Let's face it. Not even the savviest shopper is safe from the inevitable fashion purchase regret. (Liquid latex harem pants, anyone?) And since we all make mistakes, it's good to have a back-up plan. That's why Premium Return Protection from American Express is a stylish shopper's must-have. It allows online or in-store shoppers – no matter what credit, debit or charge card is used – to shop with confidence knowing that American Express has your back; even if you've missed a store's return policy deadline, you can still get your refund from American Express for up to six months.

Though I have never been one to follow the phrase, "When in Rome do what the Romans do…", a purchase in my middle school years left me staying true to this cliche while quickly becoming regretful of my purchases. Yes, at one point in time wearing tank tops studded with the word "BEBE" seemed like the cool thing to do. Little did I know, the trend was nonexistent and nothing but the attempt of 13 year olds trying to dress far beyond their years. I soon learned of the beauty in simplicity and have yet to purchase tacky since.

My biggest purchase regret was the television we have in our Family Room. It must weigh about 200 lbs and is the size of the backend of a mini van! Takes up so much space! Oh and that Dyson vacuum that really does "suck" but not the way it should.

I regretted buying and immediately washing the last pair of jeans I purchased. I settled because I was in a hurry and now I hate the way they fit and are hanging in my closet indefinitely.

My biggest regret was not learning how to properly take care of my skin when I was a teenager. I picked at my skin and now have a few acne scars to prove it.

My most recent purchase regret happened yesterday. I bought the AA 3D Rose Jumper without trying it on. I figured it looked so cute on the hanger and on the models, but lesson to self always try it on in store! Now I have a cute sweater that makes me look like a large puffy pink marshmallow. Not the look I was going for, but I can hold onto it until Halloween? Ha.

My regret is wearing clothes I've had since HIGH SCHOOL (too many years) because I feel too guilty to go out and spend. In need of a major purge of the old rags and rebuilding of a 20 something wardrobe!!
- 7 Melissa Kelley { 03.24.11 at 9:19 am }
My biggest purchase regret is walking away from the most fabulous white handbag and matching wallet to only return 30 minutes later to see that it was gone. It became someone else's fabulous accessory! And i still return to the store every week hoping that it was someone else's purchase regret. Now that i know with American Express you have 6 months to return an item to get your money back – i guess i know where i'll be frequenting over the next 6 months!
Next time, even if i am totally not sure i want it, i will buy it anyway….and for the record, i am still looking for a fabulous white handbag…but nothing matches up to the one i let go!

My biggest shopping regret would have to be when I purchased these fabulous but yet expensive Jeffrey Campbell shoes! I regret spending so much money but I definitely don't regret wearing my favorite shoes all the time and getting wonderful compliments :)
- 9 Bette { 03.24.11 at 9:23 am }
Bought a gorgeous eggplant colored waltz length silk coat with a dyed rabbit collar. I look like an iris when I wear it, but I'll keep it forever because it was so expensive. ;) Maybe I'll give it to one of my daughters!
- 10 Shannon Sampsel { 03.24.11 at 11:14 am }
My biggest purchase regret is a DASH for bebe dress. I purchased it after falling in love with it online. And when it was shipped to my house and I tried it on, it just didn't fit me very well and wasn't the least bit flattering for my KimK booty. ;) I have tried to wear it many times, but can't get myself to actually leave the house in it.
- 11 Thom { 03.24.11 at 11:56 am }
Biggest regret: Buying my 2008 Ford Focus. I hated that car with a passion. And I should let my love for new gadgets, IE Microsoft Sync control my money strings LOL
- 12 Kristen Wood { 03.24.11 at 12:41 pm }
Hmm. There have been many "what was I thinking?" purchases, but one that specifically comes to mind are these two long, short-sleeved tops I bought that look like maternity shirts. Just below the breast area, it flows out. I bought it thinking it would look more baby doll-ish, but it's just hideous.
- 13 Linda S. { 03.24.11 at 1:23 pm }
At the suggestion of my brother, I bought a barebones computer case and motherboard for upgrading my computer, but never got around to doing so, so it was eventually too outdated to use. Also bought suede pants and a skirt I never wore (sigh) but may do so now I've lost weight!
- 14 Crystal { 03.24.11 at 1:55 pm }
Biggest regret purchase was buying a engagement dress 1. because it never happened and # 2 ill never wear it because of the memory it holds
- 15 Ana Sayson { 03.24.11 at 1:58 pm }
My biggest purchase regret was spending hundreds of dollars on things that I wanted for the puppy I would be purchasing in a month. Needless to say that the responsibility of the puppy was a big slap of reality and I had to return the puppy within a week of getting it, because it deserved a home that could give it the time and love it deserved, and realized I threw away all of the receipts for the dog stuff I had purchased. 400 dollars down the drain… for nothing. So if anyone wants some premium dog food, toys, beds, gates, and or a cage… let me know!
- 16 addrienne mertens { 03.24.11 at 2:09 pm }
i tweeted by the way and follow both! thanx! @zippy573

