CEO of Lavera Cosmetics Discusses Hot Trends for 2010 Organic and Natural Beauty Products; Educates Consumers To Help Them Navigate Through The Jungle of Natural and Organic Labels
Lavera's "Truth in Beauty" tour offers consumer education and preview of hot new beauty trends for winter and beyond!
WHY: We all know the benefits of eating home cooked, organic foods—fewer toxins, no genetically modified ingredients and more flavor. What many consumers are now realizing is that the same holds true for beauty and personal care products as well. As consumers are becoming more educated about the importance of safe and natural ingredients, the natural and organic beauty industry has begun seeing the boom that the organic food market and organic cleaning products saw in years past. Lavera Naturkosmetik is a leader and an industry trendsetter in the natural and organic category, and is working to further educate consumers about the ingredients found in most mainstream beauty products today. A top-selling beauty brand in Europe for years, Lavera is excited to make its debut in the U.S. and offer some of the hottest new trends in beauty that are developing a following from mainstream consumers and celebrities alike.
WHAT: Ulrike Jacob, CEO of Lavera cosmetics, is visiting New York on August 12 & 13 to embark on a "Truth in Beauty" tour to not only educate consumers on the benefits of using natural and organic products, but to give a preview of some the latest in skincare and beauty for 2010. A go-to expert in the organic beauty category, she would love to share with you and your readers more information about how European regulations for beauty products are different from the U.S., what that means to consumers, and how Lavera products are some of the best, safest products available on the market today. In addition, Ulrike would love to share with you some the cutting edge in beauty for 2010, including:
- • Hot new colors for fall: Did you know that the average woman will eat 6 lbs of lipstick over her lifetime? Did you also know that many of the lipsticks on the market today also contain harmful ingredients such as lead? A smart solution—Lavera offers a wide variety of natural and organic lipsticks that don't contain many ingredients found in mainstream lipstick. Available in many varieties to bring color into the grey days, Ulrike can preview some of the hot new colors for winter, as well as some fun color choices in eye shadows and blush.
- • Dry Skin Dilemma: As soon as people even think of the cold air and harsh wind that hit each winter, their skin starts to itch. In fact, 1 in 32 or 8.4 million Americans suffer from dry skin, and because of this, consumers try every face wash and lotion they can get their hands on to help quench their skin's thirst. But what they don't know, is that the products they buy to help moisturize their skin could leave it even more irritated with all its harmful ingredients. This winter, consumers should turn to Lavera Faces Wild Rose, Whole System for Dry Skin, or their Faces Calendula line for all natural, non-irritating dry skin relief.
- • Dreaded Pale Skin: We've all been there. It's the middle of winter, your tan has long faded, and you feel washed out. Your first thought is to hit the tanning bed because you don't want to deal with smelly, streaking fake tanners. But think again. Just this week, the International Agency for Research on Cancer moved tanning beds to its highest cancer risk category and announced that tanning beds are just as deadly as arsenic! Lavera's Self Tanner for Body is certified organic and all natural, so it doesn't contain the harmful chemicals found in most self tanners AND it doesn't have the pungent odor associated with most sunless tanners! It a much safer, and much more effective way to keep that summer glow all year long!
WHEN: August 12 & 13, 2009
WHO: Ulrike Jacob may be the only CEO of a major cosmetics and personal care brand in the U.S. with an advanced degree in chemistry and major in biochemistry. She heads Lavera Skin Care North America, the U.S. arm of Europe's dominant green beauty brand. The German maker of organic and natural cosmetics and personal care products commands a 27 percent market share in Europe, and is top-ranked in rigorous consumer tests among industry cohorts. Jacob, in her role at Lavera/North America, has emerged as a strong and credible voice advocating that Europe's stringent regulation of ingredients in personal care products become the U.S. standard as well.
HOW: To schedule an interview with Ulrike or to receive more information please contact Rachel Rademacher at 651-789-1269 or [email protected]

Now that summer is about to officially be here next week, sunscreen is on all of our shopping lists. While getting a sunburn is certainly dangerous to your health so is a poorly chosen, chemical-laden sunscreen. Thankfully, there are a lot of truly healthy AND protective sunscreens on the market today. Courtesy of the EWG (Environmental Working Group) you can now know just how healthy a sunscreen is before you purchase it. A rating of 1 is the best and healthiest rating while a 10 is you guessed it – the most health hazardous.
Ideally, you should choose a sunscreen that gets a 1, like this natural mineral sunscreen from Block Island Organics. The EWG even named it 2016's Best Beach & Sport Sunscreen!
The product: Block Island Organics Natural Mineral Sunscreen, SPF 30
What it's good for: Preventing highly unenjoyable and health hazardous sunburns. Also, guarding against premature aging of the skin!
Key natural ingredient: Zinc oxide (22%). In general, this formula is vegan, gluten-free and eco-friendly (no ingredients have been shown to harm reefs).
The price tag: $19.99 (for a 3.4 fl oz bottle)
Where to buy: BlockIslandOrganics.com or check out their Store Locator
My favorite perk: Most importantly, it gets the healthiest score possible (a 1) from the EWG, but I also love how this sunscreen is lightweight and non greasy. Unlike a lot of natural mineral sunscreens, this one rubs in nicely. Of course, make sure not to apply it in excessive amounts because that will make it harder to rub in completely.
DISCOUNT FOR MY READERS: Use the code annie on the Block Island Organics website to receive 20% off your entire purchase from June 15, 2016 through June 24, 2016.*Please note that this code is not combinable with any other codes or discounts.
Hope you all have a sunny, healthy, fun and relaxing summer!

