Thanks for the info. Didn't plan to invest more on S3. Plan to use S3 for it's convenience and learning. Will probably upgrade to a dSLR in a year or two and then add more accessaries.

Where can I rent a tux near Winter Park, Colorado?
My fiance and I have set a date and location! May 25, 2013 in Winter Park, Colorado! I need help finding and pricing places to rent a tux for the big day. The event is outdoors in the beautiful rocky mountains. I want a black tux with my groomsmen in Gray. We're looking for a place either in Denver or Winter Park because after the big wedding, her and I are flying out the next day for the honeymoon! Who rents Tuxes near Denver or Winter park? How much should I expect to pay for a rental? When should I start looking at rentals?
Help me locate a dress from Boden

Generic full length clothing for a tall dude
I'm a 6'4 dude, medium build, long arms. I wear 38/36 pants and a medium tall shirt. I am a non affiliated humanist. I would like ankle to knee length clothing, loose fitting and of plain style. Complication: cultural overloads. [more inside]
Narrow, tall or shallow washing machine to fit in a bathroom?
I am looking for a clothes washing machine to fit into a relatively small apartment's bathroom. The bathroom was not originally intended for the installation of a washing machine, though there is just barely sufficient space, so I'm looking for something that is sort of tall and narrow, or shallower than normal in dimensions, not cube shaped like the typical front loading machine. [more inside]
Wearable landscapes and scenery
I really like clothing (specifically shirts, dresses, skirts and tights/leggings) with all-over scenery or landscape prints. Where can I find more of it, and what search terms would help me zero in on it? [more inside]

How to jazz up a solid silk necktie?
Boyfriend has a solid-colored teal silk necktie he was forced to buy for a wedding. He says he'll never wear it again in it's current state as it is too "prom-y". Anything I can do to either a) make the tie more interesting (ex. a pattern) and thus wearable or b) put it to some other crafty use? [more inside]
The dress must be out there.
Mefi Sewers! I am a beginning sewer and just found a fabulous vintage patterned length of fabric (two yards x 58 inches) at a thrift shop for two bucks. I want to make a very simple a-line shift dress that is made from two cuts of fabric, front and back, that sew together on the sides of the body. A zipper in the back is ok. I cannot seem to find a pattern, vintage or otherwise, that fulfills these criteria. [more inside]

What's like a Brooks Brothers shirt, only cheaper?
Is there anything comparable in quality to, but cheaper than, Brooks Brothers shirts? I usually buy the no-iron, slim-fit BB shirts, but I'm trying not to drop too much cash, as I need to replace all my shirts (WTF deodorant stains?!). I don't like the ginormous blousey shirts that typically pass for men's dress shirts, so recommendations for something along the lines of BB's slim-line shirts, qualitatively comparable but cheap enough that I'd switch brands would be appreciated.
cold weather clothing?
I'm trying to plan a trip to Fairbanks, Alaska next March in the hopes of seeing the northern lights. I'd be happy for any tips you might have in general for trips to alaska/northern lights viewing. However, my first concern (as I do more research) is clothing - I'm in Georgia, and doubt I have anything that is suitable for March in Fairbanks. (-20 to 50 degrees?) [more inside]

Becoming an at-home tailoring whiz
Hi Sewers! I'm just learning how to sew thanks to a new sewing machine and a community college class this summer, but I'd like to develop a specific expertise in alterations and tailoring due to my love of thrifting. There are lots of sewing books out there- is there one that has an especially good chapter on tailoring and altering? [more inside]
A good re-shipping service in the UK?
I've ruined two of my favourite shirts and am desperate for replacements from Uniqlo. Sadly, they won't ship outside of UK and I can't go right now. Can you recommend (or do you know of) a reliable UK service that I could use to forward my package to Finland? I've previously used Shipito with US-only vendors and was hoping for something similar.