I regret my track-suit phase. I own 8. *did I just admit that*
- 18 Ali { 03.24.11 at 2:37 pm }
My biggest shopping regret was spending my money that I had saved up for super long to buy a purse but ended up spending it on boots! I only bought them because I was in a major shoe faze and it matched my party dress! Sad thing is I payed 140 for them on sale! I couldn't return them after I realized they didn't go with any of my other clothes! :( lesson learnt!
- 19 michelle rosborough { 03.24.11 at 3:13 pm }
A very low cut top I still have not worn
- 20 michelle { 03.24.11 at 4:31 pm }
Biggest purchase regret … a slightly too small and significantly over-my-budget but totally adorable dress from Anthropologie that I've worn once. Every time I see it in my closet i get angry (and remind myself that I should lose 10 pounds).
- 21 Stephanie { 03.24.11 at 4:46 pm }
I regret buying a ridiculously expensive pair of designer jeans just because I saw the name in a magazine. Next time, I'm going to buy jeans only if they fit correctly!
- 22 Paria { 03.24.11 at 5:12 pm }
My biggest purchase regret had to be the L.A.M.B. high heels I bought. Don't get me wrong, they were FABULOUS. But, they just weren't my size. It was the last pair and I just had to have them. They were a size 6, and I am a size 5.5. Needless to say, I looked silly wearing them, and had to get rid of them. Note to self, just because you love something, it doesn't mean it will always love you back.
- 23 Jenn Rawlines { 03.24.11 at 6:35 pm }
My biggest purchase regret was leasing a couch and loveseat that cost 1800$ and ended being closer to 3000$ with all the interest…Actually, I am still paying it!
**Retweeted and followed both!!**
- 24 Bianca { 03.24.11 at 6:36 pm }
I regret buying an experience gift for my ex. He really liked to play pool so I bought him a day with a pool pro. You have a year to use it and he never did. Two hundred bucks for nothing. I would've bought something nice for myself!
- 25 Katie Stuart { 03.24.11 at 6:46 pm }
My biggest shopping regret was buying a cheap pair of jeans that I already knew weren't durable. I had bought a pair of jeans from Wet Seal, which is where I work, and they were destroyed jeans, especially in the knee area. After one or two days, the back beltloops ripped off, they tore in the knee and on the leg. Since I get a discount, I decided to buy another pair since they were so cheap, but not realizing that the same thing would happen to the second pair. And waddya know. It did. Even though I did not spend a lot of money, buying these jeans was definitely one of my biggest purchase regrets.
- 26 Nicole { 03.24.11 at 6:53 pm }
My biggest purchase regret? Buying this blood red lipstick that looked good on my friend (who has a similar skin tone/color like me). She looked flawless and I looked like a kid who ate tons of red candy.
- 27 Megan { 03.24.11 at 7:02 pm }
My biggest purchase regret was this white cotton dress that I fell in love with as soon as I saw it. Unfortunately after getting it (knowing very well white was not a color I should be wearing while out with friends drinking at college) I got make up and alcohol stains on it and now my dream dress sits in the closet too sloppy to wear. Guess next time I'll stick with colors/black.
- 28 Lissette Chavez { 03.24.11 at 7:05 pm }
I own three of the same pair of new York and company sandals because I couldn't find the other two pairs. :) whoopsie. I now know where all six sandals are!
- 29 Crystal { 03.24.11 at 7:07 pm }
My biggest regret…. this is a tough one, but the 10 bathing suits I bought at a boutique on the same day, when I already own like 50!!!! AND they were non refundable. Just my luck.
I need a vacation!
- 30 Julie { 03.24.11 at 7:27 pm }
I am cursed with the characteristic to be a super impulsive shopper. This leads to many a times where I regret what I bring home in my shopping bags. The worse was when I bought an $80 dollar dress that was on sale (still expensive) because I thought I would eventually where it to a dance. The dress still hangs in my closest and becomes more and more outdated as the years go by. :/ awful purchase.
- 31 Jamie { 03.24.11 at 7:34 pm }
My biggest shopping regret…mustard yellow floor to ceiling drapes in my bedroom! I was desperate for room darkening curtains because the sun was waking me up at the crack of dawn every morning. Now, I'm stuck with the most hideous curtains ever!
Please submit an entry to your contest! I would love a shopping spree to update my spring and summer wardrob! Especially since I'm moving to Singapore in December to be with my boyfriend who has been abroad for a year. I need to look stylish when I see him!
- 32 Erin Collins { 03.24.11 at 7:35 pm }
My biggest purchase regret was a nearly $400 purple digital camera.
- 33 Alodie { 03.24.11 at 7:38 pm }
I regret buying these high heeled shoes. They look cute on a lot of people and I felt the need to buy them but no I regret it because I just don't feel comfortable. I feel like I'm going to fall.
- 34 Mary-Claire { 03.24.11 at 8:19 pm }
My biggest shopping regret would be not buying clothes or shoes that I could make a complete outfit with. For example buying the most fabulous shoes ever and not having one outfit I could wear it with!
- 35 sony { 03.24.11 at 8:20 pm }
my biggest purchase regret would be my desk! at the time finding affordable(college kid budget) furniture that was BLACK to go with my new color scheme was impossible. I purchase a brown desk that I was able to paint black and seal so that the paint stained well and wouldn't peel off. I'm a handy girl, but come to find out…they had sent me the wrong piece to one of the legs. I never could finish the desk, and since I'd painted it…I couldn't call to get the correct piece.
- 36 Ashley { 03.24.11 at 9:16 pm }
My biggest shopping regret was spending money on thrifted clothes, thinking I could sew them and change them up a bit. Though I don't regularly sew, I figured that it would be pretty easy. Yeah, not really. After I tried fixing them up they looked awful. I've learned that I need to save money on something that actually FITS, and if it doesn't, don't get it, unless it can be tailored.
- 37 Sara P { 03.24.11 at 10:40 pm }
My biggest regret is buying cheap jeans. I bought a pair because they are only $9.00 and they fit SO well! But the zipper broke soon after. Now I need to start buying nicer jeans so they wont break/get worn so easily!
- 38 Jake { 03.24.11 at 11:01 pm }
The most regretable purchase I (almost) made was the purchase of 2 2011 coachella tickets off of craiglist. I found out that the person was a scrammer right before I bought a money gram to pay for them. Haha! Almost $600 down the drain. Thank goodness for googles wealth of knowledge about scanners.

I regret not buying a more souvenirs when I travel.
- 40 Julie L { 03.25.11 at 8:06 am }
My biggest regret was buying these super cute shoes @ Saks… I just had to have them. Of course when I wore them the first time, I wobbled on the heel and ended up breaking my ankle! I have never worn them again…They just sit in my closet! :(
- 41 johanna { 03.25.11 at 10:05 am }
my BIGGEST FASHION BUY REGRET would have to be an ICEBERG jacket back in 99…HORRID

i once bought lounge pants for my husband.. you know how some people dont know they for wearing around the house and NOT for public ?!?!
uh huh.. BIG MISTAKE!!!
- 43 Krystal/Village { 03.25.11 at 10:07 am }
ooo I'd love an extra entry! My biggest purchase regret was this blue sweatshirt that I bought from H&M – I threw it on over a white dress one night to ride my bike in the rain and it bled through!!! and THEN it turned a whole load of laundry blue. And I still have blue things. and I have to wash them all separately!
- 44 cindy c { 03.25.11 at 10:08 am }
I regret a lot of "bargains" I buy because their a really good deal, then never wear them. I've done this way too many times.
- 45 ZeroP1 { 03.25.11 at 10:09 am }
My biggest regret was buying my house. It was about 7-8 months before the housing crisis. What I thought was a very good deal turned out not as much as what I owed is much more than the cost of the house now.
- 46 Molly Johnson { 03.25.11 at 10:14 am }
My biggest regret would have to be the time I was in a hurry and bought a very expensive pair of pants that were two sizes to big and the store wouldn't let me return them.
- 47 Debra P { 03.25.11 at 11:22 am }
My biggest regret was buying the wrong laptop because I was in a hurry and it was really like a tin can. It was a great price but I should have waited and got what I really wanted.
- 48 Jennifer Peters { 03.25.11 at 11:57 am }
My Biggest Purchase regret was our Dodge Durango (enough said right lol) We've Had nothing but problems with it, having to make repairs constantly since we bought it.
- 49 Shela Y. { 03.25.11 at 12:07 pm }
My biggest regret was spending hundreds of dollars from watching something in an infomercial. Insomnia + Watching Informericals = Buying Regretful Purchases such as Magic Bullet, Ninja, etc. dont make me list it all :-)
- 50 Chelsea L. { 03.25.11 at 12:41 pm }
I bought an $850 pair of Yves Saint Laurent Tribtoo suede red pumps for my wedding in June and then realized that I needed the money. It took me forever to sell them and I'd never even worn them! I ended up only getting $500 for them.. I seriously regret that!
- 51 Disa { 03.25.11 at 4:31 pm }
My biggest purchase regret was buying clothing from a store where everything was $15. I was so excited that everything was so cheap that I went crazy and bought so much stuff before realizing that everything was cheap because it LOOKED cheap and tacky. Unfortunately there was a no return policy :( I made a nice large donation to Goodwill.
- 52 Michelle Simons { 03.25.11 at 6:37 pm }
My biggest regret was buying a GE stove that had electric starters on this gas stove. it made so much noise with the clicking and would not work to start the top of the burners.
it got sent back.
- 53 Raleah { 03.25.11 at 6:48 pm }
ah, my biggest purchase regret..
I believe that it was this dress that I bought online.
Somehow it doesn't fit very well in the bossom area lol.
- 54 ZOOdawg { 03.25.11 at 7:25 pm }
I regret everything I've ever bought without shopping with Whitney.
- 55 Annie Kluesner { 03.25.11 at 11:56 pm }
When I was about twelve, I bought a pink tank top with pink glitter flames on coming up from the bottom. As if that wasn't bad enough, it also tied up with pink suede laces on each side.
- 56 Tempestt { 03.26.11 at 3:35 am }
My biggest purchase regret would be this jacket I bought. It was a black short pleather jacket. It was only $50. I was trying to be cheap and not spend an extra $50 for a real leather jacket for the spring. So I wore the cheap one a few times and notices that the sleeve was ripped. Never will I be cheap again! I ended up buying the real leather jacket and throwing the fake one away.

My biggest purchase regret is the the 50 inch TV I bought at Walmart as it was a floor model with a deal of $469. Only problem is it was used so much on the floor that now the color is going out already after only having it for a few months.

