Really invaluable tool. Watch out for scams though!
I am always hearing about don't use CraigsList because you will get ripped off. Well I have used them for over 10 years for a variety of things and I have had basically no problems. If you are buying and selling, just be careful. There are a lot of scammers but you can sniff them out a mile a way. Remember, it its to good to be true, it probably is.

This is a referral:
I received professional and affordable service from this business. The man that fixed my a/c unit was knowledgeable and honest. I would recommend this heating and air conditioning repair business to anyone.
craigslist.org is an evil company. If you use them to promote your business they will remove your Ad and put your account on hold for know good reason. They even allow flagging your Ad which usually comes from the criminals who scam people and your Ad gets REMOVED. They do nothing about the real theifs who hack their system and you will see like ten ads posted in the same city only hours appart.
Free ads, mostly nice people, you must stay in control of the transaction.If you must ship something Use U.S.postal money orders only.cash and ship at same time.IF you cant talk to the buyer or seller STAY AWAY.Love it.
This is the best website. I think this is the most popular website for all category. I use craigslist many time. But now a days many people are scam here.
Outright irresponsible, unethical and borderline illegal site.
If you're a crook and looking to conduct illegal activities, and fear nothing from the site management because they are too unethical to give a damn, this site is for you.
If you are an honest person who actually follows the TOS, you are wasting your time.
They really should bring charges against the management of this company.
When using this site familiarize yourself and follow the guidelines posted here to avoid scams. http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams
worst website ever, can't even speak with an actual person to resolve my problems. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!
The Place at 117 in Savoy, IL has TERRIBLE business practices with no regard for financial status changes in individuals lives. Do not rent from them if there is any chance you won't be able to come up with $7000-8000 on the spot to give their greedy faces for rent. If you lose your job they WILL NOT work with you to come to an agreement about getting out of the lease. Plus, your apartment will probably flood, they'll stick you in a storage unit for 2 weeks until you finally are told to return where you find mold all over the place. This is my experience. STAY AWAY!!!
Great work, usually use this site. Here you'll find anything you want! Well, sometimes on dating you'll see a lot of nude pics. Not, I lie, you'll see them always. But if you're searching something else - site will help you
So I think it's cool
I usually surf this site 1-2 times a week just to see what's out there. At 1 time I furnished my whole 1st apartment from here. Now I own a home so they really come in handy now.
I got a Vizio 52 inch flat screen tv for $300, you cant beat that at Walmart. It's just a great place to find stuff, even free stuff like hangers, desk and stuff like that.
Tip for consumers: Never take the 1st price. Seller are typically always willing to negotiate.Ask Tabitha about Craigslist.org
craigslist is helpful site but there are spammer are lots.So i use craigslist little.But many people like craigslist so much.
Tip for consumers: little loveAsk Vance about Craigslist.org
I like Craigslist but every user just has to be careful of scams. It's not Craigslists fault because they can't control everything that happens on their site.
I have used it to sell my furniture, electronics and clothes. I sold an iphone for $500. I met the person at a Starbucks and had no problems. When selling an expensive item make sure you meet in a public place and ask them to pay you in small bills. I would never take a check. Occasionally you will get creeps who respond to your posting telling you that they want your item and they are willing to pay more than your asking price. Be very suspicious of these people because it's a scam. Never give out any personal information. You can read more about it on the CL site.
Tip for consumers: I like CraigslistAsk Willard about Craigslist.org
Free ads - yeah right - but too much restriction make the advertiser feling agitated most of the time
Craigslist has gotten way too scammy. You can not even post an item for sell with out getting a ton of SMS messages from scammers. I find it very frustrating. But they do nothing, they only decide to make it harder for you to post ads. I had a hard time making my ads (For sale by owner- Furniture) go live. They kept getting ghosted.
Why over and over do we try to hook up with women on craigslist? Just for kicks I spent about 2 weeks emailing and texting random adds. I stayed away from the obvious prostitutes wanting what they call "roses, eg. Anything goes just bring me 60 roses" in the 2 weeks I tried to contact 138 women. Out of those 138 contacted 6 were real. All the others would show some goddess that would have no problem hooking up anywhere. There catch is they will send a picture of themselves and say they have had bad experiences so do me this little favor, it doesn't cost anything and only takes a minute to be verified... Don't Do It!!!! Big scam if you give your credit card to them kiss about 150 bucks out of your account and you now have access to 3 porn sites that do not exist. Bottom line if you want to spend endless hours getting frustrated then go ahead. Guys if you really need to hook up then get an escort. 250-350 bucks and your done. No hassle, just stay away from all the robots on craigslist. One last note one girls email said "you forgot to send a picture,"so I emailed a picture of my dog. She replies something like your hot here's another one of me. That's when the get verified crap starts. Hope this helps someone out there..
I'm on it everyday finding good deals. Buy and selling. Love them
I love this site!! It is great for selling furniture or even for picking up a good deal here and there. After my son told me about it, I was able to sell a whole heap of things we had sitting in our garage. Very happy with the overall experience and the best part is that it is free! Thank you Craigslist.
I wanted to buy ten iPhones.
But first read some reviews about the site on http://wotweb.com/craigslist.org
I found just negative feedbacks.
And decided first to buy case from that buyer.
And he scamed be. Thanks to wotweb.com I lost just 30 bucks, not 6000 dollars.
I use craigslist mainly for looking for housing and then furnishing my place. If you are patient and don't mind driving around your area, you can get a lot of good deals on used things.
This is a great free advertisement service. I use it to find potential clients and to post ads. It works good for me. For users is nice, that you can create ad without using your personal information. You will be contacted only with Craigslist email service. It helps to avoid spam. Great find.
I always happen to find what I need here and more. Infact I made a business deal thanks to the ads posted here.
Yet again, another website that plays tug-of-war with my emotions! I found my first full-time job on Craigslist. On the flip-side, every other apartment listing is scam; usually an archaeologist currently stationed in Africa who chooses you as the lucky person to send him money in exchange for the keys before you ever get a chance to look at the apartment. I've participated in a handful of promotional gigs and studies for money. Flip the coin! Every other job posting is a door-to-door sales job that masquerades as a prestigious sales job with 100k potential. I sold my collection of video games for a great price in a matter of 2 days. The "Personals" section is basically 42nd street in the 70s and 80s (Don't ask me why I know this). On craigslist, there's good, bad, worse, pathetic, and downright disgusting! Once you find that diamond in the rough, it's usually worth it!
I've done well through the years (I am female and older) selling tools and sports equipment in NY and Asheville. Ah, sold my ten-year old car quickly and a motorcycle just as fast - good poses and facts help. But most people here still ask stupid questions (ignore them and move on). Take photos, price your items well and they move. Sure, there are some flakes but c'est la vie. I never had a no show. No want when they came to my place, yes. But that's okay.
House rentals or selling: Don't even bother. We ended up at one final CL ad (we had had it with the junk on CL) and called the agent (?) and said never send us to a dump like that again. It doesn't work for rentals or selling. Use an agent or the MLS or Mountain Xpress.
Personals: Most people seem to be illiterate. In women only, they are mostly men posing as women or pretending to look for their chick. So, I'd read and report - one couple wanted a woman for polygamy (I explained what illegal means) or just stay clear.