Another school van driver - with a history of driving violations - was stopped by police early Friday afternoon for allegedly driving erratically. It was the second instance in a month.
The driver is charged with driving under the influence of drugs and failure to stay in marked lanes.
Bonnie J. Lyons, 55, of 81 Washington St., was driving a van registered to Northboro-based Van Pool Transportation when someone from Berlin called police and reported she was swerving and driving irregularly.
There were no pupils in the van.
She was subsequently pulled over by Clinton Police Officer Joseph Downing, who confiscated her license. He said Lyons was not arrested, but would receive a summons. He said Lyons told him she was on prescribed pain medication, not illegal drugs.
Kevin Hinkamper, president of Van Pool, which also has offices in Barre, Fitchburg and Wilbraham, said Lyons is a part-time driver who drove special needs students from Marlboro-based Assabet Valley Collaborative, which serves Berlin, Bolton, Boylston, Lancaster, Grafton, Hudson, Marlboro, Maynard, Millbury, Northboro, Shrewsbury, Southboro, Stow and Westboro.
He said Lyons will not be driving for the company until the case is resolved.
According to the state Registry of Motor Vehicles, Lyons had speeding violations in Berlin in August 2011, in Harvard in 1994; and a right of way at an intersection violation in Boston in 1994. She was also involved in an accident in Clinton in 1994, and in Berlin on Oct. 20.
A spokesman for the state Department of Transportation said Lyons had a valid school vehicle driver's license before the incident Friday; and Van Pool Transportation is properly certified.
Last month, a school van driver for Leominster-based Ride-Rite Medi Van was arrested for drunken driving, kidnapping and child endangerment after driving around for hours with a blind student from Clinton in a Ride-Rite van. It was later discovered that the driver, Michael A. Tantillo of Leominster, has a seven-page driving and criminal history and did not have a school bus driver's license. He was ordered held on $50,000 cash bail at the county jail in West Boylston. He is due back in Clinton District Court Nov. 19.
A Ride-Rite lawyer went before the RMV at a hearing last week to answer questions about background checks and licenses for drivers. A decision is expected soon on revoking or suspending Ride-Rite's pupil vehicle license plates, the spokesman said.

Two residents were displaced from their Thomasville home after a bedroom in their residence caught fire Sunday morning.
Firefighters with the Thomasville Fire Department were dispatched to 409 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive at 11:07 a.m.
TFD Battalion Chief Robbie Binkley said firefighters arrived and saw smoke coming from the front of the two-bedroom house. The batallion chief said Timothy Robinson and Evet Mack live at the residence and were at home when the fire began.
Binkley said there is extensive fire damage to a bedroom. He estimated repairs will be between $10,000 and $12,000.
A smoke detector alerted the residents of the fire in the bedroom, at which time they called the Davidson County 911 Center. Binkley said Thomasville Fire Marshal Rocky Watts investigated, and his investigation is pointing to a curling iron catching fire to bedding material as the cause.
Binkley said the TFD is continuing to investigate how the curling iron started the fire. However, he said the fire department does not think the fire is suspicious.
Binkley said the house is not a total loss. However, the residents will have to make repairs to it before they move back in, the battalion chief said.
No injuries were reported.
Three stations from the Thomasville Fire Department responded, and paramedics with Davidson County Emergency Medical Services were on standby. The Greater High Point-Davidson Chapter of the American Red Cross is assisting the man and woman, Binkley said.
Darrick Ignasiak can be reached at 249-3981, ext. 217, or email@example.com.

text: The problem with an auto repair shop is it is often like going to the dentist. Nobody really wants to be there, but everybody knows it is a necessity. Treating your car right is vital in today's world and maintaining it is the hardest part. The biggest part of that is finding a great mechanic you can TRUST and somebody who is not going to take advantage of you. You are looking to build a relationship with a company you can put faith in to handle your automotive problems. Here are 3 of the best tips that can help you when you are looking for the right shop to fix your vehicle correctly, with no issues; 1) CHECK ONLINE REVIEWS – Before you go into a shop for the first time, it is important to do your research. With the Internet you can find a lot of information on companies and get feedback from people who have already been there. These are people just like you with an unbiased opinion on their experience in the shops. These can be found all over the Internet. Mainly review sites such as YELP, Google, Angie's List and even their own website. Watch for authenticity of reviews and good attention to detail. 2) ARE THEY CERTIFIED? – If you are looking to trust your vehicle to be worked on at their shop, it is important the mechanics are up to date with all the latest automotive technology. Having the ability to fix cars is now getting harder than ever with the constant change of technology. Its important your potential shop has ASE certified technicians at any location you want to go to. Again, you can refer to reviews to find out if the shop is actually FIXING the cars or if their problem still exists after a previous customers visit. 3) HOW WAS THE FIRST VISIT? – After doing your research, and making your final decision on where to go, you are now going to judge off first impressions. Was it easy to make an appointment? Is this shop clean? Are all the staff friendly and helpful? Are they taking the time to explain any problems they found with your vehicles or are they being pushy? All of these are very important factors in deciding whether you want to come back for a second visit. So those are the 3 main tips to finding (and keeping) a good repair shop. Remember, it is an important decision so take your time and only trust those who really prove to you they are worthy. Wilhelm has been the valleys most trusted auto shop for over 87 year's with locations in Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Cave Creek, Happy Valley and Arcadia, find out why by checking out our Wilhelm's YELP and Google listings from our links below; Google Yelp

