I've got five. Come in your way. Hey, fellow buddies, thanks for watching. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Hey, fellow buddies, thanks for watching. All right, let's talk about vintage fabrics. So I decided to do like a deep dive into eBay and see which fabrics are selling for big money. So I've got five. Come in your way. There may be some that I missed, but this is just based on my research. So let's get started here with the first fabric, vintage fabric, Bolo item to be on the lookout for. If you're new here, my name is Courtney, also known as Bolo Buddies, and I teach you guys about Bolo items. As we get started here, I do want to show you something. So I put in vintage fabric by the yard. You can see here, this first one pops up and I'm like, oh my goodness, $1,000. And I'm kind of excited about it. And I'm like, I can't wait to share this. And then I dig a little deeper. So when you guys are searching solds, please, please, please do your research. All right. So I went into the item and as you see right here, it says, re-listed the item. So if you click onto that, it is going to take you into the re-listed listing where they auctioned it again and it only went for $170. Now, that is still fantastic, but it's not $1,000. So be very, very careful when you are researching. Flocked vintage fabric can be big money. All right. Let me show you what flocked is. Do you see how this is kind of fuzzy and raised? If you want to pause here, you can read the definition from Google. That is flocked. And you can see here, they've got the ruler to kind of show how far apart the pattern is and how big the flocked area is. So that's a great idea. I do not sell fabric. Maybe I should. This is for two yards. So when you are looking up comps, you also want to check the title for how many yards are included. That way you can figure out, is it going for more because the amount or because of the pattern? What is making this item special? So this one sold for $170. The next one is another one. Now this is called, it says dotted Swiss. I thought it was called Swiss. Maybe it can be called either or, but again, you have that fuzzy flocked material. And you can see how the people selling the items, they really get you a close up of what it looks like. So if you decide to list some of this, these are some items that you can, or some different ideas for photos that you can do. But honestly, I think this picture looks the best when you zoom in. So these do not look super, super clear to me. But this one sold for $294.99. It had 39 bids. Now this is four yards on that one and free shipping. All right, here is another one. This one is also flocked. And we're going to get into the next one here after this listing. I'm going to talk to you about one more thing for the flocked and then we'll move on to the next Bolo item. Again, flocked, raised material. See? That's very, very popular and typically can go for big money. This one sold for $132.50. Another thing is the pattern. The pattern sometimes some are more desirable than others. All right, now I am going into solds. So here's what I want to show you. We are under flocked fabric by the yard is what I put in. And you can see this is the one that was $1,000. We've got 294, 250. Some of these are buy it now. I don't always show the buy it now is because a lot of times they don't get paid for. And the only way to verify it is to go in and look at the feedback and see if the person that bought it left feedback. That's one way to know for sure. I like looking at auctions because I can tell this item had 14 bids. And even if the buyer did not pay, it still shows me that there was multiple people bidding on this item, which shows me there is an interest for this item. All right, so I'm just kind of showing you here flocked fabric is definitely something to be on the look out for.  There's really not a lot that went for big amounts at this time, but this is three yards. This is really cool. All right, let's go on to the next one. The next one is Mary Engelbright. And if you have not heard of Mary Engelbright, she has other things as well. I think I've sold some Halloween dishes of hers. And whenever I see Mary Engelbright, I typically pick it up. She does have a following. So this fabric right here sold for 120 305. It's from 1994. Lots of it looks like they knew the actual print. So if you can figure out what the print is, definitely put that in the title. And this is five yards. It sold for 120 305 plus shipping. And now I've got it narrowed down by Mary Engelbright just to give you an idea. This is auction and buy it now. So again, look at this 235 50. So it's got the cute little pattern. The patterns I believe really make some of the items go for a lot more. But Mary Engelbright is a great brand to look up, whether it's fabric or something else, definitely be on the lookout. So I'm just going to show you a few of those. So Mary Engelbright is the second one. The third one is this Fay Burgos. I've never heard of this one, but she popped up a few times during my search. This is two yards and it's gardening. So it could be the pattern that is bringing