|In response to Re: Relocation of toilet by only 3"
: : : We are trying to upgrade a bath in which we have very little room to roam. The shower is currently about 5" from the edge of the toilet. A new shower enclosure will take up 3" more than the existing shower so we would like to move the toilet a small distance. I realize I will need to break or remove the existing pipe to the toilet. Is there a offset waste line which might work for me?
: : What type of material is your waste pipe made from??
: I am sure it is 4" metal pipe because the house was built about 1965. I have not been under the house however. I did go to my local Orchard supply and found that I could get two 4" plastic bends each of 45 degrees. When put together properly, it effectively does what I want. I also found a flex connector which could rejoin the metal and plastic as long as I break the metal low enough. What do you think?
I intended to say that I am sure the pipe under the house is 4" not 3".

A doctrine is something learned or taught–We couldn't ask for a greater mentor than designer Teresa Sung of Doctrine Jeans. She manages to show us just the way American premium Men's and Women's denim should be done through her unique washes and details in a hand-made jeans. Their range is wide, from slim jeans, to gaucho pants and capris. Doctrine's jeans all have a unique but subtle signature back pocket detail derived from their arrow logo. We showed you five ways to wear your Doctrine denim, and now you can read our exclusive interview below…
Denim Therapy: Lets start from the beginning. How did you know you wanted to be a designer?
Doctrine: I realized that I wanted to design after many years of working at product development and different technical aspects of the industry. As I became more involved in design and development of the denim category, I knew in my heart that I had the strongest desire to find out more about the markets, trends, fabric, silhouettes, etc… it was then that I knew then I wanted to design.
DT: Are there other denim brands you consider your immediate competition? How do you differentiate yourself from the hundreds of popular denim brands afloat right now?
Doctrine: At Doctrine Jeans we truly believe that patience is a virtue and this is what separates our brand from the others. We start our designs with thorough market research and carefully select our fabrications. With patience, we strive to get the most out of each chosen fabric after numerous tests and processes here at some of L.A.'s best laundry houses. It is important to determine the best fit for each particular fabric and then be meticulous about the design process. We feel this extra effort is essential to keep consistency in our fits and comfort, which ultimately is the most important thing!
DT: Do you have any pre-designing rituals?
Doctrine: We have a great design team where we put our teamwork first before anyone or anything. This allows us to work in cohesive environment where our creativeness comes about. We have our own conventional ways to prepare designs. We start out by researching the trends, concepts, colors, details, fabrics, and treatments then proceed, with precise and effective planning.
DT: Describe the person who represents your ideal target customer—the customer you have in mind when you're planning a collection.
Doctrine: My ideal customers are people who want to look and feel great in a pair of denim but also understand the value of good design, great fabrics, superior wash techniques, and excellent workmanship with attention to detail.
DT: Can you give us hint about what's next?
Doctrine: We just finished our fall line and in process of starting our SS2012. I want to give a twist in our spring/summer with light colors and lighter weights. I'm just excited to see how it's going to play out at the end.
DT: What would be your dream collaboration? Any plans of that in the future?
Doctrine: It's too early to tell right now since we are such a young company. I just want to be focused on what is working.
DT: What are the most popular washes/fits in the line? What are your favorites, and how would you style them?
Doctrine: Straights and slim straights are most popular fits for men's. And the popular washes are dark denims and dark stone washes with natural whiskers. As for women's, our "moto jeggings" is the most popular fit and we also offer super bellbottoms and gaucho which are drawing a lot of attention.
DT: Do you have any favorite/least favorite denim trends right now?
Doctrine: My favorite denim trend right now is flare jeans. You can dress up and look hot in great blouses and blazers. Also, I love wearing boyfriend fits. It's so relaxing and casual to wear!
DT: Street style and style blogs are huge in the industry right now as a source of inspiration, influencing the high-end labels rather than vice versa. How much does street style influence your designing?
Doctrine: Its influence is phenomenal and helpful when identifying new trends and developing the designs. Eclectic styles from the streets and comments from knowledgeable bloggers are inspirational. The fashion mix from an ever changing culture and the insights available by way of comment about their fashion tastes are refreshing and courageous as well as empirical.
DT: How many pairs of denim do YOU own?
Doctrine: Too many to count!
DT: Favorite celeb wearing your brand?
Doctrine: We have literally just had our first run of production for men's and many of the top celebrity stylists, representing the likes of Adrian Grenier, Jonas Bros, Ryan Seacrest and Zac Efron have all picked key styles.. As mentioned above – Doctrine Women's is being eagerly awaited by many stylists and female celebrity notables.
Check out their website and their facebook page to share your thoughts.

