You probably know that we moved about a month ago and have been bleeding money since then. Last week DH and I had a sit down and agreed that we had to stop spending money for awhile. But...I went to an amazing estate sale today and found a rug for our dining room and bought it. :eek! It is a 10x14 all wool chobi rug. The colors are great and work beautifully with our planned dining room decor. They were asking $400 and I got it for $350. Help me rationalize my shopping please! To clarify we don't have a dining room rug for our dining room so it was needed - just bad timing on the finances. |

Yes, you had to buy that. It is perfect for you DR and that is an incredible price Now take a break and enjoy all you have done. It will give you a chance to savor everything. Your home is lovely and you have great instincts and design sense. I hope you'll be there a long time and will enjoy making it your own for years! |
I think it's a very handsome rug! I'm looking for one, and would have jumped at this. I love the geo-floral pattern. Yes, bad timing. But I don't think it was a frivolous purchase if you would have eventually been shopping for a rug. This is a great bargain. |

To ensure you stop spending - STOP GOING TO ESTATE SALES! If you stay away from temptation you don't have to worry about resisting it. |

Lazy gardens - I know! I'm a glutton for punishment. I promise I'm going to stop shopping and set up the things I have before buying any more. New house decorating is just so fun! And so easy to rationalize. |
I love your rug and especially love your tole tray that is propped against the wall. I have a passion for them. |

Holly-Kay - This picture is from the sale so it's not my tray. But now you are making me think I need to go back tomorrow and buy that tray too! :) |
Oh no! I didn't mean to do that to you but I really do love them. This is one that I thinks looks great in my kitchen. |
- Posted by louislinus (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 22:16
Okay fine I'll go buy it. You win. (lol) |
It's beautiful. You knew it was right when you saw it. Money is a renewable resource. I think you'll seriously regret not having gotten it. Sounds like a smart buy. |
Ya gotta rein it in. There will come a time that you will locate something and you have already purchased something and/or you don't have the money. Set priorities and make yourself hold to them. It's like drinking alcohol, ya gotta know when to quite. It's nice, but you need to slap your hands for considering this purchase. OK...I am off my soapbox. Don't tell the missus that I butted in like this! |

Love the rug! Wool is so much better than synthetic. If you had gone to a Dept store, you would have paid a LOT more. holly-kay, I have the exact same tray. Got it at the DC Flea market (really an antiques sale event). It is on a plate stand in my kitchen. |
I would love to see a pic colorcrazy. DH brought one home for me from his travels last week. I am going to hang it in the dining part of our kitchen. Sorry for hijacking your post Louislinus. Don't fret over purchasing the rug as you needed one at some point anyway and you got a beautiful rug for a song. |
That was a money saving deal, you could never pass that up. Keep on!!!! lol |

I keep telling DH bargain shopping is all about opportunity buys. I'll assume it was a bargain, i have no idea, so assuming you would be buying a rug of decent quality soon, that's a good buy if it doesn't cause any hardship. Now this wouldn't apply to situations where the money is not available or causes any hardship, or items not needed. But in this case it seems like you found a good opportunity when you just were trying not to spend money. After going through all our renovations, I know what that feels like! But seriously, if your not looking for anything at the moment then avoid the sales. I'm all for being on the lookout for things, but shopping just to look is usually not compatible with a spending freeze in my experience. |
I agree with Jim. You each agreed to no new spending but you deviated. If I was your husband I would feel like someone punched me in the belly. ok, getting off Jim's soapbox now. |
You did the right thing. If it were just in a store, I could see concern but If I understand estate sales, wasnt like you could go buy it later. The colors really work for you and you could get a price break on top of it. Seems like a logical, reasonable exception to your spending postponement. |

Oh, that is one beautiful rug and a great buy! But I am not completely on board with the rationalization. When finances are tight, and especially if you have a preexisting agreement with your partner, I'd pulled out a phone at the estate sale and pitch my case before making the purchase. Then come to an agreement one way, or the other, together. I know that is what I would do, because of a certain $125 9'x15.5' rug in our bonus room, that was purchased the week of closing on our house. :) Hope nothing gets in the way of your being able to enjoy your new rug. It is lovely. |
OK, since you asked....it's a beautiful rug, but no, you didn't do okay under the situation you described. If you truly are having a money crunch for the time being, then this was a no-no that can strain a relationship. Too often one spouse disregards the seriousness of money issues and puts their wants above the relationship. A DR rug is beautiful, but it's not like replacing a furnace that goes out or paying the mortgage. Now that being said, if your description of your agreement with your DH was tongue-in-cheek, and if instead it was just no spending unless we each find something that we both really think is a great deal, and we would be getting down the road anyway, then that's different, and I'd say "love the feeling of finding what you're looking for at a good price"! |

My husband and I do the same thing. He would have been so mean and hateful if I had done that but he would have thought nothing about it had he found something he "just had to have" for his truck or some tool to put in the shop that he will never take out of the box once he inspects as there are dozens in there now and I doubt he even knows what most are for, but a rug! Yes. He would have pitched a fit about a "real" bargain. Men! Incorrigible and not going to change just by a conversation about spending money, but then again I would probably be staying away from sales and stores and keeping my end of the bargain as I am wont to do whether he does or not. So, it's your marriage, you figure out whether what you do is right or wrong. There have been many times when I have schlepped around needing a haircut or color (many times and would end up doing it myself, and I am pretty good at that) while he was off buying something for his truck or his tool shed, maybe a new pair of shoes he did not need (expensive shoes) or a suit that was originally 4 figures that he got on sale for 3 figures and maybe it did not fit him and he never bothered to alter it. The only problem I see is that if you don't curb your spending now, after a few short years, your house is going to need upgrades and you will not have the discipline to save money for that purpose. Like I said, it's your marriage. You must be the judge. Good luck and I hope it lasts for many years and that he and you respect each other's wishes and are forever happy. P.S. Love the rug and it is worth a bit of a scolding and a couple days of cold shoulder while you shop sale catalogs. ;-) |

