If you follow my instructions, you'll have to work hard to screw things up. It's really not that scary once you get into it.
I've spent an entire career designing, developing and patenting metal, engineered plastic and vinyl products. I know plastics, their strengths and weaknesses. I also know how to fix things. This is one of those fixes.
I'm also not responsible for any disasters that might befall you. If you try this and somehow manage to screw it up, don't blame me. Use caution and common sense. It works for me and that's all I can attest to.
That being said... Let's begin:
Hopefully, most records you pick up at yard sales, Goodwill and flea markets can be brought back to new using standard cleaning methods. This is only for those discs that still have elevated levels of pops and clicks due to physical damage due to accident, neglect or abuse.
The record in the first photo is one such case. When I pulled it from the jacket, I could see immediately it had gone through a rough life. Under the microscope, the grooves were embedded with crud and the lands (the space between the grooves) showed signs of extreme wear with hundreds of vinyl "deflections" along the edges of the grooves.
To answer your question - we would need to know how the particular record was mastered before you can calculate. You can fit varying degrees of information on an LP depending on if you are playing at 33.3 or 45. Even that known, some companies have tried to squeeze more grooves on a record. Thinking of those K-Tel records with some over half an hour on each side.
Ha I don't think I have that one - but I do have a few Python LP's - which I should really check! - The one record I know I have which has the double groove - is by De La soul - a hip hop group from the late 80s - they put out a limited ed. single called Me Myself and I - with what they term '
Oblapos Mode' for the doubled groove. It wasn't the best thing for when you wanted to cue something live - but you reminded me of this cool little vinyl gimmick ! It is a 12" single itself - not an album - and plays 6 minutes for the one track and 3 minutes for the other on a whole side. The other side is a single track.
There is also a rare LP by Rush called Rush 'N Roulette that had 6 grooves on either side of the record.
Firstly, I want to thank you for this great material. I was searching for something like this for more than a year. I'll give it a try as soon as I will be able to find the proper sand paper. I would like to ask you a few questions. What kind of paste should i use to make my records shine again after the sanding process ? One other thing is setting my anti-skating mechanism on my turntable. From my searches, I think i need a blank vinyl but i don't know where I can buy one. Can you help me in this matter. Thanks a lot.
You can get much finer sand paper a any auto paint supply store.

