What do you think about the price? Base will start ~ $17K.
The base price is fine but the LT1 starts at $19K without cruise control, alloys, remote start, etc. At $19K GM needs to offer these items std.
I assume the LT2 will be optioned the way I'd buy the car and guess that's going to be $21K. Too rich for my blood. If Chevy offered the LT2 at $19K, then they would sell like hotcakes. It's a big, good looking car for the class.
GM is leaving room for rebates and I will buy if I can get what I want for under $20,000.0
m6user Posts: 3,181When you look at what you can get well optioned up in the midsize class and compare it to the Cruze, suddenly the Cruze doesn't look so good. Especially considering you're only gaining 3-4 mpg over some of the midsizers.
I like it but they will have to give discounts right off the bat almost to compete pricewise.0
kplacer Posts: 97I just drove a Cruze LT at a GM event. It was only about a 10-minute drive around town so it was not comprehensive, but I was very impressed. My car had the turbo engine and it was powerful, if a bit noisy when you put your foot in it. I would take that engine over the standard one I think based on the power. It was not as quiet as the Buick Regal I drove a while back but I suppose that is not unexpected in a Chevrolet. The interior design was outstanding. Mine had a red and black interior and the red seat fabric was also applied to the dash -- not sure about the practicality of that, but it looked great. Dash design was very good and modern. Not sure about the pricing on the car I drove but I think it is a very competitive design. I currently drive a Buick and I would not think twice about moving into one of these. They may be a smaller car, but it did not come across as cheap and is miles ahead of the Cobalts I have driven.0
I think people expecting big rebates soon after the car goes on sale are going to be disappointing. GM's newer products (Equinox for example) are not really cheap. They are far better than the cars they replace and for the most part dealers are able to sell them without rebates. The Cruze charges more because its a more refined car and CHevy obviously thinks people will be willing to pay for the refinment and features. Mazda doesn't price the 3 to beat out the corolla or Elantra on value. The car costs more because its better equipped and better appointed than its lower cost competitors and Mazda is fine with that. Chevy is taking a similar position with the Cruze- you get what you pay for. If you want class leading mileage and a class leading interior and a huge trunk you will have to pay more than you will for a Corolla with a 4 speed automatic and a hard plastic dull interior.0
Any word on a launch date? I heard 3Q10 or September and now we're hearing Fall 2010 or October.
Is a firm date available?0
After labor day. I believe production has already started but they are saying availability by September.0
Chevrolet now has the Cruze up and running on it's website........

I heard these will be hitting dealerships in the 2nd half of September.
I'm glad GM went with 60-series rubber on the Cruze LS and LT. The 2LT has optional 215/50R17 tires, but you can get a loaded Cruze 2LT without being forced into low-profile tires. This is a good move on GM's part with only the LTZ having the 45-series rubber standard.
60-series tires ride better than 50-series and I appreciate Chevy offering us a good range of tire/wheel options.0
Are supposed to start this week. Production is underway and supposedly most dealers will have them by end of the month. I am surprised they are advertising the car before its really available on dealer lots.0
I am surprised they are advertising the car before its really available on dealer lots.
I am a bit surprised as well. In my case it is pleasantly surprised.
The Cruze has been a "Future Vehicle" for so long, it was finally good to see Chevy update their website and provide us with ALL the details.
I've heard these will be hitting dealerships the week of Sept. 19th.0
Would prefer 65 series sneakers but 60's will work fine. We have 55's now but really like more rubber on the road. Car doesn't look 1/2 bad for an American car, we've been foreign car buyers since our last GM in 1985. So the Cruze is pretty good to even make it onto our short list. If the seats are pretty decent and my wife can see the end of the hood, it could very well make it into our garage as wifey's new ride. Looking forward to test driving it when it debuts along with the others on our short list.

well official production started today and shipments start next week. I hope they are going to make enough cars so they dont end up with an Equinox problem. I believe they are running 3 shifts so they should be able to meet demand. I saw one of the commericals last night.0
things have come a long way since '85. I'd argue that the average "American car" is better looking than the average product coming out of Toyota or Honda.0
And I'd argue for the other side...personally prefer the Japanese/Korean/German product so much more than the American rides. The Sonata/Optima & the new Jetta/Golf to just name some. The Cruze has sparked my interest though and if it has the fit/finish & mileage of the overseas competition, we'll be sure to give it a test drive. Our local Cheby place is right across the street with the Mazda dealer which is next to the Hyundai/Mitsubishi dealer which is next to the Vdub store. Great location for us. Our Honda/Nissan/Kia store is across town, maybe 8 miles away which also works.
Luckily, our time frame is such that we can try all the models on our short list & have plenty of time to research. I really want stability control & am willing to wait for a 2011 model if need be.

