Hello Everyone I'm in need of some advice.
I'm a bridesmaid in a good friend's wedding coming up in March. Her maid of honor asked me and three other bridesmaids to host her shower. I've never been to any sort of wedding shower before, so I didn't exactly know what it entailed, but seeing as I am a bridesmaid, I felt like I should help out. I told her "Well, I have a 50 page brief due for school the same day, but I think I could make a cake a few days in advance," (I know I'm no pro decorator, but my friends flatter me and get so excited every time I make a cake). I asked if there was anything else I needed to do; she replied saying once she figured out all the food and flowers and everything, she would send the girls who were hosting "an estimate" of what we need to contribute.
So later she tells me we are expecting 50 people at the shower (good Lord is that normal? I definitely wasn't expecting that many people.) Another one of the bridesmaids said we'd probably have to contribute about $150 each.
Now it's not that I don't want to contribute the money (okay, maybe it's something like that)... but making a custom cake for 50 people... I'll probably end up spending $150 on the cake, after ordering Satin Ice, buying ingredients, making a nice cake board, etc.
So I don't want to be rude, but another $150 on top of that... well it just doesn't exist in my wallet! Is there a tactful way I can mention to the MOH how much I'm spending on the cake and perhaps that be my contribution since it would normally be an expense of a shower? Or perhaps send her an itemized list of expenses and have that added to the grand total of the shower and then we could divide the entire cost of the shower, including the cake amongst us?
Or because I offered to help host, am I obliged to contribute an extra $150 for all the other expenses? The MOH has already printed the invites with my name listed as a hostess, so I can't opt out entirely.
Am I crazy to think a shower bordering $1000 is semi-ridiculous?
I am completely ignorant as to bridesmaid etiquette as I I've never done it before, but I think the MOH is one of the many who assume it will cost me $20 to produce a custom cake for 50 people. I'd like to figure this out before she sends all the girls an estimate, since I can't back out of paying once she tells everyone what they owe...
So do any of you have any suggestions? Or an etiquette guide? Much thanks in advance!
First of all, are you saying the Maid of Honor requested that you and the two other bridesmaids host this shower while she (MOH) is not contributing? Her duties as MOH should include sharing the expense of this shower.
Second, the cost of the cake normally would be included with the rest of the expenses of the party and then shared by whoever is hosting the party. You should not be stuck with a larger share of the bill than the other bridesmaids, but, you're right, most people don't know how much that will cost you to make.
The cost is hard for others to judge, sounds very high to me, but I've been to many showers which were not high-end so I can't tell.
One more thing, are you planning on giving her the cake as a gift or planning on buying her something else - puts a different spin on things in that case.
Well, the invites are sent so the party size is going to be what's it's going to be. Not much to be done about that. But there's still time to plan/re-plan the shower. Consider talking to the others hosting the event. Are they also concerned about the cost? Maybe more of the food could be made instead of purchased/catered. Often many people attending will ask if they can help or bring anything. Accept their offer and give them something to bring! Maybe party favors or decorations could be scaled back somewhat.
But also, definitely consider talking the MOH about your cost commitment in the cake. All of us here know it costs plenty to make a cake. Especially if none of the other bridesmaids are making food (and I expect they aren't with a budget that high), your cash payment should be reduced or eliminated.
Be warned that there are lots of other costs and inconveniences involved with being a bridesmaid (dress, shoes, jewelry, travel, sometimes MULTIPLE(!) showers, etc.). So if you are concerned about the financial commitment this is a good time to speak up and start having those conversations. Good luck!!!
I would definitely have a talk with the MOH. This appears to be a big affair, the costs seem high. But, I guess it could be regional - here the parents of the bride buys all the bridesmaids dresses, & shoes, and the showers aren't that elaborate.
I have been in this position more times than I could count and I usually just look at the person asking for the money and say "well, my portion will be covered by the cake so let me know if you need anyone to help assemble favors or address envelopes!". They usually do look a little aghast but they get over it. If they come back at you with "well, the shower is going to cost more than the cost of the cake so we still need you to pay the 150" then you need to let them know you are not going to be able to provide the cake as well as pitch in so it has to be one or the other. But do it quickly so that this money isn't going onto someones credit card and then you are expected to pay it back. An elaborate shower for 50 guests can easily top 1k so yes, it could be 150.00 times 4 contributors. It really depends on the level of the shower...which should have been discussed amongst those paying for the shower. Guest list first then budget..the amount of the people divided by available budget gives you the starting point for the type of shower you will be able to have. Now everyone wants a Platinum Weddings type shower but since we all don't make millions a year we can't all provide Platinum Wedding showers...sometimes it's 8 women around a coffee table with cake and coffee. Time to have a meeting with ALL the wedding party, except the Bride, and have a budget meeting.
Spot on Catlharper! I think that's a lot of money myself, but it definitely would be one or the other, not both.
Spot on Catlharper! I think that's a lot of money myself, but it definitely would be one or the other, not both.
I've been an event planner for over 15 years now and big showers are becoming the "norm" but smaller paychecks to cover those big showers are also the norm right now so you have to be extra realistic when planning one. And that requires upfront honesty with all those providing money and/or products/services.
Presently I'm helping my older daughter throw a baby shower for her baby sister, my youngest daughter. I'm doing the cake and volunteered to do the favors too. Other than gifts to my younger daughter and helping to set up that is the extent of my help. My daughters have learned over the past 15 years what it takes to bring off a big shower so we have all been right up front with eachother when it comes to the money needed, including the Mom to be voluteering to pitch in if needed. I think if you keep your expectations in check with your budget then everyone ends up happier in the end!
This is true, but I think people are still seeking the unrealistic expectations. Too much "Platinum Weddings" and the baby shower one. I've always thought the bride's family threw the shower and the MOH threw the bachlorette party with a little help from the bridesmaids. I think the cost of being in a wedding, financial and time wise, on top of a wedding present should be more then a fair contribution to everything. $150 on top of that, a bit too much for me.
Since the bride isn't part of this planning and shared expense, I'd be sure to give her a traditional gift, regardless.