Clothes horse
I'm in my 20s and a man and I have a lot of trouble coming up with reasonably in style outfits. I'm looking for pictures of outfits with links to buy each component. Ideally, these would not be tied to any one brand (so, not Gap's looks for spring or something). Basically: "Wear theses things together and here is where you can find them." [more inside]

Lost a ton of weight, clothes don't fit anymore. Should I learn to do my own alterations or buy new clothes?
I've lost a lot of weight in the past year and have gone from a size 14 to a size 8. After a few years of thinking it was just a metabolism/getting older thing, my doctor recently discovered my weight gain was caused by the beginning stages of hypothyroidism. (I ballooned 47 lbs. in a year and half.) After I started taking medication (and increasing my workouts,) the weight started dropping off. I was a size 4 before all the gain, so it's possible I might lose more. I have a lot of nice clothes that don't fit me anymore. Some pieces are really nice designer items and I'd like to keep them and protect my investment in them. Alterations are expensive, and buying new clothes isn't cheap, either. Is it worth it to learn how to sew and do my own alterations? Before I invest in a sewing machine and some classes, I want to know if this plan is doable. I know nothing about sewing, so is taking in clothes something that's complex and should be left to the professionals?
Long skirts and long questions
Do you know of a cultural group that fits this phenotype? [more inside]
Recommend a tailor in Richmond, VA for a student
I am a male in my 20's, and I get the same things done every time (shirt sides taken in, coat sleeves taken up, or pant legs hemmed up). Does anyone know of an affordable, quality tailor in Richmond? Every time I call asking for an estimate, they tell me to bring my clothes in to get an estimate. I would waste time and money driving all over town!
Atlanta Personal Shopper???
Looking for a personal shopper in Atlanta - 40 yrs old, straight, recently separated... need to start paying more attention to my wardrobe!
Basic apparel of the highest quality
Businesses that make basic apparel (underwear, t-shirts, socks, etc) of the highest quality and where you largely pay for the quality and not the marketing/branding - can you name a few?
Stockhausenify my Guy
I would like to buy a men's jacket like the one Stockhausen is wearing in this video. I'm not sure what the style is called. Any ideas on search terms and/or links to specific jackets for sale? The color is not particularly important -- it's all about the style.
Business Casual Illustrated
I need ideas for my business casual wardrobe. I don't need theory. I would like pictures of guys in cool business casual attire like this and this that I can get ideas from. I would also like links to sites that sell nice business casual clothes online. Help me look snazzy on my first day of work!
Help overweight tween girl find clothes that fit
Please help me find stylish, attractive clothes that fit well for a tween girl who is somewhat overweight and not particularly tall-especially jeans, other kinds of pants, bathing suits, and other such items where expected weight/height ratio really matters and can't be fudged in the way that dresses and skirts can. They should be relatively reasonably priced, but I'm willing to splurge if that's the only way this is fixable. [more inside]
Help keep me warm.
I am currently studying a dance-based course at uni, which requires a day-to-day wardrobe of stretchy, comfortable clothes (leotards, singlets, leggings etc.). Easy enough. But I need warm things to chuck on over the top of my dance gear in between classes and I'm sick of trackies and hoodies. Help me find some inspiration. [more inside]
Who wears short shorts?

NOT in the navy, just trying something new
What-to-wear-with-it-Filter: Navy blue trousers. I (mid-20s male with an obvious tendency towards beanplating) just decided to shift work wardrobe into a higher gear (business casual!), and bought two fantastic pairs of washed cotton chinos. One pair is navy blue. Never worn navy blue before. Help me pair it with my existing wardrobe without looking like an off-duty sailor or Connecticotian on vacation (sorry, Connecticotians).

How can I find a place to donate things to that won't resell them?
Where can I donate used clothing, books, etc, where they will actually be used and NOT resold? It is really morally important to me that it be actually used, not sold, where the money is then used in ways I can't control. I work in the nonprofit industry, and know only too well how general donations of money get used. But most people asking for clothing donations for poor or abused people, are only asking for them so they can resell them, not so that actual poor, homeless, or abused people will wear them or read them. Where can I find a place that will take all my donations and ensure that they are used or given to real people?

