this weekend sobe will be full of Swim fashion shows and bikini models. iTs The Swim show.. i will be down!

holy shit!

i did not buy the cookbook but went off the website. i lost 15lbs on the southbeach diet. it works! if i can do this, than anyone can do it. now two of my friends started a couple weeks ago and they have both lost 6- 10lbs each respectively.

he's sick.. i wish he was in chicago next weekend

paragon will be one of the few stores that will be selling themin the usa. (but they wont be here for another 10-14 days) The Manufactuer has a very limited distribution, but is selling direct to public. i believ ther is a phone number on the website.

www.flexmeterusa.com was featured in the NYtimes a couple weeks ago.. Designed/created and developed by a doctor; made with Dupont products. i actually just bought a gross for the store but they probably wont be on the floor for another two weeks or so. (paragon is part of the limited distribution because its mainly a direct to consumer product) and no, i havent forgot about you...... just unbelievably busy... i am leaving for a trade show later this week..

that was probably one of the most ignorant comments i have ever read on this board..

actually there are too energies. the one you are thinking of is the Juniors brand that major dept stores carry .. the one he mentioned is under the Miss Sixty umbrella i really like Joie vintage jeans right now.. its one of my favorite lines so i am a bit partial.. but i agree that Juicy probably has one of the best fitting jeans out there.. I also like James Jeans and Yanuk (for different pocket styling) but citizens, my old sevens and miss sixty jeans are still in my rotation in january the stores will start carrying a new line called "paige premium denim" I have to admit that I am curious to try a pair on bc of its interesting story behind the company.. the creator/founder was the fit model discovered by the designer of Sevens and now Citizens (jerome dahan (sp) ) and was THE fit model in premium denim (blue cult, joes jeans, etc).

although the ohter rumor is the manny for piazza.. i will march to boston and hunt theo epstein down if that happens ... i am not opposed to letting manny (and his huge contract go) but i would like to get a player of equal talent.

pedro - the mets new mo vaughn :laugh:

very nice. la perla???

no i totally understand and agree what you are saying.. the only thing i would like to point out that is that you are correct that The NCAA basketball tourney is the biggest money maker but its for the the NCAA organization itself.. not the individual schools. schools have much more $$ to lose going into a playoff format than guarenteed money from the current system. but no. i totally see your pov

matt bought this spray stuff (sorta like febreeze) that gets the wrinkles out.. he loves it.. he says it really works too but i forget the name

i would think there is a stronger correlation of decrease in productivity vs the day of the week.. my old job was casual and my new job is business casual and honeslty i dont think there is any difference in productivity.

no mattere how much ppl cry for a playoff, it wont happen. When the networks were negotiating/bidding for the BCS tv package, they rejected the additional game format (where there is a four team playoff with an additional game for an actual Championship game) because it would diminish the value (sponsors and commercial advertising) of the other games. too much money involved. plus, what would we argue about if we didnt have a BCS like format hahaa jk. although i agree that Auburn definitely got jipped (afterall, gotta stay true to the SEC) , the only reason i would not like to see a playoff is it would diminish the regular season. and "every game counts" i think thats what creates that special aura about college football and "life or death" on a weekly basis. idk,, just my opinion

a very happy belated bday girl! ( i havent been around )

the irish def did get screwed.. good.. i liked willingham but always hated ND.. With the coaching caroseoul at full tilt, i am sure TW will land at a top program very shortly

i also went to UF and share your same grievances... it was a total double standard - spurrier vs meyer only i differ bc a) i wanted spurrier to return and am happy with who ended up with. i actually half joked arond that I was going to plop down the $12K to become a Bull Gator so i can go face to face with Foley myself but on the bright side, i am glad that we scored Meyer over Notre Dame. ( i was torn between him and Butch Davis, although Stoops would be my first) I am already anxiously awaiting for next season. Leak and the remaining players seem pretty amped too.. i just hope that Fason returns! note: it also appears that zook will end up at Illinois. I guess the fightin illini like to take our leftovers (first fired uf coach to go to Illinois being Lon Krueger)

another brand that is up and coming is Trunk ltd ed tees (they jsut had a write up in dnr or wwd) . vintage rock is pretty big and will be even bigger next spring. trunk tees

nope. american. look at one of your labels.. i believe its actually a new york company btw they are having sample sales this weekend

after being a 5 year nextel customer i just switched over to verizon yesterday.. Although i had good service with my pyhone, thought nextel has a great customer service and happy with my plan... i thought their phnes were always one step behind. (plus my bf may live in the only place that does not get nextel service) so here is my new phone.. so far i am pretty psyched about the phone and the features...

thats cuz d&g and versace are cut and styled for europeans.. I am guessing that you probably have to size up in their clothes in comparison to american designed clothes? diesel at least recognizes the "american customer" and cuts styles for the us guy

i thnk H&M is more like "Hit or Miss" but actually i went to the new H&M ton 57 abnd Lex today and was amazed. i thought the womens assortment looked great. i know what i am buying (fast fashion, cheap!!) so i dont have high expectations on the quality.. but i have some pieces from there that i constantly get compliments or "where did you get that" and some really unique pieces that i have never seen from any other line, designer or brand. (note: i usually just stick to tops... id rather spend $$ on quality pants, skirts, etc) the H&m in the burbs.. i wouldnt even bother... my favorite one is actaully the 5th ave one across from St patricks (which is their flagship store). Just last week they launched their Karl Lagerfield (chanel, fendi) line and it sold out that day ! btw... to answer your question.. H&M worldwide and they make money the Walmart way.. mass merchandising! except i believe their american stores have not posted a profit, yet.

thats what i tihnk too.. which sucks bc i what i wanted to do was buy a new phone off ebay and just switch my sim card from old to new. that is what i did when i bought my i90, i paid comprable to what the promotional retail was and i didnt have to renew a contract nor pay for transfer fee! i dont think i will be able to get around that if i switch up to i730 or newer.

is the sim card from the old i90 compatible with the newer phones? i want a new phone but i dont want to lock in for another 2 years with nextel.
