Tropical Oasis - 100% Pure ACAI Liquid - 32 oz. (960 mL)
Tropical Oasis 100% Pure ACAI Liquid is made from all-natural ingredients including organically grown Acai berries. Tropical Oasis 100% Pure ACAI Liquid's concentrated formula has great juice flavor with much more power than any juice!
Tropical Oasis 100% Pure ACAI Liquid Highlights:
What is the Acai Berry?The Acai Berry s a reddish-purple fruit that comes from the Acai palm tree found in Central and South America. Because of it extremely high ORAC value, the Acai berry is classified as an elite superfood due to its powerful anti-aging and weight-loss properties.
What does ORAC value mean?The term ORAC means Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity. The ORAC scale was developed in order to classify foods richest in antioxidants. The higher the ORAC value, the higher the level of antioxidants in the food.
What do antioxidants do?Antioxidants are molecules that scavenge the body for free radicals, removing them from your system. They actually inhibit the oxidation process in other molecules.
What does oxidation and free radicals do to my body?Oxidation is a process that produces free radicals. Free radicals are like toxic waste in your body that ravage healthy cells. As free radicals that your body is unable to clean are left to destroy healthy cells in your body, a process associated with both cancer and aging.
How can I help my body fight against free radicals?Your body needs antioxidants to fight and clean out the free radicals from your body. Antioxidants neutralize the free radicals and allow your body to safely remove them from your system. If your body does not have enough antioxidants in its system, it cannot neutralize the free radicals, and the toxic molecules are free to damage and kill cells in your body. The USDA recommends that people consume at minimum 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units a day. Additional studies show, however, that as we grow older, the oxidation process speeds up in our system, making more free radicals that when we were younger. Making sure your body has enough antioxidants to continue to fight the onslaught of these free radicals can keep your cells healthier for longer, while low levels of antioxidants in your body cause oxidative stress and may damage or kill cells.
About Tropical OasisTwo Brothers, One Vision: To bring their customers better health and quality of life through proper nutrition.
You try to eat nutritious, natural, and healthy foods, but consistently eating a balanced diet is hard to do. Their goal is to provide you with quality nutritional supplements to complete your healthy diet and give your body everything it needs to stay healthy and youthful.
They want you to know them, their products, and their mission.
Dear Friends,Seldom do we know where the things we buy come from or why they were made. I feel it is important to tell those stories, and for that reason I would like to share with you their story and the reasons why they founded Tropical Oasis.
In 1996, I was a struggling young salesman working out of my 1970's house in smoggy Houston, Texas. I remember contemplating my uncertain future as I sat in my drab spare bedroom/converted sales office, sipping on my daily dose of coffee. Little did I know that the coffee I was sipping, as well as everything I consumed made with my tap water, was slowing poisoning my system. Over the three years I had been in the house, I attributed my lagging speed and draining energy to job pressure and just getting older. Then, I discovered that the rusting iron pipes under my house had been leeching contaminants into every drop of water I drank.
My brother Terry was living in Dallas at the time, and when I told him what had happened, he immediately sent me a bottle of liquid vitamin and minerals and insisted I start taking it as soon as it arrived. Soon after, I started feeling better, but then I broke out into a severe red rash all over my body.
Worried about the rash and what could be causing it, I started researching nutrition, toxins, and contaminants. What I found was that my body was going into the first stages of detoxification with the help of the liquid supplements I was taking. After this experience, I realized the power and benefits of liquid nutritional supplements and delved deeply into learning more about nutrition.
With my passion for more knowledge, I became a certified nutritional counselor and continued researching and reading all the latest studies regarding nutrition and dangerous toxins in our food supply, a practice I continue today. I saw a true need to create liquid supplements based upon the idea of cellular nutrition to battle the onslaught of toxins in our industrial world. And with that vision, together with my brother, they founded Tropical Oasis.
A few years later, Inc. 500 listed Tropical Oasis as one of the fastest growing privately owned companies in America, and they haven't looked back since. They still hold true to their vision and strive to create the most effective supplements with the highest quality, natural ingredients available. They don't wait for government regulations to tell us something is unhealthy; they stay proactive to protect their health and yours. Each day brings new advancements and improvements that they continually incorporate into their product line. With over 20 products manufactured here in Texas, USA, you can feel safe knowing that products from Tropical Oasis are what they take for themselves and for our families.
From all of us at Tropical Oasis, thank you for your trust and they wish you and your families the best of health!

The heavens delivered a rare treat to moonstruck romantics and werewolves who rose before the sun on Sunday.
A feat of lunar synchronicity created a Supermoon. It happens when the moon is full and at the same time reaches its closest point to earth in its orbit. It makes for the biggest, brightest moon of the year.
According to NASA, a Supermoon, sometimes called a super full moon, is 14-percent larger and 30-percent brighter. A Supermoon like this occurs about once a year.