- 62 Connie { 03.26.11 at 9:55 am }
One of my biggest shopping regrets is when I purchased a winter coat. There was another coat that looked better on me, and fit me much better, but I didn't choose it. They both were on sale, but I think I made my choice based on the price of the coat. I never really like the one I bought, and have always regreted not picking the other, but You live and learn!
- 63 Rhonda P { 03.26.11 at 10:40 am }
Buying things on sale and never wearing them.
- 64 nicole { 03.26.11 at 12:54 pm }

- 65 Yvonne { 03.26.11 at 1:25 pm }
My biggest regret would have to be buying a "New" blackberry on Ebay…after 3 month it malfunctioned…when i took it a repair facility they said it was "REFURBISHED" and it was irreparable …seller then removed himself and I got left with a USELESS-BERRY…
- 66 Denise { 03.26.11 at 1:42 pm }
My biggest regret would be buying a high heel Tall winter boot ..It looked sooo nice when i tried them on..I paid full price and unfortunately have never worn them because I REALLY only wear flat warm boots in the winter … #should have known better …@carnivalfanatic
- 67 Cindy H. { 03.26.11 at 2:30 pm }
My biggest purchase regret is not something I actually purchased but something I SHOULD have purchased, a warranty that I didn't buy for a camera…broke the day after the warranty would have kicked in….Lesson learned…I always buy the warranty now!
- 68 MIKE Groesbeck { 03.26.11 at 2:37 pm }
My biggest regret is a leather jacket I paid too much for. It didn't fit right from the get go.
- 69 Kim { 03.26.11 at 2:44 pm }
Don't even get me going about the 80's…stirrup pants,shoulder pads….! The one worst purchase that came to mind was when I thought leather biker jackets were great looking(on some people),so I spent about $300 on a black biker jacket w/all the metal studs&clips,etc…every time I wore it I felt like a fool-needless to say-15 yrs later I have no idea where it disappeared to&I hope I never find out! Ugh!
- 70 Sarah S. { 03.26.11 at 2:55 pm }
My biggest purchase regret was when I bought my computer.
I should of researched it better and gotten a much better deal.
- 71 Ashley { 03.26.11 at 3:54 pm }
My biggest regret was buying the car I have now. I bought it from my brother and now it's causing me so many problems! It has 5 tvs and neon lights underneath so I bought it for the bling and ended up with a Piece of crap!
- 72 Holly { 03.26.11 at 4:14 pm }
My biggest purchase regret was Kid Cudi's newest album. I really liked the song Erase Me and I thought the rest of the album would have that funky, grungy, hendrix vibe but nope. I may as well of just purchased the single from iTunes because the rest of the album did not come even close to my expectations.

My biggest purchase regret took place during a summer day spent at the Americana in Manhasset. I was shopping with a friend who had way more money to spend than I did, and so all bets were off. I walked into the Salvatore Ferragamo store and fell in love with a pair of pale lavender slingback heels. They were the perfect height and had the signature SF bow on the front. They looked just like the flats that my grandma passed down to my mother, and then to me, except these were new and clean and absolutely irresistible. I bought them at a whopping total of $595. I felt guilty after leaving, and immediately regretted spending that much money on a pair of shoes, but I could not bring myself to return them. When my mother saw me walk into the house with the shopping bag, she asked to see what I bought. I showed her, and when she asked me how much they were, I couldn't lie (because I had bought them with the family credit card). My reasoning was this: "Mom, they're SO perfect, and they're your favorite color. I bought them because I think we could share them". My mother made me tell my father, and he blew up in my face. He was furious, AND made me return them. The only thing I regret more than buying them is returning them. Hopefully one day I will be able to spend my own money on a pair of fabulous shoes just like the ones I saw in the Ferragamo store.

My biggest purchase regret was last summer. I bought my own jet ski. I Am terrified of back it down the ramp at the dock! I don't operate it that well either. I end up having someone else go and I ride on the back.
- 77 Lisa Dion { 03.26.11 at 7:23 pm }
My biggest regret was a diamond bracelet that was $4000. I love it but it was money that I probably didn't need to spend.
- 78 Patric Krueger { 03.27.11 at 1:44 am }
I bought a Triumph Spitfire cause it was red and shiny. All I did was pour money into it.
- 79 Robyn Ely { 03.27.11 at 2:41 am }
My biggest regret in buying something was a Audi 5000
back many years ago. After spending tons of money on it , the dumb car turned out to be a lemon. The transmission went out right away on it. The extended insurance I purchased did not want to put a new one in it, and wanted to have a mechanic take it apart and rebuild it. It turned out to be a stand off, and the dealer finally took care of it with a new transmission. The bad part was it sat in the driveway for months fighting over the problem with the extended warranty company and I was making car payments on it. Talk about a lemon…………
- 80 Patti D { 03.27.11 at 5:19 am }
My biggest regret…and I have never told anyone until now was a lingerie set. I didn't try it on because it was from a catalog. It was expensive to begin with and shipping made it over the top, but well, it looked GREAT on the model and while I was flipping through the catalog, my fiance, hubby now, was looking over my shoulder and said "you'd look fantastic in that". So….I bought it, in my size, but when I got it, it was a bit snug. I was going to see if I could return it but fiance spotted it and mentioned, hinted, mentioned some more about "wow, can't wait to see you in THAT!". I wore it that night, begrudgingly…stepped out of the bathroom, and heard him laughing! Of course, he stifled it when I was in earshot. I could hardly move, let alone try to seductive! Then it happened! Riiiiiiiiip….and not him tearing it off, either.
I honestly felt like a Barney the Dinosaur sausage…yes, it was purple. NOW, we laugh about it. Then I wanted to melt into a small purple puddle. Yeah, what WAS I thinking?!

My biggest purchase regret was spending $975 on a Gucci hobo bag in white. The bag is great, but I don't carry white bags that often! I shoulda spent that money to buy a bag I'd carry more often.
- 83 KD Munoz { 03.27.11 at 11:25 am }
I buy the oddest things- my biggest regret, is the secondary entertainment center I got for hubby to use in his man cave. I'm not sure why I got it- it's too big to move & we use the area for storage now (which I knew it would be later!)

My biggest shopping regret was buying an iphone! I fell for the hype, had to have the iphone!!! Once I got it I realized I didn't like it as much as I expected I would…it was okay but not worth the $$$.

My biggest purchase regret is our washer & dryer. We've had too many issues/repairs. Wish we would have went with another brand. Knock on wood though that they've been fine for a while now. ;)

My biggest purchase regret was 2 suits and a linen blazer for my guy. Soon after, he became a long-distance runner and lost a bunch of weight before he could ever wear the expensive clothes I bought him!

My biggest shopping regret was a divine short LANVIN Rain Jacket w/a ruffled collar. I want a LANVIN so bad, but this was really not the best piece to buy. I just got caught up in the frenzy of the Barney's sale and got ahead of everyone else to get it. So. I got it …for $500.00 reduced from…2k. It was outrageous. I got it home, and never worn it. I still wore my good London Fog raincoat everywhere as it was full length and more practical. So I sold that Lanvin on eBay to another. I was glad I did it was such a foolish purchase.

My biggest purchase regret is the first car I ever bought for my son. I bought it from a friend (who's also a mechanic) so I thought I was getting a good deal, but it was a deathtrap, and money pit. Worst purchase I EVER made. EVER.
- 91 Shawna Rae Dunn { 03.27.11 at 7:46 pm }
my biggest shopping regret was purchasing a really cute pair of yellow heals for a cruise, almost 2 years ago, and still have yet to wear them!