Early reviews of the Jetta have noted its competent but cheaper all around than the old model. THere are quite a few features on the Cruze that cannot be had on any Jetta for any price including power drivers seat, Onstar and auto climate control. On top of that the Jetta gets worse mileage unless you opt for the TDI. I believe the 2.5L (only acceptable engine in that car) gets 23/31 vs 24/36 for the non Eco Cruze. Granted the jetta has more power and will be faster but 0-60 times arent usually what people care about in this class.
The sonata delivers lots of value but I think the styling of the base model suffers greatly compared to the SE with its larger wheels and additional chrome trim. Interior wise, the Cruze has better materials IMHO. Sonata is faster and larger though.0
Reliable sources place the 2011 Cruze LT (1.4T w/auto) at 24MPG City and 36MPG Hwy. Has anyone seen the official EPA numbers yet?0
Excellent materials from the one's I've sat in. If the Cruze has interiors like the other Chevy offerings, I'll go the Hyundai route, thank you very much. Personally think the Cruze is going to have a hard time against the new Elantra coming out which will be it's direct competition. Really believe that the Elantra will steal many of the sales away from Chevy. But we'll still keep it on our short list anyways.

2015 Audi A3 (wife) / 2015 Golf TSI (me) / 2019 Chevrolet Cruze Premier RS (daughter #1) / 2008 Hyundai Accent GLS (daughter #2)0
those are EPA numbers. 24/36 for turbo and 26/36 for the base model with a stick. ECO numbers have not been released yet but I read once that we should expect around 27/40 for the ECO model.0
I've been in two models. Interior is better than anything short of the golf. Its at least as good as the Sonata- I would say better in terms of feel and appearance. It actually looks more upscale in person than the Sonata interior. New Elantra will probably be nice but I dont understand why it would only take sales from Cruze. What about Civic and corolla? Both of those cars are lacking relative to the Cruze so I fail to see how the Chevy would lose the most from the presence of the Elantra.0
It should have been implied that it meant the whole econocar group which includes the Corolla & Civic...thought everyone understood that. A new Civic will debut in 2012 also as I recall & that'll be a 1, 2 punch that'll be hard to beat. We'll just have to let the numbers speak for themselves won't we! I suspect the next generation Corolla will also be something outstanding, as this current generation didn't exactly hit a homerun.
Personally think this segment will be the hotest one in the next couple of years with all the major players coming out with new models which only get better & better. So glad we're going to be looking during this time frame...yay!!

I expect the Cruze to sell very well. For those who don't follow GM Inside News, there's an excellent thread on the Cruze's NVH (or lack thereof) running now:
GM Inside News
There is some strong competition on the horizon with the 2012 Ford Focus, Honda Civic and Hyundai Elantra, and VW Jetta arriving next year. It's a good thing Chevrolet has built a Lexus-like vault on wheels that the competitors cannot touch.0
The cars with the most current marketshare have the most to lose from the increased competition. The current Elantra and Cobalt have never challenged the Corolla/Civic in terms of sales so I would say the Cruze and 2011 Elantra have a chance to gain serious share. The Focus already sells well but the new one should be even more successful at attracting potential Corolla/Civic owners. The civic will be changed for 2012 but spy shots indicated its an evolutionary redesign. Don't expect an all new Corolla for several years. Out of all the major players the Corolla is the farthest away from a complete redesign. Honda's recent redesigns have been modest in terms of increasing technology and mileage so I'm not expected the Civic to break any new ground which is good for Cruze. Besides, its going to be very difficult for any compact to match 40mpg within the next few years.0
One man's opinion which I don't agree with. But that's what will make these next few years very interesting in this market. Just let me say that when I hear "Lexus-like vault on wheels" and "the others can' touch", I tend to totally dismiss those comments. Maybe you guys have a crystal ball or something but all I hear is "opinion" & nothing else. "Facts" guys, facts is what your arguments lack...plain & simple. Personally, I hope they are all home runs & sell tons, much better for folks like us who will be in the market.
But for now, I'll reserve judgment and let you two "experts" spin things as much as possible. Seeing is believing, so I'll just sit & wait. One last thing, with this crystal ball you've both got, I've got some stock tips that y'all can check out for me before I plunk my $ down. You can always reach me here with your recommendations!

Well, I brought 30ozs of gold 4 years old at $650/oz. :P Forget equities - it's a game for the big boys. Gold will hit $1500/oz by December 2011. An 18% gain from today's levels.
Oh and the Cruze? Great little car and it will be very successful for GM.0
Actually professional reviews have verified the "lexus like quiet" and numerous reviews claimed the car was clearly quieter and more refined than the Civic and Corolla. I'm not sure whose opinion you would truse since it seems that you have made up your mind that the Cruze can't possibly be superior to the Japanese compacts. It has more features, more torque, more airbags and a quieter ride. I'm not exactly sure what areas it falls behind in. Sorry, but "wait until the next gen Civic comes out" isnt an acceptable argument right now. The current civic is what the Cruze will compete with for another year and that's what counts until fall 2011.0
I haven't made up my opinion on anything actually since I haven't test drove any of them. I just always base my opinion on personal experience not what the "so-called professional reviewers" say or based on what everyday folks say. Once I drive the cars, then I can make an informed decision...period. I actually like the exterior of the Cruze, it has a pretty muscular stance and with the wider tires filling out the wheel wells, it is a looker! But I need to wait till I drive it till I can make an informed decision.
We'll test all the cars in the sub-compact & the econocar categories & then make our decision. So I can't speculate what I'll like & what I won't like. Go ahead & tell others "what counts & what doesn't"...what you say means nothing to me. I suggest you guys move on already...this is getting tedious & boring actually. Try to influence others in here...you're wasting your time with me!
Time to move on now!!! Bye.