The lack of Gnomes doesn't bother me in the slightest, and my main is a Gnome. Lore-wise, Gnomes are the little periods at the end of every sentence. No Gnome has been highly influential, none have been legends, but they exist, and provide a means for others to do the work that needs to be done. When was the last time you heard of a carpenter who went on to do good things? Oh. Bad example. When was the last time you heard of a plumber who went on to do good things? Oh yeah, Mario. Hrm. You know what I mean though.
Without punctuation, the written word is a lot more chaotic. Without Gnomes, Azeroth would be a lot more chaotic.
I don't need to see Gnomes in the trailers. I just need to know that they're around, quietly letting their contraptions eat themselves with malfunctions, keeping too much chaos from breaking out.

Tahiti Trader Organic Noni Juice - 32 oz.
Tahiti Trader Organic Noni Juice (Morinda citrifolia ), known as noni, is a fruit native to the unspoiled islands of Tahiti. Islanders in the South Pacific have used Noni for over 2,000 years for its beneficial properties. As a result of its increased popularity, Noni is presently cultivated all over the world in the rich, volcanic soils of the South Pacific, Central & South America and Asia. Organic Noni-Max has captured the essence of the Noni Fruit and its numerous health benefits.
About Tahiti TraderLarry Logsdon, Founder of The Tahiti Trader Company, started the company in 1999 with the mission to make a super high-quality, high potency Noni Juice product for the natural food market.
He has been in the nutritional products manufacturing business since 1984 and has gained a lifetime of experience growing up in the business and working with his father, John E. Logsdon. Larry's dad started working in the business in 1950 after he returned from the service and began working for his father Ben E. Logsdon. Grandpa Ben was doing vitamin manufacturing at the time for the medical & professional trade. Grandpa Ben had started as an early pioneer in the nutrition business in 1920 with his groundbreaking work in natural treatments for pernicious anemia.
Larry's dad, like his father, was responsible for many industry innovations, both in the fields of nutrition and pharmaceuticals and set many trends in the natural foods industry.
Larry envisions a future where people all over the world would benefit from the amazing properties of the Noni plant. That future is now.
He began in 1996 making & sharing Noni juice with family and friends, while he worked to develop a marketable product that people would enjoy to drink.
His first Noni juice was made for network marketing companies that were seeking a new and amazing product. He made Noni products for many companies until one day he thought that this product really needs to be available to the public through Natural Foods Stores and normal channels of distribution, everyone should have access to their Noni!
And so, Tahiti Trader Brand Noni was born.
Larry wanted to position Tahiti Trader Noni in the market so that they would have more potentency, better taste and better retail pricing than other Noni offerings. The high potency & great taste was due to their unique process that improved the bioavailability of the finished product.
Larry worked to develop a Noni supply line from the islands to the mainland taking only Nonis grown from his network in Tahiti and surrounding islands.
Their Noni grows in dark volcanic soils, and that is not interfered with by man. Their Noni fruit is truly organically grown; and has not been fertilized, or been sprayed for pests, has not been cultivated, it simply grows unimpeded to full maturity in the island paradise of Tahiti & Polynesia.
When their Nonis are fully mature and ripe, they harvest them and place them into cold storage. Then their harvest comes to the mainland where they process the whole fruit into extract; paying careful attention to detail and create the precious juice extract without heat then super concentrating it and combining natural flavors to the Morinda Citrifolia juice so it could come to market.

When Timmy punched Joey
I once read about a mother who found herself breaking up a fight between her sons.
Remembering the blazes of 1988
One summer afternoon back in 1988, I stepped out into the back yard of my Greybull home and looked up into a dark gray sky.
Not about birds — or maybe it is
Once upon a time, it was a big event in California every spring when huge flocks of swallows returned from their winter home to the old mission at San Juan Capistrano.
The Amend Corner: Voters want to know: Where are you from?
Watching the political scene is always good for a few laughs.
Not that politics isn't a serious business. Politicians can, and often do, cause a great deal of mischief, and not a few disasters.
The Amend Corner: Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam?
Being in an extended state of forced physical inactivity, I have been left with considerable time to improve my mind, or at least keep it active. I'd hate to have my brain turn into the proverbial couch potato from lack of stimulation.
So, with the help of the old iPad, I have been reading a lot of non-fiction books and have watched several old movies that I missed when they were new, including an early Alfred Hitchcock film from the 1930s. More recently, I have discovered academic programs available online, and have listened to 24 lectures on the book of Genesis.
The Amend Corner: Silence isn't always so golden
Ordinarily, our house is pretty quiet.
Aside from my tendency to turn the music up a few extra decibels, the better to hear the pianissimo passages of "Scheherazade" or enjoy the somewhat louder chords of "Born in the USA," there isn't a lot of noise.
The Amend Corner: Undesirable immigrants of a different order
As faithful readers of this column may remember — I think there are a couple dozen of you out there, not counting my relatives — I last filled this space with my thoughts on immigration.
The Amend Corner: Moving on — and moving in— has always been human nature
A couple of weeks ago, my wife handed me the phone to speak with the lady on the other end of the line.
The lady was conducting a poll, apparently for the Republican Party, about the immigration bill currently being discussed in Congress, and asked me if I would support a bill that included a number of provisions. Then she began to read a list of those provisions which was so long I lost count by about item number eight.
The Amend Corner: Oh, to be in Pennsylvania
This week, I would rather not be at home.
Were it not for certain medical issues, I would be in Pennsylvania this week, attending the activities observing the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg — which include a reenactment of the events of those three July days of horror and heroism by thousands of ordinary people who make a hobby of reliving the events of the Civil War. One of them is my nephew Jake.
The Amend Corner: Scattered clouds, scattered thoughts
I'm a bit too old to be a baby boomer. My birth just a few weeks before D-Day makes me a war baby.
One of the consequences of this situation was that I eventually became big brother to five baby boomers, which, while not a terrible thing, did mean some cultural differences within my immediate family and often these differences involved music.

