DeRose: A vote for Craig's future
Saturday, October 16, 2010
To the editor:
In 2000, the Craig City Council funded Connect to Craig, which was a study of the economy of Craig and what could be done in the future to diversify our economic base.
Three things stand out in that study.
The first issue being that we need to diversify from the coal and generation base of our economy to other sources of primary jobs.
The second was the need for an effort that was targeted to improve economic development. And the third was the idea that we could have a positive effect on our economy by increasing tourism to our community.
I think that recent things happening with our coal industry will make us all keenly aware that we need to heed the first issue that we discussed. I will not spend any time on the second issue, but I want to address the idea of increased tourism.
Not long ago, we all believed tourism in Moffat County was limited to the hunting seasons and that was all there would ever be. We have to explore the idea of all that we have to offer and begin to expand on that.
We need to look at the concept that we have in the past hosted several events such as the Colorado Firefighters Convention, Christian Motorcycle Association, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, to mention a few.
We can change the face of what we do and increase our tourism industry with the proper infrastructure and marketing, and that is the concept behind the proposed lodging tax.
Infrastructure that would allow us to have a large meeting place that we as a community can meet the need of added gymnasium space and to have all of this marketed to allow for growth are the heart of this idea. If we do nothing, our present condition may be as good as it will ever get, but with action this may be the worst we see.
We will not be able to replace a coalmine with this or a power plant work force, but we will be able to supplement our economy and possibly allow time to explore other ideas that we can do to diversify our economy and build a strong base for the future.
I encourage you to visit www.progressforcraig.com and look for the answers to your questions and read the lodging tax study and tax question.
Look at the letters of support from some of the lodging industry, and also take time to look at the conceptual drawing of an event center.
There are many safeguards built in to the ordinance to make sure this works for the future. We all realize that there is no free money, but we must realize that without action to secure our future, we will surely find ourselves wanting.
I believe together we can meet the challenges we face and make a difference in our future. To repeat what my mother used to say, "Can't never went anywhere, and try went a long way."

You have really changed your tune since this lodging tax was first brought up, do you remember saying " We need to get the money out of these peoples pockets when they visit here ".
wellwell 4 years, 3 months ago
Dave DeRose,
The address is http://www.progressforcraig.com
We have such a beautiful area with activities that people are wanting to experience, horse riding, hunting, experience of sheep, cattle, buffalo, horses, elk, deer, antelope, sagebrush, juniper, ....... all in their natural setting. People like our open area and want this experience that we have each day. We are close to other areas of high visitation, but we are attractive due to our lack of congestion. People like our openness of the people also. We often miss this great sales oppurtunity. Let's use it!
I was unable to find the 2000 Connect To Craig study. You say that the conclusion of the study is: 1) diversify the economy 2) increase the economic developement 3) the tourism industry should be developed.
An infrastructure would be needed be needed to host conventions like the ones we've have in the past and should be able to host more in the future.
This sentence of proposal does seem unusual: "Infrastructure that would allow us to have a large meeting space that we as a community can meet the added gymnasium space and to have all of this marketed to allow for growth are the heart of this idea."
I looked at the Craig for Progress and indeed did see the gym, but did not see the large meeting space. Also the lodging industry collects the monies and should benefit by increasing Tourism and infrastructure related to a Tourism related Meeting Space.
We do need to move to increase Tourism and relate that infrastucture to those needs to increase our economy.
Economic Development also needs to grow its structure within and get on the Tourism bandwagon.
Mr. Derose can you address where is the large Meeting Center for Tourism and our use is in the architectural drawings? Also can you address how the gym is associated to a Tourism related Lodging collected monies?
I am throughly behind this collection of monies to support diversity in our economy thru Tourism.
greenie52 4 years, 3 months ago
wellwell, When you look at what they want to call a large meeting place is really the start of a rec. center, once again call it something else so people will vote this in instead of calling it the truth, there are a bunch of liers, and by the way what ever happen to a Sonics coming in with Wal-Mart ? How much did the Mcdonalds guy pay you people off for keeping that out of here, you want jobs and more taxes for the city and county, but it just depends on where that is.
wellwell 4 years, 3 months ago
Hit the nail on the head. The drawing shows a "multipurpose room" layed out as a basketball court. Is this the Large Meeting Room? I do not call them (liers) liars, I want some discussion.
Oh I love Sonic food and when out of town for necessary business, I surely make my meal stop at a Sonic and I certainly would have gone to Sonic here. Again, I would not a judge payments were made. Do you want to run down to Rifle?
Well, well Dave DeRose we've got some questions. Give us the answers.
craiggirl 4 years, 3 months ago
I feel a few comments by wellwell and greenie52 should be addressed. First, the statement that the City ignored the lodging industry is interesting. Both have claimed to have read information on www.progressforcraig.com, so I'm wondering if you missed the Testamonials section where three of our hotels have voiced support for this lodging tax. "The lodging industry" is not, as a whole, opposed to this tax. I'm wondering if the few vocal people who oppose this are feeling terratorial about the current County lodging tax and MCTA. If the City's tax passes, the County will soon see a decline in revenue collected, perhaps eliminating a need for MCTA.
The other issue that should be addressed is that the proposed Event Center is the beginning of a rec center. I find it interesting that just because there is space for a multi-purpose room, that can be gym space, that it's suddenly a rec center. What is the Boys and Girls Club? It's building that has flexible space - BGCG during the day, gym space sometimes, meeting space other times. Are they a rec center? Should we suddenly start looking at their funding?
I agree with Mr. DeRose's letter - we are asking people to vote for this tax to 1) continue to fund tourism marketing at a level GREATER than the current level, while 2) giving tourists (all tourists and not just hunters) additional reasons to come to Craig and space to use here.
DaveDeRose 4 years, 3 months ago
The Connect to Craig study is available at the Craig City Hall; it is not available electronically as it was done previous to everyone being online.
The concept of having Gymnasium floors is to allow us to have basketball and wrestling tournaments to bring in additional sporting events here on the weekends. That same floor conceptually is planned to be a multi-use surface that could then house trade shows, large meetings, parties and dinners. When not in use at one of those facilities could be used in local youth and adult league sports or for 100's of other ideas too numerous to list.
The idea of giving this kind of open space is that we as a community can benefit from using this space with the ultimate goal of benefiting from increase in tourism.
Most business type meetings are held in a central location with large rooms. This is similar to the event center in Billings, Montana.
This is not intended at this time to be a Rec Center, but if memory will serve you, you might remember that Moffat County School Board asked the city to fund the building of a new gym at the time of building the new middle school. This building will assist to satisfy that need as well.
wellwell 4 years, 3 months ago
citygirl and Dave DeRose,
Thank you for your responses. My posts were questioning and not negative. I'm all for the proposal and, in fact, trying to emphasize that it will benefit the lodging industry by bringing in tourists to fill the rooms.
The economic development must be also addressed. It was the second part of the study. If the Moffat County Tourism can't "get it together" darn quick and work cooperatively as group, they will have no chance to work in cooperation with the city. Here again both the county and city can and should work together, Nothing terratorial, no connections, just common sense to use all experienced personnel sources and funding sources.
Often the biggest concern of citizens are the building rather that the importance of the structure of the program. My desire to spark discussion on the building was to answer to this need. Again thank you citygirl and Dave DeRose for answering the use of the mulipurpose room/gym. This is a good start for a tourism center. This and other issues need to be publically and through discussed quickly so that the voters can be informed. When informed they will come behind this disversity of our economy thru tourism as I am.
Nadja Rider 4 years, 3 months ago
I've always supported a lodging tax, what I don't support is the high rate that is proposed. I was ok with the 1.9% and would have gone along with 2.9% - but not 6.9%! Does Craig really want to be known for the highest rate in the state? People do pay attention to tax rates and do shop around - I do.
I encourage everyone to vote NO! This bill needs to be revised with a more sensible tax rate.
Ray Cartwright 4 years, 3 months ago
Just think, now instead of just raising the gas prices for hunting season we can pay the elevated rates year round because of all the tourist business we are getting... Once again the local loses..... by the way folks 30 cents cheeper for gas in Grand Junction.
wellwell 4 years, 3 months ago
Dave DeRose, Mr. Carwell,
Can you put more information in the Craig Daily Press for the voters, Let's leave out the percentage stuff and talk more about the benefits to the lodging industry, how the tourism can be grown by the Referendum, and how this will help our overall economy.