There must be someone on here, who may live in your area, who would help you out and write out a customized bill for what that cake would cost. Then you can take this cost, give it to the MOH and ask her to refigure the amout due from each person. This way it's not just you saying the cake should cost "x"; and the MOH will also realize that there really is a cost factor with the cake. Now, if she decides to go with a Walmart cake because of budget, then you can just concentrate on getting your brief done. And be sure it's clear you cannot afford to compromise on your time because this brief is your future, not a one day event and it has to take presidence.
I really do think it's just ignorance of her part as to what a cake really would cost for this event.
Thank you all so much!
The cake would not be the gift; I just saw it as my contribution to the shower when I offered making it. I've already bought a $250 gown, $100 shoes, and helped with a lingerie shower (and gift)... so on top of a shower gift and a wedding gift, an extra $150 would be difficult to come up with. Given that I have no job, it's between wedding things and eating, ha. Fortunately the wedding is local (and I will NOT be making that cake!)
I love the girl who is getting married; I just think the MOH is expecting a lot (although to be fair, she is putting in a great deal herself and her co-MOH hasn't even bought her dress yet).
Bah, remind me to never get married... or be in another wedding!
I will probably send MOH an email- would something like this be appropriate?
"Hey MOH, I was wondering what you anticipate the cost of the shower to be? I was making a list of ingredients and supplies and preparing to order fondant online- I always forget how expensive cakes can be when I make them (especially for 50 people). Anyway it looks like I will be spending about $150 on getting all these cake supplies together- rough estimate. I didn't know if that was an appropriate financial share for me to contribute or if it looks like everyone will have to spend more than that? I can definitely come up with an itemized list of all the ingredients/supplies if you're trying to be meticulous and have everyone bear the cost equally. If you think all the girls hosting won't have to contribute that much money, I'll just take care of the entire cake cost. Let me know what you think is best. The cake is going to be so cute- I think you girls will love it!
Can't wait,
Please offer any suggestions you might have! Or let me know if you'd be put off by anything in an email like this.
Thanks a bunch!
I would suggest making a couple changes to that letter. First, I would not ask about what the total cost of the shower is expected to be....that may open the door for the MOH to up the amount. Also, I wouldn't raise the question of the other girls contributing more or not...again that may lead the MOH to think that you are flexible with the contribution amount.
I would be very direct in the message something like, "....just wanted you to know that after adding up the costs and getting the right supplies ordered for the shower cake, the total came to X amount of dollars.... This cake will be my financial contribution....let me know if there is anything else I can do to help as far as setting up or helping in other ways to prepare for the shower, being an unemployed student, I have more time and talent than money....."
Stay away from questions and use statements.
LoL, this post reminds me of a horrific bridesmaid experience of my own. I was the "poor bridesmaid" in a "platinum wedding" and finally had to put my foot down with my best friend's mom...I resorted to tears with her and explained that after the 75.00 shoes and 500.00 dress I couldn't possibly contribute the 200.00 she wanted from all six of us bridesmaids to foot the bill for the shower.I ended up making the cake for the shower in lieu of the 200.00.
Thanks for the advice MadameRaz. I know I need to be more assertive; I just can't help feeling guilty for some reason! Good thing I'm sending my email through y'all's filter
I cannot IMAGINE spending $500 on a dress. I do hope it was something you could wear again. And again. But is anyone ever that lucky? I was frustrated about spending $100 on shoes that have FIVE inch heels! 1) I'm already 5'7" - all the girls will be taller than all the guys in the wedding (which might not bother some people, but the guy I'm walking down the aisle with in like 5'5" so I think I'm just going to look like a silly giraffe hovering over him; and 2) I broke my foot six months ago. If I break it again wearing these darn things... bah. Of course all this is off topic.
The Bride isn't having a platinum wedding- she would elope if it were up to her and has already cancelled two other showers (which is probably why this one has so many people). The MOH picked out our $250 dresses. Surprise.
I think part of the issue is that the MOH wants to start an event planning business, so maybe she sees this as practice (or for her portfolio?) But honestly I don't understand. She's unemployed too. Actually we all are. One has a brand new baby and is on welfare, another is newly married herself, and a third's husband just lost his job. Then there's me who stupidly decided to go into $100,000 in debt by going to school to go into a field where there are no jobs! Where exactly she sees this money coming from is beyond me. Cake + Presents = a party to me. Maybe a vegetable tray so you don't feel guilty about eating the cake.
I really should have just said no from the get go, but I guess it's too late. I'll think about what you said and try to come up with a new way to approach it. Thanks again
Geesh, I must be WAY out of the loop on this stuff!
my son just got married in October and my daughter-in-law's bridal shower was cake, punch, some appetizer thingies that her friend threw together (veggie tray, meatballs, cheeseball). No "favors" (holy cow when did THAT come into play for showers? ). A couple of games where token gifts were given (hand lotion; photo album).
Someone tells me I need to pitch in 150 bucks for a freakin' shower (times HOW many bridesmaids????) and I tell them where to put that dollar figure!
Sounds like the person in charge of planning was way too free with spending everyone else's money!!
What the he!! ever happened to asking people "How much can you contribute?", adding that up and planning the party INSIDE a pre-determined budget? Instead of planning the party and THEN telling people, "Here's what you owe me."
That's a bullsh*t method of planning, if I ever saw one!
Sadly, I never wore that dress again, or the shoes - it was a pearly pink color and it looked awesome on the rest of the brides maids, who were all latina women with nice tan skin and I was the lone pearl pink skinned girl, wearing the pearl pink dress,lol. I tried dying it later with rit and the fabric just would not accept the fabric dye...it was crazy how stain-proof it was...(I'd also like to add that my own wedding dress was only 125.00 and I paid for my bridesmaids' dresses, which only cost 27.00 each)
Well, it sounds like all the other bridesmaids are in the same financial boat, so I would suggest holding a shower-budget meeting...maybe give all the other girls a pre-meeting heads-up that you will be bringing up ideas to help save on expenses...that way the others will feel more comfortable talking about how managable or unmanagable the costs are for them to have to pay. Maybe then, the MOH will get the hint that she might be planning a shower that is not fiscally reasonable.
Good Luck!

