Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 93 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by dcsweet16 Love it for traveling I love this pant suit to fly on the plane. Very comfotable February 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by mabstl the product is gorgeous The product is perfect for carry on travel. Beautiful color but sadly and i mean SADLY I have to return it. I am a petite 5'2" 120 lb and I suppose I would need it in a extra small. It is just too big or me. I love it, but I am too small for it. This is a beautiful product. Mary Ann January 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Usafiri Great Buy The color, fit, style and fabric are great. the color is rich, and fabric feels nice to the touch. December 29, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sobercamel Good color and material Loved the whole set, but the pants were way too big, and it would be difficult to take them in. The tank and jacket fit perfectly. However, I will return them because I can't wear the pants. So, sad. December 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by samintx Nice Red I like the weight of this crepe. Wearable for many seasons. I'm 5-4 134# and the Med fits perfectly. I like the 3/4 or full sleeve. I think I'll tack up the cuffs because I like the 3/4 look. I was hesitant to order because it was RED but one reviewer said a nice Brick Red. Not an orangey red but a deep red. Nice. Non wrinkle but not something I would wear on a plane. Travel suit yes for dinner. December 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by nefer WHY DID I WAIT? I HESITATED BUYING ANOTHER TRAVEL SUIT BUT THIS IS THE BEST ONE EVER. THE FIT IS PERFECT, MATERIAL DOES NOT STRETCH OUT OF SHAPE OR WRINKLE WHEN PACKED OR AFTER SITTING. I BOUGHT THE RED AND LOVE IT. I WILL BUY OTHER COLORS IF THEY COME AVAILABLE. November 17, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by flitcraft Sizing is an issue, but great value I earlier purchased this set in the warm taupe, and had been tempted by the red, but the photo made it look too cool for my coloring. Well, I finally bit the bullet and got the red. And, the reviewers are right and the photo is not--it's clearly a warm, brickish red. The texture of the fabric adds interest to what might otherwise be just another shell. Again, the sizing seems off on this set. I got it in petite medium, and the pants are at least three inches too long for me. Also, the sleeves are also way too long, but I solved that myself by simply turning up the vented cuffs and tack-stitching them to the sleeves all the way around--saved myself the time and expense of a trip to the tailors! I'm a little too conservative to wear brick red pants to work, but I'll probably wear them for travel. Hope this set is brought back with more colors and a more consistent sizing--it's a winner. October 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Adelita Excellent value! Beautiful outfit, will wear it next week, I am going on a cruise. I will purchase a set in another color to mix and match. September 17, 2015

Co$$ collaborated with a beat maker, Numonics and released a free download album "Revelations." Co$$'s debut album, "Before I Awoke" is slated to be released in February /March next year on Tres Records.
Troy "Co$$" Johnson was born on the South Westside of Los Angeles in a small community east of Crenshaw called "Leimert Park" one of the United State's top spots for Jazz and home to many of LA's finest hip hop artists. He started rapping at the age of 14.
Troy's father died when he was 15, possibly the most pivotal time in his life. While still having a religious foundation academically, he began hanging out in the street, making affiliations with gangs and gang members, helping give him a balance perspective wise. It's the reason Co$$ is both conscious AND STREET, bad and good, yin and yang. The movement is truly and sincerely universal. He truly does it for the thugs and nerds alike, scholars and elementary school drop outs. He wants to show that the West coast has a lot to offer as far as diversity and innovation is concerned, it's definitely not all khakis and tailors, although he proudly represents the khakis and tailors aspect. Most importantly, Co$$'s goal is to humanize the common day MC, to remind people that rappers are just regular people with regular people problems. For every record he puts out, he wants people to evolve with him, to share in the experience of existence. Co$$ is Ca$hUSKing and Ca$hUSKing is evolution.

Additional Information
About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Skip to comments.How we got into this mess
Posted on 03/01/2009 10:30:02 AM PST by dangus
As destructive as socialism is, it would be powerless without pragmatic conservatives.
