Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Audi A4,Subaru Legacy and Dodge charger comparing
I am looking at leasing a either an Audi A4 2.0T quattro, a Subaru Legacy GT or a Dodge Charger AWD (SXT or RT) all 2008's and I would like to know which is the better car. The monthly payments are about the same and the insurance is about the same so it a matter or the best car. All have the same options I want and color. They rate excellent in Consumer reports and for accidents. My mechanic says to stay away from the Audi. Any advice?
attboots Posts: 6I live in NYC, I am looking to replace a 02 Jetta. There is nothing wrong with it right now but I would like a new car. I have had 4x4 suv's and I want a all wheel drive car. I like the 3 cars listed. I am wondering which one is better as far as problems. I am not worried about gas milage and things like that, just which would be more of a problem
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Each has its own unique character.
The Audi is a bit more luxurious, but a bit cozy inside. I sort of agree with your mechanic, but others may argue otherwise.
The AWD Charger gives you big engine fun, but I can't see very well out of those and the interior doesn't match the other two in refinement.
The Legacy GT is probably the most reliable of the bunch. Interior falls between those two. Basically it should split the difference in most ways.
I think if you drive them, you'll pick a clear favorite, all based on personal taste. -
attboots Posts: 6I have driven all but the Charger. I don't see anything special about any of the cars. I think if I drove any new car it would feel the same. My worry are more about the car being reliable and not in the garage more than on the street. Even thought it would be a lease and there will be no payments for repairs, I still want a good car.
paisan Posts: 21,181Totally not a statistic but I have an 05 LGT Wagon 5MT. 50k miles on it, put 2 or 3 track days on it, live in Manhattan, drive to NJ for work daily, always hard on my cars. So far zero problems with it, except I snapped off the hooks in the trunk for the grocery bags cause I had 2-2liter bottles in em.

As 2012 comes to a close, it's time to think ahead and make sure your financial house is in order. I spoke with Cliff Morgan, a busy father of two and Strategic Wealth Money Manager along with College Planning Partner to find out what we can do in 2012.
"Now that holiday shopping is over, it's time to focus on your financial picture," says Mr. Morgan, who offers the following tips:
Last-Minute Tax Planning: What's Current and What is Changing in 2013
1. Capital gains rates are set to increase from 15 to 20 percent (that's a 33 percent increase).
2. Be aware that starting in 2013, a new 3.8 percent Medicare tax on unearned income, including interest, dividends and capital gains, will take effect. So cashing in these investments may make sense in the proper situation.
3. Some college credits are expiring, but there are over 153 different strategies for families with college students.
4. Set up IRA and Roth IRA accounts before December 31st.
5. Completing Roth conversions this year may save you a significantly.
6. Gift generously before the end of the year.
7. Start creating your 2013 tax plan, because taxes are going up!
2013: What's on the Schedule (but not certain)
We know that, as of December 2012, the following is on the docket for 2013:
-A return to federal income tax rates of between 15 percent and 39.6 percent
-Elimination of qualified dividend income (QDI) preferred tax rates
-A return to $1 million for estate and gift exemptions
-Elimination of American Opportunities Credit
Mr. Morgan hosts free educational seminars and would love to help you. If you would like additional information click here.

Lets get busy with this weeks (probable) breakout players. And definitely worth an inclusion on your fantasy picks. These players are certainly on my list.
- Jameis Winston
- Chuckie Keeton
- Bo Wallace
First up is Jameis Winston. OK, I know a lot of you consider him to be damaged goods. And when he is not throwing for 400 yards and 5 touchdowns, he is probably stuffing lobsters down his pants. Buy hey, a guy has got to eat right? Regardless, this kid from Hueytown, Alabama (population 4) can really play. He is young, fast, and not afraid to throw the rock down field. His breakout game against North Carolina State where he threw for 4 touchdowns was enough to many of us over the top and into payday. And lets not forget the games vs Notre Dame and Syracuse, where he had a passer rating of 163 and 184. Simply amazing. Leave him out of this weeks picks at your own caution.
Next, lets look at Chuckie Keeton. I know, he has had a bad knee and likely will not be seen the entire 2014 season. But with a few games left in the season, a few people have seen Chuckie throwing on the practice field, and he looks great. Just one injury and we could see Chuckie on the field. And its not a stretch to think that he could throw for 300 yards and 3 touchdowns. Seriously, he is that good so leave him out if you want to, but I say he is a tier 2 pick and you just need to be prepared. And with a name like Chuckie, you just never know he is going to appear, just like that nasty little doll that nobody could seem to kill off.
Bo Wallace, I really like this kid. And I do believe he is NFL caliber. For 2013, lets not forget that he threw for 3400 yards and had 18 touchdowns. Very strong and durable player. He is not afraid to stay in the pocket and take a nasty hit. He will wait that extra second to make sure his receiver gets that little bit of clearance that he needs to make the catch. I know there have been a lot of rumors regarding his shoulder and whether he is playing injured. The game on November 22 vs Arkansas is a sure lock that this kid is going to throw for 3 touchdowns. Dont say that I didnt warn you.
Well, that is for today. Good luck players and hopefully all of your fantasy wishes come true. I have 3 parlays heading into today's afternoon games and will post the results tomorrow morning. This mornings action is a little slow. Until tomorrow…

