Perfection…and, yes, size down.This dress fit me like a glove. I'm not alone, either - check out the rave reviews posted by women of all ages, shapes and sizes! I am 5'4", 125 pounds, 34D, very short-waisted and athletic but curvy. I am normally a size 6, but finally settled on the size 4 regular after trying the 6P. It hits about 2-3 inches below my knees, which is both flattering and a pleasant alternative to my other dresses, which are either mini or full-length. The smaller size just feels better and I think the closer fit helps the lace detail pop a bit more. The nude colored slip/lining also alleviated any modesty issues I had with respect to the "peekaboo" detailing throughout the bodice. It might look like you're showing a lot of skin, but it certainly doesn't feel like it once you're wearing it. It's classy and it's sexy, which is usually more than you can ask of a dress at this price point. Bonus: my flesh-colored bra is virtually undetectable, which is key given my cup size and the fact that I have 2 young kids.
so gorgeous!Like almost everyone else here, I love this dress. I love the way it looks, I love how easy it is to wear. My one complaint is that you can't move your legs around much (the bottom is a bit stiff) so if you, like me, want to wear it to a wedding and dance, it won't be super responsive. The hooks and eyes at the front are a bit of a pain but nothing unmanageable. One of the most beautiful dresses I own.
I would get married in this dress.I went into my local Anthro store with my sister looking for something else, but saw this dress and had to "just try it on" in white. I'm normally a size 6, but there was only a 4 available in the store. I wasn't planning on purchasing, but once it was on, I didn't want to take it off. I happily paid full price, and my sister and I continued to gush about this dress the entire 20 minute drive home from the store. This dress is GORGEOUS. Even though you're completely covered, it's so figure-flattering and sexy. Definitely a head-turner. I've worn this twice and received many compliments from friends and strangers. It is expensive, but the quality is so good that I see it as an investment. It does run a bit big, so if you're in between sizes, size down. I'm sure a size 6 (if I had been patient enough to wait) would have been fine, but I liked the extra "va-va-voom" I got with the 4. I love the dress in white and am tempted to get it in another color as well! For reference, I am 5'5", 34C, and usually a size 6.

Exquisite.I had high expectations prior to receiving this gorgeous dress & they were far exceeded. You can visually see the design on the website, but what you don't see is that in addition to the button closures, there's a substantive hook & eye between each button. & is double lined. I mean what craftsmanship! And so elegant! & distinctive! I'd recommend wearing this dress anytime except summer. Sizing: I'm 5/2, 112 lbs with a slim/ahtletic build, 32C. Since I saw some reviews noting it runs large, I got the OOP (normally I'd get the 0P). It fit like a glove & hugged me in all of the right places. The petite version was too high-waisted on me, so I'm exchanging for the regular 00. This happens to me a lot. So if you're a short gal like me, but find it's better to get a regular & have things hemmed, you might opt for the regular size. But the 00 was perfect; I'll just have to get it hemmed, but that's the story of my 5'2 life! Highly recommend!
Just Press the 'Submit Order' ButtonOk, so obviously it's hard not to notice the monthly car-payment-like price of this dress, however, that being said... It. Is. Worth. Every. Penny. At least when that repo-man comes, you will look GOOD. Seriously. I'm 30 years old, 5'6", 150 pounds and I purchased the size 8. Never before in my 30 years on this Earth have I owned an article of clothing that fit this well. It's absolutely perfect! The dress itself is clearly stunning. Perfect black dress. The buttons are darling and let you choose your level or riske. The skirt is the perfect sexy, modern length. I feel like I'm over-using the word 'perfect' here, but no other word in the English language would apply quite as well. If you're thinking about purchasing this dress, do it. Don't think about it any longer. It's inconceivable that you could possibly, in any way, regret that decision. Start babysitting. Own that lemonade stand. Whatever you do... Buy this dress. It's... Perfect.
So impressedI was so pleasently impressed with this dress. It fits in all the right places perfectly, looks tailored. Usually a size 6 I sized down to a 4, glad I did. This dress can be accessorized and worn for multiple occasions. Classic elegance.

Lovely, but cumbersome to washThis dress is flattering, comfy, and it looked great on me. My body type is similar to the model's in the photograph, and I don't mind that the skirt is prone to wrinkling -- I don't think it's supposed to be perfectly flat. Wash this with CAUTION. The label says to dry clean it, but honestly Anthro says to dry clean everything and 90% of the time it's not really necessary. I'm not made of money and these fabrics usually stand up to machine washing, so I machine washed it cold and line-dried it. The fabric looked perfect after this, BUT the top 'crosswrapped' part was completely untwisted, to the point that I could not figure out how to wrap it back up. I took it back to Anthro and they ended up exchanging it since no one on staff could figure out how to rewrap it correctly. So, if you want to machine wash, use safety pins to hold the top part together. Otherwise enjoy this great dress!
My new favorite dress!I stalked this dress for months deciding whether or not I really needed it. Obviously I eventually opted to buy, and my only regret was not getting it in both colors before it sold out online. Such a beaut and soooo comfortable! Like other reviewers said it can be dressed up and down to your liking. It will be in my closet until it falls apart. Another wonderful anthro purchase couldn't be happier.
Summery Go ToSuch a perfect summer dress! I bought the neutral which was a surprise because with my olive skin tone I'm more drawn to the navy and peaches but I just fell in love with the neutral! I love the way the top of the dress hugs you. The material feels great against your skin and the fit is very flattering giving you a waist but having enough stretch not to cut in any weird places. The skirt is more of a linen-y and will wrinkle but it doesn't bother me because that is the look. Also it has a shimmery fabric will looks gorgeous in the sun. Planning on wearing it with a bright orange chunky beaded necklace and cream wedges. So excited!

perfect, except pocket lumpsfabulous dress; hangs well, flattering to a lumpy/curvy figure, except it has pockets which make it slightly lumpy in the wrong place. They are easy to sew shut and the pocket fabric cut off. Unusual coloring true to photo. Silk fabric nice, well made. there are slits down the sleeve that add interest but hide fat arms. A little hard to take off. It should have had a zipper.
Lovely colorsI'm presently overweight and have trouble finding anything to look good (165#, 5'7''), I bought this dress in a size large, fits great and conceals my flaws. The medium was to tight and also shorter than I would like. I suppose I'm a size 12...just in denial. It falls an inch or so above the knee in size large. I like that my chubby arms are covered, and still the open side gives it a little something extra. Has a slip. The colors are true-except I can't really see the lovely medium turquoise at the top on my computer. Also can be hand washed. Can be dressed up or down. If you can grab it on a sale even better.
Great all purpose summer dressThis is a great little dress to wear with cute little flat sandals for a more casual look or a pair of heels for work. The print is lovely and brighter than pictured. The hem hits right above my knee and the fit is a little boxy so I purchased one size down (I typically wear a S or 4). I love that is made with a natural fiber fabric. Definitely worth the price. Would definitely recommend.