The spec sheet suggests that the new Hyundai Tucson is a solid competitor in the compact crossover segment with great fuel economy, good equipment offerings, and a fair price. Approaching the Tucson increases your expectations, as both the interior and exterior styling stand up to comparisons with leaders like the Chevrolet Equinox, Honda CR-V, and Toyota RAV4.
Having driven it, the Tucson largely lives up to expectations. It's not the sure-bet segment winner, but there are plenty of reasons to buy this Hyundai. The interior is comfortable and the controls are accessible. The steering, while not particularly sporty, felt on par with what's expected in this segment. In most conditions, the Tucson's engine is unobtrusive and sufficiently powerful, but I have to wonder why this compact SUV doesn't use the same four-cylinder engine as the new Sonata mid-size sedan. Both engines displace 2.4 liters, but the Sonata offers direct injection and 198 hp to the Tucson's 170 hp and port injection. While the Tucson's powerplant didn't really evoke emotions either positive or negative, I thought the Sonata's power delivery was exceptionally strong, linear, and smooth. I'd also wager that the direct-injection engine could give the Tucson a fuel economy bump over its already-excellent numbers.
I do have two concerns with the new Hyundai Tucson. The ride seems harsher than necessary. It's better than in past Hyundai vehicles but still doesn't have quite the long-distance comfort that it should. The other issue is a front axle that doesn't manage turning under power very well. Tight, 90-degree right-handers from a side street onto a main road led to sharp traction control intervention on multiple occasions. The ideal solution would be a limited-slip differential, but even revised tuning of the traction control could make the Tucson a better driver.

I've tried the manually package at this link:
But when I go to reinstall Gimp, I click the costum button, but I can't check the Python enhanced.
Any help?
I really wonder why PhotoComiX does insist on the GTK+ installer. If you only want to have Python support in GIMP - which does come with the gtk+ libs - this is not necessary.
So one thing you could try is to get rid of everything you've installed, and re-do the installation without the GTK+ installer. If this does succeed, this could indicate a conflict.
Otherwise, installing Python and the three add-on modules (pygtk, pycairo, pygobject) should be pretty smooth, I've never seen anything go wrong there.
pygtk is a python module (as are pycairo, pygobject and the various modules that do come with GIMP). Its installer does not care about GTK+.
When GIMP is run, its bin directory does become part of PATH, and thus PyGTK has no problems finding the GTK+ (and Glib etc) libraries that are located there.

De Minimis for Air Emissions
Any activity or workplace that causes contaminants to be released into the air in Texas requires authorization from the TCEQ. De minimis is one of four choices a small business owner or local government representative may have available to them to satisfy air authorization requirements in Texas. The other three are:
If a small business owner or local government representative determines that an operation or activity meets the requirements of the De Minimis Rule and can show suitable proof that de minimis applies to their location, then no other state air authorization is required.
Ways to be De Minimis
List of De Minimis Facilities
Reviewing the List of De Minimus Facilities or Sources is the easiest way to determine if an operation qualifies for a de minimus authorization. That list may be obtained at:
The list may also be obtained by calling the TCEQ's Air Permits Division in Austin at 512-239-1250 and asking for the latest list of De Minimis Facilities.
De Minimis Rule
Material Use - Paragraph 2 of the rule shows de minimis limits by the amount and type of materials that are allowed to be used in a year's time. View the rule at 30 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 116
Effects Screening Levels (ESL) - Paragraph 3 of the rule shows how a facility meets the De Minimis Rule by evaluating the daily and annual emissions from the site. This chart shows the sitewide emission rate caps based on ESL: 30 TAC Chapter 116.119(a)(3) (PDF), (Help with PDF)
Record Keeping: It's the Law
Although record keeping is important for any operation, it is especially important for a small business or local government claiming de minimis. The overall requirements for keeping appropriate records and the authorization for TCEQ investigators to examine those records are found in the Texas Health and Safety Code, Subtitle C, Air Quality, Chapter 382: Monitoring Requirements and Examination of Records (Section 382.016)
At a minimum, de minimis record keeping should consist of invoices for amounts of materials purchased. Facility owners and operators should maintain enough information to demonstrate they meet the De Minimis Rule requirements. Remember that these records must be produced upon request.
In Conclusion
The phrase "de minimis" literally means "of minimum impact." It is intended that qualification for de minimis means there will be no significant contamination of the air. And it is also important to remember that the entire job site must meet de minimis standards in order to qualify under this rule.
Don't forget that de minimis is just one option when it comes to satisfying state air authorization requirements in Texas. Facilities that do not qualify for de minimis may pursue a more appropriate authorization such as Permit by Rule, Standard Permit, or a New Source Review Permit. For free and confidential assistance in seeking air authorizations or compliance guidance regarding air, water, waste, or pollution prevention issues, please contact the Small Business and Local Government Assistance Section at 1-800-447-2827 or a Compliance Assistance Specialist in your area.

