About this project

The Idea Behind the Kangaroo Cup
A few years ago, my daughter Lily decided to make a better cup for her grandfather. She noticed that his Parkinson's Disease was causing him to spill his cup, and she started dreaming of ways to fix this. She had an idea to put legs on his cup to prevent it from spilling. Using moldable prototyping plastic, she attached legs to her grandpa's tumbler, and the Kangaroo Cup was born.
From Ceramic to Plastic
Thanks to the support of all the backers of our first Kickstarter campaign, the ceramic Kangaroo cup became a reality, and everyone started finding new ways to use the cup. Lily and her friends broke a few playing around the house, and I even broke one using it outdoors at a BBQ.
During a Team Roo meeting, we shared feedback from the users, and we all realized there were improvements to be made. There was a lot of passion behind the need for more comfortable handles and break-resistant designs that could be used by both kids and adults alike.
Eager to keep improving, we all came to the same conclusion: we need a hardier version of the ceramic Kanagroo Cup for kids of all ages.
.... And thus, the plastic Kangaroo Cup was born.
Plastic Kangaroo Cup Highlights
- Stable on uneven surfaces
- Tip-resistant three-legged design
- Elevated base means no need for a coaster
- Contoured handles provide a comfortable one- or two-handed grip
- Stackable design saves space on the shelf
- Break-resistant, stain-resistant & BPA-free plastic
- Microwave & dishwasher safe
- 9-ounce
Backer Rewards
Why Kickstarter?
Putting plastic cups into production has a much higher upfront cost than ceramic cups because of the injection molding process.
Ceramic cups are made by an age-old process called slipcasting. Plastic cups are made by a totally different process called injection molding where molten plastic is forced at very high pressure into steel molds, producing multiple cups every minute.
The steel molds for the Kangaroo Cup are likely to be the size of a small refrigerator. These molds are actually like little machines themselves with slides and mechanisms that allow the molds to open and close and form all the fine details of each cup. This kind of mold requires a whole team of experts to engineer every detail, from designers to mold makers to machinists who use expensive CNC milling equipment. It is a vastly more involved and expensive process than the ancient methods behind plaster slipcasting.
The money we raise on Kickstarter will be used to create the steel molds for the process.
Stretch Goals
Now that we have exceeded our initial goal of $25,000, we have set forth with some stretch goals. They have been careful thought through and we are very excited to announce them....
$45,000 - Kangaroo Pouch
Every set of 4 cups will come shipped in an exclusive Kickstarter Kangaroo Pouch: a drawstring bag, designed by Lily, and specially sized to hold 4 stacked Kangaroo Cups. Great for picnicking, camping, boating, or storage.
$60,000 - Additional color options
Lily will pick some additional color options and our backers will get to vote on their favorites! Everyone will have the option to switch to a different color during the final survey.
$75,000 - Additional Kangaroo Cup size
Backers will be able to choose between 9-ounce (266 mL) cups or 13-ounce (384 mL) cups.
$100,000 - Matching Donations
For every set of cups purchased and donated to one of the chosen organizations, we will send one additional set of cups from Lily.
Next Steps & Target Timeline
- Finalize design in conjunction with manufacturer (2 weeks)
- Make the steel mold for the cup (12 weeks)
- First pilot run, quality assurance, and tweak (2 weeks)
- Second pilot run, quality assurance, and tweak (2 weeks)
- Full production run with packaging (1 week)
- Ships to fulfillment center (1 week)
- Final shipping to backers (1 week)
- Total expected time from hitting our goal: 21 weeks (approx. 5 months)
Risks and challenges
This product has been designed in close cooperation with the manufacturer, and Lily is supported by a team (including her father) who has brought many plastic products to market previously. There is always a chance of some delay as molds are tweaked for optimal efficiency and product aesthetics, but these should be anticipated by the above schedule. We have deliberately limited customization options to reduce any impediments to getting the product into production.
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
Lily knew that Kangaroos use their tails almost like a third leg to help them balance while jumping and standing, so she named her invention Kangaroo Cups. :)
Yes, the cups are made out of BPA-free plastic that is dishwasher and microwave safe.
Yes, you can use it for both hot and cold liquids.
We are out of stock of ceramic Kangaroo Cups, but we will be putting a redesigned ceramic version back into production alongside the plastic version with a similar delivery date (October/November). You can pre-order at http://www.imagiroo.com/buy/.
You will also have the option to add ceramic Kangaroo Cups to your order at the end of the campaign!
International shipping is expensive, and we based our $25 shipping cost on the experience we had with our previous Kickstarter. However, we've seen a lot more international interest with this project.
When we get enough backers from any given country, that enables us to send a large shipment to a fulfillment center in that country and then use domestic shipping from there. That lowers the cost of international shipping a LOT.
So far, we've heard from enough backers in Canada and the UK to know that we've hit critical mass and can offer $10 shipping for those countries.
We're currently working with shippers to determine what shipping costs to the rest of the EU would be. If we're able to determine that we have enough backers in the EU, it's possible that we can lower the shipping there, too.
It can be hard to tell what countries our backers are from until the campaign is over. But if we find out after the final survey that we can lower shipping costs to any other areas, we will do that and you will be able to choose between a refund for any extra money paid or using it as a credit toward additional cups.
If you are pledging and want your cup shipped to Canada or the UK, do NOT select international shipping when you're checking out. Instead add $10 to your pledge to cover the shipping costs.
If you've already pledged and selected international shipping, you can revise your pledge, deselect international shipping, and instead add $10 to your pledge amount.
If all this is very confusing, don't worry. If you over-pledge, we will refund your money at the end of the campaign. If you under-pledge, you can charge the difference at the end of the campaign.
At the end of the campaign, Kickstarter will charge your credit card for the amount you've pledged. You will receive a message from us to participate in a backer survey. This is where we will do several things:
1. Collect your shipping address
2. Ask you what name you would like on the Backer Plaque
3. Give you the option to change your reward selection (ie, change colors/styles)
4. Add additional cups, including ceramic cups, to your order
5. Finalize shipping costs
6. Pay for any additional cups or shipping
7. Tell us if you'd like a refund if you overpaid for international shippingWe will most likely be using a third-party company that specializes in making this a painless process. We will share more details about what to expect toward the end of the campaign.

