Now that Valentine's Day is over, you might be wondering what to do with those bouquets of roses you might have received from a loved one. 🙂 Today I have a few ideas of how to use dried roses to create pretty art for your home.
I am a pretty sentimental gal myself, and awhile back I mentioned that I've kept and saved a basket full of roses my husband has given me throughout our relationship (we met when we were 14!). After MANY years of collecting and saving the roses I finally used some of them to make a Rose Heart Shadow Box a few years ago that I still love displaying to this day!
More recently I decided to use a different technique to use dried roses in my home decor—instead of using whole dried roses, I crushed the rose petals. My mom made me something similar to this years ago using flowers from my wedding bouquet, so I was eager to try it myself. It really is a pretty simple (and a bit messy) project, but ends up being a wonderful and meaningful piece of art! I decided to use my
ancient vintage roses to make a monogram on canvas.
Supplies to make crushed roses monogram/art:
- dried roses or other dried flower petals
- blank canvas (or cardstock + frame)
- paint
- foam craft brushes
- glue (I used Elmer's glue)
- pencil
- ziplock baggie
- small bowl
First off, this is how I dry my roses—hang them upside down. This helps to keep their shape better as they dry, which would be important if you wanted to make the shadow box project I linked to at the top of this post. 🙂
Let's get started! Pick several dried roses from your stash. They don't have to be in good shape because you're just going to smush them anyway. 🙂
Place roses in a baggie and start to smash the petals, squeezing and crushing them into small pieces. You could use a rolling pin which might help if they are extra crispy and crunchy!
I poured mine into a small bowl and used the bottom of a medicine cup to make the petals even smaller. If you had one of those mortar & pestil thingies you could really pulverize them. But I'm not that fancy so I used what I had.
I didn't crush mine to powder, just into small enough pieces to provide variety and texture, almost like big flecks of glitter or something. You can crush them as much as you want.
I painted the blank canvas using some acrylic paint in my favorite color I was sent by the kind people at DecoArt to try out: Spa Blue. YUM.
Once dry I took a pencil and sketched out the monogram.
Then I traced the outline with Elmer's Glue and used a foam craft brush to fill in the letter more.
Next I covered the glue with the crushed rose petals—the same way you would do with glitter. Make sure all of the glue is covered, then carefully shake off the excess petals back into the bowl or onto a paper towel to use for other projects. It really doesn't have to be perfect. You can kind of clean it up and use your fingers to push the petals into place and make sure the shape is the way you want it to be, adding more petals if there are any gaps.
Voila, a fun monogram using my special saved roses! 🙂 It comes together pretty quickly. To protect this art it would probably be a good idea to seal it with a matte spray sealant.
Such great texture!
I also made another easy project using a design I made in Photoshop (me and hubby's initials, awwww!), printed on photo paper. So instead of drawing a heart I just added my glue to the heart I printed out. Following the same steps as above, this is how it turned out!
I framed it in an awesome bracket frame that I painted and glazed from Poppy Seed Projects, and I'm happy with how it turned out!
Oh, and here's a small one I whipped up that would make a cute Valentine's Day decor for next year. 🙂 I've been crushing roses like crazy the past few days, ha ha!
You can completely personalize this and use any shape you want for the crushed rose petals. For another project I used roses that my sweet husband gave our daughters for their Christmas dance recital. I made some fun framed art to hang in their bedroom. I traced a butterfly shape this time around onto some patterned paper, then matted it with white cardstock. 🙂 The girls love it!
So have fun and save those roses to make beautiful art later! It's okay to be sentimental, right? 🙂

This is so funny, I wish I could send a photo to show you my shadow box from years ago!
I had received close to 400 roses from my now husband when he was dating me and into our engagement. I had no idea what to do with all the roses and had never seen any good ideas to do with old dusty bouquets…..(because I too am sentimental and wanted to hold on to them) 😉 hehe
So about 9 years ago I decided to place them in a cool design inside super duper large shadow box.
I was just looking at it the other day and thought to myself I was pretty tired of the shadowbox and I probably should just bite the bullet and throw the roses away…..but lo-and-behold….I stumbled upon this great idea! =) now I can still have my roses….just in a different form. =)
I also thought it was funny to see someone else had thought of the same thing to do with old meaningful roses in a shadowbox! I know that nothing is new under the sun but I thought I was pretty original on my idea….guess not =) {wink} {wink}

Ahhh this are fabulous ideas. I am a bit sentimental as well, and we aren't even married yet (2 more months…) and I keep wondering what I'll do with all of them! NOW i don't havce to have nervous breakdowns when petals fall off. I can crush them purposefully! THANK YOU!
Augustine Says: March 29, 2012 at 11:59 pm
I have roses that we got in our honeymoon suite… They were all over our bed… Been wanting something to do with them and also wanted our initials to hang… Awesome idea thanks…

I just made these w/ the rose petals from my wedding bouquet 🙂 We got married in August!
Did you spray anything on top of the rose petals to prevent them from falls off or decoloring?