ad watch
Posted by Sheila Shayon on November 19, 2013 05:40 PM
If you're still confused about what native advertising really is, you're not alone. In fact, the general topic has become such a great concern that the Federal Trade Commission is convening a workshop on Dec. 4 to hopefully clear up the blurred lines between editorial and ad content that is increasingly confusing consumers.
Native advertising, a.k.a. blended advertising, branded or sponsored content, "is a type of converged media that combines paid and owned content into commercial messaging that is fully integrated into, and often unique to, a special delivery platform," as defined by the Altimeter Group.
Key to the ongoing conversation is what publishers and ad companies must do to make sure consumers can spot the differences between different types of content. The new approach to advertising is used by practically every web publisher in some form, from brand partner stories on BuzzFeed to sponsored posts on Facebook.
Registered workshop participants include representatives from such brands, as well as NPR's Bob Garfield, former dean of Columbia Journalism School Nick Lemann, ad-tech companies like Outbrain and Sharethrough, and executives from The Huffington Post, Edelman, and Procter & Gamble, among others.Continue reading...

brand challenges

Google is on the move, expanding its two-month old Google Shopping Express, its challenger in same-delivery service to eBay Now and Amazon Prime. The service is rolling out in the San Francisco Bay Area and beta tester sign-up is now open.
Mashable reports the delivery service has "been doing well enough and worked out the kinks to expand a little more." The expansion will include more products from retail partners, improved 360-degree images for product browsing and a bigger fleet of third-party couriers. Despite the success, the service faces some steep competition. "Google faces tough competition from more established businesses and startups in the space—not to mention the fact that Google has a mixed track record when it comes to commerce," notes Mashable.Continue reading...

mobile commerce
Posted by Barry Silverstein on March 20, 2013 05:33 PM
Retailers are trying to cope with the challenge of an increasingly mobile consumer who conducts life digitally. This means meeting consumers' expectations on a whole new playing field: the mobile device.
According to Interbrand's just-released Best Retail Brands 2013 report, "retailers are mobilizing to address the larger issues around digital: Where and how does it fit into the organization? How can development teams be reorganized and silos lowered to accommodate a multichannel approach? How will the brand's culture change in response?"
While mobile sales are insignificant now, they are growing rapidly. In-store mobile payments almost quadrupled last year, and PayPal alone processed around $14 billion in mobile payments in 2012, according to Business Insider. That means mobile payments need to be a key part of future retail strategy. Just last week, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a report, "Paper, Plastic... or Mobile?" The FTC cites a KPMG survey that found that 83 percent of executives in retail, financial services, technology and telecommunications believe mobile payments will see widespread consumer adoption by 2015.
Another recent study, by JPMorgan, divides the current state of the mobile commerce market: mobile acceptance (any mobile-based payment solution), mobile wallets (applications that enable consumers to use mobile devices for payment instead of credit or debit cards) and mobile commerce (e-commerce via any mobile device).Continue reading...

I've seen a few posts on the board so I thought I would share what little I understand about the name and Nova Scotia. My dear father once told me that my own Dorey name can be traced back to the 12 hundreds until church records were burnt in the Vale Church Guernsey. There are earlier records of Dorey's in the state of Normandy that spanned the Gulf of St Malo. In the Channel Islands, technically the Duchy of Normandy ruled by the Queen of England, and in French Normandy, lost to the French by King John, Dorey sirnames take up a couple of pages of the local phone books. The spelling of Dorey in the region has been mooted to me to be a Norman spelling of the Franc name Doree, exported to the UK in 1066 to become Dory. I have heard different theories about the origin of the name, D'or for Gold, implying a Gold Gilter, a Goldsmith, or perhaps some sort of Jewish root. It may be that the Dorey's had golden hair, or perhaps Dore to sleep. Given what I know about my family I suspect sleepy is the most likely root. In the Channel Islands it was important to be good with your hands as the local economy was driven by maritime trade. During the 100 years war between England and France the channel islands became a trade entrepot between England and France. Many Dorey's were engaged in the support functions to the Maritime trade in shipbuilding, and seafaring. Other Dorey's were farmers on the Islands. It is of note that at one point the channel islands had the biggest fishing fleet in the world, and were instrumental in the setting up of the cod fisheries in Nova Scotia. I understand that many Guernseymen and Jerseymen married local innuits and settled in Nova Scotia, others settled there with their families. There is I am told a clustering of Channel Island names in Novia Scotia, such as Dorey. Thats all I know about the historical links. The Doreys are still very active in the Channel Islands with heavy involvement in the offshore finance industry. Many Islanders who remained in the maritime trades, including privateering became drawn to the financial markets in London. Is is suggested that the first generations from Gurensey went to Lloyds for commercial underwriting and later generations went to work in Lloyds to earn a more civilised crust. A recent Baliff of Guernsey was Sir Graham Dorey, who chaired the design committe which created the Guernsey Flag. http://www.bbc.co.uk/guernsey/content/articles/2004/07/21/guernsey_flag_feature.shtml Regards Martyn Dorey Notify Administrator about this message?

My master bedroom is above the garage and I'm looking for suggestions to keep it cool in the hot Georgia summers. The room is connected to our central air, but in order to keep it comfortably cool I'd have an enormous electric bill. Of course we have a ceiling fan, but that doesn't seem to help much either. Heating the room in the winter isn't an issue because I prefer a cool sleeping environment. I've been searching around looking for suggestions and have come up with insulating the garage ceiling and getting insulated garage doors. Any other suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Check the insulation in the attic. You want at least an R30 insulation value, and preferably R49. While you are up there check on how the attic is ventilated. You may need to add more vents to improve air flow. The garage ceiling must be well insulated. If it is not all the hot air in the garage will rise up into your bedroom. The garage and attic create a sandwich of hot air. This is why the master bedroom is the hottest room in the house. |
I was planning to check the insulation in the ceiling this weekend. I'll make sure to check the attic as well.thanks! |

the issue is temperature gain from the extreme attic temps that surround these rooms. we generally use spray foam on roofline..high cost but fast...& pay lots of attention to details of foam install. must be air tight to outside as you are creating an unvented semi conditioned attic..depth & type of foam must reach recommended R-values of your area. other than that...you can add a reflective foam board search southface's website for air sealing pdf's. as your central unit runs...it pulls attic air/temps into depending upon how well your existing ductwork is best of luck. |
The room over the garage cooling problem is a very common one. Agree with comments regarding better insulation to decrease heat gains as the best solution for the long run. If your looking for the cheapest way to get better cooling consider a window air conditioner albeit you'll deal with more noise. A second idea might be a mini split AC or heat pump unit for that room. Mini splits are very quiet and very energy efficient. Third idea would be creating another zone just for the master bed room (assuming you don't already have that). |

you either fix the problem or purchase more a/c to cool the area. the first is a one time cost with lifetime benefits the latter is more upfront costs & higher costs every month to operate. search the site for F.R.O.G. (family room over garage) best of luck. |

Is Egypt Better Or Worse Off Now?
By editor
It's been two years since Hosni Mubarak was ousted as Egypt's President. Today, there's new leadership, but the country is still in turmoil. And some Egyptians wonder if things are changing for the best. Host Michel Martin speaks with NPR Cairo Bureau Chief, Leila Fadel, to learn more about the new Egypt.

