Austin Builder good or bad
We are meeting with our 4th builder tomorrow. It is really hard to get info on them. The 1st one was off the mark design wise, the 2nd had sky high pricing, the 3rd we loved the design but found out at dinner that he did a poor job for a friend. Crossing our fingers on number 4. Really scared of getting ripped off. Does anyone have a builder they love/hate? What are some key things to look for? Any help is appreciated.
Looking for builder or pool builder?
I just recently had a pool built by a recommended builder, however things did not go as smooth as i thought they would. I thought i did my homework by calling references. I would just say to make sure you call several references and if possible go look at some of the builders pools; hopefully you won't have the problems i had but make sure you stay on top of the constructions and monitor everything they are doing.
We are currently building a pool with Johnson Pools. They are a local, family owned/run business. We won't complete the project for a while -- we had to do a partial build of the pool now because of the sequencing of other things on a new house build -- but,so far, so good.
I'm in Austin (Texas) and I am currently building a pool. I am just past gunite and about to begin tile and coping. We used Texas Pools & Patios. I have zero complaints and they have been receptive and patience throughout the process up to this point. They definetly do not rush the build and from what I can tell have done a fantastic job. I had three separate quotes, and all were different. Ultimately going with my PB was not necessarily a function of price (it helped) but more of the feeling I got when discussing the design. I had no pressure and got honest answers to all my concerns prior to contract, and never felt like I was trying to be upsold. I recommend them based on my limited experience so far.
Good luck.
We just wrapped up building a pool on the north west side of Austin. We used Athena Pools. I visited many job sites of all the companies we interviewed, in the end I could tell the difference between one builder and another. I chose Athena based on how clean his work was for mason/electrical/plumbing and his good reviews. Key with this company is doing things correct rather than saving a penny. That is my take anyways.
Just finished mine and am very happy. I posted above, we used Texas Pools & Patios and the entire process was pretty stress free, and they were VERY accommodating to changes I made along the way and making sure I was up to date (as I wanted to be) throughout the process. There were no hidden surprises and they finished in the time frame they estimated from the beginning. I spoke with one of the owners when I had questions or concerns and all my conversations were with one of the owners not a project manager per say. I highly recommend them

The weekend!
... to the cafe, while the more daring of us went up the Gyro Drop, a free fall ride from 70m up. I totally chickened out of that one.
After lunch, some people went into a 3D horror world, but I gave that a skip (under recommendation of eatyourkimchi.com) and went to play a sideshow of dart throwing (won a booby prize) and bought a sausage on a stick. Everyone then met up and went to join the hour long line for the Atlantis Adventure roller coaster. It was ...

... a telephone box but it was actually a little tiny booth with books inside that you could help yourself to and sit in the park and read. Nifty. I don't know that I would actually want to stay outside for too long though as the smog was ridiculous. There was also that funky smell of Asia in the air and it was pretty hot and humid.
Oh well only another 11 and a half hour plane flight to go. ...

Well we did not anticipate the of shock arriving to 30 degree temps in Seoul! Neither of us have warm clothes needed, so we've spent our time here learning the city mostly indoors and on the subway:-). The cold weather has also helped us mentally start the transition back home to the US. Seoul is a beautiful city surrounded by mountains. It's clean and cosmopolitan.

The final episode of this season's 'The Joey+Rory Show' had some big news that comes in the form of ... a tiny baby. That's right, the husband and wife duo announced a new baby on the way, soon making it Joey+Rory+Baby.
Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the most important figures in twentieth century America, which makes it odd that he's yet to receive the cinematic bio-pic treatment. Now it looks like Oliver Stone will bring his story to the big screen, with 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' star Jamie Foxx playing the famous civil rights leader.
It's hard to tell if George Clooney's new film 'The Monuments Men' will be an Oscar favorite even though it's being released in the midst of the prestige season. The latest trailer plays up the possibility that this could be a real contender, but one thing is for sure, it's got a great cast that includes Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett and John Goodman.
Don't start shining a Bat-signal at your TV just yet, but it seems Ben Affleck wasn't quite done with his TV takeover of FOX's 'The Middleman.' Affleck has teamed with longtime partner Matt Damon to bring to CBS a new sitcom starring comedian Tom Papa, but what's their 'More Time with Family' all about?
'Glee' will bring plenty of eyes to FOX this Thursday as the musical dramedy drops its season 5 Beatles theme to pay tribute to the death of actor Cory Monteith in "The Quarterback." Last week we caught our first look at the new episode that begins a brief hiatus for the series, while FOX has released both the full track list and songs from the somber hour.

The Swon Brothers were featured during the last season of NBC's The Voice. The musical duo performed many classic songs and country songs under the guidance of Blake Shelton during their time on the singing competition.
We are only a few days away from the biggest concert to rock Lawton! Cars & Guitars is this Saturday night, and The Swon Brothers are ready to make their way back to Oklahoma.
Sad news for Hollywood and fans of former FOX sitcom 'That '70s Show' today, as we've learned that actress Lisa Robin Kelly has passed away at the age of 43. Kelly had been best known as the actress behind Eric Forman's (Topher Grace) sister, Laurie Forman, eventually being replaced in the role due to her notable off-screen personal difficulties.
Just a little over a month ago, Tony Stewart raced in front of thousands of fans here at the Lawton Speedway. Today he is resting at a hospital in Iowa after suffering a couple of broken bones thanks to a crash in the Front Row Challenge at the Southern Iowa Speedway.