Mets bump Mejia to bullpen, will bring up Montero
NEW YORK (AP) — So much for easing in the new kid.
Rafael Montero was handed quite an assignment by the New York Mets for his major league debut: a Subway Series start against the crosstown rival Yankees.
The Mets bumped Jenrry Mejia to the bullpen Monday, a move he was reluctant to make, and said Montero will be called up to pitch in the right-hander's place Wednesday night at Citi Field.
"We understand that it's a debut on a big stage," general manager Sandy Alderson said. "We think he's ready now."
One of several touted arms in the Mets' farm system, the 23-year-old Montero is 4-1 with a 3.67 ERA and 41 strikeouts in 41 2-3 innings at Triple-A Las Vegas. He tossed 5 1-3 hitless innings Friday night in a win over Salt Lake and was pulled after 98 pitches.
Next up, Derek Jeter and the Bronx Bombers.
"We think from a mental standpoint, he's well able to handle it," Alderson said. "The basic question that we ask ourselves is, what gives us the best chance to win?"
Montero is 9-5 with a 3.25 ERA in 24 Pacific Coast League starts over the past two years. Alderson said it's possible prospects can get "stale" lingering in Triple-A, so it's time for a new challenge.
The 24-year-old Mejia got off to an excellent start this season, but had struggled to pitch deep into games lately. He went 3-0 with a 5.06 ERA in seven starts and had repeatedly expressed his preference to be in the rotation, citing injury concerns.
After having two operations on his right elbow, including Tommy John surgery in 2011, Mejia said last weekend he doesn't want to get hurt again and he's not sure how well he'll be able to get loose quickly in the bullpen.
Alderson, however, said the Mets need help in their struggling 'pen and he thinks Mejia is "committed to the challenge at this point" after a chat with manager Terry Collins.
"At some point, his wishes and our needs have to be reconciled," Alderson said.
Mejia entered in the seventh inning Monday night against the Yankees for his first major league relief appearance since September 2012. He struck out two in 1 1-3 scoreless innings to earn the win in a 9-7 victory.
Mejia sure seemed to relish the role. The fired-up righty pumped his fist after a double play and then backed his way off the mound following a called third strike that ended the eighth.
"It feels pretty good. I've got to enjoy it," a smiling Mejia said. "If they need me in the bullpen, I've got to be there because I never play for myself."
After the game, the Mets recalled right-hander Jacob deGrom from Las Vegas and placed reliever Gonzalez Germen on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 6, with a stomach virus.
A starter in the minors, deGrom also will go into the big league bullpen. The Mets held him out of his scheduled start Monday night for Las Vegas and put him on "standby" for a call-up. He is 4-0 with a 2.58 ERA in seven starts for the 51s.
New York relievers began the day 6-8 with a 3.99 ERA, which ranked 20th in the majors. The bullpen had blown eight of 14 save chances and been saddled with five losses already this month, tied for most in the majors.
A big part of the problem has been uncertainty in the ninth inning since closer Bobby Parnell went down with a season-ending elbow injury after blowing a save on opening day. Collins has tried veterans Jose Valverde and Kyle Farnsworth in the role, but neither has been very effective.

Alew fersqey Pioeers i 'eras
T WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANGE indeed if the Burrowes and
Wallings of Monmouth County, New Jersey, had not been
caught in the tide of western migration in the decade of the
185o's. Then gold in California stirred thousands of Americans;
and scarcely less appealing were the fertile prairies of Iowa and
Kansas, then being linked by rail to the Mississippi River, and the
rich lands and cattle country of Texas.
If further inducements were needed, they might have been
found in the circumstances immediately surrounding these fam-
ilies. They were farmers: the Richard C. Burrowes homestead
was just outside the village of Middletown and the Walling farm
a few miles distant at Leonardville. Both families were large, and
as the older boys matured they looked to Keyport, then a budding
maritime center on the lower Bay of New York, for opportunities
in business. Keyport, in turn, was a few hours sailing time from
the bustling wharves of New York, where steamships sailed to the
Isthmus of Panama and the gold fields, and where the Hudson
River line and the newly consolidated New York Central Railroad
offered direct transportation to Buffalo, and via the Lakes, to
Milwaukee and Chicago. In a decade's span two Burrowes,
Thomas and Joseph, set out for California; three Wallings,
George, John and William Henry, and two Burrowes, Jack and
Edward, migrated to the frontier in Texas.
The Texas phase of this New Jersey emigration began in 1853
when George and John Walling, sons of Richard and Deborah
Burrowes Walling, set out for Galveston. They settled on Onion
Creek in Hays County, about fifteen miles south of Austin.
Two years later Jack (John Taylor) Burrowes, set his course
westward. Oldest of the five children of Richard C. and Mary
Taylor Burrowes, Jack had gone into business in Keyport. De-
tails are meager, but one enterprise was an oystering vessel in part-
nership with a Captain Mills. Possessing an outgoing personality

