Chuck Hagel
Candidate to replace Hagel is former Pentagon insider
Jim Michaels
WASHINGTON — Michele Flournoy, the leading contender to become the next secretary of Defense, is a well-respected former Pentagon official who is not well-known outside military circles.
People who have worked with her said she would be a good choice to replace Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who often struggled to master the complexities of issues or exercise strong leadership in the Defense Department.
"The next secretary of Defense will have to be a strong voice," said Dave Barno, a retired three-star general who worked alongside Flournoy at the Center for a New American Security, a think-tank Flournoy co-founded. "That may have been a challenge for Secretary Hagel."
Flournoy served as undersecretary for policy, the No. 3 job in the Defense Department, from 2009 to 2012.
Flournoy is well-versed in the often-Byzantine world of defense policy, Barno said. Hagel, who was an infantryman in Vietnam, had no experience inside the Pentagon before taking over the job in 2013.
If selected, Flournoy would be the first woman to head the Pentagon.
Another former Defense official, Ashton Carter, who had served as deputy secretary of Defense, and Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., are also possible candidates for the job.
Reed, a former Army officer who has emerged as a leading voice on defense issues on Capitol Hill, said Monday he is not interested in the job. He was elected to a fourth term in the Senate this month.
Flournoy was under consideration for the top job when Hagel was named to the post in 2013 and has the confidence of the White House.
When Hagel was appointed to the post, the major defense challenges were winding down the war in Afghanistan and shrinking the size of the military.
A year later, the administration was caught unaware when Islamic State militants attacked in Iraq, seizing large swaths of territory and handing the administration a full-blown security crisis.
The United States responded with an air campaign against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria. About 3,000 U.S. troops are being dispatched to Iraq to protect U.S. facilities and help train Iraq's security forces.
Michael O'Hanlon, an analyst at the Brookings Institution, said Hagel may not have been the strongest choice to head the Pentagon.
Obama selected him largely because Hagel was a loyalist and helped the president with national security issues when the two men were in the Senate.
Flournoy shares the administration's belief that combat forces are not the answer to the threat in Syria and Iraq from the Islamic State.
She may be a better advocate for a belief by many in the Pentagon that more can be done to strengthen the U.S. response without sending in ground forces.
"I think here there has to be a discussion about whether there's more we should be doing," Flournoy said on PBS' Newshour in October.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates and his successor, Leon Panetta, clashed at times with the administration. Hagel was a more pliable choice in the wake of two experienced Washington insiders.
"The White House proved it doesn't want independent-minded people in that job," said Thomas Donnelly, an analyst at the American Enterprise Institute.
The administration has insisted on micromanaging the smallest decisions relating to such issues as the number of forces to be left in Afghanistan after the combat mission ends this year and limitations on the role of advisers in Iraq, analysts said, adding that many Obama loyalists mistrust the advice they get from the military.
That could make it difficult to find a replacement for Hagel, Donnelly said.
"Why would you want to take a job where you're going to be second or third banana carrying out orders from the White House?" Donnelly asked.

Home lighting has become an essential part of decorating the interiors of your home. Selecting the right light has become very important as it makes your environment look livelier. People want to decorate their homes in an appealing manner. They purchase decorative living room wall lights that can match the interiors of their house and can complement the existing furniture pieces in their home. Purchasing the best lighting will take time and research.
living room wall Lightings have decorative as well as functional features. Each room in the house has a different purpose; hence, it requires different styles of lighting. Additionally, mood considerations are also an important factor that should be kept in mind while placing the lights in any particular area of your home. For instance, a soft light will be perfect for the relaxing lounge area.
Interior designing is also an important factor as many custom living room wall lights and lamps are beautifully made and are a work of art. People these days are keener for decorating their homes in a contemporary style, as they wish their homes to look attractive. As a result, they spend time and money in selecting the perfect wall lightings that can decorate the interiors of their rooms in an aesthetic manner.
Living areas should be decorated with the bright lights, as people like to read books in this area. Also, these wall lights will make the environment look peppier when you will be chit-chatting with your friends.
Its necessary to add ceiling light that can have a fan too. Furthermore, the living areas are decorated with attractive pendant lights or chandeliers. Pendant lights can be pulled down towards the table, as and when required.
The design of wall lights get's varied and there is a huge choice and you can select from traditional as well as contemporary lights. However, you need to ensure that you are selecting the lighting pieces that can match with the interiors of your room.
The only limits to what you have are your own preferences and budget. You can purchase the illuminations from the online shopping portal as it will allow you to select your favourite wall Lights from a wide variety of designs and styles.

Whole-body bioelectrical impedance analysis for measuring body composition is well explored but may not be sensitive enough to changes in the trunk compared to changes in the limbs. Measuring individual body segments can address this issue. A segmental bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy device, the SBISD, was designed for body composition measurement, and a prototype was implemented. Compensation was performed to adjust the measured values to correct for phase difference at high frequencies and to counteract the hook effect when measuring the human body. The SBISD was used to measure an RRC test cell to confirm it measured appropriately, and measurements were within 1% of the expected value. Then, the SBISD was used to measure three subjects and compared against three existing analyzers. SEE was used as a measure of how well the measured data points fit to the expected semicircular shape of the Cole-Cole plot. The arm had SEE of 1.6 Ω, 1.3 Ω, 0.6 Ω, 1.5 Ω, and 0.8 Ω for subjects 1 through 5, respectively. For the trunk segment, SEE was 0.4 Ω, 0.4 Ω, 0.2 Ω, 0.5 Ω, and 0.5 Ω. For the leg segment, SEE was 0.7 Ω, 1.6 Ω, 1.0 Ω, 1.0 Ω, and 0.9 Ω. For most segmental measurements, the SBISD was within 10% of the R0 and R∞ values determined with a Bodystat Multiscan 5000 and an Impedimed SFB7. The impedance values from the third reference device, a Seca 514, differed significantly due to its 8-electrode measuring technique, meaning impedance measurements could not be compared directly.