Question: How much mileage do you get out of single sheet of 1500 grit sandpaper.
BTW I've seen up to 4000 grit paper available for the "polishing" you mentioned. and a quick eBay search found a 6 sheet pack 1x1500,2000,2500,3000(Wet or Dry) and 2x4000(Light Wet or Dry)Grit for $5.50 delivered. (5.5"x9" sheets)
or 7 sheets 1x1000,1500,2000,2500,3000,5000grit(Wet or Dry), 4000grit(Light Wet or Dry ) for $7 delivered
Rather than holding the sandpaper with your hand would it make more sense and be more effective to wrap it around something flexible which can conform to the any cupping that the record may have? Or it the visual dulling that reults from the sanding sufficient to show "low" areas that didn't get sanded much?
I've buffed out surface scratches with a dremel tool . Then you can use a larger tool such as car polisher wheel to make the surface shine again. In my experience, you don't need any chemicals. The sandpaper is a good idea - then just buff the surface if you don't like the texture left behind.
What we're doing here is reconditioning the record. I hope people aren't trying to pass them off as new.
Thanks for your intelligent comments. I never considered buffing.
Thanks alot - it's all about sharing - right? But I have redacted the comments about tools I use for now as I have thought about your concern and it's an issue to me if people use these techniques to pass off used vinyl as new.
I'm not losing any sleep over it and neither should you. There'll always be people who choose to emulate the taker, not the giver. And able to rationalize their deceit while believing they're good people in the same way everyone believes they're a good driver. I suppose a person's ethics primarily depends on the ethics of his or her parents. So let the buyer beware. The world is what it is. I truly enjoy your comments and admire your thought process. Keep doing the creative work.
Help! I've got a record that won't play the first track. It was skipping very badly to the point it wasn't even worth listening to. It had what appeared to be only surface scratches, so I power washed it. That didn't work so I tried sanding the track with 1500 grit. I'm concerned that I used too much pressure because now it skips over entire sections of the first track, however, I used this method on another record and it worked fine. After sanding I tried playing the track and putting a little pressure on the needle to see if I was able to hear more of the track. I was! I'm willing to try whatever anyone can suggest to try to fix the record because at this point I've got nothing to lose and I don't care what the record looks like if it will play. If all else fails I'll go buy a more expensive copy at the record shop downtown! :)
Please cite these multiple places. To answer your question in a general practical sense - no Water will only destroy certain labels on a record. And temperature plays a part in destroying vinyl. Too cold - shatter - too hot, warpage. Other than that - Water is your friend. Just don't PLAY a vinyl LP wet. While this is common practice with DJ's in Jamaica who have to constantly spray their records to keep cool when out in the hot sun spinning.. not a good idea for the collector. Washing your records and drying them effectively is fine and recommended. If your vinyl was trapped at the bottom of a water fall - over time , just like the rocks they will be broken down.
There may be chemicals in tap water that may erode vinyl, but it wouldn't be enough to do enough damage to your records in your lifetime, your children's lifetime or your grandchildren's lifetime... Unless there's something seriously wrong with your water.
Minerals may be present that could possibly damage your records if they were allowed to stay there when they're being played. I always brush my records with a carbon fiber brush and a disc washer brush with fluid every time I play them. If some hard mineral were to be left in a groove, when the needle runs over it, the heat may be enough to partially melt the vinyl around the obstruction and embed it into the record. This is what happened to a Peter, Paul and Mary album I picked up. All of my methods to clean the grooves couldn't get a fair amount of the embedded stuff out of the grooves. I just wood-glued the surface and that seemed to get 99.9% of it out.
Your other question about drying will fit in here: After washing, I blot my records with a micro fiber cloth then lean them up to dry. When dry, I run the micro fiber cloth over them again, which seems to help.
Now this is me, but after I get them as clean as possible, I spot check them out with the microscope, just to know what's going on.
btw, you'll only have to do this extraordinary power wash, block & bar, sanding, and/or wood glue work once for the records.you pick up. After they've been restored, they'll last forever with no additional "deep" cleaning. Disc washer should be all you'll need if they're well cared for.
Before I play my albums (every time), I simply run a carbon fiber brush around them and then disc wash them. A few seconds of work that may not be necessary, but it seems to fulfill a deep need for some indefinable satisfaction.:)
The other photos are before and after sanding of my wood glued PP&M. You can clearly see the nicks and bumps along the edge of the groove in the before photo. The record is impeccably clean, but all those potholes make for a lousy listen.