Two hurt in Clarendon pileupFebruary 07,2013Two drivers sustained minor injuries in a three-vehicle crash on Route 7 in Clarendon, according to Vermont State Police.
The crash, which took place at the intersection of North Shrewsbury Road and Route 7 at about 9:10 p.m. Tuesday, occurred when the driver of a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee failed to yield at a flashing red light signal, police said.
The Jeep, driven by 17-year-old Edward Montgomery of West Rutland, collided with a 2009 Honda Civic driven by David Graham, 46, of Clarendon and a 1999 Chevrolet truck driven by Jerry Gorton, 48, of Brandon.
Police say all three drivers were wearing their seat belts and Gorton was uninjured in the crash.

This is just a great cosplay..I also think the shot is extremely cool///
You are my Hero! I am a big fan of Metroid's Samus Aran! The Zero Suit brings all her fine curves out! Well done!
Pretty Lovely
stunning shot this goes directly to my tumblr :3
very cool
This is awesome. I just love it.
Outstanding shot! Well done indeed!
It's an amazing pose - nice capture of the water, but two of the fingers blend into the suit, so at first glance it looks like the European two-fingered salute. There's also something almost too perfect about the face (a combination of make-up and the hair?), giving it a slightly synthetic, Poser-like look.
Studio lighting is almost always makes the skin slightly sinthetits, and the photographer photo edition style such, but it well in this case, since photoshoot was replic Samus Aran Figurines
Excellent job!!
This is amazing! Perfectly executed!

The big story from the Major League Baseball All-Star Game on Tuesday night was the controversy surrounding St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright and the New York Yankees' Derek Jeter.
While being interviewed during the game, Wainwright, basically, said that he pitched a softball to Jeter out of respect, since he's retiring and this is his last All-Star Game.
That caused everyone to freak out, since the winner of the All-Star Game determines home-field advantage for the World Series.
Erin Andrews, of Fox Sports, interviewed Wainwright later in the game. He clarified, basically saying: "I was kidding."

Fixed PriceDelivery by September 7, 2014
We are looking for someone with the ability to take the 2 images attached to this contract and have them transition from one to another.
Image1 is the angel image with the dog
Image2 is the logo for the website.
The way we see it working is it starts with image one, then the dog head slowly rotates and enlarges to the size of the logo of image2. While this occurs the angel will fade out and the words will fade in.
We would like to have it work both ways, transitioning from image1 into image2 and also backwards from image2 into image1.
I am going to set a budget but there might be some flexibility depending on quality of work and time frame.
Please provide examples of work you have done for review.

Knowledge-Based Sythesis of Distributed Systems Using Event Structures
Permanent Linkhttp://hdl.handle.net/1813/5639

Bickford, Mark; Constable, Robert C.; Halpern, Joseph Y.; Petride, Sabina
To produce a program guaranteed to satisfy a given specification one can synthesize it from a formal constructive proof that a computation satisfying that specification exists. This process is particularly effective if the specifications are written in a high-level language that makes it easy for designers to specify their goals. We consider a high-level specification language that results from adding knowledge to a fragment of Nuprl specifically tailored for specifying distributed protocols, called event theory. We then show how high-level knowledge-based programs can be synthesized from the knowledge-based specifications using a proof development system such as Nuprl. Methods of Halpern and Zuck [1992] then apply to convert these knowledge-based protocols to ordinary protocols. These methods can be expressed as heuristic transformation tactics in Nuprl.