My biggest purchase regret was letting my cousin talk me into buying this HP laptop computer instead of the Mac Air that I wanted.. I havent even had it a year & im ready to get rid of it. #wasteofmoney

My biggest purchase regret was buying a pair of citizen jeans in 2005. Not that I regret buying the jeans, but the store was going to close in 30 minutes, and I just had to have them. I also met my first boyfriend while buying the jeans as he was a fellow shopper and we struck up a friendly conversation. He was a total jerk so I wish I had never bought those jeans! Or had at least came back another day : )

My biggest purchase regret is a cardigan I bought online on a whim. It was over $70 (which is a lot to me for a cardigan) and while it is pretty, the quality is awful and it had a hole in it. No refunds. OUCH. My twitter name is @team_flores
- 98 Sara A. { 03.28.11 at 11:01 am }
My biggest purchase regret is this gorgeous nicole miller gold lace dress i bought a size too big. i was buying online, and not sure how the couture line was sized, so i sized up. i found out after the fact that it can't be altered because of the lace pattern, and it's way too big. not only did i waste the $$, i can't wear the gorgeous dress! ugh! lol
- 99 Nicole { 03.28.11 at 11:03 am }
My biggest regret is a pair of pointy toed black heels that weren't comfortable from the start. You always think you can "break 'em in," but if they don't fit at the store, they simply won't ever get better!
- 100 katie roberts { 03.28.11 at 11:54 am }
My first pair of Louboutins. They look beautiful in my closet but I bought them a size too small and they were not returnable. I was excited to be in Manhattan for the first time and just "had" to have them. I think I was SO excited that I didn't realize how much those suckers HURT to wear when they are farrrr too small. @katiewroberts

My biggest purchase reget was buying work clothes online I never purchased clothes online before. I figured it can't be that hard, everyone does it. So, I ordered 5 pairs of pants, a business skirt set.
I was online tracking the packages. I was so excited because I ordered online and I was getting new clothes. The last time I brought clothe for myself it was 2001. The packages arrived in the late afternoon. I ran up the stairs and ripe open the boxes. I am smiling showing my husband and kids mommy's new clothes. My husband told to try them on. I tried the first pair of pants on and they were too big. I tried to put a belt on but there weren't any belt loops. I didn't see that in the description. The next three pair of pants were the same..TOO BIG!! Only one pair fit perfect. The suit was ok. I checked the pants size 18w. So, when I ordered I thought 18w meant 18 women's. So, I was totally wrong. It meant 18 wide. AAAAgggghhhh! I couldn't return them because I started my new job in morning. So, learned how to staple or use pins to hold my pants up. I will never order clothes online again..

My biggest purchase regret was on my eighteenth birthday last year. I had been wanting the black and gold Tory Butch logo clutch for as long as I could remember so my mom took me to saks and told me to pick whichever TB I wanted. She encouraged me to get a beautiful wine colored large leather handbag but I was stubborn and opted for the logo clutch. I was obsessed until that weekend when I attempted to go out with it and could barely fit my cell phone and camera in it. Need less to say, I learned my lesson: if you're going to drop big bucks on anything-designer or not- make sure it's a practical purchase that will be well worth the money. (still love TB with all my <3)
- 106 Tammi Zirnite { 03.28.11 at 12:46 pm }
My biggest purchase, hmmmmm… OK when I received my refund from the friendly IRS I decided that I was in desperate need of a new Coach handbag. Problem was I ended up in need of 6 new Coach handbags, 2 Coach wallets, and 1 pair of Coach wedge shoes. So what should have been a $400 purchase ended up being WAY more. What bills? Fashion comes first, right?
- 107 Robin { 03.28.11 at 2:19 pm }
My biggest regret is buying a Chevy Malibu from Carmax (a large chain that's supposedly reputable). I bought it with only 50,000 miles on it and the engine completely broke 6 months later! I had to buy a new one and the car has needed endless repairs. It wouldn't be so bad if I had gotten a cheap old car but I didn't and I'm still paying on it. I have years left on the loan in addition to ongoing costly repairs. This isn't cheap when you're a student either!

My biggest purchase regret has to be a DVD set claiming it would get me a "beach booty fast"- if only I could have tolerated the annoyingly perky fitness instructor for more than 5 minutes! $85 bucks down the drain when all I really needed was my trusty treadmill to get a bikini bod for the summer!
- 114 Samantha { 03.28.11 at 6:06 pm }
My biggest purchase regret was the sheath wedding gown I thought "was the one." I went back a few weeks later for my first fitting (after getting a new contact lens Rx) and it looked TERRIBLE! I have no idea what I was thinking. It was not flattering on me at all! I balled and balled and balled, but the store owner wouldn't let me return or exchange it, so I ended up bringing it home with the hopes of selling it online. Unfortunately, it still hangs in my closet and I am STILL paying the credit cards bills!
- 115 Jess p m { 03.28.11 at 6:38 pm }
I bought some Christian Louboutin boots on eBay and they turned out to be FAKE!! had I linked my Amex to my patiala count, I would've gotten my $ back. :(
- 116 abbi { 03.28.11 at 11:36 pm }
i actually regret a lot of things I buy. I buy way to much on impulse. I have a treadmill that sits in the corner folded up. It's huge and in the way yet I dont want to sell it because i know i wont get what i paid for it
- 117 Teddie { 03.29.11 at 7:41 am }
I bought a dehydrator because I wanted to make my own dried fruits and vegetables. The door doesn't close properly so only half of the items I tried to dehydrate actually dehydrated! I haven't used it since I first bought it. It's big and clunky and now an expensive dust gathering placeholder in my kitchen.

- 119 Laura { 03.29.11 at 11:31 am }
Picture it: Vinyl lime green mini skirt, striped lime green and black turtleneck, vinyl lime green vest, tights that matched the turtleneck and a vinyl lime green headband. Oh my goodness was it a lime green and vinyl nightmare! I was nicknamed "The Greenbean" for a year!!
Oh did I mention I was in 4th grade? :)
- 120 Amy { 03.29.11 at 12:11 pm }
My biggest purchase regret was my prom dress. I wanted an emerald green cocktail dress, and ended up with a light pink one because I let my mom's opinion trump what I really wanted (and the green would have brought out my eyes!) To top it off, it rained on my prom (yes, my mom did ding 'It's Raining on Prom Night', mulitple times) so all the beautiful pleats in the silk chiffon came out, which had really been the only redeeming quality of the dress.
- 121 Erika Larson { 03.29.11 at 12:45 pm }
My biggest purchase regret is from when I was working in a retail clothing store in my hometown. We had gotten in a bunch of sizes of this bright blue bubble-type dress that my boss thought was a great addition to our inventory. The dress was anything but flattering and everyone that tried it on looked like they were wearing a tent. When the dress wasn't selling, my boss convinced me to try it on one day at work and tried to convince me that it looked great. I really couldn't say no since it was my boss, so I bought it hoping that maybe it would end up being a good purchase. Needless to say, I haven't worn it once and it's been hanging untouched in my closet for years! I hope at least it made my boss happy!

My biggest regret was making a $5,000+ purchase and not using my AMEX card. I had lost some of my goods in a taxi in NYC and was never able to retrieve it. Had 9 bags and some of my goods had fell on the taxi's inside. In a rush in the Big Apple city (like always) and with so many bags, when I got home I noticed some goods were missing. I went back to bloomingdales they checked the camera's and nothing was found. I knew I had dropped them in the taxi. If I had used my AMEX card I would have been covered, I regret it so much!
- 127 Shad Wanless { 03.29.11 at 3:45 pm }
This one is easy, it was gold-plated shoes. No idea why I did this, but they were $2,000! I was young and very very very dumb. There you have it, gold shoes… Later sold them on ebay for $50

my biggest shopping regret were these stupidly expensive shoes that were GORGEOUS!!! Oh, i loved them so much. Unfortunately I lasted less than 5 minutes wearing them. They were sooooo painful!! So I ended up carrying around my beautiful shoes all night. Everyone commented on how amazing the shoes were. It's just too bad that i couldn't wear them!
- 131 Brittney H. { 03.30.11 at 7:59 pm }
I bought these fabulous Audrey Hepburn-esque slacks with zipper details on the ankle. Only prob was they didn't fit very well, but I swore I would shed a couple pounds just to wear them. Now I just wait for the day I can dress them up. Torture!