See also: "FDA rolls out first rules on federal food safety law."
The costs to fruit and vegetable growers for complying with the newly proposed produce safety regulation have been estimated at more than $30,000 annually for large farms and about $13,000 per year for smaller farms.
Those figures come from the Food and Drug Administration's cost-and-benefit analysis of the produce safety rule regulation, one of two proposed Food Safety Modernization Act components released Jan. 4.
The FDA estimates the new food safety regulations on growing and packing will prevent 1.75 million foodborne illnesses annually.
The proposed rule imposes new standards on growers for worker training and hygiene, agricultural water purity, biological soil amendments, equipment, tools and buildings. Exemptions to the proposed rule were carved out for produce commodities rarely consumed raw, produce used for personal or on-farm consumption, produce that receives a "kill step" to reduce the presence of microorganisms and farms with average annual sales of $25,000 or less.
Other growers with sales less than $500,000 (and who sell mostly to consumers or nearby retailers and restaurants) can qualify for exemption or fewer mandates — as outlined in the Tester Amendment.
The FDA calculates the benefit from reduced foodborne illnesses to be $1.04 billion. The FDA estimates the cost of the legislation to domestic farms at $460 million annually and $171 million a year for foreign farms. Net benefit was calculated to be $406 million annually.
Michael Taylor, the FDA's deputy commissioner for foods and veterinary medicine, said it is hard to predict foodborne illness outbreaks. He said one of the benefits of the regulation is greater consumer confidence in produce safety and less damage to the industry from recalls.
Taylor said FDA plans to collaborate with the produce industry, state agriculture departments and University Extension agents to educate growers on the new requirements and to provide technical assistance and training.
Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the FDA, said in a Jan. 4 news conference that the produce safety rule will allow small and large farms to organize themselves around one set of standards, rather than multiple standards from multiple buyers.
"Now there is going to be a uniform, agreed-upon approach that I think will both be driven by the best possible science and be agreed up and enforced at various levels, both local, state, industry and by FDA," she said.

Cubs trade Tony Campana to Diamondbacks
BY GORDON WITTENMYER email@example.com February 18, 2013 2:13PM
Chicago Cub Tony Campana bunts to reach first and advance runners during the ninth inning at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Ill., on Wednesday, October 3, 2012. | Andrew A. Nelles~Sun-Times Media
Updated: February 18, 2013 2:59PM
MESA, Ariz. – Circle May 31 on the calendar. That's the day Cubs fans have their first chance to see their favorite Cub – or former Cub now that speedy outfielder Tony Campana has been traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Campana, the clear fan favorite during last month's Cubs Convention was traded for two teenage pitching prospects Monday, eight days after he was designated for assignment to make room on the roster for newly signed outfielder Scott Hairston.
``It's a difficult decision with regards to Tony, but we were happy to get two arms we like a lot for a guy who was designated for assignment,'' general manager Jed Hoyer said.
Both pitchers in the deal are 17-year-old right-handers from Venezuela who played in the Dominican Summer League last year: Erick Leal and Jesus Castillo.
Leal is likely to make the transition to the Cubs' rookie-A-level club in Mesa this season.
``In this kind of deal sometimes it takes going a little bit lower to find the right value,'' said Hoyer, who had reports on the pitchers dating back to before they signed with Arizona. ``We're excited about what we got.''
Campana, 26, was one of the fastest players in the National League last year and led the Cubs with 30 stolen bases. His inability to consistently reached base made him expendable.