I love this dress, but I can't zip it!I also REALLY wanted to keep this dress. The material has no stretch, so you're going to want it slightly loose in order to sit down and move around in it. Measurements are 32-24.5-32.5. 5'2". 32c. I couldn't come close to zipping the XXSP, yet there was extra room in the bust. It fit everywhere else. I often size down in sheath dresses to fit my narrow hips better, but I need some stretch to the fabric in the top to accommodate my broad athletic shoulders. This dress has no stretch. Couldn't even close to get the side zip up under my left arm. My suggestion when ordering this dress, if all of your measurements don't fit neatly into one size, is to order the size that matches your largest measurement. I am a 0p bust, 00-0p waist, and 00p hips, which translates to an XSP on top and XXSP on the bottom. I should have sized up to an XSP. It's sold out (boo!) but I'm betting on a lot of returns/ size exchanges on this dress and hope I'll be able to snag the XSP.
Wonderful summer dress!I just wanted to chime in, because I thought this dress was adorable online, but was afraid of fit after reading reviews. Ordered anyway and am so glad I did. Really so pretty and flattering. Very cute summer date dress. I'm typically a 0 and the XS fit perfectly. No give in fabric, but I think it stretched out a tiny bit after a day of wear, and, yes, I was able to sit down comfortably and eat dinner...just wouldn't recommend if you're planning on hitting a big buffet! This dress DOES need to be a little snug to look good.
Love!This is a chic little dress. Fits perfectly and super flattering. It's very pink. Not red AT ALL. But even though it reminds me of Pepto, I love it and can't wait to wear it. I wish it came in other colors too - I would buy it in multiples!

Pleasantly surprisedLove this dress - comfy, can be dressed up or down, and as someone who always deals with bust issues I was surprised this cut worked without making me look like I was pregnant. it was actually quite flattering. my only thing is that I don't know how they are saying this is a GREY motif... it's brown!!!! straight up brown. which is fine, but it looks a little tribal so make sure that's your thing
My New Favorite Dress!This is going to be my go-to summer dress, especially for travel. It is lightweight and flowy, yet flattering. Not see-through, and the straps are adjustable. I am usually a small/2 or 4 at Anthro, and I took the XS, so I'd say it runs a tad big. I am small in the bust, however. 5'7", 32D. Highly recommend. I got the "grey motif", which is more of a brown motif.
I'll keep it.I received this dress, but I wonder if I had an altered version? There are no care notes and the straps are crossed in the back, unlike the pictures. I'll do the work of fixing the straps (I think they look better uncrossed), but I'm keeping it because the fabric is nice and cool for summer and the pattern and length are great!

Pretty summer maxi!I've been browsing for a good maxi dress this summer as I am 21 weeks pregnant, but not really big enough for maternity dresses just yet. I also wanted something I could wear post pregnancy. This dress is stunning in person! I must have browsed by this on the website 10 or so times and never noticed it. But once I saw it in the store I knew I had to have it! As others have stated, you are mainly only fitting the top as the bottom flares out. It hits right around the ankles which is perfect for wedges, sandals or flats. I love that it isn't too long so it won't drag the ground in flats. I wore this yesterday and got so many compliments! It is super comfortable and doesn't make me look large while pregnant. Very pleased with this dress.
Perfect Summer MaxiOrdered this on a whim, mostly because it was reasonably priced and machine-washable. It's hard to tell in the image if it is going to be heavy or a thin jersey, and thankfully it falls somewhere in between. The top portion is a double-layered jersey, while the skirt portion is one layer of the same fabric (medium-weight). I'd say the colors are pretty acurrate in the image - navy and cream, and I can wear my criss-cross backed bra with this easily. Totally comfortable and very flattering. I'm more of a straight-up-and-down figure (sadly, minimal curves), and find this to actually give me a little shape where I need it. Worth the full price!
This dress is amazingly flattering and beautiful to wear. It's a nice medium weight knit that feels substantial enough to not be clingy or see through and floats around your legs. Very comfortable and no tummy accentuation that you sometimes get with maxi dresses. :) It's really long. I'm 5'6 1/2" and wearing a 4 inch wedge and it's still close to dusting the ground as I walk. Major con though -- I wore it with a cross-body bag into work today and the knit across my chest is already pilling from just that one 20 minute commute. I've never had a knit top or dress do this before - at least not so quickly! It's noticeably worn after one morning!

Fascinating comparison of popular acceptance of non-traditional (in some jurisdictions, they were called "Deviant") marraiges.
Note how the slopes of the lines showing legality and popular acceptance have shifted. Not just change, but the rate of change has accelerated.
This suggests to me a more progressive attitude on Social Issues. Add Marijuana legalization to the mix and the United States — at least socially — is looking more like certain European countries . . .