The monitoring is baloney and automated. I wouldn't bother with it.
I'm always checking this site for cool things to buy, rent, try and do. They've really made some substantial improvements on the functioning of this site lately and the iphone app is great! I'm always posting things and finding hidden treasures. Very cool!
I'm pretty happy with CL. I've only run into one scammer, and it actually turned out to be the person who stole my uncle's scooter (so we actually ended up getting it back).
I mostly stick in the free section, and I've found tons of hidden gems among the items that most of the people are practically throwing away. I found an almost brand new desk, a great bookshelf, and tons of books.
We got evicted and had to move a few months ago, and in the few months of living in our new house I've completely refurnished my new room with stuff in great condition from Craigslist. I really like this site.
Since day one I have been a fan of craigslist. I have found everything their is on facebook!!! I have brought and sold cars, furniture, gave away free things and had jobs through craigslist
Craigslist is AMAZING when it comes to finding last second tickets to phenomenal concerts and things of that nature. You are putting trust into humanity when working with Craigslist, though. I have heard stories of individuals going to pick up what was advertised and they were mugged or worse, but these are few and far between. I have had great encounters with people, and have been able to get some amazing things along the way!
After using Craigslist for quite some time, I give it four out of five stars. The pros of Craigslist include plenty of listed ads in a very quick manner in addition to a variety of different listings such as: jobs, cars, housing, etc. One of the biggest cons of Craigslist is definitely the scammers. In my experience of finding housing ads on craigslist, three out of five ads ended up being an obvious scam. Thankfully, the site moderators take them down very quickly, but it would very beneficial to Craigslist if they were to take more preventative measures against scammers.
I like using this website to look for work ONLY not dating LOL. Decent amount of job ads. I found a job thru this site-NO JOKE. But I think that was more pure luck IMO. Still,it works-I've received many job interviews thru Craigslist.org.
I will always be 50/50 on this site. Sometimes I sell furniture or items that I don't want, and I was get the I'm interested but not sure. It seems the users sometimes don't get the fact that I don't want them wasting my time.
Craigslist to me is a joke of a classified site. I was looking to find clients for massage and came across some weird people on here. Some of the men I've communicated with are married looking for happy endings which to me makes the massage field look trashy and low class. I am just trying to make money legitimately not just doing sexually inappropriate things to men who are not getting any attention from their wives at home. I even had a potential client try to cheat me of money to ask me to do two back to back 90 minute massages for $30...WTF was this fool for real? A standard 90 minute massage runs about $90-100 per session and knowing this moron tried to supercede me via email I passed on the gig. You have to really screen people you meet on Craigslist before you agree to meet them in your home or in public. I have also seen people posting things for specific ethnic groups since some of the men here think asian, latin, and eastern european women will do sexual favors for extra money. Again the behavior of some of the people on here makes you wonder how trashy they make the massage field with them asking for happy endings when your client should want the session to be kept professional. Either way screen everyone you meet on classified sites so you know who is coming to your place of business or your personal residence.
This site is great for finding different things, however it is growing with non legit characters signing on. Make sure to never go alone anywhere when answering any ads.
Love this place for finding deals or selling something, however there are way to many shady people who use the adult personals part. Other than that it is great, one of the best places on the internet.
I love craigslist, but you have to be really careful since there are a lot of scammers there. There are some simple security measures like buying only locally, meeting real people before making any financial decisions, etc. I bought my first car from craigslist from a local guy in Minnesota, and although I was very afraid since the car was used and the price cheap, it turned out great. My 1997 Geo Prism ran just great until an idiot smashed it on a road 3 months ago (thanks God I'm alive!). I also like to browse craigslist for free stuff, garage/estate sales and musical instruments, but seldom buy anything. I think it's a great site to connect with people. I got very little scam BTW, actually only once and it was very obvious.
This is just about the best classified site you can use....how could I not give it a perfect review!?!
I have to say I enjoy the site, It is a little bit like a treasure trove of whatevers...You do not know what you might find or who you might meet BUT you do have to be somewhat cautious on there just because there are so many people who could be out to scam others.
I once posted an ad on craigslist personals, it was the casual m for w NSA section, where I posted an ad and a cpl pics. BIG MISTAKE. Soon after, my junk mail became flooded with spam, these spammers send u emails from supposed women who are lookin to hook up. The messages are composed with subtle discrepancies of English, as if the sender is from overseas (Nigeria?) and doesn't quite grasp the commonality of the language. The names of these "women" are obvious fake (ex.: Foxhorn Lippy, States McBroom, WTF?!?) and they'll actually use the same pics for different names. Also, each message they send provide a link to some b.s. Dating website where they are obviously a scam to get hold of ur bank acct #. I constantly have to erase my junk folder bcuz of these a-holes flooding my folder with this nonsense. I even tried to post a rant on CL about this. The same day, I was told that my post was flagged and removed. WTF craigslist???
I like craiglist. But I want to give a little advice. I almost being scam, but fortunately decided to call pay pal and found out the truth. DO NOT take payments through pay pal when selling something in craiglist. It is very easy for people to request a refund after getting merchandise and you ending with no money and no merchandise. CASH ONLY. Believe me, I was save because I contacted Pay pal and they warned me of me being scam. Even if they provided you with personal info like ph #, address, dl #, dont do it. Its easy to create a person identity.
A guy lived for several months all over the state, off of finding people on Craigslist. This tells you the mentality of this website.
I love it when people get together and make things simple. You'll find everything on Craigslist. Everything is cheaper. It's awesome.
Very good website
A real old timer. No photos, no excitement, just the bare MS DOS-like approach. Very outdated, plus no effective policing of bad ads. Just try finding an apartment to rent in New York City from someone who claims to be a property owner and IS actually one.
I love using Craigslist to buy stuff... just make sure to meet in a public place and NEVER allow someone to "pay" with paypal (they can make it look like they did even though they didn't)
This Site majorly Helps in finding locally homes for rent, buy and sell across the world. This is the prefect place to hunt for homes.
Craigslist is an amazing site. Yes it's full of scammers and con artists but it's free and if you know what you're doing, it's one of the best sites on the internet in the US.
For local products or services such as rentals or tree service, I have found Craigslist to be indispensable.
good and bad experiences on craigslist. I've had people show up and be great, then I've had people that were a complete waste of time. Wish craigslist could screen users so i know who they are and the bad ones can be avoided
The website is good in finding whatever you want or need.
But, here are some reasons why I do not like Craigslist so much:
1. It seems to attract many shady, dishonest, corrupted people.
2. Most of the sellers probably would do not accept Paypal, debit/credit card, and/or any other safe payment from buyers. MOST OF SELLERS KEEP ASKING FOR CASH WHICH IS NOT SAFE AT ALL.
3. You may see a bunch of items that are worthless, damaged, or slightly disgusting.
4. Some sellers may require buyers to meet or pick up their item(s) at their house.
This site is amazing; I have gotten my car, my rat cage, and my kitchen table/chairs here, all at ridiculously low prices for great quality. Plus 2 jobs that I found posted here. It just has every major thing you could ever need!
Obviously just make sure you see photos of what you are buying, do your research, see it in person before committing to the sale, etc so you don't get ripped off.