- Re: When do you tell friends/family?
Hi, I am 9+3 with my first pregnancy and I am wondering when you tell your friends and family? My husband and I tried to get pregnant for 3 years and finally it worked with the help of a fertility clinic. So far only few of my very close friends know, we didn't tell family or anyone else. Some people might guess it though, since I do not drink any alcohol any more and I do not eat certain foods. But I am so afraid that something might go wrong, I just feel like I don't want to tempt fate... Originally we wanted to tell after 12 weeks but now I learned that the prenatal screens might not be done until then (I'm not even sure what screens I really want though..) and I'm wondering now if I should wait until I know everything is really ok. But then, sometimes I am just so happy that I feel like I want to tell people and share the great news. How are you dealing with this?
Thanks :-)
It just depends on what you are comfortable with. The good news is that if you want to share your exciting news, friends and family can be there to support you through it all.
I am not a private person so it is really hard not to tell. I have ended up telling more people than I thought because have been so sick. This is my 4th pregnancy but 2 unsuccessful then I had my 3rd time is the charm baby who is 9 1/2yrs old. We are waiting to tell him until the heart beat ultrasound on 12 weeks. My doctor said it would be better to wait until then. Trying to keep this a secret from him is so hard. Counting down the days until we cn let him know he will be a big brother.

Don't you hate it when one of your favorite hunks opens his mouth and says something boneheaded? Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa got in trubs this weekend when he made offensive comments about black hair. He was chatting with Guiliana Rancic on E! News about his new show, "Charlie's Angels," and she lobbed him a softball question about what he looks for in a woman. Mustafa then asked if she had taken a look at his hair, implying it looked bad, and how he wants someone to make him look better. Rancic then asked if he wanted a woman with "real hair" and he replied:
"Yes, it does have to be real hair. I want my kids to have nice hair so she better have good hair. Cause, I don't know if you've checked my hair out lately. Aside from today it's normally nice. Today it's slightly nappy."
Oh dear.

DirecTV and News Corp. Avert Channel Blackout
By BRIAN STELTER
6:15 p.m. | Updated | Representatives for DirecTV and News Corporation said Monday evening that they had averted a looming blackout of regional sports networks, FX and other Fox-owned cable channels.
After warring in public for a week and a half, the two companies said they had come to a new contract agreement. "We both know the past ten days have been challenging, but we're pleased that both sides could eventually come together to ensure our viewers continue to enjoy Fox programming," the companies said in a joint statement.

Borden Fat Free Sharp Slices is more like American cheese despite what the marketing team at Borden says. It's packaged like, looks like, and tastes like American cheese. No amount of fancy wording will change that. And what's everybody's favorite way to eat American cheese? Grilled!
I've had bad experience in the past with fat free cheeses. They tend to melt oddly, taste bizarrely, and generally have a rubbery or chalky texture. I was delighted to see that as my Borden slices melted between to slices of my favorite bread, everything looked normal. When I bit into it, I was met with the delicious salty-tangy flavor of classic American, along with the trademark gooey and slightly stringy texture. The only thing that did seem a bit off was that it did re-solidify quickly, but that could be due to the fact that the temperature in my house is pretty low.
One slice of Borden Fat Free Sharp Cheese Slices contains only 30 calories, no fat, 5 grams of protein and 30% of the recommended daily amount of calcium. Unfortunately, there is also 13% of the RDA for sodium (320 mg). That's not terrible, but it adds up if you eat more than 1 slice of cheese.
A pack with 16 singles cost $2.00. Here's the rundown of how my cheese purchases go: I will definitely be buying this again for when I want to make my World famous grilled cheese sandwich; Laughing Cow Light Spreadable Original Swiss Cheese Flavor Wedges to put atop crackers and Sargento Light String Cheese for when I feel those cheese snack cravings.

Coral BeachPacking line workers at Pure Hot House Foods Inc., Leamington, look like hospital operating room staff in their gloves, hairnets and lab coats. Jaime Moracci, president, said the company's internal food safety regulations are "far over and above" those in the proposed produce rule from the Food and Drug Administration.LEAMINGTON, Ontario — There are 224 members in the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetables Growers Association who own growing operations ranging from 0.09 acres to almost 128 acres.
Those recently interviewed about the proposed produce safety rule in the U.S. had a uniform answer, regardless of the size of their operation: pathogens don't discriminate based on size.
George Gilvesy, general manager of the association said all of the group's members are required to participate in the organization and must meet strict food safety regulations no matter how many acres they have.
Gilvesy"You are as weak as your weakest link," Gilvesy said. "That's why so many believe the FDA's exemption for small operations doesn't make good sense."
That sentiment was repeated again and again by owners, managers and safety officers from Ontario's greenhouses.
Peter Quiring, founder and chief executive officer of Nature Fresh Farms, worked in greenhouse design before entering the growing end of the industry. He said has always given enormous attention to food safety.
"It's the one thing that levels the playing field," Quiring said.
Part of the Nature Fresh food safety plan involves traceability measures that allow the company to track its peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers back to the individual row they came from and what employee picked them.
VeillonAnother key player in the Ontario greenhouse community, Mastronardi Produce Inc., Kingsville, has similar traceability measures in place, said marketing director Chris Veillon.
Such detailed traceability is not a government requirement, but Veillon and Quiring said food safety is one area where growers and shippers must take the lead.
Erie James Ltd. regulatory manager Stephanie Lariviere said food safety is vital.
For seven years Lariviere has voluntarily worked with a customs and trade partnership group of U.S. and Canadian officials.
LariviereFood safety and food security must be a shared responsibility among the entire supply chain," she said.
Lariviere said Erie James is SQF certified, which is recognized under the Global Food Safety Initiative, and added that she is an advocate for the harmonization of good agricultural practices in hopes that food safety issues can be prevented regardless of the country of origin of the produce.
Carl Mastronardi, owner of Del Fresco Produce, Kingsville, said food safety doesn't just involve government and retailer imposed regulations. He said the size exemption in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's proposed produce rule does not make sense if protecting the public is the goal.