up the price on this. Let me show you some more by this same person. Or I don't know what that means if she's the designer of the pattern or what. But this one is two yards. This one is one plus yards. So this was on a buy it now. This was on an auction and it's the same pattern. So that pattern looks like it's a good one. Here's another one. It looks like she's got a lot of prints with people and animals and stuff like that. Now we're getting into $60 for two yards. So I don't know. I don't sell fabric. Is that good to me? That sounds pretty darn good if you can pick it up cheap. So here's just a floral print. And one thing I recommend is also searching low to high because you may find this Fay Burgos and think, oh, I found Fay Burgos. But if you search the pattern, it may only go for $20 like this one. So definitely do your research. Look how cute this is. I'm surprised that it did not go for more. That is adorable. All right. The next item is Daisy Kingdom. I would say that this is the one that I hear the most buzz about. Daisy Kingdom is a big money bolo. Lots of the vintage fabric patterns are highly collectible and sought after. This one sold for $174.50. And it's a floral pattern. Now this is the, it says sweet, let's see, sweetheart border, three yards. So this is plain here pretty much, but it's got the border. And usually on the sides of the fabric, it's going to say Daisy Kingdom. And this one is dated. And it tells you the actual, the pattern. So that's fantastic. This one sold for $204.39. The next one here is a very popular pattern from my research. It is Paper Dolls Border. Look how cute. And this one sold for $310. Again, you have the information right here. Patty's Paper Dolls Border by Daisy Kingdom 1998. So it is vintage with a very cool pattern. Here's another Daisy Kingdom of that same thing, Paper Dolls, Paper Dolls 320, 325. So if you guys can find the Paper Dolls, definitely grab it. We have cherished teddies here, $249.95. Pink bunny border, $250. And as far as things selling quickly or being long tail, I don't know much about fabric. If anybody wants to weigh in on that down in the comments, that would be awesome. But again, you can see lots of big money bolos here. It seems like the ones that have the animals and the different cute patterns seem to do better. But with this Daisy Kingdom, I'm also seeing some floral prints that do well. All right, let's see what else we have here. The next one is Holly Hobby. Holly Hobby seems to be a big money bolo for fabric from my research. And you can see here the different little patterns on each block. And then they also show a measurement. This one went for $223.49 plus shipping. Here's another one that went for $314 plus shipping. And this one is American greetings. This is 1.5 yards. And again, right here along the side of the fabric, I love how they give you the information to help you list the item. $148.49 plus shipping. All right, let's take a look at solds. And I am searching high to low Holly Hobby fabric. This one went for $431 with 20 bids. So this one is gardening and a cat. It seems like those gardening patterns seem to do well. Here's another one, $382. I showed you guys that one, showed you that one. $199.99, $159. And again, if I search low to high, I'm sure there's going to be lots of patterns that go for much less. So definitely do your homework before you spend big money on any fabric. But if you can get it for a good price, then definitely just grab it and go. That's what I always say. If it's cheap, grab it and go. All right. Now, here we are. And those were the top five. But there are also some that can go for good or big money just based on the pattern. This one is Budweiser. So just a random fabric. I don't even know if it's branded or what, but it says Anheuser-Busch Budweiser, 2 plus yards. This one went for $75. This is my little pony from 2004. It's a border style. And again, it's got all the information. This is by Hasbro, which is the toy company. This sold for $105.50 plus shipping. This one here, it's just yellow, tiny strawberry print. So there just were multiple people that were interested in having a strawberry print pattern, it looks like. So for $143.38, I don't see a brand down in the comments. It's just seven yards of fabric. So $143.38. So those are the top five fabric Bolo that I found. Again, the ones towards the end, just patterns, certain patterns that people may be looking for that you can sell for big money. So definitely do your homework, always research, but there are five that you can kind of be on the lookout for when you're outsourcing. All right, you guys, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for watching. This is one of my Bolo category videos.  I've been doing these for over two years. And I have a bathroom Bolo's video. I think that was the last one I did, which I love those because those are things that you find in the bathroom that are just a little bit unexpected. Great to find them at estate sales and stuff like that. Thank you all so much for being here. There's going to be some videos popping up and a subscribe button down here. Be sure to do that.