Trivia and Quotes
Quotes (19)
Joan: Dynasty was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than sitting around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.
Joan: According to my sister, the expert novelist Jackie Collins, most men stray. And sex doesn't mean anything to most men. But I wouldn't date a man who slept around. Absolutely not. I've divorced men for that.
Joan: Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you someone who has never achieved much.
Joan: Cosmetic surgery is the plain woman's revenge. I think everybody should do what they want to do, if they want to have lips like a trout, let them.
Joan: The thing about sex is you should have as much of it as you can.
Joan: You can't stop getting older, but you can stop getting old.
Joan: Loneliness is the universal problem of rich people.
Joan: People still want to talk to me about that Star Trek episode,some seem to remember me more for that than anything else I've done.
Trivia (11)
In 1997, Queen Elizabeth II granted Joan the title of Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).
Joan appeared on the December 1983 cover of Playboy at the age of 50.
By the end of Dynasty's run on television, Joan was making a whopping $120,000 per episode.
Joan was a great admirer of former prime minister, Margaret Thatcher.
Turned down Frank Sinatra, Robert F. Kennedy, Darryl F. Zanuck and Dean Martin.
She had affairs with Dennis Hopper, Arthur Lowe, Sydney Chaplin, Ryan O'Neal, and George Englund (Cloris Leachman's husband).
Refused to return to work on Dynasty (1981) at the beginning of the 1985-1986 season until she was given a raise, forcing the writers to write her out of the first episode of the season. It was a bold move on her part, because the previous season's cliffhanger was the infamous "Moldavian Massacre", in which all the characters were shot. It would have been very easy for the producers to fire her and eliminate the character of Alexis by having her being killed in the shootout. However, she successfully negotiated a raise to around $60,000 per episode and returned to work, missing only one episode.
Joan is allergic to shellfish.

A June 9 article in The Star caught my eye. The article said that Indianapolis is planning a French-style electric car program. Unfortunately, this program is going to be very expensive. When I studied mechanical Engineering at purdue, I learned some valuable information about energy.
In Indiana, approximately 75 percent of our electricity is generated by coal. So, our electric cars are certainly not pollution free. It takes huge amounts of electrical energy to run cars. The truth is that the best source of energy to run cars is natural gas which is 99 percent pollution free and way less expensive than electricity. We have enough natural gas in the U.S. to run all of our cars and trucks for the next 100 years. Yes, it must be liquified first, but that can happen as soon as the demand goes up enough to justify it. Other countries are already doing this
I wish elected officials would do some real research before they jump into the next hype that sounds great but is not practical. I love Mayor Greg Ballard, but he got snookered on this one.

Created by glaciers, the 120 feet depths of Lake Tippecanoe hide a veritable smorgasbord of recreational options. Kayaking, power and sail boating, jet skiing and water skiing are only a small sample of the attractions that continue to entice residents to Kosciusko County, one of Indiana's real estate hotspots. In fact, Lake Tippecanoe is connected to the Barbee Chain by a stream, the Tippacanoe River, which serves as the lake's outlet.
Fishers delight in the variety of over 30 kinds of fish, but the best fishing comes from the hungry mouths of bluegill, yellow perch, largemouth bass, redear sunfish, black crappie and northern pike. Many homes have their own piers, but public access is available on Grassy Creek, a tributary that connects the lake to several smaller lakes.
Residents of Lake Tippecanoe take great pride in their lake. In 1944, early residents formed the Lake Tippecanoe Property Owners with primary goals of preserving the beauty and health of the lake, including the prevention of pollution and overcrowding. These efforts and others have culminated to make Lake Tippecanoe a prized part of Indiana's lake system.

|Mi biografía
Lise was born in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. She was always quite successful in school – but ironically found understanding poetry difficult.
Lise was intrigued with a short Charles Dixen poem that appeared in a Victoria magazine in the 1990's that reminded her of a childhood experience when she was about six-years-old, "Can I unmoved See thee lying on a log, Expiring frog?" As children, one summer while camping, some boys cut the legs off of frogs to see if they would grow back. Dixen's simple poem transported her back to that early childhood experience and was surprised at how this simple poem could stir up memories from the past with such emotion.
Her interest in poetry blossomed after writing her first poem "Snowflakes" January 1st, 2000. Her poems are simple sentiments from the heart that breathe a love of nature, romance, travel and family.
She hopes that these poems will transport you to that secret hiding place in your heart where joy blooms."

Water: Underground Injection Control
You are here: WaterOur WatersGround WaterUnderground Injection ControlClasses of Wells
Classes of Wells
This page describes the six categories or "classes" of injection wells, along with the estimated national inventory for each class.
The six classes are based on similarity in the fluids injected, activities, construction, injection depth, design, and operating techniques. This categorization ensures that wells with common design and operating techniques are required to meet appropriate performance criteria for protecting underground sources of drinking water (USDWs).
|Class I
|Inject hazardous wastes, industrial non-hazardous liquids, or municipal wastewater beneath the lowermost USDW
|680 wells
|Class II
|Inject brines and other fluids associated with oil and gas production, and hydrocarbons for storage.
|172, 068 wells
|Class III
|Inject fluids associated with solution mining of minerals beneath the lowermost USDW.
|22,131 wells
|Class IV
|Inject hazardous or radioactive wastes into or above USDWs. These wells are banned unless authorized under a federal or state ground water remediation project.
|33 sites
|Class V
|All injection wells not included in Classes I-IV. In general, Class V wells inject non-hazardous fluids into or above USDWs and are typically shallow, on-site disposal systems. However, there are some deep Class V wells that inject below USDWs.
|400,000 to 650,000 wells
Note: an inventory range is presented because a complete inventory is not available.
|Class VI
|Inject Carbon Dioxide (CO2) for long term storage, also known as Geologic Sequestration of CO2
|6-10 commercial wells expected to come online by 2016. (Interagency Task Force on Carbon Capture and Storage)
|For drawings of all types of UIC Wells, see the typical wells page.

