Famous quotes by Kirsten Dunst:
"I'm very mature for my age, but I'm also innocent in a lot of ways."
"My mom raised me so wonderfully. She gave me self esteem and made me appreciate my flaws, as well as my strengths."
"Boys frustrate me. I hate all their indirect messages, I hate game playing. Do you like me or don't you? Just tell me so I can get over you."
"But the real secret to total gorgeousness is to believe in yourself, have self confindence, and try to be secure in your decisions and thoughts."
"Why would I cry over a boy? I would never waste my tears on a boy. Why waste your tears on someone who makes you cry?"
"I'd like to grow up and be beautiful. I know it doesn't matter, but it doesn't hurt."
"Everybody smokes! Models, actresses, everyone! Don't they realize that it's gross? I understand it's an addiction, but it still pains me to see my friends do it."
"In movies, I hope women aren't always portrayed as sex symbols. People like Drew Barrymore are paving the way for girls my age. Hopefully I can pave the way for young actresses, too."
"I wanted to get an angel wings tatooed on my back, as a guardian thing."
"Madonna is my role model she's such a powerful woman. I love Gwenyth Paltrow, she's an actress I aspire to be like. And, of course, my mom. She drove me from New Jersey to New York every day for commercials so I could get where I am today."
"I want to play an action hero. I'm ready for roles that totally aren't me."

They may be hidden, but I've got my passions
I just don't parade around like some homecoming queen
Take a look here I am, can't you see
One simple smile from you could set me free
So if you take a look let your heart be your guide

Darth Vader's 'Rogue One' Castle Helps Him Harness Sith Energy
By Caitlin Busch
Filed Under Entertainment, Star Wars, Star Wars: Rogue One & Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Darth Vader's castle on Mustafar isn't just in a significant location because that's where he killed his wife, Padmé Amidala (and, uh, lost all his limbs). Doug Chiang, Lucasfilm concept artist and Rogue One co-production designer, revealed in a recent interview that Vader's castle actually sits on the "foundation of an ancient structure." Part of that contains a cave with a lake of lava where Vader goes to meditate with the help of his "tuning fork" castle.
In an interview with StarWars.com regarding the design behind Rogue One, Chiang said that creating Vader's castle was partly inspired by concept art from original Star Wars trilogy concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, "where Luke actually visits Vader in this underground lava cave. I always thought that was such a compelling image, because you have this lava lake inside this cave and there was Vader's throne." Building upon that, the team decided that the lava dam for the castle was going to be a much older structure than the tower, which Vader would have been responsible for. The original building harnessed power from the lava — maybe acting as an energy source of some sort, but the "tuning fork" tower was all Vader.
"One of the things we landed on early was this idea of a tuning fork, a twin tower kind of look. And it was really interesting, because then that started to give Gareth a lot of ideas like, 'Well, maybe the structure is built this way because it is like a tuning fork. It's tuning the dark side in terms of the energy.' And then, we actually carried that even further to Jedha. The Jedha temple, the tower there, mirrors this, but on the good side. So when you see the film, you can start to see, 'Okay, Jedha had its own tower, which was configured like a tuning tower. Vader's tower, Vader's castle, had the same thing, but it was made in black, whereas Jedha was white.'"
Concept art by Ralph McQuarrie for Darth Vader's castle in the original 'Star Wars' trilogy.
Darth's attempts to harness the Dark Side even more might explain why he's in full ass kicking mode at the end of Rogue One when he takes on the Rebels and wins by a longshot and a lightsaber. And this confirmation of the castle's innate powers might further confirm the fan theory that Vader's castle might be the one thing that ties Rogue One to Episode VIII. If Kylo Ren knows that his grandfather's castle will help him grow closer to the Dark Side, then that's all the more reason to go there.
The world will have to wait for answers, though, until Episode VIII arrives in theaters December 15, 2017.