D90 was was part of the Z27 package in 67. To the best of my knowledge you are correct Gary. When you have ordered a package that includes the stripe it would not be listed. But as I am finding out it "may" be shown on the cowl tag, sometime in 67 with a 0-0 paint code, or a "-" toward bottom of tag right of options 68 and later.
My original question was how was this shown, what code was used, on window sticker. This I am being told was 1001AA Special Paint.
Is this correct?

HoopsHype Kelly Olynyk rumors
Emiliano Carchia: Kostas Papanikolaou will play in the BBVA Comprass Rising Stars Challenge during All-Star Weekend, According to Greek Site SDNA, Twitter @sportando
Celtics head coach Brad Stevens divulged that big man Kelly Olynyk, injured on the team's recent road trip, will miss at least another week with a sprained right ankle, and perhaps longer. "I don't anticipate him playing until after the All-Star break," Stevens told reporters following Saturday's practice. The Celtics have six more games before All-Star weekend, including five in the next seven days. Boston Globe
Marc D'Amico: Kelly Olynyk is out for at least another week, says Brad Stevens. "I don't expect him to play until after the All-Star break." Twitter @celtics
Boston Celtics second-year big man Kelly Olynyk wore a protective boot over his sprained right ankle while meeting with reporters after Thursday's practice and said he's uncertain when he'll resume basketball activities while waiting for pain and swelling to subside. Olynyk injured the ankle when he landed awkwardly on the foot of Portland's Thomas Robinson chasing a rebound in last Thursday's win over the Trail Blazers. Olynyk returned home from the team's extended road trip for further testing and could be sidelined util late February, especially with an extended All-Star break looming next month. "It's tough with something like an ankle, everyone is different," said Olynyk. "It could be a week, it could be three weeks, it could be a month -- you never know. I'm just trying to get better and evaluate it each day, and take the next step whenever it's deemed necessary." ESPN.com
Gary Washburn: Brad Stevens on Olynyk playing in Rising Stars: "Obviously there's no way we would want him to do it unless he was 100 percent healthy." Twitter @GwashburnGlobe
Jessica Camerato: Rising Stars Challenge World Team: Adams, G. Antetokounmpo, Bogdanovic, Dieng, Exum, Gobert, Mirotic, Olynyk, Schroder, Wiggins Twitter @JCameratoNBA
Kelly Olynyk's sprained ankle will keep him sidelined for about a month or longer according to Celtics head coach Brad Stevens. The injury occurred in the fourth quarter of Boston's 90-89 win at Portland on Thursday night when Olynyk landed on the foot of Blazers forward Thomas Robinson. CSNNE.com
Stevens said Olynyk is back in Boston and will have additional tests this week to better determine the extent of his injury. "Unlikely to be available until potential right at or after the all-star break," Stevens told reporters. Stevens added, "I think it's a sprained ankle. The MRI will tell us more but he got it pretty good. It wasn't just a twist." CSNNE.com
After the Wizards' 133-132 double-overtime win over Boston on Monday, Bob Tramonte asked Celtics center Kelly Olynyk what he wanted to do. Olynyk, who scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the loss, said he wanted pizza from the Italian Store, which has become an Arlington institution since it opened in 1980. The Italian Store was closed by the time the game ended, but that wasn't a problem, because Tramonte is the store's owner. His son, Michael, roomed with Olynyk at Gonzaga for a couple of years after being introduced to the former Zags star by his cousin and Olynyk's college teammate, David Stockton. Tramonte is married to the twin sister of the wife of David's dad, NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton. Washington Post
Tramonte is more used to seeing D.C. athletes in his store, including Nene, Stephen Strasburg and Ryan Zimmerman. Brother-in-law John Stockton has also stopped by. "I have a pretty good picture of John Stockton taking a pizza out of the oven," said Tramonte, who met his wife, a Gonzaga alum from Fairbanks, Alaska, while she was working for the governor of Alaska's office on Capitol Hill. "My kitchen manager is from Sicily and he said: 'This guy would be good at making pizzas. He's got big hands.' " Washington Post
Instead, because of the personnel deficiencies facing the Celtics, Olynyk has to play the 5. He may be seven feet tall, but he is not an NBA center. And it's wearing on him in a big way. After averaging 14.4 points per game through the Celts' first eight games, Olynyk has cratered, putting up just over seven per game in their last nine with a couple of donuts sprinkled in there. He recently went through a four-game stretch in which he shot a mind-boggling 3-for-21 from the floor. Boston Globe
But none of this – not the reduction in minutes or points scored – has anything to do with offense. It's the other end of the court that's slowing Olynyk down. He works hard but no amount of preparation can make up for the fact that he's simply not equipped physically to deal with the rigors of being a traditional NBA big man on defense. It's probably not a coincidence that those four games in which he could barely buy a hoop came against Portland, Chicago, San Antonio and Atlanta, all teams with big, strong, athletic bigs. Olynyk has real problems handling that kind of opponent on defense. He's even had issues with end of the bench guys like the Spurs' Jeff Ayres (see above) and the Grizzlies' Jon Leuer. Boston Globe
A. Sherrod Blakely: As expected, Danny Ainge confirms the #Celtics will pick up the options for Tyler Zeller, Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk. #Celticstalk Twitter @SherrodbCSN
"It'll be alright," Olynyk said of his wrist. Told how even minor injuries tend to become big stories in these parts, he playfully added, "It's not career-ending." ESPN.com