I sanded PP&M, power washed it once more and ran my block and bar cleaner over it. You can see the black vinyl sanding dust on the blue tack in the photo. There are still two or three random clicks, most likely from stuff the glue didn't get, but those can be checked with the hand held microscope and worked on individually. Otherwise, the record sounds great.
Thanks for your questions. I'm not an expert, but the techniques I've developed over the years work very, very well for me.
is the loneliest number that you ever saw
Wow! That sounds like an incredible machine you have there. Have you made an instructable of it yet? It'd be interesting to conpare results between your machine and hand sanding. I'd bet your invention would produce consistent results. Great comment and keep up the good work. Please add some pictures.
I used an old direct drive AKAI turntable and converted it into a record sander. First step was to remove the governor and get more torque out of the motor. allowing me to manually control the speed. Second was a small PIC controller and a stepper motor, that i currently control manually but plan on shifting every 3 rotations. The business end is basically taking the place of the cartridge. Its a very dense sponge cut to accommodate a sanding pad.Weight is the total weight of the tone arm the sponge and the sandpaper. The sandpaper I used was 800 fine, wet on contact and the platter was running at a fairly high speed 100-150rpm roughly. I used car soap and vinyl polish mixed together during the sanding process and after a through wash and dry I popped it onto my regular turntable and was astounded how it sounded compared to the condition I found the record in.
Just out of curiosity, you wouldn't happen to know what Monty Python record that was would you? I wouldn't mind trying to find it just for that rather novel feature... :)
Matching Tie & Handkerchief
Cool, thanks!! :D
I just did some math based on very loose estimates and came up with the groove length on one side of the album to be 4480 ft. Probably way off, haha.
I'll consider your answer to be close enough and I haven't given anything away lately, so I'm sending you a 3 month pro membership just because you did the work and brought a little joy into my life. Thanks for the comment.
Is there any way for me to fix this. Because I don't want to have to buy another copy of this album.
BTW, I think the length of a groove is about 2181 feet.
I don't know if I can be of any help, but first I'd like to ask a few questions. I'll make the assumption that these are home-made recordings, popular before wire and tape recorders became affordable? Of those, I know of those records, made from paper with a thin plastic coating and metal with a thin plastic coating. There may have been a hard, masonite-like material that could have been celluloid as well. Is your record any of these?
To help save time, I've pulled a couple of records that fit your description. The first,
I'll call "stage 1 deterioration" and the second, well... pretty bad.
Do either of these look like your records? (these are an aluminum disc covered with what looks like vinyl. Paper discs were usually lighter in color, with graphics printed on them and a clear coating over that)
I'm sorry I don't have that piece any more. You're comment has me thinking of looking for a better way to do the sanding however, so when I ( if I ) get through with my current time-eating project, I'll do the instructable and pm you for your address.
Now, if the damage is a scratch, and you hear it over and over, then sanding may work, but I have 2 caveats for you:
1. If the scratch is deep, you won't get all of it out. Sanding is a compromise between hearing the clicks and pops and the sound quality. Sanding records as I describe in my Instructables will not hurt sound quality one bit, but once you begin to significantly reduce the depth of the groove, the bass will suffer and your music will begin to sound like MP3s on cheap speakers.
2. If your damage isn't scratch related, but you dulled the finish of your album, then sanding will only make it worse. A sanded album will never have the high gloss of a pristine record. What sanding does is sacrifice the surface sheen in order to remove the rough edges of the grooves. Messed up edges are the culprit for 90% of the clicks and pops that remain even after cleaning.
That being said, I've never ruined a record by sanding it's surface (other than those I used for destructive limit tests). I've also improved the sound quality of every record I've sanded, but when scratches go very deep, it becomes a choice between the quality of the sound and the elimination of the pop.
Oh, and one more suggestion: If the damage is only one scratch, I would lightly sand the area around it by hand. There's no need to sand the entire record for a single scratch.
Good luck. I hope my ideas can help you to enjoy your music.
I order two pieces of 1500, 2000 and 2500 grit of sand paper and ordered a 40x magnifying-glass. I will start with 1500 for the first time and maybe finish with 2500 to keep a better shine on the record, but that is something I have to try. Normally when I buy vinyl, the first thing I will do is wash it and put it in new good jackets. I am really looking forward to test the sand procedure, I will first try it on old vinyl.
I will post an update once I have results.