(Costa Mesa, CA) January, 2014 – Every season, the Segerstrom Center for the Arts produces a plethora of diverse shows: musicals, operas, chamber and jazz music, ballet, and even a rock concert or two: shock-rock legend Alice Cooper performed in the main Segerstrom Hall this past November to glowing reviews. But Center President Terry Dwyer believes in thinking, and working, outside of the box. The most recent example of this methodology is his pride and joy: The Off Center Festival. This exciting festival is celebrating its third year of eclectic music and dance performances, as well as contemporary theater.
"We want each festival to be an artistic adventure," he says. "Sometimes pure entertainment, sometimes challenging – maybe even provocative - but always offering experiences that uniquely explore the most topical issues of the day."
And this year is no exception when it comes to new, dynamic talent. For the first time, the festival will host its first Party on the Plaza (POP), a festival party on the Main Arts Plaza which is free to the public. The artists who will perform during this party include the critically acclaimed, crowd-pleasing Culture Clash (who will also perform their latest work "Keep Culture and Clash On" at Founders Hall during the festival), as well as the musical talents of East LA native Little Willie G. and the Latin alternative band, La Santa Cecilia. Several popular food trucks will also be available, enhancing the overall festival ambience even more.
The year-round process in choosing the artists for the festival is a very meticulous one for Executive Vice President Judy Morr and festival programming consultant Mark Russell, who is also the artistic director of the Under the Radar Festival in New York. Courtesy of their watchful eyes and strong networking contacts, both Morr and Russell have been successful in discovering the best when it comes to a balanced program of exciting and eclectic entertainment for the Off Center Festival.
"The best festival performances reflect the passions and experiences of the artists scheduled and, we hope, similarly will elicit uniquely personal and oftentimes strong responses from our audiences," Dwyer says. "Presenting our Off Center artists in the center's smaller venues further enhances the intimacy of those experiences and often also the intensity of the attendance experience."
The intimacy of the Segerstrom venues include the Samueli Theater—which can seat up to 500 people, the 250 seat capacity of Founders Hall, and the 270 seat Studio Performance Space located at the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. One artist who will appear in this adaptable space is Phil Soltanoff. His show, "LA Party," is a comic/dramatic story about a vegan who goes to a party in L.A. and has a bender by experimenting with all sorts of mind-altering substances. But as Soltanoff points out, what makes the performance piece stand out is his unique approach to the material, using multiple, different forms of technological media.
"'LA Party' makes use of something I like to call video puppetry—it takes six of us to create one video image of a human being—and the audience watches us create this the whole time," he says. "The concept is quite simple: The performance is a one man show with no man, only a video image created by the six of us in real time."
Although Soltanoff has never been to the Segerstrom before, his experiences so far with the staff have been impressive and he is excited to debut his show in Costa Mesa. "The Segerstrom has been very professional," he says. "I've done a great deal of touring in Europe and it reminds me of the some of the venues I've visited there. We're just glad to be here. A big thank you to the Segerstrom!"
Other theatrical performances to feature at the Off Center Festival include Sekou Sundaiata's show "blessing the boats: the remix"—which deals with a man's personal story regarding the emotional and physical challenges of facing kidney failure, Edgar Oliver will perform his biographical "Helen & Edgar," and Rinde Eckert's "Becoming Unusual…The Education of an Eclectic" will combine music, dramatic monologues, lectures and video presentations.
But the drama of the festival will be well-balanced with music, starting with the two-piece Australian band (by way of Berlin's underground rock scene) Die Roten Punkte, which is often described as a combination of The B-52s meets Kraftwerk and early Ramones. And towards the end of the festival will be Gilbert Castellanos and his jazz quintet. The talented trumpeter—who has worked with Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, and many others—will mark the first time that jazz will be featured as part of the festival.
In the past, artists who have debuted at the festival have experienced unanticipated positive response from the audience turnout. One example occurred when Reggie Watts evolved from the intimate space of Founder's Hall during his first appearance at the festival to the larger Concert Hall the next year in order to compensate for the high demand of tickets. "The Car Plays" on the Arts Plaza also had a long waiting list for tickets. And Dwyer believes that the demand for quality entertainment will continue to grow for this year's festival as well, especially when audiences will have the opportunity to meet the artists after the performances.
"There's pure entertainment, social and political commentary and moving stories of real life dramas," he stresses. "We ask that our audiences come expecting the unexpected, and hope and expect they will leave their festival performance entertained, thrilled and surprised. We also invite them to join us every night…to meet up with the performers in our Off Center Lounge in Leatherby's Café Rouge to socialize, talk about the shows, and just to have a good time at the Center."

I had the joy of hearing midwife Ina May Gaskin speak in Seattle and would like to offer my Ina May-signed copy of Birth Matters: A Midwife's Manifesta to one reader who wasn't lucky enough to have seen her in person!
(You can read my full account of Ina May Gaskin's presentation at Hobo Mama, and find Amy of Anktangle's take on her blog.)
Birth Matters is Ina May Gaskin's latest book, published just this year.
The book is described here as "a spirited manifesta showing us how to trust women, value birth, nurture families, and reconcile modern life with a process as old as our species."
I've resisted reading this copy so I don't ruin it for the winner, and I'm still in line for it at the library. But in a brief flip-through, I'm already entranced.
Don't you adore the cover? That's Ina May herself with her newborn son Samuel.
The book is worth $17 (plus the priceless autograph!), and I will gladly mail it anywhere in the world.
The contest ends June 6, because it's my anniversary and sounds pretty. I'll most likely even have gone through my next birth by then!
Here's my stalker-ish proof that I stood in line for the autograph!
You can purchase Birth Matters directly at Amazon or from your local bookseller. The list price is $16.95, though it's currently on sale at Amazon for $10.74 and eligible for free Super Saver Shipping.
For your own chance to win a signed copy of Birth Matters, enter in the comments below! Contest is open WORLDWIDE.
MAIN ENTRY: Tell me something you like about midwives. (It will be a little midwife love-fest!)

Has your landlord ever banned you from having your significant other sleep over, and if so, was it legal? Depends where you live, but in the case of one redditor who rents a basement from a home owner who told him his girlfriend wasn't welcome, it's against the law — probably. (In Alberta, where he lives, tenant's rights vary depending on your lease and how many rooms you share with your landlord.)
If your lease doesn't specify rules for overnight guests, you're likely in the clear, but it's probably still best to broach the topic with your landlord and/or roommates before you move in if you'll be sharing close quarters/thin walls. Awkward conversation? Maybe, but at least you won't end up feeling slut-shamed on the regular.

Hello there, folks!
Are you ever bored with the same old "Are you really kidding me?" 3D graphics in Cricket07? Well, finally, Ankit from PlanetCricket has released a Graphics Enhancer Modificiation (MOD) For Cricket07! If you've ever played GTA (Grand Theft Auto) and you know ENB Series, this is based on that. In GTA, ENB Series was used to enhance graphics, now the same ENB series source code has been used in Cricket07 to enhance it's graphics!
- HDR Lighting
- Real-time Reflections
- Bloom
- Colour Corrections
Just extract the contents of the .rar into the Cricket 07 root directory.
- Requires at least a graphic card with Shader 3.0 enabled.
- Hasn't been tested with Shader 2.0, so we cannot guarantee if it will work on graphic cards with shader 2.0.
- Compatible with all modified exe's (OMGAyush Cric12 and AbBh's Modified Exe).
- Compatible with all the patches made by CricketCastle.com.
- Try to Switch on Anti-Aliasing and set Details to High and enable Shadows in-game in System Setting.
- Post Screenshots of the game with the mod in this thread and also post a brief review along with it.
- To take Screenshots just Click the PrintScreen button and the screenshot will get stored automatically in the root directory in .bmp format.
- To Switch off effects ingame, Press Shift+F12.
In order to use the GFX Enhancer with Abbh's exe or OMGAyush Cric12.exe you guys need to paste the files twice in two different folders:
- Firstly at the root directory.
- Secondly at the Temp folder.
Further tips to get it correct:
- Temp folder is located here "C:UsersxyzAppDataLocalTemp" in Windows 7.
- Here "xyz" will be different according to your Windows username.
- You can alternatively locate it by typing "%temp%" without quotes in the Run Dialog Box. (This works with all versions of Windows)
- To bring up Run Dialog Box in Windows 7 Press Start Button+R.
Without Graphics Enhancer:
With Effects:
So you can see the difference! Now it's all upon you whether to use the graphic enhancer or not! Also, before making any negative comments, do check the TIPS given by me above the screenshots. This enhancer is compatible with all the patches we've made, and OMGAyush Cric12. It also works with clean Cricket07 installed!
What're you waiting for now? Ofcourse, the download link! It's free, and there's no survey or something like that! Just share the download link from below to unlock and download graphics enhancer for cricket07 via MediaFire!