Exactly what I was anticipating when I agreed to help.

I can empathize with you somewhat- I'm the pale pink girl, but at least my dress is navy. Next thing you know MOH will be organizing a trip to the tanning salon
Thanks everyone for your advice and input. I thought maybe I was just being selfish, but you've made me feel a lot better about approaching her!

Hubby and I were discussing this very line. We can understand someone using an opportunity to "practice" their new entrepreneurship .... we do it with our family all the time with our free cakes. But if MOH is starting a planning biz, then she needs to INVEST in her own self to promote her up and coming biz venture. How many of us on here make cakes to show family/friends what we can do and 99.9% of the time, we are investing in that cake 100% out of our own pocket?
MOH needs to, as we say in our house, get her head out of her a$$.
I was approached by the MOB about getting a spray-on tan right before the wedding, I refused. I was also the only bridesmaid who did her own hair and did my own alterations as well. I defenitely grew some backbone by the time the wedding day came and ended up saving literally hundreds of dollars by simply saying "NO" to the endless demands.
I also, got paired with the shortest, roundest and rudest groomsman, my husband later told me that our walk down the aisle reminded him of Snow White with a scowling Grumpy tagging along.
All in the same area here, attitudes toward weddings and showers vary. When I got married 8 years ago, I went with my MOH to pick out a dress. The whole plan was to find a dress she loved and wanted to wear, no matter the style, price, anything. Her dress, her decision. And we looked for something she could wear again, not a typical bridesmaid dress. And no shower, I was old enough, and established for so long in my own home I didn't need anything.
Back in the 70's when I was MOH for my best friend we all went and were told to find dresses we loved. We all agreed on a dress we loved but each liked a different color on us, so the bride told us to get whatever color we wanted. And I hosted her shower in my mothers backyard. We had a ball.
When both my nephews got married, there was more than enough money from both their families to have quite elaborate showers. However, both were given my showers in my SIL's family room, large enough to accomodate lots of people, and like Indy said, finger foods, a few silly games, cake and open presents. I think everyone has a better time at these. When another friend's daughter had her shower last summer, it was at an expensive restaurant, and it was nothing but stress on all of them, including the bride and MOB.
Maybe you need to tell the MOH that a good portfolio idea would be show how well you can do a beautiful shower on a tight budget.......
(Not to get off subject, but does anyone else remember ages ago doing the shower and making the carnation flowers out of tissues to cover a homemade wishing well for the presents?)
oh! oh! oh! pick me! Pick me! Pick me!
i remember making those tissue carnations! We used to make them just for the heck of it!! tacky as all get-out, but we sure thought they were snazzy at the time!
I try to get Brides, or MOH's or whoever is throwing the shower, to concentrate on ONE idea that is within the budget. I've worked restaurants as well as private homes and have found that if they just focus on one really great item, like a fantastic cake, or great food, or just really cute favors, then it will make the impression that they want. I attend way too many where they tried to do way too much with too tight of a budget. It's like trying to do all of your Christmas shopping with the same $20. You really can't do anything well. When we renewed our own vows last year we did it all on 8k..and that included the honeymoon in the fancy B&B in Monterey. It was held at a museum, had 50 guests with drinks/champagne, cake, and appetizers...all held in the middle of the afternoon, and topped off with a great cake. And, yes, we had the fancy invites, the DJ and the photographer. It can be done...most people just don't want to go to the trouble to do the work to get it done with a realistic budget. And that's how I stay in business as a planner <G>
Amen to Indydebi's response....I have never been to a shower that cost that much for 50 people. ..I would say the cake is your contribution but NO to all the rest..You just don't have the money!!! Period...
(Not to get off subject, but does anyone else remember ages ago doing the shower and making the carnation flowers out of tissues to cover a homemade wishing well for the presents?)
my first ever crafting experience was making tissue flowers when I was like 5 years old! I worked at our local Boys and Girls Club for the summer last year and I taught the kids how to make them to decorate our parade float for the state fair. They loved it so much and so many of the moms and grandmas were delighted to see these tissue flowers from days of yore!
I was a kid making them too, and we did think they were stylin'. Of course that made it easy for the mothers to get us to do all that work for them. I can still see those wishing wells. A new outside metal garbage can, vertical supports and a cardboard wishing well top, and we just covered every inch of it with those carnations. I'm so glad you showed the kids how to do them and brought that back for those of us that do remember them. Did you take photos?
No pictures, I purused the WY state fair site to see if there were any photos but no luck... LOl I also have no pictures of me in the 500.00 bridesmaid dress either...
WELL the Wedding was called off; hence the shower was as well. All this stress and drama for no reason! But I suppose it prevented much more drama in the Bride and Groom's future!
hope you're able to get a refund for the shoes and dress! You are absolutely right though, better to call off a wedding than hire divorce attornies!