Eagle film Pvt Ltd's Jeannie Aur Juju on SAB TV will witness a very interesting track wherein Jeannie (Giaa Manek) will have to renew her license for continuing her magic! Just like we all have a driving license to drive, for doing magic the Jeannies too have a license.
Also in the upcoming episodes, Guddi Maruti will come as the inspector Jin Jalebi who will access and examine Jeannie.
Our source informs us that, "Jia (Neha Mehta) will ask Jeannie whether she has renewed her license for continuing her magic and Jeannie says that she hasn't been to Jin land and also didn't get inside the bottle so her license has expired. Soon Jin Jalebi who is a very firm and strict inspector will come and inspect Jeannine and the way Juju (Ali Asgar) helps Jennie in getting her magic license"
When contacted Giaa Manek she said, "It's a very hilarious episode as Jeannie will have to get her license to continue with her magic."
This particular episode will go on air in the coming week.

|I've been thinking about doing a table with Butterflies since last year. I found these place mats at Big Lots last week and thought they would work with what I already had.
Since Earth Day was near I thought it was the perfect time for this table.
The tc is from a Thrift Store. The chargers and cups and saucers I got from resale stores, and the green plates are from DT.
I hope everyone has a good weekend.

|That is perfect for Earth Day! Tomorrow? Butterflies are always so beautiful & I love the salad plates you found! Your t'cloth is a good find for this table, too...as the woven placemats! The flatware & chargers go so good tog! Pretty cups & saucers! TFS, nana...very cool Earth Day t'scape! Jeanne S.
|Nana, wow, what a pretty butterfly 'Earth Day' table. Everything about it is lovely. The colors are so bright and cheerful. Amazing how you have so many colors that match.
Butterflies always make me smile with their beauty and yours are gorgeous. Your butterfly house is so neat too. Love those butterfly cups. Great job layering from your pm on up. Wonderful pattern edge on your chargers. Napkins are neat angled on this table.
DH's BDay is tomorrow sp we will spend the day with a BBQ for friends and family and enjoy cake and ice cream. I still need to make his homemade German Choc. cake so best get off here and get it done.
Thanks for sharing another wonderful ts.

|I love butterflies and your table is very welcoming and warm! Perfect for Earth Day.
|Lovely table setting. I love butterflies in any shape or size! The cups are so cute! I did my part for earth day, cleaned up the street across from my house to the corner as it is side yard of lady's property & as usual they don't keep it up since they can't see it from their house so 3-4 times a year I go out & trim off her vines getting in the street & remove weeds that start in the edge of asphalt & put a little Roundup to kill the ones I can't get out completely. So did 2 evenings work & have just 12 ft of leaves to pick up yet but both of my trash cans are full & waiting for trash guys tomorrow. Hope to finish up tomorrow night! City is supposed to fine people that don't take care of that- right, I'm still waiting after 40 yrs!! Worth it to enjoy a nice view looking down the street when it's all done-reward enough! Great exercise for upper arms too!!Jan
|Nana...what a pretty table for Earth Day.
Your butterfly cups & saucers and Walmart salad plates compliment ea other nicely.
I like how you layered you dishes and the color combinations you chose.
The green TC with the purple placemats and all the colorful butterflies look so striking...
Your butterfly house fits in perfectly too!
Thanks for adding some sunshine to my very rainy day!
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Mon, Apr 23, 12 at 16:30
|You sure come up with some great ideas, Nana. This is lovely. I like those cups/saucers and they complement the plates and make it all fun. I used to have a butterfly house, what a great idea to use your's in this tablescape. Bet you had fun collecting all the items to put this together. Thanks for sharing it with us, I too love butterflies.
Sunnyca, I too have a house across the street like that although mine not quite as much as yours. I used to go clean up the magnolia leaves in the street but couldn't do anything about the weeds. He finally hired a gardener so now it gets "mowed and blowed" and looks lots better! LOL
- Posted by oldalgebra (My Page) on Mon, Apr 23, 12 at 21:23
|Gee, I've been absent for a few days and look what crops up! This is so pretty. Those dishes are WONDERFUL! And you pulled together some very pretty color combinations. Nice job, nana.
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 12 at 3:24
|That is delightful, Nana. I can't believe what pretty butterfly dishes you found. I don't think I've even seen any before! The tea cups are especially sweet, I have a very soft spot for pretty tea cups and have to restrain myself from yet another collection!
hugs, Karen
|Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
I had so many ideas flitting around in my mind for this table That I was getting dizzy [dizzier lol].
Then I remembered I had this tc and it started to come together.
sunnyca, It is so good of you to clean up your neighbor's property.
OA, I saw your Earth Day table on Kathleen's 'let's dish'
and on your blog. I love it.
For some reason I can't leave a comment on your blog.
Thank you all again
|Your table come together wonderfully! I wonder if they still have the salad plates at WM? I'd love some - I'm a sucker for butterflies! I got some similar to the floral supply ones you have - from Pier One last year after Christmas. They had clips on them and were considered ornaments. I used a green jeweled butterfly ornament clipped to a fuzzy hat in the St. Patrick's Day parade this year! Thanks for sharing!
- Posted by oldalgebra (My Page) on Wed, Apr 25, 12 at 19:45
|I"m thinking about doing a Cinco de Mayo table. Nana, where do you live?
Do you gals who live in the East celebrate Cinco de Mayo?
|Neesie, My butterflies have clips on them too, but they were sold for the summer season.
I got them and the salad plates last Spring.
OA, I live in PA. I think more people have been celebrating Cinco de Mayo here in the East in the past few years.