Biggest purchase regret is a hidous blazor I ordered online, and never sent back. It just looked way different online.
- 133 Sarah { 03.31.11 at 2:30 pm }
My biggest shopping regret was definitely electric blue suede boots. Yeah I know, but I thought they were cute at the time. I saw them on miley cyrus and was actually obsessed. I saved up hundreds of dollars to get them and I finally did. it took a while to find a store that sold them in the crazy color I wanted but I finally got them. I wore them once (thinking I looked like miley…) And I never wore them again, they're still in the box. They were stylish for probably 30 seconds. And the boy I liked still calls me blueberry boots….
- 134 Maddie { 03.31.11 at 2:36 pm }
My biggest regret purchase was a very expensive watch! Very unnecessary when there are beautiful watches for a much better price.
- 135 anita b. { 03.31.11 at 6:20 pm }
my biggest regret is buying a fake Kate Spade bag. Everyone complimented me on it and I just broke and told them straight up it was fake. I felt so guilty wearing a fake that i vowed to never buy a phony again. I could have pulled it off but I just couldn't live with my conscience lying to everyone.

My biggest purchase regret is a winter white coat I purchased two years ago. It shows the slightest amount of dirt, so I rarely wear it. What was I thinking?
- 137 Jenna { 04.01.11 at 9:49 am }
I bought a fake Louis Vuitton handbag on ebay several years ago b/c I liked the one Jessica Simpson had. It looked so big and ridiculous and shouldn't have cost as much as it did!
- 138 Carly Tencza { 04.01.11 at 11:37 am }
Yikes! My biggest product regret is a shape less dress piece. Not long enough to wear as a tunic but not short enough to be a shirt. It's horrible!
- 139 AMD { 04.01.11 at 12:07 pm }
My biggest purchase regret ended up being one of my best buys ever. I bought a red Givenchy trench coat for an excellent price online, and when I got it was not exactly what I was expecting. Even though it was a good deal, it still cost me a lot of money, and of course, was unreturnable. I was so upset with myself, but just sucked it up. But now, years later, it is my go-to spring and fall coat. It is flattering with everything and always makes me pop. I get lots and lots and lots of compliments on it.
Of course, this is the EXCEPTION to the many many stupid purchases (mostly online) that I've made…
- 140 Beryl { 04.01.11 at 2:24 pm }
My biggest regret purchase regret is half os my closet..everytime i go to the mall with my friends, they always try on the smallest size of clothes there. I tend to buy clothes that are too small for me with the thought in my head that ill loose some pounds soon and ill be able to wear them in no time. this has taught me to b proud of my body and my curves and to never buy anything without trying it on :D
- 141 Allie Hartmann { 04.01.11 at 2:25 pm }
My biggest shopping regret is.. I don't have one! Besides for those spur of the moment shopping sprees. But who really regrets that? I love bargain shopping so it never hurts my wallet.
- 142 Tiffany { 04.01.11 at 2:25 pm }
My biggest purchase regret was my old car back in 2004… I thought I was getting a great deal on it, and it broke down 2 weeks later. The gaskets had gone and it was going to cost me $3000 versus the $2000 I had spent on the stupid thing. Needless to say, that thing wasn't worth the money to fix and was sitting in my driveway for 2 years while I took public transportation and saved for my next car.

My biggest regret was the PC I bought right before college. If I could travel back in time, I would have gone with my Mac from the beginning. If I had only known then what I know now….
- 148 Amy H. { 04.01.11 at 2:42 pm }
My biggest purchase regret is a pair of denim shorts that are about 2 sizes too big for me. I have a problem with looking at the size of pants/jeans/shorts and buying them because that is "my size." I've since learned to try on different sizes (whether bigger or smaller than what I think "my size" is) and get the pair that fit the best!
- 149 Jordab { 04.01.11 at 3:21 pm }

My biggest shopping regret was a long leather coat I purchased so I could go to work. I had it one week before it had got stolen. It was a $600.00 purchase and I was pretty upset that someone stole it, but I guess I should of known better than to leave it in a closet at work. I'll never forget it and always wondered who was the thief.

Court Appearances
Counsel are free to make their court appearances for case management conferences through CourtCall. No special requests are required.
Other matters (such as motions) require a personal appearance unless the court specifically approves a telephone appearance. If counsel wish to use CourtCall for appearances other than case management conferences they must contact the department clerk and secure permission to do so. On law and motion matters in which the parties wish to have a reporter present, the court cannot guarantee an accurate record unless counsel appear in person. Thus, counsel should not attempt to argue by telephone except in emergencies. However, CourtCall may be used simply to listen to an argument.
This court expects civility among counsel at all times. Parties, opposing counsel, and witnesses are to be formally referred to, not by first names, unless young children. While court is in session counsel should not approach the bench, the clerk or reporter.
Weekly Schedule
The usual weekly schedule for Department 34 is as follows:
- Trials are generally held Monday through Friday from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- "Trial call" takes place on Friday mornings at 10:00 a.m., although this can vary case by case. "Settlement Mentors" will usually be assigned to cases on the morning of trial call and will conference with counsel and parties in an effort to achieve a settlement. If more than one case is scheduled for trial, and settlement is not reached on more than one case, the court will determine that day which case will go to trial the following week, if no other trial is currently underway; the remaining cases will either trail or receive a new trial date.
- Case management conferences in existing cases are held Tuesday and Wednesday at 9:00 a.m.
- Law and Motion is heard Friday at 9:00 a.m.
- Issue conferences and settlement conferences are held as scheduled by the court in consultation with counsel.
- Tentative rulings are available on the court website at or shortly after 1:30 p.m. on Thursday.
- Contesting Tentative Rulings in Department 34
- The tentative ruling will become the court's ruling unless by 4:00 p.m. of the court day preceding the hearing, counsel or unrepresented parties, fax, email or call the department rendering the decision to request argument and to specify precisely what issues are to be argued.
- Department 34's Fax Number is: 925-608-2693
- Department 34's Email address is: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Counsel and unrepresented parties who request argument must advise all other affected counsel and unrepresented parties by no later than 4:00 p.m. of his or her decision to appear and of the precise issues to be argued.
- Failure to timely advise the court and counsel or unrepresented parties will preclude counsel or unrepresented parties from arguing the matter.
- Note: Department 34 prefers and encourages email notification to the department to minimize the risk of a miscommunication.
- Submission of Orders After Hearing in Department 34 Cases
- The prevailing party must prepare an order after hearing in accordance with the requirements of CRC 3.1312. If the tentative ruling becomes the court's ruling, a copy of the court's tentative ruling must be attached to the proposed order when submitted to the court for issuance of the order.
Motions, Including Applications for Default Judgments
- California Rule of Court 3.1110 (f), Format of Exhibits, provides: "Each exhibit must be separated by a hard 8-1/2" x 11" sheet with hard paper or plastic tabs extending below the bottom of the page, bearing the exhibit designation. An index to exhibits must be provided. Pages from a single deposition and associated exhibits must be designated as a single exhibit."
- Please take note that Department 34 will not accept or consider motions, including applications for default judgments, unless there is compliance with the above-referenced rule, in particular that part of the rule which requires that "Each exhibit must be separated by a hard 8-1/2" x 11" sheet with hard paper or plastic tabs extending below the bottom of the page, bearing the exhibit designation."
Application for Order for Publication
Dept. 34 requests that all applications for an order by publication of summons, etc. use the following form: Application for Order for Publication
Discovery Motions
Parties are required to participate in the Discovery Facilitator Program prior to filing any motion in court to compel discovery, unless specifically ordered otherwise. This includes motions pursuant to CCP Section 1987.1. (See Local Rule 3.300, 3.301)
The court strongly encourages all parties to all cases to attempt to resolve their differences and settle cases via mediation (if direct negotiations are not working).
A mediation completion deadline set by the court is a court order. Failure to mediate by the deadline given may result in an order to show cause as to why monetary sanctions should not be assessed against counsel and/or parties. If an extension of the deadline is needed, please submit a timely stipulation and proposed order extending the deadline, with a very brief description of why additional time is needed.
"Certificate of Mediation Compliance"
Department 34 requires the parties to file, individually or jointly, a certification confirming compliance with the court-ordered deadline for completing mediation. This must be filed on or before the 14th calendar day following the mediation deadline. The format should be substantially as follows:
At the __________________, 20__, Case Management Conference, the Court ordered the parties to this case to do the following: complete court/private mediation by __________, 20 __, and file a Certificate of Mediation Compliance.
Plaintiff(s)/Defendant(s) hereby file the instant Certificate of Mediation Compliance to inform the Court that the parties did in fact complete mediation on ______________, 20__.
The parties were able/unable to resolve the matter at or as a result of the mediation.