More than most other "Western" countries, Australia seizes the imagination. For most visitors its name is a shorthand for an endless summer where the living is easy; a place where the adventures are as vast as the horizons and the jokes flow as freely as the beer; a country of can-do spirit and easy friendliness. No wonder Australians call theirs the Lucky Country.
Every aspect of Australian life and culture, whether its matey attitudes or its truly great outdoors, is a product of its scale and population – or lack of it. In size, it rivals the USA, yet its population is just over 22 million, leading to one of the lowest country population densities on Earth. The energy of its contemporary culture is in contrast to a landscape that is ancient and often looks it: much of central and western Australia – the bulk of the country – is overwhelmingly arid and flat. In contrast, its cities, most founded as recently as the mid-nineteenth century, burst with a vibrant, youthful energy.
The most iconic scenery is the Outback, the vast fabled desert that spreads west of the Great Dividing Range into the country's epic interior. Here, vivid blue skies, cinnamon-red earth, deserted gorges and geological features as bizarre as the wildlife comprise a unique ecology, one that has played host to the oldest surviving human culture for up to 70,000 years (just 10,000 years after Homo sapiens is thought to have emerged from Africa).
This harsh interior has forced modern Australia to become a coastal country. Most of the population lives within 20km of the ocean, occupying a suburban, southeastern arc that extends from southern Queensland to Adelaide. These urban Australians celebrate the typical New World values of material self-improvement through hard work and hard play, with an easy-going vitality that visitors, especially Europeans, often find refreshingly hedonistic. A sunny climate also contributes to this exuberance, with an outdoor life in which a thriving beach culture and the congenial backyard "barbie" are central.
Although visitors might eventually find this low-key, suburban lifestyle rather prosaic, there are opportunities – particularly in the Northern Territory – to experience Australia's indigenous peoples and their culture through visiting ancient art sites, taking tours and, less easily, making personal contact. Many Aboriginal people – especially in central Australia – have managed to maintain a traditional lifestyle (albeit with modern amenities), speaking their own languages and living by their own laws. Conversely, most Aboriginal people you'll come across in country towns and cities are victims of what is scathingly referred to as "welfare colonialism" – a disempowering consequence of dole cheques and other subsidies combined with little chance of meaningful employment, often resulting in a destructive cycle of poverty, ill health and substance abuse. There's still a long way to go before black and white people in Australia can exist on genuinely equal terms.Read More
Aboriginal art
Aboriginal art
Aboriginal art has grown into a million-dollar industry since the first canvas dot paintings of the central deserts emerged in the 1970s. Though seemingly abstract, early canvases are said to replicate ceremonial sand paintings – temporary "maps" fleetingly revealed to depict sacred knowledge. In the tropics, figurative bark and cave paintings are less enigmatic but much older, though until recently they were ceremonially repainted. The unusual x-ray style found in the Top End details the internal structure of animals. The Northern Territory – and Alice Springs, in particular – are the best places to look.
The Anzacs
The Anzacs
Travelling around Australia you'll notice that almost every town, large or small, has a war memorial dedicated to the memory of the Anzacs, the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. When war erupted in Europe in 1914, Australia was overwhelmed by a wave of pro-British sentiment. On August 5, 1914, one day after Great Britain had declared war against Germany, the Australian prime minister summed up the feelings of his compatriots: "When the Empire is at war so Australia is at war." On November 1, 1914, a contingent of twenty thousand enthusiastic volunteers – the Anzacs – left from the port of Albany in Western Australia to assist the mother country in her struggle.
In Europe, Turkey had entered the war on the German side in October 1914. At the beginning of 1915, military planners in London (Winston Churchill prominent among them) came up with a plan to capture the strategically important Turkish peninsula of the Dardanelles with a surprise attack near Gallipoli, thus opening the way to the Black Sea. On April 25, 1915, sixteen thousand Australian soldiers landed at dawn in a small bay flanked by steep cliffs: by nightfall, two thousand men had died in a hail of Turkish bullets from above. The plan, whose one chance of success was surprise, had been signalled by troop and ship movements long in advance; by the time it was carried out, it was already doomed to failure. Nonetheless, Allied soldiers continued to lose their lives for another eight months without ever gaining more than a foothold. In December, London finally issued the order to withdraw. Eleven thousand Australians and New Zealanders had been killed, along with as many French and three times as many British troops. The Turks lost 86,000 men.
Official Australian historiography continues to mythologize the battle for Gallipoli, elevating it to the level of a national legend on which Australian identity is founded. From this point of view, in the war's baptism of fire, the Anzac soldiers proved themselves heroes who did the new nation proud, their loyalty and bravery evidence of how far Australia had developed. It was "the birth of a nation", and at the same time a loss of innocence, a national rite of passage – never again would Australians so unquestioningly involve themselves in foreign ventures.