The UAE's Abraaj initially offered 73.91 pounds per share for Bisco Misr in early November, but Kellogg, the world's biggest breakfast cereal maker.
Shareholders controlling 59.91 percent of the company's shares had agreed to sell at 89.86 pounds per share, Bisco Misr said in a statement.
Abraaj said in a statement on Wednesday it had submitted a request valuing Bisco Misr at 1.013 billion pounds to Egypt's financial regulator.
If approved, the bid would beat Kellogg's offer of 82.2 pounds. Egypt's regulator last week extended the period for Abraaj to match Kellogg's bid.
ConAgra Foods Inc says its new Healthy Choice Simply Café Steamers are made with "100 percent natural chicken."
The comments yesterday marked the first time the US military has acknowledged that the air war may have exacted a toll on civilians.
Future Group's Devendra Chawla, says "most brands will do well to realise the next big leap lies in repositioning oats from breakfast to an any time healthy convenient option."
While Tesco probably won't beat discounters on a full basket of goods, it can narrow the gap and match some items, and become more competitive.

New Music
Screwdriver (Purple Music)
Subtlety has never been one of Prince's greatest virtues. Despite having a garbage chorus ("I'm your driver, you're my screw" -- really?), this surprise new single from the Purple One is a funky, driving rock 'n' roller, filled with crunchy guitars, low-tech production and plenty of raspy wailing. 3 1/2 stars
Started From the Bottom (Cash Money)
Often criticized for pandering to the ladies with his crooning R&B sensibilities, the first single from Drake's upcoming third album is a blustery, straight-up rap track, with a sombre beat that haters will jump all over as he describes his journey from the "bottom" all the way up to superstardom. 3 1/2 stars
Hold That Sucker Down (Lange Productions)
The O.T. Quartet's (a.k.a. Rollo of Faithless and Rob Dougan) mid-'90s dancefloor classic has been reworked plenty times over the years -- and while the Builds Like a Skyscraper mix is still the best, this latest version, courtesy of British producer Lange, does an admirable job updating the iconic trancer's orchestral strings with a chunkier electro vibe. 4 stars

Richard Thompson
Electric (New West)
TAKE a legendary British singer-songwriter named one of Rolling Stone's "20 Greatest Guitarists." Pair him with one of Nashville's most in-demand guitar-slingers and producers. Then plug them both in.
We're talking the legendary Richard Thompson and Buddy Miller, who produces the likes of Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris and Robert Plant, so we've got something truly electric and eclectic.
Thompson sings of love, scandal, ambition and overcoming adversity. Rockers will worship the incendiary solos on Sally B and Good Things Happen to Bad People. Fans of '70s-era funky blues rock will applaud Stuck on a Treadmill. Salford Sunday and Saving the Good Stuff for You tastefully tread the line between country and folk.
Add even more talented musicians contributing fiddle, accordion, mandocello and hurdy-gurdy, plus the silky smooth vocals of special guest Alison Krauss on The Snow Goose and it's one fine recipe for sonic satisfaction. 4 stars