WTF – Chalkboard Arm Protectors
This week we're playing around with these arm covers that are supposed to protect you from getting chalk on your arms when you write on chalkboards. At least, that's what Martina says they're for, but I'm suspicious. See, I wrote on many chalkboards in my day, back when I was teaching, and I never smudged my arms on the boards. Never. I can't even imagine how you would. I write with my wrists, not with my arms, and my body is a little bit far away from the boards, so my arm is at an angle. How exactly would chalk rub off on my arm when I'm writing, exactly?
And, even if somehow, I found myself pressed up against the chalkboard for some reason – maybe because the wall is slowly smushing me, and yet I still feel the need to go on with the lesson before my imminent death – why would I need one for my other arm? Why would my other arm be rubbing up against the chalkboard? Who writes with both hands at the same time? Or who writes legibly with both hands? Or are you leaning up against the chalkboard with your left arm, because you're so exhausted and the class is so draining, while you languidly write with your right hand, and smear chalk all over your arm in the process?
What the hell?! Seriously! This makes no sense! We would easily dismiss it right away for it being so bizarre if it weren't for the fact that Martina saw her teachers using these in school. Yes: they would wear these on both arms at the same time as they taught. ARGGH! WHY?!
Students would wear them too, supposedly, because they don't want to smear ink on their arms. For lefties that's understandable, but for righties? I…I don't know. I give up. If any of you have an answer, let us know, because we're really quite confused by it. Our best answer: use these sleeves to smuggle things into the class. Yeah. That's the best idea we can come up with.
Anyhow, IT'S WTF GIVEAWAY TIME! To win this month's WTF care package containing these Arm Protectors, the Golf Pencil Stationery Set, the Dog Bunny Hoods, and the Super Fun Water Guns, all you have to do is answer our creative question of the month. The question is:
If you were a student with these arm covers, what would you smuggle into your classroom?

WTF Korea-
hey hey hey
iyou get dr. memersworth name from here?
lol -
^found the blooper reel with the Meemersworth mention :)
I just rewatched this and noticed the same thing! Mother of God!! could this be the origin of his name? I wonder….
That's originally for art classes to protect your sleeves from inks and paints. If you go to art schools you can spot them quite easily and even real professionals use it too. Chalkboard thing must be later found idea of using it. When I was middle school student, sometimes we had un-noticed sudden bag screen. We are not supposed to bring cartoon books, or make up goods and stuff, and I had cosmetic powder. We also had to pass the body search, very similar to airport body check, without cool metal detector machine but only teachers hand between your legs, arms and around your torso, and I stuck it into my "toshi", that's what it's called.. And my powder was not detected!!
I think those are great..! Yes they are for chalkboard writing/painting etc but also you must remember that white dress shirts / blouses are very common in Korea – men wear suits and ties to work. Most Korean middle school and high school students wear school uniforms, and most school uniforms in Korea involve white button-down shirts/blouses. And these literally-white-collar people mostly work at desks – now more people work with computers and these protectors are less common in workplaces – but those who spend more time actually writing esp. in pencils (ex. students), have the lower-half of their sleeves constantly in contact/rubbing against something – it is very easy to get them dirty. Many WTFs often have v good reasons!
SHINee had those same arm protectors in the Japanese remake of Reply!
So now…it's for dancing…I see
I had those. I ued them for painting, and sketching.
Cause sketch pencils are stupid and get all over your clothes and hands and forearms WHILE smudging your beautifully sketched sketch. :I
my friend told me that her global teacher erases and writes at the same time so if you write two slow you miss the notes…also HE NEVER TALKS!!!!!!
Those are not for chalkboards….. They are for painting, and in Korea, children in elementary school (3rd grade or less) do a LOT of water painting, so they use it to protect their sleeves fro, water + paint that you cannot get off!
Oh, my… You guys don't know why Korean students use them.
When we study on a desk, we use pencil all the time. And it makes smudge on a sleeve, so become dirty easily. That's why they use it. To protect from that smudge from pencil powder, make sleeve clean all the time. That is the real reason why Korean students use them.
I'm Korean. So I know it clearly.-
…we use pencils all the time too! And I'm leftie, so I get pencil all over my hand. :L Maybe they should invent finger protectors instead.
I would hide the answers to a test I didn't study for in the arm protectors.
it says "미술용 토시" it means Warm Protector(?) for Art Classes.. and I think they're for Kindergarten kids… I used them when I was 5 (in K age).
LOL! I read this in a TIME article:
"Gift stores sell special pillows that slip over your forearm to make desktop napping more comfortable."So THAT's the real purpose of these "arm protectors" ;D I kind of want one for myself now.
I bought those pillows for my nieces and these are definitely not those pillows! I still don't even really get what these things are, lol.
oh hahah ok,interesting though :D
I have Resse buttercups to send to you :) whats your address?
Reese buttercups *Yum*
If anyone asks what the bulge is I'm proclaim I have a wart…. A rather Huge Wart
Lol in chinese cultures we wear those things for cleaning and cooking so we dont get our sleeves dirty…also martina was right…..you do wear one on the right and left…because the right one is for writing and the left one is for erasing
I would hide mini-books cos I'm nerd like that. Once I got scolded at Literature lesson because I was reading book under my desk( book was Harry Potter though XD )
felix62442 –> youtube -
Darn you Martina!!! I was gonna say hamsters. But I guess I could do little tiny minion trolls that annoy everyone else because they distract them and stuffs. So then I would finally have a better grade than everyone else!!!!
"Protect from writing," your student probably meant writing class. At my school they use them for when they practice writing with traditional ink wells and bamboo brushes.
Hum, they used to have that in the Western World in the early 1900s and
before. It's to protect your clothes against spills, mostly ink when
you'd write with a quill and stuff. You often see press
operator/printers with those on in period movies and stuff. In Victorian
era, nannies, nurses, doctors and cooks and many other people would
wear those as well, too… I think I've seen that done up until the
1950s/60s or so… My granny would wear that to do laundry and household
chores, when I was a kid. Also, it helps protect your clothes' arms
from excessive fabric wear and extend their durability if you had fancy
or easily frayable material that could catch in , I dunno, nails or thistle or wood shards on a countertop or something… -
i would hide like mini maracas so that i could have a mini fiesta by myself in the back of the class. then i could also have background music as i fist pump to my fiesta
i would hide like mini maracas so that i could have a mini fiesta by myself in the back of the class
That's the best invention ever!!! specially if you are waitressing or cleaning
what would i smuggle in? oh! best thing you know those iced coffees from tim hortons? not the iced caps but the iced coffees and goodness there new freanch toast bagel so yummy. but thats not relistic so i would hide my GD pics and music lol ill leave TOP for martina
omg learned a new move!! now i need to find some 8-year-olds to practice on… just kidding! (or am i?)
i also earned not to eat or drink anything while watching any of your videos.
Getting pen stain on the skin will eventually go away (within a day or two), but pen stain on the white clothes are really hard to get rid of… (usually the top part of Korea school uniform is white)
And of course some of the students does not care, right? But how about their parents?? lol
I think I get it. Like students have lazy arms sometimes and when they write on the board they tend to just have their arm lean against the board too and that gets the marker ink on their sleeves and so it stains them and that's what you want to avoid.
I would smuggle the golf pencils in, and hope the teacher's not looking when I use them for things non-academic hehe. Youtube user: lolaa15
Ha! read the article, posted the comment, watched the video (in that order) and realized I just repeated what Simon said, fail!
I would hide in my selves Reese's peanut better cups and my ranch packets so Simon could steal them away from me. Also I would be will to share my Reese's cup with Martina if she show me some of her secret kpop dances moves.
In one arm protector I would hide..some chips,chocolates,candies,etc…and in other one a psp with a lot of games kekekeke!!
I would hide my lunch….and a psp!!! all to have a interesting class……XDDD
the arm covers things remind me of Shin Chaegyung's in Princess Hours xD she weared them in class with gym pants under her uniform and called it 'fashion' xD
I was thinking hamster… until Martina said it…. damn u martina… but sitll luv u :)
oh…. i see
I would put chalks XD at least they'd smugde chalk that way XD
felix62442 youtube
Martina!! Where did you get your sweater? I love it! :D Also, Simon … Decaf for you! XD
they're for art projects in case the paint/crayon and all those colors get on your shirt… they're called TOSHI 토시 by the way in case you guys are curious…
Well cause your sleeves does get dirty…. haha