PreSeed and other aids
posted at 8/17/2009 3:36 PM EDTIt's me again...now that I have discovered this group, I LOVE it and I keep thinking of questions!! Has anyone been able to find preseed in the Boston area? I can't find it in stores - I know I can buy it online but, hey times are tough and I would love to save on shipping!! Also, has anyone tried at home insemination? Where can you buy the tools for that? And...one more thing - how about FertileAid for Men...do you think it is a gimmick? I know, I must sound like I am preparing for the ultimate month here, which...I guess I am!! hahahaha - I just got my period so I am now on the upside of the roller coaster where I am feeling very positive and ready to try new things (whereas a negative pregnancy test last week had me in tears in bed!) I am sure y'all might know what I am talking about
Re: PreSeed and other aids
posted at 8/17/2009 4:27 PM EDTI was able to purchase a Preseed-like product at CVS called "Pre Conceive Plus". It's another "conception-friendly" lube that has the right pH, etc. I have to say that we got pregnant the month we didn't use it--but I don't think that has anything to do with the product. More likely due to the proper alignment of many factors...
Sorry I can't answer your other questions. Good luck.
Re: PreSeed and other aids
posted at 8/17/2009 4:45 PM EDTIf you go to the Preseed website, I think they let you do a pharmacy search. I seem to recall that the CVS in Brookline [Coolidge Corner] used to carry it. I ordered it online but we never got around to using it. AF arrived today and I am supposed to do 2 months of BCP after she departs to get my cycle back on track [longish story] so I doubt we'll be using it for a bit. I've heard it works great though.
ETA: I was bored so I did the search for you. lol. Brookline isn't on the list anymore.

I have not read the last edition of "Our Bodies, Ourselves", but the early editions gave not only great info on the female body, throughout life, but on "the turkey baster method." What you need to get, including a type of soft plastic tube with a bulb , larger than an eye dropper, smaller than a turkey baster, to do the deed. A good book, well researched, something you do not always know about websites. Widely available used, not full of medical jargon.

Report: Clippers, Nets talk Paul Pierce sign-and-trade
Jul 3, 2014, 9:45 AM EDT
Right now these talks are preliminary, because if LeBron James decides to leave Miami the Clippers want in that discussion with all their available weapons (they would have to do a sign-and-trade). Nobody around the league thinks LeBron bolting South Beach is likely, but such is the power and draw of LeBron that even a hint he could come has slowed the free agent market waiting for that domino to fall.
However, the Clippers and Nets have had preliminary talks about a sign-and-trade that would re-unite Paul Pierce and his former coach Doc Rivers, reports Ramona Shelburne and Ohm Youngmisuk at ESPN.
And while the Clippers could simply sign Pierce as a free agent using their midlevel exception at $5.3 million, they are interested in pursuing sign-and-trade scenarios that would allow Brooklyn to get something in return for the 10-time All-Star and because the Clippers already have so many small forwards….
The Clippers likely would include some combination of Jared Dudley, Matt Barnes and last year's first-round pick, Reggie Bullock, according to sources.
Jamal Crawford also could be in that mix.
Pierce was firmly in the Jason Kidd camp in Brooklyn and with Kidd now actually having to develop players in Milwaukee it is unclear how Pierce — or Kevin Garnett — feel about the old-school Lionel Hollins coming in as coach. He can leave as a free agent, but he can get more money from the Clippers via a sign-and-trade. Plus the Nets would get something back in return.
Improving at the three and adding depth to the front line are two of the Clippers big off-season priorities (as well as re-signing Darren Collison or landing another quality backup point guard).
The Clippers brought in Jared Dudley play the three last year but the previously solid jack-of-all-trades player struggled to fit in Rivers' system and his efficiency (and needed three point shooting) fell off. The Clippers are on the hunt for a replacement and Rivers the GM likes to go to players that either played well for him before or played well against him in the past. Pierce certainly fits that mold, and even at age 37 the crafty veteran small forward can get you some buckets (and would find it easier in Los Angles where Chris Paul and Blake Griffin would draw the attention of defenses).
- saint1997 - Jul 3, 2014 at 9:51 AM
Not sure if it's worth giving up Crawford for
Pierce, he's just such an important part of that team
- 88heatnation - Jul 3, 2014 at 9:59 AM
Pierce provides more leadership, much better defense, higher basketball IQ, better shot selections, and most importantly he's clutch in late game situations.
- nykfanwakemeupin2015 - Jul 3, 2014 at 12:20 PM
5 years ago maybe def not now. He is giving up high light reels (ie shumpert) on defense bc of age

