses. The hockey-stick-wielding cop Vasant Dhobleĺs rampage through the cityĺs bars and nightclubs last year in an ostensible attempt to rid it of all hints of moral degeneracy, and the stateĺs love-hate relationship with dance bars, are but two examples of Mumbaiĺs much-vaunted cosmopolitanism coming up against its apparently widening puritanical streak and losing. In a modest attempt to reclaim some urban spaces, the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation, along with the home department, has hired a consulting firm to study the stateĺs archaic hospitality laws and suggest a legal framework more befitting a modern city.
It was some of Maharashtraĺs outdated laws that lent a patina of legitimacy to Dhobleĺs crusade. For instance, Dhoble invoked an old rule that stated only 10 couples were allowed on a dance floor at one time to raid establishments. Another obscure rule exhumed by Dhoble permits only 78 people in a 500-sq-ft establishment and 166 in a 1,000-sq-ft enclosure. So Dhobleĺs efforts to preserve the moral integrity of Mumbai were technically well within his remit.
Mumbai, of course, creates an enabling environment for such archaic laws to be dug up and used in a context that has far outpaced them, but such absurd pieces of legislation exist on the statute books elsewhere, in the country too. But although India has had several reports by law commissions recommending the repeal of outdated laws passed before 1947, these have gone unimplemented, leaving many forgotten, and repressive, laws on the books for a Dhoble to uncover, much to our consternation. Last year, the UK struck off some 800 laws, some dating to the 14th century, including one covering the Indian Railways. What absurdities might we uncover if we were to undertake a similar exercise?

CF Industries Earnings More Than Double, But Fall Short of Estimates
3:25 PM MST | February 15, 2012 | Vincent Valk
CF Industries fourth-quarter 2011 earnings rose 219%, to $438.9 million, or $6.66/share, on sales up 39%, to $1.7 billion. Earnings fell short of analysts' consensus of $6.83/share, as reported by Thomson One (New York). Higher selling prices and margins accounted for the increase, as volumes fell, CF says. The fertilizer market "experienced normal seasonal demand softness in November and December," which was exacerbated by economic uncertainty and the euro crisis, the company adds. "Our selling discipline and focus on maximizing...

Evangelical and Pentecostal: what is the difference?
Is there a difference between "evangelical and "Pentecostal"?
The answer is yes and no. By evangelical what people in the United States generally mean refers to those Christians who believe in the essentials of the historic Christian Faith. That would be things such as the inerrancy and authority of the Bible (which is probably the most important), Diety and virgin birth of Jesus Christ along with His death, burial and resurrection, ascension to heaven, and His return. They believe in salvation by faith, the resurrection of the Christian's body, and the reality of Satan, angels, heaven and hell. In fact, the statement of faith at Newman Bible Academy fairly represents an evangelical view. Sometimes "evangelical" does means something different in other countries.
Now, what about Pentecostals? They also believe the same things as do evangelicals that I mentioned above, but Pentecostals place a large emphasis and focus on some things that evangelicals would either reject, or downplay. This includes the experiences of speaking in tongues, seeing visions, miracle healings, and things like this. Sometimes Pentecostal refers to a specific denomination or church with the word Pentecostal in the name. Other times it is an umbrella term that refers to all that hold to the distinctive I mentioned.
Let me muddy up the waters. There is also an umbrella term called Charismatic. These people may or may not be evangelical. The term generally refers to a movement within the more mainline churches – and even the Roman Catholic Church. They would emphasize the "gifts of the Spirit" that Pentecostal's do, but many may or may not believe the historic beliefs of the Christian Faith. By mainline churches I mean those denominations such as Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Methodist, Church of Christ, etc.
The mainline churches are generally classed as either evangelical or liberal. By liberal, I mean they do not believe the essentials of the historical Christian Faith.
Felicia, I hope this helps answer your question. Actually, I have answered more than your question; consequently, I should stop. Esmie tells me that I am too, "voluble," which means, I guess, that I talk too much. The picture can get even more complicated, but this is enough for now.
All the best, Felicia, and stay in touch. Tell your friends about the website. God bless.