John Smith
Minor League MVP (Foultone Records)
LOTS of rappers talk about keeping it real, but Winnipeg's John Smith doesn't have to. Big Smitty is part of a very select group of MCs whose words twist and turn the everyday into moments of authenticity and been-there-done-that storytelling. Sure, the Churchill-raised wordsmith born Joseph Winter can boast with the best of them, but his working-class hip hop builds on a tradition that doesn't compromise on integrity.
Girls, booze, samples from Bon Jovi, '90s rock icons, razor-sharp pop culture references and Winnipeg slang all make appearances on the Kutdown-produced Minor League MVP.
The one-two punch of Restless Leg Syndrome, with its Nirvana bassline and local rapper Nestor Wynrush on the hook, and party rockin' Bazooka Joe really set the tone on Winter's sixth release, the second full-length album he's put out in under a year. Whether it was on the mcenroe-produced Ol' Man Winter or with Kutdown's head-nodding beats on Minor League MVP, Smitty seems to be in the zone, knocking out verses that show an MC at the top of his game.
John Smith performs live on Feb. 16 at the Windsor at the album release party for Ol' Man Winter and Minor League MVP. 4 stars

Toots and the Maytals
Reggae Got Soul: Unplugged On Strawberry Hill (Isis/Metropolis)
FREDERICK "Toots" Hibbert has been the hardest-working man in reggae music since his career began in the late 1960s in May Pen, Jamaica. This two-disc set (CD+DVD) is a valuable addition to the singers' estimable catalogue, and for fans is something of a blessing.
The "Strawberry Hill" location is Island Records founder Chris Blackwell's idyllic cliffside digs in the verdant Blue Mountains of Jamaica, and it was here that Toots and his small band recorded these Maytals classics. It's not a long trawl at only 12 tracks, but the acoustic setting (with two of Hibberts' young daughters adding lovely backing vocals) perfectly suits this reggae master's loose and soulful style.
The included DVD adds much to the value of this collection. The entire SH set is here, plus a somewhat formulaic new documentary on Toots' expansive career. The real bonus is the Live At Rockpalast 1982 set that gives you a much better idea of what power there is in this man's charismatic stage presence and his startlingly powerful pipes. Hibbert is still gigging, of course, and this collection is a worthy testament to his talent and longevity. 4 stars

Wayne Shorter Quartet
Without A Net (Blue Note)
SAXOPHONIST Wayne Shorter returns to Blue Note, the label that released his great 1960s recordings such as Speak No Evil and Adam's Apple.
It is a triumphant return with his quartet, formed in 2000, of pianist Danilo Pérez, bassist John Pattitucci and drummer Brian Blade -- a band with a innate sense of intuitive interplay.
The CD has eight quartet tracks from a 2011 European tour and the 23-minute Pegasus, with its elegant movements performed by the quartet and the Imani Winds quintet at a Los Angeles concert.
Orbits, a Shorter tune from Miles Davis's Miles Smiles, opens the disc with Shorter's soprano sax making it clear this is jazz performance at its peak. His solo on Myrrh, the shortest track, is a gem.
Six of the tracks are new compositions, augmented by Orbits, Plaza Real from his Weather Report years, and Flying Down to Rio, the title track from the 1933 Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie.
Shorter sound fantastic as he approaches his 80th birthday in August. His playing and ideas are as sharp, as innovative as ever. 5 stars