LOVE your rug and what a steal! I am sure when you look back on this in time and then look at your rug, you will be most happy you made the decision. However, I would not go to any more estate sales or shopping until you can afford to. |
Love the rug, too, good luck! |
So true about estate sales......going just for fun isn't really a compatible behavior with a spending freeze. You almost always see something that tugs at you and could create buyers remorse or didn't buy remorse. Both can take up a lot of energy that can be used in a much better way. That being said, if I had a brand new house with empty spaces, I'd be going unless there were truly serious financial issues. Good buys often come along in bunches, and the rug you bought is special. You couldn't begin to duplicate that if you went looking for a new one. So, enjoy going while you still actually need things. It's a fun place to be. Just do it in a prudent way and don't be afraid to pass on a sale occasionally. There are always more. |

Thanks all! Just to clarify DH is fine and not mad at all. I was just having some personal guilt. And we can still feed our kids, even after buying the rug. :) Only rice and beans but they won't starve. (I'm kidding!) JJam - you are right that these good buys have been coming in bunches and I think that's what is crazy. It's like everywhere I go I am finding exactly what we need for a fraction of the price. For example, I have 4 year old twins who shared a room in our old house and now have their own room. They both needed some sort of toy storage in their room. Earlier this week I was at a closeout store and they had these super cute from Target toy boxes for $25 each! And then then I found at a garage sale a really sweet little antique dresser that had been whitewashed for $10! (DD's broke in the move.) So it's just been one thing after another. But you all are right that I just need to not go and avoid it all together for a few weeks to stop the madness. |
You just have to keep your head about you with these things. If money is NOT a renewable resource for you, i.e.: there is no money coming into the household, then your forego such purchases. If you're putting off getting that furnace repaired or getting clothes or braces or whatever for the kids, or if you're credit card is maxed out…then you forego such a purchase. But there is reckless spending, and there is smart spending, even if the timing isn't perfect. Got to be conscious of which you're doing. |

Wow, great buy! Estate sales in my area? People are basically selling (and BUYING) junk for more than if you bought it new in a store. Or maybe I just don't recognize a good deal. |
Love the rug and although I adore tole painted trays, perhaps you should wait on buying that one until you're actually ready to redo the dining room. Holly-Kay, I LOVE that tray and especially love how,you have used it on the backsplash! |
You posted back in April that money was tight for dining room and flooring projects that you would like to do. Based on your April comments, I can't tell you that you did ok with this rug. Sorry. |
I think you did the right thing. Finding a great rug in that size for that price? I would have done the same thing and it doesn't sound like your family is going to suffer as a result. |
Gorgeous rug -- and a truly great price for that size! :) |
Stunning rug, super-stunning price. You did good. Now impose a shopping moratorium upon yourself, just for penance. A month? Two months? what would assuage your guilt? You did the crime, now do the time. |
Great rug. Call it your (or your husband's) birthday present and let go of the guilt. ML |

I started buying 2 years before I moved into my home or even knew I would be moving and building a new home!! I know it's crazy but I was on the internet looking at houseplans and my house is almost identical to the plan I was going to use, especially the exterior~this was 2001. I built and moved in 2006. My first purchase was a pair of antique mirrors I purchased in NC for the 2 vanities ' I would have' in the master bath. I guess what I'm saying is when something is right it's *right* and you know it. Buying something even before you have the house is insane, but it's almost 7 years later and I 'm still loving the things I 'found' so many years before. |

I would strongly suggest to try it before buying it just because it does not show up at all if you have medium to dark complexion.
I have bought a lot of things because of the MUA and You Tube raves and this time i went to Chanel counter for trying this first and i decided that it is not worth the money.
I feel that works for paler skins.Try it before Buying.
This product is my ultimate favourite to date; however be warned will not suit all skin tones so go to local Chanel counter and experiment first
I never used to wear much make up 2 years ago when I was 18 I used to rely on looking sun kissed and tanned more than anything, then when I was in the airport waiting to go on holiday I was in duty free and asked the lady to recommend a bronzer, I had a power based product in mind to be honest, but her first recommendation was Universal, she applied it on my hand and I took the plunge been in a rush and purchased (in the UK it retails for £29 pounds) and I havent looked back its my main base of make up and really gives a sun kissed look, I apply this after foundation even tough its a base, but as I only use a tinted moisturiser this way round works for me, it can be very easy to apply to much so you cant be heavy handed, comes in glam packaging so it looks lovely on your dressing table, the texture is like whipped hard mouse, can look a little matted looking after time ( if applied with a brush) however if applied with a sponge it remains neat and smooth looking
The only down falls I find with this product sadly is the fact it doesnt come with anything to apply it with, no sponge or no brush so you really sort of guess how to apply. Also the fact its like gold dust to get hold off and believe me I have tried, and left my name and number at various Chanel stands and waited up to 6 months, ( please dont product is hard to get hold of due to the fact the minerals in the product have to be grown as there expensive and Chanel didnt realise how popular product would become ) so since then I have had 2, 3 tubs at a time, instead when I couldnt get hold of it I used a make do MAC foundation similar substance and all I can say is HORRIBLE if I touched my face id get a hand print the stuff is like cement only bonus it comes with a sponge.
Universal will not suit everybody and will not suit very fair people who opt for the less is more look
But anyone out there that likes a glam look with a natural sun kissed side get to the chanel counter
( if they have any in stock )

This was expensive, but definitely worth the money. You get a lot of product. In the summer, I will use concealer and this all over like a foundation. In the winter, I use this as bronzer/contour colour. It goes on very smoothly. Unlike all other cream products I have tried in the past, this does not accentuate the acne scarring on my cheeks.In fact, it makes my skin appear more smooth. After a year of use nearly every day, I have hit pan. I apply this with a powder brush. I have no problems with this fading throughout the day. The colour is extremely natural and makes me look tan. This is not a product that makes your skin feel sticky either. I have no problems wearing it when I am on vacation somewhere warm. It gives your skin the tiniest glow, not shiny, not sparkly, but more of a smooth healthy skin glow. In photographs, it makes you look like you have perfect, smooth skin. This product has an amazing smell as well. I usually do not like my face products having a scent but I don't mind this one! I haven't had any issues with this product drying out. I do keep the inner lid though. My one problem is that the jar (although pretty) is too large for travel.