Today, I cut out about a million denim hearts and squares for a couple of quilts I have planned. A certain little girl hung out with me and practiced her measuring:
(The trick, fellow four-year-olds, is to get the edge of your ruler flush with the edge of what you want to measure. Notice the impeccable form above).
I listened to
seven times, claims iTunes.
I went to the library and got both a Voltron AND a Thundercats DVD set, but I did not get the book the library ordered and put on hold for me about how to make Waldorf dolls, on account of the librarian was being very weird ("But Julie Finn has to be present to pick up her hold item." "Um, I'm Julie." "Do you have an ID?" "I have my library card." "Well..."). I'm not kidding you, she looked exactly like the ballot judge who gave me the loopy voting machine intro on Election Day.
I put some nifty little Valentine gifties up on my etsy shop:
I added some New Years' Resolutions to my list (gardening, and seed sprouting).
I got my partners for the Valentine's Classroom Card swap.
I made this weird but delicious chili-soup thing: You put in the veggie chili mix stuff, but then you put in all your leftover and freezer veggies and fill the pot the rest of the way up with veggie broth, and you get your partner to make up a batch of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free cornbread. Then you mix it all up in a little Pyrex bowl just for you:
I played DanceDance Revolution. A lot.
I ate some more cornbread with ginger jam.
And Willow is here now to remind me that it's Family Art time.
Ooh, and I think my coccyx has finally healed! Matt doesn't know it yet, but we are totally having sex tonight.

"I couldn't live with myself any longer. And this question arose without an answer:
who is the 'I' that cannot live with the self? What is the self?"
-Eckhart Tolle
who is the 'I' that cannot live with the self? What is the self?"
-Eckhart Tolle
I use to go to a Lyme disease support group once a month. I really enjoyed the group. It was there that I met Alix and Kim from SpiroChicks and Scott Forsgren, the Better Health Guy, as well as a myriad of other Lymies who I felt a camaraderie with.
Over the winter I moved and I hadn't been able to make it to a meeting again until this past Tuesday.
The topic was the Mind-Body Connection. One of the ladies in the group had read the book Mindsight by Daniel Siegel.
Siegel combines Western neuroscience with Eastern meditation in an exciting exploration of how a troubled mind can right itself. Drawing on current science and case studies, Siegel, a clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine, reinforces the idea that the power of reflection allows us to approach, rather than withdraw, from whatever life brings us.
The book itself sounded interesting. I have read about how stress and distress can make you physically ill. This is one of the things I explored with a psychotherapist before I was diagnosed with Lyme. She agreed it was an important aspect but she knew that there was more to my illness than just this. Gotta love the shrink who tells you, "You are sick, but it is not all in your head".
It was the discussion that was opened up by the topic that had a profound effect on me though. The Self and the importance of Clan to your healing.
I was stunned by the realization that I give no time to my "Self" and I don't have a Clan.
The Self-
Where does the Self exist? I have no idea. To be honest the whole idea is more than I can really comprehend. It is like the question, "Where does the Universe end?". You know that the universe doesn't end; it is everywhere and forever. At the same time you can't really visualize that as reality.
Some people believe that the Self exists in the heart center. This feels right to me. Not only does it feel right, but feeling this makes me feel more grounded. I spend a lot of time living in my head. Living in that state makes me feel disassociated from my body, or maybe it is more than that, I am disassociated from my Self.
I am always trying to work things out, to figure and to fix. I rarely if ever take the time to just be and to accept.
You are probably asking what in the world this has to do with my health. By letting go of the frantic workings of my mind; the worries, the fears, the obligations… If I can just stop, just be, I feel myself relax, my mind becomes calm. The stress and the worry melt away. Miraculously things become clearer, my mind can function better. There is no doubt that this is a much better, much healthier state to be in. I need to learn to connect with and respect my Self.
I have a lot of friends… on facebook. I have a good family, we all care about one another.
This is not the same as having a "Clan". A true clan is having people you can depend on, who understand you and accept you. People you can open up to and really share your life and your feelings with. A Clan is more than just a few people, a Clan is a large functioning social network. The Clan needs to include people who exist physically in your life, not just online.
To be honest, I don't know if I have ever had this in my whole life. Sadly I have always prided myself on not needing anyone. I thought I was strong. Now I can see that "strength" was actually fear and my pride was a wall to keep me from getting hurt. I realized this Tuesday night when the LLMD who facilitates the group told us to ask for answers from our hearts not our heads.
As we continued to talk about Clan, aura and energy came up. Recognizing the people in your life who fill you up and those who are toxic. We need to surround ourselves with people who give us energy and to avoid those who steal it.
This is a really hard realization to face. What do you do when you know without a doubt that your relationship with best friend or your family members are toxic? Can you really give up those relationships?
I remained completely open as the meeting went on , but I was a little in shock. I have some major things in my life that I need to work on. Pills and potions aren't going to cure me alone. I need to take an active role in my healing. I thought I was but now I realize I was going about it all wrong.
I'm often commended for my positive outlook and for not letting this disease or life get me down. It's true, I don't, another thing I have always been proud of. Unfortunately what I realize now is that even here I am hiding behind that wall. Fooling everyone including myself. My attitude has come more from avoidance than truth.
So what do I do now? I am "little girl lost", I don't know my Self and I don't have a Clan.
Finding Self, I know how to do. Sticking with it is the hard part. I've had glimpses of my Self in the past. Sometimes the truths there are hard to accept. Perhaps that is why I have always given over to my mind which has allowed me to avoid the realities of accepting what my Self has to say.
As for finding a Clan, I have no idea where to start. I don't work and I'm currently not the active person I use to be. Where am I supposed to find these Clan members? And then there is the fear of not being accepted. This is an issue that stems from my childhood and teen years. Suffice it to say, kids can be mean. You know that elementary school comeback "I'm rubber, you're glue, what ever you say bounces of me and sticks to you"? I never had that rubber armor. I was just glue. Everything rubber said stuck to me and added to that wall.
I am determined to break down my wall. I can see how it is negatively affecting my life. I can also see how much fuller my life could be without it and how that in turn would positively affect my health.