Who Takes More Steps Per Day?
Who would you guess walks more? Americans or Australians? Americans or Swiss people? Men or women? Single people or married people? Good news for your idle curiosity and/or your deep interest in comparative fitness competitiveness—researchers at the University of Tennessee have gathered the data and crunched the numbers, and the big step contest loser is....America! All the rankings, which are actually pretty interesting, after the jump.
What's The Best Way To Get Rid Of Pesticides?
You may recall the alarming list of the dirty dozen, as in the twelve most pesticide-laden fruits and vegetables. Celery has never seemed so scary. Obviously the best way to avoid eating pesticides is to buy fruits and vegetables that weren't sprayed with them in the first place. But short of that, what's a consumer to do? Douse your potatoes with a fancy fruit and vegetable wash? Soak your blueberries in soap? Hold your horses, reports the New York Times. In fact, recent studies show that simply rinsing your fruits and vegetables in tap water is as effective as soaping them up or washing them with rinses. The water temperature doesn't matter. Friction does. Tap water and friction—so lovely, so FREE.
Poet Laureate
McSmack Milkshakes
This probably won't come as a surprise to anyone, but it turns out that the milkshake bringing all the boys to the yard keeps those boys coming back for more, and more, until their appetites are only appeased when the streets flow with the chocolate blood of a thousand leaky Frosties... Which is to say, junk food is addictive. Like drugs.
This Study Should Convince Your Boss to Sponsor Your Kickball Team, No Prob
- Step 1: Print this study.
- Step 2: Show it to your boss.
- Step 3: Immediately follow with request for company kickball team sponsorship.
- Step 4: Move right along to kickball team jersey design.
Here's the gist — the healthier you are outside work, the more productive you are on the job. The researchers surveyed over 10,500 workers at 49 different companies between 2005 and 2009 and found that more than 10% of sick leave and productivity loss were due to health-related lifestyle factors outside the workplace. Their conclusion: primary health interventions (like kickball team sponsorship!) contribute to maintaining a productive workforce.
The Tennis Grunting Advantage
Grunting in tennis. Players may do it just because, wow, they're hitting that ball really hard and that kind of exertion naturally elicits a vocal accompaniment. But a new study shows there may be a little more to it — Grunting might give loud tennis players a distinct advantage over their quieter peers. In the study, participants watched video of tennis and had to hit a button as quickly as possible to indicate which direction each shot went. When there was an "extraneous sound" with the video (aka a grunt), they were much slower and much less accurate in their responses. Granted, these weren't professional tennis players with steely concentration. These were just college students. But still, grunting, howling, shrieking, whatever...it definitely messes with your opponent.
Space Gyms
The First Space Hotel: Will The Gym Suck?
Last time we chatted about space, it was to discuss the fact that while Boeing and others are building tourist space buses, if you want on the bus, you've got to be very fit. (And rich, but I like to imagine that's secondary). Today, we bring you another bit of space and fitness news. A Russian company has announced plans for the first space hotel. The hotel will reportedly have facilities for "scientific research, media projects and entertainment." No mention of the gym?! As we all know, bad hotel gyms can really dampen your enthusiasm for travel. To the Russian space hotel builders: I may never visit your hotel, but for the sake of my dreams, please build a pimpin' gym. Colbert-related equipment optional.
Depression and Weight: Being Heavy Gets You Down
If you're obese, your odds of being depressed are significantly higher than if you're normal weight, according to a recent survey. The Gallup-Healthways survey, which consisted of 250,000 interviews between January and September of this year, found that 23.2% of obese Americans report having been diagnosed with depression, versus 14.3% of people of normal weight. That's a pretty remarkable jump. Interestingly, only 14.9% of people who are overweight report having been diagnosed with depression, barely more than the percent for normal weight individuals. Obesity is also bad news for negative feelings of stress, worry, anger, and sadness, with obese individuals reporting higher percentages of those feelings across the board. The only people reporting higher rates of stress, worry, anger, and sadness than obese people? Underweight people. So basically, we all know our weight affects how we feel, but at either end of the spectrum, it really really affects how we feel.
Vitamin C To Boost Your Mood
Interesting new study: In a double-blind clinical trial, patients admitted to a Montreal hospital received either vitamin C or vitamin D supplements for seven to ten days. The moods of the patients who got the vitamin C shot way up, while the moods of the patients who got the vitamin D showed no such improvement. What does this mean for you? Well, maybe not a lot — "About one in five acute-care patients in our hospital have vitamin C levels so low as to be compatible with scurvy," said one of the doctors who worked on the study. And you probably don't have vitamin C levels that low. But that said, if you're in a funk, you might as well try a little orange juice. At the very least, it'll be tasty!
Even If You Regain Weight, Resistance Training Keeps You Healthy
Here's a sad fact: Most people who lose weight regain at least a portion of that weight. Here's a happy fact: New research shows that even if you put back on a few pounds, if you do resistance training, you can maintain almost all the positive health effects of weight loss. Among the positive effect witnessed among people who regained weight but nonetheless kept up a resistance training regime: Maintenance of all the improvements acquired through weight loss in cardiorespiratory fitness, body fat percentage, systolic blood pressure and other factors. Plus significantly increased strength and lean body mass. If you regain weight, sadly, you have the problem of fat around your organs. There's no way around that. But this is definitely a silver lining — the very color of those shiny weights on the racks at the gym!
If You're Counting Calories, Food Order Matters
Americans are notoriously bad at accurately estimating the calories in their food (last we checked, only 12% of the population was even in the calorie estimation ballpark). Well, turns out we get even worse when there's more than one food to consider. If you ask people to guess how many calories are in a cheeseburger, they say 570. If you show them a salad first and then ask, they revise to say 787. The "virtuous" salad makes people view the "sinful" burger differently. But here's the trouble, show people a burger, and then show them cheesecake, and you get the opposite effect. With no "virtuous" food in the picture, people estimate a lower total calorie content for the burger/cheesecake combo than they do for the salad/burger combo. Lesson for you: If you're counting, you might want to start with a salad reality check.