Owners of Dell's 5" tablet in the UK were lucky to get their hands on a leaked pre-release version of Android 2.1 earlier this week. The hack, however, was only compatible with the O2 version of the device in the UK, so owners of the US counterpart released only 2 days ago on AT&T have been stuck with their new giant babies wearing an ancient 1.6 Donut diaper. To make matters worse, it looks like Dell decided to skip the 2.1 update altogether and go straight for 2.2, delaying the upgrade even longer.
Yesterday, a countdown showed up on SonyStyle's website, promising something "smarter was coming." Here's what it looked like:
The contour and image enhancement (cranking the brightness all the way up) all but confirmed that Xperia X10 was imminent. Sure enough, this informed guess was correct, and Xperia X10 is headed for AT&T. This will be AT&T's second high-end Android handset, and the first Android phone from Sony to launch here in the US.
Before Apple's iPhone and Google's Android OS burst onto the mobile device scene in 2007, there were few significant advances in mobile technology. Frankly, "smartphones" (if we could even call them that at the time) were boring: they did little more than email, general messaging, picture taking, some basic apps and games, rudimentary internet browsing, and enterprise integration.
The biggest players at the time were Microsoft Windows Mobile, RIM's Blackberry, Palm, Symbian, and Linux.
We're all aware that Android has been taking some flack for 'fragmentation' problems, and one of the more prominent contributing factors has been the breakneck pace of the update release cycle.
According to Android chief Andy Rubin, we can expect this cycle to slow down a bit to an Apple style release schedule of one update per year. I'm sure this comes as a huge relief to device manufacturers, especially those who have custom skinned versions of Android, as they'll now have more time to prep updates before the next one hits.

Cut Credit Card Debt: An 11-Step Program
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- One positive outcome from the economic downturn of the past two years is that consumers are paying down their credit card debt.
In November, Equifax (EFX) reported that credit card debt had declined 7.3% from a year ago. The latest Federal Reserve Consumer Credit said credit card debt fell in November for the 14th consecutive month. Revolving credit, the majority of which is credit card debt, has fallen more than $100 billion to $874 billion from $976.1 billion in October 2008.
A number of factors could be contributing to this trend. Millions of consumers have lost their jobs or experienced a significant decline in income. There also seems to be widespread consumer outrage with the changes made by credit card issuers. Last year was filled with interest rate increases, credit limit decreases and tightened credit by issuers. These were strong incentives for cardholders to cut back on their credit card usage and pay down their balances.
Even though the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act will help stabilize some rate increases, many cardholders are already stuck with high rates. The best way to protect yourself against these high rates is to pay off your balance. If you are unable to pay off that balance quickly, shop for the best credit card with the lowest annual percentage rate, or APR.Here are 11 tips to help you cut your credit card debt: 1. Accept that paying off debt won't be easy. It took you a while to get into debt, and it will probably take you longer to get out. Don't get discouraged. 2. Find out how much you owe. Collect your bills for outstanding debts, including those for credit cards, mortgages, student loans, car loans and bank loans. Create a summary sheet that lists the creditor, monthly payment, balance, interest rate and credit limit for each. List the status of each account, if any bills are past due, and verify the payment due dates. 3. Prioritize your bills. If money is short and you can't pay all of your monthly bills, first pay the bills that are necessary for health, shelter, groceries and basic transportation. Then pay secured loans, such as your car loan. Payments on unsecured loans, such as credit cards, should come last in dire situations.