In a new blog post publish on July 13, former Cosby Show actor Joseph C. Phillips acknowledged his love and admiration for Bill Cosby, but also did not shy away from the condemning the comedian as a serial rapist.
Phillips, who played Cosby's son-in-law Martin Kendall on the show for three years writes that Cosby as a player was well-known on set alluding to several extramarital affairs he witnessed. He also speculated that if it was "common knowledge that Bill played around", then his wife, Camille, certainly knew but had "made her peace with it."
Yet despite the nearly 40 accusations against Cosby, Philips remained hesitant and unable to fully grasp his lifelong idol routinely sexually assaulted women.
"As the accusations began to increase, I became increasingly disturbed. I was fairly certain that some of the women were lying through their teeth, but certainly not all of them."
But his attitude changed after a conversation with a fellow actor and old friend that Cosby was said to have "mentored."
"'Back in the day,' I started. 'I remember that you knew Bill – that he was like your mentor or something. Did he ever…'
Before I finished the sentence, she began to cry.
We spent the next two hours sitting on a bench talking. Through tears, she told me her story. She cursed him for violating both her trust and her body. She cursed herself for not being smarter, and for degrading herself in pursuit of success. I listened patiently. As she began to run out of steam, she turned to me. 'Do you believe me?'
'Yes.' I said. 'I believe you.'
'Why?' she asked.
'Because I don't believe that you are crazy and only a crazy person would sit with me all this time and share a fantasy.'"
Philips seemed to finally reconcile with the idea that the man he aspired to be was not all pudding pops and fuzzy sweaters.
"Discovering that the man you idolize may be a serial rapist is a bit traumatic. I don't imagine it is anything near to the trauma of the alleged victims. Nevertheless, I found it unsettling…
Rather than spending his time bouncing kids on his knee and eating Jell-O brand pudding, this Bill was involved in illegal drugs and illicit sex, fornication, and perhaps more."
Despite Philips' harrowing revelation, however, he seems unable to let go of that father figure fantasy in almost rape apologist fashion.
"The good Bill has done over the years is real and enduring. I am not prepared to simply dismiss his brilliance, his wisdom, or his legacy. You see, all of that is a part of who I am as a man – as a Black man. I am not going to toss all of that away, at least not yet."
And offered this final plea for his own consciousness,
"Bill, you have a family who loves you, a wife who is devoted to you; you have more money than you can spend. Please, go live a quiet country life. Allow those of us who truly love you to preserve just a bit of our enchantment."
Court documents last week revealed that Cosby admitted to drugging a woman with the intent to have sex with her. In a press conference on Wednesday, Obama responded to a question asking if the president would revoke Cosby's Medal of Freedom with this moving statement clarifying his position on controversial case.
"With respect to the Medal of Freedom, there's no precedent for revoking a medal. We don't have that mechanism. As you know, I make it a policy not to comment on the specifics of cases where there still might be, if not criminal, then civil issues involved. I'll say this: if you give a woman, or a man, for that matter, without his or her knowledge, a drug, and then have sex with that person without consent, that's rape. And I think this country, or any civilized country, should have no tolerance for rape."

New Zealand house prices rose at their fastest annual pace in more than nine years in November, although there are some signs the pace of growth may be slowing in the overheated Auckland market.
The average value of a New Zealand home jumped 15 per cent to $555,729 in November compared with the year-earlier month, Quotable Value said.
Values in Auckland rose 24 per cent to $931,807.
Auckland's property market has been on a tear as migrants and investors compete for limited housing stock.
That's prompted the government and the Reserve Bank to introduce new measures to quell the risk from a housing bubble.
"Home values in Auckland are still increasing but at a slower rate than last month and it appears new rules to curb investors along with restrictions on the capital flow out of China have led to an easing in the market," said QV's Andrea Rush.
The number of houses sold at auction in Auckland has fallen, with some agencies reporting clearance rates as low as 30 per cent, when they had regularly been around 85 per cent, the agency said.
"So far we are not seeing any drastic price easing in the statistics, but we can definitely say that activity is well down on previous months," said QV valuer James Wilson.
"Whether this will correlate to values decreasing across the board remains to be seen. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that value levels among some categories of housing, in particular investment housing stock may have fallen."
- Nationally $555,729- up 15 per cent
- Auckland $931,807 - up 24 per cent
- Hamilton $435,848 - up 19 per cent
- Tauranga $525,758 - up 16 per cent
- Wellington $558,211 - up 3.9 per cent
- Christchurch $480,464 - up 2.9 per cent
- Dunedin $306,614 - up 5.1 per cent

If you seriously want to think outside the figure skating box my friend Alexandre Hamel would love to talk and innovate with you. I first met him when he was a competitive skater, delighted that his creativity is being noticed and applauded internationally.
The best news of all is he is looking for creative collaborators, check out his call for auditions here.
Gotta love Cirque de Soleil.
They are hiring figure skaters if you have always wanted to run away and join the circus now is the time!!
Since I have zero flexibility I would say my chances are next to nil for getting this gig but it's nice to dream 🙂

1. Scott Brown won the senatorial election in Massachusetts. Armed with the undemocratic filibuster, Republicans can block health care reform. What was on the brink of passage is now on life support. Since this legislation was Obama's chief domestic priority, its potential failure can only weaken his presidency. In addition, Brown's victory is already energizing Republicans heading into midterm elections.
2. The Supreme Court's ruling rejecting corporate campaign spending limits sets the stage for the unprecedented corruption of our democracy. As Jonathan Alter states, "If Exxon wants to spend $1 million (a bar tab for Big Oil) defeating an environmentalist running for city council, it can now do so." This is particularly disastrous for Democrats, as noted by The Washington Post: "[The ruling] is seen as particularly helpful for Republicans because of their party's traditional bonds with industry groups and its strong opposition to financial regulations proposed by the Obama administration."
3. Though not as critical as the two events cited above, Air America Radio, a progressive media outlet that countered Limbaugh and his ilk, will cease broadcasting. Air America presented a platform to talented voices on the left who continue to broadcast: Rachel Maddow, Thom Hartmann and Randi Rhodes.
True progressives are too patriotic to give up in despair. One must, however, acknowledge that we're in for a wild and challenging ride as the new year begins. If you're a liberal Democrat, you may be advised to hold on to your hat–and, at times, to clutch your stomach.