I have a question...on this brew I tried my first first all grain. The brew looks pretty ugly, like muddy water. Is this normal and will it clear up or should I name it Dirty Water? LOL
It has only been a couple of days. 1.5 lb wheat. Looking back at pics of my other brew, it was a silly question. The first brew cleared up to a very nice color. 1/2 of it was Christmas gifts.
Also, even a beer that is nice and clear in a pint glass can be awfully hard to see through ~5 gallons of it in a carboy. Your beer really won't look like it's clarifying at least until fermentation is finished, and even then probably not until week 2 at some point. Depending on the yeast strain, it may never clear completely by design.

I do all my brew in a dark closet, try to keep it as cool as possible. :-)

Our one dissapointment was that the room was very stuffy. Had to have the fans going and the screen door open. Our balcony faced the pool so it did get noisy!

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for just one night in the latter part of October 2011, arriving at around 6pm and leaving before 11am the following day. For our purpose, which was a second stop off point on the drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles, it was precisely what we needed and as described on the website. The room was comfortable, clean and had adequate space for a couple with luggage. Parking was free, which in our experience was a bonus. Staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast had both cooked and continental options. We'd recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in Cambria.

Come, O Holy Spirit:
enlighten my understanding
to know your commands;
strengthen my heart
against the wiles of the enemy; inflame my will...
I have heard your voice,
and I don't want to harden my heart to resisting,
by saying 'later... tomorrow.'
Nunc coepi! Now!
Lest there be no tomorrow for me!
O, Spirit of truth and wisdom,
Spirit of understanding and counsel,
Spirit of joy and peace!
I want what you want,
I want it because you want it,
I want it as you want it,
I want it when you want it.
By Fr. John Henry Hanson, O. Praem.
"At the beginning of Lent, this Gospel teaches us too how to become Christ's welcome table-fellows. But the table to which He now calls us is that Table which is also an altar of sacrifice, an empty tomb, the most privileged place of our communion with God. We cannot think of Matthew's table without also thinking of the other, because the table of sinners and the altar from which we partake of the Lord are one and the same table. It is the place where our deepest needs are met with God's infinite bounty."
By St. Josemaria Escriva
"'We are at the beginning of Lent: a time of penance, purification and conversion. It is not an easy program, but then Christianity is not an easy way of life."
By Fr. John Henry Hanson, O. Praem.
"Traditionally a celebration of the consecrated life, the Feast of the Lord's Presentation forms an especially meaningful moment in the Year of Consecrated Life proclaimed by the Holy Father (November 2014-February 2016). Pope Francis has invited religious and laity alike to cultivate a deep gratitude for a state of life which uniquely displays the work of God's grace. Just as reverence for the priesthood and religious life are, according to St Josemaria, unmistakable signs of love for God's Church, so such veneration also shows a fuller appreciation for what God's grace can do in the lives of otherwise weak sinners (cf. The Way, no. 526)."
By Fr. John Henry Hanson, O. Praem.
"Our world, our families, our lives, are in a disarray that only God's hand can untangle and set right. We must follow His star, the star that leads us away from our ways of thinking and acting, and into the presence of Christ and His mother. Keeping our eyes trained on the guiding light of God's will prevents us from focusing too narrowly on the secondary things that He uses to bring us where we need to be."
By St. Josemaria Escriva
"'This day shall light shine upon us; for the Lord is born to us.' This is the great announcement which moves Christians today. Through them it is addressed to all mankind. God is here. This truth should fill our lives, and every Christmas should be for us a new and special meeting with God, when we allow his light and grace to enter deep into our soul."
By Fr. John Henry Hanson, O. Praem.
"Our Lady is the Mother of God, exalted above the heavens as Queen of heaven and earth—but she is still our Mother, the sister of our flesh. She is of our kind. It is hard for us to combine in our imagination her great majesty and her concern for the humblest events and struggles that make up our lives—but it is true. That is what mothers do. And that is what our Lady came to Guadalupe to tell us."
By Fr. John Henry Hanson, O. Praem.
"If the consequences of the Immaculate Conception are displayed by the obedience of the Annunciation, then the Annunciation shows what our response to the dogma of the Immaculate Conception should be: unyielding fidelity to the Lord, with a firm confidence that 'For God, nothing will be impossible' (Lk 1:37). Our Mother learned what these words meant for her and she will teach us what Divine possibilities can open up in our lives if we too respond trustingly and wholeheartedly to the Lord's calls."
By Fr. John Henry Hanson, O. Praem.
"It might come as a shock to find out that Advent is more about preparing for the second coming of Christ than for the first. Or better: Advent teaches us that the same attitude we have toward the first coming is the same we will have toward the second. Both the readings and prayers of this season reveal this unmistakable focus: Our purpose is not only to celebrate the past event of the Incarnation, but also to prepare for the future coming of Christ the Lord."
By Fr. John Henry Hanson, O. Praem.
"We can hear our Lord telling us: If you will be ruled by me, then you must let me walk into your life on a regular basis as one in need of your time, your patience, your understanding, your forgiveness. To submit to Christ in this way is to be truly ruled by Him. More than acknowledging His kingship in the abstract, we are honoring it in the concrete, in the heart, mind, and flesh of our neighbor. We are ruled because we are actually surrendering our control, our dominion, over our time and resources, and giving them to Jesus when and where He has need of them."
By St. Josemaria Escriva
"The liturgical year is beginning, and the introit of the Mass invites us to consider something closely related to the beginning of our christian life: the vocation we have all received. 'Make me to know your ways, o Lord; teach me your paths.'"
"May you seek Christ, May you find Christ, May you love Christ." - St. Josemaria Escriva