Socialism, like such explosions, is destructive in our society. Voters don't like destruction of our society, our wealth, or our institutions. So why do socialists keep winning elections? Because pragmatic conservatives, like President Bush and the Hastert/McConnell-era Republican Congress, witness socialists playing with dangerous reactants and try to make them safe. In doing so, they create bombs.
CDOs proved to be the ultimate bomb. Here's how they were created: Democrats were frustrated that banks didn't grant as many loans to black people as they did to white people. The banks weren't being racist though. Even though a more elite portion of blacks than whites were being granted mortgages, they were still at least as likely to default on a loan. As we're now seeing, banks actually do lose money on loan defaults. So it was not in the bank's self interest to lower loan criteria to blacks. In fact, it would be unjust and economically harmful to make loans to less qualifying people, and make up for that increased risk by raising interest rates on qualified people.
Some Democrats suggested forcing the banks to make loans. Of course, that would have immediately proved destructive when blacks started defaulting on the loans. The voters, the bank lobbyists, whoever it may be, someone would have forced that decision to be reversed. Maybe even the courts might have; nothing undermines affirmative-action-like remedies better than cold hard proof that they don't work.
Instead, the Republican party worked out a compromise. The ugly, brute force of governmental power wouldn't force banks to make loans; government would just motivate banks by allowing them to create abstract objects called CDOs which would allow banks to pass risk along to other entities at higher interest rates. Of course, flooding the housing market with new buyers caused prices to boom. When housing prices were escalating, CDOs seemed as safe as any other type of debt; even if the home-owner defaulted, the bank got a property which had gone up in value!
In a freer market, as banking policies made mortgages easier to get, housing construction would have grown, stirring the economy. But zoning and environmental policies limited the real estate available for new housing. Instead, prices went up. Construction did increase, but with government-mandated population growth (20 million immigrants), growth in demand outstripped growth in supply. Perversely, the increased debt caused by housing inflation made the GDP appear to grow, because the government price indexes dramatically undercount the portion of income spent on housing.
Unemployment was historically low, but people complained about the economy because wages weren't keeping up with housing costs. The solution was more government action: the federal reserve artificially lowered interest rates. This didn't help supply problems, it just triggered staggeringly high home prices. With interest rates so low, people were willing to assume debt to buy their houses. If they didn't buy now, who knows what their housing costs would become?
It's easy to attack people now for buying homes they couldn't afford. But say you were a new worker in 1998. You didn't get a mortgage because that $1000 mortgage seemed like too great of an expense. You'd be smart, and save your money, while you rent for $450. Now, forward to 2005, and you're rent is $1500. Are you feeling very smart? But hey, guess what? Interest rates have come down so far that you can still get a $1500 Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM), even though the price of the house has tripled! Oh, happy day!
But then the government became concerned with escalating debt. The solution? Clamp down on CDOs? Repeal zoning ordinances? No, big government again! In the all-time biggest bonehead move in the history of America, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke simply doubled interest rates. Hey, that was a painful, but successful action in 1982, wasn't it? Somehow it escaped his attention that a lot of people were affording their mortgages by getting Adjustable Rate Mortgages, an economic risk which seemed reasonable since the market didn't seem likely to raise interest rates.
Now, that $1500 payment is $2500. Is this the fault of the home-buyer? Not really. Getting that ARM seemed reasonable because there was nothing happening in the economy which would suggest a sudden surge in interest rates. The surge that happened was not a free-market correction, but a sudden change in government policy.
BOOM! There's your explosion. Who gets blamed? The Republicans. But don't just dismiss the electorate as having suddenly turned liberal, or curse fate. When St. John Crysostom (the golden-mouthed) said the floor of hell was paved with the skulls of bishops, he was defending the Christian Church. He recognized that weak leadership from within is far deadlier than anything the enemy can do from without; by seizing and misusing authority, the culpability of such bishops was worse even pagans who slaughtered Christians in the arena.