But that's just the point; the European political elite has, in every country but Ireland, chosen to jam the Treaty (which fundamentally changes the political structure of the EU) through without a public vote. The Irish, who enjoy the constitutional right to referenda on such matters, answered the call of democracy and rejected the treaty- not necessarily because it was a good idea, but because they could. The rejection has prompted a hail of criticism from the euro elites, prominent among whom is Luxembourg's prime minister Jean-Claude Juncker. In what can only be described as a stunning coincidence, Juncker was in line to fill one of the powerful roles created by the Treaty.
All of which is perhaps a reminder that Europe is as bloated, corrupt, and sclerotic as it was in 2000-2001, when the euro was pummeled in a crisis of confidence. However, the loss of stature of the US, both in terms of its political leadership and its financial markets, has perhaps obscured the warts on the European project for the past few years. Nevertheless, with a change in political leadership around the corner in the United States, might longer term investors take stock of their positions and begin to close some long-standing dollar shorts?
Maybe. What does seem clear is that EUR/USD is approaching some pretty key technical levels, a break of which could spur a nice dollar rally.
However, it's probably premature to get too excited about buying dollars. Last weekend's G8 meeting whiffed in terms of being remotely relevant, and the market is still pricing some pretty punchy expectations for Fed tightening. Some commentators have suggested that if there were going to be a US recession, it would be here already.
Who's to say it isn't? The labour market has deteriorated to a degree that is typically only observed in recessions. Sure, the last unemployment reading may have been distorted by odd factors....but does anyone not think that the birth/death model isn't artificially inflating monthly payroll figures. And sure, recent retail sales figures were better than expected, reading a "whopping" 2.5% y/y gain. Of course, if we deflate it by the CPI (yeah, yeah, I know, there are different things in each basket), we get a comfortably negative volume reading...which we haven;t seen since...er...the aftermath of the last recession.
So for now, Macro Man is content to leave EUR/USD to the mercantilists, spivs, and masochists. Now if only those guys would lave equity markets alone, perhaps there'd be some money to be made this summer!

Particularly galling has been listening to comments from the French political establishment chiding the Irish for voting the wrong way - given that the French govt decided this time to disenfranchise their entire population after the people inconveniently rejected the same proposals as the Lisbon treaty contained some years ago.

Juncker is the guy that gets me. He's on the tape constantly, whining about this or that. In reality, given the constituency that he represents, he should have as much say on the world stage as, say, the mayor of Fresno.

Do you think SWFs are up to some mischiefs in equity markets?

And with core EC cpi running at 1.7% yoy they'll need those wheelbarrows at the ECB....Fresno's too big for Juncker, I'm thinking more like Grootfontein...

macroman, I'd be interested in your estimate of SWF purchases of international equities (excluding their stakes in the big banks). I'd guess about $50b from China over the last 12ms and maybe $100b from the Gulf. Norway is known, more or less. sum it up and it is in the $200b range -- with $75-100b flowing into US equities. That at least is my very rough ballpark estimate. it incidentally is well above the portfolio equity purchases in the tic data ($35b over the last 12ms in the TIC data, counting around $25-30b of $ invested in US banks from Nov through February..)

Brad, I suspect that you know more than me on this one, especially in terms of the flow. BOK is a buyer of equities, as if of course GIC. To be honest, I don't think these guys have as much impact in equities as they do in FX, since their potential universe is much broader, their activities are much smaller, and in many cases I imagine they are disintermediated via third party managers.

You nailed it on disintermediation macro.
I have a client that is in commercial real estate that came to me to see if I had a recommendation on a REIT to buy...not the a few shares, the entire thing.
The SWFs put up 100% of the money, take a 40% interest in the LLC and want a 5 year exit strategy. Deal size? Minimum $50mm to talk, sweet spot $250mm and a $10B ceiling. The same type of deal is being structured on the PE side of the business too. Whether it's Russian, Asian, or Gulf money...they all want a local head to come after if it goes wrong.
Manager beware!
- June 16, 2008 at 11:51 PM
Another reason to believe we are in recession: I have to believe that the retail sales data have been goosed by the tax rebates. When the rebates are gone retail sales will reflect that.

Planting TreesFriday, July 29th, 2011
Today we planted trees at Lela Obaro with the parents. The school management committee (parent run) organized to purchase trees to help create a windbreak and identify the border of the school property. The school grounds are really starting to take shape. Classroom construction is also making progress as you can see in the pictures below.

Milla Jovovich (Oct 18th, 2008)
Milla Jovovich's side-parted hairstyle looks stunning with glossy waves and a neatly pinned and accessorized side.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Combine a dime-size amount of styling lotion with a few drops of shine serum and apply onto damp hair. Using a paddle brush, blow-dry two-inch sections straight. Create a side part.
Step 2: Spritz a two-inch section of dry hair with styling spray. Starting about five inches away from your scalp, wrap the section around a large curling iron. Hold in place for a few seconds to set. Release and repeat while alternating curl direction until all of your hair is wavy.
Step 3: Pin one side back and add an ornate accessory as desired.

TRENTON -- Same-sex couples in New Jersey are on the brink of finding out if they will have the right to marry.
Just hours before Chief Justice Deborah Poritz's retirement, the state Supreme Court is expected to release its ruling on gay marriage Wednesday at 3:00 p.m.
The case being decided, Lewis v. Harris, was brought before the court in February, when seven gay and lesbian couples challenged the state for the right to marry. Lower courts had previously denied the couples that right. ...