The official EPA Fuel Economy numbers are now available.
The ECO numbers are not yet available. I thought it was interesting that after all the banter about the Cruze being "mid-size", the EPA lists it as a Compact.0

COVER- Autumn of love: Locals look back on the summer of '67
Summer of Love: It wasn't all sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.
I finished law school in 1965 and passed the D.C. bar. But all the while I was thinking of what Peter Taylor told me, "Don't be a lawyer. Be a writer."
So I got a fellowship to the Iowa Writers' Workshop and crossed the Mississippi for the first time. I lived in an old farmhouse with two other guys and had a job tutoring students at the Iowa Law College. Then I worked on Harold Hughes' campaign for the U.S. Senate. I also campaigned for Eugene McCarthy, and was elected as a delegate from Muscatine County to the Iowa Democratic state convention in Des Moines.
I got married; my wife became pregnant.
I had four impacted wisdom teeth– husbands of pregnant wives, in the absence of the couvade, often turn up with something. The impacted teeth were hacked out by a dental student with a hammer and chisel. I was awake, though I got a shot of something like sodium pentathol. I loved it, felt wonderful. While the student dentist changed sides, I said to the nurse, "Your eyes are beautiful, your face is beautiful, your mustache is beautiful."
Okay, there were drugs.
Hughes came by to sympathize and/or to see when I'd be back at work. My salary was to come from the proceeds of a pig-roast fund raiser, and part of my job was to make sure folks showed up. Hughes gave a stump speech, actually standing on a stump.
The Chicago [1968 Democratic] convention: my wife and I were there, sometimes in the convention hall, sometimes wandering around outside. She was five and a half months pregnant, so we stayed clear of the tear gas.
Hughes gave the nominating speech for McCarthy. He would probably have been for Bobby Kennedy. He'd said admiringly of Kennedy that there were lots of people who would vote for him, and their second choice was George Wallace. He also said– and this shows the temper of the times by that point in the late summer– that we could just take this convention over, just physically take it over.
Hubert Humphrey was nominated. He wasn't as hapless a campaigner as Al Gore, another vice-president trying to become president in the wake of a more charismatic figure, but Nixon won.
My wife and I and baby Maud moved to a tiny island in Narragansett Bay. I came to love Rhode Island as much as Iowa, salt water and salt marshes as much as black earth. But that's another story.
Summer of '07: I was in Pennsylvania on the banks of the upper Delaware River re-writing, re-writing, re-writing, gazing admiringly at the river and seeing to the repair of my flooded cabin.
Summer of Love: The Summer of Love didn't arrive in Charlottesville until two or three years after '67. UVA in particular was really removed from the early era of student protests and hallucinogenic drugs. But by 1970, I can remember naked people walking down Rugby Road during Easters. And in 1969, there was a "honk-in" for peace which was part of a national moratorium against the war after the invasion of Cambodia. I heard about it on the radio and drove down out of curiosity to see what was happening. We parked at the Corner Parking Lot and headed toward the intersection of Emmet and Ivy.
I got as far as Mincer's when I saw an Albemarle County deputy tearing anti-war posters from telephone poles and walls. I confronted him because he was violating the Constitutional right to freedom of speech. He told me to be quiet and move on, and when I wouldn't, I got arrested. Two officers dragged me and my friend– who had been pleading with me to shut up– to a Mayflower moving van parked in front of the Rotunda and filled with 65 others, including maintenance workers, a pizza delivery man, and students who didn't have anything to do with the protest but were simply going to Alderman Library to study.
One thing I particularly remember was that school dress codes were rigidly enforced. Male students were sent home if their hair touched their collars, and principals carried rulers to measure the lengths of girls' skirts to make sure they weren't too high. And, for a while, bell-bottoms were prohibited. I won't mention the drugs.
Summer '07: I ran and ran and ran and did things with my son. And I worked on my bamboo. I have 18 varieties of bamboo, and cultivating them is my life.
Summer of Love: Word of the peace movement came late to Southwest Virginia, as is evident from the fact that I'm holding a shotgun. Still, I spent the Summer of Love in hot pursuit of it.
At 17 in 1967– days of teenage subterfuge– I lived a double life, an English literature student and classical pianist by day; by night, a practitioner of dirty dancing at the Wytheville Country Club, gyrating to songs like "In the Midnight Hour." On Friday nights I twirled my baton at football games during half-time.
In the middle of the summer, I was sent off to band camp, away from the examining eyes of my mother and the restrictions of my boyfriend, and spent the time sun-bathing and sneaking smokes. I had promised my boyfriend I wouldn't dance with any boys, only girls.
"The way you dance?" He seemed suspicious.
As he should have been, because the great thing about the dance floor at band camp was that it was outside, under the stars, and someone always cut out the flood lights. My actual dance partner was always a secret.
Come fall and football season, the phone would ring.
My mother: "It's the Rescue Squad. They want to know if you'll be twirling your fire baton. If so, they're coming to the game."
"Yes, I'm twirling fire."