I can not imagine actually finishing this giant tub of product, but when I do, I fully expect to repurchase this gem! I really think this is one of the very best bronzer out there. I generally tend to think any alternative powder product has more fall out and less lasting power than this silicone-based one. Bronze Universel really lasts and provides a really warm and natural looking color to the skin. I like it when I am winter pale to just warm up the skin and also love it to enhance my skin when it is already slightly dark. I like how I am able to build up the intensity or leave it fairly faint to just punch up a sallow light skin. There is no shimmer to this product, so if you are looking to build a very natural color, this would be an excellent product to try out!

..expensive but worth it!It's perfect for my (sensitive) skin..I love it and i' m very desperate because i can't find it..i'd be very happy to buy it again!

Perfect body bronzer (I'm thinking neck/décolletage): finely milled, subtle but buildable pigment. The subtlety is such that it can reasonably be used in the winter as well as summer.
The trick to success with this one is finding the right brush to use: Laura Mercier's bronzer brush was such a disappointment in this respect (clumping of hair occurred over time). More success is to be had with MAC's 182 buffer brush.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I can only think of two reasons someone would not like this product: they are too pale for the one shade (or perhaps too dark)...or they are applying it completely wrong. Sometimes if I'm too heavy-handed with this stuff it can end up looking muddy and mask-like, but if you use the correct brush and apply it correctly it gives a very natural, glowing tan. It's subtle, again if you use a light hand and don't jam your brush into the jar, but gives a good glow without being a tan glitter bomb or a muddy matte mess. Also I think it would be great for girls who go without foundation - just to give a little glow to tired looking skin. Sadly I am not one of those girls...but it would look beautiful on bare skin. Be careful when purchasing this at the store because I lot of Chanel counter girls (especially at Macy's) have no idea what this product even is and may claim they don't have it when, in fact, they do and it's right there in the case.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love the texture and application of this product but Chanel needs to come out with more shades. Not everyone tans the same color! I took points off because on my NW20 complexion this looks very yellow, I don't see any orange however. Since it's too late to return it, I've had success using it as a base for other bronzers which suit me better.

I had purchased this product last summer after hearing the rave reviews, but after playing with it for about a month it just sat in my makeup drawer. It didn't look great on me, and at that point it was too late to return. But this summer I brought it out again, wondering what was so special about this very light but extremly expensive bronzer. I have medium skin that turns more of an olive color in the summer and just putting it on the apples of my cheeks/forhead/jaw didn't do it for me (I like to look very tan!). But I've found that its an excellent base for a pop of bronzer on the cheeks, forhead, etc. What I do is rub my finger in the pot then mix a little bit of my regualr, untinted moisturizer with it and apply it all over my face as a light foundation. The result is very glowly/tan skin that I can apply a poweder bronzer over where the sun naturally hits. I also use a little cream blush and then Nars Orgasm for a very sun kissed look. I think this could also work when im very pale in the winter, I'd just use a little less. Hope this helps someone who couldn't find how to wear this in a way that works for their skin tone.

Absolutely love this product. It was out of stock at my local Macy's counter for so long and I waited about 4-5 weeks for it to restock. Once it did, they called and let me know and put one on the side for me. I went there the day that it came in, and they were already sold out! Lucky for me, I asked them to hold it. :) I absolutely love this product. It is completely matte (someone wrote below that it has shimmer...I don't think they are using the same product), which makes me happy, because I am not a big fan of shimmery bronzers (or shimmery anything for that matter). I love the consistency, very lightweight, easy to blend, and you need very little to achieve a nice tan glow. Thoroughly love this product. Would buy this a million times over. Totally worth every penny.

Fantasy Guru Defensive Rookie Report
You have to have a subscription to this but I included the link in case someone has one.
IDP Rookie Report by Tim OÃÆââÃâìâÃââMalley IDP Expert, FantasyGuru.com Derrick Johnson (LB, KC) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Though itÃÆââÃâìâÃââs difficult to rate rookies prior to training camp, DJ MUST have a huge impact for the Chiefs in ÃÆââÃâìâÃââ05. Thomas Davis (LB, Car) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ A safety at Georgia, Davis is a vicious tackler that will have an early impact in Carolina on a fast LB corps. David Pollack (DE, CIN) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ DonÃÆââÃâìâÃâât be surprised if Pollack explodes in September but wears down in November. The most instinctive football player in the draft. DeMarcus Ware (DE, Dal) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Rookie pass rushers make immediate impacts every season, but Ware will have to be stout at the point of attack to play for The Tuna. Carlos Rogers (CB, Was) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Forecasting rookie cornerbacks in terms of fantasy value, in May, is a crapshoot at best, but Rogers joins a solid defense and should see plenty of action opposite Shawn Springs. Kirk Morrison (LB, Oak) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Can bring a toughness and run support skills to a depleted Raider LB corps. Matt Roth (DE, Mia) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Vastly underrated player. Look for a strong rookie season from the madman from Iowa. Antrel Rolle (CB, Ari) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Has the pedigree, and Head Coach Denny Green isn't afraid to throw the rookies into the mix early. Adam Jones (CB, Ten) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ IÃÆââÃâìâÃââd rate Pac-Man behind Rogers and Rolle as a player, though he should be a playmaker on the perimeter in due time. Darryl Blackstock (LB, Ari) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ A 3rd round sleeper that will look to make an impact as an edge rusher in the desert. Lofa Tatupu (LB, Sea) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Some consider the USC standout a bit of a reach selection, but the Seahawks need young playmakers along the front seven. Shawne Merriman (DE, SD) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Maybe I watched the wrong games, but Merriman looked ordinary at times last season, however, he has a great situation in San Diego. Jerome Carter (S, Stl) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ A hitter, and should have a chance to make an impact in a shaky Rams secondary. Channing Crowder (LB, Mia) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Shoots up the list if he's half as good as he thinks he is, or if the city of Miami bans all nightclubs for 2005. Josh Bullocks (S, NO) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ He'll go get the ball and could start for New Orleans in a puzzling secondary. Kevin Burnett (LB, Dal) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Constant motor and has the size Bill Parcells craves for the position. Marlin Jackson (CB, Ind) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Destined for a back-up role in early ÃÆââÃâìâÃââ05, Jackson has enough talent to make an impact as the season progresses. Fabian Washington (CB, Oak) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ One of the fastest players in the draft, now let's see what happens when he's blocked. Vincent Burns (DE, Ind) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Too many situational pass rushers already in Indy, but "Sweet Pea" could make a push. Chris Canty (DE, Dal) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Possible 4th round steal that battled injuries late in his college career but could be a terror off the edge. Marcus Spears (DE, Dal) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Dallas is building a strong DL rotation for the future, and Spears and Canty will be in direct competition in ÃÆââÃâìâÃââ05. Travis Johnson (DT, Hou)ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ A good player at a low-scoring fantasy position, especially for rookies. Erasmus James (DE, Min)ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ A suddenly deep Minnesota D-Line is a boon for Vikings fans, if not fantasy owners. Michael Boley (LB, Atl) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Active, quick and undersized. Could make an impact alongside Hartwell and Brooking. Ryan Claridge (LB, NE) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Well, you know he'll be coached. 5th round selection at a need position in New England. Mike Patterson (DT, Phi) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ A very good player, but will most likely be part of a heavy rotation with the Eagles. Brady Poppinga (LB, GB) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Moved to LB from DL in his senior season. Keep an eye on him early in camp. Corey Webster (CB, NYG) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ I'm a fan of his talent, but he has tough competition in Will Peterson and Will Allen in '05. Justin Miller (CB, NYJ) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ Another DB who will go get the ball in the air, and is a dangerous return man. Competitive position in the Meadowlands. Antajj Hawthorne (DT, Oak) ÃÆââÃâìâÃâ¬ÃÅ At least until the next drug test. A first round talent drafted in the sixth. http://www.fantasyguru.com/football/...idprookie.html |