The Minority Nurse Blog is maintained by our editorial staff. We encourage you to offer your comments at the bottom of each post.
Communication breakdown is the leading cause of medical errors such as gaps in health care, incomplete or missing information, and medication errors. Most importantly, communication supports the foundation of patient care. So, hand-off reporting during shift change is a critical process that is key in protecting a patient's safety. Throughout the hand-off report, it is vital to provide accurate, up-to-date, and pertinent information to the oncoming nurse. Not only are nurses transferring responsibility, we are shepherding and ensuring a safe passage.
Now more than ever, the promise of control appears to be everywhere. Every new magazine or book seems to say: "Take charge of your personal development, relationships, finances, and career with the push of a button." We download the apps, we make calendars and budgets, and we track our miles and our achievements with pedometers. But all the technology and planning in the world can't prepare us for the unexpected challenges of a health crisis.
It can be a struggle to embrace healthy habits after an exhausting day at work. The reasons are all too familiar: erratic hours, high stress levels, skipped meals, and, lack of motivation.
Huge changes are sweeping the health care landscape; electronic medical records (EMR), the resurgence of clinics as the point of care delivery, the medical home, care disparities, cost and financing issues, the Affordable Care Act, and the market-driven nature of medical care. But their significance, however, is not matched by one that is passionately mentioned in that list. It's the primacy of the patient and their satisfaction.
Do you know that being a nurse qualifies you for many unique business opportunities? Many nurses aren't aware or don't know how to capitalize from the knowledge they possess. Let's explore some common reasons a nurse wouldn't feel confident about branching out on their own and how to change your mindset to become a successful business owner.
Whether we're just starting on our path to serve in the health care industry, or already in service to our communities, there's no better time than now to remember that taking time to nurture our creative sides can be an asset to our careers.
As nurses, faculty, and nursing students we are staunch advocates for healthcare promotion and principally disease prevention. Continually, we encourage our patients, families, and friends to become health literate in expectation of living healthy, fulfilling, and satisfying lives. With the incredible growth of technology and research, this is an apt time to take back one's health. In particular, the developers of 23andMe share equal interests concerning individuals being cognizant about their health report card. Foremost, the initial and most important step is identifying our health risks.
We all have bad habits and, luckily, most of them are very forgivable. After all, we are all human and not perfect. But at work, employees' bad habits can lead to conflicts with coworkers and even being overlooked for a promotion.
Perhaps there's no disease as feared and diagnosis as dreaded as that of cancer. Here are a few health resources that your Hispanic patients can turn to for information, guidance, or help dealing with a possible or actual cancer diagnosis.
According to the American Cancer Society, cancer is the #1 cause of death among Hispanics in this nation. (It overtook heart disease as the leading cause in 2012.)
In three weeks I will begin the nurse residency program and take a step closer to my fulfilling my lifelong dream of being a nurse. Last month I received the coveted phone call from a facility I had applied to. After a long telephone interview and two panel interviews that spanned three months, I was offered a position in their nurse residency program. For those who do not know what a nurse residency program is, it is a bridge that takes the newly graduated nurse and aids in the transformation into a confident practitioner.
Nursing school can be difficult and at times overwhelming. As a new graduate, I have strong memories of fast approaching exam dates, hundreds of clinical hours, and jam-packed study sessions. Since nursing school differs from other disciplines, I was imparted with invaluable guidance and wisdom that certainly directed my path. Fortunately, I have an insider's guide to navigate and thrive while enrolled in any nursing program. If you follow my prescription for success, you will flourish and rise to the top of your nursing program!
Nurses work long hours and have very demanding jobs, making it hard to manage a healthy exercise and eating plan. We preach healthy eating and exercise habits to our patients, but do we practice what we preach? What's the best way to stay fit on 12 hour shifts?
Preparing for the NCLEX can be cumbersome and finding the best review course may be a bit overwhelming. Are you looking for a course that is affordable, interactive, and self-paced? Well, the NCSBN review course, or the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, may be the right course for you! Notably Hurst, Kaplan, and Sylvia Rayfield are the most publicized and recommended review courses among nursing students and faculty. Certainly, these review courses are excellent resources, but they are marked with a hefty price.
Angelica P. Herrera, DrPH, MPH,an Assistant Professor in the Center for Aging Studies at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, knows all too well the havoc that diabetes plays in the Hispanic community.
Yet again, nurses have been chosen as America's most trusted profession. Nurses are increasingly depicted as honest, trustworthy, and compassionate—and nurses are needed more than ever with the always changing health care atmosphere and the rise of the baby boomers. In spite of nursing's increasing popularity, media outlets have failed to report a rising development in the nursing arena, which are increasing accounts of lateral violence and burnout among new graduates.
Today, October 1st, is the beginning of enrollment in online health insurance marketplaces nationwide. The exchanges are at the center of the Affordable Care Act (or Obamacare), the largest healthcare expansion this country has seen in nearly half a century.
The Affordable Care Act was introduced to provide all Americans with affordable health care coverage while lowering the burden of health care costs on individuals and the government. The act is designed to provide preventative care before the need for long-term care occurs. With the cost of doctor and nurse visits rising, it's important to ensure access to health coverage is available to Americans. Additionally, our own health care employees need to be made aware of the effects the ACA has on their own health care.
The countdown to the institution of the historic Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) has started. October 1st is the first day for enrollment through each state's Health Insurance Marketplace; coverage won't actually kick in until January 1, 2014.
The constant stress of dealing with physical and emotional demands as a nurse may leave you feeling exhausted, irritable and disconnected. Some days, it may be a struggle to head into work. You may find yourself increasingly needing a "mental health day" and calling in sick.