Summer of '07: Forty years and three skin cancers later, I stayed out of the sun this summer. I'm still writing, still playing the piano, and I still twirl in my backyard. But in my dreams, I'm on the football field, giving the quarterback the eye but leaving with someone else. "I'm gonna wait 'til the stars come out and see the twinkle in your eye. In the midnight hour."
Summer of Love: I was in Vietnam in the summer of '67, fighting for my country in a war that I never should have been involved in. I witnessed death and friends committing suicide. I went to Vietnam on a ship for 30 days where a lot of weird things happened. I started to say that gets you prepared for war, but nothing gets you prepared for war.
Like Iraq, the war in Vietnam was probably based on a lie. I get emotional when I talk about it because very few people know I served in the Army. I also get choked up when I think about how naive I was. Knowing what I now know, I think I still would have served, and I think many of my peers still would have served. But it filled us with fear, filled us with many emotions. We tried to laugh to keep from crying. So that's my remembrance– trying to stay alive and survive so I could come back and return to school.
Summer '07: A major blessing because I now have time to think, remember, and write.
Summer of Love: I was a junior in high school, a supporter of Richard Nixon, and president of my school's National Honor Society. In the summer of '69, though, I hitchhiked to Woodstock. I was living in Syracuse, and it was only two and a half hours away. My ride dropped me off at the fence, and then the fence went down. I was in the fifth row when the whole thing started. I saw Ravi Shankar, Santana, the Jefferson Airplane– a whole lot of great performers. I had to walk 10 miles to get out of there because the traffic wasn't moving at all. I had shorter hair then than I have now. No beard, even at Woodstock.
Summer '07: I saw the Sound of Music at Ash Lawn-Highland.
Summer of Love: I had just graduated from high school and was headed for college at "Mary Wash," then the women's branch of UVA, in Fredericksburg, where I stayed for two years before transferring to George Washington University in D.C. That fall at Mary Washington was when I really got turned onto psychedelic rock and all the accompanying stuff. I had all the albums: Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Hendrix, Buffalo Springfield, and of course the Beatles, in addition to groups like the Lemonpipers and Silver Apples, now gone from our lives forever. But we were listening and dancing to Smokey Robinson, Otis Redding, Aretha, and James Brown, too.
I was just thinking as I was having a cup of coffee the other day about the summer of '67 and how not only was I wondering if the guy I was dating in high school and I would survive going off to college, I was also wondering if the other guy I was dating, who was enlisting in the Marine Corps and would soon to be shipped off to Vietnam, would make it back in one piece. He did, eventually. I didn't associate him with flower power, etc., which is what I usually think of, kneejerk– 1967. In any case, it was Major Heartbreak all the way around, as can be imagined.
Most of my hippie-chick, paisley bell-bottom, aviator-glasses life was jump-started that first school year, 67/68, which is when the East Coast finally caught on to what the West Coast was doing. I went to my first Happening that year... we just sort of congregated in a park and sat around on the ruined grass and got stoned and smiled a lot. Maybe someone waxed political (or poetical?), but no one paid much attention. It was beautiful, man.
Summer of '07: I spent a few days helping my daughter move to Berkeley, where she's starting graduate school in journalism. Berkeley, the perfect place to be 40 years after the very groovy summer of love. I loved being there.
Summer of Love: I was going into my fourth year at UVA, and I was in ROTC, so I knew from watching TV and reading the news that I was going off to Vietnam at some point. So I was just having as much fun as possible, living like there was no tomorrow, and trying to pretend I wasn't worried about going off to war.
That summer, though, I spent a lot of my nights going to McIntire Park for dance parties. They'd book a band, and there wouldn't be any drinking or anything, just dancing all night at the shelter.
I can honestly say I didn't know what marijuana was until I went off to navigators' training in San Diego, after I graduated. And there was a lot of it in Vietnam. It hadn't gotten to my group of white collar college kids. I was a Zeta Psi, and we drank gallon after gallon, keg after keg, of beer.
Summer of '07: I had knee replacement surgery and was in the hospital for a month. After that, I was doing physical therapy to rehab it. I had also accepted the coaching job at Albemarle, and we started practicing in August getting to know each other.
Summer of Love: It was my first summer away from home. I was a second-year drama student, and I'd gotten my first paid job with the Penn State Summer Theatre Festival, working as an apprentice to get my Actors' Equity card. They hired me to do two plays, but the contract said three. To justify my meager salary, they created a role for me in Dürrenmatt's The Physicists. In the original play, a nurse gets murdered offstage. In this version, I was the nurse, and as people were coming into the theater, a mad scientist strangled me. I was on the floor the first act as the dead nurse.
I think [State College] was Happy Valley, it was so isolated. It was pretty removed from [drug experimentation]. Alcohol was the drug of choice. I don't remember anyone smoking dope.
Two years later, I was supposed to go to Woodstock and my sister said, "Sorry, my dear, you're my maid of honor."
Summer of '07: I had my hand in a paint bucket and helped my husband launch a new business.
Summer of Love: That was the year my anti-war experience began. There was a student strike, and I was the leader of my ninth-grade class at James Madison High School in Brooklyn. I remember I was challenged by the math teacher who taunted all the students for the free day off. But I had all my arguments together because my father was very anti-war and talked about it at the dinner table. There were so many demonstrations, and I saw Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin... a lot of protests.
It could have been in 1968 or '69, but this was the most summer of love thing I remember: a rumor spread all over Brooklyn that the Grateful Dead were going to play in Prospect Park, which is sort of the Central Park of Brooklyn. We met people going through the woods trying to find this concert. By the time we got to the meadow, there were several thousand people. Well, the whole rumor was untrue, but we spent the whole day partying in the park. I remember a lot of long hair, a lot of pot smoke in the air, and impromptu music.
Summer of '07: On July 21 I met some good friends from my teen years in New York. We went to Prospect Park and saw a tribute to Doc Pomus with Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, and Ben E. King from the Drifters.