|Nana, thought I had posted on this but guess I didn't. Things have been too hetcic here lately. I love your butterflies.and your table came together so nicely. Love the butterfly house. I had one in my yard up on the mountain, but I didn't move it down here. Just too much to do and too little energy to do it I reckon. You always have such great ideas. We have quite a large population of Mexican/Latin Am farm workers here in the mountains, but I have never celebrated Cinco de Mayo and really don't know of anyone locally who does. May have to think about starting though--love the colorful dishes that are used. TFS Janet

|What a pretty butterfly table, I love those plates, Nana!
I love the colors you used, so festive!
We don't celebrate Cinco here, just a few bars will do something to draw a crowd. But it falls on Derby Day this year, so people will have Derby Day parties.
That being said, I did a Cinco Table for the blog. We celebrate everything there! :)

BY APPOINTMENT: Roberto Cavalli is launching a made-to-measure service for clients who want that certain cocktail, evening or wedding dress in tune with the spirit of the Italian fashion house. Called Roberto Cavalli Saint-Honoré, the service will offer entirely handmade dresses in a special private space above the Rue Saint-Honoré store. No more than 35 dresses are to be produced each year, with prices starting at 30,000 euros, or $41,950, for a cocktail dress. Roberto Cavalli's wife, Eva, held a press conference in Paris Monday and stressed that the collection isn't the start of a couture collection, but an extension of a service the house has been offering for red-carpet and other relevant events. "Clients who want a special outfit from Cavalli now will know that they can obtain it," she said.

Displaying the full path of the active file in the title of the window would be a bit time saver for me.
I wish i could multiple times on this one.
Another option is showing the full path in the status bar at the bottom. This is the only thing I wish for when using Sublime Text.
This would be a big helpt to me if it could display the correct file path for a remote file. I have to work directly off remote web servers daily and not having the file path causes problems.
I'm with Tom; I'd give all my votes to this request if we had multiple.
Would also be great if the full path could be copied to the clipboard.
jan otte posted 8 months ago
It is build into core ST.
Right click on the body of the open file (not the tab the bit with the text in it).
There is what you want right there on the menu and it has been there for years.
This isn't quite the same, although it's very helpful. But to see the path, you have to copy it and then paste it somewhere. It would be even more convenient if you could just have the path displayed, and not have to copy it and paste it first.
Needed badly indeed.
Looks like ST2 now has this setting starting from build 2195:
Added show_full_path setting, to control if the full path is shown in the window title
Try adding the following to your user preferences:
// Show the full path to files in the title bar. // On OS X, this value is overridden in the platform specific settings, so // you'll need to place this line in your user settings to override it. "show_full_path": true,
Worked for me on OS X (10.8)
* Please note that the last comma is only needed if it's not the last setting line.
Thanks :)
Or maybe at the end of the screen, just after line xx column xx and before tab size and the name of the type of the file.

Many external music devices come in the well-known 19" format.
For instance, I've got a rather old Behringer 19" mixer (20 channel, 8xmono,
6xstereo), a Novation DrumStation (19"), and I am planning to
get myself a Delta 1010. Now, can anyone suggest
a supplier for 19" chassis? I've recently cut my hand
at the sharp edge of my Novation, and I finally decided
I have to put all this stuff into one neat thing.
Web research doesnt really reveal anything useful, and so
I figured I'd ask you guys, I am sure some of you
actually have 19" chassis. Any experience? Where do I get
such things? A way to tilt the stuff
by 45 degree would be very cool.

Yes, there are more local band battles than groupies at Churchill's. But the Fort Lauderdale-based Ghost of Gloria is poised to win a big-deal national one. The Hard Rock chain has, over the past few months, sponsored its own "Ambassadors of Rock" series. Its locations across the country held their own local battles, with the competitors aiming at a performance slot on a major festival in London.
The Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood held its first installment this past April 16. The radio-ready active rock quartet Ghost of Gloria won the first heat and then again came out on top at the regional finals April 30.
The band's strategy, says lead singer/guitarist John D'Angelo, was not to pack the venue with fans but to concentrate on giving the best performance possible. "With these kinds of battles, you can put all your eggs into it and say it's the biggest thing in your life," he says, "or you can treat it like a gig. We didn't have any expectations and performed the best we could."
A tape of Ghost of Gloria's winning April 30 performance was sent, along with videos of the 21 other North American finalists, to a panel of judges. And these are people known for their taste in music: Live Nation VP of promotions Toby Leighton-Pope, Planet Rock DJ Nicky Horne, Spin magazine editor Doug Brod, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, and the awesome "Little" Steven Van Zandt, who was head judge of the whole thing.
They watched the tapes and chose the five best. Not surprising to fans, Ghost of Gloria came out among the finalists. And here's where the band needs a local push. The Hard Rock "Ambassadors of Rock" official website is now hosting performance videos of all five finalists. Check them out and then vote (local, please). The prize package is a serious deal: round-trip airfare to London, three nights in a hotel there, cash, and a slot in the Hard Rock Calling festival in London. Also on that bill: some little acts you might have heard of — the Killers, Dave Matthews Band, Neil Young, and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, among others.
At press time, Rudy Vaughn, from Atlanta, leads in votes, with Ghost of Gloria in fourth. To watch the band's performance video and cast your vote, visit battle.ambassadorsofrock.com.