Now, we can blame metaphorical pagans like people like President Obama, Senator Dodd and President Clinton. But where's that going to get us? Another RINO administration and a new set of time bombs? Don't make it about people; make it about principles and policies. Obama's socialist policies will blow up in his hands. When that happens, we want a real conservative, not another John McCain to share the blame.
email this to Michael Steele.
How? Because its true what my dad used to say - people are idiots.
This was a setup folks. Started with CRA's and mortgages started by lawyers like Obama who di it as a community organzier. Virus was placed in banks through fellow travelers working at Fannie & Freddie. Pelosi and Reid NO Energy Policy drives oil abd gas prices to $4+ a gallon.
Bear market raids by Soros, Flower and John Paulson leading up to october. Bush and Paulson panic etc etc. TV News and MSM newspaper media 100% behind Obama.
Obama keeps pushing panic to push socialism. I wonder if this is what really happened in 1929 and FDR.
The newspapers are dying but the TV news media will lead us to serfdom and Islamification. ACORN and their sister group SEIU will keep the Dems in power forever. The GOP has it's hopes on 2010 but ACORN may throw monkey wrenh into that plan.
We need to boycott and cancel cable and sat TV unless someone has another idea.
The tough part is when you boycott it all, your boycott becomes 100% ineffective. (Which is not to say that youre boycott wouldn't have personal benefits.) But if you punish the decent programming with the bad programming, they just decide you're unreachable and give up on you.
(IOW: The Amish never affected a programming decision.)
The problem: Is there any good TV?
We have a very hard time winning because the MSM set the agenda and formulate the rules of the debate. Obama is almost entirely a product of the MSM. The whole Acorn, sub-prime lending scandal is a product of the MSM setting the debate.
Visionary, principled Republicans are demonized and delegitimized by the MSM. Unless you have pulpit such as Rush does to defend yourself, Republicans have very little way to defend themselves against the MSM onslaught.
The MSM was taken over by so called "Progressives" long ago. If we are to win, we need to keep finding ways to work around them, convert them, or create alternative means of educating the public.
>> Your analysis misses an obvious point. The Republicans compromise on these things and are blamed for these things because that is the agenda of the MSM. <<\
No, I don't miss that point. But we can't control the media. We CAN control who we select to represent us in our primaries, and we can urgently and strongly denounce those fools among us who say, "Yes, but [the pragmatic guy] is more electable than [the ideologue]." We can Micheal Steele and George Will to shut the hell up and listen to Rush Limbaugh instead.
There is almost no good TV. It is a form of control and manipulation. Most Americans will stick with TV and let their kids be sold into serfdom because they cannot miss American Idol or a ball game.
If 30 million people cancelled cable/sat TV then we might get some unbiased TV news coverage. FOX is around 15%(?) owned by Saudis. They are the money behind getting O elected.
Yes, but [the pragmatic guy] is more electable than [the ideologue].
This part I agree with:
>> If we are to win, we need to keep finding ways to work around them, convert them, or create alternative means of educating the public. <<
But we have to realize that our elected officials are an important voice in educating the public. They represent us. And when Bob Dole, George Bush, John McCain and their ilk attack conservatism, we need to look for better leaders. It may be wise to vote for George Bush over John Kerry in the general, but it's fatal to vote for an Arlen Specter over a Brian Toomey in the primary.
Compassionate conservative = I'm a principled conservative until my "feelings" get involved.
Put them together and you have a liberal.
>> Yes, but [the pragmatic guy] is more electable than [the ideologue]. You have correctly identified the ratchet the MSM uses to drive us toward the left. <<
Not just the MSM. Do you remember some of the abject hatred and venom on FR, by the supporters of Arnold Schwartzenegger for McClintock supporters?