Dates for the 2015 Summer Semester in Costa Rica will be announced in fall semester, 2014.
Students will experience the natural splendor and be exposed to the exciting culture of Costa Rica in Central America.
The Summer Semester in Costa Rica will provide a superb opportunity for students to be immersed in a Latin American environment and promises to be a memorable and unique learning experience.
The goal of this program is to provide students an academically vigorous study opportunity in a Latin American country. The three courses that will make up this program are:
SOCI 235 (SB) - Nature, Culture, and Ecotourism This
course focuses on how understandings of nature are shaped by culture, and takes
advantage of the location in Costa Rica to explore how "natural" and "cultural"
features are brought together in Costa Rican society. Some highlighted topics
include ecotourism and sustainable development, food and culture, art and
community, local and global understandings of landscape and nature, and
dilemmas of social change connected with globalization. Students learn by
engaging with theoretical and ethnographic texts, developing a comparative
perspective, and participating in many opportunities for on-site research
projects. Using a sociological framework and research skills, they explore how
local and global patterns intersect in complex ways in specific settings. They
are also invited to reflect on transformations in their own "culturally
filtered" experience of nature, and on their role as global travelers.
BIOL 106 - Neotropical Biology (NS-L)An introduction to the diversity, structure, function, and history of tropical ecosystems. Course is taught during the summer semester in Costa Rica. Students who take this course cannot also receive credit for BIOL 102 Natural History.
SPAN 200 - Legends of the Hispanic World (CS, SB)This course is designed to move you away from "knowledge" of the language and expertise in using isolated skills into a practical and fluid use of the language where you synthesize your skills. The highlight of this learning will be the summaries of
the six legends that we will be reading in oral and written form as well as the creation of your own legend based on your experience in Costa Rica. Prerequisites: Spanish 120 or equivalent level.
Students will choose 2 of the 3 courses.
Students and faculty will live and study at Ecolodge San Luis, a field station located in north-central Costa Rica. The station is located near the Quaker community of Monteverde and the famed rainforest preserves of the area. The Ecolodge is part of
the San Luis valley community and is closely involved with the local people in regulating farming, ecotourism, and development activities. It provides an excellent opportunity for students to become immersed in a Spanish-speaking culture. Day trips are
possible to other areas of the country including the capital, San Jose, nearby volcanoes, and the historical site of Santa Rosa. The people occupying the valley are mostly engaged in farming, growing coffee and sugar, and raising milk cattle for the local
dairy. Some residents supplement their income with ecotourism activities. The field station and local residents work together to promote development activities that do not adversely affect life in San Luis. The community living here provides students
with frequent and significant interaction in a Spanish-speaking culture. Surrounding much of San Luis valley are many natural reserves including the
Monteverde Cloud Forestand the Children's Rain Forest which allow for detailed study of tropical environments.
The Program
The semester is open to students at any level and from any discipline and is coded for Odyssey Global Awareness (GA) and Service to the World (SW) credit.
The Cost
Tuition and fees for the 2014 Summer Semester in Costa Rica will be $5500
plus the cost of airfare.
Program charges include:
*all transportation, all meals and lodging in Costa Rica, *health & travel insurance, and field trips to national parks and places of cultural interest
Personal spending money is the responsibility of the student. Homestays
are available with local families, at an additional cost of $13.00 per night.