Provident Financial Holdings Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2013 Earnings
The average balance of investment securities decreased by $3.0 million, or 12 percent, to $21.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $24.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease was attributable to principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities during the last 12 months. The average yield on investment securities decreased 15 basis points to 2.02 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from 2.17 percent for the same quarter of fiscal 2012. The decline in the average yield was primarily attributable to the downward repricing of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities.
In November 2012, the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") – San Francisco announced a partial redemption of excess capital stock held by member banks and a cash dividend. As a result, a total of $2.0 million of excess capital stock was redeemed at par and a $137,000 cash dividend was received by the Bank in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. This is comparable to the same quarter last year when the Bank received a $1.2 million stock redemption and a $20,000 cash dividend.
The average balance of the Company's interest-earning deposits, primarily cash with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, increased $75.2 million, or 131 percent, to $132.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $57.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012. The Bank maintains high levels of cash and cash equivalents in response to the uncertain operating environment and to fund its mortgage banking operations. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits was 0.25 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, unchanged from the same period in fiscal 2012 and lower than the yield that could have been earned if the excess liquidity was deployed in loans or investment securities.
Average deposits decreased $5.7 million to $949.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $955.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012. The average cost of deposits decreased by 20 basis points to 0.71 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from 0.91 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher costing time deposits repricing to lower current market interest rates and a reduction in rates paid on transaction account balances ("core deposits"). Core deposits increased by $13.6 million, or three percent, to $509.2 million at December 31, 2012 from $495.6 million at December 31, 2011, consistent with the Bank's strategy to decrease the percentage of time deposits in its deposit base and to increase the percentage of lower cost checking and savings accounts. Time deposits decreased $32.3 million, or seven percent, to $426.0 million at December 31, 2012 from $458.3 million at December 31, 2011.

Volkl V-Tac Overgrip, how thick is it?
Hi all,
Prefering tacky overgrips, I would like to know how thick is this overgrip compared to Tourna Tac?
cant compare it to tourna, but it is pretty thick IMO
give it a try, it's an under-rated grip IMO
Thanks, I will. However, I found some information it should be .45 mm...can anybody describe the orange color, to which other racquet or overgrip orange does it match best?
Thanks again...

Did anyone happen to see this article? This will depress you, but make you like Tom Hanks even more. http://www.vulture.com/2013/04/leadi...ests-dont.html
For people who don't shop at Chico's and Coldwater Creek type places, where do you shop? I don't shop there either (my MIL shops at Coldwater Creek!), but I also don't shop at Aberstinky and Stench, Forever 21, or really anywhere in the mall besides Dillards on occasion.
I don't work in an office setting, so most of my clothes these days tend to come from Kohl's, Target, and Lands End's more sporty stuff. I also will buy lots of colors of the same shirt if I find something I really like, or several pairs of the same jeans if I find some that fit great.
I used to get a lot of clothes at Eddie Bauer because I've always been more into preppy and outdoors/sporty clothing (I'm kind of a tom-boy), but I don't like their clothes very much anymore. Either I got old, or they, like everyone else, started gearing their stuff to people in their late 20s/early 30s.
I'm 42, married for 22 years, and have no children. I am way more comfortable now with my age than I was when I turned 37. 37 was the hard year for me for some reason. But that article I mentioned above really was depressing. It makes me want to start boycotting movies where the leading lady should be playing the daughter of the leading man instead of his love interest.

I also turn 40 in July and I am dreading it. I am a single mom with two young (8 and 6) kids and this next birthday is just not something I am looking forward to. I know I look younger than I am but still. Yuck.