Don't wanna see KG retire if this goes down.
- ebecks34 - Jul 3, 2014 at 11:51 AM
Well, KG in fact retired last year, but forgot to tell anybody.
- bostonian13 - Jul 3, 2014 at 10:07 AM
As much as I love Pierce, he's not worth giving up Crawford. He's up there in age, slower, and is not as clutch as he once was. Crawford is a bit younger, faster, and can hit clutch shots. Lets not forget how well he thrives as the 6th man, we don't know how Pierce will do in that role.
- casualcommenter - Jul 3, 2014 at 11:35 AM
Pierce had a nice revival playing as an undersized power forward for the Nets once they embraced playing small.
He's not fast enough to take on small forwards off the dribble any more, but he can still get past power-forwards, and he's able to use his strength and smarts to defend bigger power forwards in the post.
I think he'd be a really good get for the Clippers as a backup for Griffin who could always spend some time at small forward. However, I agree that losing Crawford, who is almost 3 years younger than Pierce, is a high price.
- wiltchamberlainthethird - Jul 3, 2014 at 12:50 PM
LOL that pic is gold. Pierce giving JKidd the cold shoulder like 'I'm tired of listening to yo a**, Doc draw a real play up'
- j0esixpack - Jul 3, 2014 at 12:59 PM
There's no reason why the Clippers shouldn't be in "win now" mode
The sign and trade gives them more cap flexibility. and while they'd need to clear out a lot more cap space, it'd be great to see Pierce and Garnett reunited with Doc (as the NBA should have allowed in the first place)
Doc's smart enough to know that regardless of what seed he is in the playoffs, if he can limit the minutes for guys like Pierce (or Garnett!) all that matters is that they are healthy and rested come playoff time. If that could happen, along with the other front line players the Clippers have, watch out!
Meanwhile, the Nets are in "lose now" mode – too bad they don't have any draft picks for the next half a decade.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Patriots' pass defense has been very consistent.
It's one of the worst in the NFL for the third straight year.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Patriots' pass defense has been very consistent.
It's one of the worst in the NFL for the third straight year.
But now the secondary is striving to develop a different kind of consistency — a better kind. And, with the shuffling of starters apparently at its conclusion, it appears that the Patriots are headed that way.
"The more you play, the more you mesh," cornerback Aqib Talib said Tuesday. "The more time you get together, it definitely helps."
Talib is the newest, and possibly final, piece of a puzzle that finally seems to be fitting well after 10 games in which New England has allowed the third most yards passing in the NFL. That's an improvement over last season, when the Patriots gave up the second most. And in 2010, they permitted the third most.
Not that big a deal, safety Steve Gregory said.
It didn't keep the Patriots from reaching the Super Bowl last season, losing 21-17 to the New York Giants on a last-minute touchdown. And it hasn't stopped them this season from leading the AFC East by three games with a 7-3 record heading into Thursday night's visit to the New York Jets.
"Figures lie," Gregory said after the Patriots allowed 329 yards passing but routed the Indianapolis Colts 59-24 on Sunday.
"We don't pay attention to too many stats. We just focus in on playing good, hard-nosed football and winning football games. At the end of the day, when that clock strikes zero, if we're on the winning edge, we're happy."
Against the Colts, they capitalized on two overthrown passes by Andrew Luck and returned both for touchdowns — 87 yards by rookie Alonzo Dennard and 59 yards by Talib.
"You talk about going out and trying to stop an offense and getting turnovers and all those good things," Devin McCourty said, "but when you score points, that really lifts your team up."
For the first four games, McCourty and Kyle Arrington started at cornerback with Gregory and Patrick Chung at safety. Rookie second-round pick Tavon Wilson started for the injured Gregory the next two games. Then, with Chung sidelined for the seventh game, McCourty moved to safety and Dennard started at cornerback.
Gregory returned for the ninth game when the Patriots had their fourth different starting secondary of the season. Then coach Bill Belichick acquired Talib from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he made his Patriots debut last Sunday after completing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
"As if they need another great player," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "With Belichick, he does a lot of different things on defense to take advantage of players' talents. It's going to be really interesting to see what he does with Talib because, if his first game is any indication, that's not bad. You know, get an interception for a touchdown. I really thought (Belichick) should have waited until after we played to play this young man, though."

1998 Mercury MystiqueVisitor, Colorado Springs, CO, May 04, 2014 11:57I LOVE MY MYSTIQUE! Bought my car for $2,500, 2 years ago. It only had 98,000 miles on it. I've replaced the timing belt, had front and rear brakes done, put on a couple new tires, and put a new battery in her. I'm calling to get the new instructions for adjusting headlights. I do have problems with the blinkers and brake lights. I have the GS model and I just love the get up and go power it has. I've owned about 15 used cars and this one is the BEST so far.
1998 Mercury MystiqueVisitor, Salt Lake City, UT, October 06, 2013 21:42mechanic replaced timing belt and it still runs poorly replaced plugs wires air filter .
1998 Mercury MystiqueVisitor, Rensselaer, NY, July 18, 2013 09:45This was literally, the "little old ladies" used car when we purchased it. It was seemingly a good deal at 2900.00 for a 51000 mile vehicle. Several months later, the transmission blew up. The front brakes - rotors, pads, calipers, hoses were all replaced. We've poured so much money into this massive POS that we could have instead just bought a new vehicle. It is now a 7500.00 dollar hunk of metal worth 800.00. In the warm weather, you can't put gas into it. The roll over safety check valve has swelled and unless it's cold, or early morning in the summer, filling the tank takes close to 15-20 minutes. We literally hate this car. Now, the replacement transmission has also blown up. Guess what? you've got to TAKE OFF THE FRAME to get the transmission out. Our lives are filled with hate for this horrible, horrible car. I'm practically ready to set it on fire and watch it burn.
1998 Mercury MystiqueVisitor, Apple Valley, CA, May 13, 2013 11:14At almost 300K miles, and considerable labor and parts over the last two years, it seems this car is trying to stay on the road...but my local repair shop(s) isn't(aren't) giving me much help. Three days before the last heater hose blew up (literally), I had taken my car to the shop to investigate anti-freeze leaks, only to be told that it needed a head gasket and they would be unwilling to do it! Consequently, I still had to do the hose job myself three days later, which was my ORIGINAL complaint! This car has been great until the last two years or so, but I guess it's to be expected with a 15-yr-old car! I've gotten about 10 good years from it!

1998 Mercury MystiqueVisitor, Denville, NJ, November 20, 2011 17:45I bought this car 4 years ago and put over $5,000 in repairs. 1 month ago had another repair two times egr valves replaced, and the check engine light is still on. I hate this car, and would not recommend it to anyone. Another lemon I got stuck with. Now I will not pass inspection. The mechanics that worked on it put the car on the computor and they cant figure out what it is. any ideas someone

1998 Mercury Mystiquejljohnson, Dallas, TX, October 17, 2009 20:001998 Mercury Mystique DO NOT BUY!!! Fuse Box ... NO GOOD! I had it rewired, replaced and worked on numerous times and my car still cuts off on me while driving from the starter relay connection in the fuse box, on the freeway! My brake rotars has grooves in it as if someone dragged their fingers through sand. i had the a/c condensor replaced and the car itself poked a whole in it and released all the new freon in it. My fuel pump went out and i just had it replaced, and the steering is bad, never has been in an accident.Enthusiast

1998 Mercury Mystiquelawrenceg, Beaverton, OR, December 08, 2008 13:39My parents own one and they have it in the shop every month. I have a Mini Cooper and a Honda and nowhere near the problems this has. Heck, just look at the list of recalls and service bulletins! I'm not even going to list all the problems, just avoid one of these!Master