I've given my list. As I note support is not needed for the old interface unless they intentionally break it with the new interface. My real singular issue is with users on obsolete unsupported systems.
I am not adverse to improvements, if they really are improvements. My system can adapt to anything.

i checked out gmail, it is not an improvement in my no-tech opinion....
hotmail is still a better bet if i am forced to leave yahoo.
i agree, a product has to be better to attract users.....
with different options....different strokes for different folks.
just click on a lost of "options desired" will do it !
why force one to go through hoops to ferret out how to " opt OUT" !?
again...." modern" things are more simplified and streamlined...why are the mail servers getting more and more bulky and bobbly.....
do they not know what they wish to be ?
they are called " mail".
i wonder when there will be " I mail "....apple stuff is so ...streamlined.

Received: Wednesday, December 28, 2011, 1:02 AMWe most certainly can agree about change. But change ought to be related to delivering a better customer experience. If the customer experience isn't compelling enough to enough customers the product loses market share.
I render a few opinions about some recent changes. (1) the notion of 'forcing' someone to adapt had better be about ensuring the change is worth the trouble. Getting users off W98 in spite of no more support from M$ is because those using the really old stuff are still satisfied in spite of an inability to use most new software. Businesses are still using WinXP because it remains adequate for their needs and they haven't yet updated older hardware. Support for XP will soon end anyway and some users will not ever update. (2) change must allow easier, not more difficult, options and must work much better to entice the user.
I don't think Yahoo is in a position to demand users change. I could be wrong but it's at their risk if customers can't adapt. OTOH, there should be no expectation of support for an obsolete platform. If it works fine; if not customers must go elsewhere.
I see champions of change post here with applause and assistance to those who are adapting. I'm sure Yahoo benefits from the frequent bug reports and will work to improve the new platform. Those who don't want to change have every right to continue to work as they wish in spite of the marginal improved interface. If the older product meets their needs fine.
At some point, even I will tire of helping my older customers in continuing to use their way-obsolete systems. It's a competitive advantage for me but it does take more effort. I hope Yahoo will proceed along those same lines.

"The material covered in LSSU's engineering program provided me a solid foundation for graduate studies. The systematic approach and communication skills needed to tackle engineering projects were taught and then practiced over and over again. In particular I appreciate the many hours spent by the faculty to develop oral presentation skills in each student. As a graduate student now, these skills have proven to be highly beneficial and, to my surprise, obviously not taught to the same extent at many other universities."

The Michigan Honors Association (MHA) has members from two-year and four-year Michigan colleges and universities. The members exchange ideas for challenging and nurturing its students through effectively run programs which foster indivudual growth, achievement, and conscience. The well-attended yearly conference at Higgins Lake in Roscommon, Michigan provides a forum for student and faculty interaction in a relaxed, yet engaging environment.
The 2013 conference will be held Saturday to Sunday, October 5-6, 2013 at the scenic
MacMullan Conference Center in Roscommon, MI. Three meals are provided. Please see this flyer for the 2013 conference itinerary.
The conference center is comfortable and the mood is relaxed. Students enjoy learning about the programs at other Michigan institutions and getting away from their campuses, if even for a night or two. The Honors Program directors appreciate the insights of the students as well as the collegial advice of other directors.
Hands-on Training...

LSSU's dedicated three-story fire lab made all the difference to Brian Applegate.
"Our certification training classes offered real situations," Brian says. Students practice victim search techniques while controlling and extinguishing fires. Applegate says his favorite exercise was the live fire flashover simulation. "We saw how fires evolved as they burned," he says. "It's as close as you can get to the real thing."