Dr. Jihad Kaouk is an American Board certified Urologist who helps patients within Cleveland Clinic's Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute as the Director of the Center of Advanced Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery. He also serves as a Professor of Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University.
Complementing his role as Director, Jihad Kaouk, MD, holds the position of Institute Vice Chair for Surgical Innovations and the chair holder for the Zegarac-Pollock Endowed Chair in laparoscopic and robotic surgery in the Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute. Dr Jihad Kaouk is listed in Who's Who in America and Top Docs in America and recently listed on Microsoft academic search as one of the top 10 authors in urology world wide.
As such, he has performed groundbreaking surgical procedures, including the first robotic single port surgery through the belly button in 2008 and the first completely transvaginal kidney removal in 2009. These procedures, executed by Dr. Kaouk and his team, proved minimally invasive enough that the hospital discharged the patient within a day of the operation. Dr. Kaouk has one of the largest experiences in robotic surgery in the country with more than 1,200 robotic radical prostatectomy and about 500 robotic partial nephrectomy that he performed through the last 10 years. Recently, Dr. Kaouk patented a device for radiofrequency cauterization and the extraction of tissue used mainly during partial nephrectomy.
An MD with professional responsibilities beyond direct patient care, Dr. Kaouk presently works with a number of committees associated with the Cleveland Clinic, including the Robotic Steering Committee and the International Medical Education Committee. Moreover, Dr. Kaouk engages in the academic progress of his field in his role as the Associate Editor of Urology journal, and as a Section Editor for The Journal of Robotic Surgery and the Arab Journal of Urology. He also acts as an Ad Hoc Reviewer for a number of peer-reviewed publications, among them the Journal of Urology, the Journal of Endourology, the British Journal of Urology International, and the World Journal of Urology. Previously, he has been a Guest Editor for Urology's special supplement on renal cryoablation, and for a special issue of the British Journal of Urology International.
Since 2005, Dr. Kaouk has served on committees at the national and local levels. From 2005 to 2008, he belonged to the American Urological Association's Urologic Diagnostic and Therapeutic Imaging Task Force, and from 2006 to 2010 he was on the Guide Panel of the Management of Incidentally Discovered Renal Masses committee.
Dr. Kaouk has lectured in more than 130 scientific meetings, chaired more than 20 urologic meetings and performed live surgery demonstrations in 18 medical centers worldwide. He has more than 260 peer reviewed scientific publications, 18 book chapters and hundreds of scientific abstracts and surgical illustration movies. Dr. Kaouk received 32 honors and awards for his work in the professional field, including the Cleveland Clinic innovator award (which he won twice) and best surgical illustration movies. Prior to establishing his reputation as an innovative practitioner, Dr. Kaouk earned his medical degree from the American University of Beirut Medical Center and completed his Internship in General Surgery and his Residency in General Surgery and Urology at the same establishment.
Presently, Dr Kaouk holds membership with the American Urological Association, the Endourological Society, the Society of Robotic Surgery, and the Lebanese Order of Physicians. He possesses active medical licenses to practice in the states of Ohio, Utah and Indiana.
Flexible Robotic Retrograde Renoscopy: Description of a Novel Robotic Device and Preliminary Laboratory Experience.
Development of Innovative Surgical Techniques:Performed the initial laboratory work on laparoscopic radical cystectomy (removal of bladder) and intracorporeal urinary diversion. This eventually helped in development of laparoscopic radical cystectomy and urinary diversion that is widely performed at present. Dr Kaouk received First Prize in the 18th World Congress on Endourology and Shockwave, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 2000. The research was published in J Endourol, 15(2): 131-142, 2001 "Laparoscopic Orthotopic Ileal Neobladder."
Developed technique for robotic radical prostatectomy and sural nerve grafting. This technique allows the surgeon to graft a nerve from the patient's leg to the area of excised prostate to restore continuity of nerves responsible for potency in men. This microsurgical technique was published and referenced in Medline as follows: Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Sural Nerve Grafting during Radical Prostatectomy: Initial Experience. J Urol, 170(3): 909-912, 2003.
Developed a technique of nerve-sparing robotic radical prostatectomy that uses laser energy to dissect tissue with minimal collateral damage. The initial laboratory work and initial clinical series was published at the American Urological Association meeting in 2007.
Pioneered single-port laparoscopic surgery in urology. Laparoscopic surgery usually requires several small incisions. With single-port surgery, Dr Kaouk was able to perform various laparoscopic procedures through a single incision. Most of these procedures were first ever done in urology such as single-port laparoscopic nephrectomy, cryoablation, renal cyst excision, sacrocolpopexy, varicocelectomy, radical prostatectomy and radical cystectomy. Dr. Kaouk and his team have the most extensive experience in single-port surgery in urology and they are now pioneering robotic applications for single-port surgery. Initial work was accepted in peer-reviewed journals (in press) in Urology journal and British Journal of Urology. Development of Surgical Instruments:Designed an instrument that can be used to perform laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with minimal risk of bleeding and without the need for advanced laparoscopic skills. The device uses radiofrequency ablation to create a bloodless zone around kidney tumor, then one can pass a knife to cut the tumor. Dr. Kaouk and Cleveland Clinic patented the device. Dr Kaouk received the Innovator Award for this device in 2006.
U.S. Patent - August 28, 2012: Apparatus and method of performing radiofrequency cauterization and tissue removal.
See publications for Jihad Kaouk, MD.
As of 12/6/2018, Dr. Kaouk has reported the financial relationships with the companies listed below. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by Cleveland Clinic. To learn more about Cleveland Clinic's policies on collaborations with industry and innovation management, go to our Integrity in Innovation page.
All. nurses were excellent. Dr. Kaouk provided excellent surgical care, but needs people skills.
Dr. Kaouk and his Physician Assistant were extremely nice and attentive professionals.
Dr. J. Kauk is extremely positive and made me know I was in competent hands. I recommend the Cleveland Clinic in general and Dr. Jihad Kauk specifically to everybody here in Buffalo.
Dr. Kaouk is one of the most experienced, intelligent and well respected doctors I have ever met. He is kind/caring, listens extremely well and knows his area of specialty amazingly well. He's basically saved my life twice.
*Dr. Kaouk is outstanding! From my experience, I place him #1 urologist in the world.
I am confident I will get the best possible care and most favorable outcome after my surgery from Dr Kaouk and his team.
everything was good except we waited over 2 hours from our appointment time for Dr Kaouk to come to the room. Then he spent about 2 minutes with us but we trust his expertise.
Dr. Kaouk and his staff have been excellent to work with over the past 2+ years. From the moment my wife and I met him, we felt we I was in the best hands. I can tell that he is one of the leading doctors in his field and appreciate him taking care of me. Nice man and a great doctor. His staff is equally awesome to work with.
Dr. Kaouk as well as his staff were very professional and kind. we researched Dr. Kaouk before making the appt and we were very impressed with his ongoing technology to recieve a better outcome for his patients!
The wait time in the doctors office was 3 hours. I know they are busy, but no one let me know during the 3 hour wait that he was running late or an estimated time he might be in. The doctor did not reference the wait time at all, let alone apologize. Everything else was good.
I did not have to wait long for any of the tests and scans. I was there and taken earlier and it was really no wait time at all. I did have a long wait in the exam room to see Dr. Kaouk. The doctor before him came in after I was in there for twenty minutes to tell me the result, then I waiting for at least an hour to see Dr. Kaouk.
*Dr. Kaouk might be the very best personable/knowledgeable surgeon I've met (I know several personally).
Very impressed with Dr. Kaouk and staff.
If the provider is on schedule, there is generally minimum wait time. Its pretty clear he is in high demand so some wait is to be expected. Wait time is made up for by a good sense of humor.
Something, don't know what, happened to Dr Kaouk's schedule. Waited hours past appointment time. Dr Kaouk, however, was apologetic, kind, unrushed, and attentive during the appointment.


