Resolved Question: Similar dresses to this one (easy ten points! :D)?

Okay, so I wanted this dress for eighth grade promotion: http://store.delias.com/item.do?itemID=53259. However, they are sold out online, and it's not sold in stores. I'm looking for a completely black, simple dress that is above knee length but below mid thigh. (If it helps, I'm 5'3".) Also, I would like one with straps, since I hate strapless dresses. So if anybody could find a dress similar to this one, I would be very thankful. Thank you in advance! (: (and I will definitely choose a best answer!) more

Resolved Question: Eighth grade promotion dress (ten points to the best answer! :D)?

There is this one dress that I want to wear for eighth grade promotion. It's a sleek black dress, and here's a link: http://store.delias.com/item.do?itemID=53259. But. My mom already got this ugly dress without me knowing, and she says I would look great in it. The dress is navy/black ish and is old fashioned and not modern at all. It is has a kind of high neckline (a little below my collarbone). It has cap sleeves, which wouldn't be that bad, except that I have wide shoulders and it looks terrible on me. It also has five buttons down my chest, for no reason, and it looks childish. I really dislike the dress and how it looks on me. :\ How should I ask my mom if I can get the black dress I want (from the link above) without hurting her feelings? Thank you in advance! I promise to pick a best answer (:Oh, sorry the link doesn't work; hopefully this one will: http://store.delias.com/item.do?categoryID=1834&itemID=53259&sizeFilter=&colorFilter=&brandFilter= more

Resolved Question: I'm having a party that is going to be overrun with couples. How can I help my single friend not feel awkward?

So me and my sort-of boyfriend are having a party to celebrate his promotion. He's my ex, we still live together and are trying to be "just friends" but we still act coupley and most people still think we're an item even though we've told people we're not. We're just linked together in eveyone's minds as a couple. At this party the majority of people will be coming with someone else as a couple. The only one that is not is my newly single friend. I know (from someone else) that she is nervous about coming by herself but doesn't want to tell me as she thinks it'll ruin everything. It won't, she's just very nervous. Everytime I approach her on the topic she tells me to not be so silly. I KNOW she is going to be nervous and I just want to make it as easy as possible for her. Any hints or tips? I know to keep the topic on neutrals grounds and off relationships. Its a dinner party type thing so is not just a casual thing. 11 people will be there (5 couples and her). What I am most worried about is where to sit her on the table more

Resolved Question: Will my item arrive on Saturday if I order now?

I'm about to order something off Gamestop.com, and they happened to have a promotion going on where I got about $20 off. I decided since I already got that much off, I may as well spring for the $10 overnight shipping and get the game sooner, while still saving ten bucks. So, before I do this, I'd just like to know: will this thing get here by Saturday? Or will I have to wait the weekend out? Last time I ordered something from their site it arrived in my mailbox, so I'm thinking it arrives by mail instead of UPS or any other delivery service. I understand since they are shut down for the night at the shipping HQ they won't be able to ship my order until tomorrow, but does that mean it should be here by Saturday? I just want to know because if not I can just save $4 and get the two day shipping. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Credit Card Help!! What is deferred interest? Bought item on promotion...?

I bought a TV last year on a no interest for 18 months promotion. The promotion is about to end, and I still owe 500 bucks. There is a section on my statement about deferred interest, and It's about 430 dollars of it. What does this mean? Does it mean that this is the interest I would have had to pay if the interest was accruing, or will I have to pay that amount if I don't pay the 500 bucks before the promotional period expires? Thank you and please help!!I'm a college student!!! more

Resolved Question: Are Sarah Palin's ethics a true reflection of Hollywood?