Packages of interventions
Family planning, safe abortion care, maternal, newborn and child health
The evidence shows that high maternal, perinatal, neonatal and child mortality rates are associated with inadequate and poor quality health services. Evidence also suggests that explicit, evidence-based, cost effective packages of interventions can improve the processes and outcomes of health care when appropriately implemented.
This document describes the key effective interventions organized in packages across the continuum of care through pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, newborn care and care of the child. The packages are defined for community and/or facility levels in developing countries and provide guidance on the essential components needed to assure adequacy and quality of care.

Answers to Recreation League FAQ's
1. What is Recreation League soccer?
ASA offers two levels of competition: recreation (rec) and travel. In the rec level, any child may play, regardless of experience. Many of our youngest players have had no experience at all. Most ASA players are Alexandria City residents, but non-city residents are welcome to register also. (An additional $35.00 non-resident fee is assessed to non-resident players each season.)
The rec league consists of two seasons: fall and spring. Registration for the year (two seasons fall and spring) begins in early May 15 and ends early September . Practices begin early September. Registration for the Spring only season begins in November with practices beginning in early March. Usually teams stay together from fall to spring. Some teams have stayed together from U5 through U19.
2. Where do Recreation League teams play?
Games: For each season, each age-group is assigned a specific game field within the City of Alexandria. Each scheduled game is played at that assigned field, although start times may vary from game to game. Most games are scheduled for Saturday mornings with first games starting at 8:00 or 9:00 AM and the following games starting through mid-day. Rescheduled make-up games are scheduled for Sunday's. Game times are arranged by the age-group coordinators, and during the seasons most teams will have varied start times each Saturday. Games usually last about an hour.
Practices: All rec coaches are volunteers and are typically parents or guardians of a player on that team. Coaches have the opportunity to request their practice field location and times of practice through the ASA office. Practice fields are located across the City of Alexandria, often on school grounds, and are assigned to ASA each season by Alexandria's Department of Parks and Recreation. As ASA tries to group players on teams near where they live, practice fields are often within easy driving distance of home. Teams usually hold a 1 hour practice during the week. ASA encourages parents and guardians of young players to be present throughout each practice.
Practices for the fall season begin in early-September, with the first of 8 games scheduled for mid-September and the last game scheduled for early November. In the fall season our youngest age-group of U5s play a shortened season of 7 games in order to give them an extra week of practice.
Practices for the spring season begin mid-March, with the first of 8 games scheduled for the end of March to early April, and the last game scheduled for the end of May. In the fall and spring seasons our youngest age-group of U5s play a shortened season of 7 games in order to give them an extra week of practice.
See the current season's calendar located at the "Recreation" drop-down menu tab at the top of the main page.
ASA makes every attempt to form teams by neighborhood. That is why we ask to know the Alexandria City School closest to your home, whether your child attends that school or not. Depending on how many players register, different neighborhoods will have different numbers of teams. Age-group coordinators work hard to place children as close as possible to their home neighborhoods. Coordinators also match volunteer parent-coaches with their neighborhood, and always place the coach's child on that team.
One of our goals is for each child to participate in at least half of every game. That is why we limit the size of teams.
6. How much does it cost to register?
Player fees for the Spring 2017 season are as follows:
PreK to 2nd Grade (U5-U8)
If registering during registration period from 11/07/16 through 02/27/17
PreK to 2nd Grade (U5-U8)
If registering during the late registration period from 02/28/16 through 03/13/17
3rd to 6th Grade (U9-U12)
If registering during registration period from 11/07/16 through 02/27/17
3rd to 6th Grade (U9-U12)
If registering during the late registration period from 02/28/17 through 03/13/17
If registering during the early registration period from 11/07/16 through 02/27/17
If registering during the late registration period from 02/28/17 through 03/13/17
These registration fees include the one season Alexandria City field fee of $10.
City of Alexandria non-resident fee ($35 fee per season):
(Zipcodes other than 22301, 22302, 22304, 22305, 22311, 22312, 22313 and 22314 must pay this fee, however PLEASE NOTE that some of these listed zipcodes are members of the Alexandria section of Fairfax County and therefore NOT within the City of Alexandria, and must also pay the non-resident fee).
per season
7. Does my child need a uniform or other equipment, and if so what are the fees?
Yes. A uniform is required to play in any U5-U12 ASA game. You may order and pay for your uniform items along with your registration fees. You may also register by the deadline, and then later visit the ASA office during office hours to choose and pay for your uniform items.
Either way you will have to come to the office to claim your uniform items, and you may exchange sizes at any time as long as the item has not been worn or washed. The office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Prior to the start of each season the office is also open for three nights from 6:00pm-8:00 pm. If you are unable to visit the office during any of these times, please call us and we can make other arrangements for uniform pickup.
The set of red and blue performance shirts is only available for purchase through ASA. You may purchase the other uniform items elsewhere, but we offer them for sale in the office for your convenience. All players should have a soccer ball to bring to practices. Coaches will supply the game ball for the team.
For new SFL players (U13-U19), uniforms are available to order online, but are not stocked in the ASA office. See prices below.
For any age group, shin guards are mandatory at practice and games.
Description Fee
(Set of 2 performance shirts: red and blue)
20.00 SHORTS (black): 12.00 SOCKS (black): 6.00 SHIN GUARDS: 6.00 BALL: 15.00 SFL JERSEY 20.00 SFL SHORTS 12.00 SFL SOCKS 8.00
Ball sizes: U5-U8 Size 3; U9-U12 Size 4; U13-U19 Size 5
Additional ASA spirit wear is available for purchase in the office.
8. What does U5 or U6 or "U"any other number" mean?
The "U" designation refers to an age-group. Each Fall a new age-group of U5's is added, making up ASA's youngest players.
See item 16 below for an explanation of what happens when co-ed U6 teams advance to all-boy or all-girl U7 teams.