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Jonathan and his partner, Ed Brown After graduating from the academy, Jonathan Ingram became a police officer with the narcotics division of the LAPD. He was partners with Ed Brown, his best friend who he met at the academy. In 2008, shortly after becoming a police officer, Jonathan met his future wife, Lorraine, when her home was broken into. The two were married on August 24th, 2009. In 2011 Jonathan and Ed were accepted into the Policenauts, a group of astronauts with police training whose job was to protect Beyond Jonathan and Lorraine on their wedding day Coast, mankind's first space colony. After their Policenaut training the two moved to Beyond. Lorraine, who had been opposed to Jonathan joining the Policenauts, stayed behind on Home. In 2012 Jonathan took place in the first manned mission to Mars. In 2013 an accident while testing a prototype Yuri EMPS suit sends Jonathan drifting into space. A search and rescue is immediately started, but the search is abandoned a year later. In 2038 Jonathan was found by the unmanned exploration vessel Propaganda. He had survived the twenty-five years through A newspaper article about Jonathan's rescue the cold sleep function of the EMPS suit's survival ball. As a result, Jonathan hadn't aged a day during the twenty-five years he was lost. When Jonathan awoke in a hospital bed on Home, he found that the Policenauts had been disbanded, and his wife had moved to Beyond and remarried. The accident had also left Jonathan with cosmophobia. After his muscles recovered from being in cold sleep for twenty-five years, Jonathan started to work as a private investigator in Old Los Angeles. He also takes up smoking shortly after his recovery. Three years after Jonathan's rescue, Lorraine visits Jonathan to ask him to investigate the disappearance of her husband, Kenzo Hojo.