The conflict over the Coltrane house is a common one that preservationists around the country face — the conflict between the interest of the community and an individual's property rights, Tyler said.
"People are very concerned about property rights," he said. "We have a very strong feeling in this country that we don't want anybody interfering with what we can do with our property."
The federal government's reluctance to get involved in that issue is why when Congress finally passed national preservation legislation in 1976, the law provided for national recognition of sites of historic significance, but left all power to preserve those sites to state and local governments.
Congress's reluctance to get involved in preservation goes back to the very first effort to save a U.S. historic site, when a group of women turned to the federal government in 1856 for help preserving George Washington's home in Virginia, Mount Vernon.
"The government basically said, 'We don't do that,'" Tyler said.
Only through the efforts of Ann Pamela Cunningham and the Mount Vernon Ladies Association was the historic home saved, Tyler said.
Since 1976, Tyler and many preservationists agree, the country has done an increasingly good job of recognizing the importance of saving buildings and sites that can help people understand the past. The Bicentennial celebration may have helped Americans realize that they had a history and that it should be preserved.
The pressures of development, though, have grown stronger, too, particularly in the West, Southwest and Sun Belt, where populations are growing rapidly and history may be too close to the present to be seen as significant.
"In the West, history got a bit of a jump-start on us," said David Bogan, cultural education specialist at the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office. "We in the West are just beginning to realize that things need to be preserved and protected."
But communities in less densely populated areas have an advantage in that they often can still preserve the "cultural landscape" by saving open space around a site, Bogan said. It is something that cities and towns have tried to accomplish by declaring areas "historic districts."
"When you lose the context, you lose the interpretation of what the sites really were," said Lynn Cowan of the Glencoe Mill office of Preservation North Carolina.
The context of the Coltrane house is what his widow is hoping can be preserved, because for her the context of the music he created while he lived there was as important as the notes he played.
"From the time of A Love Supreme, everything had a spiritual connotation for him, and I said, 'This man's goal is higher now, higher than the music.' Now it was about who we are and where we came from," she said. "Preserving the house could serve some purpose. I could see it — people looking at photographs, seeing where he played, where he sat outside and meditated. Maybe they could feel some of that energy."

Today, I jokingly told my crush that I went on a date. he asked who was it and said congratulation. I felt like he is interested in me but why did he say this? is it possible that he try to hide his feeling?
+ maybe he didn't know how to respond and realized he might lose you
Toying with a guy like that, congrats on building a healthy relationship.-He accepted the friend zone.-He was being nice.-He genuinely doesn't give a f***.Tell him the truth or nothing is going to ever happen, sad truth.
he probably said congrats to be nice, while thinking ah man, that lucky bastard.
I would say yeah maybe he has feelings or he is just your friend. Trouble is something like what you said might imply to a guy you just want to be friends with him.
Dumb move on your part. Sounds like a sarcastic gratz and if he liked you he probably thinks your taken or too much trouble
he s hiding ...yes...playing it cool , no one would want to look like ...a jealous fish
He probaby likes you but is trying to play it cool and not look like his feelings are hurt.
I'm sensing that you were a little disappointed with his reaction? I would've said the same as him. He knows what you want him to say, he just doesn't want to give you the satisfaction of him being jealous.
Regardless of if he LIKES you or not, he's your friend and wants his friend to be happy...even if it means you not being with him, vice versa

Close to fifty San Diego apartment owners and investors turned out Thursday night for the 2nd Annual Apartment Owner Workshop hosted by Apartment Realty Group (ARG). The event was held at the historical Cosmopolitan Hotel in Old Town Park, San Diego.
The workshop consisted of a town hall style presentation from local industry experts. Bill Exeter – Chief Executive Officer of Exeter 1031 Exchange Services – answered a variety of audience questions on how to benefit from 1031 tax deferred exchanges in today's apartment market. Kathy Belville – Partner at the law firm Kimball, Tirey & St. John – answered landlord /tenant legal questions covering topics like new Fair Housing Laws and the rules around the handling of service animals in apartments. Doug Taber, senior associate with Apartment Realty Group was the moderator for the evening. "Our goal tonight with these fantastic speakers was to provide answers to local apartment owners about relevant topics, but also make it a fun time for them as well. I think we did that tonight. "
The apartment owner attendees participated in vendor sponsored giveaways and were treated to a hosted happy-hour after the main presentation. Event sponsors included the San Diego County Apartment Association, Luther Burbank Savings, and Ives Insurance Services. There was no charge for the apartment owners to attend. "We don't charge attendees because we use these workshops as just another way we try to add value to local apartment owners," said James Carter, broker and senior managing director of Apartment Realty Group, "We've had such a positive response this year that we're considering offering these twice a year."

Voltage regulator problems?
View Single Post
Having Fun
Joined: Oct 2009
Location: Nairobi, Kenya
Oddometer: 122
I had the EXACT same problem last year with my 2004 950s and it was the Voltage Regulator. Headlight would turn off when I accelerated, then once after a short ride around town an insane amount of heat was emanating from the engine area, despite the thermostat marking 4 bars only, there was the high pitched alarm (overheating sensor alarm, I think), and my bike smelled mildly of burning potato salad.
Could not figure it out. Things eventually went back to normal.
Then I set off for a 4.5 week tour with my girlfriend to Botswana and back (from Arusha, Tanzania, where I live) and on day 1 the bike backfired and shut off from fuel starvation on the road. Same symptoms - whine, smell, but this time it didn't start back up.
Devastated, I put it on a truck, took it back and we realized it was the voltage regulator. The battery was cooked but miraculously, the rest of the electronics were not fried. The fuel pump had shut down because of the voltage overload so that is why the bike died on the road. We fitted on a voltage regulator and battery from a Yamaha 660R (same bolt pattern), took a spare dry cell battery and cables in case we needed to boost the little Yamaha battery in the mornings, and set off.
9,000 kilometers, 5 weeks, and 7 countries later, we returned to Arusha on that same Yamaha voltage regulator and battery. Never had to boost it with the dry cell.
Have an OEM voltage regulator on the way and have the right battery in there now. We'll see how they work!

30 year old man | Jefferson Hills, PA, USA | Seeking women 20-26 within 15 miles of Pleasant Hills, PA
Looking for something new...
I've never used the internet before to find someone but a friend reccomended this site to me so I figured I would give it a try. My perfect match would be someone that is pretty, fun to hang out with, and can be honest with me. I'm pretty laid back but really like to get to know someone before I'm comfortable with them. Being able to relate with someone is really impotant to me. I'm starting to get to the point in my life where all of my friends that used to be single, now all have significant others or are thinking about getting married soon. While I'm not really sure who I'll find on here, or how serious it will end up being, having someone around to go on dates with would be great.