>> How? Because its true what my dad used to say - people are idiots. <<
I'm trying to address the causes we can do something about. :^)
I'm not trying to sell it to the average liberal. Conservatives outnumber liberals. My main focus is first on the conservative core, then on the on-again-off-again conservatives.
It is a form of control and manipulation.
Why is it that we can't control the media? The liberals do. Is there something fundamental that lets liberals control the media but prevents conservatives from doing so?
Of course not. Liberals control much of the media because they own or control a large potion of the media outlets. Were they given this ownership/control? No, they put their money where their mouths are and they bought it. Liberals are willing to invest in a propaganda machine that gets their message across even if they are not the best monetary investments. The "pragmatic" conservatives look for the best monetary return on their investment and will not take less to advance their political beliefs.
The liberals control the MSM fair and square, they were not given control by the government nor did they steal it from conservatives.
As long as conservatives believe their "pragmatism" is more important than their ideology, they should quit whining about the MSM and liberal control of the media.
We've seen big government statists in the guise of:
Compassionate conservatives.
Pragmatic conservatives.
Moderate conservatives.
Centrist conservatives.
Maverick conservatives.
Wouldn't it be nice to just see a...conservative, minus the need to qualify it?
Already done years ago. Man the lifeboats.
Sorry, but that's not what happened. True, some of the early legislative meddling in increasing mortgage availability to minorities set the stage for the subsequent banking collape, but it wasn't subprimes to blacks - there just weren't enough of them to make it happen.
". . . but with government-mandated population growth (20 million immigrants), growth in demand outstripped growth in supply.
Aha! - Here is where the author gets it right, except for the number, which is really closer to 30-40 million illegals in the USA, which will be validated after amnesty when the applications come in.
It was not until there was a huge demand for housing these tens of millions of illegal aliens starting after 2001, that the subprime lenders could find enough customers (suckers) to let the subprime market grow out of sight, and allow a huge Ponzi base to support the derivataive phony financial paper that leveraged the already out of control subprimes to the trillions of CDOs and Mortgage-based bonds that were guaranteed to go into default.
The real story is how well the media, RINOs, and Democrats have covered up that prime causation of today's meltdown because they did not want to jeopardize their open borders agenda.
The liberals don't CONTROL the media; the liberals ARE the media.
I think conservatives have focused too long on control; we have to focus on the arts; we have to develop ways of expressing conservatism and our values beyond pleading for a fair shot at air time. But every level of creative expression in America hates conservatives.
(This may have partly to do with funding; liberals only bought avant-garde because they reject the classics!)

I'll be sure to tell the author that. My wife looks at me wierd when I talk to him. ;^)
Unfortunately, crisis also ratchet us toward more powerful governments. GWB actually was working toward reducing the size and reach of the State when 911 hit.

So it's OK to sell out your principles when a crisis hits? A crisis reveals character. When the economic crisis hit, Bush was exposed to being only slightly to the right of Hugo Chavez. All that other stuff that streamed from his mouth was just enough to keep the conservatives electing him. After 2006, he had no more use for us at all.
Useful idiots. A phrase once used for communist sympathizers, but I feel like a useful idiot for having voted for Bush.

(Well, no, I wasn't going to vote for Gore, Kerry or McCain... but I sure would've been much grumpier about my options if I had known Bush's true character.)
I don't the early emphasis on blacks in your vanity. If you honestly believe that we're in the this mess because of the extremely small number of loans made to black people, I have a bridge to sell you.
The apolitical outnumber both combined.
There it is in a nutshell.
Conservatism has been almost redefined out of existence.
I have even seen some people on this forum who believe in a "new" conservatism, which to me, means nothing but appeasing the enemy.
Some people are labeled as too conservative-like that's a bad thing.
I had serious private fears about bush. I knew who is daddy was. But, what choice did we have? And then he became a hero after 9-11.