Every time I hit "publish" on these Frugal Fashionista posts, I get a little sick tummy feeling.
I feel crazy putting myself out there as a Fashionista, especially when I know that 99.5% of the things in my closet were purchased second hand. Then, I ponder your past comments and it enables me to hit that button.
Do you know how it thrills my heart when people share that they have walked into a Goodwill for the first time since reading this series? Or that you've shopped your closet and realized that you have core wardrobe pieces that were forgotten?
Most of society screams, "You must dress, decorate and purchase this…" to succeed.
Had I not been secure in the why's and how's of why I dress, decorate and live frugally, that comment would have given me quite a few sleepless nights, and hurt feelings. Instead, my heart was sad for her. I love knowing that money doesn't drive who I am or where my worth lies.
Please know, that if you have never walked into a Goodwill or purchased an item from a yard sale, you are still my kind of sweet friend. Many of my closest friends just laugh with me (or at me, actually) when they hear how excited I get about scoring an amazing treasure for a $1.
For me, it's not about what we purchase, where we shop or how much we spend, it's just getting to the heart of the matter.
I haven't taken the time to dive into some of these personal finance issues, but I will as I share my "Riches to Rags" story this fall.
Sheesh, I didn't mean to climb up on a soap box, but can you tell I am passionate about this?
Now, onto my Frugal Fashionista…conference style outfits.
I am one that takes five minutes to pack, but when I looked in my suitcase after those five minutes, I found 3 outfits all in black, with spurts of color from the wraps I chose.
Hmm….I realized I needed to brighten it up a bit, and this outfit certainly did that.
I bought this skirt at a yard sale months ago. $1 with the store tags still hanging.
Since I wondered if it was a bit too bright, I had yet to wear it. But I wanted to wear those awesome red shoes and couldn't find something that worked…it was HOT outside.
When I matched it with an all white sweater, it brought it all together.
Both days I left my camera in the hotel room…what was I thinking?
Here is my attempt to recreate my Friday outfit…today.
At the Blogger Meet and Greet, one of my new favorite bloggers, Tina from Antique Mommy, gave me the once over and said, "You don't look like you're frugal." Love her!
You know how much I love wraps of all kinds.
Many people feel as if they can not wear black. They claim it washes them out, which may be true, and that makes me sad because I love black. Well, my suggestion is to spruce up all things black with splashes of vibrant color.
I love these because I can go from ultra casual to a night on the town look by adding heels (not that I get many of those, but hypothetically speaking ;).
Black tank top – $1 at Carolina Thrift (with the store tags still attached).
Shoes (pictured at the top of post) – $4 Goodwill.
Wrap – free from a friend who knows I love them and was going to give it to Good Will.
I should have spent a bit more time making sure the wrap wasn't crooked, but this gives you a sneak peak at how they are very versatile in their look.
On Saturday, I left my room at 8:30am and didn't make it back until midnight.
Sweet Stephanie from Dayspring/(in)courage took this for me in the wee hours.
And no, I didn't plan to match the carpet.
I found this dress the day before She Speaks at Goodwill for $5.
When you hit a larger thrift store, one tip is to look at the rack that the employees have recently wheeled out. Those are items that have just been donated that day and typically employees unpack bags/boxes at one time. and hang that grouping on the same rack.
If you happen to hit the jackpot of someone with designer clothing in your size, they will all be in that one spot. It doesn't happen often, but when it does…it ROCKS!
Another place I look is the dressing room rack where people have just put back what they don't want to purchase. This is how I found two fun dresses. Someone with great taste, in my size, took the time to search through for some gems. For whatever reason, she didn't want a hand full of items, and I loved everything she returned to the rack.
Crocs and they are SO comfortable.
It was really chilly in the hotel, so sweaters were a necessity. I would have worn a green cardigan, but since I had already worn green the day before, the $2 Limited white sweater was all I had packed.
I had a cute suit coat and pants picked out for my speaker evaluation group that evening, but when our blogging session, which included the launch of (in)courage ended late, I didn't have time to change.
Guess what one of the comments was about my appearance on evaluation? Inappropriate for speaking…skirt too short.
Sunday – I wore a cute pink top and black pants, but after having to redress today for my black/green outfit, I was not taking the time to do that again. So I stole this picture from Emily.
Thanks for coming along on my Frugal Fashionista conference style edition.
I love your frugal style and have purchased a few items from my local Goodwill after reading your first post in this series. Thanks for what you do!
You have incredible style, not "just for shopping secondhand," but by any measure.
I thought of your blog when my sister and I hit the jackpot at the dollar rack at our local Goodwill– I was literally in thankful, excited tears over a pair of like new black flat front pants the fit me perfectly, petite length and all! 🙂 Not to mention a mossy green boucle jacket that I'll be rocking with dark wash jeans this fall!
I am so thankful for folks like you, getting the word out that tighter budgets, the goal of getting out of debt and being good stewards of our resources does not have to mean sacrificing expressing ourselves with style, modesty and creativity.
Your upbeat and warm attitude encourage me to "keep on keeping on" with creative frugality.
I could not believe that the outfit you had on was all of $5. I am so impressed. It's not what you wear, but how you wear it and you wear it well.
One of the things about She Speaks that I was so delighted to see is that no one was focused on clothes. Refreshing.
You really have a gift for finding great deals at thrift shops! You look stunning, and the outfits gorgeous! I have a friend who always shops at thrifts shops and looks adorable, too.
I, on the other hand, feel overwhelmed merely walking into a thrift store. Instead, I seem to have a knack for finding stuff marked down at regular stores. Before the conference I shopped the 70% off rack at a local dept. store. It was buy one of 70% off…get the second piece for $1. Hard to beat!
Thank you SO much for writing Frugal Fashionista posts. If it weren't for girls like you, I would not be shopping at GW either…I would still be limping along on my very limited cheap-store clearance rack clothes. Instead, I have a growing collection of beautiful designer clothes that I've picked up for pennies on the dollar and I don't look frumpy any more. 🙂 I am still a little shy about admitting in public that I shop at GW…There seems to be a prevailing idea that only poor people shop there.
You are too foxy! I just have to tell you… my friend had a free yardsale today and I scored oodles of cute cloths. I have to go through them and perhaps donate some to the local thrift store… but what a bargain! FREE!
Jen, every time I see you you're always stunning! No one would ever know you shop the thrift stores, you beautiful woman!
Hello Jen – love your fabulous frugal outfits! You have such a great eye for pairing things together. I get so much inspiration from your blog! Thank you.
I love your posts. I am a clearance shopper all the way. I spend a little bit more than you do, but when you are a size 14 tall and an 11 shoe, it is hard to find stuff at goodwill! Either way, I love to see your posts! I got nine shirts and 2 dresses at Kohl's today for $30, so not too bad!
Hi Jen, I love your Fashionista posts and as I've only just recently found your blog I hope you don't stop doing them now! I am off out yard saling tomorrow … because of you:-) I haven't done it for a while, because, well it just gets too hot here in TX and to be honest I don't think there as many good sales during the summer months, the Fall is much better. But I found a community yard sale near by so I will go to that. I have to be honest and say I've never looked for clothes at a yard sale, I'm usually wanting books or household stuff, but again, you have inspired me and I will do just that tomorrow, and see if I get lucky. I'm not averse to wearing second hand clothes (I had to do it a lot growing up in England… we never had much money and I often got hand me downs from friends) but it's more for the reason I just don't seem to find anything (at Goodwill) that actually looks new! I really think I need to take a closer look and start using my imagination too. I love your outfit in black with the green wrap, I love that it has sleeves in it, it just looks so comfortable to wear.
I love going to Goodwill! It is always an experience!!!
I enjoy your FF posts. I have posted a couple of times recently about shopping my own closet b/c at this season we have a 0 budget for clothing. Thankfully I normally buy separates so I am having fun challenging myself to coordinate pieces in a different way.
Pooh on the sad woman who thought your skirt was too short!
You have amazing style–I love your thrifting posts. I love to shop the same way and am limited by my location, but have scored some great stuff when visiting larger communities.
Oh honey you looked fabulous! I've read your blog for a bit now so I knew you'd be sporting some previously adored thrift store finds. I like to do that myself. I like yard sales too but I can never find someone to go with me and I'd get lost in my own neighborhood so me driving is out of the question. I wish you lived closer!!!
Lost my last 2 comments here because of a dying battery, so here goes the short version, and hopefully will post!
Thought of you when I scored some great frugal finds last Fri at a garage sale! Practically new jeans that retail for $69 for only $1!! And cute heels for only $2! Whoo-hoo!
Please keep up these Frugal Fashionista posts, cause I love them! You are inspiring so many of us out there to dress our families fashionably for less, and in this economy, that (to quote Martha) is a "good thing"!
Thank you for what you do. You are a kindred spirit.
I love to see all your great finds! Who cares what other people think!
I have a hard time finding things for myself in thrift stores, but I have a friend who's closets are filled with thrift store clothes, and you would never know it.
My closets are also 90% thrift.. you look like one hot mama!
J, you are always so in style and I love that you go about it with such gracious stewardship. You are an encouragement to me!
Those blue espadrilles in your first pic…I bought a pair almost identical to those a few weeks ago at Goodwill! 😀 $3!!
I love this series!!! It is my most favorite!! You always look so classy!! It is inspiring!
I have such a difficult time finding clothes to fit (tried on 19 tops to get 3 today!) But I always go for the "steep" sales. I love to see how fashionable you always are & love the inspiration you are to so many of us. I did find some brand new in package jewelry at a yard sale recently for $1 (necklace & earrings!) Keep up the great ideas!
I think you have beautiful taste and great style. No one could ever know by looking that you've put together your fashionable wardrobe by thrifting. I love buying second hand anything but it's tough to find clothes in my size at the GW. I do shop Kohl's and Cato's sticking to the clearance racks saving money buying deeply discounted items. When you know who you are and you're secure in that knowledge then you have no desire to keep up with the Joneses or Smiths (since my name is Jones *smiles*) because your purchases will reflect your values and beliefs. Great job on your Frugal Fashionista series, keep it up, we all love it!
Hmmmm, I will say just one thing about the desperate comment. It is the times I have been most desperate that my creativity has been thrown into overdrive. That is usually when my best ideas come to light. Inspiration is 99% desperation, and the other 1% is the dollar you get to make something happen. I'd consider that a compliment in the highest form!
One of the things I wanted to share with you is that I love how comfortable you are with the camera. Your sweet face just works well on film. It really challenges me to have more fun when pictures are taken of me. I'm good at "the pose" and everything looks so scripted! Your blog challenges me to lighten up and embrace the face I've got!
Mahevelous, Dahling! You are mahevelous!
I tried the frugal fashionista myself and posted about it, with a link back to you, of course. Hope that is legal..??
You look so beautiful in all of your outfits!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow… your outfits are beautiful! What great finds! Please don't feel crazy for posting these posts… they are inspiring! I can't imagine the poor woman who thinks it is desperate to shop second hand.
Considering that the mainstay of my wardrobe is my collection of $2 t-shirts from the clearance rack at Target, I would say that your strategy is much better than mine! I have no style. Thanks for the free lessons & inspiration! Can you take me shopping with you sometime? Blessings!!!
I so have to laugh at the 'Keep up with the Joneses' saying. I am a Jones, and honey, let me tell you… anyone could far surpass what we have!lol I don't mind though. I love Yard Sales and Garage Sales! I seriously get a [thrill] when I spend $.25 on something when I know the person who bought it spent at least $15-20. My daughter was almost 5 before she really knew what a store looked like to buy clothes. Even now, she loves yard sales… teaching her young!!
For myself though, I have a hard time finding anything. I'm 6' tall, weigh more than I should, so it's very rare that I find something I can wear. But, I am losing weight, so I'm hoping in the not too far future, I can start looking for tops at least. Pants, that's a whole other story.
When I do buy in the stores, I love going to the outlet mall in Gaffney SC. I hit Lane Bryant when they are selling the previous season at way discounted prices, and then they'll be taking off even more. I bought a bunch of their capris last year, all the $39 and up ones for like $4.95 For my size… that's a steal! And because I knew I was losing weight, I went a size or two down, and they all fit great this summer! And then the ones I can't get into yet, I have for next.
I love the outfit in the first picture. I normally don't go for bright, vibrant colors but that outfit makes me want to try it!
You looked gorgeous dahling! And I tend to think that the lady who made that comment to you might be a wee bit desperate herself! You handle everything with such grace.
$25??? That's unbelievable. I know the quality of clothes that I DONATE to Goodwill…so I have no doubt you find amazing things there. I think I'm living on the wrong side of the equation, though.
BTW, so fun to meet you. You are even sweeter and more delightful in person than you are here.
I've got a cute pic of us…one of only four pictures I took at the conference.
I so look forward to your Frugal Fashionista posts. Whatever you do, don't stop them coming! Every outfit looked amazing and the dress didn't seem too short to be appropriate at all.
Ok, so like… you're my kind of lady. I mean seriously. My husband is an amazing provider… The only complaint that he has about my spending is that it's not enough. 🙂 Am I strange for feeling bad about paying $7 for a skirt? or $8 for a huge framed wall-art with the original price of $80 still on it?? I just really think FRUGAL ROCKS.
LOVE your conference outfits. You are certainly an inspiration, in so very many ways. I'm really liking the black and green combination lately.. and I love your floral skirt ensemble!
I am so very thankful for you! I am getting ready to go to our local church sale where most of the clothes are on 50 cents a piece! I would have never even looked until I read your stories. Last month I found some great high end name brand skirts! I have really built my school wardrobe up this summer because of your encouragement on the cheap. I can't wait to see what I find today! Keep it up sweetie!
My DH and I decided not to have credit cards, which people seems to think of as crazy. If we dont have the cash for it, we just don't buy it. After reading your blogg my sister and I will be going to Goodwill (which is opening a superstore around us!) You look like a million bucks, so let everyone know there is a bunch of equally "desperate" women right behind you. Desperate to show that we care more of spending time and money on our families than buying that terrific dress at Anne Taylor (which is by far my favorite store) we are in awe of how much you inspire us…keep the great looks coming!
Goodwill (and other thrift stores) are a treasure trove for sure! I find sometimes I get overwhelmed too but when I go looking for something specific, say a black skirt, I can fly through looking for just that color, etc. Even if you can't find a whole outfit for $5 on the cheap, certainly one item in an ensemble that you get for a few dollars helps out a bunch.
Thanks for sharing! Now I'm gonna have to plan on hitting Goodwill Monday – the day all weekend donations start popping out.
The wrap and the dress are my favorites!
My mom always taught us how to find great deals at thrift stores and garage sales- I don't buy a piece of clothing at retail price unless it's absolutely fabulous. You can also find great vintage jewelry!
The only thing I have trouble buying used is shoes. I dunno, it kinda grosses me out.
Oh, and I'm SO with you on that philosophy, girlfriend! I need to join your party again, I have a whole closet I could show off too. You do it so well for all us frugal fashionistas! And not ashamed of it. It's their loss if people are too proud to shop like this.
I love these posts and the pics!
Great to meet you last weekend, Jen! I could sense right away that you had a fantastic sense of style, but I had no idea you were THAT savvy. What an amazing post! And what a cutie you are. Thanks for sharing all your finds with us.
P.S. I haven't been able to get on your blog (that silly "abort" message), but I'm on my husband's computer and it works here. Hmmm. I'll be back!
Even this Nana is impressed with your ability to scope out those bargain clothes. Anyone can go into a store and buy a dress. Going to Goodwill takes time and effort and I'm proud to say I've done it and been successful. I don't buy everything there but then I am retired and I don't need a ton of clothes.
Thanks for inspiring all of us. Your classic black dresses are as beautiful as you'll see in any magazine.
Well aren't you just gorgeous in your thrifty outfits?! You pull it all together so well! I especially love that skirt with those awesome red shoes. AND, you're teaching your daughter such great lessons in fashion and frugality! You Rock!
Jen, I not only love the skirt outfit, I love your heart for blessing women through your gift. My sis has a friend who is much like you in this area. It is such a blessings to see what you have put together. For me it's all about the shoes.
Girl, this is seriously impressive. I'm inspired!
I love your style! I'd say 80% of my clothes were bought 2nd hand ~ my friends think I'm crazy but I feel good about being able to dress well without spending much to do so. I just love your blog!
The green and the black was my absolute favorite.
I thought you looked beautiful in the striped dress, too, with the white wrap.
OMGness! If you didn't tell anyone no one would know! You are gorgeous!!!
Yesterday I took a dear friend who hates to go shopping and has no idea what looks good together. She was whining that 4 people have tried to get clothes for her and nothing feels good. I took her to my favorite thrift store. I picked out 4 outfits within minutes that looked nice and were comfortable. She was so amazed. She spent less than $20. I about freaked out when we went to TJMaxx and her bill came to $80. TJMaxx used to be my place to get "deals", but not anymore. I'm addicted to yard sales and thrift stores.
I have just discovered you from the Nester and I must say, I am smitten with your blog! So much charm. Obviously a faithful woman. Beautiful and unassuming. Much like what I aspire to be and usually feel inadequate about. I have just subscribed for the doses of inspiration and fun. Thank you!
I just re-found your blog! I'm so thrilled you do these fashion posts! I was thinking of you this past week! I found a bigger Goodwill and a new-to-me Salvation Army near each other. I'll be going back into the work force next year. I was thinking that I have got you find your blog again. Somehow I stumbled back here through someone's link! Yea! Keep up the inspiration!
When I read your Frugal Fashionista comments about buying things from thrift stores and yard sales and your closet consisting of mostly those items, I laughed because it reminded me so much of myself and how I buy clothes and even most of my household items. The laughter came from thinking of my daughter asking from the time she was old enough to talk, "who gave this to me or what funny store did you buy this at?" She knew mommy didn't buy things in the same stores as other mommys did, so she called our thrift stores, funny stores. She would ask why we didn't buy our clothes at stores like other people did. I would tell her that we were really, really smart and saved lots of money by buying them at our funny store and from other people. To this day, she owns very few items bought from the "real" store. Because of the generosity of some Craig's List friends, and picking up my thrift store and yard sale treasures, she and I can dress in ways that we could only dream of, if we didn't get them at such great, cheap prices. I would not give anything for me finding these places and people to shop with. I will have to send a picture of one of her "Fashionista" outfits with prices, so you can see that my family is a 100% "Frugal Fashionista" family!