ELIZABETHTOWN – A Hardin County grand jury returned felony indictments against 24 individuals this week as part of its April session.
Of those indicted, nine are accused of drug offenses, seven accused of theft, three accused of violating child custody or support laws, two accused of sex crimes or endangerment crimes, and one accused of bail jumping.
THE ISSUE: Academic achievement
OUR VIEW: Well-deserved recognition
Sports fields and arenas aren't the only venues where our local students excel.
Later this month two Elizabethtown High School seniors, Jacqui Powell and Laura Pait, will be will be honored in Washington, D.C. where they will receive a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. The award is coveted by many veteran professional reporters, editors, photographers and broadcasters who have tried repeatedly and failed to add one to their portfolios.

CECILIA — Jane Tabacchi's students can't believe she teaches them twice a week for free. But now she's getting her reward.
Tabacchi has been named 2009 High School Volunteer of the Year by the Kentucky Coalition of School Volunteer Organizations. She received the award recently at a ceremony in Shepherdsville.
Tabacchi teaches a small-group reading class to Central Hardin High School students who need extra help in reading.

suggestions on controlling horsetail requested
Requesting for suggestions on methods for control and eradication of horsetail. I have told usually a combination of roundup and cross bow is generally used.Are there any other proven methods. I have horsetail in my suburban yard.They have spread over 1000 sq feet among planted perennials.
Pull them out by hand.
I have equisetum that is literally everywhere but I do not want to eradicate the plant and enjoy that it is doing so well though it seems to dominate certain areas. It generally grows near the surface and if your soil is moist you can easily just pull up the stalks. do not compose.
If you want to keep some growing try containing it in an enclosure that is buried into the ground. You may also wish to donate some to a local school for study of this very ancient plant!
To clarify.
When I pull up the plant it is not breaking off the visible stem but pulling up the visible stem plus that part of the underground stem that the visible stem is coming from.
This effectively stops any further growth at that point because it is gone! The areas in my yard that I have not done any pulling are heavily grown in with the horse-tail.
the areas that I have pulled up the stems are cleared but that does not mean that continued growth into the area will not occur.
Give it a try and see how you feel about it. Using herbicides is really not the way to go. I avoid them except for weeds in the cracks of sidewalks.
my garden club does the annual plantings around our local library in MI-and it was full of horsetail. about 2 years ago after googling many, mnay web sites, I think it was Purdue U that told me they did an experiment on several plots of horsetail. Hand pulling it made no difference in the following year, it was just as thick as the uncontrolled test plot. Roots extend over 4 feet down. The only thing that worked for them and for us-was Poison Ivy strength Round-up. Every week, I spray a little bit on JUST the feathery plant that showed its head out of the soil. a time consuming and back-bending job, probably used about 3 qt bottles the first summer. But now we have very few plants that pop up. The birds must have dropped some poison ivy seeds, because I have seen a few of them, & they are getting sprayed too. Being very careful to hit only the horsetail and poison ivy with the spray, most people do not know those problem weeds are in the full, colorful beds
Your suggestion conforms with many other suggestions I have received. Do you remember the specific brand of roundup that was used. Also what kind of health safety precautions I must take to apply this herbicide ?

Retouch3D cleans up the glitches on 3D-printed items
If you've never used a 3D printer, then you might not be aware of the fact that the objects they create don't always emerge in their final, flawless form. They often contain small printing errors, fringes of stray material, and supporting structures that need to be removed. Retouch3D uses heat to melt away those imperfections. Read More
Riding a stationary bicycle trainer can be boring, which is why Zwift and ebove were created. Both systems feature first-person videos of computer-animated cycling routes, that the user interacts with as they're cycling on the accompanying trainer. Now, Spain's Bkool has entered the picture. It's much like the other systems, although along with offering thousands of pre-made videos of real-world roads, it's also able to render them from scratch as the cyclist is riding. Read More

Global trends appear to be moving towards a future where in many markets, car ownership may look like an expensive, impractical and inconvenient way to get around. So what's the next model of personal transport, and where do the big automakers fit in? Ford's new global VP of Research and Advanced Engineering, Ken Washington, sat down in Melbourne for a "crystal ball" discussion about autonomous cars, on-demand vehicles, car sharing, smart parking, multi-mode transport, and how a car company might learn to cater to a new generation of customers that are far more interested in upgrading their phones than getting their driver's licenses.

