I don't know if this will help you much but they sell her ties at Saks 
Fifth Ave. in Dallas. She made a personal appearance there and signed 
ties for customers - or in my case a baseball cap.

Hi, everybody,

I saw Dolce & Garbarna on TV in a program called "Video Fashion."  Please tell me
something that I don't know:  are fashion designers always as eccentric in
appearance as Dolce & Garbarna?

Don't get me wrong.  I enjoy their clothing, but I wonder how they get to be
fashion designers?

Where can I buy ties by Nicole Miller?  It seems that their production is
limited to a fairly low number.

I'm looking for three in particular:

	* the photography tie with film and film canisters
	* the Route 66 tie
	* the dartboard tie

Any pointers?

Well, first off, you don't have to be a cranker to strike, but the
more often you DO strike, the higher your scores will become! %^)  In
answer to your "destiny" question, yes, there is a good possibility
that if you never develop a more efficient strike ball, your average
will hover in the 170-190 range forever.  Conceivably, you could average
200+ with an average of *one* double per game, but then you also
could never miss a spare ever, to maintain that average.

There's an old bowling adage that goes, "make your spares and the
strikes will come".  I fully believe and support that thought, but
I've added my own corollary to that: "Strike often, and then the
spares will become easier!"  What I mean is that when you learn to
get the ball to the pocket more often, two things happen -- first,
your strike percentage obviously jumps astronomically; second, when you
don't strike, chances are that the spare you leave will be of the
single pin variety -- usually easier.  Yeah, yeah, I too despise the
10-pin, but I'd rather be in the hole and shoot at 10's as opposed to
out of the pocket completely and having to shoot at buckets, washouts, 
or big-4's!   %^)

If you're a good spare shooter, you're already miles ahead of the
game.  Strikes are just a different form of spares.  Concentrate on
picking up the 1-3 (or 1-2 for lefties) spare on your first shots.
Eventually, you must learn to "read" the lane condition -- where you
have the greatest margin of error and yet still get the ball in the poc-
ket.  A differently weighted ball (gross and/or static/dynamic balance) 
may aid in carrying more strikes, but no matter what kind of super-duper
multi-piece kryptonite ball you own, it does no good until you can get
it to the pocket; and, the more often, the better!

Remember -- there has never been a 300 shot that had a spare in it! %^)

Anyway for Walter...

Glad you like your new shoes...I still believe the Linds series is the
way to go.
Night and day difference!  I suggest you take it easy on the practice
sessions.  No more than 3 games at a time.  I have two bad knees and once
the knees start swelling on me, I have to stop immediately (if I'm
practicing)
or they'll hurt like hell for several hours.  I also suggest you take some
aspirin or acemetaphin (sp?) about an hour before you bowl, it will help
reduce the swelling.  

Good luck!

Did your Linds come with a small "how to care for your shoes" tag?
If not, then this is kind of what it sez: When the buckskin sliding
sole loads up with dirt, you can actually wash it by soaking down the
sole with water and then scrubbing out the dirt/dried cola/etc... with
a little soap and a stiff brush.  I have done this, using a little
dishwashing soap and a stiff plastic-bristled brush (not a tooth brush
-- not stiff enough).  You should be able to bring back the original
color of the buckskin by doing this.  Couple of things, though --
since your shoes are new, you'd be better off using methods others
have given, like the alcohol-scrub brush method.  This method is best
used when you want to get the whole sole cleaned off, not just a spot.
Second, if you do this, you will get your shoes pretty wet, so make
sure you do it during a period of bowling inactivity, and let the
shoes air dry, don't apply heat.  Third, rinse and squeegee (sp?) out
the water many times, to get as much of the soap out as possible.  And
fourth, this method applies to buckskin soles found on shoes like 
Linds or Dexter SST's; I wouldn't recommend trying it out on leather 
soled shoes.

do you all have out there?

My Turbo is called "Woomera" - an aboriginal word meaning
"Spear Thrower".

I think I will name my next ball "Mixalot" - in honor of
our team "Mixalot Posse".

The name "Heap of Shit" also comes to mind, 'cause that's

I've been following this thread and haven't seen this mentioned so I thought
I'd post.  When I step in water with my slide foot, I fix the shoe with a
pencil.  I just color over the wet spot then rub my foot on the carpet.
Usually after two or three repetitions, my shoe is back to normal.  The
reason I like this is because there is no way to use too much pencil so I
will not leave any foreign substance on the approach, and I can always
get a pencil from the counter.  Also, the friction from rubbing the shoe on
the carpet drys the spot so the problem is solved until I step in water again.
I've never used any type of slide stick but I would imagine that under the slide
stick stuff on your shoe is still a wet spot and when the stuff wears off you
you begin to stick at the line again.

Thanks guys for enlightening me on the wrist support myth I 
see on TV - it all sort of makes sense now.  Two things I 
think are really funny:

1)  Logo placements on balls - just the right orientation
    for the TV to read as the bowler stands in his approach
    stance.

2)  Those brand new shirts with stiff collars.  Man, they look
    bloody uncomfortable - should get someone to run them
    through the wash first and soften 'em up!

To follow your advice, as of today "Mr. Mongoose" is banished
to the bottom of the bowling bag, only to reappear if my average
slips below 170.

On a completely unrelated note, can someone shed some light on
Pete Webber's two suspensions?  Wasn't one for coke and the 
other for fighting or something.  Anyone have more details.

OK fellow bowlers, I know our flakey newsfeed will stretch
this quest beyond the realms of possibility but ... I've
finally decided to buy a harder ball (than my black Turbo)
because the lanes where I bowl Thursday nights are as devoid
of oil as Del Ballard's head is of hair.

Can someone recommend a good ball of similar construction
to the Turbo (I like its action) that has a slightly higher
D scale and won't break the bank?  I'd like to use this on
nights as a spare ball when they remember to put that wet,
slippery stuff, you Know, *oil* on our lanes :-)

Bad news is I want to go out and buy the ball in about 4 hours :-(