In the kindly but competitive world of children's books, Bev was a quiet colossus rather than a star.
Not that she missed out on the limelight. The redoubtable Eileen Colwell was an early admirer of her storytelling, her talents as a broadcaster led to a six year reviewing stint on BBC Radio 1, and the sheer spread of her publications for both children and adults - on view at the Quaker Memorial Meeting in Wigtown on May 19th - puts many more pushy kid-lit contenders to shame. Somehow, with Bev, the limelight was always refined into the glow of a good job jobbed.
It was the same when she became Children's Officer at the National Book League (later Book Trust) and with her founding directorship of REACH (the National Advice Centre for Children with Reading Difficulties) which received the Eleanor Farjeon Award in 1986. Even after 'retiring' to her beloved Wigtown - Scotland's National Book Town - Bev's commitment didn't flag. She completed an overhaul of the local festival's data-base just before she died. Unlike McCavity, when there was hard but vital work to be done, Bev was always there.
Not bad going, you may think, for someone who didn't move to Britain till she was forty. She was born and raised in Australia. This was the source, no doubt, of her drive, her grounded-ness, and her wonderful gift for friendship.
Clare School, Norwich at the Hungate Bookshop.
This year The Children's Bookshow is 10 with a lot to celebrate! The Children's Bookshow now reaches over 6000 children every year, bringing them the very best writers and illustrators from all over the world.
2012 sees is a thrilling line up of artists - 11 authors and illustrators performing in 12 venues across the country and a programme of free workshops in schools – starting in Bexhill on 28 September and finishing in Coventry on 8th November.
From internationally acclaimed artists such as Ulf Stark (Sweden) and Carll Cneut (Belgium), to household favourites Michael Rosen and Alexis Deacon, The Children's Bookshow is set to inspire and delight children with great poems, beautiful illustrations and fabulous stories.
It is not too late to book in for the one-day conference, which will include walks, lectures, readings, and parallel sessions on topics that will appeal to students, teachers, Dickens experts, and the 'interested reader'. The event will include an evening symposium of contemporary children's authors speaking on how reading Dickens has influenced their work. The venue is V&A Museum of Childhood, Bethnal Green, London.
Maurice Sendak (red scarf) is seen here with Norton Juster (left) at an exhibition opening of his work - November 2002.
Maurice Sendak has died aged 83. His long-time editor, Michael de Capua, told The New York Times that the author died in Danbury, Connecticut, USA, after complications from a recent stroke. He wrote some 17 books and was a prolific illustrator perhaps best known for his 1963 tale of Max - Where the Wild Things Are.
The Aldeburgh Festival is staging two performances of Where the Wild Things Are and Higglety Pigglety Pop with music by Oliver Knussen played by the Britten Sinfonia. Details on the festival website or bookings for the two performances (8 June at 7.30pm or 10 June at 2.30pm) ring 01728 687110. No more fitting tribute to a great artist.
Of this year's shortlist, Lissa Evans, Ali Lewis and Annabel Pitcher are all shortlisted for 2012 Carnegie Medal, the UK's most prestigious children's book award.
This year's judges are independent bookseller Kate Agnew, of The Children's Bookshop Muswell Hill; Carol Webb, 2011 School Librarian of the Year; Fiona Lafferty, editorial director of the Good Book Guide and Jason Wallace, author of Out of Shadows, winner of last year's Branford Boase Award. The panel is chaired by Julia Eccleshare, children's books editor of The Guardian.
Julia Eccleshare says: "In 1999, the year of the first award, only 20 titles were submitted. This year 61 submissions were made, many of those extremely impressive. Our shortlist is varied in setting, themes and voice but each book succeeds brilliantly in what it sets out to do." The winner of the Award will be announced on Thursday July 5th at a ceremony in London. The winning author receives a cheque for £1,000 and both author and editor receive a unique, hand-crafted silver-inlaid box.