Muscle cars driven by pec-flexing guys watched by girls in hotpants… you'd think the Fast And The Furious franchise would've run out of gas by now. Think again.
This latest instalment, beginning immediately where the previous episode left off, is like The Avengers for F&F fans.
With disparate characters from past episodes recalled to duty, it's like Dominic Torreto (Vin Diesel) says to now-pregnant sis Mia (Jordana Brewster): "The family just got bigger."
Still, getting bigger is what this car-crunching franchise is all about – and on that score FF5 doesn't disappoint. Forget FF4's opening gas-tanker heist. Here, we've barely taken our seats before Mia and ex-cop boyfriend Brian (Paul Walker) have busted Dom out of the prison bus we last left him on.
Say what you like about director Justin Lin's lack of subtlety (or understanding of the laws of physics), but he knows how to kick-start an action movie.
Heading to Rio with intent to lay low, the trio then take a job for cash – hijacking three cars from a moving train in the film's stand-out sequence. But double-crossed by their Brazilian partners, led by ruthless drug overlord Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida), the gang is falsely fingered for the murders of three US DEA agents on the train.
Enter tank-like federal super-cop Luke Hobbs (tank-like Dwayne Johnson), who storms into Rio to take them down. But can he do it before Dom and co – backed by an F&F dream team – pull off One Last Job?
With writer Chris Morgan carving his Brazilian villains from a boxset of Latino clichés, the influx of old friends is highly welcome. In particular, 2 Fast 2 Furious alumni Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris bag some choice lines, fuel-injecting the film with much-needed laughs. But the big arrival, of course, is Johnson.
Repeatedly going toe-to-toe with Diesel, as they're auditioning for The Expendables 2, The Rock slots into this universe of dick-swinging machismo with ease – though a late-breaking character development will likely summon as many jeers as cheers.
Other toe-curling moments – from Lin's tourist board aerial shots of Rio to Dom's unconvincing chemistry with a Brazilian female cop (Elsa Pataky) – ensure this is no mould-breaker. But this being his third F&F in a row, Lin knows his crowd.
A brief visit to Rio's street-racing scene shows he hasn't forgotten the franchise's origins, even if this at times feels more like The Italian Job with better cars.
And the finale – which leaves half of downtown Rio in tatters – sums up this series: full-throttle action that doesn't care how preposterous it is.
Full of foot-to-the-floor action, bikini babes and gleaming hoods, /FF5/ makes no attempt to adjust the formula. But why should it? Converts may be scarce, but fans will lap up its major-league mayhem. Oh, and stay for the end-credits cliffhanger…
Fast & Furious 5 Jordana Brewster Justin Lin Ludacris Paul Walker Total Film tyrese gibson Vin Diesel

So you want to raise money at ASU?
The ASU Foundation wants to help!
First, let's answer a few questions:
What is the ASU Foundation?
The ASU Foundation ensures the success of Arizona State University as a New American University by supporting all fundraising at ASU. The foundation's Office of Annual Giving provides assistance to students, staff and faculty who would like to raise money for a project.
Do I have to use the foundation to raise money?
In order for your donors to be able to claim their gifts as charitable contributions, yes. Better yet, the ASU Foundation has the experience, resources and tools needed to connect with supporters and successfully raise funds in support of ASU.
Really? So exactly what can you do for me?
IRS regulations, stewardship, gift receipts, data analysis, online giving, donor segmenting, crowdfunding, social media strategies: there can be a lot to consider when it comes to fundraising. The ASU Foundation can help you manage all of the above and more — we're here to help.
Let's work together on behalf of ASU
The process for raising money may differ depending on all sorts of factors: funding need, existing resources, potential audience ... there's no one, cookie-cutter way to connect with supporters. There are tools, strategies and best practices for fundraising, however — and the ASU Foundation can provide you with those resources.
Here's how to get started:
For what projects or activities can the foundation help raise money?
We can help with all kinds of projects and activities that have a beneficial link to ASU, and would love to discuss the details of your fundraising wants and needs. Contact us at 480-965-6754 to get the conversation started.
What can't be counted as a charitable contribution through the ASU Foundation?
You can't raise money for an individual student to cover tuition or travel costs.
You can't hold a raffle or other game of chance.
To ensure your fundraising efforts follow IRS regulations and can be counted by your donors as a charitable contribution, contact the Office of Annual Giving at 480-965-6754.
What about crowdfunding?
We got this.
The ASU Foundation is out in front when it comes to crowdfunding and is building one of the few programs in the country devoted to students, staff and faculty who want to use the power of personal networks and digital tools to raise money for ASU projects and organizations.
Why use the ASU Foundation for crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is not as easy as waving a magic wand or setting up a website,
but the ASU Foundation's program is designed to provide the help and tools you'll need to raise funds in support of your project or organization at ASU.
Contact the ASU Foundation's Office of Annual Giving to learn more about PitchFunder, ASU's crowdfunding program: 480-965-6754.
Ready to start crowdfunding? Apply to the program here: http://pitchfunder.asufoundation.org/apply

This accelerator gives student entrepreneurs the opportunity to develop their innovative ideas, launch viable businesses and advance their enterprises. http://studentventures.asu.edu/
For tax-reporting purposes, the ASU Foundation does not allow the following language to be used in fundraising: tax-deductible, complimentary, free.
For information on what qualifies as a charitable contribution (which indicates the types of funds the ASU Foundation can accept), quid pro quo contributions, fair market value and rules on insubstantiality, go to: irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p526.pdf and type your query into the search engine.
ASUF tax disclaimer:
All funds will be deposited with the ASU Foundation for A New American University, a nonprofit organization that exists to support Arizona State University (ASU).