As you can see, he was a slow starter, improving his pace by around 25% in the remaining games. Which puts him as a 30-34-64 in 2005-06 if Thornton isn't acquired, assuming the same improvement. If we're going to say that a decently skilled guy who benefited from being the go-to guy for a highly skilled playmaker is the winner of this thread, why not Milan Hejduk? He hit 50 with Forsberg one year, and 30 a couple others. When has he hit/come close to 30 without a highly skilled playmaker (Forsberg, Sakic, Stastny)? He hasn't. Good circumstances for a guy who can put the puck in the net. The difference is that Cheechoo was traded and lost his confidence, and it killed his career. He could have continued on as a perennial 30-goal guy. He had the skill, and probably still has the shot to park a few in the net if a team were to take the chance on him. Ottawa was a bad fit. San Jose was a great fit. He might not be a bad option for Chicago, actually, if he can recapture his magic. Play Kane as the 2C and take advantage of his playmaking abilities, utilize Cheechoo's shot. It would be kind of an Oates/Hull situation where Chechoo's job is basically to find the scoring spot and wait for Kane to get him the puck. Kane's shot and the fact that they'd be against 2nd units are threatening enough to offset the improved QoC compared to the early 90s when Hull could just stand around while Oates did all of the work.
Cheechoo lost his legs, he did not lose his confidence. I vividly remember Murray mentioning "Cheechoo's skating isn't where we thought it would be" after the Heatley trade. We Shark's fans thought, "no $#!+", because we saw the before and after effects of the double sports hernia from which he never recovered. He could be effective when he was a marginal NHL skater, but fell off a cliff when his skating degraded. I cannot tell you how disappointing that was, because he is a real quality human being - a guy you really root for in terms of making a comeback.

I like juggling balls and clubs, occasionally dabble in contact, am indifferent to rings, and find other props gimmicky. I'd like to work more on four and five ball siteswaps and learn to pass clubs, and my long term goal its to flash five clubs before 2014.
I don't live in San Diego, but I am in the area often enough that I'd like to know when people are getting together.

The Kitchen at Johnsonville Sausage
Original recipe yields 5 servings
Amount per serving ({{servings}} total)
Based on a 2,000 calorie diet
Wonderful and easy recipe. I served mine over farfalle and it was perfect for us. We love, love Johnsonville Italian sausage. I removed the casings and quick-fried pieces of the sausage along...
We just loved this. I have to admit that this is not the first time that I have made this, we have it regularly. Love this sausage and we usually eat it as a sandwich. Tomatoes on the bottom ...
This was delicious! My family ate the entire batch and asked for more! The Johnsonville sausages were absolutely delicious. Perfecto!

Nothing like trade rumours to heat up the days of winter. The latest that has the Toronto Raptors involved is once again the Rudy Gay trade. ESPN's Marc Stein reported last night that according to "sources with knowledge of the talks," the Raptors and Grizzlies "are engaged in active trade discussions" with regards to Toronto acquiring Rudy Gay. I do enjoy the creative ways that sports writers hide "what I read on Twitter". Stein also writes that the potential Raptors/Grizzlies deal could eventually include more teams, and that it is believed Jose Calderon, Kyle Lowry and Andrea Bargnani are all available, his main report is that Calderon and Ed Davis are the "cornerstones" of Toronto's offer for Gay and that the Raps also covet Memphis power forward Darrell Arthur. Not a fan of trading Ed Davis but it could be a good shake up for Toronto. A larger, multi-team blockbuster that sees the Raptors part ways with Calderon, Davis, Lowry and Bargnani – or even three of those four players – would hopefully see the Raptors acquire at least a couple of impact players or multiple young assets in the form of players and draft picks. Whoa, let's not go crazy here. Let's just focus on cleaning up the mess at point guard. Once again the Raptors have created drama about who is starting and who is coming off the bench. Enough already. As for Gay. I think he has hit his ceiling already and is just an older version of DeRozan. Could both survive on the floor together? The prospect of having Gay, DeRozan and Ross on the floor, makes me think of an alley oooooop show. So will they pull the trigger? Will Gay actually want to play here? I seem to think they stick with how the team is going now. They have a great core going. They just need to clear up the PG spot and decide on Bargnani. Anyways, we shall see. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fcuzoogle.com%2F2013%2F01%2F29%2Flike-it-or-not-a-gay-trade-could-happen-in-toronto%2F'; addthis_title = 'Like+it+or+not%2C+a+Gay+trade+could+happen+in+Toronto'; addthis_pub = '';