In Fall the previous Spring's U12 age-group usually advances to the Suburban Friendship League and is designated U13 or U14. The SFL is still part of ASA's recreation league, but gives players the opportunity to be matched against SFL teams from nearby areas such as Annandale and Falls Church. Half of the season's games are played within Alexandria, and half in nearby areas. Teams are larger, field size is larger, rules may change somewhat, but our SFL players thrive with the changes. SFL comprises the U13/14 age-groups up through U19 and accepts players by birth year.
The current season's age-groups and their coordinators are located at the "Recreation"drop-down menu tab at the top of the main page.
9. Are there any age restrictions?
Yes. Recreation league age-groups are structured by date of birth, NOT by grade in school. A list of all current age-groups and their coordinators is located at the "Recreation" drop-down menu tab at the top of the main page.
10. Can I request my child be placed on a specific team or with specific friends?
Requests can be made but not guaranteed.
11. How can I help my child's team?
Each team needs a coach and an assistant coach. In addition, a parent usually volunteers as a team manager to schedule snacks, orange slices and take charge of the end-of-season party. Each season coaches have the opportunity to choose their practice field location and times of practice through the online ASA field request process.
If you are interested in volunteering as coach or assistant coach of your child's team, you may do so on-line as you register your player. Each coach and assistant coach must submit a completed "KidSafe form" to the ASA office prior to the start of that season. This document is used to run a background check in accordance with regulations from ASA's guiding group, the Virginia Youth Soccer Association (VYSA). You can complete the KidSafe form on-line as you volunteer, or the ASA office can email this form to coaches. The forms will also be available at the Coaches Meetings in both fall and spring seasons. No coach or assistant coach may attend a practice or game without first submitting a completed KidSafe form to the ASA office.
Coaches of each age-group work with an age-group coordinator, who is also a volunteer and usually a parent or guardian of a player in that age-group. The age-group coordinator places players on teams, places coaches with teams and sets up the game schedule.
There are three ways to register:
Register online (preferred) as it saves paper and eliminates many hours of database entry and check processing.
1. Online at www.alexandria-soccer.org with a Master Card, Discovery Card or Visa.
Click on the Registration Link. Spring online registration is available starting 11/07/16 and ends 03/13/17. To complete your online registration, birth certificates must be sent (and received in the office by 03/13/17) by email, fax or mailed to ASA, 1108 Jefferson Street, Alexandria, VA 22314. If the birth certificate is not received in the office by 03/13/17 the registration will be incomplete and the player will not be placed on a team.
2. By mail with a check or money order.
Print form and instructions from the website at www.alexandria-soccer.org. Mail-in registration is available starting 11/07/16. Mail to ASA, 1108 Jefferson Street, Alexandria, VA 22314.
3. In person at the office with cash, check, credit card, or money order. Print forms at home or come to the office and fill them out there.
The office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Each season the office is also open one evening from 6:00pm-8:00 pm. See the current season's calendar located at the "Recreation" drop-down menu tab at the top of the main page.
13. What is the deadline for registration?
The deadline for completed registrations is 03/13/17. Please note that the cost of registration is less if you register during the registration period from 11/07/16 through 02/27/17, and increases during the late registration period from 02/28/17 through 03/13/17. See Item 6 above.
"Complete" registrations include the registration form, birth certificate or passport, and payment. Whether mailed, delivered or filled out on-line, the complete registration must be received in the office (not post-marked) by 03/13/17. Any registration not complete by 03/13/17 will be considered incomplete and the player will not be assigned to a team.
Please note that the Birth Certificate or Passport copy is due to the office by 03/13/17 at the same time as the Registration Form. If the Registration Form is turned in and the Birth Certificate is NOT turned in, it will be considered an incomplete registration and the player will not be assigned to a team.
Please keep in mind that age-group coordinators (NOT coaches) determine if there is a need for additional players on any team within the age-group.
14. What is the policy on refunds?
ASA will make refunds before the first game of the season. No refunds are given after the first week of games. Please make any refund requests by email to email@example.com.
15. Does ASA offer financial aid?
Financial aid is available for both registration and uniform fees. (Financial aid is not available for the City Field Fee or Non-Resident Fee.) Our aid program is based on the same criteria as the Alexandria City Public School Lunch Program. A copy of your player's enrollment in the lunch program is required for aid consideration.
Please note that registrants applying for financial aid may complete their household information online, but must submit a printed Registration Form, birth certificate or passport, and payment, directly to the office. The online registration site is not able to process financial aid.
Once the player's Alexandria City Public School Free Lunch program enrollment letter is received in the ASA office, the financial aid available is:
For Spring 2017:
U5-U19: $50 registration fee 11/07/16 through 02/27/17 - $60 registration fee 02/28/17 through 03/13/17.
Uniform items are additional, at the following prices for U5-U12 age-groups:
Shirts (Set of 2 performance shirts: red and blue) - $15.00
Shorts (black) - $12.00
Socks - $6.00
Shin guards - $6.00
Ball - $15.00
16. When do teams change from being co-ed teams to being all boy or all girl teams?
In the fall of each year, the U6 Spring co-ed teams advance to U7Boy or U7Girl teams. As each U6 co-ed team separates into same sex teams, there is a need for new coaches. If your female child's U6 team coach was the parent of a boy on the team, (got that??), then the girls on that U6 team will either need a new coach to stay together, or will be separated and placed on other U7Girl teams. Conversely, if your male child's U6 team coach was the parent of a girl on the team, then the boys on that U6 team will either need a new coach to stay together, or will be separated and placed on other U7Boy teams.
Either way, the fall season for new U7 teams is a time of opportunity for parents to volunteer to coach (or become the coordinator of the new "vacant" age-group).
17. What happens after I register my child?
Upon completion of registration, you will be contacted by your coach after the coaches meeting. You will be notified, by your coach, with information regarding practice locations/times/game schedules, etc. For continuing players, it is very likely that you will be placed on your same team as the previous season. However, there are circumstances, such as coaching changes, where it is necessary to re-shuffle teams. We strongly encourage parents/guardians to always consider volunteering as a coach or assistant coach.