Court Trials
Preliminary note: The parties to a court trial must comply with Local Rule 3.11 regarding issue conferences and issue conference statements and Dept. 34's Standing Order Re: Issue Conference, except insofar as anything relates exclusively to jury trials.
1. The parties are to meet and confer in sufficient time for the purpose of formulating and filing with the court, on the date the Issue Conference Statement must be filed, a joint list of all controverted issues, identifying the cause of action or defense to which an issue relates, and any stipulations the parties may have reached with respect to these issues. If the parties are unable to agree on a joint list, then each party must file and serve, on the date the Issue Conference Statement must be filed, a list of what each considers to be the controverted issues in the case, identifying the cause of action or defense to which an issue relates, and any stipulations the parties may have reached with respect to these issues. As to each controverted issue, the parties are to list each witness whose testimony will be material to the resolution of that issue, as well as each exhibit that will be material to the resolution of that issue.
2. Unless argued and submitted immediately following the presentation of evidence, the trial will be recessed after the presentation of evidence, and a date will be set to resume the trial for argument.
3. Unless a statement of decision has been waived by the parties, each party must file and serve, simultaneously, a proposed statement of decision. This proposed statement of decision must include proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law on each issue. Each party must file their proposed statement of decision at least 10 court days prior to the date set for argument; in addition, a copy is to be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
4. Upon conclusion of the arguments of all parties, unless the court requires further papers to be filed by the parties, or further argument, the court will take the case under submission.
5. The court will then proceed to prepare, file and serve on all parties its proposed (tentative) statement of decision.
6. Objections to proposed statement of decision:
a. Any objection to the statement of decision will be filed on or before 20 court days following the date of service of the court's proposed statement of decision;
b. If no objections are filed within the 20 court days, the proposed statement of decision will become the final statement of decision. In this event, the court will issue a minute order that the proposed statement of decision is the final statement of decision, there having been no objections filed.
c. If there are objections filed, the court will use its discretion whether to set a hearing on the objections, but will, in any event, consider the objections, acknowledge the making of the objections in the proposed statement of decision, and state the extent, if any, the objections affected the final statement of decision. If it appears to the court that an objection will change the statement of decision, the court will notice a hearing.

There's a shop in Rye which is dangerous. It beckons you in with glittering jewels and you may well emerge back onto the streets of Rye a little bit poorer.
But we have to say that Juel is one of the most wonderful treasure-troves around, selling jewellery that you'd never find anywhere else. Most of what they sell is handmade in Europe and each piece is unique. This is not where you go for a silver neck chain, this is where you go for someting that will make a real statement.
We've also just found out Juel are offering a hire service so you can make like Cate Blanchett and head off to a party wearing something seriously special (pearl choker below a case in point) knowing that it's not cost you very much. Sadly Juel don't provide a security guard to protect you on the red carpet, but maybe next year.
Given that they specialise in being ahead of the curve, we asked Juel co-owner Judith Herbert about the cultural movements influencing what you'll see in the shop:
"We don't follow seasonal trends because we adopt a 'futurist' approach – we look at key events – like anniversaries of famous artists and designers – that have a great influence on design in our environment, from clothing to interiors and architecture. These movements become reference points for the jewellery we buy for Juel.
So at the moment in jewellery, you'll generally be seeing elaborate designs around, which stems from the Victora and Albert museum's current Baroque Exhibition, also abstract designs which take a cue from all the Picasso revival's that are going on.
"For next season, we're anticipating a 1950s and modernist revival, and Juel is also going to be reflecting the Art Deco period with a strong contemporary edge.
"Another movement, linked to the recession, is the revival of 'Art in Design'. We want to offer products that will stand the test of time, and that offer versatility – people are being more cautious in buying new clothing, so this season we are having great success with vibrant colours that lift and enhance neutral outfits. Sometimes it is more prudent to purchase accessories than to replace items in the wardrobe. Several new looks can be created using accessories, say with a simple black dress. It is a formula used always by stylish French women."
So there you go: make like the French and don't bother with a new frock, all you need's a necklace (though make sure it's Art Deco!).
Juel have shops in Battle and Rye, and say hello to Judith next time you're in. She might even show you that pearl choker.

Family: Hexagrammidae, Greenlings view all from this family
Description The lingcod, Ophiodon elongatus, is a fish of the greenling family Hexagrammidae. It is the only extant member of the genus Ophiodon. A slightly larger, extinct species, Ophiodon ozymandias, is known from fossils from the Late Miocene of Southern California.
It is native to the North American west coast from Shumagin Islands in the Gulf of Alaska to Baja California, Mexico. It has been observed up to a size of 152 cm (60 in) and a weight of 59 kg (130 lbs). It is spotted in various shades of grey. The lingcod is a popular eating fish, and is thus prized by anglers. Though not closely related to either Ling or Cod, the name lingcod originated because it somewhat resembles those fish. The lingcod's flesh is sometimes blue-green prior to cooking.
Dimensions Up to 5' (1.5 m); 105 lbs (47.6 kg).
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Ocean or bay shallows, Open ocean.
Range California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska.

Alternate name: Finback Whale
Family: Balaenopteridae, Rorquals view all from this family
Description The worlds second largest animal is a large whale with smooth gray skin and a V-shaped head. Undersides of belly, flippers, and fluke are white. Rarely shows fluke. Shape of pointed dorsal fin is variable. Top of tail stock is ridged. Asymmetric lower jaw and baleen are dark on left and white on right. This head color, and the unique chevron pattern behind the head allow individual identification. Blow is high and cone-shaped.
Dimensions 17.7-22m; / 18.3-24m, 45,000-70,000kg
Endangered Status The Fin Whale is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered throughout its range in the U.S. (Alaska, Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, New Jersey, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia). Fin Whales are speedy and they sink when they are dead; these attributes made them difficult to capture and so they were not targeted by early whalers. More modern hunting techniques, and the demise of many of the other great whales, especially the Blue Whale, changed that. After decades of exploitation, Fin Whales came under the protection of U.S. and international agencies, and it is likely that this species will survive. Certain native peoples are allowed a limited take of Fin Whales.
Habitat Offshore waters
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Texas, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska
Discussion Migrate from summer feeding grounds in cold, productive waters at high latitudes to warmer wintering grounds in tropical and subtropical areas, where they mate and calve. One of the fastest swimming whales, it can reach speeds of 25 knots. Tagged individuals have travelled 1700km in 9 days. A rare and Endangered species now, it was probably one of the most abundant large whales before commercial whaling. Typically swims in deeper waters along both coasts.