"This movie is stupid, stupid idea." Jean-Luc Godard
In 1967, during the making of "La Chinoise," film director Jean-Luc Godard falls in love with 19-year-old actress Anne Wiazemsky and marries her.
Paris 1967. Jean-Luc Godard, the leading filmmaker of his generation, is shooting La Chinoise with the woman he loves, Anne Wiazemsky, 20 years his junior. They are happy, attractive, in love. They marry. But the film's reception unleashes a profound self-examination in Jean-Luc. The events of May '68 will amplify this process, and the crisis that shakes the filmmaker. Deep-rooted conflicts and misunderstandings will change him irrevocably. Revolutionary, off-the-wall, destructive, brilliant, he will pursue his choices and his beliefs to the breaking point… As he did with The Artist, Academy Award® winning director Michel Hazanavicius delivers another tribute to classic cinema, both wildly funny and deeply moving.

New highly mutated Covid strain discovered
A coronavirus variant with 46 mutations has been detected in southern France

The new variant of Covid-19 was first discovered in a patient who returned to France from Cameroon. Researchers said it's too early to assess the variant's features.
The new strain, B.1.640.2, was detected in 12 patients living in the same geographical area in southeastern France, a team of scientists said in a preprint published online on medRxiv last week.
The strain is related to the B.1.640 lineage, which was classified as a variant under monitoring (VUM) by the World Health Organization (WHO) in November.
The first known patient was a vaccinated adult who returned to a French village from a trip to Cameroon and exhibited mild respiratory symptoms the day before the diagnosis.
Genome analysis revealed that the virus of this particular strain has 46 mutations, the researcher said. "It is too early to speculate on virological, epidemiological or clinical features of this… variant based on these 12 cases," they wrote.
UK PM issues warning over Covid
"Overall, these observations show once again the unpredictability of the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants and their introduction from abroad, and they exemplify the difficulty to control such introduction and subsequent spread."
Scientists around the world have been on high alert for new mutations of the coronavirus because they could produce variants that are more contagious and vaccine-resistant.
The emergence of the Omicron variant, classified as a variant of concern (VOC) by the WHO in November, prompted multiple countries to close their borders and tighten other pandemic-related restrictions.
"As this pandemic drags on, it's possible that new variants could evade our countermeasures and become fully resistant to current vaccines or past infection, necessitating vaccine adaptations," WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned last week.

The first year of the Wisdom Circle went by in a flash. Our first evening Sonie and I expected maybe 20 of our students and friends. Instead, 75 women showed up. Besides saying, "Holy Cow!" we determined that there appeared to be a need, a longing, for experience in Women's Wisdom now. What "women's wisdom" means to each individual seems to be different - as unique as each woman with the longing. Our circle has been always organised around that premise.
It is our self-definition that we are here to encourage each woman to access her own "inner crone" - that place that knows within her heart, where we connect with divine. Women of many different faiths and spiritual paths have attended our circle. All are welcome. It is our idea that as we all share our strengths and wisdoms, each woman will be introduced to more tools that may serve her on her faith walk.
The first year of our circle's monthly focus structure was planned in about 10 minutes. I consulted my own medicine wheel of stones, and it was very apparent what we would be doing each month. Our second year the planning was more of a combining of both Sonya's and my understandings. This year, I used a drawing by Joy Fox to open me to inspiration and guidance.
The Grandmother's are women over the age of 50 who have stepped up to be of service to the circle, and are able to hold the energy of the direction which they occupy in the circle. The circle would not exist today without the selfless service of these women. They spend time every week helping to plan, gather materials, making donations in love and service. I will be ever grateful to them.
Tha Auntie's are women under the age of 50 (or over) who have stepped in to serve the circle in some way. We have promised, and I have been working on a training for the Auntie's and Grandmother's and anyone else that wishes to learn more about those things we do in and around circle.


Judge Keller's lawyer, Charles L. Babcock, said that many people shared in a failure of communication that day and that her role was minor.
"Hindsight being 20/20, I think Judge Keller is certainly sorry that the system broke down," Mr. Babcock said. "As far as her overt actions, I don't think she feels she did anything wrong. Nor do I."
Well, of course she doesn't think she's done anything wrong. I don't think she's ever thought she's done anything wrong - that's a big part of the problem here, and a big part of the reason why she needs to be an ex-judge, stat. As such, I don't think she'll be taking up Evan on his offer any time soon. And finally, while I realize that attorney Babcock is just zealously representing his client, it seems to me that if she genuinely was sorry that the system broke down - not that she had anything to do with it, mind you, or that what she did have to do with it was in any way in the wrong - she might want to take some action to ensure that something was done to try to prevent it from breaking down that way again. But hey, since she didn't do anything wrong, that must be someone else's responsibility. Clearly, it's never hers.
UPDATE: Scott and Vince have more.
Oh, my. Republicans are human and make mistakes. Isn't that nice to know.
Sharon Keller didn't make a mistake. She was deliberate in her actions. And deliberate in her adherence to the agenda.
Even some Republicans are tired of the agenda. The ones who are losing their jobs and their homes. The ones who wonder from time to time if the roof at church is going to fall in on them for blindly supporting it all.
Of course the same could be said of some Democrats. Although I suspect some of them avoid churches. Fully expecting the roof to fall in on them.
"We the people" need to get the "we" back in the "us" of the "US" and partisanship is not the way to go.
We need to start dumping the politicians at the polls. We need to get rid of the Republicrats. That includes quite a few "Democrats" who need to be replaced with real Democrats who are this country's only hope.
As for "Republicans," they are all Republicrats at this point. The Democrats need to wake up before all the "Democrats" become Republicrats as well.