Installing foil bubble wrap insulation on your metal shed's roof keeps the structure warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which helps protect the objects stored inside. The insulation is constructed from solid, single- or double-layered foil wrap that doesn't allow moisture, wind or dust to enter the shed through the roof. Attach the foil bubble wrap insulation to the metal shed's rafters to ensure it doesn't slip.
Things You'll Need
- Double-sided foil adhesive tape
- Furring strips
- 2-inch metal screws
- Drill with screwdriver bit
- Foil tape
Measure the metal roof to determine the amount of foil bubble wrap insulation required for the project. Purchase approximately 10 to 15 percent more product than required to account for overlapping and to provide the proper air gap between the purlins -- the horizontal lengths of wood that support the roof panels between the rafters.
Cover the metal roof purlins with double-sided foil adhesive tape. Unroll the foil wrap insulation and attach it to the first purlin. Continue to unroll the foil insulation and attach it the remaining purlins, paying attention to allow the insulation to sag at least 1 inch between the horizontal members. The sagging provides an air gap that raises the insulation's efficiency.
Continue to attach the foil bubble wrap insulation to the metal roofing purloins, overlapping the adjoining sheets 2 inches as you go. This is a temporary hold to keep the foil bubble wrap in place while you prepare the next step.
Secure the foil bubble wrap to the framing members with furring strips. Attach the furring strips perpendicular to the purloins every 24 inches to the framing members with 2-inch metal screws, paying attention to not disrupt the insulation's sagging. Use a drill equipped with a screwdriver bit to drive the screws into the framing members.
Cover the seams of the bubble insulation with foil tape.
Tips & Warnings
- Wear work gloves while applying the product to prevent skin irritation.

In Past Lives of the Rich and Famous, Sylvia Browne, the renowned New York Times bestselling author and reigning queen of psychics provides a rare and riveting look at the (often very surprising) lives some of our most beloved celebrities experienced in the past--before our own time.
Unlike any other book she has written, Past Lives of the Rich and Famous explains what happens before birth. With assistance from her spirit guide, Francine, she offers a unique new look at more than fifty beloved celebrities, including Steve Jobs, Amy Winehouse, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Martin Luther King Jr. Browne does not just reveal what celebrities were doing in their past lives, but also makes a spiritual connection between what they did then and what they did now. She also tells us whether this is a celebrity's final life, or whether he or she will continue the journey into future lives.

The Acer Iconia A500 and W500 Tablet Review
If you are looking for a tablet, before you purchase the iPad2, look at tablets coming from Acer. The two most talked about these days are the Iconia A500(android)/W500(windows) Convertible Windows/Android Tab, and the Iconia Touchbook, a dual screen laptop/netbook. Acer has been know to put out an excellent product at a very competitivly lower price than what other companies have to offer. This article will talk about the Iconia 500 series tablet.
The A500 comes with a choice of Android, or The Iconia A500 comes with the Android 3.0 Honeycomb OS, for those who prefer Android. If you don't care for Android, you can order the Icona W500 Tab, which comes with the Windows 7 Operating system. Both offer a great looking tablet for a very reasonable price. None are tied to a cell phone company, which means they only come as Wifi only. For me that is fine, I prefer not to be roped into a 2 year contract just to play with my tablet.
However, for some this may be a deterent. It should be available around the end of April for the competitive price of $450. The beauty of this tablet is the optional keyboard dock that it goes onto. This allows you the funcionality of a notebook, but the portability of a tablet. Ideally, for me, having the ability to use Android and Windows on the same unit would be best, such as the Viewsonic Viewpad 10, which allows both Android and Windows 7 on it. Either way, this tablet is a great buy for the price.
Here are the specs:
The Iconia W500 Tab
Manufacturer: Acer
Model name Iconia Tab
Model id W500
CPU type AMD C-50 'Fusion' Dual-Core APU
CPU speed 1000 Mhz

[…] it was phenomenal. Although there are competitive tablets out there like the upcoming release of the Acer Iconia which has both Android and Windows versions, Blackberry is still ahead of the game. The Blackberry […]
The A500 doesn't have the Radeon card, it uses a Geforce ULV chip.
As for the lack of 3G I agree, if I want to go online and I don't have a wireless hot spot near me, I have two options, use my phone and browse directly on it, or activate my phone as a wireless hotspot, and connect my laptop or tablet to it.