Heartfelt Advice, Hefty Fees
By MELODY PETERSEN
Published: August 11, 2002
IN a rare interview, Lauren Bacall appeared on the NBC ''Today'' program in March, telling Matt Lauer about a good friend who had gone blind from an eye disease and urging the audience to see their doctors to be tested for it.
''It's just -- it's frightening because it -- it can happen very suddenly,'' she said. Ms. Bacall then mentioned a drug called Visudyne, a new treatment for the disease known as macular degeneration.
She never revealed that she was being paid to tell the story, and neither did the network, NBC.
''We compensated her for her time,'' said Dr. Yvonne Johnson, medical affairs director for the ophthalmics division of Novartis, the Swiss drug maker that sells Visudyne. Novartis chose Ms. Bacall for its marketing campaign, Dr. Johnson said, because she appeals to many people over 50, the primary market for the drug.
''We realized people would accept what she was telling them,'' said Dr. Johnson, who declined to say how much Ms. Bacall had been paid. ''Our whole intent is to let people know they don't have to go blind.''
The pharmaceutical industry is going Hollywood -- and getting a warm embrace.
In the last year or so, dozens of celebrities, from Ms. Bacall to Kathleen Turner to Rob Lowe, have been paid hefty fees to appear on television talk shows and morning news programs and to disclose intimate details of ailments that afflict them or people close to them. Often, they mention brand-name drugs without disclosing their financial ties to the medicine's maker.
And even when drug companies say they pay nothing, Hollywood producers have given their brand-name prescription drug products starring roles on prime-time television programs.
Last winter, for example, an episode of ''Law & Order'' on NBC revolved around Gleevec, a cancer drug sold by Novartis. On ''West Wing,'' also on NBC, President Bartlet, played by Martin Sheen, suffers from multiple sclerosis and takes Betaseron, a drug made by Berlex Laboratories. Both companies say they did not pay for those prominent placements.
In the last few years, in their quest to wring more profit out of their drugs before the patents expire, pharmaceutical companies have poured billions of dollars into marketing their products -- fielding armies of sales representatives, entertaining doctors, nurses and pharmacists, and taking their pitches directly to consumers in glitzy television commercials and glossy magazine ads. Now, despite criticism that those tactics raise the price of drugs, some companies are also trying these more subtle sales pitches.
Consumer product companies like Coca-Cola and BMW have been using celebrity endorsers and placing their products in film and television scripts for decades. But doing so with prescription drugs raises a host of issues, experts say -- especially when celebrities fail to disclose their financial links to the companies.
''It is highly problematic and maybe even unethical,'' said Dr. Joseph Turow, a professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.
''We admire these people and that is why drug companies pay for their time and services,'' Dr. Turow said. ''But when it comes to issues of health, particularly medicines, transparency is an ethical concern. People should be clear about the reasons they are making certain recommendations.''
Allison Gollust, a spokeswoman for the ''Today'' program, said NBC may have made a mistake in handling the interview. At the time of Ms. Bacall's interview, NBC executives did not consider her comments about Visudyne to be a problem, she said.
''In hindsight, and with more information about celebrities and their connection to drug companies, we may have handled that differently,'' Ms. Gollust said.
Terry Barnett, president of Novartis's operations in the United States, said the company did not intend for Ms. Bacall to promote Visadyne. But he said in the future, even if a celebrity is talking only about a disease, the company will be more careful at making sure the audience knows the star is working on the company's behalf. ''I think we would look at that more closely in the future,'' Mr. Barnett said.
None of the drug companies would disclose how much they have paid stars for these services. But the case of Larry King provides an indication. After Mr. King talked publicly about his heart disease in a public awareness campaign, the company that put together that effort convinced the Guidant Corporation, which makes stents, to contribute medical equipment valued at $1 million to Mr. King's charitable foundation, which helps poor people.
DRUG companies have also wielded the might they gain from their spending on consumer ads, which came to $2.7 billion last year alone, to stop scripts that might put a brand-name medicine in an unfavorable light. In December 2000, USA Network canceled the production of a television film called ''Who Killed Sue Snow?'' -- a film about the deaths of two Seattle-area residents who took cyanide-laced pain relievers -- after complaints from Johnson & Johnson, a major advertiser and the maker of Tylenol. (Tylenol, of course, weathered just such an incident in 1982.)