Eleanore Denegre and Ezeckel Reichert, both students from Billings West High, have been selected as semifinalists in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Program. The nationwide semifinalist pool represents less than 1 percent of high school seniors, and the number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state's percentage of the national total of graduating seniors. To advance to being a finalist, Denegre and Reichert and their high school must submit a detailed scholarship application, providing their academic records, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment and honors and awards received. They must also write an essay and earn SAT scores that confirm their earlier performances on the qualifying test. They will be notified in February if they have been selected as finalists.

metamorphic rock
metamorphic rock
Any of a class of rocks that result from the alteration of preexisting rocks in response to changing geological conditions, including variations in temperature, pressure, and mechanical stress. The preexisting rocks may be igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks. The structure and mineralogy reflect the particular type of metamorphism that produced the rock and the composition of the parent rock. Metamorphic rocks are commonly classified by type of facies, predictable mineral assemblages associated with certain temperature and pressure conditions (see, e.g., granulite facies).

Thoughts on the recipe? I haven't brewed it yet. Imperial IPA 15 lbs Pale Ale malt 2 lbs honey malt 1 lbs Corn sugar .5 lbs Belgian Munich malt .5 lbs CaraPils malt 1 oz Brewers Gold hops (60 min) 1 oz Columbus hops (60 min) 1 oz Cascade hops (15 min) 1 oz Ahtanum hops (15 min) 1 oz Chinook hops (10 min) 1 oz Cascade hops (10 min) 1 oz Centennial hops (5 min) 1 oz Falconers Flight hops (5 min) 1/4 Tsp Irish moss WLP001 California Ale yeast
I wouldn't use chinook for anything other than bittering in the boil. MAYBE 30 minutes, but not a huge fan of it as a flavor/aroma hop. Up to you though.
6 ounces of dry hops and only 2 ounces during the boill? I think you'll be way low on your IBU's. I'm assuming a 5 gallon batch. I would also cut the crystal in half.
Oregonians: trade canned goods, homebrew, fresh produce, and more at chowswap.org!
Yeah I would cut the crystal back to a half pound as well to help dry it out. And you may want to consider replacing about a pound of the base malt with a pound or so of corn sugar to help dry it out even more, if you're into that sort of thing. I'm not really sure what's going on with the hop schedule or what exactly you mean by "finishing hop" but I agree that you need more hops in the boil. You listed 10 oz of hops, which I think is a good total number, but I would use them differently. I think 1 oz of Columbus to bitter is good; you could even up it to 1.5 oz if you wanted. 1 oz of Cascade at 30 is fine. With the remaining 8 oz I would use 5 of them between 15 minutes and flameout, then dry hop with 3 oz. I would shoot for a BU:GU ratio of 1 or higher. EDIT: Maybe cut 2 pounds of base malt and replace with 1 pound of corn sugar to maintain about the same OG.
Thank you for the suggestions. I think i've totally reworked the recipe now haha.
did you brew this yet? had a chance to taste or are still waiting for it to age a bit? looking for an imperial IPA and i'd like your thoughts on how it turned out thanks