The project will rolled out in Kisumu, Machakos, Isiolo and Nyeri counties despite opposition from governors.
Governors say the programme should be rolled out across the country and the Sh1.7 billion budget allocated equally.
State House spokesman Manoah Esipisu said the programme must be piloted to provide an opportunity for adjustments before it is rolled out nationally.
A government plan to pilot its 100 per cent universal health project in Kisumu, Machakos, Isiolo and Nyeri, will go on despite opposition from governors.
State House spokesman Manoah Esipisu said on Sunday the rest of the counties will be initially be limited to 10,000 homes in plan which is one of President Uhuru Kenyatta's Big Four agenda that also includes food security, manufacturing and affordable housing.
Governors have opposed the selection of the four counties, saying the programme should be rolled out across the country and the Sh1.7 billion budget allocated equally.
But Mr Esipisu said the programme must be piloted to provide an opportunity for adjustments before it is rolled out nationally.
"The pilot is important because it allows the national government and county governments to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of facilities and institutions that are key to delivery. It will also make it possible to assess the availability of human resources, logistics and how citizens are engaging with the programme," Mr Esipisu told journalists at State House during his Sunday weekly briefing.
The official said Health Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki will soon be travelling to Cuba, which prides itself on having eliminated malaria, for lessons on the efficient use of preventive measures against common diseases.
With the help of Cuba, Mr Esipisu said, the government hopes to launch a malaria vector control project in Busia, Kakamega, Bungoma, Siaya, Kisumu, Migori, Homa Bay, Kisii and Nyamira.
"Cuba's methods, their medicines and their technology is proven and we are collaborating with them to ensure that we can adopt their methods," Mr Esipisu said, adding that the government will go ahead with a plan to bring in 100 specialist doctors from Havana despite opposition from doctors.
"The plan is very much still to bring in 100 Cuban specialists in areas such as ontology, nephrology and dermatology. There is a massive shortage of specialists in these areas. The Cubans will also be expected to mentor Kenyan doctors they are working with in various counties," he said.