Sarah Palin aligns her public image with the heartland, but it appears the former Alaska Governor has gone Hollywood. And when she leaves, she may be taking some of it with her. On top of an appearance on the Tonight Show and rumors that she's shopping around a TV show with reality producer Mark Burnett, Palin and her entourage were seen partaking in one of celebrity's lushest rituals -- the Oscar gifting suite. While the group was loading up on freebies, the Los Angeles Times reported that, "Palin's middle child, Willow, got her hair styled, receiving a blowout from Erick Orellana of the Chris McMillan Salon (Jennifer Aniston's longtime hairstylist)." The Times also indicated that Palin was supposed to donate $1,700 along with all of her gift items to the Red Cross, which is currently helping with relief efforts in Haiti and Chile. But E! Online insists, "we can assure you she did not give up any of her swag." They quote an unnamed vendor who claims that upwards of 20 people from the Palin camp swarmed the event. "They were like locusts," he told the entertainment news outlet. According to AOL's Pop Eater, publicist Ben Russo of EMC/Bowery said, "she kind of cleaned the place out." They list out a number of her swag-grabs, including United Hair Care products, jewels from Pascal Mouawad, Skagen watches and a whopping 40 pairs or AIAIAI earphones. It didn't stop there. HollywoodLife.com reports that she also picked up a blue Kenya robe from designer Jenna Leigh, facewash and a pair of foam Bandal sandals. Or, in common-sense language, Palin and her handlers, "practically cleaned out the suite." Another unnamed source, from HollywoodLife.com, says that the former Vice Presidential candidate was intent on spreading all that wealth around her own circle. "She insisted every person in her huge entourage get something, and there were assistants, nannies, security - insanity!" The same source also said that security swept the venue and would not allow photos, which are often expected by companies to use as promotion in exchange for the free products.One Palin question is now virtually stalking. The Reps are endlessly entertaining. more

Resolved Question: Austin, TX Home Depot Window Installation!?

On February 20th my husband and I signed up for window installation through the Home Depot. Since then we have not heard from the representative we signed the contract with, nor from the 'Houston Office' that was supposed to schedule the installation once week from the contract signing. We emailed the rep on Monday for scheduling and haven't heard anything back. We found out yesterday that the credit card promotion we signed up for (and is written in on our contract) wasn't entered by the representative and rather than having 12 months no interests/no payments, we will have a payment due on March 20th. The credit card department said they can change it to no interest/no payments for 12 months if the rep faxes the contract by tomorrow afternoon (we'd still have to make the first payment which is okay, but not what is written in our contract!), but we've been trying to reach the rep since Monday and haven't heard anything back. According to the credit card department the charge was put through, but not the work order. The manager at the local Home Depot has offered no help on this matter except providing the rep's phone number, and the rep is of course not answering the phone. IF YOU SIGNED UP FOR WINDOWS THROUGH THE RECENT HOME DEPOT PROMOTION - IN TEXAS OR ANY WHERE - CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION AND YOUR CONTRACT! Does anyone have contact information for higher ups at Home Depot that can handle this type of issue? We now have no windows, no installation date, no contacts, and $3200 due. If you're going to comment, please note that this is not a debt issue. We didn't sign up for anything we can't handle, we simply have a contract that is now erroneous, a charge without items, and cannot reach anyone. The question that is looking for an answer/comment is 'Does anyone have contact information for higher ups at Home Depot that can handle this type of issue?'Hi, Jim! I'm pretty surprised as well. I will be contacting the manager again this evening if I haven't heard from the rep and the credit card company as well. Have a good one! more

Voting Question: Saving money around the fucking house(:?