The risk was effectively transferred to the taxpayers two ways. First Fannie and Freddie had nationalized their risks, so when they inevitably failed taxpayers would be on the hook. Second, the big banks and companies like AIG that had made or underwritten the bets on the market in either direction would be deemed to big to fail and would be bailed out. It was all perfectly inevitable except when some civic-minded republicans and a handful of progressive democrats voted against the bailout.
Raising rates is inevitable, the central bank can't do much about that except inflate or allow debt to build up to force default. So Greenspan raised rates, too much and too late. Now Bernanke is frantically lowering them too much and too late. Low rates now cause more problems than they solve. It is ridiculous for anyone to loan at low rates to an American with an overpriced house and dimming job prospects. Rates should be about 10-15% depending on the borrower, anything less is artificial and only contributing to the problem.
European finance melted down October 5th when Germany threw in the towel and went financially protectionist. That spread here the next day. Whether these other bit players had anything to do with that timing is kind of irrelevant. Their money is small potatoes compared to the trillions owed by insolvent players like Eastern Europeans.
The bottom line is the whole credit charade was doomed. The most the people you mention could have done is affect the timing a little. Had the timing been different, we would now have an ineffective, although not malicious, President McCain. The financial meltdown would be just as real and deep, but at least McCain might have spared the job creators a bit.
We got into this by not standing up for Conservative principles.
Decades of politically correct pacifism and giving in to the socialists has caused this.
It stops now.
First don't call them liberals or progressive.
They are socialists. Call them socialists.
They hate it because it is true.
You have correctly identified the ratchet the MSM uses to drive us toward the left.
One word
The media changed radically between 1930 and 1960, when it was most under government control. This was the same period when government funded universities most taught journalist schools that promoted journalism as an activist career rather than a job.
Thomas Sowell recently wrote mentioned how influential media types were ostracising conservatives as early as the 1950's.
I'd love for someone to study how the MSM came to be completely dominated by "progressives" but I have not yet seen it. Perhaps it is a natural progression when all the MSM is based in urban centers.
"The media changed radically between 1930 and 1960, when it was most under government control. This was the same period when government funded universities most taught journalist schools that promoted journalism as an activist career rather than a job."
This is a subject that deserves serious study. Anybody know if any good books have been written about it?
If I understand what you are saying, your scenario doesn't seem to take into account the facts of the matter.
Are you saying that banks were somehow forced to make high-risk loans?
If so, why aren't all banks in trouble? I live in Colorado, where there is a tremendously high rate of default on mortgages, yet my bank (a local bank) is in excellent health, and my state have not had a single bank default. Add to that the fact that we've had an ever-growing illegal population for close to the last decade or so, which has been shown to directly feed the mortgage default rate, and you have a real puzzler on your hands.
ILLEGAL ALIENS & THE MORTGAGE MESS(^), Michelle Malkin, September 24, 2008, New York Post
Where the banks are failing(^)CNN
2008 Foreclosure Rates(^)CBSNews
If banks were unilaterally forced to make bad loans, why aren't they all failing? We actually checked to see the mortgage default rate at our own bank, and it is a tiny fraction of 1%, about as good as it gets.
So, some (in fact, probably most) banks did not dive head first into the shallow end of the mortgage pool, and are doing just fine, given the failure around them.
Why is that?

Sen. Ted Cruz took a break from quoting his favorite movie The Princess Bride on Wednesday to lift a line from another classic, The American President. Whether or not the Texas senator was aware, his retort to Donald Trump's recent attacks on his wife was almost identical to that of President Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas), who hits back against his prime political foe in defense of love interest Sydney Ellen Wade:
Ted Cruz literally lifted a line from The American President pic.twitter.com/BdG7Qcr4Ye
— Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) March 23, 2016
Cruz's cinematic defense of wife Heidi follows Trump's tweet Tuesday threatening to "spill the beans" on his wife since Cruz "used a picture of Melania from a GQ shoot in his ad." Cruz responded by pointing out that he had nothing to do with the ad, which was created by an anti-Trump super PAC, and tweeted that if Trump tries to attack his wife, he is "more of a coward than I thought." Becca Stanek
What Donald Trump's campaign likely thought was a brilliant plan to take down Hillary Clinton was quickly foiled Wednesday afternoon when a Trump spokeswoman did some errant emailing.
While Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks meant to respond to an email from Trump adviser Michael Caputo requesting that a researcher at the Republican National Committee "work up information on HRC/Whitewater as soon as possible" for "immediate use and for the afternoon talking points process," she ended up replying to Marc Caputo — a reporter at Politico. With the mistaken click of a button, the entire email thread — and, subsequently, the scoop on Trump's next plan of attack — was dropped into Politico's inbox.
RNC chief strategist Sean Spicer has defended the request for information on Whitewater — the Clinton scandal stemming from a failed real estate venture in the 1970s — as nothing more than "just another example of Republican campaigns up and down the ballot looking to us for the best information." Neither Spicer nor Hicks provided any further clues as to when or how Trump will be using that requested information, though it goes without saying his coming attack will involve the word "crooked."

Eleven states are represented in a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday against the Obama administration, challenging federal guidelines that require schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms that match their gender identity.
The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Wichita Falls, Texas, is in response to a directive released earlier in May by the Obama administration, which critics say oversteps the government's bounds. The lawsuit accused the administration of trying to turn schools and workplaces into "laboratories for a massive social experiment."
On Tuesday, the Justice Department and North Carolina filed competing lawsuits concerning a law in the state that bans transgender people from using bathrooms that don't correspond to the gender identified on their birth certificate. Jeva Lange
Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams insisted Wednesday that the city will be ready for whatever the Republican National Convention may bring, be it protesters or riots. "A lot has been said about whether or not Cleveland is prepared for the RNC in about 50 days here. I have to tell you, we are prepared. I can't stress enough that we are prepared for this," he said.
The city attorney, Richard Hovarth, also announced temporary regulations for the area around the convention, including a ban on bringing lumber, fireworks, explosives, drones, ice chests and coolers, or ladders into the vicinity. Guns, noticeably, were not explicitly banned, although Ohio is an open-carry state.
The city has also bid for sets of body armor, conversion vans to transport prisoners, 2,000 sets of riot gear, 10,000 sets of plastic handcuffs, night vision goggles, motorcycles, and a horse trailer.
While violence is no certainty, riotous protests did break out Tuesday in New Mexico at Trump's first campaign rally in two weeks, with people throwing plastic bottles, burning Trump T-shirts, and hurling rocks at the police. Some heading to Cleveland this July have gone so far as to take self-defense classes similar to those given to journalists before they go into war zones. Jeva Lange
Civilians awaiting rescue in Raqqa, the Islamic State's de facto capital, might not actually be that thrilled about their impending liberation. That's because, as CNN reports, given the choice between liberation by the predominantly Kurdish (and U.S.-backed) Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and rule under ISIS, Syrians in Raqqa may actually choose to "throw their lot" behind the terrorist group. As one tweet from the activist group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently put it, the "strategy of taking Raqqa by SDF ... [may] push a lot of people to join ISIS."
While the inhabitants of Raqqa may not quite be enjoying life since ISIS seized the city in 2013, ethnic tensions have Raqqa's Arabs leery of their potential liberators:
Backed by the United States, the Syrian Democratic Forces are a coalition of Kurdish, Assyrian, Christian, Arab tribal and other forces. But they are dominated by the Kurdish YPG, the Popular Defense Units. In other words, it's a Kurdish armed force with a multi-ethnic façade, and the Arabs of Raqqa could well be worried about their intentions in a post-ISIS Syria. [CNN]
The conundrum is one deeply rooted in history. The Kurds have long been suspected of trying to create a separate state from Syria and Iraq, CNN notes, which has Raqqa residents wary; when they see a predominantly Kurdish force coming to clear the countryside north of the city, the question arises of whether they're truly coming to rescue them, or just to take their land. Thus far, the SDF has promised its efforts are not aimed at the city itself.