Another Zardari-Kayani meeting; Gilani also in attendance

The a**second rounda** of talks between the Army Chief and the President.
ISLAMABAD: If Tuesdaya**s meeting between the army chief and president
didna**t create enough buzz, there was another meeting on Wednesday a**
this time with the prime minister also in attendance.
The a**second rounda** of talks took place as reports surfaced that
Pakistana**s ambassador to US was not flying back immediately after being
a**summoneda** by President Asif Ali Zardari.
Though the official stance is that Ambassador Hussain Haqqani was being
called to deliver a briefing to the countrya**s leadership on Pak-US ties,
his summoning came as talk intensified of a purported secret communication
between the civilian government and the US administration. The unnamed
official who is said to have facilitated the alleged communication, which
is said to have been a plea to the US to help reign in the military
establishment, is widely regarded to be Ambassador Haqqani.
Unconfirmed reports early Thursday suggested that Ambassador Hussain
Haqqani had offered to resign to end the stand off between the civil and
military leaderships.
Diplomatic sources said that Haqqani has no immediate plans to travel to
Instead, he is making hectic efforts to reach out to concerned US
officials in Washington in a bid to preempt possible move for his ouster,
sources added. Haqqani is known to have maintained close links with key
American officials a** purportedly one of the main reasons for the failure
of past efforts to replace him.
When approached, Embassy spokesperson Imran Ghardezi said the Ambassador
had received the intimation from Islamabad on Wednesday.
However, he did not give any dates when Haqqani would travel.
a**His travel plan is being finalised,a** the spokesperson added but
attempted to dispel the impression that he was summoned in connection with
the alleged letter.
A military official, meanwhile, confirmed that army had expressed serious
concerns over the issue and General Kayani raised this matter with the
The security establishment reportedly had already been seeking the removal
of Haqqani due to his controversial track record. It is said that the army
is pushing the government to appoint Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir as
new Ambassador to Washington.
The foreign ministry spokesperson, when contacted, refused to comment on
the development.
Separately, however, Information Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan said there
was no conflict of opinion between the politicians and military hierarchy
and Haqqani was asked to come and brief leaders here about the Pak-US
relations as is a**routinea**.
Awan strongly denied reports of Haqqani being asked to resign to meet the
militarya**s demand. a**The military is very much on the same page with
the government,a** she said in response to a question on General Kayani
not being happy about the alleged letter.

Classic, Original, and 501 are meaningless, but these are the old-fashioned style,
This review is from: Levi's Men's 501 Shrink To Fit Jean (Apparel)
If you're looking for the old-fashioned style Levi 501 jeans like the ones you bought in the 1970's or 80's, that are made of heavy denim and you bought them oversize and washed them hot to shrink them to size, at least one of the ones listed on this page is the right one: the Color: Rigid STF (at the moment it is the color at the far left).
It took many hours of searching and researching (researching blue jeans!) at several online stores and non-store websites to determine whether equivalents to my old ones were even made anymore, and if so, which ones they were. Levi calls countless styles Classic or Classic Fit, and countless others Original, and the 501 number was apparently successful, so they call a lot of them 501, too, to the point where these adjectives and style number have no meaning anymore. Classic and Original probably just mean they're Levi-Strauss, and 501 is meant to catch your eye. Maybe they hope you'll make lots of mistakes and have to buy lots of jeans while hoping to find the right ones. If it sounds like I'm joking about that, I'm not. So it was with some relief that I got these, saw that they're the right style, shrank them down, and they're fine. There is even an improvement over the old ones: the button-fly holes are now are reinforced with stitching, which they didn't used to be. Mine say Made in Haiti; quality seems just fine. The denim is heavy-weight. If you're looking for the type of old-fashioned plain style jeans that I described, the keywords to look for are: Rigid, Indigo, Shrink-To-Fit/STF, Straight Leg, Button-Fly, Rivets, and 501 (even though it can mean almost anything). When you're looking at an item description, the more of these keywords are omitted, the more suspicious you can be that you may be looking at an "impostor", possibly even an impostor style made by Levi itself. Shop carefully. It wasn't an accident that I ended up with the ones I set out to buy. It took more than a day of traversing the Levi-Strauss style minefield.