BlackBerry managed to confound analysts during the first quarter and recorded a profit, something that was hardly expected to happen. The company has now announced its second quarter financials, and while they are not as surprising as last period, the numbers should please BlackBerry's CEO John Chen.
Since BlackBerry fell into trouble a couple of years ago, it has often been widely mooted that the company would stop making smartphones. Despite sales declining to a standstill, the Canadian giant has kept releasing new handsets. CEO John Chen was brought in to steady the company, something he achieved, and he sat down with Maria Bartiromo for USA Today and explained why BlackBerry is still in the business of making smartphones.
The BlackBerry Leap is BlackBerry's latest smartphone, an affordable entry into the Canadian company?s portfolio. It was launched to bring the best of BlackBerry in a budget package, including BB 10.3.1 software it is a touchscreen alternative to the company's QWERTY packing smartphones. The Leap has been available in the US for some time, but it is now making its debut in India, going on sale in the country early next week.
It was widely predicted by analysts that BlackBerry would record a dire fourth quarter. However, just like during the third period, the Canadian company confounded those predictions and shocked Wall Street with a profit of $28 million for its Q4 ending February 28th.
BlackBerry raised the curtain on the BlackBerry Leap, the company's latest smartphone. The Canadian brand has now released a video that shows of the new handset, which comes with new features such as BlackBerry Assistant and BlackBerry Blend, the latter of which lets you view your content from phone to PC.
The Blackberry Passport was launched last year and was actually warmly met, with critics praising the device and consumers buying it. The problem Blackberry had was that only fans of the company's products wanted the handset, it was not attracting many newcomers to the brand. There was a danger that the solid early sales would dry up, and it seems that is the case, while it is a similar story with the Blackberry Classic.
Blackberry is rolling out a major software update in the form of Blackberry 10.3.1 (BB 10.3.1). The upgrade is arriving simultaneously around the globe and is available on a multitude of the company?s current smartphones. If you are rocking a the BlackBerry Passport, BlackBerry Z30, BlackBerry Z10, BlackBerry Z3, BlackBerry Q10 or the BlackBerry Q5, you can get the update. It is also rolling out to the Porsche Design P'9982 and the Porsche Design P'9983.
AT&T revealed in January that it would be carrying the Blackberry Passport and the newly launched Blackberry Classic, with the former getting an exclusive redesign for the second largest carrier in the US. Ma Bell has now announced when those devices will be available to purchase, with both available starting from this coming Friday, February 20.
Net Neutrality is a hot topic right now, but what about app neutrality? Blackberry CEO John Chen has compared the two and thinks that app neutrality would be better for the industry. He issued the plea in an open letter to US senate and President Barack Obama.
Blackberry's Passport has been out in the wild for some time, and it has actually been received positively with good sales figures and strong critical acclaim. However, Blackberry still wants its square screened handset to have more of an impact in the United States, and the newly launched AT&T variant may achieve that.