Thousands of people weighed in on this year's wolf hunt proposal. Commissioners tell us many of those had to do with the proposed quota of seven wolves in the area outside of Yellowstone National Park.
"Insignificant from a population management perspective but, again, I think it could have some impact in terms of the wildlife viewing industry," says FWP's newest commissioner, Gary Wolfe.
Wolfe makes a final push for a quota of three wolves in one of the management areas outside of Yellowstone National Park. Another commissioner seconded his motion but, in the end, the regulations passed as originally proposed.
Some folks praised the commission for making few changes to trapping and expanding the bag limit to five wolves per person in most units.
"Hunting and trapping...don't take those tools out of the wildlife manager's tool box," says the Montana Trappers Association's Paul Fielder.
Yet, many of the folks who weighed in say they were outraged commissioners would fail to provide a buffer zone around Yellowstone National Park.
"We're not taking a look at Yellowstone National Park. You're not looking at the viability that Yellowstone National Park brings to the state of Montana," says Wolves of the Rockies' Kim Bean.
Others worry the hunt lasts too long, saying rifle season should end before wolves' gestation period.
"I just feel that wolf management has become wolf slaughter," says Bozeman resident Gail Richardson.
After over a dozen said their piece, commissioners went ahead with the proposal. They told attendees they trust their biologists and the science behind their numbers.
Commissioners told folks they would have an opportunity to review the regulations at their December meeting. FWP biologists say if 450 wolves are harvested, which they explain is unlikely, there is still expected to be a population of over 300 wolves. 450 wolves would be double last year's harvest.

HEAD-DIRECT RE0 In-ear Headphones
" I'm not great at writing reviews, but I'm bored right now and I thought I'd take the time to "honor" the RE0's. I've bought/sold/heard many IEM's in the past, stuff like: IE8, W3, PFE, SE530, TF10, X10 etc. Before the RE0's went on that $99 sale, I came to the conclusion that the W3's were the IEM's for me, X10 and SE530 came in a close second, but anyway, my point is, I was quite satisfied..." --koven

"Every car I see, I think 'is this it?' Heartbreaking last Facebook post by teenage girl killed in Beirut bomb
- Jawhari was 18 years old. (Image courtesy of The Daily Star)1 of 2
- The last Facebook post made by Maria, foretelling her death on Tuesday. (Photo courtesy of The Daily Star)2 of 2
18 year old Maria al-Jawhari foretold her own death after writing on her Facebook page that she had barely escaped three Beirut-based bombings and that she didn't know if she would "survive the fourth," reported The Daily Star on Wednesday.
The Lebanese teen was killed in the bombings on Tuesday when she was working at a shoe store.
Jawhari died on the same street that was struck by an earlier bombing on Jan. 2, at almost exactly the same place.
"She was very lighthearted, it was a pleasure to sit with her ... She treated everyone equally, old, young – she treated me like a friend, not an auntie," said a family friend of Jawhari.
"She worked in the store but she had dreams, like any girl her age. She dreamed of having a life, a future, of living in security," she added.
With a recent surge in bombings in Lebanon, many empthaize with the vulnerability the teenager expressed on her social media page.
One woman, who would not give her name, says she thinks about leaving the southern suburbs "every day."
"Every time I walk down the street, every car I see, I think 'is this it?'" she says, adding hopefully that over time Hezbollah supporters will become tired of paying the consequences for the party's actions.
Residents near the site of the bombing insist there were no military or Hezbollah-affiliated targets on the street.
Tuesday's suicide attack occurred in Beirut's southern suburb of Haret Hreik, an area of Hezbollah support, killing at least four people and injuring another 31.
The Lebanon branch of the Nusra Front claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack, vowing to continue to strike Hezbollah over its role in the Syrian war.
The other fatalities included Ahmad al-Obeidi, Ali Ibrahim Bashir, and Khodr Srour.
Social media flooded with pictures of Bashir, who also died at the young age of 20. Obeidi died while driving with his son, who was injured by the blast but survived.

Josefina has successfully repaid a previous loan from ASHI and she received a 100% credit rating. This previous loan was used to purchase livestock feed and other supplies.
Josefina is requesting a new loan of 44,000 PHP which will be used to purchase livestock feed and additional piglets so she can earn more revenue. This will be the tenth loan taken out by Josefina from ASHI. She plans to use the additional revenue generated from the business to improve and expand her business. This will allow Josefina to grow her hog raising business further so that her four children can fulfill their dreams of managing their own business someday. Josefina wants to give her family a decent life.
Josefina's long term goal is to continue to build her secondary fishing business. She wants to purchase additional raw materials for her fishing business so she can expand it. This will allow her to sell more fish in the local community and in the surrounding neighborhoods. She also hopes to have successful pig farm someday.