This article originally published in the Architects Corner section of our LANSA Review customer magazine Issue 35, 2007.
LANSA has long used Microsoft's core technologies to drive advances in its application development and integration tools, so an obvious question to ask is, "What does LANSA do about leveraging .NET?"To fully answer that question, we need to be aware that .NET is a broad and far-reaching technology that is advancing on many fronts. So LANSA is advancing its tools along the .NET 'evolutionary tree' on several fronts as well.
The technology evolutionary tree
LANSA is not in the business of creating the low-level plumbing technologies and languages that drive computers and programmatic interfaces. We are in the business of leveraging and hiding the complexity of core technologies like .NET, XML or Web services.
Inevitably, some core technologies wither and fade and new ones emerge to replace them. In many cases, there are parallel competing technologies that address the same business objectives.
LANSA not only needs to choose which core technologies to support, we also need to be well positioned to change these choices quickly and with the least disruption possible. This is what we call 'technology insurance'.
The three drivers of LANSA's advanced software development
Broadly speaking there are three main factors driving the technology choices behind advances in the LANSA toolset:
- Improved Capabilities — doing new things or old things a better or cheaper way
- Better Interoperability — between operating systems, development languages and hardware
- Higher Productivity — when designing, developing and using LANSA applications
Capability driven advances
Sometimes, a new technology emerges that lets you do things that you could not do before, either because it was not technically possible or it was too expensive to implement.
For many years LANSA has used Microsoft core technologies to drive advanced application development. For example, Visual LANSA uses .NET rich-client interface API's and the Microsoft C++ compiler. LANSA for the Web and the Visual LANSA Framework have always supported Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser interface.
The architecture of .NET lets LANSA provide capabilities that it could not deliver before or deliver them in a more effective manner.
Interoperability driven advances
LANSA and .NET applications need to be able to use (that is, publish or consume) the services provided by each other. While you can do this now, it is sometimes technically complex and time consuming.
LANSA Open for .NET brings the productivity and discipline of the LANSA Repository to .NET application developers. It is a small and standardized .NET class library that allows .NET applications to easily access resources like programs, message queues and spooled files residing on IBM i server.
LANSA developers benefit from enhancements to Visual LANSA that provide better interoperability with .NET applications and Web services.
Visual LANSA supports the consumption of .NET classes directly and allows LANSA objects to be published for direct use in .NET applications. Visual LANSA also allows LANSA objects to be published as Web service interfaces, as well as consuming Web services directly.
Productivity driven advances
The development of .NET applications at the 3GL level is labor intensive and requires above average skills. Designing, implementing, testing and deploying business applications in these environments continues to stretch the capabilities and budgets of the small to medium enterprise (SME) community where LANSA has found most favor.
The application maintenance issues inherent with these technologies adds to the life-cycle cost and there are a number of areas where LANSA adds value. For example, you can embed Visual LANSA Framework and RAMP applications inside .NET applications as a productive way to modernize 5250 applications.
The LANSA Repository has always been LANSA's unique and strongest value proposition. The inclusion in Visual LANSA of a Business Object Builder launches the next generation of the LANSA Repository.
LANSA Business Objects have full class interfaces and are automatically useable in both Windows and Web contexts by LANSA, .NET or Java applications.
LANSA Business Objects:
- Hide internal complexity from developers
- Allow higher levels of reuse
- Contain complex business processes, not just business rules
- Create better IT skills separation
- Reduce the cost of maintenance and enhancement
- Be automatically published using industry standard interfaces and technologies
LANSA's proven track record
For over 20 years, LANSA has been about applying core technologies to deliver new capabilities, increase developer and user productivity and to reduce the costs associated with the ongoing maintenance of applications and developer skills.
Better interoperability between LANSA and .NET applications benefits developers of both LANSA and .NET applications and is another example of how LANSA provides technology insurance.
LANSA is your Microsoft .NET technology insurance policy
Capability Driven Advances: By leveraging the architecture of .NET, LANSA delivers new capabilities or improve the effectiveness of existing features.
Interoperability Driven Advances: The level of interoperability between LANSA and .NET applications will continue to improve and be refined.
Productivity Driven Advances: The LANSA Repository improves the productivity of 3GL level .NET application development.

What is the student-to-faculty ratio?
It is approximately 13-to-1, but class sizes vary. 92 percent of classes have fewer than 100 students.
How accessible are UB professors?
Professors post their office hours and email addresses at the beginning of each semester and encourage interested students to stop by for consultations. Most professors welcome the opportunity to meet with students.
I took several AP courses in high school. Can I get credit for them?
Depending on the scores you received on the AP examinations, you may be able to apply credit, including the course's letter grade, to your UB academic requirements. Discuss these options with your advisor at orientation. A report of your AP scores will come to the university during the fall semester, which is when you'll have the option of accepting the scores and credit.
Am I required to study a second language at UB?
Most students who enter UB as freshmen within the College of Arts and Sciences are required to demonstrate intermediate proficiency in a second language. Visit the UB Curriculum requirements page for details.
How many courses are considered a full load?
Twelve credits is considered full time. To finish a 120-semester-hour degree program in four years (eight semesters), it's recommended that you take an average of 15 credits each semester.

What is Finish in 4?
Finish in 4 is UB's commitment to your timely graduation. With the guidance of special advisors, you'll create a personalized plan for finishing your four-year degree on time. If you fulfill all of your obligations but still can't graduate in four years, UB will provide you with the opportunity to complete the UB courses you need for your degree free of any tuition or comprehensive fee charges.
I'm not sure what subject to major in. How can I decide?
Most freshmen enter UB without knowing what to major in, and that's OK! Your first two years are all about exploration and mastery of basic skills. When you register for classes at orientation, you'll be asked to state your intended major, but that doesn't mean you're locked in; you are being asked to focus on your current interest. This helps the university better plan course availability and will help you and your advisor make appropriate fall semester course selections.
What kind of assistance can I get to help me improve my study skills?
UB has many services to help students who wish to improve their academic performance. Learn more on the Undergraduate Academic Advisement website.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Does the lamp light blink red?
after the green , it blinks red yes
Is it the lamp light?
no, in the power section
What is the blink sequence? For e.g 4 blinks-pause-4 blinks and so on
5 times and repeats
remember is the red light thats repeats
When you turn the set on, listen carefully if you hear any crackling/fizzing noise?
no, i can not even hear the relay....some times only after red light
The problem seems to be with the ballast.
Ballast is the power supply of the lamp. It's like firing circuit of the lamp.
so what can i do, to repair or buy the part, is it valueble the repair
It's part no. is 1-468-936-11
You can replace it. I am loooking for it's availability online.
You can get it from the link below.
thanks for your quick reply
Before replacing you will need to check the DC voltage
From the large 2 wire plug.
It should be around 300V DC
why and because.....remember i am not a tech
To confirm it is the lamp.
Remove the lamp and close the lamp door. Turn the set on. If you do not hear the crackling/fizzing sound then the ballast is not working.
When was the lamp replaced last time?
How old is the set?
7 years in oct
OMG! A lamp is usually replaced ever 1-2 years.
ow, there is a very good chance that due to aging the lamp is not being able to maintain the arc. So, the set is shutting down.
Also, the ballast could be fried so the TV shows the 5 blink code.
Are you there?
The first thing to do would be replacing the lamp. Most likely, you will have to replace both lamp as well as ballast.
yes we are here. well i think that the tv will be a great recycle item. too much money and can buy a flat tv.
Lets say ou have to replace both lamp as well as ballast, then parts alone would cost you around $350. The rest is your choice. Otherwise, you can go for a LCD/LED TV and then repair this TV and keep it as a standby or sell it on E-Bay.
well your opinion sounds great, thanks for you time. from puerto rico with care ,, felicha. bye
Btw, replacing the lamp is really easy.
Good day :)