Okay, you may think and say whatever you want about me. You may call me a hater, an envious individual or even a loser, but that won't convince me to not write the following column. You see, I consider myself a philosopher who seeks the universal truth of everything surrounding us. Unlike many people, who only see shadows and mere perceptions of things, I see the essence of everything. Following Plato's allegory of the cave in The Republic, I will say that I have been inside the cave, I have been released from the cave and seen the light, and now I am back to the cave with complete understanding of the world. I am an advocate of the truth, and will not tolerate ignorance, which according to Socrates, is the only evil.
Girl #1: Cristiano Ronaldo is so hot. I will do anything to sleep with him.
Girl #2: Hell yeah, I would certainly include that achievement on my résumé.
1. He is extremely egotistical: During the 2006 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal between Portugal and England, English striker Wayne Rooney –– who was Ronaldo's teammate in club soccer at that time –– stamped Portuguese defender Ricardo Carvalho when fighting for the possession of the ball. Quickly, Ronaldo went to the referee in order to complain about the foul. Naturally, Rooney felt betrayed by the fact that Ronaldo, his teammate and friend, was trying to kick him out of the game –– and not just an ordinary game, but a World Cup quarterfinal that most players in the world don't get the chance to play in during their lifetimes. Rooney then mildly pushed Ronaldo (like NFL players sometimes do to opponents during the game). In my opinion, this was a reasonable reaction. However, Ronaldo didn't care about Rooney.
The Portuguese kept complaining and eventually achieved what they wanted. Rooney was expelled. Some people try to defend Ronaldo by arguing that during the World Cup they weren't teammates because they were playing for their respective countries, that Ronaldo just did what any player should have done: perform in the interest of your team and country. Although those are valid points, I think the right decision from Ronaldo would have been to avoid the situation. Manchester United –– the club that developed him as a player, saw him rise to fame and paid him more than any other player on the team –– plays in England.
Ronaldo owed at least some degree of respect to all the English fans that supported him every year, and the English businessmen that made him "Cristiano Ronaldo". Besides, the foul situation was between the referee, Carvalho and Rooney. Ronaldo had nothing to do with the play. However, he just cared about himself and winning at all costs. To make matters worse, he taunted every English and decent soccer fan in the world when he was afterwards caught by the international broadcast intentionally winking at the Portuguese bench.
2. He doesn't know what respect means: In addition to the offense he committed against English fans explained above, Ronaldo doesn't fail to show that he is obnoxious under other circumstances. In a UEFA Champions League match against Sporting Lisbon (a club where Ronaldo used to play), Manchester United head coach Sir Alex Ferguson told him to pass the ball into the penalty box area instead of taking a shot during the free kick opportunity. Ronaldo, instead of listening, decided to shoot to the goal. And you know what? He scored. In my opinion, this is unacceptable.
As a player, your role is to obey your coach, not to execute what you find correct. But no, he couldn't just stop there. Ronaldo then looked at the bench were his coach was and made a mocking gesture. If I had been Sir Alex, Ronaldo would have been benched for a long time because in sports, as in most of society, discipline is more important than talent or performance. Another disrespecting situation regarding Ronaldo is that he is constantly diving during games and making a show out of everything.
He is the biggest drama queen of them all. Most Americans despised the FIFA World Cup because of all the diving and acting performances by players. And although I love soccer, I have to agree with this one. Diving is not just a lack of respect towards the game, but to all the fans of the sport that go to stadiums or watch the games on television.
3. He dated Paris Hilton: I think this one is self-explanatory.

Today I would like to share one of my favorite fall side dishes, Brown Sugar Acron Squash. It is simple and easy to make, requiring only four ingredients!
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut your acorn squash in half and remove a small slice from the top and bottom if the halves do not sit evenly on the baking sheet. Remove seeds.
Coat the inside of the squash with Earth Balance or butter, forming a layer about 1/4 inch thick. Fill with brown sugar.
Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until squash is soft. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
Scoop out the contents from skin and mash in a bowl. Mix in a pinch of salt. Serve warm.
This makes an excellent side dish to any fall inspired meal with its rich and sweet flavor. Acorn squash was one of my favorites as a kid, and I cook it every fall for me and my husband. If you have a larger family, you may consider cooking two squashes, but one should accommodate 2-4 people just fine.