I purchased pure Lansinoh (not an off brand) to use as a moisturizer for my fingertips and cuticles, and it is simply amazing. It is refined and has absolutely no smell.
I use a tiny pea-size amount, let it warm up between my fingers, and massage it in morning and night. Within two days, my cuticles were much more moisturized and the dry flaky skin around the edges of my nails was softened up and smooth.
The day I bought it, I burned the tip of my finger just below my nail on a hot cookie sheet. The spot turned red, and it HURT~I thought for sure it would blister. I started using the Lansinoh that night and some did get on the spot, although I didn't intentionally put it there. A day and a half later, the spot was completely gone. I don't honestly know for sure that the Lansinoh healed it, but it's definitely possible.
The only drawback is that the stuff is really greasy, but you can limit the greasiness by using only a tiny amount, and applying it exactly where you need it.
Miracle in a tube!

This review is for the Koru Naturals tub of lanolin that I purchased off Amazon.
I've been intrigued by lanolin ever since I noticed that all the lip balm formulas I love have this ingredient in them. Once I heard about the Dr. Lipp original nipple balm for lips which is 100% lanolin I've been wanting to try it but thought it was overpriced considering it was a single ingredient. The generic version is much cheaper and has lived up to all of my hopes and dreams.
It's a bit thick and waxy upon application but warms up quickly after it gets on lips. I apply this every night and my lips look and feel normal. I don't need to constantly reapply lip balm any longer (I still do a couple times a day for SPF though). The only caveat is that the generic version that I have does have a scent to it. I don't mind the scent because I don't use it during the day anyway (no SPF). I've heard that the ones marketed specifically for lip-use (i.e. Dr. Lipp, Lanolips, etc.) have less offensive fragrances so the smell isn't a deal breaker.
I had no idea my lips could be this soft and nice, and I feel like this is the only thing that moisturizes my lips instead of just coating them in product. I have already converted someone to lanolin and she feels similarly.
I highly recommend giving this a shot, especially if you have had success with lip balms that contain lanolin before.

My lips are exposed to the sun and wind often as I am an active motorcycle enthusiast, even with a full face helmet and being in AZ.
This year 2014 my lips were sunburned badly and I suffered for almost 2 weeks solid with dry, swelled, 2 painful areas on my lower lip and 1 on my upper lip. It was just horribly painful and even affected my "sense of taste" as even an allergic reaction.
I tried many OTC products to include even ordering on the internet out of sheer dispair and I was ready to actually make an appt with the doctor. Horrid!
I tried: Stopping using my toothpaste and changed it (that didn't do anything.) Tried Neosporin Lip Health (slathered heavy on @ night) it brought some comfort but did not heal, tried Corti Balm (stung my lips and made them extremely sensitive), tried Blistex (made my lips even more swollen and stung), tried Carmex (same reaction as the Blistex), tried Petroleum Vaseline (did no heal), tried opening up a Vit E capsule (offered some relief temporarily for maybe an hour), tried Olive Oil & Coconut Oil (same as the Vit E, only temporary and lasted only up to 30 mins if that!), then I read the information about using Lansinoh (HPA Lanolin). Went to the local Walmart, bought it, put it on while still parked in the car and almost immeadiately felt a relief, amazing! I used it (only takes a tiny dab) after I was able to eat again and used it prior to going to bed. Within 2 days of regular use, my lips regained a nice pinkish tone, not overly sensitive, swelling gone, not dry and taste returned.
It has now been a month and I still use just a tiny dab during the day and prior to going to bed and my lips are healed, soft, good color, not sensitive to touch. Does not interfer with my wearing a quality lip balm called Palladio Herbal Tinted Lip Balm, apply the Lansinoh first. Works for me. This past lip experience was HORRID!