" This nonsense of recruiting, providing financial assistance, transferring to different high schools, including living with coaches ( just helping out the poor urban kid, ya' know) has been going on for years. Glad to see someone finally getting caught. High school football is taken way too seriously by these coaches, parents, and communities. If the same amount of effort was given to academic success, we'd have all geniuses. "

Jordan co-founder Sally Jordan shares the story of how she and Tom Jordan discovered legendary winemaker André Tchelistcheff, then set out on a mission to convince him to become our consulting winemaker in the mid-1970s. The Jordans loved French wines and never expected to make wine in California — until they tasted a Beaulieu Vineyards Georges de Latour Cabernet Sauvignon made by Tchelistcheff. Considered America's most influential post-Prohibition winemaker, Tchelistcheff and his winemaking legacy live on at Jordan through Winemaker Rob Davis, who has crafted every vintage of Jordan since the inaugural 1976 and was mentored by Tchelistcheff until 1992.

JESSE WILLIAMS, actor (Grey's Anatomy)
How have you been spending your summer?
Traveling to Paris, Cannes, St. Tropez, London, NYC, Johannesburg & Capetown for the World Cup, and spending time with family.
Best memories?
Traveling through France with my fiancee, especially exploring Paris. Getting into trouble during World Cup and having a great time with friends and family.
Most exciting thing that happened to you?
Getting the offer to be a series regular on Grey's Anatomy.
Have you picked up any hobbies?
I have actually: Golf. I've always been an athlete, and hadn't really explored golf before. I was invited to play in the ESPY's Celebrity Golf Tourney so I practiced and worked hard so as not to embarrass myself or anyone in my vicinity. Now I'm kind of hooked. Eating tacos is also a summer hobby of mine.
What has been inspiring you culturally?
I've been exploring the work of several talented up-and-coming painters. Particularly Noah Davis, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Whitfield Lovell, and the more seasoned work of Debra Grant among others. Checking out some cool new bands like Caveman and Wales. I love food, and I was invited to be a judge for the Los Angeles Street Food competition this summer at the Rose Bowl. I ate from about 60 vendors and really enjoyed a badass performance by this all girl-band called Warpaint that closed out the evening.
Most looking forward to this fall?
I'm very honored to be this fall's Artist-in-Residence in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, where I've been invited to star in a weekend of historical theater on September 25th, 2010. And of course, I am very excited for this season of Grey's Anatomy. This is my first full season on a TV show and I could not be luckier; we finished last season with a truly tremendous finale and are picking right back up where we left off.

5 Stocks Under $10 Poised for Upside
An under-$10 name in the chemical manufacturing complex that's started to trigger a major breakout trade is Rentech (RTK), which owns and operates a nitrogen fertilizer plant in East Dubuque, Illinois, that manufactures and sells natural gas-based nitrogen fertilizer products within the corn-belt region in the U.S. This stock is off to a monster start in 2012 with shares up 74%.
If you take a look at the chart for Rentech, you'll notice that this stock has been a winning trade for the bulls over the last six months. During that timeframe, shares of Rentech have soared from a low of $1.26 to its recent high of $2.30 a share. During that monster run-up, shares of Rentech have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action.
>>5 Stocks Setting Up to Break OutThat move has now pushed Rentech into breakout territory since the stock moved above some near-term overhead resistance on monster volume. On Thursday, Rentech broke out above some overhead resistance at $2.20 to $2.22 on volume of 4.9 million shares. That volume easily surpassed its three-month average action of 2.32 million shares. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in RTK as long as it's trending above $2.10 to $2.20 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 2.38 million shares as bullish action. If this breakout that triggered on Thursday is the real deal, then this stock should easily continue to uptrend and tag $3 to $4 a share in the near future. A move to $4 will only come into play if the past resistance at $3 is taken out on a closing basis with volume. If you're bullish on RTK, and you get a chance to buy this stock off of weakness, then I would use $2.20 as my mental stop. Any high-volume move below $2.20 would take this stock off my long radar since chances are high that it will move back towards $2 a share at the minimum. This stock isn't heavily shorted, with just 3.2% of its float sold short, but the bears have been increasing their bets on RTK from the last reporting period by 14.3% or by about 895,000 shares. The breakout on Thursday could have been the start of some serious short-covering, so make sure to have this name on your breakout radar going forward.