NOAA Helps Maine Communities Assess, and Expand, Working Waterfront Economy
The Takeaway: NOAA's economic-analysis resources and workshops uncover the power of working waterfronts.
Sediment surrounding the Town of Milbridge's boat launch renders it unusable for local businesses and community members. Officials are highlighting the economic importance of fixing the problem, with help from NOAA and the Maine Coastal Program. Photo credit: Town of Milbridge
Officials from Maine cities and towns have used coastal economic tools and expertise from NOAA to analyze the socioeconomic strengths of their working waterfronts. Findings in hand, these officials are working to maximize the waterfront economy by recruiting new businesses, improving comprehensive plans, and applying for grants to enhance infrastructure and economic development, as shown below.
Assessing a town's waterfront value
In the Maine Town of Milbridge, two improvement projects completed upstream from a public pier and boat launch had contributed to rapid sediment buildup at these structures, making them unusable in mid-to-low-water conditions. To justify spending that would help fix the problem, town officials sought to analyze the rapid sedimentation and assess the impact of these closures on marine industries and the community.
Shore and Harbor Management funding from the Maine Coastal Program enabled the Town of Milbridge to move forward on the analysis. Aiding the analysis was NOAA's Economics: National Ocean Watch tool, presented during an Estimating the Local Marine Economy training. Self-employment data sets also were used from the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program.
Study findings revealed that the "living resources" and "ship and boat building" economic sectors were greatly affected by the closure of the pier, and that these impacts were more significant in the area served by the Milbridge pier than in other parts of coastal Maine. The study also uncovered the closure's potential economic impacts on local marine industries.
Leveraging the waterfront's socioeconomic power
For Maine officials of several other communities, an economic analysis workshop helped participants pinpoint the economic strengths of each community's waterfront, and sparked ideas on enhancing these strengths. As a result, the City of Portland's Economic Development Department documented the wide-ranging industries that benefit from the waterfront, with the aim of recruiting future businesses. The Sunrise County Economic Council quantified all the community benefits of local commercial fisheries. And the Washington County Council of Governments used workshop insights to advance waterfront grant proposals, local comprehensive plans, and maritime management updates.
NOAA's Office for Coastal Management led the workshop, collaborating with the National Working Waterfront Network and Maine Sea Grant on a new method for obtaining local waterfront economic data. (2018/2022)

Anglesey Mining PLC RNS Release
ANGLESEY MINING PLC - Optimisation Study on Parys Mountain Mine Project
6:00 PM 26 Nov 2018
London, November 25
Anglesey Mining plc ("AYM") is pleased to announce a major development on the path forward for the advancement of its Parys Mountain copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver project, located on the island of Anglesey in North Wales.
Under a Project Development and Cooperation Agreement ("Agreement") entered into with QME Mining Technical Services, a division of QME Ltd, ("QME"), QME will, at no cost to AYM, carry out an agreed programme of design, engineering and optimisation studies relating to the future development of Parys Mountain.
Over the period to the end of June 2019, QME will carry out a detailed review of various development and mining alternatives for Parys Mountain. The primary objective is to determine the optimum production plan for Parys Mountain, utilising all available and potential means of accessing both the indicated resources and inferred resources, (as currently defined and estimated by Micon International) at various "cut-off" grades.
Anglesey Chief Executive, Bill Hooley, said: "We consider this to be a very important and positive step forward in the development of the Parys Mountain mine. QME is experienced in underground mine development and has developed and recruited the necessary skills in mine planning to deliver local and relevant underground mining expertise to Parys Mountain that will assist Anglesey to move forward with the development of the Parys Mountain project at no direct cash cost to Anglesey or dilution of its shareholders."
AYM has agreed to grant QME various rights and options relating to the future development of Parys Mountain. On completion of the optimisation study and delivery to AYM of the results thereof:
(i) AYM will award QME, on an exclusive basis, contracts for the development of the decline and underground mine development, including rehabilitation of the shaft. This will be done on terms to be agreed following a decision by AYM to proceed with the development of Parys Mountain;
(ii) In the event Anglesey and QME are not able to agree terms AYM may offer such contracts to third parties, subject to a right of first refusal in favour of QME, and subject to a payment by AYM to QME, upon the award of such contracts to a third-party, of a break-fee; and
(iii) In addition, AYM will grant to QME the right and option, upon completion of a Prefeasibility Study ("PFS"), to undertake at QME's cost and investment, the mine development component of the Parys Mountain project, including decline and related underground development and shaft development, with a scope to be agreed, to the point of commencement of production, in consideration of which QME would earn a 30% undivided joint venture interest in the Parys Mountain project.
Parys Mountain - 2017 Scoping Study Recommendations
In July 2017 a Scoping Study on Parys Mountain, was prepared by Micon International Limited (Micon) and Fairport Engineering Ltd. The Scoping Study envisages a mining rate of 1,000 tonnes per day, to produce an average annual output of 14,000 tonnes of zinc concentrate at 57% Zn, 7,200 tonnes of lead concentrate at 52% Pb and 4,000 tonnes of copper concentrate at 25% Cu, over an initial mine life of eight years.
Following completion of the positive 2017 Scoping Study, Anglesey has been working to progress the Parys Mountain project towards production. The 2017 Scoping Study recommended further work as interim steps towards undertaking a PFS, including more detailed mine planning and design, more engineering studies, additional metallurgical test work and a review of tailings management and environmental and planning permissions, all of which will require new and further financing. The Agreement with QME announced today is a major component of this and is a very positive development that will significantly advance the Parys Mountain project