New York — In what may be the just the first of many such sweeps, Alfonso Cuaron's masterful, memory-drenched drama Roma dominated the New York Film Critics Circle Awards on Thursday, winning best film, best director and best cinematography.
While the selections of critics groups like the New York Film Critics Circle and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association often deviate from awards-season favorites, their prestige and early timing can bring less heralded films and performers into the Oscar conversation.
That may have happened with the group's pick for best actress: Regina Hall, star of Andrew Bujalski's indie comedy "Support the Girls," about the waitress staff of a Texas sports bar. Hall bested the likes of Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born) and Olivia Colman (The Favourite).
Supporting acting prizes went to more widely acknowledged contenders: Regina King for her performance as the matriarch of Barry Jenkins' James Baldwin adaptation If Beale Street Could Talk; and Richard E. Grant as Melissa McCarthy's debauched conspirator in the literary forgery drama Can You Forgive Me?
The critics also added special awards for the retiring chief curator of the Museum of the Moving Image, David Schwartz, and Kino Classics' DVD box set Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers.

Hackbright Academy Forms Trade Association with Other Industry Leaders To Set New Education Standards
March 10, 2015 - In Hackbright News by Paria Rajai
In support of the White House and President Obama's TechHire initiative, the New Economy Skills Training Association (NESTA) launched as a new trade organization – a joint partnership between App Academy, Dev Bootcamp, Flatiron School, Galvanize, General Assembly, Hackbright Academy, Hack Reactor, MakerSquare, Turing School, and Wyncode.
NESTA's mission is to establish best practices, standards, and increase accountability for outcome-based NEST organizations. Their first initiative is a standard outcome reporting methodology across coding schools. (NEST organizations are welcome to apply for NESTA membership here.)
"As our industry continues to grow rapidly, it is crucial that our schools provide consistent and reliable statistics to ensure we're held to the highest standards demanded by our students and America's top companies. We are excited to collaborate with leaders of other top coding schools to establish these best practices," said NESTA Chairman and Hackbright Academy CEO David J. Phillips.
As part of their commitment, NESTA issued a letter to President Obama outlining the new trade association between the coding schools and their pledge to publish outcome data on an annual basis. Outcome data is based on mutually agreed upon criteria and will be verified by third-party CPAs.
NESTA has begun the process by standardizing the following:
Completion Rates
Average Tuition
The full list of criteria is in the NESTA Letter to President Obama.
White House Support of Coding Schools
U.S. CTO Megan Smith and NESTA Chairman/Hackbright CEO David J. Phillips after an Inclusive Hiring Roundtable at the White House
President Obama recently launched the TechHire campaign to rapidly train Americans for well-paying technology jobs with participation from coding bootcamps. "Expanding coding bootcamps" was a key component of that economic agenda.
"It doesn't matter where you learned to code, it just matters how good you are in writing code," stated President Obama in an address at the National League of Cities.
Hackbright Academy has been collaborating with industry leaders, federal policy advisors, and administration officials in Washington D.C. to raise awareness about the effectiveness of coding schools, especially as method to increase the representation of women and underrepresented minorities in the industry.
The launch of NESTA was mentioned on the White House Blog today with US CTO Megan Smith and Director of National Economic Council Jeff Zients outlining that "a group of coding bootcamps have begun collaborating on how to transparently report completion and employment outcomes and they published an initial plan in a letter to the President today."
With the launch of NESTA, the hope is to see continued support for Hackbright-style training initiatives as a viable method to skill up Americans for today's technology jobs.
"We enroll dynamic, smart and dedicated women who are now effective engineers in companies around the country," explained David. "It's part of Hackbright's mission to make sure that this pathway will always exist for those ready to work hard and apply their talent toward technology."

Where then do we quench our thirst for lowly but almighty zero's?
its worked brilliantly for me over the last 20907248182351.028089724211549023 Kmh or 48 years if you want to be technical.
I often measure steel with mixed metric and imperial measurements sometime its easier to see an exact mark at 4 inch's than give an approximate mm measurement.
I do think the American system has more merit than the old English measurements like Whitworth etc. Perhaps where we are getting it wrong is trying to standardise. Old aircraft flew and new ones fail due to errors ? Just ignore that small section of aviation history where the comets kept falling out of the sky - funny they still do, the RAF has lost a few in the last 20 years. (otherwise known as Nimrod or comet mk4).
And these are the brand new ones we scrapped with zero hours on the clock (there you go toolmaker a zero for you).

It gets worse we we trust computers which are really bad at math. And yet the disasters are not just for home users.
Have i read this correctly googles filtering server searched its own database and shut itself down ?
Are they getting fed up of our searches containing f-ing google this that or the other when their service is less than perfect.
We have gone full circle to the early space crashes that involved the dreaded missing jump returns in code leading to code stalling and the inevitable crash.
When are programmers going to stop being narcissists and admit they are not perfect.
we will all suffer the day they remove the OFF switch.