Monk. You have a no cooldown escape move, a heal, a pet to draw attention, an immunity shield that doesn't suck, and some other stuff. Pretty darn safe.
Posts: 1,059View profile
Monk seems to have a lot of resilience. I guess it depends what you mean by safe though. Generally ranged will be "safer" than melee, but it's all about style.
Posts: 48View profile
so you plan to build a char that is "safe" rather than play what you want?
i just soloed hell mode and now am in inferno with a wizard.. wizard for me
Posts: 212View profile
ive been plowing through the game with honestly not even any real near-death experiences using a Witch Doctor...
has a good amount of heals: (soul harvest, spirit walk, haunt) and the passive which makes you regen 1% life/sec is absolutely amazing. (my regen is over 400hp/sec)
awesome escape mechanisms with Spirit walk, the passive that makes it so a hit that should of killed you sends you into a spirit walk with 10% health instead, the one that scares everything away..
great AOE slow with the grasp move with the slow rune..
and still tons of awesome DPS skills both AOE and single target
((SIDE NOTE: WRITING THIS MADE ME REALIZE HOW LITTLE I PAY ATTENTION TO THE ACTUAL NAMES OF ABILITIES AND PASSIVES!!! lol))

There is no safe character to get to Act IV legit.
look at the furthest progress so far, was by a monk whom died on a2 belail.
i am under geared on my monk and 25-35% through a2 inferno.
Monk is OP. It is why I picked this class even before release.
Posts: 50View profile
Monk has gotten farthest at Act 2 belial.
Barbarian has gotten 2nd farthest with almost double the time played of the monk at i believe the beginning of act 2, but died farming in act 1 due to a alt tab.
That being said, i think it's more about the player than the class itself. Monks are much safer however with 2 abilities that grant temporary immunity to all damage. Personally I like wizards, there's no real reason you should ever take a hit unless it's from a teleport mob and even then...
im goblinf arming atm in act1 inferno using
diamond skin with more absorb rune
teleport wormhole
magic weapon with KB rune
energy armor prismatic
shockpulse orb rune
arcane orb dps rune and with a 630 dps 1 hander with 100 int I'm clearing up to adrias hut pretty fast inferno farming up.. hell was quite safe inferno.. FML

text: Football: Steelers send Japanese champions crashing in Asia Thomson Reuters on Dec 31, 1969 @ 7:33 PM Former Asian title-holders Pohang Steelers dealt Sanfrecce Hiroshima's AFC Champions League bid a crippling blow Tuesday when they beat the Japanese team 1-0 away to leave them on zero points after three games. Bae Chun-Suk's strike on 17 minutes condemned the J-League champions to stay rooted at the foot of Group G and needing a dramatic change in fortunes in their last three pool games if they are to reach next month's knock-out round of 16. Elsewhere FC Seoul survived a late fight-back to beat Japanese visitors Vegalta Sendai 2-1 and extend their lead at the top of Group E. Pool rivals Jiangsu Sainty and Buriram United were contesting a later kick-off. Sanfrecce badly needed a win to breathe life into their campaign but they were rocked by the early goal from striker Bae after a cross from Go Moo-Yul, who had breached the Japanese side's defence from the left. Bae was denied a second by Hiroshima goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa's foot on 26 minutes, before Park Hyung-Jin came close to converting a chance at the other end. South Korea's Pohang, the 2009 Asian champions, squandered several more goal attempts in the first half, while just before the break, Hiroshima midfielder Gakuto Notsuda headed Hironori Ishikawa's cross over the bar. On the hour-mark, Naoki Ishihara was denied by the width of the post when he met Mihael Mikic's cross and headed off the woodwork. Bae fired over shortly afterwards and Pohang again came close at the death when Cho Chan-Ho dribbled towards goal and fired off the right post. "We have no choice but to win the last three matches and keep believing it's possible," said Hiroshima captain Hisato Sato. "We need to throw everything at the last three matches." In Seoul, the hosts were cruising after first-half goals from Sergio Escudero and Kim Jin-Kyu, but they had to endure an anxious finish after Sendai's Brazilian forward Wilson reduced the deficit with an 87th-minute penalty. sps-th/ia