The 2017 Scoping Study was based on mining only the 2.1 million tonnes of indicated resources reported by Micon in 2012. Micon had reported a further 4.1 million tonnes of inferred resources which were not incorporated into the Scoping Study. Development of even half of these inferred resources not included in the Scoping Study, would significantly increase the projected life of the Parys Mountain mine with potential positive outcomes on the project economics.
Under the Agreement QME will examine a revised mine model with the objective of incorporating some of the inferred resources, including part of the higher-grade Engine Zone inferred resources, into the earlier years of the mine plan with the intention of bringing forward cashflows and increasing the life of the mine to at least 10 years.
The 2017 Scoping Study was based on the initial development and production from the White Rock zone using a newly developed decline eventually leading to development of the deeper Engine zone and then the rehabilitation and use of the Morris Shaft as a hoisting facility.
The QME review will examine whether different approaches to accessing the orebodies, particularly by early dewatering, rehabilitation and recommissioning of the Morris Shaft, could provide early access to the higher-grade Engine zone resources. This should have a beneficial effect upon both the net present value of the operation and the pay-back period.
It is expected that these optimisation studies will be completed by the middle of 2019 and, subject to financing being available, would then form the basis for commissioning of a Preliminary Feasibility Study to lead to an overall project financing package.
Following delivery of the optimisation studies pursuant to the Agreement, and the subsequent completion of a PFS, QME will have the option to undertake at QME's investment, the mine development component of the Parys Mountain project, including decline and related underground development and shaft development, in consideration of which QME would earn a 30% undivided joint venture interest in the Parys Mountain project, thereby significantly reducing AYM's capital cost requirements.

Website designs can be found easily for news sites, for artists, for photographers, for sports magazines, for bloggers, for vloggers, for kids, for elders. But when it comes to the medical profession, there is nothing available out there. If you are a practising physician or dentist, a manager for a clinic or a hospital and have tried to design a website for your profession, you know how difficult it is to get a medical WordPress theme that is informative yet simple. This is why MedicPress, a WordPress theme was launched for the medical profession to create simple websites that caters to the needs of the industry.
At the outset, MedicPress is a WordPress theme for medical professionals who want to make exceptionally good looking and informative websites for their visitors. Designed exclusively for medical professionals, it includes the common and most essential services and functions of their day to day work. But if dig a bit deeper, you will find that MedicPress does much more and is essentially a turnkey solution for medical professionals when they are designing a website.
This WordPress theme has been designed after in-depth market research and innumerable hours of development and testing. Therefore, the websites using this theme look extremely professional and trustworthy, just like the doctor, the website is being made for. Most important bits of information for the patient such as clinic timings, doctor profiles, and emergency contact numbers are easily visible to visitors on these sites. Even if there are multiple doctors in the clinic, MedicPress can work its magic and show specific timings for each doctor.
Unlike other themes that can be off putting for patients, MedicPress has a modern feel that is welcoming and radiates safety. Using custom made medical icons and standard icons, your website can give off lots of information to the patients, who are looking for it and that too in a hurry, saving them precious time. Patients can also simply book appointments through the site itself. So, there is no need to dedicate a person to give appointment for various doctors at the clinic.
Not only does MedicPress make an impression on the patients, it makes an impression on search engines too. It is one of the very few business oriented WordPress themes that have received green badges from search engines for its speed and robust performance not only on desktops but also on mobile devices. What this means for your site is that not only will load faster for your customers, but it will also rank higher in search results ensuring more potential visitors to your site.
Running a successful clinic not only requires multiple doctors but also multiple departments. More doctors and more departments also mean more information on the website that can make it cluttered and confusing. MedicPress address this issue of sorting information with specially designed dropdown menus that stack up beautifully on the website revealing information to those who seek, when they seek.
This medical WordPress theme also works in 14 popular global languages. Translated by expert professional translators, MedicPress can work for you in your local language not matter where you are located in the world. Also, if you need any help, all necessary information is documented for ready help, whenever you need it.
An important feature of this theme is the one click demo import (OCDI) support function. If you are not an advanced user of WordPress, the OCDI functionality on MedicPress ensures that your website can be up and running in no time. All you need to do is click on the import button and your website change within a minute or two to the new theme.
Delivering advantages for your patients as well as your business, MedicPress is the ultimate medical WordPress theme you have been looking for. These excellent features can be part of your website for just $59. This is just a one-time fee and makes you eligible for priority support and free updates for all bugs for a year. Yes, developers of this WordPress theme, Proteus Themes, strongly believe in delivering answers to your queries in hours rather than days and have managed to do so for over 9000 tickets.
MedicPress is a unique offering for the medical community, who until now, had to make do with themes meant for other businesses. Designed and built for clinics and doctors, MedicPress can help clinics scale new heights by being found in search results, delivering necessary information at the right time and confirming appointments without any hassles. For a small fee of $59, MedicPress is a steal and should be adopted by every clinic to gain visibility in their local markets.

Among the Red Stars
Author: Gwen C. Katz Format: Paperback Release Date: 10/01/2019
A suspenseful historical YA debut inspired by the true story of an all-female bomber unit in Russia during World War II. World War II has erupted in Valka's homeland of Russia, and Valka is determined to help the effort. She's a pilot-and a good one-so she eagerly joins an all-female bomber regiment. Flying has always meant freedom and exhilaration for Valka, but dropping bombs on German targets is something else entirely. The raids are dangerous, but as Valka watches her fellow pilots putting everything on the line in the face of treachery, she learns the true meaning of bravery. As the war intensifies, though, and those around her fall, Valka must decide how much she is willing to risk to defend the skies she once called home. Inspired by the true story of a famous all-female Russian bomber regiment, Gwen C. Katz weaves a tale of strength and sacrifice, of learning to fight for yourself, and of the perils of a world at war.

"Wipeout"
"Wipe Out" is a surf rock instrumental composed by Bob Berryhill, Pat Connolly, Jim Fuller and Ron Wilson. It is a twelve-bar blues[1] first performed and recorded by The Surfaris, who became known worldwide with the release of the "Surfer Joe" and "Wipe Out" single in 1963, at the same time of the Hanky Panky song by The Raindrops.
The single was first issued on the tiny DFS label (#11/12) in January 1963. It was reissued on the tiny Princess label (#50) in February 1963, and finally picked up for national distribution on Dot as 45-16479 in April 1963. Dot reissued the single in April 1965 as 45-144.
The song – both the Surfaris' version as well as cover versions – has been featured in over 20 films and television series since 1964, appearing at least once a decade.[2][better source needed]
A wipe out is a fall from a surfboard, especially one that looks painful.