Alright, yes i know that swear word was highly unnecessary but who cares > . > I cuss a lot out of habit. Anyway, Im 14 years old and my family has been going through some money problems. It will get better because we payed off all of the credit card bills but i want to do more than just check out whats going on money-wise from my parents. I have a couple questions to ask♥ 1.) Does a ceiling light use more electricity than a lamp? 2.) Since im on the computer i know that it's using money, but does it cost more to have a webcam that im not using plugged in? ~ . ~ 3.) Are cold, 5 minute showers less money than hot showers? 4.) I'm doing detassling this summer, and i assume you know what that is but its a good way to get money to put it short, and I was wondering if there was any cheap items that i could buy that we could use around the house to replace things that cost more money to use. 5.) What are some things that i could unplug around the house that uses money even when turned off? I already unplugged my tv since i barely watch it, and my radio. Anything else? ~~Is there anything else that you guys know of that i can do around the house to cut down on the money we spend all the time? You guys don't have to answer ALL of these questions, just the ones you know :3 And, on a more personal note, i was wondering something. My stepmother just got a promotion and she isn't with the people she is normally with. Well, she works at Walmart and i think she is a little higher than a manager but im not sure. She has been very stressed out and felt like she was going to puke going to work today and started crying at the office at Walmart (my dad told me this.) And I want to make her feel like she isn't alone in all of this and i want to help. I don't have a problem talking to her and stuff, but i want to show her aswell. Are there any things i can do for her so that she knows that im there for her? I really love her, she is a mother to me. Thank you ♥ more

I completed my training 8 months ago, and have not received my bonus, nor have I received my E-4 pay. At the moment, factoring backpay, they owe me around $20,000 and I'm yet to see a dime of it. I've filed paperwork, various chits, to get this fixed, and have seen no result, and even if I had seen a result, the immense delay before I've been able to see money that has been owed to me for nearly a year is absolutely ludicrous. I could have used this money months ago, hell, I could use it now. As such, I'm wondering if the Navy can be held accountable in a breach of contract suit, for failing to live up to items that have been guaranteed to me in writing, or is there some agency one can contact outside of one's individual command to get such things straightened out? It seems like a major part of the issue is the chain of command where I'm stationed having a bad habit of sitting around on paperwork. more

Resolved Question: Wii Connection Ambassador Promotion- who wants 500 free points?

Nintendo is currently running a program called the 'Ambassador Program' which allows people to help others get their Wii console's online and both people get 500 Wii points which can be used to purchase games from the online Wii store including old classic NES, SNES and N64 games to new games specifically made for the Wii Shop. There is no need to purchase this item, simply follow these steps! Firstly, if you are using cables to connect to the internet you need to make sure you plug them in to the USB ports on the back of the console using an Ethernet Adapter. For a wireless connection make sure your wireless connection is connected. Next, turn on your Wii. Enter the Wii Shop found on your Wii desktop. Click on the button on the lower left corner marked 'Connection Ambassador Promotion' and then 'Person Who Was Helped'. Lastly, once that screen has loaded, enter this number into the text field: 2536 3577 8521 8035 Once you have entered that number click 'OK'. You will be asked to answer some questions, (for the age of the person who helped you, please state 20-29) you are almost done! Contact me here, including your Wii Console's number so that i can then enter it in on my Wii Shop channel. This is so that the Ambassador program knows that we helped each other. To find your Wii Console number, go to your Wii Console menu and click the 'Wii Message Board' button on the bottom right. Once there click on 'Create Message', and then click the Address Book. Your Wii number will be shown to you there. And as soon as you have finished this last step, you are done. Wait for your 500 Wii Points and then purchase a new game! Enjoy!Thanks for your responses- as a Wii ambassador, you need to register my console number prior to my adding yours. Once we have both done so, upon completion we both receive 500 points. Re: connecting to the internet, I had hoped that my post would facilitate connection for anyone who has yet to successfully connect to the Wii shop channel- so I am fulfilling that! Best wishes, Ziggy more

Resolved Question: Need Workplace Advice?