Original and best,
By These are still made from the original indigo-dyed rigid denim manufactured Cone mills in North Carolina, and are of good quality. The trick with these is to buy a bigger size then you ordinarily would, as they shrink considerably. Especially if you want to be able to roll up the cuffs, you need to buy either 2 or 4 inches longer in the inseam, i.e. if you normally wear a 32, by a thirty-four or 36, because it will shrink almost 3 inches after a couple of washes. If you want to wear them over boots, definitely go up 4 inches. I have found that the waist shrinks about an inch and half, so if you normally buy a 36, buy 38. The other thing is that if you want to avoid whitish streaking down the leg, turn them inside out when you wash them. To avoid spotting from the starch used in new shrink-to-fit fabric, wash then in hot water the first few time. Basically they will shrink through the first three washes and and pretty much stay where they are. After that, when you get them to the color you want, wash them as infrequently as possible and they will get a nice natural fading, which will look much better than any of the "hand finished" jeans they charge so much for nowadays. It will always look better if you do it yourself through natural wear.

To shrink or not to shrink?,
By My Cat's Name Is Bernie (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Levi's Men's 501 Shrink To Fit Jean (Apparel)
I've worn Levi's 505's (zipper fly) from when I was a teenager up until last year, when Levi's changed them from "regular fit" to "straight fit". I am very slim with narrow hips, and the straight fit 505's kept sliding down over my hips. So I tried a pair of prewashed 501's. I wasn't thrilled about the button fly, but I got used to it. The fit was great; very much like the older style 505's.
About 6 months ago, I decided to give shrink-to-fit 501's a try. My "true" size is 30x30. I got my STF's in size 32x31. I wasn't up for the shrinking-them-in-the-bathtub routine. Instead, I put them in the washing machine with hot water, gave them a spin dry, put them in the dryer for just a few minutes, and hung them until dry. The result fit me perfectly, much better than the prewashed 501's. These 501's have been in the washer and dryer many times, and now look like a prewashed pair. They are starting to get a lot of fade over the knees. The fit is still perfect! I really like the 501 STF's and highly recommend them. The denim fabric feels much stronger and more substantial than the prewashed jeans. If you have the patience to deal with the shrinking, you get much more control over the fit. I decided I really like the look of the unwashed Denim, so I recently ordered and received 2 pair of 501 STFs from Amazon, one size 32x31 and the other size 30x30. I shrunk the 32x31's, but I am wearing the 30x30's unwashed and unshrunk. I am going to try to wash both pairs as little as possible, using cold water, Dr. Bonner's soap, and vinegar, as described on Levi's web site (and many other blogs), and compare how the 2 pairs age. I'll update this review as things progress. I got both pair in the "Rigid" color, which is the traditional Levi's dark indigo. Prior to washing, the indigo dye does not fully penetrate into the intersections of the threads in the denim fabric. The un-dyed parts of the fabric form a pattern of white dots, which makes the overall color look much lighter than prewashed indigo jeans. I shrunk the 32x31 jeans in my front-loading washer, inside out, in hot water, no soap, on the gentle cycle. I skipped over the rinse cycle, gave them a gentle spin for a minute, wore them for a couple of hours, then hung them up to complete drying. I did not use the clothes dryer. I got a perfect fit, just like my last pair. The indigo dye bled on to the un-dyed part of the fabric. This made the shrunk jeans look darker than the un-shrunk pair. The shrunk pair retained the rigid feel. So for now I like the look of the shrunk pair more. But the real test will be how they age later. Update 1/13/2012 In the past 2 months, I've worn each pair about 1/3 of the time, and other pants the remaining time. So each pair has been worn about 20 days. Neither pair has been washed yet. The pair that I shrunk have softened up quite a bit, and look almost like pre-washed jeans. They are just starting to show some fading on the knees and around the objects I keep in the front pockets. The non-shrunk pair still maintain most of their rigid feel, and aside from some creasing, look pretty much the same as they did when they arrived from Amazon. I like to keep my new jeans fade-free for use as "dress jeans" for as long as possible. So at this point, I prefer the pair that I did NOT shrink. Update 2/12/2012 It was finally time to wash these jeans. I used cold water, Dr. Bronner's soap, and vinegar, followed by a cold water rinse, as described on Levi's web site. The non-shrunk pair now have a beautiful color, about half way between the original color and that of the pre-shrunk pair. The non-shrunk pair also have most of their original rigidity, and their leather tag looks perfect (the lettering on the tag on the pre-washed pair faded in the hot water). The fading on the pre-shrunk pair has progressed a bit more, while there is still no visible fading anywhere on the other pair. Unfortunately I did get some shrinkage in the non-shrunk pair, which were getting wet for the first time. The waist shrunk 1/2" and the inseam shrunk 1". The waist shrinkage isn't a problem, as it stretched out while wearing the jeans. The inseam is more of an issue. I tried to stretch the legs several times while drying, but that didn't work; the fabric shrunk back as soon as I let go. For my next pair of jeans, I plan to buy them in my actual waist size, but with 1" extra length, and wait as long as possible before washing them in cold water. Update 11/17/2012 After their first wash, the non-shrunk pair were too short to use. So I recently purchased a new pair in my actual waist size and 1" extra length. I wore these for several days, then washed them. This time I washed them in the bath tub with Dr. Bronner's soap and vinegar. I am hoping that keeping them flat during the wash will reduce fading around the creases that occurred when my other pairs were machine washed. So far the results are fantastic. I plan to use this method from now on. Hope that helps...