The high cost of the high school prom
Spending a good deal in excess of $1,000 for the prom is not unheard of in some parts. Here's how to reduce your costs.
A friend of mine is working extra shifts at her job to help pay for her daughter's prom.
Here's what the money is going for: The mom set a $500 limit for the dress. While many of the dresses the daughter looked at cost more than that, the one she finally picked was only $398. Also: nails, $56; pedicure, $45; hairstyling, $40 -- and those prices don't include a 20% tip. Add in tanning salon ($40), alterations to the dress (cost not yet known) and flowers (still to be determined).
The mother added, "These are the moments, though, right? The ones they call … priceless."
Or how about too pricey? Another friend, just a few years past her prom, said, "I think expectations about what prom should be are changing. Things like limos, nice dinners and nearly designer dresses were once luxurious. Now they are considered necessities for the ideal prom."
Fortunately, there are many ways to reduce the cost.
What can you expect to spend?
Prom costs vary from state to state, community to community. Promgirl.com says the big night generally can cost anywhere from $175 to $2,100, and gives some ranges. For example:
- Tickets -- $20 to $250.
- Pre-prom dinner -- $25 to $130. Just be sure a dinner isn't included in the ticket price.
- Hair, makeup, etc. -- $30 to $275.
- Gown -- $100 to $400.
- Photo -- $30 to $125.
- Limo -- "Renting a limo is an extravagant option, but it is very common. They could cost anywhere from $200 to $500."
A story at Masslive.com identifies some additional costs that were unheard of 10 or 20 years ago:
"Instead of driving your date home in your father's car at the end of the dance and saying goodnight, now students are packing rented limos and party buses with 30 of their friends after the dance to an after-party, often becoming more of the 'social event' then the dance itself.
"The day after prom has also become popular for planning trips to the beach or amusement parks, or to stays at a friend's lake or vacation home. It is now a whole weekend of celebration."
One store owner said she's making pocket squares and bow ties that match the girl's dress. "If you had told me eight years ago when I opened the store that I would be bejeweling bow ties for prom I would not have believed you," Bianca Jackson told the newspaper.
The total can be an excessive amount of money to spend on an event with a date you may not even see again once you leave for college (plus it deprives your college fund of much-needed cash).
So, let's consider some ways to hold costs in line:
Set a prom budget. How much can you realistically afford? Some costs are fixed, like the prom and post-prom tickets. Now you know what you have left to spend on everything else. And if your teen wants to exceed the budget, tell that child to chip in.
Thankfully, some kids see the need to scale back. Said the blog post "Prom: Getting out of hand" at the North Central High School website (the city and state aren't identified): "After going through the 'proma' myself, my best advice would be the less you hype prom up, the more it will exceed your expectations, and the better time you'll have."
"Proma," you likely have noted, rhymes with drama.
Or you can use the approach of Jim Higley, who blogs at Bobblehead Dad. He had his daughter take charge of most of the cost:
"One of my standby strategies is to set a limit as to what I can contribute to something. As an example, when my daughter was a senior, I told her I'd contribute $100 toward her dress and accessories. Everything else was her responsibility. Setting a limit for a parent contribution can really bring out some wonderful penny-pinching qualities in kids."
Here are some cost-cutting tips:
- Shop around, both online and at local stores. One store we found online, Bliss Bridal, says all 2012 prom dresses are now on sale for $25. Courtney Alicia Miles, a senior at King/Drew Magnet High School, told her school paper, the Golden Gazette, that she too found deals online. "I only spent like $140. I found my dress online for a discounted price, which left me room to splurge on my shoes."
- Rent the tux or dress either online or from a local shop.
- Buy the dress at a consignment shop. Often they've jeen worn just once, like a wedding gown. After the prom, you can resell it.
- Borrow a dress from a friend.
- Get help from charitable groups. Cinderella's Closet provides dresses, shoes and accessories, as well as services such as hairstyling to girls who might not be able to afford them. Check for organizations in your area. For instance, the Chicago area has the Glass Slipper Project. The University of North Carolina's Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority holds the annual Pearlfect Prom Project to collect dresses and accessories and also provide hair and makeup sessions. In New Milford, Conn., says NBC News, a high school asked people to donate gowns, which the girls got either for free or for a donation.
Other costs
- Shoes and accessories. Think of the shoes already in your closet when selecting the dress. Also, you must know someone who has beautiful jewelry (and is willing to entrust you with it) and purses.
- Makeup and hair. Surely you can do this yourself or get some donated help.
- Photos. Have the photos taken at home by a talented friend or relative.
- Dinner, if it's not provided at the prom. The father of the girl I mentioned above is an excellent cook and is making dinner for her and her date.
- Transportation. Skip the limo and let parents drive, or carpool. Or get a big group of kids to hire a party bus.
A long-term approach is to encourage the organizers to reduce the expense. For instance, seniors at Mountlake Terrace High School in Washington state have fundraisers throughout the year to keep the ticket cost at $25 apiece, says The Weekly Herald.
"Matt F." offered his cost-cutting suggestions on Teen Ink:
"The prom could easily become less expensive if guys wore suits and girls wore nice long dresses. Having the prom in the gym and sponsored by the underclassmen would lower the ticket price. Parents could serve a special dinner at home to defer the cost of eating out."
How big a deal should prom be? Unless you eventually marry your prom date, will you really cherish those memories for many years, feeling a warm glow as you recall that special someone pinning on your flowers?
More from MSN Money:
I went to homecoming and skipped prom, but I would have approached it the same way:
Top: "free" (from my closet)
Skirt: ~$30 (including a 25% discount)
Shoes: $5.00 (I love the thrift store)
Makeup: My mom did mine using her makeup
Hair: My friends would have curled mine, but I told them not to waste their time.
Nails: I didn't do mine - but nail polish plus falsies, if so desired = ~$6.
Transportation: Mom drove me to a friend's; we walked from there after we finished getting ready.
Dinner: We ate dinner at home, and free refreshments (punch and cookies) were offered there.
I hadn't been planning on going, so I didn't have enough money saved up to buy "all this" so my parents paid - and after two weeks of working for my neighbors, I was able to pay them back.
MY TOTAL COST was $35.00, and I had more fun being with my friends than I did dressing up or being at the dance. That's why I thought prom would be a waste of time and money, and never had the desire to go. If I had gone, I would have been paying for it myself - but if my parents had paid for me, I would never have had the stupidity, selfishness, or disrespect to ask for more than that anyway. That's a lot to spend on a dumb dance anyway; $50 is almost a whole tank of gas now!