Bob Berryhill, Pat Connolly, Jim Fuller and Ron Wilson wrote the song almost on the spot while at Pal Recording Studio in Cucamonga, California in late 1962, needing a suitable B-side for the intended "Surfer Joe" single. One of the band members suggested introducing the song with a cracking sound, imitating a breaking surfboard, followed by a manic voice babbling, "ha ha ha ha ha, wipe out". The voice was that of band's manager, Dale Smallin. "Wipe Out" is based on the 1959 song "Bongo Rock" by Preston Epps.
Single reception[edit]
The afterthought track spent four months on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the autumn of 1963, reaching #2 but kept out of the top slot only by Stevie Wonder's "Fingertips". The song returned to the Hot 100 in 1966, reaching #16 (and #63 for the year), and peaked at #9 on the Cash Box chart. The 1966 reissue sold approximately 700,000 copies in the U.S..Meanwhile, the original A-side "Surfer Joe", sung by Ron Wilson, only attracted airplay in the wake of "Wipe Out"'s success, and peaked at #62 during its six-week run. Wilson's energetic drum solo for "Wipe Out" (a sped-up version of his Charter Oak High School marching band's drum cadence) helped the song become one of the best-remembered instrumental songs of the period. Drummer Sandy Nelson issued different versions on multiple LPs. In 1970, "Wipe Out" peaked at #110 in the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. The single spent a grand total of 30 weeks on the Hot 100.

In popular culture[edit]
Following the 2001 death of television personality Morton Downey Jr., news reports, obituaries and Downey's official website incorrectly credited him as the composer of "Wipe Out".[7][8][9]
In science fiction author Robert J. Sawyer's Neanderthal Parallax series, the DNA sequence for a deadly virus is saved in a computer folder entitled "Surfaris". A character immediately recognizes this as a reference to "Wipe Out" and determines that the virus will wipe out all of the Neanderthals on a parallel universe's Earth. She then rewrites the DNA code to a non-lethal version and calls the file "Surfer Joe" in reference to the A-side of "Wipe Out".
In the late 2000s, the track was used on Harry Hill's TV Burp, usually played when Harry or the Knitted Character ride a jelly.
"Wipe Out" has been included in a number of film soundtracks, including those of Dark Star (1974), Dirty Dancing (1987), The Sandlot (1993), Toy Story 2 (1999), Recess: School's Out (2001), The Cat in the Hat (2003), Surf's Up (2007), and Far Cry New Dawn (2018).
In 2014, the track was played in the 29th episode of season 5 of Regular Show as the "ancient call of the surfers".

In the summer of 1987, the Fat Boys collaborated with the Beach Boys on a version of "Wipe Out" that made #12 in the U.S. and #2 in the U.K.
Music video[edit]
The music video begins with an announcement of a boxing match with the Fat Boys and Beach Boys in attendance, but the match is interrupted by a fight. In the following scene, the Fat Boys load up a car with swimsuits and then drive off. The Beach Boys are driving a dune buggy through the city. Both bands go around the city in the direction of a beach, while they perform the song and draw the city inhabitants to the beach, where one of the Fat Boys tries to lift a heavy weight and is laughed at by some women. The Beach Boys play DJ in the street.[10]

South Africa The Latest To Institute Soda Tax
How Will Keurig Dr Pepper Perform In Its First Quarter As A Combined Company?
November 6th, 2018 by Trefis Team
The merger of Dr Pepper Snapple and Keurig Green Mountain (which was private earlier), to form Keurig Dr Pepper (NYSE: KDP), was completed early in the third quarter, and consequently, the combined company will post combined earnings from Q3 onward. KDP is expected to post revenues of $2.83 billion, a considerable rise from the corresponding year ago period, and a significant decline in earnings, which is expected to reach $0.27 per share. Commodity inflation, higher marketing costs, and increased logistics expenses are expected to pressure the earnings, which may offset the benefit received from a reduced tax rate.
We are in the process of updating our model to reflect the financials of the merged entity.
Factors That May Impact Future Performance
1. Popularity of Ginger Ale: Canada Dry had a 9% gain in volumes in the second quarter due to steady growth in the ginger ale category and product innovation. The increasing popularity of ginger ale has been driven by millennials, as they look for more authentic, quality beverages having natural flavors. Ginger beverages have been gaining traction in many markets around the world, with demand growing strongly at a 32% year over year growth rate across the U.S., U.K., Spain, and Mexico. Ginger, a sought-after flavor, was also ranked in the top 10 in Google's 2017 Beverage Report. This segment is expected to continue its strong growth in the remainder of the financial year.
2. Potential of Bai Brands: Bai Brands has tremendous potential to grow and drive KDP's revenues going forward. As millennials move away from carbonated soft drinks, demand for healthier options is increasing, and Bai is likely to be the front-runner for KDP in terms of healthy beverage options. Moreover, from an ACV (all-commodities volume) standpoint, while there are still distribution opportunities for its enhanced water product, greater opportunities lie in other platforms, such as Bubbles, Super Tea, and Black. ACV is considered an insightful measure for soft drink companies, and can be generally thought of as "% of stores selling," but with stores weighted based on their size, and hence, reflects the item's exposure to consumer spending. In the quarter, Bai volumes increased 22% driven by distribution gains, product innovation, and promotional activity, as well as higher sales to third party bottlers in the Latin America Beverages segment.
3. Reduction in Effective Tax Rate: The lowering of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% in the U.S., effective January 1, 2018, should positively impact the company. Consequently, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of this year was 26.1%, as compared to 33.3% in Q2 2017. This trend is expected to benefit the results of the full financial year.
4. Merger Synergies: KDP expects merger-related synergies totaling $600 million over the 2019-2021 period, with $200 million in savings expected per year. This will help in the combined company meeting its adjusted diluted EPS target of $1.02 to $1.07 for the full year.
5. Growth Potential: JAB Holdings, Keurig's owner, has acquired a number of coffee brands, such as Jacobs, Peets, Caribou, and Keurig. It has also scooped up Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Panera Bread, Au Bon Pain, among other food and beverage companies. However, being able to deliver these products to places where the consumers shop requires a massive distribution network, and this is where Dr Pepper Snapple will come in. Furthermore, this deal, the biggest in the soft drinks space, would also result in a hot and cold drinks combination, with immense scale for both. DPS, meanwhile, will benefit from Keurig's e-commerce capabilities. JAB also has experience in the past of acquiring small brands, and ensuring their fast growth rates continue, an aspect DPS has clearly been struggling with for Bai.
6. Fiji Exit: Premium bottled water brand, Fiji Water, discontinued its distribution agreement with DPS, effective October 2018, in order to provide a better in-store experience for its customers, and to be more responsive to their demands, given the growth in e-commerce and omnichannel retail. As per BevNET, Fiji VP of Marketing Clarence Chia said this is a "direct result" of the DPS-Keurig merger. This was followed by news regarding Coca-Cola's purchase of a minority stake in Body Armor, another DPS allied brand, with the deal structured in such a way that Coca-Cola can increase its ownership stake over time. This could be a blow to KDP, and gives rise to speculation that more exits could follow.
7. Deal With Evian: KDP signed an agreement with Danone Waters of America (DWA) to sell, distribute, and merchandise Evian water. DWA will benefit from KDP's massive distribution network in the U.S., covering roughly 150,000 large and small format stores across the country. Evian is a leading premium water, in a category growing 15% annually, which should benefit KDP.

Plugins can be included individually (using Bootstrap's individual *.js files), or all at once (using bootstrap.js or the minified bootstrap.min.js).

Using the compiled JavaScript

Both bootstrap.js and bootstrap.min.js contain all plugins in a single file. Include only one.