The original and still great,
This review is from: Levi's Men's 501 Shrink To Fit Jean (Apparel)
I have found that these shrink a bit less than what Levi's says. In the waist, they shrink about an inch as opposed to the tho inches that Levi's says. The leg shrinks about 2 3/4 inches, rather than 4. So don't buy them too oversized, unless you are going to be washing many times in hot water and a hot drier. Since most people like these dark nowadays, that is unlikely. Also, these are very well made. While much negative commentary concerning Levi Strauss's move away from domestic manufacturing has focused on the button-fly 501s, the bigger problem I have seen is with the old 1970's standby, the 505, which has a zipper as opposed to button fly. The variability on sizing and sew quality with the 505s means you really have to try them on to see how they fit. The 501 are much easier to buy online or by mail order because the sizing is much less critical on the waist, which is the so-called "anti-fit" waist, meaning there is no curve to the rise (the distance between the crotch and the top of the waist), because the original 501s were merely cut down bib overalls which were made to hang, rather than be fitted to the waist. The biggest problem I have noted on the 505's is the variability in size in the thigh area, meaning that some fit baggy and some seem rather tight, even though they are theoretically the same size of a label. The 501s are pretty safe as far as sizing.

Best Jeans Ever,

This review is from: Levi's Men's 501 Shrink To Fit Jean (Apparel)
If you like "crispy" jeans as i do...meaning a good stiff pair...you will love these...these are a true shrink to fit pair...so a good rule of thumb...if u like the tighter fit then only buy them one size up...if you like the somewhat looser fit easy through the leg buy them two sizes bigger...will be buying all washes of 501 shrink to fit jeans

Not the Levi's of your youth,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Levi's Men's 501 Shrink To Fit Jean (Apparel)
The old 501's from my past had finally worn out. Time for new ones.
To give y'all some background.........I've been wearing the same size since the age of 21, 33yrs in all. Used to walk into a store, make my purchase, throw them in the washer, and put them on. No, or little difference, between any two pairs in fit. All US made. Something has changed for the worst. Out of 4 pairs I recently purchased, none fit the same, and all were improperly sized in the seat. Droopy drawers. Whether they were improperly cut, stitched, or made of inferior fabric, is a question for the ages. I also wonder if the cut of these pants has been "improved". Are they truly the same cut as the originals? (When I see a tag, big as a billboard, inside the waistband proclaiming "Levi's Original 501", I have to wonder.......who are they trying to convince??) To be fair.............. Men's pants, in general, seem to be cut for dudes with big hips/rear ends nowdays. Sign of the times maybe? Too many donuts, and too little exercise? I hope Levi Strauss hasn't knuckled under to the effects of comfort food. If I wanted Dockers, I would have bought Dockers. Be it poor quality control at the factory in Haiti, or change in design, I don't intend to spend another dime on this product. I'm now the proud owner of 4 pricey pairs of workpants. Ooomph.