I turned 40 last June, and it's not so bad. (I turned 40 on our family vacation -- our first Disney cruise -- nobody can be miserable on Castaway Cay! That definitely took the sting out of it a little.)
I have never been a fashion plate but I don't think I look worse now than I did in my 30 -- and maybe a little better. I've lost a bit of weight and have been exercising more. I work from home so I mainly live in t-shirts/shorts/jeans. However, a lot of my "nice clothes" come from Ann Taylor or Ann Taylor Loft.

I will be 40 in a month and I am looking forward to it! Age is just a number to me. I have a wonderful 10 year old daughter, an amazing older (45) husband and have some great friends and a decent job- what's to be afraid of? I love my life.
I still feel like a college student and pretty much dress like one too! I still wear my birkenstocks, my levi jeans and a sweatshirt and hardly ever style my hair or wear makeup. I shop at Target and JCP and still love Disney as much as I did when I was a kid. I'm 20 pounds heavier than I was when I was in college, but I'm comfortable where I am. I acutally feel better about myself then I did in my 20's.

To the OP, turning 40 isn't a bad thing. By then we've established who we are and what we stand for and won't stand for, and live our lives accordingly. I think I felt a little relief when I turned 40 - the hard part was over! To me personally, the hardest thing was that my body started to slowly deteriorate; at first it was little things (magnified by a difficult menopause!) but has now developed into a full-fledged neurological problem, but I'm dealing with it and my doctor says my attitude is major factor in the success of my treatment.
Embrace and enjoy your birthday - it's the beginning of an exciting new phase of your life! Many good wishes for 40 more great years!

I'm 41 and I admit I'm struggling in the clothing area. I pick stuff out and then rethink it, thinking its too young. Like right now I have 2 graduations this month, one is my DS's HS graduation, so I go look at dresses and then think I'm looking at ones that are too young then I look at say Ann Taylor and they are too old, I'm stuck! I have longer hair too, the only one who gives me crap about it is my dad. I told him I'll cut it when Brooke Shields cuts hers!

I turn 40 in June, and you think you have it bad -- I'm going to be a first time mom 3 months after that. Talk about feeling old compared to all the moms in my neighborhood. But on the flip side, had two toddlers here this weekend, and yes...it was tiring, but I also had about 100 times more patience for them than I did with my nieces and nephews when I was 20-30.
I'm not sure, however, where people are getting this idea of what you can and can't do now that you're 40. I think it's pretty widely accepted now that you don't have to go for the helmet cut and sport cullotes. What I DO think is that people can pretty quickly spot the "desperate" 40 year old -- who dresses like they're 20 b/c they're desperate to BE 20, desperately seeks validation from the opposite sex b/c they're terrified their looks are going, parties perpetually like they're at a frat function, etc. I've especially seen the latter a few times and it is painful how they need to prove what great fun they're having (and usually acting like obnoxious jerks in the process). Seriously, if a person's life and relationships at 40 are in as much chaos as a confused 20 year old, then why wouldn't they want to grow up?
On the flip side, I don't think people give much of a glance at people who seem comfortable in their own skin. Whether you're dressing in so-called "young" fashion or just comfort, going out or staying in, if it's what you are happy with and you could give a rats about anyone else's opinion...well...to me, that's where 40+ kicks butt and people respect that. But if you run around trying hard to hide your real age, then it tends to just highlight your real age. In all things, grace, dignity and self-respect are ageless
Just last summer when my insanely hip 16 year old niece was visiting, I made some joke about remembering fondly the days when I wasn't double the size she is now. And she said to me, "Maybe you aren't, but you know what...you OWN it. You always look good." I am overweight, don't dress in top fashion (let alone the same shops as her), I wear comfy clothes and shoes, and half the time my hair is pulled up. So seriously, if a 16 year old can say that to me with a straight face, then I must be putting the right vibe out there. So there you go...do what you want. But OWN it