Computers are rarely bad at mathematical computations, however, programmers often are.
A rant about PC reliability.
Its a shame that they are only able to do addition and subtraction to achieve complex computations and are truncated by there limited word length of bits, as for random numbers even using monte carlo is realistically beyond the capability of a PC to truly generate a random number. The fact they are cyclic is also hindrance.
And yet we argue the far end of a fart that computers are reliable and the operators/programmers are to blame. Programmers are to blame, they are trying to convince us we need to have our every whim catered for by machines. If you build something really reliable and it makes loads of money upgrade it to a new one so the old reliable one becomes obsolete so you can sell an unfinished glitchy unreliable one.
Its a pain in the bum hole that our governments have decided our whole life will be online to acquire benefits, pay bills, apply for licences etc and yet the reliability of the whole infrastructure is questionable at best.
I assume from this that you have only looked at distances in American Imperial measures. The liquid volumes are about 20% smaller than the English equivalents. This all goes back to the American Pint being 16 ounces and the original English pint being 20 ounces. It really would be simpler if everyone used the Metric system. Powers of ten for multipliers.
I have now got to a point in life where i have decided to have the attitude of whatever floats the boat, 4oz such an insignificant figure.
It really would be simpler if everyone used the Metric system. Powers of ten for multipliers.
Then we would not be able to use those lovely rods, poles and perches. We would have to keep chains of course, how else could you lay out a cricket pitch? One could not expect the MCC to go metric, just not cricket old boy.
I was always aware of the time spent (wasted) on learning £ s p arithmetic in school. At least the Americans have had the good sense to always use decimal currency, so it seems strange that most are resistant to the idea of decimal measurements in general.
Apart from the decimal nature of the ISO metric system the thing that I like the best is the consistency of the units. If you forget what certain derived units are you only have to use the base units of kg, m and sec to get reminded.
That is as simple as it gets. This consistency of the units reduces the chance of errors greatly.
Do not just think of the ISO metric system as being only a decimal system, it goes much further than that.
I'm currently making a tripod stand for a garden sculpture/armillary one leg is 15 3/4 " and the other two are 40mm the circumference at the base is 7 3/4" and only one fathom and that is can anyone fathom out what the hell I'm supposed to be doing - just yards away from reality.
While the inferial system has such idiocies as "fluid-ounce" which is a measure of volume, not weight.

360 lace wigs In Gaul and Germany itself, with the possible exception of Trier and Cologne, the archeological evidence suggests at most a fleeting presence of very few Jews, primarily itinerant traders or artisans.[63] A substantial Jewish population emerged in northern Gaul by the Middle Ages,[64] but Jewish communities existed in 465 CE in Brittany, in 524 CE in Valence, and in 533 CE in Orleans.[65] Throughout this period and into the early Middle Ages, some Jews assimilated into the dominant Greek and Latin cultures, mostly through conversion to Christianity.[66][better King Dagobert I of the Franks expelled the Jews from his Merovingian kingdom in 629.

The Tale, which stars Laura Dern as a version of the director, is so relevant to the MeToo moment that it's startling to learn that Fox, a documentarian making her scripted debut, had been considering this project for years.

I hereby start the petition for regular 4-day weekends, can I get a second?! It was one of those weekends where I did a bit of this a lot of that, and am fully recharged for another week! I did more relaxing and a snuggling on the couch - and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way!!! Pure bliss!!
Finally found some new boots & wouldn't you know it I find a coat I love and want.... AND there are NO MORE LEFT, not one single one left, in my size in the entire company (They searched/tracked for me!)!!! Back to the drawing board I guess. I love the boots so much I want them in black too - but restrained.
There was lots of sewing.
I found two GREAT new fabrics - a super thick and super soft carmel-y tan and a deep luscious burgundy! I listed a bunch of new ones with the zipper colors many of you have requested!!! PERFECT HOLIDAY GIFT FOR YOUR LADIES!!!! (Sorry had to!) There are also two-toned and Gold Sequins listed!!!!
There was LOTS of eating and Holiday Drinking. With Friends in town last weekend (for a long weekend) I'm sure I've gained at least 5 pounds! So I ended on a healthier note - 1.5 hour gym trip, sushi for dinner!
Spill how were your weekends? Did you score any holiday shopping deals?
PS - Stay tuned! I have a full line-up of Fab Gift & Holiday Guides for you ladies & can't wait to share!!!
That coat is GORGEOUS. And so are the booties. Huge drag about your sizes; I'm so sorry!
Great pick for the coat, that's stunning! Too bad about the boots, I hate it when that happens, you search and search for the perfect things and then you cannot get it because it's sold out on your size. You'll find another great option, you'll see.
so sorry to hear about the coat, boo! can we officially petition congress for four-day weekends? :) I'm on board!
I'm on board, too! The last few days have been perfection.
Ahh and the coat hunt continues! I will keep looking for you!
And I too found it very necessary to get back on the healthy train last night.
Oooh - those boots are heaven!!! Great find.
Coat is gorgeous -- try eBay maybe? And those boots are too cute. Off to check our your shop, so addicted!
Great score on the boots and thanks for the heads up! I picked up the black heeled pair and will give you the 411 once they arrive. Keep checking back for the coat b/c sometimes one or two will get returned and they re-list. I'll keep my eyes peeled for something similar, too. It's the worst when you find what you want and the mother is sold out. Why??
And I'm with you on the 4 day weekends. A girl can dream.
oooh it sounds like you had a phenomenal weekend! i couldn't agree more - i would love for 4 day weekends to be a regular thing.
i hope you can find that dream coat somewhere! did you try seeing if anyone is selling it, on eBay or elsewhere?
Aw..I hate when you find something you love (after a serious search) only to find it is sold out. Great coat...bummer.
How is it, I always am too late to the party...and miss when you post all of your new bags...sigh..I have a burgandy clutch, that camel would have been perfect...I suppose I need to get better about stalking your etsy. lol.
I found a fabulous printed maxi in the black friday sale at Reiss, and online at Barneys I found a sleek little Alexander Wang number but I just missed out.... I was a big fan of the amazing offers around, but the queues at some of the shops in Manhattan were insane!
Shop the latest boots in Chicago at City Soles in Wicker Park!