Good morning y'all welcome back to another vlog I'm on my way to weightlifting and then afterwards. I have an appointment with the container store to design my new closet If y'all have been watching the moving vlogs my old closet I had a closet custom made for the townhouse from Ikea By the way from Ikea. It's actually not as Expensive as you would think at all. It is like a pain like sitting there and designing it with them I like had a headache and was like I want to die, but it's actually not as expensive as you would think so anyways I am gonna do the container store just because I Want like a different vibe and honestly I just like can't sit there like yeah And watch the container store be the exact same way. I don't know I want to try something different Okay, I'm selling the other closet somehow And I'm buying a new one and I need this closet set up because I can't organize like really anything in my house I have everything up in the closet, but I'm just like so ridiculous and I have way too much stuff So like I just have to so I have that and then I'm getting a blowout. Thank God And then I have just things to do. I really am over unpacking. I want to be done like I am just Over it, but this is gonna be like the next two days. I'm like oh My god, it's Macy. She literally terrifies me. Are you so strong now? Let me come over this side. Hey guys. I'm can't do slug day It's not true. I didn't sign up for that one. I didn't know you were still going to 7 30 I would have because I was okay. Let me tell them So I have to fix my hair before I get on the World Wide Web. Okay. Oh Okay, I'd make sure it was on me Whenever I say like oh, I'm going to bed early I end up just laying in bed and then falling asleep at like midnight But last night I was like I think I'm actually gonna fall asleep fell asleep at 8 30 And woke up at 7 I did too because I got a text at like 8 48 from some of me They want to do something like that and I'm the cap new and applied yet Satisfying thing when you wake up and like you see text that are from like 8 35 Yeah, I came there my family, but still Macy and I are both exhausted, but we are going to the rodeo tonight No, that was exactly you tell Aaron. She wasn't in there.  Yeah. She's my coach Oh I got the new Starbucks syrup It's cinnamon caramel. However, I meant to get this in a venti for four pumps in a venti. Now It's four pumps in a grande and it is like sweet. Oh You just added it to my order Your order you put sure free vanilla ice coffee. Yes and half of cream. Yeah When did you start getting that when I ordered it for you? No, because I have a hundred stars And if you guys don't know any of the hundred stars on Starbucks to get a free coffee But I also get no classic and not most people take classic with their ice coffee you really No, like do you order them on the app? Yeah, okay I sound so annoying here but the reason that I say this is because Macy had me order her my order recently was like all this help get whatever you get and then she tasted it and was like This is gross.  That is not your normal ice coffee order. That's my ice That's why you don't like it. No go back. No, it's good. It's just me too sweet Yeah, cuz you have four problems. Wait, go back and watch my 2018 Starbucks videos and I this is this was my order. Really? But when I gave it down at three you it wasn't sweet enough Well, I don't understand. You had one pump. No, I do two pumps. You're free vanilla. Okay, then maybe I do like four I think it's yeah, I see you're up. It's just the new syrup. That's really sweet Yeah, it's really sweet. Oh my god. I'm a house. You need to drive I meant to get it in it Yes, the new it's like their cookie butter whatever that and I hate to coffee and it is so funky good I want to try that. I love it. I love you for a while Yeah, I will be sending her a screen recording of my 2018 YouTube video to enter Well, it's just where it goes like when I got you that order you were like this is gross But this syrup is just really But I'm designing my custom closet this morning and I'm getting a blow-up Like okay I'm just letting you know what I'm doing. What are you doing working? Well, cuz I just like what you to work next to me like I know I just want separation yeah, I just want like me to be on my computer and then you to be on your computer I could do that today.  Anyway?  