How To Easily Find Information on Your E39 Topic Before Posting a New Thread
Having been a member of this forum for awhile, I have noticed that many newer members post up a thread regarding their issue, question or problem without doing any research on their topic. Often times, these topics have been repeatedly addressed in the past and the responses are well documented (see the wiki). Long-time frustrated forum members often respond to these same questions/topics with a sarcastic or curt response (Do a search!), which then makes the new member feel unwelcomed and may hinder future contribution. This is counterproductive to the long term quality of this forum which relies on contributions from anyone to reach the "best" answer, which often is not the same for everyone.
What I would like to do here is to provide some short, clear guidance for new members on how to best search for the information/answer they are seeking. If these methods do not result in a satisfactory result, then feel free to post up a new thread. While these tips may seem to be common sense for most folks, I suspect that many new members are unaware of how to best find information on the e39. Given that I have somewhat limited computer skills, I invite everyone, especially BlueBee, to add to this thread to provide their tips and tricks for others to find their answers.
1. Searching this Forum Pretty much every topic regarding the e39 has been addressed in one form or another already. Much of this information, including DIYs are located in the wiki. Top search this forum:
a. Click the search tab arrow on the black bar above.
b. Click on Advanced Search
c. Identify any specific keywords you want to find in the Keyword box. Use "quotes" to find a specific phrase like "secondary air pump" or "Vanos seals".
d. If you know the user name associated with the thread or post, input that under User Name box.
e. In the Search In Forum box, scroll down to E39 (1997-2003) and highlight it.
f. You can limit your search by specifying constraints in the Find Threads With or Find Posts With boxes.
g. Click Search Now and it will generate your results.
2. Searching the Web Google is your friend. A search will yield other BMW forums that may provide a better answer to your question. I personally think the 'Fest is the best, but that's just my $0.02.
I would like to ask that folks do not post any comments (good or bad) on this thread other than adding to the list of ways to find an answer. This will keep the thread shorter and more focused and efficient. If you have any comments or criticisms to what I am doing here, please start another thread and flame away !
Sticky please!
For me, I have found google searching better than forum searching and if you want to google this specific site use the following in the google search field:
site:bimmerfest.com with your search word and it will confine the search to this site only. i.e. site:bimmerfest.com secondary air pump returns any results with secondary or air or pump. Whereas, "secondary air pump" with the quotes yields ONLY those three words consecutively within a thread/post.
Also, I find less is more for the first search i.e. search for "pump" first before searching for secondary air pump. Sometimes people refer to the secondary air pump as S.A.S., SAS. The same can apply to the FSU aka Final Stage Unit aka blower resistor aka Final Stage resistor.
Finally, I find the first search should not be limited to the E39 forum as there are common issues and parts across the model lines that sometimes you can find M62 issues in the E38 forum and M52/M54 issues in the E46 forums.
Problem I see with the suggestion above is many newbies don't know this about cross platforms or what some things are called.
Another problem at times is when we suggest do a search, the future posts of certain members say, "don't ask me to search or google it in the first line of their post. Stating "what is the point of interacting on the forum if all I need to do is search? I want to interact with you guys" So, they feel it is their right to ask the same question even if it is for the 1000th time. Followed by stating, if you don't like the question, move on and don't answer the thread. So lately, I do just that, ignore the thread and move on so someone else can deal with it.

Always search the bestlinks first, before posting a new thread!
Please make your 1st search a simple /keyword click within the bestlinks thread BEFORE posting a new thread!
Note: This fast & efficient technique searches 'only' within that one thread.
It takes about two or three seconds to find the best of the links on any topic!
You'll know right away if it's a common subject or not - and - if it's common, you'll know exactly what everyone else knows & says about that subject. Better yet, if it's not a common subject, you'll know that too (by the dearth of links).
If, after reading the best links found, you still need help, you can read focus your followup post on your variant in that existing well-attended thread.
Besides having subscribers, these focus threads generally have plenty of pictures and cross references. Many of the odd-ball whacko ideas & misconceptions have already been culled out by sheer numbers of eyes viewing these threads (many have over fifty thousand viewers, and some have over one hundred thousand viewers!).
In practice, even if the quoted links aren't 'the best' (at first), with inevitable additional cross-threading, picture posts, & thousands upon thousands of visitors, these links tend to become, over time, a one-stop-shopping resource!
The 'trick' I use in Firefox to instantly find the best of the links is: /keyword (F3).
That is, I simply press /keyword in that bestlinks thread; and then I repeatedly press the "F3" button to move forward to successive matches ("shift F3" to move backward).
Use "control F keyword" in Internet Explorer.
Use "command F keyword" on the Macintosh.
Linux is the same as Windows.
In practice, it's best to set your posts-viewed to the maximum allowed so a single search finds all:
Note: So that others find this thread more easily, I'll add it to the bestlinks in a keyword-rich sentence of the ilk:

Last edited by bluebee; 01-14-2012 at 08:07 AM. Reason: Added a visusal screenshot to help make the point.
I received a PM from an experienced user who wasn't aware of the multiple ways to do a search 'within' a thread.
This screenshot was drawn to help in show two ways to search within any thread for a keyword within that thread.
Please read the suggested threads and add value, either by pictures or by descriptions, so the next person stands on your shoulders.

Thanks, Fudman. I'm sure many of us will be linking back to this thread. Also, Bluebee's suggestion to use the browser search function within a page or a thread is helpful. For the Mac users among us, the key combination "command f" brings up the search function. In Safari, it's a little search window at the top of the page with forward and back arrows. In Firefox, it appears at the bottom of the screen.
BMW--giving new meaning to the phrase "disposable income."
Bump ... Sticky please. As a newbie (to this forum) this is extremely valuable. I think most folks do spend sometime searching before posting; if they can do it intelligently it will reduce the number of repeat questions.
Definitely great information to know! Must be made a sticky. Glad to know that I am not the only one with low searching skills.
This has probably already been mentioned, but the advanced search feature, in addition to giving you the option of searching for keywords by thread titles or all posts, also has a couple checkboxes at the bottom of the search screen that give the option of filtering the hits by "threads" or "posts" that contain all keywords. I find this particularly useful.
Thanx, Propellerhead for stickying this thread!
Using the tips and tricks mentioned above, I would suggest that folks start their searches with:
1. the VERY Best of E39 Links
2. E39 faq
This information is also complemented by the View the E39 Wiki in the header above.
These three areas contain virtually every major DIY and discussion on relevant problems and topics WRT E39s. If you can't find what you need there, these links may help you to better understand the complexities of your problem or issue so that when you post your next thread, it can be more specific. Don't forget to add E39 model, MY, mileage and any other relevant info when you start a thread so that other folks can better understand the situation and hopefully better help you out! And lastly, PLEASE post a conclusion to your threads so that you add to the collective experience and we can all learn from your experiences.
Drive on!
These five search approaches work well (links provided below):
1. E39 Bestlinks
3. E39 Wiki
4. Bimmerfest Search (see efficiency-details below)
5. Google Search (both on www.google.com & on images.google.com)
Please read the suggested threads and add value, either by pictures or by descriptions, so the next person stands on your shoulders.