Rod Carew
From BR Bullpen
Rodney Cline Carew
- Bats Left, Throws Right
- Height 6' 0", Weight 182 lb.
- High School George Washington High School (Manhattan)
Inducted into Hall of Fame in 1991
[edit] Biographical Information
"I get a kick out of watching a team defense me. A player moves two steps in one direction and I hit it two steps in the other direction. It goes right by his glove and I laugh." - Rod Carew
Rod Carew was born in a train in the Panama Canal Zone to Panamanian parents, who named him after the delivering doctor - Rodney Cline. He moved to the United States as a teenager when his parents emigrated to New York City.
Rod Carew lined, chopped and bunted his way to 3,053 career hits. He used a variety of relaxed or crouched batting stances to hit over .300 in 15 consecutive seasons with the Minnesota Twins and California Angels, achieving a .328 lifetime batting average. He was honored as American League Rookie of the Year in 1967, won the league MVP Award 10 years later and was named to 18 straight All-Star teams, only missing the honor in his final, 1985 season.
He was one of the most prolific hitters for average of his generation. In 1972, amazingly enough, Carew led the American League in batting without hitting a single home run. On May 12th that year, he reached base 8 times in a game; he was the last major league player to do so until Melky Cabrera matched the feat on August 10, 2014; he hat 5 hits, including 2 doubles, and 3 walks in 10 plate appearances as the Twins lost, 4-3, to the Milwaukee Brewers in 22 innings. He won seven batting titles, including his best overall season, 1977 in which his .388 batting average was the highest in baseball since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941. He went over .400 on June 26th, and never dropped below .370 the rest of the season. He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated with Ted Williams in July. He also won the AL's Most Valuable Player Award that year. However, his trun at .400 was overshadowed by George Brett's three years later. In addition, he is one of only two players (the other being Ty Cobb) to lead Major League Baseball in batting average in three consecutive years, doing so from 1973 through 1975.
Originally a second baseman, Carew moved to first base in 1975 to lengthen his career. Frustrated by the Twins' inability to keep its young stars, Carew announced his intention to leave the team in 1979. He was then traded to the Angels for four players: Ken Landreaux, Brad Havens, Paul Hartzell and Dave Engle.
Carew stole home 17 times in his career. He completed the feat 7 times in 1969, second to only Ty Cobb. He was an outstanding base stealer until injuries cut down his speed.
Sometimes a target of racism, Carew received death threats when he announced his intention to marry a Jewish woman. Many sources have long claimed that he converted to Judaism when he married his wife and in this sense he is sometimes compared to Sammy Davis Jr. as a famous "Jewish convert of color"; however, this is incorrect. He has never undergone a formal conversion ceremony nor publicly identified himself as an adherent of Judaism, however, his children were raised Jewish and it is assumed that as such he partakes in some Jewish activities such as lighting Hanukkah candles or organizing Passover Seders with his family. Nonetheless, the story about him converting to Judaism is an urban myth. He is named in one of Adam Sandler's Hanukkah Songs as "Hall of Famer Rod Carew!" He is also referenced in the Beastie Boys 1994 single "Sure Shot" with the line "And I got mad hits like I was Rod Carew."
When Carew's 18-year-old daughter, Michelle, fell victim to leukemia, Carew made national headlines again. Her Panamanian-Jewish ethnic mix lowered the likelihood of finding a suitable donor for a bone marrow transplant; in spite of Carew's national pleas, she died in April 1996 before a donor could be located.
Following his retirement, Carew has worked as a hitting coach for the Angels (1992-1999) and for the Milwaukee Brewers (2000-2001). He suffered a massive heart attack while golfing in September of 2015 but survived, although he had to undergo six hours of heart surgery and his longer-term prognosis was poor unless he could get a heart transplant.
His #29 is retired by the both the Twins and the Angels. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on January 8, 1991 by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
He remains a national hero in Panamá. On January 19th, 2004, Panama's National Stadium in Panama City, was renamed "Rod Carew Stadium".[1] In 2005, Carew was named the second baseman on the Major League Baseball Latino Legends Team.
He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on January 8, 1991 by the Baseball Writers Association of America. In 1999, he ranked Number 61 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players, and was nominated as a finalist for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
His first baseball card appearance was in the 1967 Topps set.

|Variation in distances among teats of Holstein cows: implications for automated milking.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 7593838 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Distances among teats were measured immediately prior to and immediately following milking in 912 lactations of 506 Holstein cows to assess variation due to age (parity), stage of lactation, year, and observer. Data were used to simulate success or failure to attach by the Gascoigne Melotte robotic milker. Distance between front teats premilking was nearly twice that for rear teats. When attachment of the cluster to an udder with a particular set of teat distances was simulated, excessive distance between front teats was the most frequent cause of attachment failure for third and later parities. For first parity, extremely narrow distance between rear teats was the most frequent cause of predicted attachment failure. Reduction in teat distances because of milking was proportionately much greater for distance between rear teats (45 to 50%) than for other teat distances (25 to 29%). In a study of 10 Holstein cows measured at milking and at 0, 6, 8, and 12 h after milking, distances among teats increased linearly with time elapsed postmilking. Electronic storage of a profile of a cow for teat distance and adjustments for milking interval and stage of lactation can increase chances for successful cluster attachment.

2012 Economic Impact Survey Results Completed
The second phase of the GLVADA Board-approved three-year Economic Impact Study has recently been completed, with full report findings presented to the Board of Directors when they met on July 10th. Based on the Board's approval of the survey's findings, each GLVADA dealer will receive a copy of the full report. As was the case in the 2011 survey, we did not have 100% response. However, according to Auto Outlook, the survey company administering the study, GLVADA's response rate was one of the best they had ever seen. In addition, Auto Outlook President Jeff Foltz commented, "I have completed hundreds of these studies over the years, and I can honestly say that I have never had a cleaner set of survey data than GLVADA. The 2012 figures are very consistent with 2011 and there are almost no crazy outliers. We can definitely have a lot of confidence in the numbers."
The survey revealed a $1.9 billion impact on the Lehigh Valley economy. According to the study, GLVADA dealerships had total sales of $1.94 billion in 2012, with the average dealership bringing in $38.7 million. As a group, dealers employed nearly 4,200 people, making automotive the third largest employer in the region. This figure accounts for roughly 10.5% of all local retail jobs. The average dealership holds a $2.89 million payroll, with a total of $217 million paid in salaries in 2012 association wide. This is based upon total unit sales in 2012 of 16,800 vehicles.
All survey information is presented on a collective format, or on a dealer average. All information was collected on a strict confidential basis; not even the surveyor knew the name of the dealers participating. A full press conference where final survey reports will be presented is being planned.