Modern Australian Women focuses on the outstanding work by Australia's great women artists of the modernist period. These superlative works, exploring form and colour in ways previously not attempted, reflect the challenging thinking of the time and leadership demonstrated by painters such as Clarice Beckett, Dorrit Black, Lina Bryans, Grace Crowley, Joy Hester, Kathleen O'Connor, Margaret Preston, Thea Proctor and Grace Cossington Smith. In their works, many of these women conveyed a modernist aesthetic link to the Australian landscape, its cities and people.

The 2009 high school baseball season kicked off for the Emery Spartans with two victories last week over Grand and Gunnison. Emery traveled to Moab on Monday and defeated the Devils 4-1 and on Wednesday kicked off their home season with a 16-15 win over the two-time defending state 2-A champions Bulldogs.
Grand scored first in the bottom of the first inning after a base hit and an Emery error. That turned out to be the only run of the day of Spartan pitcher Addison Collard. Collard did strike out two batters in that first inning on the way to an eight strikeout day.
In the top of third inning, Kash Jewkes got hit by a pitch, Gatlan Huntington walked and Jason Giles singled home Jewkes to tie the score. After a ground out advanced the runners, Huntington scored on a ball hit to the shortstop that was booted. Emery led 2-1.
The next inning Emery added two insurance runs. Taylor Tanner led off the inning with a double to left field and scored on a single by Derrick Allred. Jewkes and Huntington each singled and Allred also would score.
Emery finished the game with four runs on seven base hits with Tanner having two of those hits. Huntington had the only two walks of the game.
In the slugfest, error fest game with Gunnison on Wednesday, Emery took the early lead at 6-0 in the first two innings, lost that lead at 6-8 after the third inning and then grabbed it back in the bottom of the sixth inning.
In the bottom of the first, Huntington singled to right field, Giles was safe on an error by the catcher on a bunt, Colby Snow got hit by a pitch, Brett Mecham walked and Collard doubled as four runs scored. After two groundouts, Allred singled and scored Collard and Emery led 5-0 after the first inning.
In the second inning, Giles got hit by a pitch and would score. Snow singled to right centerfield for the RBI.
Gunnison scored a run in the third inning and nine more in the fourth inning off starting pitcher Brett Mecham. Five base hits including a homerun, two walks and an Emery error led to all the runs. Emery was held scoreless in the bottom of the third inning.
In the fourth inning, and Emery scored three runs as Emery narrowed the gap in the score. Snow led off the inning and got on base by an error on the first baseman and would later score. Collard also got on a base by an error and Nevin Jensen hit a triple to right centerfield to pick up two RBIs.
The runs continued piling on in the fifth inning as Gunnison would add four more and Emery would add three. Gunnison's runs came because of two walks, two singles and a triple. Emery's runs came because Mecham walked, Collard doubled, Jensen got on by a left fielder's error and Allred singled.
Gunnison scored one run in the top of the sixth inning but Emery added four runs in the bottom of the inning to grab a one run lead. In the inning, Huntington tripled to left centerfield; Giles singled to score Huntington but was thrown out at second base. Snow singled, Mecham got hit by pitch and Collard got on due to an error by the pitcher. Tanner had a sacrifice fly in the mix and Jensen was safe due to another error.
In the top of the seventh inning with Emery up in the score, Mecham struck out the first two batters, numbers three and four in the line-up who usually are pretty good hitters, and got the next batter to ground out on a ball hit back to the pitcher.
Emery scored 16 runs on 12 base hits and made eight errors. Gunnison scored 15 runs on 13 base hits and made four errors. Collard had two doubles in the game and Allred and Jewkes each had one. Jensen and Huntington each tripled in the ball game.
Emery will host Grand this Tuesday, will travel to Uintah on Wednesday and then will play in a tournament in Montrose, Colorado this Friday and Saturday.