How to Make Skinny Elastic Headbands
Posted by
onWhat you will need:
- 1/8″ colored skinny elastic (chocolate brown shown)
- Fabri Tac glue or hot glue
- needle and thread (optional)
- tape measure
- scissors
- felt
- silk flower
Step One
Cut your elastic to desired length. Be sure to leave a little extra on the end (approx.1/4″) so you can overlap the elastic when it is glued or sewed. The recommended lengths are as follows (including the extra at the end!).
- Newborn – 13 3/4″
- 3-6 Months – 15″
- 6-12 Months – 16 1/4″
- 12m – Tween – 17 1/4″
- Adult – 18 1/4″
You can also measure by wrapping the elastic around your little girl's head to get a true custom fit.
Step Two
Attach the ends of your elastic by overlapping them about 1/4″. You have two options here – sewing or gluing. If you choose to sew it, double up on your thread and make about 5-8 stitches, making sure the elastic is secure when you apply pressure. Any color thread is acceptable since this part of the elastic will be covered by an embellishment. Your second option is to glue it. I use Frabri Tac glue because it dries quick, clear, and with no fumes. It is also very strong! However, a small bottle costs about $9.00US so this is a pretty expensive way to go if you are only planning to make a few headbands.
Step Three
Prep your embellishment. The most commonly used embellishment is a silk flower, but use your imagination and creativity for a completely new look! Silk flowers can be purchased at most craft stores, and your possibilities are endless! Most flowers have a center where it is attached to the stem. Pull gently and the flower should pop right off. The flower I'm using in this example had a beautiful multi-colored center that had to be cut out in order to truly remove any stem left on the back of the flower. Once the pieces are separated, glue the petals and center back in place using either Fabri Tac or hot glue. Give the glue a few minutes to take hold before continuing.
Tip: To add a little extra to your headband, you can also choose to make the center of your flower a pearl or rhinestone! Check the scrap-booking section of your local craft store to find them with flat backs so you can easily glue them on. Also try the brads with a rhinestone center to hold your flowers together.
Step Four:
Choose a color of felt that will compliment the color of your flower and elastic. Cut it into a neat circle that will fit on the back of your flower. You can also cut it into a nice flower pattern as I have done, using a die-cutter machine, to give it a really professional look. (Felt flowers are also sold at Elastic by the Yard).
Step Five:
Using the glue of your choice, sandwich the elastic between your flower and the felt piece and allow to dry for at least an hour.

#3 always gets me at the range. I was there with my husband the other day, I carry a Glock 19 and love it. I have thought about going smaller but the trade off hasn't seemed worth it enough. I love my mid-sized gun. I can conceal it, sometimes it takes effort, sometimes it doesn't, (and sometimes I don't care..lol).
There was a group of guys next to me, around my age- 27, and this guy pulls out a LCP! I had to fight back a laugh! The group was looking over at me as I was shooting at 20 yards and they are punching a hole in at 5 yards.
I am lucky in the holster department since my husband makes custom holsters. So I get to be pickier and my holster drawer did not cost as much.

What is Wrong with the New York Jets?
Posted by Erik Manassy on Nov 18, 2011 in Main, Opinion | 4 comments
I am one down and out Jets fan this morning. Tim Tebow continues to show why he's worth the hype and Mark Sanchez continues to lose his confidence in games as it seams when the pressure is on. Can you put this entire loss on Mark's back, no, BUT he certainly contributed and when things go bad, you look at the QB. Throwing a pic 6 WILL PUT YOU IN THE LOSS COLUMN more times than not.
Many fans will (and are) blaming Mark Sanchez and they are starting to lose confidence that this should be the QB leading our team. I know you can say it's the lines fault not to protect him, OR, it's the routes the WR run but Mark cannot continue to throw interceptions especially for touchdowns.
TheJetsStream Yes, this was a bad loss for the Jets. However, dismissing it as "Same Old Jets" is an easy + unfair out. Team has found success w/Rex as HC 11/18/11 3:48 AM |
Let's look at what else contributed to the loss. I think the blame should go to:
Special Teams gets a big fat F
Mike Westhoff must still be screaming and seething. This was such an unprecedented display by a usually strong special teams. Punting, kick returning and field goals were all terrible.
Where is the Identity of the Jets Offense?
This Jets team lost it's identity from the last two years. Known as the "Ground and Pound", this Jets team only runs the ball 40% of the time compared to the 50+% in previous years. It would be ok if Mark was playing better, but he looks like a fish out of water. Mark is staring down receivers and is unable to see the entire field of play.
Rex Ryan
judybattista The shame of Jets performance is that defense was great for most of the game. But all-out blitz on the big play? What?? 11/18/11 8:18 AM |
Why did Rex put that personal and call that play on the last play of the game. I know we like to be aggressive but the play he called had to be run to perfection to stop Tebow and Eric Smith took the wrong angle allowing Tim to score and win the game.
Mark Sanchez
Yes Mark has to be put under the microscope. It's great that Rex and the rest of the players support him as they should, but Mark needs to play a lot better. I'm not saying he needs to automatically start throwing over 60% completion but he needs to stop the blatant mistakes. Throwing interceptions for touchdowns will not win you games.
It seems that when the pressure is turned up, Mark loses his confidence. A lot can be said about body language. When you see him walking to the huddle or out of the huddle he looks deflated. Players feed off of that confidence, or lack of. Look at Tim Tebow. The man sweats confidence. I believe Mark Sanchez has all the tools needed to win in this league, but if you took Tebow's confidence and attitude and transplanted it into Sanchez, wow.
The Denver Broncos are super-charged and they rode the back of their extraordinarily athlete, Tim Tebow. Is he a great QB at this point, no, but all the guy does is win. All Mark does is show inconsistency.
People who know me, know that I'm a supporter of Mark, but this is the first time that I'm starting to really question if Mark is the guy to take us to the Super Bowl. This clearly is the lowest point of Mark's career and now I want to see how he will react. He continue the downward spiral, or he can pick himself up and prove that playing QB in the toughest market can be conquered.
BrianCoz I would caution those burying the #Jets this morning. Schedule is pretty easy rest of way and Rex thrives at times like this 11/18/11 8:28 AM |
So what does the future hold for the Jets? They have 10 days to recover from this loss and get ready for the Buffalo Bills at home. At 5-5 and many losses in the conference, the Jets are digging a deep hole for the playoffs and they may not be able to recover from it. Let's hope I'm wrong.
rodboone #Jets playoff hopes are on life support because their AFC record is atrocious & they've lost to Oak, Den, & Bal — so no tiebreakers there. 11/18/11 2:43 AM |
Sanchez is not a Throwing QB period, Get him OUT, REX, is the Problem Here for not seeing this issue! they should have made a BIG chainge along time ago to the Newest addition to the QBs and let him go!!! Nothing getts easier, it all gets harder because everyone is so close to being in the Playoffs, Jets will loose this because REX is not going to Take out Sanchez!!! PERIOD. Anyone want to bet me!!!! i didnt think so, NOW, anyone saying Scotty is the Issue is not a Real FB guy and doesnt know anything about FOOTBALL!!!! REX has to see over everything, he is LEADER!!! Pull a QB when he is not doing to well, id a pulled him weeks ago!!!!
Big A
You, my friend, need to go learn a bit more. Research what Schotty has done and you will see that he is HORRIBLE, and no feel for the game. Check out Pennington's stats in Miami after Schotty. Check out Favre's stats after he left the Jets.
A young QB needs consistency and success to build confidence. He also needs good coaching, and that apparently is lacking.
it is not the lines fault at all, Sanchez cannot throw, three years and he still cant throw. very unaccurate on the Run and very unacurate under pressure = LOSER
Expecially with the Wide recievers this guy has is incredable, not to see anyother QB come in and atleast TRY to win a game, Sanchez hasnt won ANY games, it has been all Deffense this year. if we didnt have a deffense, sanchez would be staring at a Goose Egg!!!! -
I to have been a big supporter of Sanchez over the course of his pro career but last night really opened my eyes. He seems unable to completely read defenses, he misses throws that should be basics of an NFL qb. The 2 obvious ones were the pixk 6 and over throwing a wide open DK in the back of the endzone…those 2 plays were the reason we lost the game. Those two plays were all on Sanchez, so I believe he in fact single handedly lost us the game. Since when does a defense holding an opponent to 10 points on a game a bad thing? Our offenses inability to put up points cost us that game.