The Tucker girls team staked its claim to the No. 1 spot in Class AAAAA when the new girls basketball rankings are released on Sunday with a 46-45 victory over Stephenson on Tuesday.
Tori Robinson scored the game-winning layup with 1:08 to play. Erykah Davenport had 18 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Tigers, who are 17-3 overall and 11-0 in Region 6-AAAAA. Kaliyah Mitchell scored 14 points to lead Stephenson (18-3, 9-2), which missed four free throws in the final minute.
Tucker, ranked No. 2 this week, won both meetings against top-ranked Stephenson this season, beating the Jaguars 53-48 on Nov. 30 behind a 23-point, 10-rebound effort from Davenport. The Tigers also beat third-ranked Miller Grove 48-39 last weekend. Tucker was ranked No. 1 earlier this season before suffering consecutive losses to Miller Grove and Westlake in the Peach State Classic.
*Tight race: The No. 2-ranked Effingham County boys team (15-4, 8-1) suffered its first region loss and fell into a tie for first place in 3-AAAAA when it was upset by Jenkins on Tuesday. Paris Baker scored 12 points for Jenkins (11-7, 8-1) and held heavily recruited Effingham forward Jakeenan Gant scoreless in the first half. "This was our biggest win yet," Jenkins coach Bakari Bryant told the Savannah Morning News. "Our motto all season has been IGYB or I got your back, and the kids lived up to it tonight. It was a total team effort."
*Scoreboard: Tuesday was a rough night for ranked boys teams in Class AAAAA as Effingham County, Sequoyah, Tucker and Northside-Columbus lost and three others won by six points or less. Stephenson was the only ranked girls team to lose. Here's how the top 10 boys and girls teams fared on Tuesday:

Its lack of support for Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band wireless, and the 500Mbps power-line standard, however, makes it less suitable for those who need to share or stream a large amount of data.
Steer toward Nokia's Lumia 1320 for an affordable supersize phone you can rely on, but not before checking out Android rivals with fancier specs and comparable price tags.
A great little monochrome laser printer, it offers fine output, duplexing, and a tight footprint that lets it fit right into any business, school, or home office.
Attractive, affordable, and very fast, D-Link's PowerLine AV 500 Adapter Starter Kit DHP-501AV is one of the best available in its class.
Compact, good-looking, affordable, and fast, D-Link's PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch DHP-540 makes a great device that extends your network both via traditional cables and electrical wiring.
The Dell 1320c is a decent choice for a small office or work group, but a little more cash will net you a faster printer with better print quality.

Audubon School in RI
April 24, 2013
Plans to build a new grocery store in Rock Island may soon run into a roadblock. Tonight the Rock Island Preservation Commission will consider designating the former Audubon School a historic landmark.
Fareway Stores is working on plans to buy the vacant school from the Rock Island district, demolish it, and build a new store, on 18th Avenue. The city's Planning and Re-development Administrator, Ben Griffith, says a former resident of Rock Island, Alexandra Elias, who now lives in San Diego, submitted the landmark application, hoping to preserve the school.
Griffith says the school district opposes the designation, and if it's granted, can appeal to the city council. Becoming a landmark would make it harder to get permission to demolish Audubon School, but not impossible.
It was built in 1923, and closed in 2010. The Rock Island Preservation Commission will meet today (wed) at 5:15 pm in city hall.

Official LEGO Minecraft sets in the works
Back in December, Minecraft developer Mojang Specifications began an initiative to drum up enough support to warrant the creation of official Minecraft LEGO sets. Today, LEGO Cuusoo--the entity responsible for hearing and assessing such requests--announced that LEGO Minecraft has been approved by the LEGO Review committee.
The proposal for LEGO Minecraft achieved the necessary 10,000 supporters, and was then evaluated by a "LEGO Jury" to determine the feasibility of the product before it was approved.
The images (above and below) are concept pieces put together by Michael Thomas (aka, suparMacho). Though they seem to present some ideas of what one might expect from an official Minecraft LEGO set, the official product is being developed.
The announcement on the LEGO Cuusoo blog states that LEGO is "now developing a concept that celebrates the best aspects of building with the LEGO system and in Minecraft." "We can't wait to show it to you-but it isn't ready just yet," the post states. "These things take time, so we appreciate your patience. More details are to come."

All of this hurricane talk has put me in the mood to talk about global warming…
All of this hurricane talk has put me in the mood to talk about global warming…
I love this gif, but I don't like the snark at the end- "realists"? why not scientists? statisticians?
I mean, clearly the skeptics are fitting multiple trendlines instead of one, and therein is the obvious problem.
I just don't think "realists" is the correct term to describe the process of fitting a trendline to all the data. And calling the other side 'skeptics' is also inaccurate. If this was a problem on, say, a test about statistics, they would all have failed.
I don't know what to call them, though. Calling them "skeptics" cheapens the word, and calling the other side "realists" doesn't give them enough credit. Maybe "The wrong way to look at climate data" vs "The right way to look at climate data".
But I mean still though, amazing gif

Is there no Latin word for Tea? Upon my soul, if I had known that I would have let the vulgar stuff alone.