Epson PowerLite W29 Projector Review

Epson PowerLite W29 Projector Review
Of Epson's extensive line of business and classroom projectors, the $599 PowerLite W29 is right in the middle of the $900 955WH above it and the $450 VS345 below. But, schools can get it through Epson's Brighter Futures program for $479 with an extra year of warranty coverage, making it one of the best values for classrooms around.
Overall, the PowerLite W29 packs a lot of projector into a small package that can be carried from classroom to classroom during the day. It uses a trio of LCD panels to create a native resolution of 1,280 by 800 (WXGA) and 16:10 aspect ratio. The projector creates a bright image with acceptable color balance and has the bonus of using the company's inexpensive ELPLP88 lamp that costs $79 and is rated to run for 5,000 hours. This reduces its operating expenses, making it one of the cheapest projectors to use.
It may lack WiFi wireless networking but the projector has built-in wired Ethernet networking. This can be used to display presentations and lessons stored on a school's servers, let students or teachers project items directly from their tablets or phones and even take control of the projector.
The basic XGA PowerLite 97H and the WXGA resolution Powerlite 99W received Hot Product awards. An evolutionary update, the W29 carries on with an excellent mix of value and performance.
Rated at delivering 3,000 lumens, the PowerLite W29 projector is surprisingly small and light and can travel during the school day from room to room. At 5.8-pounds, it won't be confused with a pico-projector, so an AV cart might be a good idea. It has 3 mounting points underneath for a permanent ceiling set up as well as three adjustable feet for use on a shelf or table.
At $599, it is a good value, but Epson's Brighter Futures program allows schools to get the projector for an economical $479. It's cheap to keep because it uses Epson's ELPLP lamp, which is rated 5,000 hours of use and costs just $79, rather than $200 or $300, to replace. This makes it one of the cheapest classroom projectors to operate.

Today, the standard of beauty is athletic and slim figure. That is why aerobic exercise and fitness have acquired a double tribute to one who gives beauty of the body, and the second mode. That's why all the boys and girls tend to dress in full, and is convenient to make it at the same time beautiful, because you can meet at the sports club is very nice lady, and just wants to look the best.
To date, clothes for fitness industry is quite developed because, as a rule, it should not only be varied in quality, but the style is also different. Not to mention the fact that the line between casual and sportswear worn for a long time already. Especially fitness wear nice close to the body and is very convenient. However, we should not forget that these clothes after exercise should be well washed and dried. Therefore, it should be different from the quality of clothes for every day.
Many companies that are engaged in tailoring forms for fitness, do it from a special fabric, quick-drying, are well pass the air, for a long time retain the original color and is not stretched.
– Meryl evaporates moisture well, keeps its shape, especially this fabric in addition resistant to moths.
– Material with the addition of Polyester does not fade, does not prevent the exchange of air and dries instantly.
– Material with the addition of elastane is great for fitness, aerobics, Callanetics, yoga and all, because it has an incredible ability to stretch, while maintaining the shape after washing things.
– Best sports fabric – it Sappleks. The material is gentle as cotton and at the same time gives the body to breathe while remaining dry. On top of the fabric does not fade.
Whatever it was, but clothes should be chosen not only on the production of the material, but also on the type of sport. Depending on the sport athletic form selected open or closed. For example, for fitness yoga or Pilates need to wear tight leggings or short shorts, so you can see the work their muscles and how well the exercises are performed. For dance classes, Latin dance or belly, on the hip, you can tie a scarf, even more spectacular for the dance of the abdomen will be a necklace with a scarf (small coins).
Remember that exercise is important very clothes, in which you are engaged. It should be comfortable and do better with the body. After all, when you're in your form attractive and beautiful, and most importantly, like ourselves, then the results of the exercise for a long time not long in coming.

After three fiscal years of profitability and an impressive transformation, it's obvious that there is strength in Rite Aid.
From the leadership team in Camp Hill, Pa., to the nearly 90,000 associates it has in the field and in its stores, they believe in themselves and have built a culture focused on finding and implementing the next big idea, and creating important differentiation from their competitors.
Rite Aid's wellness+ loyalty program was a key catalyst in the company's turnaround, Ken Martindale, Rite Aid president and COO, told Drug Store News. And now that the loyalty program is evolving into wellness+ with Plenti, part of a first-of-its-kind loyalty coalition, it may serve as another bellwether for Rite Aid as the company transforms into a comprehensive retail healthcare company.
OutcomesMTM provides medication therapy management for more than 5.5 million patients.
Rite Aid's latest acquisition, the PBM EnvisionRx, significantly expands opportunities across two of the fastest growing sectors of healthcare— Medicare Part D and specialty pharmacy.
Ralph Neas, president and CEO of the Generic Pharmaceutical Association, issued a statement last month criticizing the FDA at the organization's public meeting on the Generic Drug User Free Act.
Rite Aid may be a company in the midst of a major transformation to provide greater access to health services, but there is one thing that hasn't changed and won't change — Rite Aid's commitment to helping its neighbors.
How serious are Rite Aid's leaders when they proclaim their determination to make the company a full-service, full-spectrum retail healthcare provider? Serious enough to buy RediClinic — which has operated walk-in healthcare clinics in roughly 30 H-E-B stores in Texas for much of the past decade — and serious enough to embark on an aggressive growth campaign that includes the clinic healthcare provider as a new Rite Aid subsidiary.
Rite Aid is back — and in a very big way. After years of toiling in the shadows of its fast-growing and better-capitalized rivals, the company has regained its footing and market momentum with a renewed vitality and a sharply defined focus on its mission as a community-driven health-and-wellness retailer.
Anyone who knows me knows that I spend a lot of my free time in the gym.
One thing I learned pretty quickly: There are no short cuts. Having the body you want means commitment and dedication over the long haul.
Your personal leadership story matters.
More and more, the success of any healthcare delivery model in the United States will depend on the ability of all members of a patient-care team — physicians, pharmacists, hospital systems and health plan payers included — to collaborate effectively on a longterm plan of care that's focused on successful outcomes and disease prevention.
A big part of the reason behind Rite Aid's success is that the story has changed. It's no longer about swimming upstream or playing defense. Today, it's about creating a retail healthcare company and aggressively turning that dream into reality.