2 STARS. Let me explain.
My lips had been chapped for over a year and nothing seemed to work. They got so bad I bought this after trying lots of product including By Terry's Baume de Rose. I actually opened it at the store before buying (sometimes I do this hah), and they were almost fully healed by the time I got home. Miracle right?...not quite.
So I became really obsessed with this stuff the week following thinking it was a miracle moisturizer. I applied it all over my face and mixed into my body creams. I love moisture (also this didn't break me out). Anyway, I noticed my face and everywhere I had applied it were at first instantly soft and supple. However, I noticed my makeup didn't apply nice and fresh with this since my skin actually looked dryish and less dense. Later on my face was showing signs of dryness. And most apparent (after days of slathering on constantly trying to recapture the initial effect) was that my lips had formed a hard outer layer that was sooo dry and tight, it was actually painful. I was peeling them like crazy and they were 100xs worse than before. It is possible I am allergic to this, but I doubt it because I tried this out as a hair mask and it also DRIED out my hair. If I put other Occlusives like Raw Shea etc.. into my hair as a mask I get great results...so I really think there is something wrong with the Lanolin.
Don't despair. my lips are satin and dewy now, and no longer dependent on ANY product!! I never thought I'd get to say that again. What is working? To my surprise it was actually Vaseline that healed my lips. I use the Vaseline brand lip treatment with Cocoa Butter and it gave instant relief but dewy perfect lips came about 3 days after. My lips are now perfect thanks to the cheapest thing...crazy!! Never thought the cheapest thing was the best all along. If you want perfect lips, try the Vaseline (first pick) or the ELF Lip Exfoliator (works like a very expensive prep, my second choice).
This stuff may work if you are only using it minimally, in small amount and not very often. OR possibly if you add an occlusive over it to try to lock in the moisture...Palmers stick would also work. (I also have to say I started getting nauseated by the fact I was putting sheep sebum all over my mouth. I was using a lot of this though, but I became sickened and tried to ignore it while I thought it was "hydrating" me.)
I still gave this product 2 stars because the manufacturers didn't intend this for lip balm! Infact I could imagine it working great as a breast-feeding cream, perhaps it's only intended for that maybe something with the moisture coming from the baby's mouth. I also appreciate that they haven't released this as a lip balm bc they probably are a good ethical company that knows their stuff and doesn't want to mislead consumers that pure lanolin would work for chapped lips.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Olive Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Brown
This stuff is the bomb. I developed incredibly dry, chapped, and peeling lips due to a medication I take. It was awful. My lips basically shriveled into raisins and I couldn't wear lipstick or anything for a long time. It sucked.
Needless to say, I tried everything. Nothing worked. Except Lansinoh.
This stuff is legit. I felt my lips begin to heal with the very first use. They plumped back up to their natural shape and rosy color. I'm writing this about a week later and they're 100% back to normal. It's a freaking miracle.
Lansinoh is thick but easy to spread. No discernible smell or taste. Leaves lips glossy, but an attractive, glowy glossy. A light layer works underneath lipstick or gloss, without being too waxy or slippery. I imagine you could use it for a dozen other purposes too. My tube cost $10 at Target, which may seem expensive for a lip balm but my old fave Dr. Hauschka costs about $13 for 0.17 oz. while the Lansinoh tube is 1.41 oz. It will last a LONG time, even with constant (obsessive, lol) reapplication.

After going through a six month course of a high dose of Accutane, my lips were pretty much ravaged. My bottom lip in particular had a painful deep crack that ran vertically down the center, and nothing seemed to be healing it. I tried Carmex, Chapstick, Blistex, RoC Enydrial, and tons of Aquaphor to no avail. My bottom lip was constantly hurting and it would often be bloody in the morning.
I finally bought two miniature tubes of Lansinoh (one for by my bed and one to keep in my purse) and I swear on my life that my lips began to heal after the first night. I am absolutely astounded at how quickly it worked for me. The deep crack in my bottom lip closed up within three days tops and there's no more pain. If you have severely dry or cracked lips, I highly recommend Lansinoh.

Nothing amazing for me. It's not moisturizing enough and just seats on your lips. Not buying for that purpose again.

I haven't had chapped lips since I was about 10, and now, suddenly, in the middle of the summer, my lips are chapped like crazy!
First I spread on a double-dose of my ByTerry Baume de Rose at night. This did absolutely nothing, thank you very much, Terry. (I know it's not designed for chapped lips, but I thought it was supposed to be *sort of* healing.) Then I tried A&D ointment, which didn't have much impact. I tried Aquaphor, which was better than A&D, but wasn't curing the chapping completely. So I turned to MUA, my Bible for just about everything. And here is where I read about this product, just 2 days ago. I'd never heard of it, and no longer spend time in the "Baby Needs" section of CVS, so I *never* would've run across it. If you have chapped lips, buy it. End of story.
It is the richest, most soothing potion of life. The tube costs $13, and it will last forever, because it is so concentrated that you just need a speck for your lips. After 24 hours my lips were almost completely better. After 48 hours they're back to normal, but I'm going to continue using this during the day (under lipstick) and at night because it feels so luxurious & makes my lips look moist & lovely.
(No, I would not repurchase Baume de Rose.)

I highly, highly recommend this product for dry chapped lips. This winter was so sad and dreadful and I was picking at my lips making it worse. I couldn't wear lipstick, balm anything without my lips looking uneven and even prickly looking from all the dry skin.
This (plus finally stopping picking at them) brought my lips back to normal. It's different from a regular gloss in the sense that it is more long lasting and water/wind proof. Very thick and gloopy texture, no smell really.
Thinking of what it is doesn't gross me out at all because well I feel like if it's good enough for a new born baby to ingest I must be safe:) The only issue is it's hard to find in Toronto but I finally found it at a shoppers in mississauga. My friend, when pregnant actually bought this stuff before she gave birth (a bit of a keener) and she has been using it since breastfeeding and she says she loves it but still suffers from chapped nipples. So can't really comment on that but for lips this is perfect.

I'm surprised everyone is reviewing this for use on the lips. I got a rec from nail board to use this on my dry, cracking, awful cuticles and it's been like some sort of miracle. I can't even tell you what this had done for my hands and cuticles! I also use it on my feet in the winter and the awful dryness and cracking is relieved. Great stuff, though I haven't tried it for lips.

My wife bought a medium sized topiary, wire frame shaped like a tea pot. All I know is that it is moss and we would like to know how to store it in a cold climate. Right now it is in an unheated garage. Sorry about the lack of specifics, if necessary I can attempt to find out what kind of moss it is. Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Probably spaghnum moss stuffed inside the frame. They are available from garden shops in sheets or by the bags. Usually dry moss which moistenened before it's used. It remains green but not alive. You can simply store it away in a dry area and a garage is fine. To revive it in the following season, simply spray it with water. |

"GREAT but..."
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
this is really a great little application, and to all the badmouths before me, what you should really care about is the quality of your files, and the fact that FINALLY there's a program that's out there for exactly this purpose.
personally, i don't use AAC (it sucks) and since i own an ipod i can't use vorbis so i was looking for a LAME encoder. and this is it. and it works great, because the quality of my encoded files is superb.
yes, this program is buggy, yes the GUI needs a lot of work (PLEASE make the whole thing work through one window, and have a start button to start encoding instead of starting immediately), but it does what it says it does, and it does it good.