I love watching the steelers and penn state football. I really love watching family guy and going to the movies but I'm really not a huge tv watcher. I'd rather be outside being active than sitting around the house.
After working the whole week I really enjoy hanging out with friends on the weekends goin to a local bar having a beer. I used to be really into working out but now I just do it to stay in shape. I'm always down for trying new things.
Really not much of a book reader, but I do read a lot of fitness and auto magazines.

OAKLAND, CA - JUNE 23: Tim Lincecum #55 of the San Francisco Giants pitches against the Oakland Athletics during a Major League Baseball game on June 23, 2009 at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, California. (Photo by Jed Jacobsohn/Getty Images)

'Lakeview Terrace' actor's roles range from bad guys to good, likable to not
Samuel L. Jackson has played his share of good and bad cops as well as likable and unlikable crooks.
"If you do enough movies, you're going to play cops a lot, and you're going to play bad guys," said the actor, 59.
Over the years, Jackson has prepared for his roles by training with various law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles Police Department's elite SWAT team, the Secret Service, FBI, CIA and various branches of the military.
"It's been kind of cool being able to do all that stuff and fire live weapons and see if you're able to use them," he said, chuckling.
Jackson has no preference for character types; he's simply eager to tackle roles that intrigue and challenge him.
"I just look at the character and, if I like him, I start figuring out ways to make his point of view mine," he said.
Jackson counts 113 feature films to his credit, and he's not planning on quitting — or slowing down — soon.
Earlier this year, he starred in the sci-fi thriller "Jumper" and had a cameo as superhero Nick Fury in the summer hit "Iron Man." (He may reprise Fury in the sequel.)
He also has three more films coming out this year, including the comedy "Soul Men," co-starring the late Bernie Mac, and "The Spirit," a comic book adaptation from noted comic book writer Frank Miller in his directorial debut.
Angry watchdog
In the Neil LaBute-directed thriller "Lakeview Terrace," which opens Friday, Jackson plays an LAPD officer with a chip on his shoulder. Abel Turner's beef isn't with a criminal foe or a commanding officer but with his newly arrived next-door neighbors. Turner is a widower trying to raise two children and instill in them his high moral standards. They live on a quiet suburban cul-de-sac, and Turner is the unofficial neighborhood watchdog. He's also a traditionalist with conservative values.
The arrival of Chris (Patrick Wilson) and Lisa Mattson (Kerry Washington) next door gets his blood boiling. From the get-go, he doesn't like them or their lifestyle. (They like to canoodle in the nude in their backyard swimming pool.) In response, Turner launches a series of pranks and insults designed to convince the young couple to move out.
His anger only increases when he is placed on extended leave from work for using inappropriate force, which gives him more time to focus his venom on his neighbors. As he crosses the line from annoying neighbor to dangerous adversary, the couple try to fight back. It's only a matter of time before the resentment escalates into a potentially deadly standoff.
Not a bad guy'
Although audiences may regard Turner as the "bad guy," Jackson suggests that the label is inaccurate.
"Abel Turner has a definite point of view that he's not afraid to express," he said. "He has a moral compass. It just kind of goes another way."
Jackson relishes the fact that the line between who's good and who's bad is blurred.
Jackson worked closely with LaBute to round out the character, making him more three-dimensional.
"In the early versions of the script, he was just an out-and-out bully," the actor recalled.
LaBute, best known for dramas that reveal the ugly side of human nature ("In the Company of Men," "Your Friends and Neighbors"), points out that race is just one facet of the escalating battle between Turner and his neighbors.
"I guarantee there are a couple of people watching the movie who will go, OK, I get that; I'm with him,'" Jackson said with a wry smile. "I wanted audiences to actually have a chance to make a choice between, do you want to be on this guy's side or do you want to be on that guy's side?"
Familiar territory
The role of the angry suburbanite is hardly a new one for Jackson, who played a similar firebrand in 2002's "Changing Lanes." Roger Michell, another playwright, helmed that drama. It also pitted his character against a white adversary, but their dispute went beyond race.
In both projects, Jackson saw an opportunity to explore the mind-sets of two extremely territorial individuals. He credits the filmmakers for looking beyond skin color to uncover the reasons underlying their anger.
"It's great to have people who are more concerned about character and story than guys who are sitting there looking at a monitor, worrying about the composition of the shot," he said.
Always one to speak his mind, Jackson questions the movie's PG-13 rating. With its adult orientation, he thinks that the studio could have gone all-out and made an R-rated thriller.
"What's the point?" he asked about efforts to tone it down.
Diverse resume
Born Samuel Leroy Jackson in Washington, D.C., he wasn't an overnight sensation. He paid his dues in theater and film, then worked his way up from supporting roles as bad guys and drug addicts before turning leading man.
Never sticking with a specific type, this chameleon-like actor purposely seeks out different roles in various film genres. His diverse credits include his Oscar-nominated performance as a philosophical hit man in "Pulp Fiction," his crack addict in "Jungle Fever," the title role in "Shaft" (the 2000 remake) and Jedi council leader Mace Windu in the "Star Wars" series.
His other credits include "Snakes on a Plane," "Coach Carter," "Caveman's Valentine," "Jackie Brown," "The Negotiator" and "Die Hard with a Vengeance." He also provided a character voice in the 2004 animated feature "The Incredibles."
He's been married to actress LaTanya Richardson for 28 years, and the couple have a grown daughter, Zoe.
On the small screen, Jackson serves as executive producer for Spike TV's animated series "Afro Samurai." He recently finished voicing the title character for the second season and is reviewing a draft of a live-action "Afro Samurai" script.
"Hopefully, we'll get that up and running soon," he said.

This article relates selected multidirectional patterns of change—"force fields"—in the business environment to innovation strategy within the context of Zen philosophical principles. Three force fields are selected for brief evaluation: 1) domestic vs. global markets, 2) economic growth vs. environmental quality, and 3) entrepreneurs vs. customer base. Given the omnipresence of force fields in the 21st century, businesses should maintain flexible structures for innovating both incrementally and radically. They also need to engage in collaboration at all institutional levels. Collaboration can facilitate the Zen objective of integrating conflicting ideas, a key feature of innovation over the long run.