April 15, 2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (seminoles.com) – Florida State softball sophomore pitcher Lacey Waldrop pitched a dominant complete-game shutout on Monday evening at JoAnne Graf Field as the 25th-ranked Seminoles defeated Virginia, 2-0, in front of an ESPNU national audience.
Waldrop (17-7) picked up her fourth shutout and her 10th complete game of the season against the school that resides in her home state. The Chester, Va. native threw seven innings and allowed just two hits while striking out 10, helping move along a game that took just 1 hour 35 minutes to complete.
Waldrop retired the Virginia side in five of her seven innings pitched. For the Florida State pitching staff, it was the 15th time in 48 games played that the opposition was held to two hits or less this season. The only base hits recorded against Waldrop were a chopping infield single by Shannon McGinley in the third and a leadoff single by Marcy Bowdren in the fourth frame.
"Throughout the season you're going to have your ups and downs and have different people carry you," head coach Lonni Alameda said. "We're taking everything game by game right now, and it's a lot of fun playing in front of our fans here at home. It was fun tonight to watch some good pitching."
The pitchers' duel victory for the Seminoles (34-14, 13-2) gives them a three-game lead in the ACC standings over second-place North Carolina with six conference games left. Florida State's two final ACC series are daunting games on the road, including a three-game set at Virginia Tech on April 20-21 and a series at Georgia Tech on April 27-28.
Virginia pitcher Melanie Mitchell (13-13) was also impressive against a Florida State group hitting .313 entering the ballgame. Mitchell allowed two runs on four hits in six innings pitched with six strikeouts while absorbing the loss.
The key contributors at the plate for Florida State were redshirt sophomore Maddie O'Brien and senior Morgan Bullock. O'Brien finished 1-for-2 and recorded a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning, marking her third consecutive game with a round-tripper.
Bullock added to her splendid senior season by going 2-for-2 with a key RBI single. The Dacula, Ga. native now leads Florida State with a .366 batting average.
Monday's win for the Seminoles was their 73rd in 90 meetings with Virginia, the most games they've played against any ACC squad. O'Brien's big home run marked the 48th this season for Florida State, putting it just one shy of tying the school record of 49 held by the 2007 team.
O'Brien catapulted the Seminoles on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second inning when she launched a solo shot to centerfield, her eighth of the season. It was O'Brien's third straight game with a home run.
Bullock added to the lead in the bottom of the fourth with a key two-out, RBI bloop single down the left field line. With one out, Kelly Hensley recorded her first triple of the season on a towering shot that hit off the top of the wall in left center to help create the scoring chance.
Scoring chances were minimal for both teams in what was a pure pitcher's duel. Virginia's best opportunity came in the fourth inning following Bowdren's leadoff single. Waldrop came back to strike out Megan Harris, and after a groundout by Alex Skinkis advanced Bowdren to second base, Aimee Chapdelaine struck out swinging to finish the frame.
Leading 2-0 in the top of the seventh, Waldrop mowed down the middle of the order. The game ended on a spectacular play from O'Brien at shortstop where she ranged to her right on a hard-hit grounder from Chapdelaine and threw her out to punctuate the victory.
Florida State hosts third-ranked Florida in its final home regular season game of the season on Wednesday, April 17. The matchup will be on ESPN3.com at 6 p.m. at JoAnne Graf Field, with shakers being passed out to fans in attendance.
Following the game on Wednesday against the Gators, fans can participate in the Home Wrecker Home Run Derby brought to you by Moe's Southwest Grill. To register or ask questions, please email email@example.com.