Forbes March-es Into Oakdale
Jen Snyder June 15, 2009 / 4:53 PM August 28, 2015
Forbes March joins the cast of ATWT!
Just when you think Luke and Noah have run out of story, the powers that be over at ATWT have thrown a wrench into that theory. Forbes March has landed the newly created role of Mason, Noah's gay college professor.
March is best known for his role as the recently deceased Nash Brennan on "One Life To Live". March landed the role in July of 2005, nearly five years after he exited the role of Scott Chandler on "All My Chidlren". March's other acting credits include "CSI", "Northwood", "Wired City", "Mutant X", and numerous others.
When it was revealed that March's new character is gay, internet buzz initially hinted that he would be a foil to the highly publicized Nuke romance. However, show sources were quick to squash that rumor. Whatever the case, March's first airdate is July 14th.

As Kanye West remains under heavy medical supervision, his wife Kim Kardashian West remains a constant presence by his bedside.
"The kids have not visited. Kim has been there," a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE. Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA, where West is being treated, allows children to visit with adult accompaniment and patient permission.
Though supportive, a Kardashian family insider says that the episode has left Kim, 36, feeling "overwhelmed" and concerned about West's relationship with their children, North, 3, and Saint, 11 months.
"She is very worried about the kids being around Kanye," another source close to the family tells PEOPLE.
West, 39, was hospitalized for exhaustion and sleep deprivation shortly after he canceled the remaining dates of his Saint Pablo tour last Monday, and remained there over the Thanksgiving holiday .

Diversity: how else can you jump from an online poker space for the craps table and to a bingo hall although staying seated in your most comfy chair? Most online casinos feature a large number of casino table games, slots and video poker machines. Moreover, in numerous significant online gambling companies it is possible to switch from online casino gambling to online sports wagering together with the identical username and account.
Furthermore for the list of benefits pointed out above, online gambling offers equal chance for folks with disabilities or those who can not afford traveling out of their state to play within a legal land based casino.
Nevertheless, reading regarding the benefits of online gambling makes the massive reputation of online gambling, online poker playing and online sports wagering a great deal a lot easier to know.


Tooth infections are a form of dental abscess caused by oral bacteria (usually various strains of Streptococcus mutans). This condition is often very painful and can cause serious complications including tooth loss if left untreated. Fortunately, it is possible to prevent most cases of tooth infection with proper oral hygiene, healthy lifestyle habits and regular prophylactic cleanings. If a tooth abscess does develop, prompt treatment usually makes it possible to save most of the tooth structure.
How Do Tooth Infections Develop?
Infections in the pulp of a tooth almost always develop as a result of dental caries (cavities). Bacteria in the mouth release acids as they feed and multiply. These waste products dissolve healthy enamel and allow the bacteria to penetrate further and further into the tooth. Once the cavity has penetrated to the living tissue in the center of the tooth, the bacteria can enter and infect the pulp. It is also possible for bacteria to gain access to the pulp through a chip or crack in a damaged tooth.
What Happens Inside the Infected Tooth?
When a tooth becomes infected, the body sends white blood cells to attack the bacteria. The interior of the tooth becomes filled with dead pulp tissue, bacteria (both living germs and those that have been killed by the immune system) and white blood cells. This material is called pus. It is an off-white color and has a foul smell. Inflammation is a side effect of the body's immune response to the tooth abscess. Damage to the nerve in the tooth root causes ongoing pain. If the nerve is completely destroyed, the pain may stop. However, the bacteria may migrate through the root of the tooth into surrounding tissue, creating an even larger abscess and causing more swelling and pain. The bacteria can even infect the jaw bone or sinus cavities.
What Symptoms Do Tooth Infections Cause?
Toothache is the most common sign of an infection. This can be a persistent throbbing or shooting pain that ranges from painful to unbearable. Your mouth may have a bitter taste and your breath is likely to smell bad. There may be pus draining from your gum line near the infected tooth. The lymph nodes in your neck can swell up as part of your body's immune response. You may find chewing uncomfortable or painful as your tooth becomes sensitive to pressure. Drinking hot or cold beverages may also trigger sensitivity in the infected tooth.
A fever and swelling in your face, mouth or jaw can be signs that the infection is getting rapidly worse. In that case, you need to seek immediate dental care. If it is after regular office hours and you can't find a dentist who will see you, go to the emergency room. The longer you wait, the more severe the infection will become. In cases of severe tooth abscess, the infection may travel to the brain, causing swelling of the brain tissue and resulting in death.
The immediate treatment for an infected tooth is usually a root canal. This procedure involves drilling into the tooth and removing the dead tissue and pus. The root canal (where the nerve and blood supply enter the tooth through its root) is thoroughly cleaned out. The empty space inside the tooth is filled and sealed. The hole created at the beginning of the procedure is filled with a metal amalgam or composite dental filling. Depending on the amount of decay present, the tooth may need to be restored with a crown instead of just a filling.
If the infection is not localized inside the pulp of the tooth, the dentist will prescribe an antibiotic to help get the infection under control and keep it from spreading. If infection returns or persists after a root canal, a more extensive procedure called an apicoectomy is performed. In this procedure, the tip of the tooth root is cut out and the opening is sealed. If this still doesn't resolve the problem, or if the damage to the tooth is too extensive to restore, the tooth may be extracted.
Can You Prevent Tooth Infections?
Tooth infections are usually preventable. Children can have their molars protected from dental decay that leads to abscessed teeth with a dental sealant. Eating a nutritious diet and practicing proper brushing and flossing to remove plaque reduce the chances of getting a tooth infection. Regular dental visits are also important. Your dental hygienist can clean tartar and plaque from areas you missed. In addition, cavities can be identified via x-ray and treated before they penetrate to the center of the tooth.