Burlap Bulletin Board
Add paint and burlap to an old bulletin board to give it a fresh look. If you're looking for fun craft ideas, recycled materials are a great resource. Make a Burlap Bulletin Board from Cyndee Kromminga that you can hang in an room - this decor craft will never go out of style.
- Basic bulletin board with wood frame
- Acrylic latex paint
- Paintbrush
- Ruler
- Heavy-duty fusible web
- Scissors
- Burlap
- Iron
- Protective pressing cloth
- Craft glue
- Brass, wood or lace applique
Choose a paint that coordinates with your burlap color and the color scheme of the room where your bulletin board will be used. Paint the frame and at least 1-inch inside the frame on the front of the board. Since my board had been previously painted with dark images, I painted the board's entire surface. This prevented the previous images from showing through the burlap covering.
Measure the bulletin board's cork surface inside the wood frame. Cut a piece of heavy-duty fusible web using these measurements.
Note: Heavy-duty fusible web may also be labeled as "ultra-hold" or similar description, depending on the manufacturer. This web has a very thick layer of glue, perfect for those projects that do not require sewing. In fact, sewing through fabric that has been applied with heavy-duty fusible web will cause glue build up on your needle and skipped stitches. For sewing projects, lightweight fusible web is recommended.
Lay your burlap on your ironing surface. Iron to remove wrinkles and creases. Lay a protective pressing cloth, such as a flour sack kitchen towel, under the burlap. This will prevent the glue from seeping through the burlap to your ironing surface. Place the cut fusible web on the burlap with the glue side facing down. Iron the back of the fusible web to adhere it to the burlap.
Cut the burlap around the shape of the fusible web. Peel off the paper backing from the fusible web.
Place the fused burlap on the front surface of the bulletin board frame. Lay your protective pressing cloth over the burlap. This will prevent the glue from seeping through to your iron. Press the burlap to adhere it to the board. Remove the pressing cloth while the burlap is still hot.
Since my bulletin board was a junk find, the back no longer looked new and pretty. I removed the hanging hardware, then fused burlap to the back as well. I then reattached the hanger.
Lay the bulletin board on your work surface with the front facing up. Determine which edge will be the top. Apply craft glue to the back of a brass, wood or lace applique. Center the applique at the top of the bulletin board, below the frame and on the burlap. Allow the glue to dry.

I currently weigh 117 and 6's fit me loosely. I am 5'2" tall.
When I used to be 115lbs I wear a size 3 and i'm 5'0ft
~ Chi Aleks ~
I'm going to have to say it definitely goes with your body type... I'm just over 5'1" and I've never been a size 6. I weighed between 105-110 in high school and college and was in 8s. I hate having huge hips! Although I do have to say that even though I was skinny then I was not in shape... so maybe if I had had more muscle (and weighed more too) I would have been smaller.
I am a "tight size 6" and I am 4'11 3/4" and weigh 127.
Definitely agree with everyone on here that it is determined by the brand of clothes and your tape measurements (waist and hips.) There is always a happy medium, middle-ground, compromise. Make good choices and be a great role model.
Lead by example.
I wore a size 7 when I was 15 and 127 pounds. So I am guessing for me maybe 115-120?

I am a size 4 in most brands now. I am 5 foot, 3/4s of an inch and 135 pounds.
-- Hilary
5'3" and I wear a 6 when I weigh around 127-130.
It depends on your shape really. I now weigh 130 pounds and am 5'3'' and wear about a size 8, was a size 10 or 11 prior. I have been playing field hockey for 7 years now and because of it, I am really stacked up with muscle on my thighs and butt, I have always been teased or picked out for having a big booty, so needless to say I can not fit either of them into anything under a 7.
Which is frustrating I have lost 28 pounds and maybe a size or pushing 2, it 2 at all. I put on a size 8 and my thighs and butt are feeling good, but my pant waist line is baggy, so I try on the next size down and my thighs can't breathe and I probably won't be able to get them over my butt, which sticks out a lot too. SO don't focus too much on sizes, I lost 28 pounds everyone notices and NO ONE KNOWS THE SIZE I WEAR, SO THERE IS NO REAL PROBLEM, just a mental one!

I've had that happen before myself. I bought to pairs of what I thought were exactly the same pants. They weren't. I got home and one pair didn't fit and I was going crazy trying to figure it out. I saw in tiny writing on the tag when I looked that they were low rise.
I'm chuckling reading these entries...it is nice to know that we all measure the extra 1/2 or 3/4" for height.
The one entry is spot on about the manufacturers using the smaller sizes to get us to buy their brands. What I find mystifying is trying on the same jeans in the same store, same brand, same size and even they fit differently!
I am 5' 2 3/4", 131.8 pounds and I wear size 8 to 4 depending on what brand. I am mostly in a 6.

Me being 5'1 and 131.5 all of my pants that fit just right are size 7/8(and I try to wear my pants on my hips not waist). Body types are different though, when I weighed 105 I couldn't wear smaller than a size 5/6! I couldn't shave off my hip bone no matter how small the rest of me was, lol.

I am 5'2 and currently around 129 pounds...I am a pear shape so I am still in 8s for pants, some 6 depending on the cut. The waists are a little baggy but my bum is comfortable.

I'm 5'2.5 (medium frame)and a size 4 @ 128lbs. So I'm guessing I was 135 when I was a size 6. I've been trying to get this last few pounds off for a LONG WHILE so it's hard for me to remember my exact weight at that time since it was a while ago.