You can tell that I haven't worn these gorgeous white satin flat forms outdoors yet because I haven't been able to run them yet, but it's one of my favourite luxury pieces in my wardrobe to style things with- Lolita yet still sugary sweet with an air of fairy tale class. I've more or less kept them locked away from the world since I consider them to be do precious and close to my heart. Unfortunately the ribbon ties around the ankles have a slit tendency to fall down as they have in the above photograph no matter how tightly I wrap them around my poor little legs. I've deluded myself into thinking I can still find Vivienne Westwood rocking horse heels with gorgeous plastic wings along the ankle saps, but then I reminded myself how bad ass these were and I got over it pretty quickly. The skirt has yet to be shared with you guys, but it balances well with the short and quirky pink singlet top that I'm proud to say is one of a kind.
Clearly I never had any sort of ambition towards dancing or being pretty when I was in primary school, so I was super proud when I finally managed to get the ankle ties to stay upright for this one shot. It also shows the extent to which I've stayed out of the sun these last few months because I've lost the luster of my tan which is instead replaced with a poky pink tinge hue on my legs- a season or two of living in skirts, shorts and doses should fix that (weather permitting). Push come to shove I will isolate myself within an air conditioned sanctuary of a shopping centre, not wear the gorgeous ballet shoes which I am so thoroughly in love with at the moment and instead work during the entire summer seldom taking time off for some music festivals and buying clothes online during my break between study years. Sigh, it's not easy being a work-a-holic, but someones got to do it.
Part of what attracted me so much to this quirky skirt was how long it was, there was plaid and there was so much of it I was a little overloaded by how much sumptuous material there was for me to wrap myself in, but it looks a little when I wear and long slouchy sweaters with a mid length skirt as well when going out for dinner... Luckily this weekend the is terrible weather abound and I can probably get away with wearing my perfect lazy outfit when driving around and getting a little practice in. Behind the wheel, it's very difficult for people to judge you on your looks past the windshield which is a relief considering my hair tends to have a mind of its own and there's so much of it all over the place. Back on the subject of my lovely vintage skirt, short cropped shirts will be its new best friend and give me a little more motivation to keep fit and let those lovely ribs of mine shone on the summer sun.
In case you haven't noticed I tend to be extremely lazy when it comes to doing anything with my hair- generally I keep it out, luscious and long but I do wish I was clever enough to perform milk maid braids and updos myself. Instead, all I can't manage is adding a little volume topside to my hair with a boring old headband- it seems that I'll need to scrounge around second hand shops and make some DIY crowns with floral as well as sparkly pipe cleaner magic. It will definitely make a nice companion to lipstick which again I'm getting into.

It is another birthday card, this time using a winter set of stamps from Hobby Art
About Moi
I was born in June 1981, I'm a hearing impaired paper-crafter who loves all things crafty. I sew, although I'm still very much a novice at sewing. I bake and cook hopefully all kinds of delicious treats. I have a huge passion for photography and the camera {yes I'm old school I still use an actual camera} is never far from me. I also love creative writing from making up sentiments/verses for my cards and other paper-craft projects to penning some fiction. I am an avid reader and I may even throw in some book reviews on here too!

Rozella Meijer-Kern is the featured guest designer this week, She created a really beautiful layout to share with all of you, but first here is a little about her, "I'm Rozella Meijer-Kern and I live in the Netherlands. I am married to my husband Peter and we have two beautiful girls Lysanne and Julia. I discovered scrapbooking a few years ago and have been addicted ever since. Through scrapbooking I keep my memories alive but above all I get to be creative. I love using lots of flowers and bling. Mostly I love to create scrapbook pages and I have been published in various magazines and serve on several design teams. I am honored and excited for the opportunity to be part of Liz's guest designers.
Close Ups of Rozella's WorkScrap ala Rose for more information about her and details about her work.
Teresa Fenstermacher is back again this week with her amazing design. Here is what she had to say about working with my sketch, "Once again, I completely enjoyed working with Liz's sketch. My layout went together like a dream. I love how Liz puts so many layers in her sketches yet they have very clean lines. The addition of the circle is perfect. I stayed true to the sketch with the exception of using one photograph instead of two because this adorable picture of my grandson had to take center stage! The papers I used are from the Fancy Pants "Like Father Like Son" line. When you have a sketch with this many layers, it is nice to be able to go to one paper line to get 3 or 4 different patterns that coordinate so you can layer them up. Thanks Liz for another awesome sketch and for the opportunity to design for you!"
Teresa Jaye is Here to Play for more information about her and details about her work.
Pat Bishop is also back again this week with another of her wonderful designs. She said this about working with the sketch this week, "For this layout, I used Cosmo Cricket's Over Easy, and Bazzill cardstock. I also cut scalloped circles and embossed them to kind of look like tires to mirror the ones in the photos. I kept the layout pretty much the same as the sketch with just a few added embellishments."

Thank you so much for stopping by -

Morning Min, sad news eh. The pyramids, I believe, were cased in limestone, a somwhat variable material but not exactly durable, Sandstone, which I believe is what most of the Sphinx is of is also fairly soft.
But the argument that that the weathering is from wind blown sand simply won't stand up. Whereas water could erode either material in horizontal or vertical ways I cannot see sand weathering anything in vertical strips, that has to be water!
According to climatoligists the last time Egypt saw that much water was at the end of the last ice age.
I leave you to make your own deductions, the rocks never lie!

Crabtree & Evelyn's Avocado, Olive and Basil Body and Hand Care collection launches this month. It's a delicious scent of avocado, olive blossom, basil, sage with hints of lemon. I've been testing the Shower Gel, Body Lotion and Hand Therapy for a few weeks and find it to be so refreshing. The smell is crisp and clean. I used the Bath & Shower Gel as bubble bath a few times, and it made my entire bathroom smell like a Mediterranean spa. The scent is also man-approved. While the lotion may be too fragrant for the dudes, he will reach for the shower gel in the shower. Guaranteed.
As with all Crabtree & Evelyn collections, I tend to favor the Hand Therapy. This now lives at my desk at work, and I use it constantly. With avocado butter, shea butter, macadamia nut and olive oils, I can't not obsessively slather it all over my hands!