They already did today, Facebook has already launched Facebook place, now definitely a good competion with foursquare.
Check this out : http://www.buzzingup.com/2010/08/facebook-launches-its-geo-location-feature-called-facebook-places-live/
Apr 1 Posted 6 years ago I have just recently begun using Foursquare and love it. It is now one of the first things I do when I visit a local restaurant or venue. It's great advertising for the business and just lots of fun for me and my online community.
I use Facebook religiously also, and will be interested to see what they come up with as far as location-based capabilities.
Mar 28 Posted 6 years ago I think the other truth is that Fsq and similar - limited lo-so apps probably won't grow much more than they are without serious enhancement. The people that are passionate about "checking in" are limited. But the people who simply want to "update their status" and "share interesting things" (i.e. Facebook) is massive and mainstream.
I have used and worked with (as a marketer) Fsq and GoWalla and I am SUPER excited to see what Facebook is going to do.
That all being said though, they all have their own distinct markets and it is WAY too early in the game for anyone to forecast the demise of one because of actions by another.
Mar 28 Posted 6 years ago I would have to agree with you solely based on my own interaction with Foursquare and Facebook, the bottom line is that I never use my Facebook phone app, seriously... Like once a month at best, I Foursquare multiple times daily, Facebook can add it but I will still be doing the Foursquare thing.
Mar 27 Posted 6 years ago Nice article :)
The last mile of social media is local. Apple just filed a patent for a mobile location based social networking application. While all things social enable global reach commerce is local, relationships are local and if we can add productivity to local relations we all win.
The IPad will revolutionize advertising with relevance. Local "connectivity" will add relevance to relationship building. Local shopping with digital coupons and incentives based on user behavior and preferences will add tremendous value.
Facebook, Google, MSN and the small ones currently available and yet to be seen will add the "local" innovation that actualizes "networks" to be more than Mafia wars or virtual games. Just my humble opinion but what do I know.

Wow, this looks amazing, I can't wait to play this!
I have a question though - when it becomes available to download, will you also make a Readme available which lists all the Digimon's Base Stats and locations?
And what do you have planned in place of Legendary Pokemon? Perhaps the Digimon Sovereigns, or maybe the Royal Knights?

Rock Revival Penny Boot Stretch Jean is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lexie from Perfect fit These fit me best out of all my jeans. They're thicker and more firm than most jeans, yet are extremely comfortable. A year later and the color still appears rich, and it doesn't seem to have stretched out at all. The model in this picture truly does not do these jeans any justice whatsoever. The pockets give your backside a great shape and adds an illusion of volume. These just overall flatter your figure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mandyrocks from I LOVE THESE JEANS TOOOO CUTE I bought these online wonder if they would fit and if I purchased the right pair of jeans between the few Rock Revival Jeans I had in my cart! I chose these and they are adorable, the stitching is white and tan and very stand outish and the pockets are super cute! This picture does not do these jeans justice! The jean wash makes you look super skinny and the accents are more defined then a pair of True Religion jeans! I have a few pairs of Rock Revival at home so I went with a 30/32! I have been loosing weight so maybe I should have went with a 29/32! They fit fine just could be tad bit tighter, so I ll wash and dry them to make them fit! I am 5'7 145lbs if that helps with a butt hahah If you like Rock Revival Jeans cause the fit is the best you need to add these to your closet, you will not be disappointed! Honestly I never review items cause I am some what lazy, but I read them so I decided to comment on these cause if you are a jean person these are defiantely for you! LOVE EM

Do I need a climate controlled storage unit in Alpine?
The forecast high for Alpine is 86 degrees today. The record high for today in Alpine is 100 degrees. High temperatures and humidity can cause mold and mildew to thrive. If you're considering storing items that are susceptible to mold and mildew during this period, consider renting a climate controlled storage unit.
Does Alpine student population affect self-storage prices?
Colleges and universities located in or nearby Alpine include Sul Ross State University. College students often need storage during summer and winter breaks and can drive prices up during these seasons.

Sony T20 is good however it has that to know that she is compact and everything that is compact it loses a little of quality, if you who a quality camera looks a series W of the Sony, however if you it will be as I that prefers to designer then am with a T20 camera that is good and pretty.

1993 Saturn SL2 (2 Reviews)
excellent car,I have put 101,000 miles on since buying it in 1993. I have been able to do all needed repairs with out ever having to take it back to a dealer.I am very disappointed that GM dropped this car,I would have bought a new one if the interior and horsepower were upgraded.
I love my Saturn from the day I bought it. Purchased in 1993 and it only has 60, 000 miles on it. I've had no problems until yesterday. The trip guage started to run continuously, driving my mileage up. I drove 45 miles and my mileage registered 147 miles. What could be wrong with this. My low mileage is the value in this car.