Thanks for the input, everybody! It totally is tricky. I didn't realize sizes varied that much from store to store -- I buy most of my clothes at one place at the moment (can't wait to shop at the 'skinny stores'!).
I'm about 5'1.5 & 103 lbs and i wear a size 1 or 3 in juniors (depending on the brand).
A lot of it depends on where your body distributes fat, and how your bones are shaped. |
I'm afraid it's going to be hard to find a helpful answer to that question. For one, Someone who's 5'3" and wearing a size 6 is going to be at a very different weight than someone who's 4'10" and wearing a size 6. Second, it depends on whether you're talking about a 6 or a 6 petite - they're cut differently. And third, what consititutes a size 6 depends on the cut and manufacturer. Unlike my husband, who waalk in anywhere and find a pair of pants with waist size x and length y, we can try on the same size pants at 3 different stores and at one store it's a size too big, at another it's a size too small, and at a 3rd it's just right. I remember reading once that the average woman has to try on 15 pairs of jeans to find one that fits, and I believe it!
I'm at 5'1.5 and 130 and wearing a slightly loose 9-10 jeans from Aeropostale and dress pants size 8 from JCPenny. When I was 120 I was *almost* to a 4. So my best uneducated guess is about 120-125 for a size 6 dress pant. Hope this helps...
I also have a wide range in sizes. Same weight, who can figure.

As of yesterday I weigh 136 and some of my clothes are size 6. As others are saying, I can wear a wide range...anything between a 4 and a 12!
my best guess would be approx. 113-140 depending on body frame.
Depending on where you shop. It is the feel good effect. I never would of believed this but when my daughter said at some stores she is a 13,11,9, and then 7 at k-mart. I fit into a 4 at k-mart and thought what????? It's all a way of advertiseing in a way. Where are you going to spend your money on a size 12 at store X or size 6 at store Z? same jeans just different tag.?? The box says you can get skinny if you take this and the tag says you can feel skinny if you wear this..

I am 5' and 116.5 and my size 6 jeans are no longer fitting me. This morning I slipped into my favorite pair and was actually upset, they are after my favorite pair!

I am 4'10" and I was a size 6 at 118 lbs. Now I am a size 4 and some size 2. But.......I have weighed less in my younger years, down to 105 and never was a size 4 until now. It has to do with strength training. I never lifted heavy weights when I weighed 105 (many, many years ago). If I were not dedicated to strength training, I wouldn't be size 4. I hope this helps.

In high school, I remember buying a size 5. I think our body composition is different as we age. Also, some sizing is not the same. I've wore one size for years. Then I went up a size for a few more years. I would like to get back to the previous size, but I think I'll be happy to wear my present size comfortably.

I don't know how 'legit' this question is, 'cause I know a lot has to do with different body frames, different body composition, etc, etc...but in general, how many pounds are us 5'3" and under-ers when we're a size 6? I honestly can barely remember being a size 6 and at that point I didn't care much about the number on the scale, so I have no idea what weight I was. So if anyone is a size six or was or is close to that or whatever, about how much do you weigh? (Uh oh, that sounds like such a rude question!) Thanks!

We created animated characters and stories to bring to life the Madurodam experience and add opportunities for brand engagement. These 'Fantastic Friends' have become the new 'spokeskids' for Madurodam and are featured in a series of online comic book adventures and Nickelodeon tie-ins, as well as in print and digital executions. More chapters will be added to the Fantastic Friends' adventures later in the year.
Madurodam, a theme park, is one of The Netherland's top 10 attractions but typically only visited once. How do we create a sense of urgency for people to return to the park and turn Madurodam into a 'love brand'?
We developed a new brand strategy, campaign narrative, park attractions and also open up the brand to new merchandising and partnership opportunities.
Launched in April 2014. Initial results show dramatic, high double-digit, increase in footfall.

Vanessa Bruno Spring 2013
Sometimes a hard-working girl just needs to get on a plane and spend a few days underneath a palm tree in Mustique, and from the looks of things that's exactly the girl Vanessa Bruno was thinking of when she designed her Spring 2013 collection. The suiting was professional and appropriately androgynous, but what got tongues wagging were the day dresses. A restrained palette of rose, beige, and cream dominated in these pieces, and a few were accented with silvery sequins or ostrich feathers that exaggerated movement. But the cuts were body conscious in a languid way — almost as languid as a well-deserved vacation.