The Associated Press put out a good story over the weekend noting that many of the "jobs plans" being pushed by the Republican presidential candidates don't seem especially likely to, well, create jobs. The AP doesn't break a whole lot of new ground here, but it does a good job rounding up arguments and analysis from a variety of sources—from heterodox conservative economist Bruce Bartlett to survey data from business groups—to make the case that, whatever the merits of GOP solutions like lower marginal tax rates and relaxed regulation, they seem largely unresponsive to the current employment crisis.
My favorite part of the story, though, comes at the end, when the AP catalogues what the candidates have said on how they'd respond to the housing and foreclosure crisis. From the article:
After the Oct. 18 GOP debate in Las Vegas, a center of foreclosure activity, editors of the AOL Real Estate site wrote, "We didn't hear any meaningful solutions to the housing crisis. That's no surprise, considering that housing has so far been a ghost issue in the campaign."
To the degree the candidates addressed housing, they mainly took a hands-off approach. "We need to get government out of the way," Cain said. "It starts with making sure that we can boost this economy and then reform Dodd-Frank," which is a law that regulates Wall Street transactions.
Bachmann, in an answer that mentioned "moms" six times, said foreclosures fall most heavily on women who are "losing their nest for their children and for their family." She said Obama "has failed you on this issue of housing and foreclosures. I will not fail you on this issue." Bachmann offered no specific remedies.
Romney told editors of the Las Vegas Review-Journal: "Don't try and stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom. Allow investors to buy homes, put renters in them, fix the homes up and let it turn around and come back up."
Perry spokesman Mark Miner said the Texas governor's "immediate remedy for housing is to get America working again. … Creating jobs will address the housing concerns that are impacting communities throughout America."
To summarize, in order: pablum; more pablum; a coherent commitment to laissez-faire; boilerplate. "Ghost issue" is putting it kindly. The AP might have added that Mitt Romney's 59-point, 160-page economic plan (PDF) uses the words "housing" twice, "foreclosure" once, and "mortgage" once—all in a discussion of the roots of the economic crisis, not in the section where he lays out his solutions. (Meanwhile, the conservative press seems no more interested in this issue than the White House press corps: The Wall Street Journal's opinion page, which faulted Romney's plan for "shrink[ing] from some of the biggest issues," used not one of those words a single time.)
It's unsurprising that the GOP field is reluctant to spell out policies designed to stem foreclosures, alleviate mortgage debt, or stabilize home prices: to do so would be politically dangerous. As Douglas Holtz-Eakin told The Washington Post's Ezra Klein in a much-discussed article published a few weeks ago, "the politics on housing are hideous"—because who wants to help pick up the tab when his neighbor can't make the payment on a loan the bank never should have approved? Holtz-Eakin speaks from experience: he was the architect of then-presidential nominee John McCain's plan to deal with housing debt, which was reviled by conservatives whose support McCain needed. (Left-leaning observers didn't love it, either.)
But there's every reason for political reporters to follow the lead of the AP and the outlets it cites here, and do what they can to force housing onto the candidates' agenda. (That goes for coverage of the incumbent in the White House, too.) Partly that's because of the human suffering and the damage to local and regional economies that results directly from the foreclosure epidemic. More broadly, it's because the housing crisis is inextricably linked to our ongoing economic struggles. When the bubble popped, a whole lot of people discovered they weren't as rich as they'd thought, and found their mortgage debt—incurred during the boom years—looming larger than they'd anticipated. Even people who weren't at immediate risk of foreclosure have sharply cut back on consumer spending to focus on "deleveraging"; that sucks money out of the economy, contributing to widespread job losses from which we've yet to recover. Meanwhile, with prices still falling and access to credit for prospective buyers extraordinarily tight, we're witnessing a historic collapse in new homebuilding, which devastates the construction sector.