What difference does it make? Ltcg are taxed about the same as qualified divs. It is currently a nonissue or am i missing something?
I was in some of Kinder's rollups before they went c corp. RK has really used debt well so far but after he bought what I had I was too skeptical to go into kinder. I was in the drillers when they paid huge divies and got nicked on the way out as others saw dayrates drop faster than i. Hcp's assets are probably the best you can get in a reit if you are just looking at the underlying assets and what you are paying. Ohi bought some nice assets lately from aviv but they paid mucho dinero imho. If the gov't has to cut back on payments hcp should do much better than an ohi imho.
I view kmi like sdrl. It is nice until it isn't anymore. I was in esv sdrl rig and ne. Dumped epd too. I have a rule ... If you can't sleep well at night you should sell it. Too much debt makes me restless so i hit the sell button on everything that was overly leveraged. Until i see a chk sell of all its assets or declare bankruptcy i am not sure when the price of oil will back up. Reckless money makes investment decisions difficult.
Added today on the blip drop in the morning. BRK has been beating numbers but at 147 it is pretty fairly valued if you think market is at peak earnings and productivity won't pick up much in the coming years. Most companies have cut to the bone the last few years and the latest productivity numbers confirm it. Feels like late stage of bull market too with so many ipos and stocks moving 10% up or down. Time will tell. With rates so low who knows but can't really believe rates will go up with BRK plunking down so much on high cap-ex businesses the last few years. Second arnstr's 50th anniversary hoopla comment. This company like AAPL has a persistent bid. When it doesn't anymore ... it will be time to back up the truck and buy. GLTA. Anyone Omaha bound? Bucket list needs working on.
Closed out AXP and put profits into BRK, utes and a reit
SCTY is #$%$. I predict it will be crushed.
Nut job movement has never been to c.r. Their main source of income is tourists from u.s. Who have SO for their electricity company.
Don't u think HCR has been overdone a bit?
Get ready for a wild ride?
Real company with real assets and yet people put their money in pie in the sky companies. Thank heavens most people are not rational. The selloff in utilities and reits has been something to take advantage of. I don't see any reason why i will be selling this anytime in the near future so gltya.
He is the Hugo Chavez of America. Hugo was voted in ... You know that, right? Now Venezuelians can't get toilet paper or Clorox at the store but they have free healthcare and other stuff the government can't give them.
Who is the bozo?
It is all BS. Just buy good companies at reasonable prices and forget about all the noise. If a stock gets run up too much take some off.
1984 letter to shareholders and WEB's purchase of Washington Public Power bonds. Reminds me of BRK's purchase of IBM. Time will tell.
What was surprising was that Buffett called himself lazy. I wish I had the mental capacity of that man and I am only a little over half his age. Sigh. Imagine if he wasn't lazy.
I saw that. More shares = larger market cap. Also rates. If a company adds to market cap and there are cap weighted funds then they have to sell off the smaller caps to buy the larger caps. Can't see any value in selling HCP to buy HCN based on book values of the underlying assets. OHI is another one that may have an intrinsic value below its current price.
Agree with last post about interest rates. It is all BS. Like this better than ohi vtr or hcn.
Glad I closed my puts today. Looks like after hours forcing some assignments. My guess it turns lower next week again. Nice call at close 100.01 bid.
It's the European equivalent of CycleGear here. Slow and steady business. I like it.
Union not GATX. My bad.

When health affects wealth: Bullying in the workplace
The primary definition of harass, according to Merriam-Webster's, is "to annoy persistently." Webster's defines bully as "to treat abusively." Harassment is illegal. Bullying in the workplace is not prohibited by law.
"We don't use the word 'bully' as we grow up. We think it's a kid thing," said Susie Trexler, a Someplace Safe advocate in Alexandria.