Yeah, I might go get spritz because mine hasn't come in yet I have one case. Okay, that's it. That works. Macy is helping with the Spritz tiktok account guys and both the ones I posted have gone not viral, but like done well I saw that they've done very well. I'm sure they're very happy Claudia reposted. She did mm-hmm Yeah, also guys I run the Spritz tiktok account and people who are commenting Um, this company did it first. Yeah, cuz it's a trend. It's a trend and they're like, oh I keep wanting to help them with trends Yes, yeah, they are idiots. Okay. Well, you can see the new house for this Okay, perfect.  I'm doing it. Maybe I'll cook us dinner Because I would love a home-cooked meal. I honestly just need bone broth and vegetables in my system Like I can't I can't live like this anymore. Mm-hmm. I was actually thinking about why I feel so bad It's because I haven't had vegetables. I've eaten out every single meal for the past like two or three weeks I feel horrible. Uh-huh. Maybe we should make like a crock-pot meal. Just throw it in well I didn't tell the suit what I can just do a soup like that. Okay, I'll tip a crock-pot.  Okay, I Just tell her and she's just done the dom-des-doms like will send me a real. Oh my god. This looks so good Don't you think? She's like, oh wait. I wasn't even thinking that 826 people have been gatekeeping sleep for me like I feel so good You're literally the girl who's like normalize insert the most normal thing ever Normalize breathing normalize the sky is blue. No, it's not like talking. It's like no that's influencers. I'm gonna say one Influencers like how come no one talks about how hard-priced it is like no, babe Wait, I think I should guilt trip remote.  Oh Can we like schedule our workouts together next week? Yeah, I've already had my schedule. I booked my engineers in advance. Um, I just All right, y'all. I'm out of my workout I am Going to the container store. I've been meeting in 20 minutes there with like a closet consultation Person I have all my measurements Um, but I just want to go in because maybe I need to get a few things before I mean, I actually do need a lot of something they can do in their store, but Just like random stuff. I don't know. I'm gonna do some shopping I didn't get my nails done so bad. I'm gonna have like literally no time I I shouldn't even really been doing a blowout today, but like I just I need some things that bring me joy my nails right now Not the vibe I forgot that they don't even open until 10. Duh So I got a Starbucks breakfast sandwich. I'm sitting outside editing a TikTok Went to Tom Thumb. I forgot how nice of an establishment that place is like really brings me back to You know like childhood. It's a real grocery store. Not like the Trader Joe's and Sprouts. I didn't grow up with those You know like a real one like a real movie anyways editing All right. I just got out of my um closet Meeting for the container store. It went really well. It was a lot easier than Ikea obviously um also about like seven times the price but this closet is beautiful and She did a great job. I'm getting So basically I went through like the design process. I'll show you all No, actually Design whatever. So it's a closet room And this would be the wall Okay, we're actually changing it. Okay So this would be the wall with the window But the crazy thing is that like I still will not have enough shoe space But there is a closet off the closet room. That's the window hanging space whatever That's the door like when you walk in that's the Room so drawers all that stuff. Um, I added lights to these that's going to be like cabway boots whatnot And then this is the wall when you like walk in so we've got one two three four five six seven eight see like Even though I'm like this is ridiculous that this is like not even enough. It'll make me donate more I donate all the time though like what I don't know. I think this will be good because I'm thinking about the Ikea closet And it was like similar So I feel like it should be fine. Anyways, it's stunning and beautiful and perfect So I hope that this works I am going to run by I think Abercrombie at North Park. I haven't been to that one yet Um, because I want to see if they have like an outfit for the rodeo or something I have like some ideas of where I want to where I want to take my look And then I have a blowout appointment. I got I was at 11 30 and I pushed it to noon because I thought It was going to be that appointment was going to take longer, but it ends up not taking that long. So anyways All right, I'll just pop ready for the rodeo early Um, because I'm going to cook and just ordered food to make for me and macy Um, I'm wearing this white skirt from Abercrombie this white top I have my black pacy boots. I'm actually going to put this t-shirt on I'm going to link this t-shirt below because it is So good. It's from Abercrombie.  