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now it was clear to Joab, the son of Zeruiah, that the king's heart was turning to Absalom. | 1 Joab son of Zeruiah knew that the king's heart longed for Absalom. |
2 And Joab sent to Tekoa and got from there a wise woman, and said to her, Now make yourself seem like one given up to grief, and put on the clothing of sorrow, not using any sweet oil for your body, but looking like one who for a long time has been weeping for the dead: | 2 So Joab sent someone to Tekoa and had a wise woman brought from there. He said to her, "Pretend you are in mourning. Dress in mourning clothes, and don't use any cosmetic lotions. Act like a woman who has spent many days grieving for the dead. |
3 And come to the king and say these words to him. So Joab gave her words to say. | 3 Then go to the king and speak these words to him." And Joab put the words in her mouth. |
4 And the woman of Tekoa came to the king, and falling on her face, gave him honour and said, Give me help, O king. | 4 When the woman from Tekoa went to the king, she fell with her face to the ground to pay him honor, and she said, "Help me, O king!" |
5 And the king said to her, What is your trouble? And her answer was, Truly I am a widow, and my husband is dead. | 5 The king asked her, "What is troubling you?" She said, "I am indeed a widow; my husband is dead. |
6 And I had two sons, and the two of them had a fight in the field, and there was no one to come between them, and one with a blow put the other to death. | 6 I your servant had two sons. They got into a fight with each other in the field, and no one was there to separate them. One struck the other and killed him. |
7 And now all the family is turned against me, your servant, saying, Give up him who was the cause of his brother's death, so that we may put him to death in payment for the life of his brother, whose life he took; and we will put an end to the one who will get the heritage: so they will put out my last burning coal, and my husband will have no name or offspring on the face of the earth. | 7 Now the whole clan has risen up against your servant; they say, 'Hand over the one who struck his brother down, so that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed; then we will get rid of the heir as well.' They would put out the only burning coal I have left, leaving my husband neither name nor descendant on the face of the earth." |
8 And the king said to the woman, Go to your house and I will give orders about this. | 8 The king said to the woman, "Go home, and I will issue an order in your behalf." |
9 And the woman of Tekoa said to the king, My lord, O king, may the sin be on me and on my family, and may the king and the seat of his kingdom be clear of sin! | 9 But the woman from Tekoa said to him, "My lord the king, let the blame rest on me and on my father's family, and let the king and his throne be without guilt." |
10 And the king said, If anyone says anything to you, make him come to me, and he will do you no more damage. | 10 The king replied, "If anyone says anything to you, bring him to me, and he will not bother you again." |
11 Then she said, Let the king keep in mind the Lord your God, so that he who gives punishment for blood may be kept back from further destruction and that no one may send death on my son. And he said, By the living Lord, not a hair of your son's head will come to the earth. | 11 She said, "Then let the king invoke the LORD his God to prevent the avenger of blood from adding to the destruction, so that my son will not be destroyed." "As surely as the LORD lives," he said, "not one hair of your son's head will fall to the ground." |
12 Then the woman said, Will the king let his servant say one word more? And he said, Say on. | 12 Then the woman said, "Let your servant speak a word to my lord the king." "Speak," he replied. |
13 And the woman said, Why have you had such a thought about the people of God? (for in saying these very words the king has put himself in the wrong because he has not taken back the one whom he sent far away.) | 13 The woman said, "Why then have you devised a thing like this against the people of God? When the king says this, does he not convict himself, for the king has not brought back his banished son? |
14 For death comes to us all, and we are like water drained out on the earth, which it is not possible to take up again; and God will not take away the life of the man whose purpose is that he who has been sent away may not be completely cut off from him. | 14 Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him. |
15 And now it is my fear of the people which has made me come to say these words to my lord the king: and your servant said, I will put my cause before the king, and it may be that he will give effect to my request. | 15 "And now I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, 'I will speak to the king; perhaps he will do what his servant asks. |
16 For the king will give ear, and take his servant out of the power of the man whose purpose is the destruction of me and my son together from the heritage of God. | 16 Perhaps the king will agree to deliver his servant from the hand of the man who is trying to cut off both me and my son from the inheritance God gave us.' |
17 Then your servant said, May the word of my lord the king give me peace! for my lord the king is as the angel of God in his hearing of good and bad: and may the Lord your God be with you! | 17 "And now your servant says, 'May the word of my lord the king bring me rest, for my lord the king is like an angel of God in discerning good and evil. May the LORD your God be with you.' " |
18 Then the king said to the woman, Now give me an answer to the question I am going to put to you; keep nothing back. And the woman said, Let my lord the king say on. | 18 Then the king said to the woman, "Do not keep from me the answer to what I am going to ask you." "Let my lord the king speak," the woman said. |
19 And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman in answer said, By the life of your soul, my lord the king, it is not possible for anyone to go to the right hand or to the left from anything said by the king: your servant Joab gave me orders, and put all these words in my mouth: | 19 The king asked, "Isn't the hand of Joab with you in all this?" The woman answered, "As surely as you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything my lord the king says. Yes, it was your servant Joab who instructed me to do this and who put all these words into the mouth of your servant. |
20 This he did, hoping that the face of this business might be changed: and my lord is wise, with the wisdom of the angel of God, having knowledge of everything on earth. | 20 Your servant Joab did this to change the present situation. My lord has wisdom like that of an angel of God--he knows everything that happens in the land." |
21 And the king said to Joab, See now, I will do this thing: go then and Come back with the young man Absalom. | 21 The king said to Joab, "Very well, I will do it. Go, bring back the young man Absalom." |
22 Then Joab, falling down on his face on the earth, gave the king honour and blessing; and Joab said, Today it is clear to your servant that I have grace in your eyes, my lord king, because the king has given effect to the request of his servant. | 22 Joab fell with his face to the ground to pay him honor, and he blessed the king. Joab said, "Today your servant knows that he has found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, because the king has granted his servant's request." |
23 So Joab got up and went to Geshur and came back again to Jerusalem with Absalom. | 23 Then Joab went to Geshur and brought Absalom back to Jerusalem. |
24 And the king said, Let him go to his house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom went back to his house and did not see the face of the king. | 24 But the king said, "He must go to his own house; he must not see my face." So Absalom went to his own house and did not see the face of the king. |
25 Now in all Israel there was no one so greatly to be praised for his beautiful form as Absalom: from his feet to the crown of his head he was completely beautiful. | 25 In all Israel there was not a man so highly praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom. From the top of his head to the sole of his foot there was no blemish in him. |
26 And when he had his hair cut, (which he did at the end of every year, because of the weight of his hair;) the weight of the hair was two hundred shekels by the king's weight. | 26 Whenever he cut the hair of his head--he used to cut his hair from time to time when it became too heavy for him--he would weigh it, and its weight was two hundred shekels by the royal standard. |
27 And Absalom was the father of three sons and of one daughter named Tamar, who was very beautiful. | 27 Three sons and a daughter were born to Absalom. The daughter's name was Tamar, and she became a beautiful woman. |
28 For two full years Absalom was living in Jerusalem without ever seeing the face of the king. | 28 Absalom lived two years in Jerusalem without seeing the king's face. |
29 Then Absalom sent for Joab to send him to the king, but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come. | 29 Then Absalom sent for Joab in order to send him to the king, but Joab refused to come to him. So he sent a second time, but he refused to come. |
30 So he said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley in it; go and put it on fire. And Absalom's servants put the field on fire. | 30 Then he said to his servants, "Look, Joab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire." So Absalom's servants set the field on fire. |
31 Then Joab came to Absalom in his house and said to him, Why have your servants put my field on fire? | 31 Then Joab did go to Absalom's house and he said to him, "Why have your servants set my field on fire?" |
32 And Absalom's answer was, See, I sent to you saying, Come here, so that I may send you to the king to say, Why have I come back from Geshur? it would be better for me to be there still: let me now see the king's face, and if there is any sin in me, let him put me to death. | 32 Absalom said to Joab, "Look, I sent word to you and said, 'Come here so I can send you to the king to ask, "Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there!" ' Now then, I want to see the king's face, and if I am guilty of anything, let him put me to death." |
33 So Joab went to the king and said these words to him: and when the king had sent for him, Absalom came, and went down on his face on the earth before the king: and the king gave him a kiss. | 33 So Joab went to the king and told him this. Then the king summoned Absalom, and he came in and bowed down with his face to the ground before the king. And the king kissed Absalom. |