In vice presidential debate, Ryan played it cool, Biden played rough
It was as much a do-over as a debate.
Vice President Joe Biden ostensibly took the stage on Thursday night to square off against the man who seeks to replace him, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
But almost from the moment the debate began in Danville, Ky., it was clear that Biden's real mission was to do what President Obama failed to do in his lackluster performance against Republican nominee Mitt Romney last week.
And in doing so, Biden was seeking to repair the damage from that stumble on Obama's part, which has moved poll numbers across the map in the direction of the GOP ticket.
On issue after issue, Biden defended what the Obama administration has done and painted the Republican ticket as out of step with the concerns of average Americans.
"A bunch of malarkey," said Biden when Ryan warned that cutting defense spending would make the country weak.
"I've never met two guys who're more down on America across the board," added the vice president when the subject turned to the economy.
Ryan, on the other hand, chose to play it cautiously, seeking to avoid mistakes, to display the mastery of fiscal policy that he has gained as chairman of the House Budget Committee and to reassure swing voters that the policies of a Romney presidency would not decimate social programs.
When he was talking, Biden dominated the debate and an opponent 27 years his junior.
And though Biden is a man with a reputation for making gaffes, his worst moments came when he wasn't talking but remained under the unblinking gaze of the camera.
As Ryan spoke, the split screen picked up Biden's grins and chortles, suggesting a dismissiveness and scorn for the views of an opponent whom he repeatedly called "my friend," and he appeared to make no attempt to suppress them.
Although Biden's frequent interruptions may have revived the spirits of the Democratic faithful, they may have been too much for less partisan viewers.
"Mr. Vice President, I know you're under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground, but I think people would be better served if we don't keep interrupting each other," Ryan said at one point.
Biden made many of the arguments that Obama, for whatever reason, failed to make in his first debate against Romney.
For instance, Biden raised Romney's controversial comment, caught on videotape, in which the Republican presidential nominee suggested that the 47 percent of Americans who do not pay income taxes are government-dependent freeloaders who consider themselves victims.
"These people are my mom and dad, the people I grew up with, my neighbors," Biden said. "They pay more effective tax ⅛through payroll and other taxes⅜ than Gov. Romney pays in his federal income tax. They are elderly people who, in fact, are living off of Social Security. They are veterans and people fighting in Afghanistan right now."
Ryan defended Romney, drawing laughs from the audience when he noted: "The vice president very well knows that sometimes the words don't come out of your mouth the right way."
Biden retorted: "But I always say what I mean. And so does Romney."
One of Ryan's missions was to show a softer side of Romney, a son of privilege whom many view as out of touch with average Americans.
Ryan told a story of how Romney had come to the aid of a family whose children were hurt in an auto accident.
"This is a man who gave 30 percent of his income to charity, more than the two of us combined," Ryan said. "Mitt Romney's a good man. He cares about 100 percent of Americans in this country."

Just had to share because I think only a fellow sewist can understand this joy.
I was at Starbucks the other day wearing a loose top i made from a scarf my sister-in-law gave me.
The lady behind me said "you look really great. Where did you get your outfit?"
I was thrilled to say "i made it"...
And she asked me if I sell them somewhere!
An ultimate compliment for a sewist!
Another thing, off the topic...
I just got a new iron since my last one burned my chiffon dress I was working on for my SIL.
I got Shark, and so far I'm loving it.
I don't know what it is, but I think the tip and edges heat up well that it's easier to press even the small hem.
Another joy as a sweist to find a tool that works!
Congratulations! You must have looked terrific.
Congratulations! It is always a thrill when someone thinks your work is lovely enough to comment on.

Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
Limp pacing and countless shots of Washington's skyline plague the narrative.Andy Webster, New York Times, 03.29.2013
A few wild, third-act twists give Perry's middling melodrama some soap-opera kick. But all the finger-wagging sure does get tiring after a while.Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly, 03.29.2013
A ludicrous marital drama-cum-morality play from contemporary black cinema's most prolific multihyphenate.Scott Foundas, Variety, 03.29.2013
Perry's ongoing disinterest in improving as a filmmaker is now seemingly part of his unshakable belief in himself, his insistence on doing his thing his way.Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times, 03.29.2013

As much as I wanted to love this lipstick I just can't get it to work for me. I have nc20 skin and am extremely freckly and I just feel that this lipstick is too pale for me. My lips are quite thin also so I am very picky about lipsticks. The lipstick is a cremesheen which is my favourite formula. I really want to try and make this lipstick work as it looks so lovely on some people!

AAAAHHH ! FINALLY THE PERFECT NUDE !! I am soo happy with this lipstick - bought it today in the hope it will at least beat some of the other nudes I have collected and wow :) I will probably be buying this for the rest of my life !!
I have very red lips naturally and with my pale skin it just looks odd and I look washed out so have been on the hunt for a while. MAC myth was my first attempt, and yes it is a perfect shade but it looked awful on dry lips.. which my lips always were as it dried mine out :( I tried lip balm under/over and it wouldn't have any staying power.
I then tried MAC's Honeylove, which wasn't my cup of tea at all - far too dark for my pale skin and just doesn't look right.
So back to the MAC counter today, and I was choosing between repurchasing myth ( so as not to waste more money on ones I wont use !) or trying another. I went with this and as soon as I tried it I was in love... my skin tone suddenly looked great, my eyes popped and my lips looked nude, shimmery but subtle !
PLEASSSEE buy it or at least test it at the counter !
It isn't too pale or solid so you don't get the foundation look, it's just fantastic. I would rate this for hours :)

I had wanted Creme D'Nude for a while, but wasn't quite sure if it would suit my very pale skin. It was love at first sight when the MUA in MAC tried it on me! A very beautiful nude shade that can be worn with anything. It's light enough to be wearable on pale skin, but dark enough to not wash you out. It's also sheer but buildable - the sheer-ness is a plus as it avoids the dreaded concealer lip effect and your natural lip colour shines through. Will definitely repurchase when my tube runs out!

I like this lipstick. The packaging is the same as every basic MAC lipstick, black, sleek, and it keeps your lipstick protected. The glossy sheen is nice, but it wasn't part of my daily makeup routine. If you want the coveted "Myth" look, just toned down, this is the lipstick for you. The problem I had with this lipstick is it's lack of pigment. It comes on very well, but I was looking for a more pigmented lipstick. This lipstick just tones down my natural lip colour and adds some shine.

So happy with this product! I am loving the colour on my skin and find it to have a beautiful glossy finish to it, meaning I don't have to wear a gloss on top. The packaging is beautiful just as with all MAC lipsticks. The only downside for me would be the price, but I think you get what you pay for. If you want an opaque, slightly glossy nude for pale skin, then I would recommend this one.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Other

Love love love! Good pigment. I apply this lipstick, and then a lipgloss that's either light pink or nude over it and it looks great. Definitely recommend buying this on ebay which is much cheaper than in the store.

I've had Creme d'Nude twice. The first time, I hated it, swapped it, and then on a whim, decided to acquire it again since i love nude lipsticks, and couldn't quite figure out why I didn't like it.
2nd time was the charm. Once i paired it with MAC BBQ Lipliner or Prestige Cocoa l/l, it was a hit! I think the trick with making this one less pasty is to use a slightly darker lipliner, blend it in, and then apply Creme d'Nude. This is very similar to Myth Satin lipstick, although being a cremesheen, while the texture is more forgiving, the staying power isn't quite as good as Myth. Overall though, on my NC40 skintone, it's a winner now, one that I reach for often and looks fantastic with a deep charcoal smokey eye! continued >>

This is the only MAC lipstick that I've ever completely used up and repurchased. I have a fairly large collection of MAC l/s, which I suppose is probably why I rarely ever actually use them up. However, I use this one so frequently that I manged to do just that. It's by far my favorite nude pink lip color. It's so hard for me to find a light/nude/baby pink shade that works with my neutral/warm coloring. It seems that most are cool-toned and that doesn't work for me at all. Creme d'Nude is perfectly neutral and doesn't wash me out at all. I'm really happy this shade is in the Cremesheen formula as I love how smooth and glossy and non-drying it is. Looks great when I'm tanned and with my natural very fair skin. This might actually be my favorite lip color, period (and I have a ridiculously insane amount of lipsticks and glosses).