Head over to CNN for the full back story on the current situation in Raqqa. Becca Stanek
The Obama family's tenure in the White House isn't quite over, but they're already planning their post-presidential digs. News broke Wednesday that the first family reportedly has plans to lease this 8,200-square-foot pad in the Washington D.C. neighborhood of Kalorama come January:
The Obamas have reportedly settled on this Kalorama house after they leave the White House. https://t.co/WsoB94jhMO pic.twitter.com/pKURUEBIp8
— Washingtonian (@washingtonian) May 25, 2016
The Obamas announced in March that they would be staying in D.C. after President Obama's second term ends to let their younger daughter, Sasha, finish high school.
The house — which is owned by NFL Executive Vice President of Communications Joe Lockhart and his wife, Giovanna Gray Lockhart, the Washington editor of Glamour — last sold in May 2014 for $5,295,000. It sits on about a quarter-acre of land and has nine bedrooms, eight-and-a-half bathrooms, and a spacious backyard.
If that one picture wasn't enough, head over to The Washingtonian to get a peek inside the house, too. Becca Stanek
The 2020 Republican primary schedule may look quite a bit different from this year's process if party leadership gets its way with rule changes at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this summer.
Following a chaotic nominating process and looking toward the possibility of the first contested convention in decades, the GOP is beginning to consider a substantial overhaul of the way it picks presidential candidates. In one proposal, Iowa and New Hampshire would retain their early voting status, but each would be paired with a rotating selection of other states from their region — Iowa with Minnesota in 2020, for example, and then with South Dakota in 2024.
Other suggestions are more radical, like abolishing these states' unique position altogether in favor of a fully rotating calendar of primaries which gives voters in all 50 states a chance to be early deciders every few years. One thing seems certain, though: Nevada will likely lose its early position on the primary calendar thanks to alleged "irregularity" and disorder at the state's 2016 caucuses. Bonnie Kristian
Weeks after rumors of his infidelity emerged in wife Beyoncé's new visual album Lemonade, Jay Z is finally putting in his two cents on the matter. The musician debuted his response Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium in the form of a newly released remix of Fat Joe and Remy's "All the Way Up." The song's first verse: "You know you made it when the fact your marriage made it is worth millions/Lemonade is a popular drink and it still is."
Prior to the song's release, Jay Z had stayed mum about his apparent infidelity, despite the onslaught of angry reactions from Beyoncé fans and the ruthless search for the identity of the rapper's mistress, whom Beyoncé refers to as "Becky with the good hair" in her track "Sorry". The couple has been married for eight years and allegedly went through a rough patch in 2014.
Jay Z is also rumored to be writing an entire album telling "his side" of Lemonade. For now, you can listen to his latest track on Tidal. Becca Stanek

Our house is settling, which I know is normal, but I am concerned about our hardwood floors. The house is about four years old and has a concrete foundation. We have noticed the cabinets pulling away a little from the wall and the counters pulling away too. We re caulked the areas and it is fine. My concern is the hardwood floors. Two of the boards have sperated and have bubbled up. Is that normal? I would love some answers! Thanks! GIna

- House settling?
What do you mean by "Two of the boards have sperated and have bubbled up"? And how much have the boards separated?
We have oak flooring and two of the boards have seperated about 1/16" and buckled. So basically the two boards that are seperated have a little hump to them now versus lying flat. The split goes from the cabinets to the center island, about 7-8 feet long. Thanks for replying!
Tho it happens a lot, house settling is not a nornmal situation ( I suppose that depends how you define normal) It is not normal or in my mind, acceptable, for cabinets to be pulling away from the wall. cabinets should be installed screwed to the wall and e3ven if the house moves around, that joint would be one of the last to open up. Something isn't right here.