Regarding the "Bimmerfest" search ... Here's an efficient-search technique I often employ:
While most issues have at least one 'canonical' thread listed in the bestlinks or the wiki or the FAQ - each of which has had thousands of eyes on it ... 'some' issues are not (yet) listed in the easily-found locations.
When that happens, what "I" often do next is a ...
Bimmerfest-only E39-only Title-Only search:
Optionally, select "Find Threads Started by User" and then type a well-known user's ID such as any of the following who write excellent DIYs & comments:
And, below, I list the firefox settings I use for efficient tab handling when culling out the riffraff from extensive search results:

Got it.
Hey ohbmw what city are u in ?
Sent from my PG86100 using Bimmer App
I realized a new technique today to 'save' for later the results of an extensive search.
Let's say you've run a search and found, oh, let's say a dozen or more articles of interest (which is typical).
In Firefox, there is no longer a menu item to save all open tabs to a bookmark folder.
But ... if you simply right click on any one of the dozen open tabs, you will see a menu item called:
- Bookmark All Tabs
A form will pop up asking you for a folder name.
This way you can save the results from your searches for use later. Works for me, mainly because I read dozens of references on any particular topic of interest ... but YMMV, as always.
Please read the suggested threads and add value, either by pictures or by descriptions, so the next person stands on your shoulders.
See also: E39 Bestlinks & How to easily find what you need
In addition, I just realized another useful technique to most efficiently narrow the results of a bimmerfest search when the bestlinks has nothing to offer the users.
Take the 'engine failsafe' error that "540 M-Sport" had today:
-> E39 (1997 - 2003) > 2001 540 "Engine Fail Safe"
I ran a quick "/engine failsafe" in the bestlinks, only to find, much to my chagrin, nothing was found! (oh, the horror!)
So, I ran a quick "advanced" selecting E39-only title-only search for "engine failsafe", which found 23 threads of interest.
To zero in on the 'best' thread, I sorted the results by number of views. The assumption is that a thread with only, say, 10 to 100 views might not have had enough 'eyes' on it to fully flesh out the problem or to weed out the inevitable bad advice. However, a thread with, say, ten thousand views, should have most of the bad advice weeded out and most of the good advice suggested.
As always, YMMV.
Please read the suggested threads and add value, either by pictures or by descriptions, so the next person stands on your shoulders.

Just for the record, the position of the forum stickies changes depending on which thread has last been updated - but - since there are only 3 stickies overall - it shouldn't be too hard for people to find 'em!
EDIT: By way of example, this post brought the sticky back up to the top of the three:

Last edited by bluebee; 12-22-2012 at 06:08 PM. Reason: Added information
Just for the record, by now, most topics are represented in the bestlinks, so what I've been doing strategically, to maintain the links with new information, is:
a) I choose one thread on bimmerfest to be 'canonical' (this is a subjective decision which is not infallible)
b) The reason the canonical thread must be on bimmerfest, is so that we can cross reference to all the other existing threads
c) If the canonical thread is not on Bimmerfest, then I CREATE a thread on bimmerfest, referencing the canonical thread elsewhere <=== in practice, this rarely happens simply because Bimmerfest has most topics covered by now
d) In addition, as new information comes in, I cross reference BACK to that canonical thread.
e) I make sure, at least in the canonical thread, that all links (e.g., to Ebay or Amazon) have persistent SCREENSHOTS
f) So, that way, at least that one thread references all other threads, and the important things are captured for posterity.
g) In the event that the one thread wasn't the BEST, it soon becomes so, simply because it has everything easily linked to it.
h) In general, that canonical thread is the FIRST in the list of references in the bestlinks (e.g., - How to do blah blah blah (1) (2) (3) <=== The canonical thread is (1)).
Note: In the past, when new links came about after the 60-day editing period expired for a post on the bestlinks, I merely reproduced the reference with new numbers [e.g., the reference grew from "- How to do blah (1) (2) (3)" to "- How do do blah (1) (2) (3) (4) (4) (6)"]; but repeating links grew too repetitive and cumbersome over time - so that's why I implemented the new system described above, which eliminates the need for new links.
Please read the suggested threads and add value, either by pictures or by descriptions, so the next person stands on your shoulders.

Google searche
If a person honestly can't google searche a specific malfunction/desire/question than they really need to learn what "keyword" search is. PLEASE! For the life of us all, learn KEYWORD SEARCH. Whether it is on google or within a forum.

Only Leggings provides free economy shipping on all orders Over $25.00 - USA Only
NOTE: Orders are taking up to 48 hours to ship. Most orders are being shipped the same day but some may be shipped the next day, or in extreme cases, within 48 hours. Maintaining our dedication to fast reliable service is important to us so we are trying to ensure the fastest service during these challenging times.
Only Leggings sends out most orders (98%+) on the same day that your order is placed if it is placed by 2:30 pm PST. We are proud of our industry leading service level on ensuring your order gets out to you fast and accurately. Some restrictions do apply. These restrictions are as follows:
1. Large orders that require some additional processing time (1 day), however, even most large orders we are still able to get get them out on a same day basis.
2. Items that are out of stock.

If not, we will send out your order and place the item(s) on back order and send it out to you when it arrives. NOTE, there are no extra shipping charges. We pay for the additional delivery.
3. USPS / UPS / FedEx Errors. There are times where USPS and UPS make errors on their part. In these cases we cannot be responsible for delays caused by their circumstances. Often times this can be weather related or volume related but in most cases, you will have a tracking number from either delivery service so that you may track your order.
4. Technical Errors or Address Errors: Only Leggings cannot perform same day shipping if there is a technical error in your order due to software or network issues or if an address has been entered incorrectly. In these cases Only Leggings will contact you to get the correct information and send out your order immediately.
5. On Sundays and Holidays, there is no shipping as USPS and UPS do not operate however, your order is still printed, filled and completed for the next business day's morning pickup by UPS and USPS.
6. The City you live in can affect shipping times. Major cities have the fastest delivery times and because we are in Los Angeles, major cities close to Los Angeles can have even faster delivery times (sometimes 1 Day). Smaller cities outside of major ones can take an 1 (one) extra day because USPS and UPS consider that to be an extra leg.
Shipping Days are Monday - Saturday(USPS). Sundays and Holidays are NOT Included When Calculating Expected Delivery.