Andrea wrote, "I've followed your blog for several years. I remember drooling over the investment handbag guides in college. I am finally ready to purchase my first luxury quality handbag, but am not sure what to get. Please help!"
Honestly, the era of huge statement bags has given way to more understated accessories, namely small shoulder bags and cool clutches (I rarely wear big handbags myself!). Still, if you want to invest, there are a few undeniable classics that are definitely worth the splurge:
1. Chanel Boy Bag
Some would say a fashionista's closet is simply not complete without a quilted Chanel! Though it seem as if everyone is carrying around a quilted Caviar 2.55, recent times have given way to newer silhouettes, most notably their Boy Bag, which features hammered hardware, a variegated quilted design, and a recast CC logo.
To cop one for yourself, expect to drop at least $3,700. See a few iterations below:
2. Hermes Birkin
By all intents and purposes, this is the big momma of handbags. Starting at $9,000, these exceedingly exclusive pocketbooks have yearlong waiting lists, and can top off at $150,00 for its more exotic iterations.
If you're up for the splurge, visit www.hermes.com for a boutique near you. True Story: A colleague of mine went to purchase a Hermès Crocodile Birkin at a local boutique, and was told that she couldn't just buy the $70,000 bag–she had to get on a waitlist, and could only move up the list if she proved to be a brand devotee by purchasing other Hermes items. Ish is real! If you want to get around the rigmarole (and perhaps save some coins), I'd recommend going to a certified resale shop. I love A Second Chance Resale in New York; websites like Fashionphile.com also have authentic, gently used bags for less (with no wait list!). Peruse some new and used options below:
3. Givenchy Nightingale or Antigona
Givenchy Nightingales or Antigonas are also perennial favorites. I've had mine for years, have worn it into the ground, and can say with confidence that it's certainly worth its almost $2,000 pricetag.
The Antigona option is also alluring, offering a more structured feel.
With loads of colors and contrast, you really can't go wrong.
Tip: Search discount sites like Bluefly.com for more classic styles for less.
Get either here:
5. Proenza Schouler PS1
The Proenza Schouler guys are the newer kids on the block, but their PS1 is a cult classic amongst the young and chic set.
They triumph with their more electric colors and eye catching patterns: think camo, neon yellow, or seering blue. Get 'em for about $1,600 here:
7. Saint Laurent Sac De Jour Tote
Fashioned out of polished calfskin, this work ready signature tote is designed with compression snap-straps cinching the accordion sides. With sleek rolled handles and an embossed logo, the bag epitomizes understated style.
Perfect for traveling or the office, it's a favorite amongst working moms Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie. Bags start at $2,000 and top off at around $3,000, and come in an assortment of colors. Shop below:
8. Balenciaga Arena
This soft lambskin bag has been in the game for a minute, and has been spied on Cassie, Nicole Richie, and just about every Kardashian.
It's nickel hardware, hand-stitched detailing, and optional crossbody strap makes it a must. These will run you about $1,600.
9. Chloé Paraty
Boasting a geometric shape and tubular frame, the Chloe Paraty bag showcases the French house's signature horseshoe-inspired design.
While the lambskin options are delectable, many starlets choose to splurge on the more exotic python skinned offerings, which can ring in at $3,000 and above. Scope out the various colors and options below:
10.Louis Vuitton Alma or Speedy Bag
I'm honestly on the fence about Louis Vuitton, namely due to my aversion to logos and spending major coin on canvas. That said, a Louis Vuitton bag, whether in the Speedy or Alma, is a classic for many fashionistas.
Whether camo or epi leather, ladies truly love Louis Vuitton. You can get one pre-owned for about $600; with more intricate styles, the sky's the limit:
Honorable Mention also goes to:
Michael Kors Hamilton, $348
If you don't see yourself ever shelling out 5 figures for a Birkin, but want the look, the Hamilton bag will help you get the look for less. It has a similar shape and clasp placement, with a little more MK gilded jazz. Get yours for about $350 here:
The goldtone hardware on the bottom of the compact bag is what gives it its edge. Though it skews casual, it's definitely sturdy and timeless. It can ring it at around $1,000, but you can catch it on sale for half price. Get yours here:
3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel
This unsung staple has zipper gussets at the front and brushed gunmetal hardware. It's understated, yet oh so chic. Get yours starting at $650 here:
Of course this post is about investments, meaning you're going to spend a lot of money at one time for one item. But rest assured: in most cases you're getting your money's worth and will be able to carry your bag for years. Another great things about designer bags: when you're tired of them, you can still get some money back by reselling them!
If full price is not in the cards for you, try resale sites like ASecondChanceResale.com or Fashionphile; discount sites like Bluefly.com are always good places to look. And hit up sample sales. Gilt goes HAM on Hermès.
I'd recommend Ebay, but you have to be very careful to not buy fakes (make sure you check their rating).
Though it's always exhilarating to go to a store and yell, "Charge it!", you can definitely find the same item at a lower price if you hunt for it.
Share where you find your bags for less than retail in the comments!
And also: are there any bags I missed?
See our prior posts about investment handbags here and here.
I love this post. But can we talk about how fabulous Brandy still looks? Awesome!
I love this list and all the resources! But no mention of Gucci and the Boston bag? That's another bag that has been around a long time, has tons of iterations and have been seen on the arms of man celebs.
I don't think I've ever seen Rihanna carry a bag!
Great post!
I feel like ebay sellers are the best kept secret in the fashion world. I've read some recent blogger posts that mentioned they get a lot of their designer items from ebay but NO ONE ever name names. We get the standard PC line of check their ratings/feedback. I do understand why though because once the secret is out it's out… I'll just have to put in the research.
Great post Claire………….I loveeeeeeeeeee this blog!
I love this… Thank you, Claire.
I haven't purchased a "statement" bag in awhile 1.) the few I have are sitting my closet 2.) I carry small totes not so high end 3.) I've been dreaming of a quilted Caviar 2.55!
Great post :)
@Enigma – eBay is where it's at!! I have found so MUCH on the site, it's almost an obsession. I have seen many consignment shops like EDropOff, Yoogi's Closet, and Fashionphile sell their stuff on eBay.
EVERYONE – make friends with the asst manager of these boutiques. Friendship = exclusive sales, employee discounts and even runway tickets.
Claire you look stunning in that pic I actually thought you were an eyewear model!
That's a Celine Phantom not a Celine Luggage tote

Recent Fiesta Key Reviews
Awesome place to stay!
We stayed here in May 2014 with our two toddlers. First time using home away and our first time going to Disney and I couldn't of asked for a better vacation! The townhouse was so clean and more then enough room! My whole family loved it here. The kids would actually ask to go back to the "vacation home" while at Disney world haha Marry was great and always got back to me right away and made booking easy! Hope it's available for our next trip!
Joanne Johnson
My family had a great stay in your home in July 2014 . The home was extremely clean and decorated nicely Walmart and all of the shops were just 5 mins away . I was happy to know it I needed you you were just a phone call away . We will be returning soon
We stayed at here in June /July 2014. This condo is delightful. It is very well decorated and has everything to make the stay enjoyable and comfortable. I am very particular and this place was clean, updated and very well maintained (even the community pool area). We stayed here for part of the time my daughter and I attended separate conference at the Disney World facility. The drive is an easy 10 – 15 minutes even when traffic was heavy. There is a lot to do from this central location. Shopping is located nearby and easy to find. The owner goes out of his way to be helpful and is fantastic to work with. I would definitely stay here again and have recommended it to a family member who will be travelling to Orlando. I cannot say enough about how pleasant and relaxing this experience was. Thank you!