My husband and I planted a number of small pine trees 2 years ago. Most of them are about two feet tall right now--some are taller. However, we have decided that we planted too close to one another and that we might have serious crowding problems in a couple of years if we don't move a few. As I said, these pine trees are about 2 ft. in height. Could someone give me advice on how to move these to another part of the yard without killing them. Do they have a really long taproot? |

I live in St. Louis and all the volunteer seedlings I've dug up this summer have died. Towards the end of August is much easier on the plants, if you're not in a position like me and moving the junk car they're growing under. By the way, how close do you have them planted and what effect are you going for with the trees? As far as transplanting, have the new hole predug to the best of your guess and just try to dig a foot circle around the base of the trees and get as deep as possible. Now I have something like a cart handy to set the big ball of dirt and roots on to make moving the assembly easier. |

JUST NEVER IN SUMMER .... you can work aroudn them if you have plans for the garden bed .... based on the size you have. . i have seen balls of soil about 1 foot ... i would err toward 1.5 feet ... before i type more i need to know your soil ... sand that falls off is a whole different world than soil that will stay in a ball .... i am leaving for the weekend ... send me an email if i forget to come back. .. though i hope others will tell you how to do it ... ken |

I am in Zone 6 in Pennsylvania. I have had 6' white pines planted in November that two years later are doing fine. The fall is the best time for planting trees and shrubs due to the warmth of the soil, cooler days, and fall rains (at least in my area). If these trees were planted two years ago, they will not have had a chance to develop an extensive root system, so should be relatively easy to relocate. I once transplanted yews that were this size and once out of the ground with a good root ball, placed them on a plastic tarp to drag them to their new location. Good luck. |

My husband I transfered some small pine trees yesterday and I was wondering if they are going to make it considering it is November ,it's starting to get down in the 20's at night here , if anyone has any tips and ideas so I can keep them alive I'd sure appreciate it , and also should I keep watering them every day or once a week ? |

Stewart nearly perfect for White Sox
MINNEAPOLIS -- As he warmed in the bullpen, Zach Stewart could tell he was going to have a good night. Little did he know he would flirt with history on Monday at Target Field.
Stewart wasn't perfect against the Twins, but came close as he delivered what was easily the best start of his career.
Stewart blanked the Twins, retiring 27 of 28 batters -- perfect until Danny Valencia's leadoff double in the eighth -- as the White Sox swept the doubleheader with the 4-0 victory in the nightcap following a 2-1 win in the afternoon.
"It was a lot of fun. It was just one of those things," Stewart said. "In the 'pen, the ball was coming out good. I could tell it was going to be somewhat of a good night. I didn't know it was going to be that good. But it just felt good from the beginning."
In just his eighth career start, Stewart came within six outs of tossing what would have been third perfect game in White Sox history, and the first for the club since Mark Buehrle on July 23, 2009. He also would have been the first rookie to pitch a no-hitter since Boston's Clay Buchholz no-hit the Orioles on Sept. 1, 2007, in his second career start.
Instead, Stewart settled for a one-hitter, the first complete game and shutout of his career. Stewart also had the first shutout by a White Sox rookie since Wilson Alvarez no-hit the Orioles at Baltimore on Aug. 11, 1991.
Stewart struck out a career-high nine while tossing a career-high 114 pitches and allowing only the one baserunner in the 62nd one-hitter in White Sox history and the first since Freddy Garcia on Aug. 23, 2005, also in Minnesota.
"I thought [a perfect game] was possible the way he was throwing the ball," said White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers. "All day he had good sink. He was able to locate his offspeed pretty well. Just one pitch away, I guess."
That one pitch was a sinker away to Twins third baseman Valencia, who sliced it to right field for a double leading off the eighth inning.
"It was tough because I fell behind real quick," Valencia said. "But I knew eventually he'd try to backdoor me with a heater on the outside corner, and he made a pretty good pitch, but I was able to get the barrel out there."
Stewart said he had to tip his cap to Valencia, who made a good swing on a good pitch.
After he surrendered the perfect game, Stewart was almost more impressive over the final two innings. He retired the final six Twins he faced, getting a groundout, popout, three straight strikeouts and a groundout to end the game.
Said Stewart of his performance after the double: "Yeah, I've given up hits before, so I guess you just get used to it."
Chicago scored first with a run in the second on three singles, and added another in the fifth with a Brent Lillibridge double and Alexei Ramirez single. The White Sox also scored two more in the seventh on three singles and a walk.
The four runs of support likely helped Stewart remain in the game after the eighth. Lefty Chris Sale was warming in the bullpen, and would have come in if Joe Mauer got to the plate, manager Ozzie Guillen said.
Stewart breezed through the first four innings, needing just 40 pitches to retire the first 12 batters he faced. He also got some defensive help from the left side of the infield, as Brent Morel made a pair of nice plays on grounders and Ramirez saved a hit on a liner to short.
Morel made a diving stop at third base and threw to first to retire Trevor Plouffe for the second out in the fourth. With two outs in the sixth, Morel added another tough stop and a strong throw to retire Drew Butera.
After a long flyout to right by Plouffe for the second out in the seventh, Mauer ripped a hard liner toward short that looked like it could get through for the Twins' first hit. But Ramirez took a couple steps to his right and snagged it to keep the perfect game intact.
It was after that lineout to Ramirez that Stewart really made it seem as though he could finish it off with only two innings to go.
"When Mauer hit that lineout to end the seventh, I was like 'OK, this looks like it might happen,'" said White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who watched Stewart's performance from the dugout. "Because when balls get hit like that, that's usually what you look for in perfect games or no-hitters. It didn't work out, but it was still a good game."

In this brilliant exploratory attempt (originally written in 1912-1913) to extend the analysis for the individual psyche to the analysis for the individual psyche to society and culture, Freud laid the lines for much of his later thought. Basing his investigations on the findings of anthropologists, Freud found that primitive societies and the individual mutually illuminate each other. Freud came to the conclusion that totemism and its accompanying restriction of exogamy derive from a primitive dread of incest, and that taboo customs parallel closely the symptoms of compulsion and neurosis.

What a wonderful experience
By: Tommy Martin (Jul 1, 2008)
From the moment you turn into the drive, and view the outstanding beds of lillys and other perenials you instinctively know that you are in for a wonderful experience. The beauty of the lillys are only shadowed by the Graciousness of Amanda and her husband Zane.
As you walk the grounds, of not only their business but their home you know that each plant is cared for with love and a eye for attention. The display beds are incredible , but my favorites are the digging beds where i can pick and choose.
One of the things that i like most about the digging beds is that i can visit many times during the season and select the plants that are in bloom at that time, a wonderful way to pick and choose what you will have blooming in your garden during each section of the growing season.
Amanda keeps detailed records of each plant you purchase so that you are not scratching your head going do I have that one, you know without asking. Each bag is labeled with the name of the plant , the mature height and width as well as the bloom time.
Take it from someone who ran to the lilly farm to get a few to add to the beds because nothing was in bloom, these are plants that become very addictive. From 7 that day , to over 120 varieties today. I have never regretted taking the journey and neither will you .