They are So good. So I'll link it over my outfit though Um, because I don't trust myself with all white. I'm also wearing a leather jacket tonight. It's actually a Really cute look, but um, I'm wearing this as a cover And I'm packing a tides pin and I'm really excited for a margarita Um, this is what I'm wearing at home macy She's coming over. She's sleeping over because tomorrow is the st. Patrick's Day parade in Dallas, which is crazy There should be 125,000 people out. So I've already scheduled our alto speaking of use code I love you and get 20 dollars off your first two rides. It's the best ride service ever But you can set the vibes mine's obviously yee-haw like it's a really good thing. So anyways, um This is the look for tonight. We are not leaving for a couple more hours, but mason had plans if we get here So I'm gonna start cooking I don't again listen to the ovaan. I'm like on such a the ovaan cake right now.  So anyways, just based on macy. She's coming over soon. I'm gonna start on our Food I haven't cooked in weeks and it's been making me like so miserable honestly Um, so I'm gonna make some chicken and rice soup The key is add a ton of lemon and it tastes incredible I also got pickles because they look good. I said I wasn't gonna do a haul And I guess I am because here I am already chicken breast for the soup again. This is like the easiest Thing ever to make soup in general, but especially just chicken soup If you want the recipe I originally Made this probably from the modern proper. It's where I got all my recipes from so check it out um, but I'm gonna get going and Gardening my outfit. So you don't really like your outfit in your day. It's just like so much better That's how I feel right now All right, I made some chicken and rice soup I think I mean I definitely put too much rice in here because it expanded this was 10 cups of liquid Um, but the key to this is the lemon and they forgot the lemon so macy's bringing lemon juice Which is not as good, but it's gonna be something just like a healthy meal from home I cannot wait to just be eating like For the record just so everyone knows and here's this it's not a fan of anything. Okay I just like Oh, I feel like my body feel like my eyes are watery so I don't know my body feels like it's deteriorating because all I've eaten For the past like three weeks has been like Doordash or like at restaurants and stuff And like there's just nothing like making your own food and I always feel better Even if like the food that I'm making is like really like unhealthy or like whatever like sugary or whatever it is Um, I just feel better when it's cooked at my house. You know Anyways, I think Macy will be here shortly Um, oh, she's here. That's her Come in Why is she ringing the doorbell? All right, y'all we're heading off to the rodeo all this content will be on tiktok. We made about 17 And I'm talking in a southern accent.

I'm doing laundry right now Um, and then we're actually I'm getting the tv hung up above the fireplace soon Um, and I'm just gonna like unbox some more stuff and just get like hopefully some of the boxes out Because it's really crazy right now So I know that the tv is going to be up so much and it can't be eye level. Oh, hello fits You're going to have to look up like obviously like that when you're sitting here But the main thing I use the tv and it's also a frame tv. So it's like art above the thing anyways Um, it's I use it more like I have the tv on when I'm cooking in here So it's actually totally fine For what I use it for and then also for like sports and stuff when I like have people come over and like watch the game Like whatever like I need a tv in here regardless. So it doesn't really matter Um, this like snooze Casper blanket thing I've been wearing non-stop fits is exhausted because he was running out in the yard for like an hour um This set by the way all is fabletics fabletics has had such cute sets lately. You guys can use Code actually I'll put a link in below because I have a deal with fabletics on the podcast Anyways got my nails done just classic pink not really doing much blasting kelsey ballerini and We're gonna get going on The dishes and whatnot.