Jeans That Fit an Active Guy,
By Miles "Miles" (Leominster, Ma United States) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Levi's Men's 501 Shrink To Fit Jean (Apparel)
Typically, it's very hard to find jeans that fit an active person with a small waist and developed hips and legs and look and feel good. Relaxed and loose fit jeans just look sloppy, no matter how you wear them. These jeans fit well and look good. They are a straight fit, but since they form to your own body, there is nothing better unless you can get a pair of custom made Levis. However, at this price point why would you even bother.
The button fly is great. I thought that it would take some time to get used to, but I prefer a button fly to zippers now. These take a bit more work to break in than the already distressed jeans, but it's worth it. Every mark and amount of wear that's put into these jeans will be all yours. I discovered these jeans about three months ago at a Levi's store and now I swear by them. The STF are great in every color that they come in even if they aren't made in the USA anymore.

Levi Cheapened the Denim,
By MtnVeggie (Los Alamos, NM) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Levi's Men's 501 Shrink To Fit Jean (Apparel)
Beware, some of the first (and oldest) reviews of these jeans are out of date...Levi has changed the denim since they were posted....
I purchased the 501 rigid indigo STF from Zappos (which is owned by Amazon) about two years ago, but I do not use Zappos since they were hacked so I am posting the review here. I wore the STF's in the 70's and 80's...loved them but got away from wearing jeans. Then I had a hankering for these and ordered a pair. I was shocked at how different the fabric felt: very flimsy and cheap compared to the old versions. I did some research (even called Levi) and discovered that about ten years ago Levi downgraded the weight of their jeans from 14.5 oz/yard to 12.5 oz. Why did they do this? For the same reason food companies keep shrinking the amount of product in their packaging. For one, the thin fabric costs less. Then thinner fabric is easier and quicker to sew. And of course, the jeans will wear out faster and then the customer must buy a new pair. The old heavy weight fabric was great and I lament the loss. BTW, almost all brands of jeans (even so called designer jeans) are made with 12.5 oz now. Also, the fit of the STF seems to be different...I suspect Levi has changed them to fit an expanding American male physique. The good news is that I found a replacement jean. It is called the Unbranded Brand. It is made with beautiful Japanese heavyweight 14.5 oz selvedge denim and is just like the fabric Levi used to use. They are about $80/pair and very much worth it. Out of respect for Amazon I won't say what online store they are sold at, but run a search and you can find it. I wish there was some way to pressure Levi to go back to heavyweight fabric, but they are probably so much more profitable by using flimsy denim. Very sad...Levi used to be known for their durability and quality.

Thank you so very much Amazon for selling Levi 501's with a long inseam! I have hunted everywhere for at least a 36" inseam and finally found it with you! I'm tall and thin, and used to be able to find shrink to fit 28/38, but not anymore. I'm so thrilled to find preshrunk 501's with a 36 inch inseam. You folks have made my year! Thanks for not forgetting us tall, skinny people (we do exist)!!! :o) You will have my jean business for life. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I purchased 2 pairs of Levi's 501's and I am returning both pairs. Apparently, Levi's ships lesser quality jeans to Amazon because you can't see them before you buy them.
Both pairs of jeans have lines up the legs where the fabric spools were welded together. I have washed them 3 times now hoping the lines would disappear after a few washes but no luck. THESE ARE NOT THE SAME JEANS I HAVE BOUGHT IN STORES. I AM SURPRISED AMAZON ACCEPTS THEM INTO THEIR INVENTORY. THEY ARE POOR QUALITY. GO TO SEARS SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAD TO IRON THESE JEANS TO WEAR THEM. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO IRON 501'S. Maybe Amazon buys them at a discount? I don't know. But these jeans sure do suck. |