I do not live locally to Keith Motors Christchurch. Approx. 3 years I was on the Motorway driving to the coast and had a problem with my Kuga of that time. On arrival at my destination I started looking for a local Ford agent and found my way to Keith Motors where I found them to be very helpful. My own local Ford agent, from whom I had purchased my car, had unfortunately closed and so when the next service was due I took my car to Keith Motors. Everything went well and on the strength of that my wife decided to have her car serviced there as well. We have, for the last 3 years had our cars serviced at Keith Motors without problem. I'd recommend them to all.

A nearby tea shop was having a sale on matcha (green tea powder) so I bought a 100 gram container to try for baking. I figured that if I didn't like baking with it then I would just chalk the whole thing up to experience (it only cost $8). Matcha may not be everybody's cup of tea (yes, pun intended). It could be too bitter for some or too earthy for others. But if you love green tea ice cream, then chances are you'll love matcha in baked goods too.
I've seen the matcha shortbread (aka green tea sweets) that's been making its way around the blogosphere and I had originally planned to use my newly purchased matcha for that purpose. But at the last minute I decided to go a different route for my first foray into matcha territory. I modified a pinwheel cookie recipe from Fine Cooking magazine #68. Instead of dark chocolate I used matcha and white chocolate. I kept the vanilla dough pretty much the same.
The resulting cookie is very much like a typical sugar cookie. It's sweet, buttery and slightly crisp. I would've called it child friendly if not for the green tea (unless your child, like my nephews, actually likes matcha).The white chocolate tempered the bitter edge of the matcha without masking the flavor of the matcha. The vanilla and matcha doughs work very well together both flavorwise as well as aesthetically. The grassy green and creamy yellow reminds me that spring is just around the corner.
As you can see from the pictures my vanilla layer is a bit thicker than my matcha layer. I decided not to stress about it and roll it up anyway. Since the recipe makes 9 dozen cookies, I decided not to do all pinwheels. I also made some randomly blended, quasi-marbled ones and some solid matcha cookies with a bit of coarse sugar on the edges. That way everyone could choose their ideal ratio of vanilla to matcha.
Matcha Sugar Cookies
(makes about 9 dozen cookies)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
10 ounces (2 1/2 sticks / 1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter, softened at room temp
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp matcha (green tea powder)
2 tbsp powdered sugar
3 ounces high quality white chocolate, melted and still barely warm
Sift together flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add egg and egg yolk and vanilla extract; mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Add flour mixture and, on low speed, mix until just combined. Remove 2 cups of the dough and set aside. This is the vanilla dough.
On low speed, add the matcha and powdered sugar to the remaining dough in the stand mixer bowl and mix until just combined. Then mix in the melted white chocolate until well combined.
Divide each flavor of dough into three fairly equal pieces. (You should have 6 pieces: 3 matcha and 3 vanilla.) Wrap each piece in plastic and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes.
Roll one piece of matcha dough into a 7x7 inch square. Roll one piece of vanilla dough into a 7x7 inch square. Trying to line up the edges as best as you can, place the vanilla dough on top of the matcha dough. Gently roll over the dough to seal the two layers together.
Roll your layered dough into a tight log. After the log is formed, gently roll it back and forth on the counter to slightly elongate and compact it. The log should be about 9 inches long and about 1.5 inches in diameter. Wrap the log in plastic wrap. Repeat with the other pieces of dough. Refrigerate dough logs for 2 hours or freeze up to 2 months.
Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Working with one log at a time, slice the dough into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place rounds on your prepared baking sheets (space them about 1 inch apart). Bake at 350F for 12-14 minutes or until the tops of the cookies look set. Cool on baking sheet for 1-2 minutes then gently transfer cookies to a wire rack.

Powers Firearms Training Corporation
We are a husband and wife owned and operated firearms training business specializing in firearms training for women and families. A substantial portion of our business is concealed weapons permit training and security guard training. We also spend a many hours weekly training women who are new to firearms and often quite ambivalent. We focus upon the core value of operating the firearm safely. We strive to assist our clients in training to safely use the firearm in defensive applications. We devote a portion of our courses to the legal application of force in protection of hearth and home. We also engage in basic firearms training along with a variety of training for security professionals.
Our classes are very family oriented, with homemade cookies being one of the well known aspects of many of our classes. We provide a friendly nurturing environment where our clients can come to acquire the skills necessary to protect self, friends and family by judicious application of firearms. We strive to make our classes a place where people of any background, race, creed or religion can come and feel welcome. We have achieved satisfactory success so far but have evolved our focus and have now incorporated. We need a logo which will identify us to our clients.
Most of our clientele are local professional business owners or employees of those businesses. Many of our clients are government employees such as non-sworn employees of law enforcement agencies, Judges, and court clerks. Retired citizens are a substantial portion of our clientele and many are retired military. We also have a substantial portion of the market share in our area teaching women to shoot firearms and many of these women have no military, law enforcement nor any other firearms experience. Many of these women are very timid at what is often their first introduction to firearms training. We do not want to scare these folks away with a "Tactical" or militaristic look.
While the "outdoorsman or outdoorswoman" is a portion of the business, some of our clients would not classify themselves as such. Many carry firearms on a daily basis but some only have firearms in their homes. Very few of our clients would not consider their firearms for defensive usage.
Our clients come from all walks of life but share a common interest in the legal, safe and appropriate use of firearms.
We are looking for a Logo to headline our business. We will be using our logo for our website where most of our clients may go to check schedules. We will be redesigning the website so that clients may book enrollment into classes.
The logo will be used for business cards, fliers, certificates and perhaps promotional materials. It is anticipated we will eventually branch the logo out into t-shirts and hats. So a logo which can be rendered in a two color format will be given weight.
Many businesses which offer firearms training are very "tactical" in nature. We avoid the militaristic and tactical "look" and stress the legal and judicious application of force when necessary. We do not want an overt "tactical" look however we recognize that many of our clients will recognize and be comfortable with symbols such as shields as a more neutral symbol. We are open to shields, swords, spears, lightening bolts, hammers and other ancient or ancestral symbols. Our ancestral heritage includes Swedish, Irish and American Indian ancestors. Latin phraseology is a common symbol used by training schools and was used by Col. Cooper. Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas. (which we do not wish to pirate but is noted for example to the designer)
We are looking for a logo which will indicate safety and application of force in protection of hearth and home.