SMEs have sustainability on their radar. Their main goal is economic sustainability. To achieve this goal, they can take ecological and social sustainability as an opportunity for innovation instead of just considering it as a mere cost driver. Thus innovation and sustainability become the two sides of the coin called profitable growth.

The majority of managers who say that their company's sustainability activities have added to profits also say that sustainability has led to business model change. What connects corporate sustainability with business profits? According to our 2012 global executive survey on sustainability, an important factor is business model innovation. Managers who say that their company's sustainability activities have added to the company's profits are more than twice as likely to say that sustainability has caused their organization to change their business model than not.

With global warming implicated in current droughts, storms, impending extinctions, sea level rise, and other harbingers of climate change, some experts are looking past the debate for placing the blame on humanity and questioning whether technological solutions could improve or injure humanity and the ecosystem which protects us. With geoengineering, the manipulation of the planet's environment on a large scale, scientists are trying to innovate on nature for the sake of human survival, but could these technologies actually do more harm than good?

Cookers, bikes, beds, tents, a school club, computers, vacuum cleaners, coat hangers – they are part of a growing range of new applications for cardboard, old and new. A combination of trends is enabling this growth: consumer expectations to reduce and reuse packaging continue to rise; new processes are enabling more effective cleaning of paper for re-use; emerging nations are focusing on frugal innovation and new products to support growing aspirations and local markets.

September 2011, the Green Chemistry Campus has started on a small scale. The vision of the Campus is to become the open chemical innovation centre when it comes to biobased innovations. In a biobased economy, 'green' materials take over the role of fossil fuels like oil. The Green Chemistry Campus wants to be the driving force for this development: an environment where larger and smaller companies, knowledge institutes and the authorities work together in an open innovation structure, to develop new products and technologies, focusing on biobased materials, -chemicals and -coatings. A dynamo, so that the companies involved can accelerate making a profit from their biobased business and speed up the transition to a biobased economy.

From the article: Is there a right dilation to be when you go to the hospital?
When you get to the hospital in labor, they will do a vaginal exam to see how far long your cervix is dilated. Were you having a labor induction? Were you in natural labor? Did you stay at the hospital or go home? How far dilated were you when you got admitted to the hospital for labor? Did you want to get there early?
babies 1,2 and 3
- I had early labor mild contractions with baby 1 walked up and down 30 stairs for an hour and my water broke went to the hospital I was 4 centimeters. Labored for 4 hours more and delivered a girl. Number 2 I went to the hospital after working out and I was 4 centimeters but my contractions weren't strong enough so they said and told me wasn't in labor I knew I was they sent me home anyway. I went home and an hour later after walking on a treadmill and eating dinner I went back I was 7 centimeters and 90 percent effaced. I was in agony and couldn't even st still in bed through the contractions. Got an epidural at 8 centimeters at 10 pm at 11 I pushed him out. Baby 3 began with steady contractions in the am from 4 am until 7 I had light contractions drove myself to the hospital after a shower and getting my things, husband stayed home with he kids. I was admitted and was 5 centimeters stayed in bed for this one until 11 I got an epidural and he was born at 1 pm. I felt great after each.

- I'm 38 weeks and 4 days , and I went to the hospital last night and I was having contractions lasting about a minute and 20 seconds ,and also happening every 3-5 minutes. They Checked my cervix and told me i was only a centimeter dilated, so they gave me Ambian and sent me home. I woke up and am still in HORRIBLE pain. This is my first kid so I have no idea what to do.

- —Guest tifany
- I am dilated 4 cm and my contractions are hard and 8 minutes apart. They gave me magnesium and medication I did not want to stop my contractions and sent me home on bed rest. I am in serious pain and do not understand why they will not help me. This is my 4th baby and this is the worst experience I have ever had.
- —Guest 4
7 cm
- I was dilated 7 cm. when I got to the hospital at 6 a.m. and my contractions were fairly strong and very regular. My pain level was about 4.5, maybe 5 and I'd been walking around at home and walked myself up to the maternity floor. After they saw I was dilated to 7 cm they put me in a bed and wouldn't let me get up for anything except to go to the bathroom. After a day fraught with stress from going around and around with the staff, begging to be allowed to get up and walk around, I gave in and let them give me Pitocin. 29 hours after my contractions became strong and regular my son was born healthy and happy. If I ever have another baby I'm staying at home as long as possible!!
- —Taltexanna
Different experiences
- I was 3 cm with my first...not painful but regular. Had a c/s because baby was breech. I was 4 cm with my second...pretty painful (so I thought). Baby was born 7 hours later. I was 5 cm with my third. Went to the hospital because my water broke. Contractions started 3 hours later and baby was born 2 hours after that. I was 5 cm with my 4th...contracting every 4 minutes. After 6 hours of painful contractions Dr sent me home and 25 minutes after baby was born at home.
- —Guest ellie m.
- When I started having painful contractions about 10 mins apart, I went to the hospital and was disappointed to hear I had not dilated at all. I went back home and returned the next afternoon and by then I was 2cm dilated. I was admitted because the contractions were so close together and very painful. But there was no augmentation. I was left to dilate naturally and by 2.00am the next day I was 10cm but my water was not yet broken. The doctor then had to break it herself and 30 minutes later my baby was out.
- —Guest Celly
Number 2
- 2nd baby I got to the hospital I was 2 centimeters dilated they didn't give me a choice to leave I was in a lot of pain but because I was only 2, they made me walk around the hospital hallways for about 2 hours. I finally got Into the room they said they were not sure if I was gonna be able to get a epidural I was dilated 9 already.
- —Guest Alexx
Different experiences
- I was 4 cm with my son - his labor was 3.5 hours total and I was 9 cm with my daughter - her labor was 24 hours (my contractions were super irregular so I thought I was in false labor).
- —Guest Sarah
1 centimeter
- I went to the hospital after a few hours of contractions and I was so disappointed to hear that I was only 1 centimeter dilated. They weren't painful, but regular and I was worried labor would go to fast. Ha! My doctor suggested that I go back home for a few hours and sleep. They offered me a sleeping pill but I said no. I went home and took a bath and did some relaxation and feel asleep. I woke up about 7 hours later in full blown labor. I got to the hospital at 6 centimeters and had an epidural about 30 minutes after that. Very comfortable all the way up until then and the baby showed up about 2 hours after that. It was perfect and I'm so glad I went home.
- —Hadley
1st Baby
- I was 3 centimeters dilated when I got there. I was going to go home, but they promised to leave me alone and the nurses did. Unfortunately the doctor broke my water without asking, when I had already decided to go home. So then I had to stay. I feel like that led to a lot of things that didn't need to happen.