McLovin survives 300-ft. fall into Spokane River
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Rochon family love taking their dog to an outlook above the Spokane River at Riverside State Park. But their goldendoodle, Jasper McLovin, was a little excited Sunday and jumped onto the ledge, miscalculated the jump and fell 300 feet into the river.
Normally the Bowl and Pitcher at Riverside State Park is a great place for Jasper McLovin to run off some energy, but this time he ran too far.
"There's a rock wall and he wanted to see what was on the other side," Michelle Rochon said.
Jasper McLovin and his boy, 12-year-old Marshall, were racing to an outlook point with a ledge and little else. Michelle said that Marshall "turned, because we were still coming up the hill, my husband and I, and he said --"Jasper McLovin
"'Mom, Dad! Jasper jumped!' Off the ... I ... I don't know ... I didn't really know what to say," Marshall Rochon said.
What he couldn't say was that Jasper McLovin had jumped off a cliff, 300 feet down into the frigid waters of the Spokane River.
"He had to hit the sides because he's kind of scuffed a little," Michelle Rochon said.
"I see Jasper and he's all wet and he's looking at me like 'Please help me,'" Marshall Rochon said.
Jasper swam to shore on his own, the family went down to the river's edge to rescue him and then rushed him to Dr. Joe Peterson at the North Division Animal Medical Center. With a 300-foot fall, Peterson was expecting the worst.
"As a minimum (he'd have) major fractures, bleeding in the chest cavity, skull fractures," Peterson said.
But Jasper walked away with a bruised liver, bruised lungs and a scratch on his leg.
"Luckily, no bones were broken," Michelle Rochon said. "I can't believe it."
"For him to walk away from this with nothing more than a scratch and something that was easily resolved in his chest is really pretty amazing," Peterson said.
Amazing still, four days later, Jasper McLovin seems to have his spunk back. He's not supposed to be barking or playing but he thinks otherwise. There's no other way to put it: Jasper McLovin is one lucky dog.
Dr. Peterson said Thursday the Rochon family wants to make sure other dog owners know to keep your dog on a leash until you know where it's safe to let them roam free.

When Governor Paul LePage returned to the Blaine House after his Jamaican vacation on Monday, he got a special welcome-home gift: an oversized card, signed by 1300 of his constituents (plus some balloons and Jamaican Me Crazy coffee!).
"Welcome home," the card read. "We hope you enjoyed your vacation, and that you have had some time to consider the needs of all Maine's citizens while you were gone — especially the 61% of us who did not vote for you last November."
The card was delivered by a small contingent of Maine's Majority — the independent campaign behind the oval stickers (you've seen them on people's cars) with "61%" emblazoned over a blue silhouette of Maine. This is the same entity that sent more than 1000 "virtual faxes" (e-mails, with the word "fax" displayed at the top) to LePage's office within 24 hours after he told the press that a single anonymous fax had been behind his now-infamous mural decision.
This type of "rapid-response" action "gives people something to do beyond feeling powerless and sitting around and complaining," says Chris Korzen, a political activist who co-founded Maine's Majority in December as simple Facebook group called "We are the 61% of Maine that did not vote for Paul LePage." In just six weeks, the page had more than 5000 members; now, they're just shy of hitting 10,000 — one of the largest political Facebook presences in Maine. They've sold more than 10,000 bumper stickers to people who believe that although LePage was elected with just 39 percent of the vote last November, he's governing as if he had a mandate. (Governor John Baldacci was elected with 38 percent of the vote in 2006, Korzen acknowledges, "but Baldacci didn't govern as though he had this overwhelming mandate.")
Right now, Korzen and his co-founder, Jack Woods, are focused on trying to "stop as much of the damage as possible" during this legislative session, particularly on issues like workers' rights, the environment, and the influence of special interests in the political process. They'll be trying to engage and increase visibility for Mainers who feel disenfranchised in certain legislative districts — places where member-volunteers are eager to try to sway some Republican votes. While Korzen declines to say which districts are being targeted, he does acknowledge that some do overlap with those of the eight Republican senators who publicly criticized LePage's tone earlier this month.
Korzen believes that the education process about "just who the governor is, what he represents, and how he represents our state nationally," is reaching its zenith; he hopes that now, people "can pivot toward actually addressing some of the policy proposals [LePage] is trying to advance."

Home>Collection>The Taking of Christ, 1602 >Gerrit van Honthorst
Oil on canvas, 131.5 x 182 cmHeritage Gift, Lochlann and Brenda Quinn, 2001NGI.4693
Two men and a woman are singing, accompanied by a lute. On the table is a Spanish guitar. The use of candlelight and dramatic chiaroscuro to reveal facial expressions was a favourite device of the artist, and earned him the nickname 'Gerard of the night scenes'. Honthorst had been a pupil of the Utrecht history painter Abraham Bloemart, and subsequently travelled to Rome where he absorbed the work of Caravaggio and his followers. He painted religious and genre subjects at this time, and some of the leading Italian churchmen and nobility were among his patrons. Returning to Utrecht in 1622 he became one of the city's most successful artists, bringing a strong Italian influence.The solemnity and restrained colour of this scene exemplifies the artist's earlier work. The canvas was acquired in Rome in 1756 for Lord Charlemont, forming part of his renowned collection in Dublin.

Events celebrate 'Don Quixote,' March 8-10
Posted March 7, 2005; 06:10 p.m.
A series of events celebrating the 400th anniversary of the great literary work "Don Quixote" is set for Tuesday through Thursday, March 8-10.
A public reading, a film screening and an academic colloquium -- all under the title "Book Errant: 400 Years Reading 'Don Quixote'" -- are planned by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures and the Humanities Council.
The first part of Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quixote" was published in 1604 and has been a bestseller since day one. The most published and translated book after the Bible, it has been described as the first great European novel, the first work of modern literature and the foundation of Latin American fiction. In 2002, the novel was voted the best book of all time by a group of 100 distinguished writers.
"'Don Quixote' is synonymous with the invention of the novel," said Marina Brownlee, the Robert Schirmer Professor of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures and comparative literature. "This beguiling book, which Faulkner read once a year and which Malraux saw as the most meaningful book for survivors of concentration camps, explores the meaning of history, the arts and technology -- of human nature itself -- in ways that speak to the 21st century as powerfully as they do to the 17th."
The book describes the journeys and adventures of Don Quixote, a knight errant, and his sidekick, Sancho Panza. "'Book Errant'" considers 'Don Quixote' and its intriguing legacy in verbal, visual and filmic expressions from the first 400 years," Brownlee said.
The reading will begin at 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Chancellor Green rotunda and will feature a multilingual "galaxy of quixotic texts" read by University faculty and students. A reception will follow.
The 1957 film, "Don Kikhot," directed by Grigori Kozintsev, will be shown at 8 p.m. Wednesday in 106 McCormick. This Russian film is considered the definitive cinematic version of Cervantes' masterpiece, featuring the great star Nikolai Cherkasov in the lead role.
The academic colloquium will run from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday in 101 East Pyne. Participants will include Princeton faculty members Marina Brownlee, Paul Firbas, Francisco Prado Vilar, Nigel Smith and Michael Wood, as well as scholars from other institutions.
For more information, contact the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures at (609) 258-7180.