Todd Stroger: I'm interested in replacing William Beavers

Updated: April 24, 2013 6:09AM
With the ink barely dry on William Beavers' guilty verdict form, another familiar name is angling to replace the disgraced Cook County commissioner.
Former Cook County Board President Todd Stroger told the Chicago Sun-Times on Friday he wants in.
"Actually, I do have an interest," in replacing Beavers on the Cook County Board. "I am going to reach out to all the committeemen this weekend," Stroger said in a phone interview.
Stroger, who was ousted in his re-election bid by the reform-minded Toni Preckwinkle, said he's been thinking about a comeback for some time. Beavers was Stroger's staunchest ally on the County Board and a close friend of his father, the late County Board President John Stroger.
"For one thing I'm 50, and I found that at 50 you have to find something to do, so you might as well find something you know and you like," Todd Stroger said. "What I said about the county in my term, we need someone who can actually speak the truth in the county."
Stroger, who pushed through a controversial sales tax hike that was repealed, said current tax hikes by the county show that in the end he was right.
"As you can see, the county is trying to raise money through other taxes," he said. "They were never able to raise significant revenue to keep the health system going as needed. It just shows that sometimes … things that seem to be the hardest are still the things that we need to do.
Stroger acknowledged he and Beavers were close during Stroger's time at the helm of the County Board.
"He was always supportive," Stroger said Friday.
"My thought is that he wouldn't do anything that he thought was illegal. But elected officials are held to a different standard. It doesn't matter what his intentions were later," Stroger said when asked for his reaction to the case against Beavers, which included Beavers using his campaign fund to boost his pension and bankroll a gambling habit.
"When you're an elected official, they are harsher with you," Stroger said. "I haven't talked to him yet, I am going to give him a call."
When asked if he was surprised or saddened by Beavers' verdict, Stroger said: "Well, that's all I really want to say on that."
Stroger shrugged off questions about the federal indictment of his onetime top aide and childhood friend Eugene Mullins. Mullins, whose trial is set for the fall, was accused of scheming to "fraudulently steer" multiple grants to the other men who were indicted, who then allegedly gave him thousands of dollars in kickbacks.
"You know what? Sometimes things happen — and I'm not the one to say guilty or innocent — but things happen in administrations, but I don't think that's a reflection on me," Stroger said. "That's nothing on me."
Asked if he could say that the investigation would not lead to him, Stroger responded: "No, it certainly will not be. As a matter of fact this has been going on for a two years, I believe," he said.
Stroger said he's not been contacted by authorities but the defense had asked him for a "statement" regarding its case.
A federal jury on Thursday took less than two hours to convict Beavers of using his campaign account as a slush fund to boost his pension and gambling habit.
Upon conviction, Beavers lost his position as 4th District commissioner on the Cook County Board, creating a vacancy.
"I believe that the moment the verdict was read yesterday, the office was vacated," said Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin.
Two other names surfaced as possible replacements on Friday; both of whom are tied to Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th). Sawyer acknowledged that his cousin, Ken Sawyer, and his chief of staff, Brian Sleet, are among those angling to replace Beavers.
Beavers' replacement will be by appointment, based on the Democratic ward committeemen's vote, which is weighted according to voter turnout in Beavers' last election.
Cook County Democratic Party Chairman Joe Berrios said Friday he would appoint a group of committeeman to begin screening candidates to replace Beavers on the Cook County Board.
"It will probably be fairly quickly," Berrios said. Berrios said he had not yet heard from interested parties.
The appointee will then serve out the remainder of Beavers' term, which is to end December 2014.
Ald. Howard Brookins (21st), chairman of the City Council's Black Caucus, will cast the largest number of weighted votes as 21st Ward Democratic committeeman. Brookins told the Chicago Sun-Times on Friday that he does not yet have a favorite to replace Beavers.
Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle on Friday urged committeemen to appoint someone with a history of community involvement.
"This has been an unfortunate turn of events for all considered, especially the residents of the 4th District," Preckwinkle said. "It is my hope the committeemen find a candidate who has a record of community involvement and who is committed to serving the residents of the 4th District and representing them on the Cook County Board of Commissioners."
Beavers, who did not take the witness stand, vowed to appeal his conviction, saying "even Ray Charles" could see he got a raw deal.
His attorney Sam Adam Jr. said Thursday he took full responsibility for the loss suffered in court.
"I'm hoping I get a second chance at this when the appeal goes back," Adam said.

They havent even contacted me or updated the redemptions, just sitting there waiting to be fulfilled. They still say new and some are over 18 months old. Maybe someone from Panini will see this and realize there are plenty of people screwed by their company.

The packing shed, which does not have walls on two sides, had porous food contact surfaces including wood and carpeting on the pack line, Waters reported, making it virtually impossible for the surfaces to be sanitized.
Water lines carrying well water to the pack shed were leaking and covered with rust buildup.
"This water comes into direct contact with the cantaloupe," according to the report.
The inspector reported no one was monitoring the effective levels of the chlorine sanitizer in the packing line water. Chamberlain could not provide any records regarding the water sanitizing process, according to the report.
Chamberlain said in August he began recalling his fruit Aug. 16, but officials characterized it as a "voluntary market withdrawl." The FDA did not name Chamberlain Farms as the supplier until six days later. A list of wholesalers and retailers who received the fruit has still not been released. Chamberlain said the fruit did not have lot numbers for traceability.