Chico Strawberry, Strawberry Adriatic or JH Adriatic
Good day, can some one of you fig experts shed some light on the difference of these 3 figs? Chico Strawberry, Strawberry Adriatic or JH Adriatic
Are they the same fig? I have several Strawberry cuttings that rooted after about 6 weeks in plastic bottles and placed in a container. They are growing strong but needed more heat in my opinion to push out buds, leafs and roots. According to Jon's website, Strawberry and Adriatic are the same, but what is a Chico Strawberry? It really confusing to me and Jon website just relates the 2 to itself. thanks in advance, Dennis
Jose, your ROCK! I followed your instructions and found Sue's thread. Heck it was Sue that sent me some Chico Strawberry cuttings a few months ago. And those cuttings are doing Great! I have another Strawberry fig purchased last year from eBay. It's about 24 inches tall. And a Chico Strawberry purchased on ebay last year also 20inches tall. They look the same to me; which is why I posted the question. I revisited Sue's web page and her mother tree is beautiful. Mine should look like that. Thanks Jose. cheers, Dennis
Dennis:I have a Gardener friend,in North Jersey that also have a large collection of figs tree,more like a selection,because he just like me is allwayes looking for new better Varieties,and discards,varieties that did not performed well.
He Told me that JH Adriatic,is at this point his best tasting ,and producer fig.
I know how Honest this person is,so immediatelly I aquired,a dozen cuttings,from wich I managed to grow a few plants.
I am very anxious to taste this one myself.
I do have Adriatic from UC Davis,but it just do not want to grow here. It is 7 yrs old and still 0 inches high.! !!
Herman2 I laughed so hard at your email! For a fig tree to be 7 years old and has not grown is strange. I've already placed my order to UC Davis for next year. They emailed me and thanked me for the order. But I don't remember if I added the Adriatic. I need to take a look at my order and resubmit if it's not on there.
I got one Strawberry and one Chico Strawberry growing side by side. They look the same. However, I'm going to wait till my Chico Strawberry cutting grow this year and see if all 3 are the same.
I owe sue some Lamperia cuttings but my Lamperia isn't 24 inches tall yet. But it does have 2 branches. I pinched the tip after the 6th leaf and it branched out. I've been pinching my trees for about a month now and it works great. The main branch has 3 figs on it and growing strong. I'm going to have to air layer the other branch and send it to Sue once it roots because I don't want her to wait till next year for cuttings. It was so nice for her to send me the cuttings and every cutting she sent has rooted and leafed out and growing strong. Thank you again Sue!
Dennis:It is 0 inches Tall,because it doesn't matter how well I protect it,it dies to soil level every year,and every three yrs or so,I get a couple of ripe fruits,but that is it.
The Black Ischia is acting the same,and a few other varieties,most of them from UC Davis.
I have a new opinion about why,now after about 10 years growing cuttings from them.
I think,because it is so warm and ideal for fig in Central Ca,the plants of UCDAVIS,are losing,their resistance to cold,over the years.
So this reason,+ and the Fig mosaic,wich is prevalent in the orchard,makes them unsuitable for cold climates.
Most of their plants were started,in the year 1900,and so they had a long time in Ca,long enough to lose whatever adaptation,to cold they had.
Ok, I understand now Herman. I think these figs need a lot of heat. Here is a picture of my Strawberry Fig:
And below is a picture of my Chico Strawberry fig. The leaf patterns are different.
Neither has fruit at the moment but I expect some to come soon. Those white disk you see are ant baits. They work pretty good. cheers, Dennis

I would support
... a constitutional amendment to fund exploration science via taxes; even though there are both benefits and problems with this.
History is filled with examples of governments funding explorers, inventors and philosophers, many of which came to nothing, but some of which profoundly changed human history.
Just consider the moon landing in 1969. It was the result of competition between governments, not the free-market. The fact that moon-madness quickly blew over and humans haven't returned to the moon since just shows that the free-market hasn't yet considered such an endeavor worthwhile. In fact, the growing programs calling for a return to the moon today are *still* almost all government funded. Then consider the numerous probes various governments have sent to visit other planets, moons and asteroids. What we've learned by doing so is immeasurable and priceless. Only very recently have entrepreneurs seriously proposed profitable mining missions to nearby asteroids, and it may not happen for decades yet.
The bringing together of minds to solve the problems of space exploration have been, arguably, some of the best tax dollars which have ever been spent wrt quality of living around the world. Not only does it inspire invention, but it also inspires new ideas and careers. And at least the money is spent here, domestically.
Now, there are also problems with this kind of government funding, in that the agencies the government chooses to fund are basically monopolies, which means the costs for their research will inevitably rise. Also, we are dependent on a notoriously naive group of bureaucrats to pick and choose which science is the best to fund. They are usually wrong, and the question is: are we willing to put up with a bunch of worthless science in order to harvest a very few valuable gems?
Another problem is that every type of initial exploration funded by government is eventually taken over by the free-market after the latter gains confidence. So the agencies being funded by the government now usually become entirely obsolete in the future, and must be defunded, often with much resistance. But might this be a benefit in disguise? By spearheading journeys into new frontiers, is this kind of funding perhaps paving the way? Not only for the free-market, but for the inspiration of the next generation?
In any case, let's make it a constitutional amendment. It is tough for me to support this as a libertarian, but I believe it is worth the cost.

Stirring pot of truth
Stirring pot of truth
The fact that Mr. (Dick) Peterson goes back and blames George W. Bush proves the truth of what I said. Real leaders can take the heat, Mr. (Barack) Obama and his supporters can't.
I intend to keep stirring the pot with the truth.
That is the end of my discussion on this subject.