I also find that I just don't give a s**t about a lot of the things that seemed so important in my 20's and 30's. I'm not as interested in censoring myself, putting up with BS, or playing games. I don't feel the need to really cater to anyone else's agenda. I don't know that I'm ready to go all "I am woman hear me roar" or sit in a drum circle about it...I just don't care to do it anymore. And that's really nice. (although I admit it could be a slippery slope into "get off my lawn" territory)
As for what we're supposed to look like in our 40's? Confident is always sexy. While I think the tide is turning a bit, young and hot still sells and that's what we see. It's tough to be surrounded with images and marketing of 20's beauty when you aren't ever going to see 20 again. You already know what you don't want to look like, so don't do that.
Okay...I got all wordy anyway. 40 will be okay - you can't stop it. Mourn your 30's if you need to, do what you've gotta do to feel okay about it, but just know that for most people things only get better as they age.
Wow, it make my heart skip a beat

Age is just a number. We are in our 60's and you would never know it. We haven't slowed down at all. I am in better shape now than I was 10-15 years ago. People are shocked to learn how old we are.

I guess what I quoted is what bugs me....that to me sounds like "so you're 40, accept that you are no longer attractive" I'm sure that's not what the post meant, but that's what I mean. I don't feel all of a sudden not pretty anymore, I don't feel like my body is falling apart, and I know I could get away saying I'm in my early 30's if I chose to.
I do like that I'm not interested in staying out all night anymore, I will like a band now even if they aren't "cool", I have no desire to go to the coolest bar anymore and I'm happy to stay in more, but still love to hang out in my dive bars when I feel like it. Things like silver strands in my hair don't bother me at all. Today I wore a dress with my Vans (gym shoes). It's an outfit I would have worn when I was young, but I still dress like that now.
I got carded the other day for wine, then the checkout lady said "time is treating you very well" and it should have been a compliment to me, but all I heard was "wow, you're old, thank god you don't look it" or something like that.
I can't put into words what's bothering me really, it's just that stupid number.
I'm just being vain and silly, I realize that. I'm not one to freak out about anything much (other than my pets), so I'm allowing myself to wallow for a while. And I think it's great there's a bunch of you who never felt like this and I know there's nothing I can do, it's better than the alternative, age is just a number, but still....ugh!
This too shall pass...I have no choice!
Thanks all!

I took your original post to mean that you were feeling like 40 means packing it in, throwing on a pair of elastic waist jeans, and calling your sexy self done. What I meant in my response is that that is not the case at all and that there's a certain amount of confidence that comes as we get older. It was meant as a good thing. You're the only one who can decide if she's going to pack it in and I'm getting that you don't want to do that.
You can wallow and I am happy to hand you a glass of wine and mourn the passing of time with you. But there are good things that are associated with the passage of time and I was just trying to convey that. I meant no disrespect to how you're feeling at all.

It's really annoying when a 22 year old finds out that you are 40+ and says, "WOW, you look great for your age!!!". It's fine if you say "She looks great for someone her age" to somebody else. But not directly to the person you are speaking of. It just means "You're so old, but you don't look old."

I'm turning 40 in March and I'm looking forward to it. I was depressed when I turned 30 but it turned out my 30s were way better than my 20s. So now I think my 40s will be way better than my 30s. Plus spending my birthday at Disney followed by a Disney Cruise should help. My oldest is 18 and my youngest is 12 so they will all be grown before I hit 50.

Infrared Lie Detector could be handy in presidential debates
Just what we need right about now: a new lie detector. Scott Bunce of the Drexel University's College of Medicine in Philadelphia has applied for a patent for a lie-detecting headband, using a near-infrared light that shines through the skull. That somehow gives the device a reading on how much oxygen is in the brain's blood and then displays its results right up front and center for all to see.
Might we suggest trying out a couple of these in Friday night's debate between presidential hopefuls Obama and McCain as shown above, perhaps equipped with red (for lies) and green (for truth) lights to show who's inflicting the most "truthiness" at any given moment. Or, Mr. Bunce could just equip both "magic lie detectors" with constantly flashing red lights and be assured of 100% accuracy.

With some experimentation and a passion for making terroir driven, fruit forward, vineyard and varietal specific wines, the El Corazon style was born. The next year, he moved back to Walla Walla. On his way to Kansas after El Corazon's first crush, it hit Spencer (randomly, driving through a tunnel) to follow his heart. He picked up the phone and said to Raul, "El Corazon!" Raul said "Jefe, it's 2AM, call me tomorrow," and hung up. The next day, it all began.