Allright, I'm in a real political pickle lately and could use some advice. But first let me kind of explain the situation. For around a year now, a few co-workers and I have been handling the online presence of the university that I work at. We handle the main page and a few sub-pages that are extended out of that. We also handle a lot of the specific college sites, and just about any other web help that anyone at the university needs. We also gave the front page of the university website a much needed redesign and also created a lot of new infrastructure that allowed for easy and timely updates to a lot of our sites. Ever since we re-launched and have been handling all this stuff, we've gotten nothing but appreciation and praise. Granted, our job titles and descriptions never changed after we got all of this new responsibility, but in a time of state proration, I never really found a reason to complain about the job security that this kind of steady work allowed for. In that year, we've been helping make constant updates to all of these sites. The process is pretty straightforward, someone emails us about a news item or event and we post it to the web site. No big deal, or at least you'd think. Lately, some of the administrative offices have taken it upon themselves to step in and request that we ask for "approval" in order to post anything like this. This was initially understandable, as we had more announcements than we could fit at times and didn't want to make the call as to who was more important and more deserving. But after the rush, we're told that we still need to forward requests along for this approval. And in addition to that, we can't even tell the people making the requests why we can't handle the work as timely as we have in the past. So it makes us look pretty bad, as if we're suddenly slacking off. The lady who is supposedly our manager and contact point between us and others when we need it is especially unhelpful lately. The other guys and myself have constantly emailed and personally asked her how to proceed on things, and it often takes a week or more for her to get back in touch with us. She seems either unwilling or unable to make the decisions she needs, which further puts us back in being able to accomplish or work, which makes us look even worse. I'd really appreciate it if someone were to stick up for us and communicate to all parties that we're not just slacking off and are just doing what we're told. Or really, I'd very much appreciate it if someone were to grow a pair and tell someone to blow off because we've handled things just fine on our own for the past year. But neither of those seem likely to be happening anytime soon. Job security still isn't an issue, but advancement sure is. My hope was that at the end of state proration, our jobs would be made more or less official and we'd be given the promotion and raise we deserved once we started doing far more than what's in our existing description. Even if we're suddenly usurped for whatever political reason, we still have a very steady job in our existing title. So that's not a concern. But my question for you guys is what do I do in the meantime? The other guys I work with and myself have talked about this in the past week trying to figure out our options. But it seems as if we're going to piss off someone no matter what we do. We can continue to do as we're asked and essentially not do our work, but that will continue to make everyone think we're just sitting around here doing nothing. Or we can just continue working as we have in the past, but that would step on a few administrative toes. Communicating to everyone involved doesn't seem to be an option, as we've essentially been asked not to do that and those supposedly managing things won't do it either. Any ideas? I really have no clue at this point if there's even anything I can do. more

Voting Question: What do you think about Bonanzle instead of Ebay?

Bonanzle looks pretty good! PROS 1. It is a lot like Ebay with good ratings. 2. They import listings from Ebay and make it real easy to get started. 3. Seller Sourcebook is going to make it possible to list with pictures and templates from their site. 4. They cater to smaller item listings. 5. International sales are still possible. 5. Their fees and charges are great compared to Ebay's new and upcoming OUTRAGEOUS "Promotion" (increase in charges) 6. It's FREE to list and you only have to pay if you sell something. CONS: 1 ????????????? What do you think?MORE PROS: 7. It transfers a sellers Customer Store Ratings from Ebay, so you will know who you are buying from. 8. You can still pay through Paypal or you can use Google Checkout. more

Resolved Question: Dr. Pepper and Mass Effect 2 DLC?

So I heard about Dr. Pepper's DLC promotion and that it was going to have some Mass Effect items. This weekend I went and grabbed a Dr. Pepper but found that my only options were for Sims 3, Battlefield Heroes, and something else that I can't remember. Has anybody got any Mass Effect 2 DLC off of Dr. Pepper or has it not been released yet?Well most Dr. Pepper comes with codes under the cap now for various bits of DLC for various games. When I entered my code I got to choose from 3 games and then furthermore choose the download. Word on the street is that there's supposed to be Mass Effect 2 DLC via this promotion so I'm wondering if the codes are for a selection from a random pool of DLC, if the Mass Effect 2 stuff won't be available until the release of the game, or if the Mass Effect 2 DLC was just a rumor or something. more

Working as a cashier, the store i'm at just started a new promotion where cashiers hand out tickets for items purchased there a you get like a ticket for each item you purchase. You get a chance to win at the end. It's gonna go on for about 3-5months The thing is we are responsible for the tickets, if someone comes in and buys 100 items we have to give them 100 tickets. But what mess things up is if your line is long your have to count the tickets for each customer. If you have long lines and people wanting to go, that's holding them up. And you have to be exact with them if your wrong you get in trouble, you then have to wait for the CSM customer serv mang to count if you did it correct. WTF can be done i mean it's gonna create more lines and longer wait times. I ticket short you have to account for it. I mean any other full time job I could understand it, but min wage partime job.