Personal, Practical, Experienced.
When you hire the Paullin Law Firm, you will receive the personal attention you need. You'll speak directly to an experienced attorney. You will not be passed on to the ("C team").
Richmond, Virginia trial attorney Mark Paullin, President of the Paullin Law Firm, has over 27 years legal experience which includes insurance defense work (the lawyer on the other side of the personal injury case). Everyone knows that experience counts! Besides insurance defense work, Mark Paullin has worked as Assistant Attorney General for the State of Virginia focusing on construction litigation, he has worked as a criminal defense attorney, also in business litigation, Truck Accident law, libel/slander cases, Estate Planning, and over the last decade handled Personal Injury matters, as well as Diminution of Value cases in and around Virginia.
Richmond Personal Injury Attorney Mark Paullin will bring his knowledge of the insurance tactics & insurance tricks in Personal Injury matters and 27 years of experience to educate and prepare you for the possible outcomes of your personal injury case, and aggressively fight for you to get the compensation you deserve.
We have more than 35 years of legal experience, which includes insurance defense work, and experience on the other side of the process allows us to prepare clients for what may come their way. We offer individuals in Richmond and throughout Virginia the representation they need in legal matters involving:
- Personal injury: If you were injured because of the carelessness of another person or business, you need an attorney who can help you receive the compensation you need. The attorneys at the Paullin Law Firm help clients receive the fair compensation they deserve, including money for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Diminished Value: After a car accident with frame damage to the car, the value of the car is diminished. Virginia laws are in place to help people recover compensation for diminution after repairs. The Paullin Law Firm has handled many diminished value cases and successfully recovered substantially more than the insurance company initially offered.
- Criminal defense: If you were arrested for drunk driving or received a speeding ticket, it's important to contact an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. When you contact The Paullin Law Firm, an experienced attorney will tell you your rights and help you deal with the police and court officials.
- Estate planning: When they are created correctly, basic wills, living wills and powers of attorney give individuals a document to legally dictate their wishes. This can help see that their interests are protected, even if they are incapacitated.
- Business law: Paullin Law Firm provides legal counsel to businesses of all sizes. We have extensive experience in construction litigation, and the firm also handles a range of other business matters, including collection of accounts, creditors' rights, landlord-tenant disputes and real estate disputes.
Richmond Personal Injury Attorney Mark Paullin will bring his knowledge of the insurance tactics & insurance tricks in Personal Injury matters and 27 years of experience to educate and prepare you for the possible outcomes of your personal injury case, and aggressively fight for you to get the compensation you deserve.
Colin Drabert joined the Paullin Law firm in September of 2014, bringing his 8 years of legal experience including years spent as a Proscecutor in Henrico County, VA. Experienced in what to expect from the other side of criminal cases, Colin fights aggressively for his clients rights. You benefit because Mr. Drabert knows the other side. Colin offers clients a free 20 minute consultation to prepare for the courtroom and help you get the fairest possible outcome for your case.
With a combined experience of over 35 years, attorneys Mark Paullin and Colin Drabert offer clients a wealth of knowledge and a mission to serve each client with respect, tenacity, and desire to protect their rights.
"Mr. Paullin was able to handle an auto accident I was in a couple of years ago. He was professional and responded immediately to any questions or concerns I had. He even brought up something I had not considered in my case; diminished value of my car after the repairs were made. The insurance companies would have been a nightmare to deal with, but Mr. Paullin handled them so I didn't have to! We almost went to trial, then trial was postponed twice and finally settled for more than we originally intended. Thank you Mr. Paullin. I hope I don't have to use your services again, but if I do, I will go to you first."

Sandborn, who's familiar with the findings, agreed with Hart that patients need to think about the benefits of aspirin use, including the reduced risk of not only heart disease but also colorectal cancer.
The study found no link between aspirin use and ulcerative colitis, another digestive disorder.
Future research is needed to confirm the aspirin-Crohn's disease link and determine what aspirin has to do with the higher risk, Hart said.
"If it does turn out to be a true link in the future, then it will be only one of many factors involved in causing Crohn's disease," he said. "Because aspirin has benefits, users should continue with it."
The study was to be presented Monday at the Digestive Disease Week conference in New Orleans.

Josh Greene, Lead Pastor of First Baptist Church Fairdale, gives helpful and practical advice about how a youth ministry can get into and have a presence in the local schools in the community. While schools provide incredible potential for outreach and ministry, many of our churches fail to have a lasting or recognizable presence on campus. May Josh's wisdom from experience challenge and excite our own ministries to reach out more effectively to our schools.
I recently was asked to come speak to a college class (in the Youth Ministry department) about being involved on the school campuses near our church. In other words, they wanted to know how did I and how do I approach getting into and being at the middle schools and high schools in our area.
Let me first say that I really enjoy this topic. Some of the biggest and best ministry opportunities of our day are the public schools. However, I do not claim to be an expert. Not at all. I just enjoy it. And in my 10+ years of doing student ministry among the same schools in the same area, here is what I have learned. These 4 points are what I taught the class:
These 4 points (Visible, Vibrant, 'Vailable, & Vocal) should be helpful to you as you attempt to make a difference on the middle & high school campuses around you! May God give us grace and favor to get into people's lives and make a difference the way we see Jesus doing this in his earthly ministry. "For the Son of man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." -Mark 10:45