We connected, but it did not work out. Looking in Muskegon, MI
I contacted Pam to help me find a home and only received one listing in 2 months!!! She is not very helpful. I was the one who always initiated contact to see what's going on and after realizing she hadn't done anything for me, I decided to contact another realtor. She told me to be patient and after a month, I was fed up! I spent one weekend on my own searching and found 10 properties and went and viewed all of them in one day! I am closing on a house and still have not heard anything from her. Enough said...
Response from Pam on 03/16/2013
To very unhappy customer- OUCH!..I am sorry you were so dissatisfied. The first two months of this program were a bit overwhelming. I was inundated with contacts and had not fully developed a system to return calls and emails as promptly as I would have liked. By early summer of 2012, I had developed a system that is working very well. There are instances where I will have one of my team members at NEXES get back to folks, as you deserve a quick response. Again...my apologies....if you need an agent in the future, I would like another opportunity to earn your trust. Pam

Bought a Condo home in 2004 for approximately $250K in Caledonia, MI.
Pam was a big help to me when I bought my current home. Since I live in Grand Rapids (Gaines Township), I used a GR realtor who was also a friend, but I relied upon Pam's knowledge and expertise in giving me her opinion and doing research for me. Pam came over from Muskegon to tour the condo and also called the township regarding possible water table issues. Her input was extremely valuable to me. Pam's level of experience along with her knowledge base is remarkable. I would highly recommend her.
Response from Pam on 05/03/2012
Thanks...glad I could help. I'm sure you are enjoying your golf course view!

Sold a Single Family home in 1987 in Muskegon, MI.
Pam St. Amour was recommended to me by a relative to handle an estate for my brother and I in 1987. I was impressed with her professionalism, attention to detail and excellent negotiating skills. She is not a typical salesperson...she is quite reserved, but when it is time to negotiate boy do you see her assertive side...her wheels always seem to be turning. It was a joy to work with such an unflappable, out of the box thinker. The property sold quickly and for the price we wanted. I have recommended her to many friends over the years and they have also been very satisfied.
Response from Pam on 05/01/2012
The highest compliment my clients can give me is the referral of their friends, family and business associates. Thank You.

Bought a Single Family home in 2010 for approximately $125K in Fruitport, MI.
I am so glad that Pam St. Amour was the agent that had the listing for this home that we purchased. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgable, compassionate, and responsive agent. She was very patient with us and made herself available at all times. If she didn't have an answer for us to a concern or question, she got right on it and responded to us as soon as she could. She helped us immensely in a hard situation that we were thrown into unexpectedly. During our experience with Pam, I believe she went way above and beyond what her job requirements are for her profession. We were always kept informed of any issuse that arose. Pam made you feel like you were not a job to her but a friend of hers who was in need of her professionalism, friendship and knowledge. I would not hesitate for one moment to aquire Pam St. Amour's help should the time arise that I need a real estate agent. I know to this day, if I needed help with anything, Pam would not hesitate to do what she could. Not only is she excellent at what she does for a living but she is a decent, compassionate human being. I would highly recommend Pam to anyone. She is very professional, yet personable and makes herself available at all times.

Bought a home in 2012.
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Pam on a real estate transaction this winter. She was easy to work with, provided great communication about what was going on with the transaction, kept us in the loop as things changed, and has a great support team working with her at Century 21.
We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to work with during this transaction. Everything went smooth and we are thrilled to be enjoying the wonderful home we purchased from Pam. This was truly one of the best real estate transactions we've had. We would recommend Pam to our family and friends for their future real estate needs.

Sold a Single Family home in 2005 for approximately $25K in Norton Shores, MI.
I had an excellent experience with Pam St Amour as my real estate agent in 2005. I was a first-time home seller and relied totally on her to guide me though the unfamiliar process of both selling my house and buying a new one, I always felt Pam had my best interests in mind.
Pam did a great job as a commmunicator and kept me informed of any developments as they happened. She was always available to answer my questions, which were many.
I can highly recommend Pam for her professionalism, her knowledge of the field, and her integrity. BB

Bought a Single Family home in 2010 for approximately $150K in Ravenna, MI.
Pam was an excellent realtor. She took the time to get to know us, learn exactly what we were looking for, and consistently worked with us to quickly find the home we were looking for. She handled herself very professionally and went above and beyond with all the behind the scenes inspections and necessary paperwork. She was always available either via phone or email to promptly answer any questions I had or to give updates on the status of my purchase. I would absolutely recommend Pam to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Poetry as prayer.
Here's a short lecture I gave to the University of Minnesota's undergraduate creative writing sections last fall. It explores some of my thoughts about poetry as prayer, and relates those thoughts to my recent public art work, "Project 35W," a collaboration with Swedish artist Maja Spasova. If you want a glimpse into my process or some thoughts about poetry's role as public art, you might enjoy this presentation. Let me know what you think!