Where's a good place in Dallas or Kansas City to buy prom dresses? Anyone live in these areas? |
Follow-Up Postings:

Mari, You should try David's Bridal (there are stores in both locations you mentioned). They have a section for Special Occasion dresses. |
- Posted by cupofkindness (My Page) on Wed, Jan 11, 06 at 10:32
Mari: I have heard that David's Bridal is a good place as well. There is one at U.S. 75 and Walnut Hill in Dallas. There's another place in Dallas called "Whatchamcallit" that is stictly special occassion dresses. I thought they were going out of business, but when I just called I got a recorded message that indicates that they are still open. In Dallas, 972-380-1313 and Plano. 469-366-1073. This store does alterations too. However, I've always purchased my daughter's dresses at Foleys. I'd also recommend DSW Shoes, there is a large store across from Valley View Mall on Preston Road near 635. There is always an interesting variety and a big selection at that store. Is this your daughter's first prom? If she's going with a date, is he tall enough for her to wear really high heels? Remember, shop as early as you can because the best styles are the first to go. Try to get that dress by the end of February. |
Have you tried Sears or Penney's. When my daughters needed prom dresses, we went everywhere, including David's Bridal here in Baltimore, as well as all the big department stores, including the ones we couldn't afford. We stopped into Sears since it was on the way to the car, and there was the prom dress my daughter liked the best, same thing for the other one. Kind of caught us by surprise. |
- Posted by mariposatraicionera (My Page) on Thu, Jan 12, 06 at 12:35
I hadn't thought of the regular department stores. One of the things she doesn't want happen is to find another girl or girls wearing the SAME dress. That happened to my niece last year and the child almost had a stroke when she got to the prom and two other girls turned up in the identical dress. The only problem though is finding something that isn't terribly expensive (it's just for ONE night), and a bit different. We'll search all the stores where we live, and then head out of state to see what they've got. Maybe that might help. Been looking online too, but it's hard to figure out what dresses look like by this method. Thanks for the suggestions. We're hoping to make the trip in mid February (hopefully no snow). |
I can't help you with suggestions of brick-and-mortar stores, and I have never bought a prom dress, but here are a few web sites that have fancy dresses that don't cost a fortune: www.eveningelegance.com Good luck! |
If she doesn't want anyone else wearing the same dress, you might try some upscale resale boutiques. That way you'll know there aren't 10 more of the same dress on the rack. Many people don't like to wear special occaision dresses more than once and will sell them after just 1x. |
- Posted by cupofkindness (My Page) on Sat, Jan 14, 06 at 8:07
My daughter found a beautiful royal blue floor length dress at a used dress sale held every year at her all-girls high school. We also found a cute light blue short dress at the sale the year before, which she wore to the Sadie Hawkins dance. This past homecoming, her dress from Foleys was worn by another girl as well. Yikes. The funny thing about the used dress sale was that the moms running it could tell you who wore the dress and to what dance. Mari, there's also a shop at Valley View Mall called Angel Wear, and I've bought beautiful Confirmation/First Communion dresses there. The shop specializes in Quincienera (sp) apparel, so the selection is varied and the dresses are usually on the modest side. Plus, they can order a dress in the size you want. |
One way to guarantee nobody will have the exact same dress is to buy something very simple and add a key detail. For example, a very simple solid color dress - then sew on a fabulous beaded trim at the neck or waistline. Or a dress with a deep slit that you fill in with an inverted pleat in a contrasting fabric. |
- Posted by mariposatraicionera (My Page) on Mon, Jan 16, 06 at 0:59
Hey guys, thanks a bunch for the additional posts on prom dresses. Cup, I'll definitely check that shop out at Valley View. We also discussed getting a classy dress and fixing it up so she'll have no probs seeing another quite like hers. Hope this thread would be helpful to others as well. |
Great idea Sweeby...the addition of a unique detail. My DD isn't quite there yet...she's in 6th grade, but it's something to remember! Since I can definitely sew and am teaching my DD, I think it will be a good project in a few years! I used to sew most of my own clothes when I was in HS b/c I couldn't find legs or sleeves long enough + it saved money! Of course, fabric was much cheaper then!!!! |
A friend told me she and her daughter went into Bloomingdale's (is there one in Dallas or KC?) on a lark since there's no way they would/could spend the going rate at such a store on a prom dress. Lo and behold, they found the perfect dress on a great sale, and when they got to the counter there was an additional percentage off of the sale price. Needless to say, they were both thrilled. Good luck in your hunt. |
- Posted by mariposatraicionera (My Page) on Sat, Apr 4, 09 at 17:14
What a gorgeous figure the young lady has! That dress is a stunner (I love Sue Wong dresses, but I think the few I'd tried on just for fun in Neiman's were not cut right for me). Hope the girls had fun (3 years ago--wow, time does fly!). |

AT&T Park
Attendance: 42,132
San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Cody Ross provided the offense with three RBI and Ryan Vogelsong tossed 6 1/3 innings of one-hit baseball, as the San Francisco Giants handled the Colorado Rockies, 3-0, in the finale of a three-game series.
Ross went 2-for-3 for the Giants, who recorded their first three-game sweep of Colorado since August 28-30, 2009 at AT&T Park.
Vogelsong (2-0) struck out four and walked one to pick up the win. Javier Lopez pitched 1 2/3 scoreless frames and Brian Wilson worked around a two-out single in the ninth to complete the shutout.
Jorge De La Rosa (4-1) gave up three runs on four hits over six innings to suffer his first loss of the season. He also struck out seven and walked five for the Rockies, who have lost four in a row.
"You go along during the course of a six-month season and you step into a pot hole periodically, and obviously we've stepped into one," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "As we move forward we'll find out the mettle of our club."
Ross broke a scoreless tie in the fourth. Pat Burrell hit a one-out double and crossed the plate on Ross' base hit to left.
"Normal fastball counts he kept throwing his changeup and I was looking for it," Ross said of the at-bat.
Vogelsong's bid for a perfect game came to an end in the sixth. Chris Iannetta led off the frame with a single to center. Iannetta went to second on a sacrifice bunt, but Vogelsong struck out Dexter Fowler to keep it a 1-0 game.
Ross' two-run blast in the home sixth gave San Francisco a 3-0 lead. Buster Posey walked with one out and scored two batters later on Ross' homer to left.
Vogelsong was pulled after putting men on first and second with one out in the seventh. Lopez took over on the mound and got Jason Giambi to ground into a double play to end the frame.