Course evaluations are oftentimes not taken seriously by students, and are filled out with little effort or attention. This is a major problem, because students' casual approach to evaluations prevents colleges from getting the information they need to improve courses and teaching styles.
Outline two ways colleges could incentivize their students to really put effort into filling out course evaluations. In 2-4 paragraphs, explain how these ideas would be implemented, and why they would motivate students to take course evaluations more seriously.
Criteria: The solutions that are either the most creative or the most feasible will be rewarded

I know about Road ID, but what are the alternatives you have found if there is an incident or accident?
I know about Road ID, but what are the alternatives you have found if there is an incident or accident?
Endevr MyID has a line of all interactive bracelets- uses QR codes. Or you could just go to your nearest pet store and have a "real" dog tag made.
I just carry my wallet with me and usually my cell phone. Don't bother with Road ID.
My greatest fear is all of my kids standing around my coffin and talking about "how sensible" dad was.
RoadID came in handy when my bicycle crash resulted in a trip to the emergency room. Never bothered with something else.
I needed new pet tags and road ID after moving. So I got a dog tag style with rubber edging to replace my road ID from Dog Tags, Pet ID Tags, and Cat ID Tags from Love Your Pets
I have it on a carabiner that I have on or in my pannier, or on my seat post.
All in with shipping less than $12 for a dog tag, two cat tags and a rubber edge with first class mail. ($4.50 for dog tag and edging without shipping).
After almost 10 months the tag is in great condition, the rubber is a bit worn on the edges from rubbing on other keys.
Anyway I did have Road ID on my wrist - I learned the dog tag you place on shoes likely will be ignored. It saved me going to the "inner city" hospital and I was taken to the "nice" hospital because my Road ID showed verification of "good" insurance. It's not alot of money - get it in a bright color and wear it on your wrist.

At least i do not have to worry about good or bad hospitals.
I wholly agree they are more likely to check for wrist or neck medi-alerts. And I realize everything is put aside for your health. I have no medical issues, so I do not care as long as i get treatment when i need it. But I also know if they do not know me they (police/responders/bystanders) will search my possessions to figure out who I am later.
I have posted about this subject before in reference to what and where you should carry emergency medical information in the event of a serious injury. I worked for 25 years as a Paramedic for one of the busiest EMS systems in the country. I can't count the number of bicycle vs auto crashes that I have responded to in all those years. You can take what I have to say seriously or with a grain of salt - your choice.
1) If you are seriously injured and unresponsive, the primary goal of a first responder is to immobilize you and get you to a trauma center or the closest hospital ER. PERIOD! They will not spend time on scene looking for a wallet for ID and/or medical information. In most cases they will cut off your jersey and pants to check for hidden injuries and will leave them on the scene. Wallets in jersey pockets normally are left behind. Wallets in fanny packs and saddle bags are always left behind.
2) Identification of non-responsive trauma patients usually doesn't happen until the law enforcement agency investigating the crash brings that information to the hospital, if it's found. This could take from one to several hours after the crash. If you can't respond to the ER physicians and nurses, you may end up getting medication that you are allergic to or other treatment that may be detrimental because of your medical history.
3) If you are responsive but can't remember all of your medications and their dosages because the paper you have it written on is in your wallet that's in your saddle bag at the scene, similar consequences to #2 can happen with drug interactions or surgical procedures.
My suggestion is to have some form of ID on your body with contact information. It doesn't have to be a RoadID, specifically, but some kind of bracelet or dog tag style with your name and contact information, at minimal. This is what I do, but you are welcome to do whatever is more comfortable for you to do.
1) I have a RoadID on every ride I take and often wear it when I travel.
2) The information on the RoadID is my name, DOB, two emergency contact numbers (wife and daughter) and "Medical Info in iPhone." I have my iPhone on every ride because I use a cycling app so it will always be on scene and since they now know the information is in the phone, they will take the phone with them.
3) I have the inactive screen wallpaper set to an image created from the RoadID app with a line that reads, "See JVPMHx in Notes App" on one of the lines. This lets them know where the personal and medical information is located so both first responders and ER staff has access to it.
4) The information in the Notes app has all my personal information, insurance information and medical information including all of my doctors and links to their phone numbers that are stored in my contacts app.
This about sums it up. What you want to do is up to you but please think about what I posted as it could make a huge difference in the final outcome.