We're a small software company (Serlio Software) in a market dominated by big players. We don't use email very often to communicate with our customers and prospects, but when we do, we want the email to look respectable and credible.
We target Business Analysts and Project Managers who work in the IT departments of companies worldwide. These folks are always busy and reasonably tech-savvy.
We only send an email when we have something valuable to share with our audience. The design shouldn't distract - it should bring a bit of credibility and visual appeal to the single thought that we try to convey in each email.
The look of the email should match the style of our website: http://www.casecomplete.com.
The template should include:
-The CaseComplete logo (attached)
-Space to include a body text of a short message. The message will be short, so it's okay if the body font is a bit larger than a typical email.
-A way to include a call to action in the message (either a link or a button)
-An optional place to embed a picture in the message (e.g. if we'd want to include a screenshot)
The email should be readable even if the reader does not download the images.
I've attached the logo as well as three examples of email templates I like.

Important notice: fraudulent job offers
It has come to our attention that emails and job adverts have been created and circulated by unknown individuals for the purpose of attempting to defraud candidates.
Potential candidates should be wary of approaches that appear to be offering a job for which they have not applied, especially if personal details or money must be sent in order to proceed with the recruitment. Neither Ericsson nor any commissioned third parties recruit in this manner. Such approaches are almost certainly fraudulent attempts to gain details of identity for illegal use.
Ericsson is taking all necessary steps to investigate this matter further.

A woman was parked at Wal-Mart just after midnight on July 4 when she was robbed by a man who said he had a gun.
The victim said she was in her car with her two children waiting for her husband, who was in the store, when a man tapped on her window, according to Banks County Sheriff Charles Chapman. She said she opened the window and the man, descried as a slender white man with sandy blond hair, demanded her purse and said he had a gun. She gave him her purse and he left in a beige or gold colored four-door vehicle, driving toward Jackson County.
No one was injured.
The Banks County Criminal Investigations Division is investigating the armed robbery.

Dr. Victor Claar, associate professor of economics, participated in an alumni panel discussion on Friday, Oct. 3, as part of the sesquicentennial celebration of his alma mater, Houghton College in New York.
A 1987 graduate of Houghton College, he was one of four alumni participating in the discussion "Pursuing Our Calling in... Business."
Established in 1883 and grounded in the Wesleyan tradition, HoughtonCollege celebrating its 125th anniversary with a series of activities that ran Thursday-Sunday, Oct. 2-5, and were designed around the theme "Celebrating the Journey... Transforming the World." The activities on Friday afternoon included 11 panels on a variety of topics featuring a cross-section of alumni selected to "serve as exemplar case studies of how graduates who come through the 'Houghton experience' can find fulfillment and satisfaction in a variety of endeavors and perspectives."
In the block of sessions in which Claar participated, the panelists were invited to focus on their professional callings, to share challenges and pleasures they have experienced, and to encourage students in their academic pursuits in becoming agents of change in the world. Topics included "Must I compromise my ethics to compete in business?," "How do I balance the twin motives of Christian faith and financial profit?," "What are some points of tension between the common activities of business and the tenets of faith?," and "What is the best advice for early-career business professionals?"
Claar has been a member of the Hope faculty since 2000. He majored in business administration and mathematics at Houghton College. He completed his M.A. and doctorate at West Virginia University in 1995 and 2000 respectively.
His areas of research include the macroeconomic implications of behavioral economics, time series econometrics, and forgiveness. He spent the 2006-07 school year teaching and conducting research in Armenia through an award from the Fulbright Scholar Program.
He and Hope colleague Dr. Robin Klay are co-authors of the book "Economics in Christian Perspective: Theory, Policy and Life Choices," published in 2007 by InterVarsity Press. He has presented his research in several conferences including the Southern Economic Association and the International Atlantic Economic Society. His research has appeared in journals such as "Public Finance Review," and he has served as a referee for the "Journal of Money, Credit, and Banking," the "Journal of Public Economics" and the "Review of Political Economy." He also serves as an adjunct scholar at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy in Midland.