Dr Elaine Stead, VP, corporate development, Sunshine Heart
Dealing with the common diseases in an innovative manner is becoming a trend these days and not surprisingly, Australia is playing a crucial role in this. Sunshine Heart, a US-based company which is listed in Australian Stock Exchange, has developed a unique method to help the patients with class III or ambulatory class IV heart failure.
The company's C-pulse Heart Assist system has been making news, with the company receiving $23 million through an initial public offer (IPO) held in the US during October 2012. BioSpectrum speaks with Dr Elaine Stead, VP, corporate development, Sunshine Heart to find out more about the device, the company and the future that this device holds for the patients.
Please tell us about Sunshine Heart?
The company was founded in 2000 by the inventor Dr Will Peters and his business partner, Mr Crispin Marsh a patent attorney, around the early intellectual property developed by Dr Will Peters for the C-Pulse device. Following, early investment by Australian based venture capital the company was eventually incorporated and listed on the ASX in 2004. Currently, the company has 16 employees and is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US.
How does the company deal with funding issues?
Funding and continued access to it is an issue for all companies, particularly those in the medical technology or biotechnology space as development of healthcare products is a capital hungry exercise and can have long development times. Despite this, Sunshine Heart has always been able to raise capital.
It is important for companies to look at all forms of capital or funding, to access the right type of capital for the specific stage of development, to define and communicate value building milestones to investors and most importantly, to have a plan A, B, C and D.

1946 Willys CJ-2A - TimelessPosted in Features on June 9, 2014 Comment (0)
Sometimes features sit in our digital library far, far longer than they should. It's no one's fault; just the way things work sometimes. Such is the case with this 1946 Willys CJ-2A that currently belongs to Jeff Mello of Danville, California. Yeah, you might recognize the orange flattie because it graced the cover of our magazine a year back not long after we shot the feature (May 2013). The Jeep was on the cover for good reason: it's a great looking Jeep. We shot the feature on this Jeep at the 50th Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari in 2012, which is fitting because this Jeep really could have been at the first Desert Safari fifty years earlier. In some ways, it's a shame that we did not run this feature sooner because of the story behind the vehicle, but at the same time almost every old Jeep has a story like this with different people coming in contact with the vehicle and then moving on. This one is special because most of the past 68 years this Jeep has been in contact with close friends and family of the current owner Jeff Mello. That means we know what happened with this Jeep about as well as any old flattie. The key to the story, Jeff, has good reason to love this flattie. Back when Jeff's father (Ron Mello) was 9 years old in 1951, his best friend's father, Johnny Silveira, bought this 1946 Willys CJ-2A. Ron and his friend, Dave Silveira (Johnny's son), spent their formative years in this flatfender exploring the mountains and valleys around Danville, California. This helped Dave and Ron develop a strong love of Jeeps, and not surprisingly, the stories of Dave, Ron, and the Jeep are many. This love and knowledge of Jeeps was then passed down to Jeff.
Jeff is a true Jeep nut with many Jeeps currently in his collection including several race and trail Jeeps. So while we've been sitting on this feature and feel bad about it, the truth is the orange flattie you see here is timeless and it ain't going anywhere. It's owned by a person who loves it and doesn't want to modify it. He wants to enjoy it and preserve it as part of his family's history. But let us not forget that a Jeep like this is also part of every Jeeper's history because it represents what Jeeping used to be, the innovation that brought us to where we are now, and evidence that what is old can still work.
The chassis of the 1946 Willys CJ-2A is relatively stock with a Saginaw power steering conversion using parts from a Ford Pinto. Other frame modifications include some massaging to both the front and rear shackle hangers. Also, like many flatfenders with power steering, the front tubular crossmember was removed and replaced with a stout steel plate version that serves as a radiator support. Hanging off the back of the Jeep's frame is a tire rack that carries a five-gallon Jerry can that was plumbed as the fuel tank during our photo shoot. Otherwise, the stock Willys frame has lasted throughout the years despite the years of use and enjoyment.
The '58 283ci Chevy V-8 was swapped into the flattie in 1961 by Johnny while Dave was serving Uncle Sam in Vietnam. The engine swap was a surprise as Dave wanted to swap a V-8 in his Jeep but was called away to war before he could complete the project. To surprise his son when Dave called home on his birthday, Johnny stretched the phone cord out to the barn so Dave could hear the 283 V-8 purr in its new home. The Chevy V-8 still breathes through the Rochester two-barrel carb that presumably was bolted on for the engine swap and wears old school M/T (Mickey Thompson) valve covers. The Jeep still exhales through home-built fenderwell headers bolted to glasspacks just like it did when the engine swap was completed. The adapter holding the Chevy to the T-90 seems to be homebuilt, which fits with Jeff's memory of Johnny never buying anything that he could build himself.
Somewhere along the way, a Warn Overdrive was added to the Spicer 18 and still rests between the rails helping the little Jeep head down the road. Jeff reports testing the Jeep at more than 80 mph, even with the low axle gearing and smallish vintage tires. Jeff bought the Jeep a few years back after Johnny passed away and it sat in a barn for about 25 years just like it is—a time capsule.
The rear axle in a 1946 Willys CJ-2A should have been a Dana 41 from the factory, but somewhere in the Jeep's past, the lemon-shaped Dana was swapped out for a later Dana 44 with 5.38 gears and two-piece axleshafts. Up front resides a like-geared (and possibly original) Dana 25 wearing Dualmatic locking hubs. Both axles have open differentials, but the Jeep still goes remarkably far down the trail thanks to the V-8 and flexible frame and suspension. Speaking of the suspension, the '46 wears a set of soft, 2-inch–lift 8-leaf military-wrapped springs of unknown origin with some trick bolt-on home-built U-bolt skidplates. Shocks are from Gabriel up front and Sears and Roebuck Company on the rear axle.
Body and Interior
The body of the CJ-2A is relatively stock with some additions, repairs and small modifications from over the past 68 years, as would be expected. The hood louvers were punched by none other than Jack Hagemann Sr., a true artist and master metal shaper from hot rodding's early days (Google the name and you'll see what we mean). At some point in the 60's, Dave got involved in racing and installed the rollbar and front 'cage using some of the ideas and techniques he learned on the track. At the time, running a full 'cage in a Jeep like this was uncommon at best. The seatbelts in the Jeep are vintage aircraft style belts picked up somewhere along the way, and the seats are out of a '67 or '68 Camaro. The Jeep started as a dark blue color (as seen in the vintage photos) and was painted orange in the late 70s. The only truly modern equipment sits behind the seats where Jeff mounted a Power Tank to fill tires after time on the trail.
Good, Bad, and What It's For
Dave and Johnny reportedly took the flattie on 26 Jeepers Jamborees starting in the late '50s or early '60s with Jeff's father joining them in his own Jeep (a red '67 CJ-5) several times later in the '60s and in to the '80s. The Jeep has been to Moab, all kinds of trails throughout California's Sierras Mountains, Southern California, Baja, the Black Hills of South Dakota, and everywhere in between. The Jeep was built to go wheeling with family anywhere, anytime.
The Tale of the Jeep and Mr. Macedo's Tractor
One tale from the '60s that involves Dave, Ron, and the Jeep worth relating here revolves around a friendly neighbor named Mr. Macedo. It seems Ron and Dave went out and got the Jeep fairly well stuck in the creek near Mr. Macedo's ranch. They then decided Mr. Macedo probably wouldn't mind if they borrowed his tractor to get the Jeep out without asking. Once the tractor was on scene, the boys managed to get it stuck and break the steering knuckle. Their solution to this predicament was to harness up some of Mr. Macedo's horses (again without asking), ride them into town, buy replacement parts for the tractor, and head back to the stuck vehicles. They then used the horses to yank the Jeep free and then used the Jeep to free the tractor. They then repaired the tractor, cleaned everything up, and put everything back in its place, and apparently Mr. Macedo was never the wiser.
Why I Wrote This Feature
This early civilian flattie is a time capsule of Jeeping's past. It was cool a long time ago and it still is. It worked off-road when off-roading was in its infancy and it still does. Preserving the past is important, but so is enjoying things as they were. Old Jeeps don't die; they live in our memories. Unfortunately, Johnny Silveira and Ron Mello are no longer with us, but their memory, teachings, and love remains alive in their stories, this Jeep, Dave, Jeff, the rest of their family, and friends…