Crustless Pear and Almond Tart
Recipe by Geema
This fancy looking tart doesn't require pastry making skills. It's easy to assemble, and always gets compliments. Serve this tart the same day it is made, either warm or at room temperature.
Top Review by PanNan
I put this tart together in a jiffy (I did purchase the almonds already ground). It baked while dinner cooked. The batter cooked up around the pears, and made a very attractive tart. It's not too sweet, and the delicate flavor of the baked pears was wonderful. I served it warm with a small amount of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄4 cups whole blanched almonds (6 oz.)
- 1⁄2 cup sugar, plus
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits
- 2 large ripe bartlett pears (1 lb.) or 2 large bosc pears (1 lb.)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter a 9 inch baking dish or tart pan.
- In a food processor, combine the almonds and 1/2 sugar and process until finely ground.
- Be careful not to process too long or it will turn into almond butter!
- Transfer the ground almonds to a medium bowl and stir in the flour and salt until blended.
- In another medium bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.
- Whisk in the milk and melted butter until well blended.
- Add the egg mixture to the almonds and stir to blend well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread to form an even layer.
- Peel, quarter and core the pears.
- cut each pear quarter into crossways slices, keeping the slices assembled as you go.
- Slide one of the sliced pear quarters onto a metal spatula or spreader and set it on top of the batter.
- Repeat with the remaining sliced pear quarters forming the spokes of a wheel.
- Press the surface of the fanned pears down into the batter so that only the surface of the pears is showing.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the pears and scatter the cut up butter bits over the top.
- Bake the tart in the upper third of the oven until the batter is puffed and golden brown, 40-45 minutes.
- Let the tart cool on a rack.
- You could substitute mangoes, peaches, or apples for the pears, and have the same delicious results.

it doesn't really matter if Godou learns martial arts or not brcause he have his Authorities to fight against a God martial arts are useless against them and about the white sword I guess its pretty much the same as that black sword given by Athena to Godou that doesn't need swordsmanship to wield

Still, what's with Godou attracting so many girls? It gets boring after a while. Well, not boring, but more like annoying.

By the way, any progress on his personality in this volume? Like being more honest with himself or become more aggressive in his relationship with the girls?

Shrugs, it's a basic thing not to add more things than necessary when you're writing. Time (wordcount) spent on getting girls attracted to him could be spent cultivating already established relationships. Comedy can be sneaked in-between of the scenes than making a scene just for the sake of (love) comedy.
Not to mention, I kind of want to see Godou actually winning genuine respect as an equal more than getting girls attracted to him (the kinds that knights and lords of the past gave to one another). Besides, that it's a fact of life that the relationship between a boy and a girl doesn't have to be romantic (that kind of thinking have driven many to severe Oneitus cases), friendship is a thing. Though I shouldn't have expected common sense to amount to anything in the 'Divine' world of Campione!.

^ I don't think the writer spent that much time on all the 'crush' Godou got. For me it looks like just one of Godou's main characteristic and slipped mainly for comedy. And its not like this part take that much space and done as a main point. As for genuine respect for equal, he already have that from all the other Campione right?

No, not really. Acknowledge? Maybe. Respect as an equal? Nope. An example of one would be Petyr Baelish and Varys. When you respect each other as an equal, you do not want to anger or offend them on the basis of that respect. The closest one we got (recently, up until Uldin) is with Luo Hao but she still calls him "little brother" which also subtly shows inferiority (Doni doesn't count because he's an idiot). Of course, thanks to "shipping goggles" and "the harem must be fed"... people add her to Godou's harem instead for some reason.
Sigh, why can't these Kings and Queens acts like one for once? The closest one we got is with Uldin and Alec, and Alec is well... can't ask much seriousness from a harem series I suppose.

No, as I saw it, they are less of a King than Robert Baratheon is. Yeah, he sucks as a King, but at least he still did something. In fact, from what I have seen, they seem more like an eccentric mercenary than actual monarch, paid by fear and golds by the mortals to fight the immortals.
In a serious work, they would have this little thing known as "consequences" but as it is, no matter what they do there are no repercussion to any of their actions. But enough of that, I have already complained about that too many times. Campione! just isn't that kind of serious of a work, unless somehow, against all odds, everything up to this point was on purpose for a steady spiral to darkness, but I won't expect much in exchange for not asking much.

And in this case they have gained powers close to God, and if the Gods doesnt give a damn, why would they? They have no responsability when it has even been mentioned they arent even human to begin with. They do things how they want, after all they are the sons of Epithemeus and are Idiots by nature.

The only people who can fight and defeat Gods as immortals are those who are born with absurd, abnormal personalities. The entire process starts with a human facing down a God in combat, a task so ridiculous Erica was absolutely terrified of the very idea. By definition, the potential Campione is someone who goes against the natural order and forces the world to conform to them. Then we get the "miracle piling upon miracle" and boom, here comes a new Campione.
Remember those fun little scenes with the Youth incarnation or Lancelots curse? That wasn't Godou being under the influence of magic, that was magic removing the influence of his "common sense" (which is fairly abnormal as it is) to reveal his real personality. The way he casually dominates the girls or starts a death match because he felt like it? That is the real Godou, the one who killed Verethragna. And no one except a god or campione has any ability to hold him accountable for his actions