Over the weekend, there was the unseemly spectacle of Jared Kushner's sister, Nicole Meyer, hawking golden visas to connected Chinese investors if they would put $500,000 into one of the Kushners' real estate projects in Jersey City. Ms. Meyer made her pitch just hours after Mr. Trump signed a measure renewing the visa program.
As a real estate mogul himself, Mr. Trump was frustrated in his many efforts to break into China. In March, 38 trademarks for various Trump projects were granted preliminary approval after a decade of denials. The Trump Organization is being run by his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, in their father's absence.
On the very day Ivanka Trump and Mr. Kushner, her husband, flanked President Xi Jinping of China at a dinner at Mar-a-Lago last month, there was a surprise as tasty as the dry-aged steak on the menu: China approved her company's request to sell handbags, jewelry and spa services in China.
Then there was the favorable $4 billion proposed deal between the Kushner Companies and a Chinese insurance conglomerate tied to the family of a past Communist ruler, Deng Xiaoping. But after The New York Times published an article on the cozy deal and Democrats talked of filing an ethics complaint, the plan to jointly redevelop a Fifth Avenue skyscraper was called off. But the Kushners clearly haven't given up on other China business.
Since I began covering the corrupting influence of money on politics 30 years ago, profiteering by family members of the president has invited scandal. One of George H. W. Bush's sons, Neil Bush, was tied to Silverado, a collapsed savings and loan association. Tony Rodham tried his own visa gambit when his sister, Hillary Rodham Clinton, was secretary of state. Before my time as a reporter, the brothers of Presidents Nixon and Carter were involved in politically tainted financial schemes.
But the oligarchy emerging on Pennsylvania Avenue today is something not seen before. The president, Ivanka Trump and her husband are the three most powerful figures in the White House, and they still profit from companies with billions at stake in global real estate deals.
President Trump, his daughter and Mr. Kushner have all said that they have stepped away from their businesses. Ms. Trump has transferred her brand's assets into a trust overseen by her brother-in-law, Josh Kushner, and sister-in-law, Ms. Meyer. These businesses carry on without them and bear their very powerful names. Meanwhile, the legal arrangements to keep them at arm's length from those businesses remain opaque.
Various ethics lawyers charge that the Trumps are violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which forbids any "person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under the United States" from accepting "any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State" — unless Congress explicitly consents. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a progressive government watchdog organization, has filed a lawsuit asserting that the president is receiving illegal payments from foreign governments through his companies.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Eric Trump said, "There are lines that we would never cross, and that's mixing business with anything government." The president himself, after pledging to "drain the swamp" during the campaign, has done little on the ethics front other than cancel ethics training for White House personnel and threaten to defang the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
The White House should remember the scandal that shook China only a few years ago. Former Prime Minister Wen Jiabao was disgraced after a New York Times report showed how his family members accumulated more than $2.7 billion, including large investments in precious stones. (His wife was known as "the Diamond Queen.") Before Xi Jinping became president, Bloomberg News revealed that his relatives were worth more than $100 million.
China's response to disclosures about the Princelings was to block the Chinese websites of The Times and Bloomberg.
At the recent Shanghai event for the Kushners' New Jersey project, a reporter from The Washington Post was asked to leave. One of the organizers grabbed a reporter's notebook and backpack, according to The Post.
Part of why Donald Trump won is that voters had extreme fatigue about the Clinton family's ethical problems. His promise to end big-money corruption in Washington was taken seriously by his base. He could put his electoral future at risk by reneging on it.

Music at Othello Tower continues to draw fire
President Mustafa Akıncı and Greek Cypriot Leader Nicos Anastasiades are expected to attend a bi-communal concert which named "our music under the moonlight" at the recently renovated Othello Tower in Famagusta tonight as part of the confidence building measures. According to news on Cyprus Mail published in the South Cyprus,Anastasiades's attending an event in north has drawn fire from political arena in south.
House President in South Cyprus Yiannakis Omirou was one of those criticized Anastasiades. Omirou said "it would send the wrong impression that the holder of the highest office in the land would attend an event under the conditions of military occupation". Although he appreciates the contact with the Turkish Cypriots on all levels was required as part of the negotiations process, the presence of "the official Cypriot state in events in the occupied north is another thing".
The Greens also criticized Anastasiades. "Instead of Akıncı handing over the keys of the town to Anastasiades as per the resolutions of the UN Akıncı invites him as a host at the Othello Tower," the Greens said.
On the other hand The Citizens' Alliance asked Anastasiades whether he would remove the 'Republic's' flag from his car during his visit in the north.
They argue that even though they believe that confidence building measures can cultivate a positive climate, the solution of the Cyprus problem will not depend on such actions. "The president's visits in the north basically contribute to the upgrading of the breakaway regime," they said.