So Renato and Zenza thought it would be a great idea to try and hit up some of the more touristy spots in order to meet new women. Not too long after, they met Eloa. This beautiful brunette from France was on vacation, taking in the sights. So the boys got to work and got her to agree to come back to the spot for some drinks. No time was wasted as the sex talk began, which led to her feeling on some crotch. Needless to say, it was on from there. She brought out her huge natural boobs and round bubble butt ass. My mouth began to water. She quickly got on her knees and start to suck them both off at once. Then the crazy sex started. Tons of pussy fucking and anal action took place. It got really crazy because Eloa loved to get fucked in the ass. She loved double penetration even more. Wow. I can not stress to you how good this update is. One of the best this year. Enjoy.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Steph, I ignore the haters to their faces, but I think we should keep an eye on them...just because some day we're going to have to undo the damage they've done. Prevention would be better.
I don't find the Crime Blotter quite so frightening because those people have been caught and punished. I do find it appalling that many states don't give severe enough sentences to child rapists (IMO "child abuse" is too mild a euphemism for the lifelong pain they cause. If I made the laws, pedophiles would be locked up for life. I've never heard of a single one who was "cured.")
I do get a giggle out of church employees, especially the occasional nun, who embezzle large amounts of money from organizations that run the oldest scam in the world. I hope they had fun with the loot before they were caught. Either that, or used it to feed, clothe, and/or house the truly needy. The Cr*p-Lick Crutch has more than enough already.
Right sk8eycat when you read the hate mail from the xtians in the "Freethought Today" newsletter you see their hatred! It is just sick!
I also am appalled by the "Crime Blotter" section that lists all the priests and ministers who are charged and convicted of crimes.
Wow Patricia! I love your flowers! Beautiful! You must have a really lovely garden. I also love the cute dog (who is not a morning person) and the unicorn picture. Very cool! I'm trying to get caught up here.
sk8eycat I love that you said this:
"Any amount of hate is incomprehensible to me; I can't even hate the haters. For one thing it takes way too much energy. I would much rather just ignore them, but they hurt people...animals, and the environment." Just ignore the haters! Good advise!
Thank you Patricia for the great elephant painting video and for also adding that video to my Wildlife group - many thanks!
Patricia, BEAUTIFUL lilacs. One of the great flowers of summer. And yes....the scent of lilacs wafting through the air on a sunny summer day is incredibly pleasing.
Oh! Lilacs! They won't grow around here...too warm in winter, I think.
Once I drove a co-worker to a grower to buy lilacs for his birthday present. It was about an hour and a half from here, at a higher elevation. We filled up the entire back seat of the car; the drive home was incredible...and intoxicating.
Any amount of hate is incomprehensible to me; I can't even hate the haters. For one thing it takes way too much energy. I would much rather just ignore them, but they hurt people...animals, and the environment.
The strange thing is that our mother was born and raised in Oklahoma, and did grow up with a lot of Buybull Belt prejudices, but she was very careful not to hand them down to me or my sister. I know she sometimes used the "N-word," but never when she thought we could hear her. I only heard her say it by accident...the walls where we were staying one summer vacation were thin. If I had ever said it, I would have had a bar of Lifebuoy shoved in my mouth.
That amount of hate is incomprehensible to most, sk8ey, Partricia and all. I would have said, just over a year ago, that here in N. Europe we were free of the worst of that but then came Utøya and Oslo.
Steph, the FT "Crank Mail" scares the pee-turkey outta me sometimes. These people are not ashamed to use vicious, foul language like that, AND sign with their real names and home towns. Either that, or they're too stupid to realize that their e-mails can be traced.
Even so, it frightens me that they are so insecure about their faith that they have to bolster it by insulting strangers who don't share their fantasies.
I do wonder if any of them are the types who turn violent... I worry about that a LOT.

Hi. I'm Liz.
2014 was an intense year. I was pregnant with my 3rd kid. I left my work-from-home job the last month of pregnancy. I birthed to my kickass daughter. Took her on a job interview. Started a new job the same week a war started. Became Marketing Director at a startup. Began getting dressed in the morning to arrive at an office.
Managed to make it to 2015 juggling my huz, my 3 kids, new job, community, blog, everything else I make work and…. 52 Frames. Somehow, I never missed a week.
This was a learning week. Learned something new about my camera. I took a LOT of shots of a LOT of different subjects and I didn't want to go with another flower or fruit… Took way better shots than this but this is what I felt in the end. BUT I learned so much about the technique and am grateful.
Week 41: Macro
It might not look like it here, but I learned a lot this week.