Voting Question: Sims 2 indoor foundation glitch?!?

I'm going crazy, both of the adult sims in one of my homes got major promotions, and I decided to demolish their old crappy house and build a new one. I have The sims "double deluxe" which includes the base game plus nightlife expansion, and I recently bought the apartment life expansion. I haven't had any problems with the new expansions (except for a little lag in game speed every once in a while) but im having a horrible glitch with my new indoor foundations. (I'm not sure if it's important but I have a base foundation on the house along with the indoor foundation in one room) I asked one of my sims to enter the second floor of the house and a bubble popped over her head saying she could not enter the room. I have stairs, I have room at the top of the stairs, and i don't see any obstruction. I went into build mode and decided to just get rid of the second foundation, but when I tried to delete it, it said that i several of the squares of foundation were not able to be deleted. every time I try to delete the squares, they glow red and a pop up says that I need to remove all items from the floor first! I have deleted everything in the room including the ceiling fan and the wall hangings, yet it still says that I cannot delete the squares! I spent more than 3 hours building the home and decorating it, and I really do want to avoid demolishing the home if I can save it somehow.

Resolved Question: Help on my landscaping and construction business plan i need answers under each topic please help asap.?

Promotion How will you get the word out to customers? Advertising: What media, why, and how often? Why this mix and not some other? Have you identified low-cost methods to get the most out of your promotional budget? Will you use methods other than paid advertising, such as trade shows, catalogs, dealer incentives, word of mouth (how will you stimulate it?), and network of friends or professionals? Should you have a system to identify repeat customers and then systematically contact them? How much will you spend on the items listed above? Where will this money come from? Image What image do you want to project? How do you want customers to see you? What plans do you have for graphic image support? This includes things like logo design, cards and letterhead, brochures, signage, and interior design (if customers come to your place of business). Pricing Explain your method or methods of setting prices. Compare your prices with those of the competition. Are they higher, lower, the same? Why? For most small businesses, having the lowest price might take away from profit margin; large competitors can under price you anyway. Will you have average prices and compete on quality and service? Does your pricing strategy fit with what was revealed in your competitive analysis? How important is price as a competitive factor? Do your intended customers really make their purchase decisions mostly on price? Proposed Location Is your location important to your customers? If yes, how? If customers come to your place of business: Is it convenient? Parking? Interior spaces? Not out of the way? Is it consistent with your image? Is it what customers want and expect? Where is the competition located? Is it better for you to be near them (like car dealers or fast food restaurants) or distant (like convenience food stores)? What qualities do you need in a location? Describe the type of location you’ll have. Physical requirements: • Amount of space • Type of building • Zoning • Power and other utilities Access: Is it important that your location be convenient to transportation or to suppliers? Do you need easy walk-in access? What are your requirements for parking and proximity to freeway, airports, railroads, and shipping centers? Include a drawing or layout of your proposed facility if it is important, as it might be for a manufacturer. Construction? Most new companies should not sink capital into construction, but if you are planning to build, costs and specifications will be a big part of your plan. Cost: Estimate your occupation expenses, including rent, but also including maintenance, utilities, insurance, and initial remodeling costs to make the space suit your needs. What will be your business hours? Distribution Channels How do you sell your products or services? • Retail • Direct (mail order, Web, catalog) • Wholesale • Your own sales force • Agents • Independent representatives • Bid on contracts ......I need answers for these in your opinion for a business plan for a landscaping and construction company please help more