I'm just so tired that like nothing is gonna get done. So anyways Getting back to business. I will be making coffee again and guys listen. I'm sorry because I posted about this and I realized and may see it I told me that this califia farms creamer The cookie butter flavor. It is unbelievable, but apparently it's like always sold out. Everybody like literally can never find it Um, but it is so good like unbelievable Califia farms is my favorite iced coffee anyways, but I'm gonna make myself a second coffee and heat up my soup Oh, this is what I was gonna say. I realized when I was gonna heat up leftovers that I don't have a microwave I don't know what I thought like can I put? A microwave out here Like I feel like I can put one in here, right? Or is that not allowed to just like hidden? I thought that's okay But also part of me is like maybe I'll just be healthier and I also have an air fryer Like I was heating things up in that that's just what I had to do Oh, and I feel like it's like fine. What do you guys think? I'm in no rush to get the microwave Um, if anything, it might be good for me. I might like make me just like cook more The soup that I made the other night is really good. So I'm gonna have that for lunch as well and just Get going with my name. I might send my laptop up like watch it.

Bye It doesn't scare me because I chose this but like it is interesting when you have so much wrapped up into your career That's not just How you make your money. No, it does scare me. Yeah, also like but I more so just get so annoyed of myself


Beta sheets are actually simple in many ways, because there is almost only one or two ways to organize beta sheets. It might not look at it if you see the structure this way, but again, that's why I love to have these simplified cartoon representations. So I'm not going to draw this particular protein, but what makes this complicated is that beta sheets, like helix is in practice, they're not going to be perfectly ideal. But when a helix is not ideal, it's going to be slightly tilted or something. It's hard to, if you're actually significantly distorting a helix, you're going to start breaking the hydrogen bonds, and then it's an obvious kink in it. But what can happen with beta sheet, since it's a sheet, right? You can twist it a little bit or twist it like that, and then you also have all these turns between them. So the reason why this might look like a spaghetti-like mess, trust me, it's not. But it's some of these, you see the turns, and they're of different lengths and everything. If I were to show these proteins with every single atom, you would see a beautifully packed system there, not going to be holes. There might be some water in the binding site here in the middle or something, but each domain here is going to be a beautiful and rigid structure. So avoid getting too confused by the loops. That's, on the other hand, why it frequently makes much more sense to draw beta sheets with these strands. So we talked about this before, but when I draw arrows as sheets, they go from the N terminal side to the C terminal side. So this is really in the direction of the sequence. And then I have my next sheet and maybe a, sorry, not sheet, I call the individual component strand. So N to C, N to C, N to C, etc. The reason for drawing these schematic things is that you avoid the problems where you don't see the forest for all the trees. You don't really care about the specific information about the loops. You want to study the relative orientations of the sheets, and in particular what strand here is binding to what other strand. We'll be returning to that. Beta sheets are simple though, because there are pretty much only two ways we can organize them. We can have them like that, anti-parallel, or I can have them that they're parallel. But I start with one strand, N to C, and then they go on the inside where there could be something, either a loop or a helix or something. And then I have a second strand next to the first, and they're, yes, N to C in both cases. And they're, again, forming hydrogen bonds, but the direction of the chain is parallel for both of them. That's it. There are no other ways. It's a two-dimensional structure. It's not three-dimensional. Sure, the size might be different. One strand might be slightly longer. They might be twisted. That's why it looks complicated in practice. But beta sheets are actually way simpler in terms of domains than helices, even if you're not going to think so when you look at them in PDB. They're also continuous. Typically, you tend to have two stacks. It's actually pretty rare. You virtually never have an isolated beta sheet. Things get more complicated if you're mixing helices and sheets. But if it's pure beta sheets, they tend to be grouped in two or two. Of these, the anti-parallel sheets are more common. Why is the anti-parallel sheet more common? Well, it's easy to have something here and then have a short loop, and then something, and then a short loop. Here, the dashed line here has to be something. It's not going to be advantageous to have long loops all the time, and then you need to create a helix or something. So anti-parallel is more common, but it doesn't mean it's not