I don�t like this lipstick, it was my fist lipstick from Mac...I hate that makes me look like i'm sick, it looks paler than my skin (nc30) and it makes the lips look patchy and uneven. If you are looking for a perfect nude for nc30 skin tone honeylove is the one.

i dont know what to say about this lipstick. its .. okay. i find that it tends to highlight flakes and dryness if your lips are not freshly exfoliated and moisturized. it looks decent with a smoky eye, but i find the finish a little frosty for everyday wear. i wouldnt repurchase this, just because i find it so mediocre for the price.

L love this serger!
By Darlene
from Orangeville
I purchased this 3 yrs ago from TSC and have been using ever since.Its easy to use. Diagrams are colored on the machine to show you how and where to wrap the thread.You can do a rolled hem on this machine and turns out beautiful.Believe me when I say I have put this machine to the test. It serges 3 layers of fleece very nicely. I've serged every type of material with this machine.After each project, I use the Air Cans from Staples to blow away all little material hairs and fibers. Its my way of keeping this machine clean and makes it last longer.It can handle any type of thread...no worries. Switching needles is sizes are no problem either.Being a serger is heavy and the manual if you lose it can be easily found on the internet.PLUS, at the TSC is still the cheapest price anywhere.I also bought the showstopper janome gem plus LSS...this serger on this machine I will use for finer fabrics - flanelette, cottons, jersey knits etc. The Dreamstitcher serger will be used for my heavier fabric project - this is what is made for....no I have a choice....yes!!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hangover treatment
Here are tips on preventing a hangover:
- Drink slowly and on a full stomach. Keep in mind that if you are a small person, the effects of alcohol consumption are greater on you than on a larger person.
- Drink only in moderation. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism recommends that women have no more than 1 drink per day and men no more than 2 drinks per day. One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1 1/2 ounces of 80-proof liquor.
- Drink a glass of water in between drinks containing alcohol. This will help you drink less alcohol, and will also decrease the dehydration from drinking alcohol.
- Avoid alcohol completely to prevent hangovers.
If you have a hangover, consider the following for relief:
- Some people recommend foods and drinks that contain fructose (such as fruit juice or honey). However, there is very little scientific evidence to show that fructose will help your body burn the alcohol faster -- that is, get the alcohol out of your body faster.
- Eat well, if possible. Electrolyte solutions and bouillon soup are good for replacing the salt and potassium you lose from drinking alcohol.
- Get plenty of rest. Most hangovers are gone within 24 hours. Remember, even if you feel good the morning after heavy drinking, the lasting effects of alcohol will reduce your ability to perform at your best.
- Avoid taking any medications for your hangover that contain acetaminophen (such as Tylenol), because it may cause liver damage when combined with alcohol.