I need landscaping ideas.....please!
I know many of you may have seen pics of my new build on the Home forums...building houses and small houses....under Phoggie's house...and I am sorry to say that I do not know how to cross post pics...but of someone would give this a try, I would appreciate it.
My house has no steps...so I do not want anything very high in front of the porch...ground is still settling, so no walks, etc. yet...everything MUST be very low-maintaining, due to age and physical disabilities. There aren't any landscapers in our little town, so any and all help os greatly appreciated!
There is a "choose file" button while posting so you can add a picture (only one) that's on your computer. (Must choose file again, if you edit the text before submitting.) If the photos are at a hosting site, find their html cold and paste it into the message, for as many pictures as you want. Experiment to see it in the preview mode.

Thanks trovesofttrillums for posting a pic of my house....
The first pic is the front of my house that I am needing help lanscaping.
Please remember...keep it very simple and inexpensive as possible...I am not able to take care of anything that needs much maintenance, due to health reasons.
Thanks for all help...without a landscaper in the area, I do not know where to start. There will be a curved sidewalk from the front door to the drive....as soon as the dirt settles enough,

Karndean Michelangelo DIY?
Posted in flooring forum, but no response. Posted in kitchens forum, suggested I come here. So here I am. I was in and out of the bathrooms forum 5-6 years ago when we were having our bathroom remodeled, and I really appreciated all the help I got (such as advising me when the contractors did not put in a vapor barrier and when they tried to use regular drywall in the shower - shudder). Anyway, here is my tiling question from the flooring/kitchen forum:
Hi, My husband and I would like to put new flooring into our kitchen, and we are currently considering Karndean's Michelangelo Adriatic Blue (see link). We currently have a cheap sticky tile on the floor. Whatever we choose, we need it to be a DIY project, which is why we don't want to do real stone. I know that Karndean does not recommend DIY, but I am wondering what people here think. We do not have experience doing this, but hubby is pretty handy (he has replaced most of our light fixtures, sweated copper, hung drywall, and changed out plumbing fixtures), and he is a patient do-it-right-the-first-time kinda guy. He would read all about the process beforehand and only proceed if he felt comfortable. I do not have the experience he has, but I have a steady hand and am a detail-oriented perfectionist. Yes, I am trying to convince you to say that yes, we could do this as a DIY project b/c I really want this tile! But please, give me your honest opinion. TIA!
Here is a link that might be useful: love this tile!
I didn't see where Karndean doesn't recommend it as a DIY, but I do have one question. Have you ever installed small mosaic tile anywhere before? We put in a glass/stone mosaic mix accent tile up on our kitchen BS, and it was a LOT of work grouting, and cleaning off the grout, much more work than the subway tiles were. I would not be looking forward to working with that much grout on my knees in a large area like a kitchen floor. But, maybe you're young, have good knees, and lots of patience. You'll be cleaning lots and lots of sponges (outside, not down your inside drains). Did I mention that there will be a LOT of work grouting and cleaning all those tiles! LOL
LOL! OK, My knees can stop throbbing now! I was literally feeling the pain of installing that much mosaic!
Yes, obviously it looks real! Well in photos, anyways! We did install vinyl floor ourselves in our Basement BR. We had an adjoining FR that was cleared to lay it out and measure and cut. That would be my only question (this time), do you have a place where you can roll it out other than the kitchen itself? And, remember when you have it upside down to cut, that it is the reverse image of where you are going to lay it...ask me why I caution you on this! LOL!
That is gorgeous flooring!
We recently installed an LVT wood plank look floor. It connected with self-adhesive overlapping tabs. It was not that difficult. You need to think carefully about where you will start and end, and how you will cut around any obstacles (templates work great for this).
Thanks for the advice and vote of confidence. Raehelen, I don't need to ask you how you know about cutting the tile upside down. I sew a fair amount, and I have done similar things (and then kick myself). But these tiles come in 12x12, so space won't really be a problem. At least that is on our side. Mabel, good point about fitting around things. I *think* our only real obstacle will be our peninsula. But that brings up a question. Do people pull out fridges and ranges and tile underneath? That seems like a waste, but is there a good reason to do that?
I guess this is seeming more like a reality now. I don't suppose Bill or Mongoct is reading this and would like to chime in?.....
Short answer is yes, people do pull out their fridges and stoves and tile underneath. Main reason is for ease of movement when you pull those appliances out to clean/replace etc.. You wouldn't want to pull those 12 X 12 tile up when you slide that heavy fridge out.
Having said that, we cheated with our Tigerwood flooring in our kitchen. DH installed 3/4 good one-side plywood to cover part of the area from wall to a few inches before cupboards/appliances end. But the hardwood was laid on the same level, so there's no difference to snag, etc. If you wanted to do a similar 'cheat', could you lay a less expensive (but I would color-coordinate) tile for 1 1/2 ft?
One of the virtues of the overlocking seams is it does provide some water resistance as well as keeping the flooring level -- a nice feature if you have a leak in the icemaker or someone drops something. This winter our humidifier tank handle let go and the tank crashed to the floor and 2.5 gallons of water instantly flooded the kitchen, going under the fridge and dishwasher. Vinyl flooring made it an easier clean up.