"This is a great shoe! And I really like that it has grey netting, as it shouldn't show the dirt so fast. Very nice looking on my foot. Sad that this shoe is already sold out in my size in the other color as I was going to order another pair, because they felt so good on my poor, aching feet. Good support throughout the shoe."

Financial Literacy for College Students
Teaching financial literacy to a student is a necessary part of going to college, since college is a place for new experiences and a lot of firsts. That can be exciting but it also can be very expensive, especially if you're not careful with your money. The best approach is to plan ahead and create a 'college student budget'—a budget uniquely suited to your specific financial situation while in school. But if you've never been responsible for your own cash before, or had to truly watch what you spend, then the lesson can be a hard one to learn.
In light of that, a few lessons we learned the hard way (we ate a lot of Ramen in school too—mainly because we spent all of our money on stupid things):
Lesson #1: New Surroundings + Independence = Vacation-like Mindset
And what are vacations usually about? Overspending and having a stellar time. Unfortunately, college isn't a vacation. Still, new and even returning students often spend cash on campus like they're actually on a beach. Maybe it's the fact that they have a brand new bank account that's got a bit of money in it. Maybe they just got their loan disbursement and like the feeling of a full wallet (even if all the money is borrowed). However, loan disbursements have to last a whole semester and much of that money is spoken for before it even arrives: there's tuition, books, and rent to consider, after all. But the thrill of being in school, of having lots of friends nearby, of the constant desire to socialize, eat out, go to movies, et cetera—that's just a recipe for financial disaster.
Suggestion: Make a college student budget and stick to it. Factor in a few extra dollars a month for entertainment or a night on the town, but once you spend that, don't dip into other parts of your college student budget. Remember this mantra: the more you spend, the more you'll eventually have to borrow to maintain the cost of your education. And borrowed cash comes with interest, meaning every dollar you spend is more than a dollar you have to pay back. Stay cheap and get money-wise.
Lesson #2: College students are prime targets for identity theft.
There's a lot of people looking to take advantage of college students, who are often newly introduced to the financial side of life. Maybe they don't know how much they should be paying, or how to protect their information, or how to weasel out the scams. Whatever it is, college students are targets. And the only thing more stressful than being short on cash is being taken for a financial ride and having money taken.
- If you plan on making online purchases, banks offer separate accounts for online shopping as a means to protect the "main" checking account from potential fraud and related complications. Investigate your options. Or shop only from reputable places, like Amazon.
- Avoid scholarship scams. Never pay to apply to one and never give out your social security number on a scholarship application. Also avoid anything that guarantees you'll win.
- Never leave your wallet out. And never let people borrow your debit or credit cards. Or even your driver's license. Not even friends.
- Don't use public computers to log into your bank or credit accounts. And don't keep important financial information in your email accounts.
- Create strong passwords. Don't use any dictionary words. Mix letters, number, and symbols. And don't use the same password for everything.
- Use a complicated pin number for your ATM/Debit card. Using "2222" isn't a good idea.
- Regularly check your bank/card statements for fraudulent activity. If you see a charge you don't remember making, call your bank immediately.
Lesson #3: Credit cards are dangerous.
Having a credit card in college can be really convenient. But those credit lines often come with really high interest rates, meaning if you spend more than you can pay back in a single payment period, your debt will grow—and fast. And there's really nothing worse than being a college student in credit card debt. Next to student loans, credit card debt is the single biggest financial burden on college students. And credit cards make resisting large purchases more difficult because you can "pay back later" and do so "over a longer period of time," making things seem more affordable when in fact you end up paying more for things because of interest.
Suggestion: Perhaps the easiest solution of all: just switch to debit and resist the urge to take advantage of any college student credit card offers. That way you can't spend more than you have, and you never run the risk of creating debt you can't pay back. This will help you maintain your college student budget as well, since you'll be less inclined to spend big.

Perfect Black Ballet Flat
"I am in love with this shoe. Like other reviews said, the show was a little tight in the heel at first but after a few wears the heel stretched a bit and felt perfect. Love the small hidden wedge and the cap toe look. These will get a lot of wear as they are super comfy for my commute and all day wear. True to size, I wear a 5 1/2 and these fit perfect."

Not for me
"I wish the shoes were the right shape for my foot but alas they're too narrow across the toes and the elastic digs in the back of my heel. They're a great shoe though - well made and stylish - but probably meant for someone with a skinner foot!"