I don't. I do have insurance and contact info in my cycling wallet and on my phone, and I have my ICE number written inside my helmet... seems good enough for my case.
John V - I appreciate the advice which I take to heart since I've been there, done that and learned many valuable lessons. I travel with my Road ID - it contains my name, City/State I live in; emg. contact and my insurance information (Group Plan and Member ID). In my case I was about equal distance from a high quality hospital (I would have chosen if able) and the place everyone is taken to regardless of insurance. Thankfully the medics noticed my ID and saw the insurance information, ambulance confirmed with the good hospital and I was taken there... but regardless the information is really more for when you reach the hospital than anything else. I got there without a jersey and bra (!), no helmet, gloves or shoes... alll removed and left at the scene along with my Camelbak (almost brand new Sidi's - gloves were old but the shoes darn it were new and not there when I finally returned). My friend left the gloves and shoes but did pick up the Camelbak and helmet (he was on bike so couldn't carry much) and met me at the hospital. I am grateful I was wearing a helmet and I am grateful I had my ID.
I hope never to go through that again but hopefully am prepared as one never knows...

As an EMT on an ALS ambulance crew for 12 years, my night-time job, and a ski patroller for 32 years, I can tell you the first places I looked for medical and emergency information is a chain around the neck or a bracelet.
If your wallet is obvious, not stowed in panniers,backpack or handlebar bag; it may be looked at. Unfortunately you may not have important information like: allergies, medications (warfarin), blood type, organ donor info, or emergency contacts in you wallet. I know I don't have the information in my wallet, and don't usually carry my wallet unless riding to the store or on a tour. I also wear mine at the gym, even if my wallet is in a locker.
I've only been on 8 serious bicycle accidents and 5 motorcycle accidents, and can honestly say I've never looked inside a helmet for info. When you store your info in a cell phone, you are making an assumption that the cell phone will be with you, visible, and functioning. That is not always the case. Most of the time, first responders are not going to take the time to figure out someone's phone even if they find it and it is still functioning.
I am still wearing my Road ID from this morning's ride. I don't leave home on my bike without it. We bought Road IDs as gifts for all or kids, and they actually wear them. They are pretty cheap insurance.

My RoadID is a bracelet style that I put on at all times before leaving my house...PERIOD! Shoe type can very easily be lost when the shoe is knocked off during a crash or being hit by a car.
A few weeks ago the passenger sitting next to me on my flight from El Paso asked if I had a medical issue after seeing the RoadID bracelet.
I wear a cheap dog tag on a chain around my neck 24/7. I have no significant medical issues so all I need fits on the tag: Name, address, ICE wife name and cell number.
RANS V3 - Ti, RANS V-Rex - cromo, RANS Screamer - cromo
For those that have information in their helmets, I can assure you that the first thing that gets cut off of you and tossed to the side of the road is your helmet. It's done to insure quick spinal immobilization. Since my phone is on my handlebar and easily removable, it would be nothing for them to take it off the bike and to the hospital if they know it's there. I don't keep any sensitive information on my phone that I need to worry about someone seeing it.
If you are alert and oriented after a crash, these ID devices aren't really necessary because you can tell them what they need to know. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee they you'll be alert and oriented on each crash you may have in the future. At least they can pull up old records if you've been there before by having your name and DOB if you are unable to give it to them.

This is one of those cyclical subjects that seem to come up every so often. Most of the time, as in this thread, the emphasis is on injury. But, a person is much more likely to need ID for other purposes. Most of those need a picture ID. An example is being stopped by law enforcement for any variety of reasons. A government issued picture ID gets you on your way quickly. No government ID can get you delayed until positive ID is made.
So, I carry a genuine military dog tag around my neck. It has everything but a picture on it. I usually also carry a State ID card. Not all states allow both Drivers License and ID, mine does, so I carry the ID.
Comment about how much search of belongings goes on after an accident. My experience is that is very much geographic area specific. In my area the medical folks may not do the search but the other Fire Department or Police on scene will, especially in rural areas
It is better to smell the flowers than taste the roots.
OK.... my intent was not to generate a discussion about the need for a Road ID-like device, I am convinced of the need for it. I have seen and been involved in accidents and understand how helmets, shoes, jerseys, wallets, and anything not stapled to the human body can be detached, lost, or ignored in the process of trying to save a life. And, I have observed how EMS personnel focus on the immediate and are not necessarily looking in your pockets or anywhere else when you are in danger of loosing your life. I want something attached to me that has ICE information, I just want an alternative to Road ID. There are some good suggestions above about those alternatives, thanks!
I was going to say "get a bar code tattooed on the nape of your neck", but a grain of rice-sized RFID implant would be so much easier to insert, remove, and reprogram if/when your information changes. Seriously. Besides, jewelry is for girls. (and it's hell to kick a dog-tag between your front teeth, if you've got bridge-work or dentures)