Metformin, an insulin-lowering agent, has been associated with decreased cancer risk in epidemiologic studies in diabetic patients. We performed a comprehensive literature search and meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies to assess the effect of metformin on cancer incidence and mortality in diabetic patients, using Pubmed, ISI Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane library until May 2009, with no language or time restrictions. Independent reports with sufficient information to allow risk estimation of cancer risk/mortality and a measure of uncertainty were reviewed and cross-checked independently by three investigators. Eleven studies were selected for relevance in terms of intervention, population studied, independence, and reporting of cancer incidence or mortality data, reporting 4,042 cancer events and 529 cancer deaths. A 31% reduction in overall summary relative risk (0.69; 95% confidence interval, 0.61-0.79) was found in subjects taking metformin compared with other antidiabetic drugs. The inverse association was significant for pancreatic and hepatocellular cancer, and nonsignificant for colon, breast, and prostate cancer. A trend to a dose-response relationship was noted. Metformin is associated with a decreased risk of cancer incidence compared with other treatments among diabetic patients. Given the retrospective nature of most studies and the possibility that the control treatments increase risk, phase II trials are needed before large cancer prevention trials are launched.

Dockers Charge At Hawks

The Fremantle Dockers "out-hawked" the Hawthorn Hawks at Optus Stadium in a game that signaled the turning fortunes of the two teams. The young Dockers played a traditional Hawthorn game plan, hard at the contest when the ball was in dispute but controlling the tempo of the game when they had the ball in hand. The Dockers were patient in setting their attacks and used their plan of retaining possession and moving the ball across the ground, until an avenue of attack opened. It was a dour struggle between the backlines as the defenses for both teams held firm for most of the game. The difference between the two teams was the tenacity of the young Dockers' attack on the ball supported by their ferocious tackling.
Hot Dockers Shock Pies

The Collingwood Magpies were surprised by the Fremantle Dockers with a shock defeat at Optus Stadium. The Dockers were harder at the ball and used pace to outrun their more experienced opponents, and recorded their first genuine home victory in this unusual season. A first quarter where a team failed to score would normally have a coach ranting, but Justin Longmuir was impressed with how his young players handled their higher profile opponents. What the young Dockers lacked in skill was compensated with by endeavor. They were first to the ball and won more than their share of contested possessions. A team of hungry committed players will often defeat a better credentialled team, and the Dockers showed that if a team can get enough players to the ball, the chances of winning are increased. A bit of straight kicking also helps.

Brian Close Boots First Goal
Optus Stadium was the location for champagne football on a fine Sunday afternoon and the next day became the venue for a rain-sogged slugfest. This Monday night's (Perth time) game saw the Geelong Cats finish convincing winners by booting six goals against the undermanned Fremantle Dockers. It was a rain-soaked game where the team with the highest number of fit and mature bodies would win. The Dockers fielded a team without a recognized tall defender and their dual Brownlow Medalist captain Nat Fyfe was one of eleven Dockers on their extensive injury list. The Cats had an injury list nearly as long, which included Gary Ablett, Joel Selwood, and Rhys Stanley. It wasn't the number of non-injured players that won the Cats the game; it was the physical maturity of the players fielded, which gave them the winning advantage.

MOSCOW — National security adviser John Bolton is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, the Kremlin spokesman said, in a prelude to a long-anticipated summit with President Trump that now looks increasingly likely.
Bolton is in Moscow ahead of an expected meeting between Putin and Trump in mid-July. Bolton is also meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Kremlin foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"The president will receive Bolton at the Kremlin," Peskov told reporters. "Such a meeting will happen today."
There had been some speculation about whether the meeting would take place. Before he joined the White House in April, Bolton had made a number of critical comments about Russia, calling its interference in U.S. elections an "act of war" and suggesting that Putin had lied in the past.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last week that Trump and Putin will likely meet "in the not too distant future" following Bolton's visit to Moscow. Russian officials have sought such a meeting for months and have blamed U.S. domestic politics for the difficulty in making it happen. Trump himself has also pushed for a meeting with Putin despite resistance from senior political aides and diplomats.
The Trump-Putin summit would be the first meeting of the two presidents not taking place on the sidelines of a broader international gathering. It would garner intense scrutiny because of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's investigation into possible collusion between Moscow and Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. And it could overshadow the July summit meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, raising fresh questions about Trump's commitment to America's traditional alliances.
The Trump-Putin meeting is expected to take place while Trump is in Europe in mid-July. He is scheduled to attend the NATO summit meeting July 11 and 12 in Brussels and to visit Britain on July 13. Peskov declined to comment on news reports that a Trump-Putin meeting could take place in Vienna or Helsinki.
"We cannot boast about a wealth of bilateral contacts in our bilateral relationship," Peskov said, describing the purpose of Wednesday's meetings with Bolton. "Such contacts are used to exchange views on the main problems in international affairs — they are rather clear and obvious — and to discuss the sad state of our bilateral relationship."
Bolton is scheduled to hold a news conference in Moscow early Wednesday afternoon Washington time. Trump administration officials say that despite disagreements with Russia, there are areas such as counterterrorism where Washington and Moscow can find common ground.
Pompeo told MSNBC host Hugh Hewitt last week that the United States is working "to find places where we have overlapping interests but protecting American interests where we do not."
"The president's been unambiguous since he took office that there are places where Russia is working against the United States but many places where we work together," he said.