Stats for 1980 Wimbledon QF(Connors-Tanner)
Connors d Tanner 16 62 46 62 62
my stats Connors served at 61%(74 of 121) He won 54 of 74 pts on 1st serve(67.5%) and 24 of 47 on 2nd(51%) 4 aces, 2 df's drew 28 return errors of the return errors Tanner made 6 were fh, 22 were bh 8 were on 2nd serve 6-15 on break points(Tanner made 1st serves on 8 of them) Tanner served at 43.5%(61 of 140) He won 39 of 61 pts on 1st serve(64%) and 41 of 79 on 2nd(52%) 16 aces, 6 df's drew 31 return errors of the return errors Connors made, 6 were fh, 25 were bh 17 were on 2nd serve 4-9 on break points(Connors made 1st serves on 4 of them) Connors had 37 non service winners: 6 fh, 17 bh, 9 fhv, 5 bhv Tanner had 39: 2 fh, 10 bh, 14 fhv, 9 bhv, 4 ov Connors was 57-83 at net(69%) didn't take S&V stats, but it seemed like he was doing it a lot, on both 1st & 2nd serves Connors had a pretty tough schedule at this rain plagued tournament. He completed his 4th round match the day before(while Tanner had the day off) And his semifinal opponent McEnroe had the day off while he played Tanner(and the other men's semi - Borg-Gottfried - was actually played on the same day as this QF) Commentators said it may have been fairer for the players if they just extended the tournament by another day. Tanner was on the end of a rather absurd decision by the umpire early in the 5th set when he hit an ace that was called a fault & the umpire decided to just 'play a let' instead of awarding the point to Tanner. Commentators said that officiating was pretty poor throughout the tournament(what a surprise) In the McEnroe-Connors SF, the same exact thing happened to Mac(hit an ace that was called a fault, the umpire gave him a 1st serve instead of the point) & commentators/fans/press acted like Mac was such a disgrace to the game even though he was 100% right. I guess because he didn't just let it go like Tanner did(though he was pretty upset as well & did explain to the umpire 'the rules') & asked for a referee in an extended conversation(which resulted in Mac getting a 'public warning' whatever that meant) |
thanks moose for the info.
do you know how many times tanner aproached the net? |
great, great match, one of the best grass court matches of the decade.
I remember Connors being interviewed after that classic..." When Roscoe is on a string like that, you just can sit and wait till it´s over...it is just bruttal" |
Neil Amdur in the New York Times:
Yesterday, when Connors was asked how he could handle the demanding load of matches against the hard-serving Tanner, McEnroe and Borg on successive days, the 27-year-old American replied, "I'll either be in great shape or dead." |
When he lost to Borg in five sets in '79, he won 79% of his 1st serve points, 46% on second serve. And his service percentage was 53%, much better than against Connors. |
Tanner served on 140 points and 47 serves did not come back: 34% |
He S&Ved on every 1st & 2nd serve Quote:
Crazy left handed Americans, good ole Tarango came along later to add some sensibility.
Connors won 30 of 50 when his 1st serve was returned (60%), and 16 of 37 on his 2nd (43%). Tanner was excellent, by contrast, when his 1st serve was returned by Borg in the '79 final: he won 28 of 47 such points, or 60%. |
In the '79 final, Tanner drew 28 return errors with his first serve, only 9 with his second. Connors failed to put Tanner's 1st serve back in play 30 times, but a majority of those were aces (16). He did really well when he could get a racquet on the ball. Tanner made 61 first serves and 30 did not come back (16 aces, 14 return errors): 49%. He served 79 second serves, and 17 did not come back: 21.5% |
AP article: Tanner, beaten by Borg in last years final, began with a stream of booming services and aced Connors five times in the first set. But as the match went on, Connors returned service with increasing success. Another AP story: After I lost the third set my returns were firm on both sides, said Connors. I was mixing it up well on my serves and turned my game around a bit to offset his tempo. |
(Just going by the numbers and by what you're saying; I haven't seen this match myself yet.) Borg made 11 clean return winners off Tanner's 2nd serve, presumably Connors got a similar or higher number. |
BTW, Connrs vs tanner looks an underrated rivalry but was tremendously hot, a total contrast with the best server of the decade against the best returner.I remember those 1974 USO and 1975 Wimbly semis, the latter being regarded as the heavisest hitting ever seen on Centre Court.tanner got his revenge in 1976. In 1979 they had a close and tight up Masters meeting that Connors won in the last set tb...and Tanner got his revenge a couple of years later in the same event, with the score being....7-6,6-7,7-6...Uncredible. |