Episode 5: Sean hit a new Lowe
Bears!!!!!! Yessssssssaaaaaa
Sarah proves yet again that she knows style from formal wear on down to casual wear in this cape sweater. Blue looks great on her and she never fails by having on the latest fashion trends.
Sean and Catherine: It's about time
As Catherine is waiting in a whiteout blizzard, I can't help but notice how stunning she looks from head to toe. Her hair is the perfect umber to pull off those over sized, gold hoop earrings. Her outerwear is very put together, even though I am sure she is freezing her ass off.
Um, why doesn't Sean have someone driving them in this gigantic snow machine? So awkward with poor Catherine sitting in the front row, directly behind him. They are missing out on cuddling time. Seriously though, I am so confused as to why they consumed so much fuel on a monster truck snow mobile bus when the economy is in the shiester and gas is a cool $4.25 right now?
Catherine claims she loves the rugged, handsome manliness about Sean. I don't see rugged at all. I see a man who is FOR SURE afraid of spiders. I bet he is the type who wouldn't kill one because they are one of God's creatures. Yuck. Actually, I see an Oompa Loompa whose skin is so sensitive that it turned Orange in the wind giving him that tan, albino glow. (Cue all Sean and Albino lovers to hate me forever right now.)
Catherine looks like she is going to watch the orchestra as she enters the evening portion of her date with Sean. Her knee length skirt and mother of four top isn't working for me, but it clearly is for Sean so I suppose at the end of the day, I just need to get over it. She is so freaking cute and I am dying to do wonders with her style.
Catherine has been a playful pup with Sean today what with the sledding and, um, uh, the sledding and all, but now it's time to open up to him. She has to open up and have something traumatic to say otherwise she is at risk for not getting the rose. Sean has obviously shown the women that he is attracted to people with super sad stories from the past.
One of the main reasons I like Catherine is because she is teaching Sean how to kiss. She is teaching him how to open his mouth a little without sticking out his baby turtle tongue.
Group Date: Tierra's lips turn about as blue as Sean's balls have been for years.
After a day of canoe riding in zero degree weather, an EMT is explaining to the girls that if they should get into trouble, the cute male lifeguard would be there to pull them out. At this point, the lifeguard is evilly glaring at these reality TV girls thinking, "Don't be dramatic. Don't be weak. Don't make me jump in this freezing cold water for you." Look out, because Tierra is already getting dramatic and we all know she is going to make a huge scene and most likely a splash. Needless to say, Sean has invited these girls to get naked and dive into ice. It's like, if he wants a girl to have perma high beams, he doesn't need to kill them! A single ice cube would have done just as well.
Why would Lindsey put her bare feet in the cold snow before it's actually necessary to do so?! Oh, and what in God's name is that huge tattoo on her foot? I'm getting a little irritated that some of the girls are acting overly excited about jumping into glacier water in nothing but a bikini in 0 degree weather after already being frozen from an obnoxiously long canoe ride. For those of you who don't know what 0 degrees feels like, it's indescribable. It literally takes your breath away and you actually aren't supposed to be in it for longer than a minute. Even fully clothed. I don't even know how they are changing their clothes, because, when it's this cold in Chicago, I can't even get enough strength or blood flow in my fingers to turn the key to start my engine. Swear.
I gotta say, I'm with Selma for not jumping in. I hate the whole "you only live once" line. It's very annoying. If I don't join the Canadian Polar Bear Club, I'm pretty sure my life will still feel fulfilled. Rather, I think, "I'm sitting in my comfy bed while reading a book, drinking wine and receiving a much forced back scratch from my boyfriend. YOLO."
Daniella ain't waitin' for nobody. LOL she literally sprinted off like, screw you bitches it's cold out here!
Tierra doesn't even seem as cold as the other girls at this point! Look at her running and giggling when Sarah looks like a Popsicle already!
Are you serious right now? Jeez. Of COURSE Tierra is being hauled off in hypothermia bags. I mean, yes, it's freezing and I'm shocked they all didn't need to be in those bags, but for real, out of all of them, her?!?!?! And after being covered up and hauled off to a warm car, she is putting her hands in the air and shaking them like crazy for extra dramatic effect. When you are cold, really freaking cold, you want your body parts all touching. She would be in a crunched ball. She wouldn't even be able to shake like that. PUhhhhhlease!!!!!
Then she has the nerve to say, "I missed time with him," as she is all comfy in blankets, sipping on a coffee. Like I said, when I have been severely cold, I couldn't move my hands enough to do anything, much less clench a coffee mug.
In other news, is Sean trying to get all these ladies sick? After riding in a canoe and being freezing, the ladies then each have to interview with the camera (this takes FOREVER), he then has them jump in freezing cold glacier water naked, then stand out side and do MORE interviews, then have them canoe back without heat lamps, warm showers or anything to warm up their core temperature before hand? It's not like they get to wait in warmth while the other girls are doing their interview. They had to just tough it out in the 0 degree weather somehow!
Tierra is now in a bathrobe and towel, eating what appears to be a Big Mac while the ironically good-looking lifeguard massages her feet. She looks ultra diva right now.
Oh Lord! Now she has on an oxygen mask, which was not on her face until she heard Sean coming up the stairs! She is laughing and telling Sean that she can't believe he is seeing her like this. She totally took a shower and re-did her makeup, so I don't know why she is acting like she is so haggard looking.
At the after party, Sean is pulled away by Sarah who shows him some super adorable photos of her and her family. She tells Sean that she hopes he can meet them one day. Sean then tells the audience that meeting a family is a big deal and that it's scary, yet he is the one who is already talking marriage stating nonstop and constantly pointing out that he is confident his wife is here. Ummmmm, am I missing something?!?!?! It's a hell of a lot scary to talk marriage on the first few dates vs. meeting one's family!
The girls are all sitting around at the after party, discussing their equally shared disgust for Tierra and her 3 personalities. Lesley even calls her out on getting a concussion from falling UP the stairs hahahaha!!!!!!! I didn't realize she fell UP the stairs! Jeeeez. She was more than fine! She has now snuck into the party after walking in heels, completely normal when Sean wasn't around her. Now that Sean sees her, she is limping.
Sean and Sarah: Jerk Alert
WHOA! I did not see that coming! What the hell is the matter with you, Sean?! It's way more humiliating to send Sarah home singled out this way vs. at a rose ceremony. She could have had a couple more days of fun with the girls. So ridiculous to pull her away from the rest of the girls and dump her. I am so sad for her. That was really low of him.
Sean and Desiree:
Sean and Desiree have a fun day of repelling down a cliff and climbing trees. Sean decides to take her to dinner in a teepee to see if she can handle it. Joke is on this rich, pretty boy when she looks at him and says, "Of course I can handle it. I grew up in a tent. You A-Hole." Anyway, there was really nothing fun about this date because they are too normal and probably belong together.
Rose Ceremony: Breaking Bad
The Good:
Lindsey's white cocktail dress is light and cute. The neckline is flattering and the ruffles add depth and detail. It's hard to pull off white, but she definitely did so.
I love a man in a three-piece suit. If I imagine a different head on Sean's body, I would be obsessed.
Desiree always has on a classy, simple dress. Her style and demeanor remind me of Jackie Gordon from Brad Womack's 2nd season. There is something about her that screams class, money, beauty and brains. So insane to think she grew up in a tent and trailer parks. You would never have known!
The Bad:
Selma's dress is very unflattering. The puffed sleeves and cut of the dress would look better on someone taller. She is going to be in a world load of pain when she gets home after receiving spankings from her Mommy and Daddy for dry humping on national television. I bet she is STILL grounded.
AshLee's hair, makeup and jewelry are stunning tonight, but this dress isn't doing it for me. Maybe it looks better in person, but she looks like she is in a wet suit. She could wear this to her next polar plunge.
Tierra's dress is frumpy and tacky. The fur scarf has potential, but NOT paired up with this dress. Plus, she is showing off her legs in an unflattering way. Luck for this damsel in a dress, she gets one more week to prove herself to Sean. Not that it will take much, because for some reason he is infatuated with her.
Catherine looks like she is in a nightgown, but then again, isn't great at picking out evening attire. She is, however, great at choosing every day casual wear. I'm not sure how I feel about Lesley's dress. I'm 50/50 with it.
This has been a crazy couple of episodes that I have enjoyed big time. If Tierra wasn't on this season, it wouldn't be very much fun to watch.
My top three favorites at this point in the game (Not for Sean, but for me to be friends with. I'm selfish. Screw off.) are:

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department on Tuesday accused agents of the Iranian government of being involved in a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States, with help from a purported member of a Mexican drug cartel.
"The United States is committed to hold Iran accountable for its actions," Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters during an afternoon news conference.
Ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir has served as Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States since 2007, according to the embassy's website.
Two people, including a member of Iran's special operations unit known as the Quds Force, were charged in New York federal court. Holder said the bomb plot was a flagrant violation of U.S. and international law.
"We will not let other countries use our soil as their battleground," Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said at a press conference in Washington with Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller.
Read the criminal complaint
Manssor Arbabsiar, a 56-year-old U.S. citizen who also holds an Iranian passport, was charged along with Gholam Shakuri, whom authorities said was a Quds Force member.
FBI Director Robert Mueller says many lives could have been lost in the plot to kill the ambassador with bombs in the U.S.
Holder said the U.S. government would be taking unspecified action against the Iranian government as early as Tuesday afternoon. Asked whether the plot was blessed by the top echelons of the Iranian government, Holder said the Justice Department was not making that accusation.
Arbabsiar unknowingly hired an informant from the Drug Enforcement Administration to carry out the plot, prosecutors said. Posing as a member of a Mexican drug cartel, the informant met with Arbabsiar several times in Mexico, authorities said. The price tag was $1.5 million and Arabsiar made a $100,000 down payment.
Bharara said no explosives were actually placed, and no one was in any danger.
Shakuri remains at large. Arbabsiar was arrested Sept. 29 at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. He was scheduled to appear in federal court Tuesday. Prosecutors said he faces up to life in prison if convicted.
Prosecutors said Arbabsiar has confessed to his participation in the murder plot.
President Obama was first briefed on the plot in June, said White House spokesman Tommy Vietor.
"The disruption of this plot is a significant achievement by our intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and the president is enormously grateful for their exceptional work in this instance and countless others," Vietor said.