that parallel is rare. It's just not quite as common. The other thing that you see that makes life more complicated, looking at this structure, do you see that this sheet in particular, it's kind of twisted, right? So you're never going to see a beautiful parallel sheet if I grab a piece of paper here. They will never look like that. They're rather going to look something like that, twisted. That is not because it's imperfect, or rather it is because it's imperfect, but that's because the Ramachandran diagram tells us they should be that way. I know I'm lying a bit now. Remember when I drew all these structures and say that beta sheets are pleated and just stretched out? Sorry, it was kind of a lie. How was that a lie? Let me show you the Ramachandran diagram. You remember that you had the phi angle here and the psi angle there in the amino acid backbone? Well, to be perfectly stretched out, both phi and psi should be at 180 degrees, right? Then you would literally have a zigzag chain. But look at that region up there where you have the beta sheets. That is not up in the exact corner where both phi and psi are exactly 180 degrees. It's slightly offset. And when this is slightly offset, you're still going to have something that is mostly zigzag. But in each repeating unit here, we're going to be deviating a little bit, a couple of degrees. And when that happens in all the chains, that's when you're done with this effect that we're gradually going to twist the sheet as we go along in each strand here. That has a couple of effects. First, it means that all these sheets that appear to be distorted, they are distorted, but they're not distorted because it's a bad protein. They are distorted from the planar case because that's going to be the most stable form for any beta sheet. Perfectly planar would be rare. I wouldn't actually believe a large planar beta sheet if I saw it. Second, virtually all helices have... Sorry, helices. Virtually all sheets have a right-handed crossing that you see on the upper part here. So that I go there, it's not entirely... Well, the right-handed part, imagine looking at it from my side here so that you're going to turn over and then you come back and that turn has happened in a right-handed fashion when you're seeing it from the first strand to the second strand. It can be left-handed, as you see in the lower example, but that's going to be very rare. Much more rare than seeing parallel strands. The reason for that is, again, this turn. It's not random. It's not that they're turning 15 degrees in either direction. This means that it's always offset in the same direction and that simply means that this part is going to be less stressed because if the each strand is anyway turning a bit, it's going to be easier to make a crossover that is compatible with that turn rather than making one that is not. The one that is anti-compatible with that one will effectively have to turn a bit more than 180 degrees, say 195, while the first one will only have to turn roughly 170 or 165 degrees. But, again, that's all we needed when they are parallel. If they are anti-parallel, this effect is less strong. So as a result of that, you're always seeing a bit of twist to sheets, but that's because it's the most stable structure. Can you imagine anything else? Well, this is for one sheet. If I combine two sheets, there are going to be at least two different ways to put them together. Let's look at it.


Stevenson falling 3-0 to St. Mary's tonight. Christian Taylor had Coach Graham Miller after this one. Frustrating one tonight's opinions on how this one all went down. Yeah it was very similar to Saturday you know first four or five minutes you know the energy not there that we started okay we started decent but then as the half wore on we just didn't get the energy from the guys that came on the field you know we lost two back goals pretty quickly you know after two you know I think it was like space of two minutes and I think that like you know the heads dropped and you know when you're on this kind of roll of you know not winning games then the heads are going to drop and you know we just didn't get it but I thought second half the fight was there and it was a great fight all the way to the end and you know you saw that with the guys and unlucky that you know they got they scored that third it was a nice goal from their number 13 but I thought the fight was there but we just got to put 90 minutes together. Now you changed the outside backs there for the second half how did that help contribute to a better second half? Yeah well we just got it we just got to keep giving guys opportunities and you know it's a big squad and I thought you know Tommy and Shane we did a development game last night and they worked really hard and so those things that's why we do those games and you know we're going to keep giving guys opportunities that are shown up in practice they're looking confident and I thought Shane and Tommy and they played the whole 45 minutes for the first time this season both did really well so that was one thing we talked about at the end there. Coach save group thank you very much. You're welcome. That's coach Miller Christian Taylor go MustangSports.com