Is there a beam or support post in the cellar/crawl-space where the crack is openning?
Is there a beam or support post in the cellar/crawl-space where the crack is openning?
Has any liquid been spilled on the floor? If water gets onto a hardwood floor it can penetrate the joints and become trapped under the flooring. The water will then soak into the unprotected underside of the flooring and cause it to swell. When this happens you will see the separation and buckling you have described.
Settlement could also cause this but this would mean the exterior walls have settled more than the piers under the house causing a girder to push on the underside of the floor.

"Noah Davis: Savage Wilds," at Seattle's James Harris Gallery, takes tabloid TV fodder — "The Jerry Springer Show" — and turns it, mysteriously, into the painterly equivalent of spare, elegant prose. Through Aug. 24, 2012.
In the six big oil paintings in his new show at James Harris Gallery, Noah Davis' eye is fiercely focused on the dynamics of the action at hand.
His subject: the brawls, breakdowns, lurid confessions and conflicts on "The Jerry Springer Show" and similarly trashy reality-TV fare.
Stance tells you everything, here. Details — strangely, beguilingly — are disposable as Davis, working from video stills, creates the equivalent of "spare prose" in paint. There are canny distortions of figures in his compositions, and subtle shadows and shadings in his color. But there's not a single unnecessary brush stroke.
Take "Jerry," a 60-inch-by-74-inch oil-on-canvas depicting high drama in the TV studio. In it, two women are having a knockdown fight. One, held back by a security guard, has lost her shoes. The other, tipping backward on the floor, looks like she's in for a crash landing.

Most Read Stories
Davis, a Seattle native now living in Los Angeles, captures the raucous energy of the scene. Yet he leaves the women's facial features entirely blank, as though the rage consuming them and the way that rage is being served up as tabloid entertainment have somehow combined to wipe out their personalities. (It seems worth noting that the security guard and a sound man, deftly steering clear of the mayhem, do have actual, if minimally sketched, facial detail.)
In a more mournful and harrowing way, "You Are … " is equally dramatic. Its central male figure is crouched over, clearly distressed, his head in his hands. Two imposing women stand nearby, pointing to their right and either encouraging or admonishing him. A quieter female figure behind him seems to be reserving judgment about him, while in the background two men seem indifferent to his troubles.
In "Crush on Daughter-in-Law," a different kind of tension unfolds. On the left: a middle-aged man, seated on a couch, who appears to be calmly explaining himself. On the right: a woman standing next to him, looking determinedly away from him.
The focus — and the most ambiguous part of the painting — is the man's hands, which are more elongated energetic streaks than naturalistically depicted palms, wrists and fingers. The composition is different from anything Francis Bacon ever did, but the sense Davis' blurred paint gives you of the turmoil at play in a figure who's deceptively self-possessed in appearance has a definite affinity with Bacon's approach to the human figure.
The other three paintings in the exhibit don't have as strong an impact. But as variations on a theme, they have their place here.
"Noah Davis: Savage Wilds" is a small show, but it's a memorable one.

Artificial Insemination in Kenya
Artificial Insemination in Kenya started with the establishment of the Central Artificial Insemination Station (CAIS) in 1946 for the production of semen. Countrywide delivery of AI services since 1966 through the Kenya National Artificial Insemination Services (KNAIS) has been a major contributor to the growth of dairy farming in, Kenya.
Some years ago, the semen distribution was reorganized and privatized. CATS now distribute semen through private agents. KNAIS has become a supervisory organization to oversee private inseminators and works closely with the District Veterinary Offices. CAIS continue to produce the semen and works with international companies like WWS, ABS, Semex and HighChem (E.A. Dairy). Holland Genetics imports and distributes semen via Cooper Kenya Ltd.
The policy of CAIS is to use cows bred from imported semen as bull mothers and take advantage from the genetic potential of imported semen for the selection of bulls for its own semen production.The Government of Kenya still maintains a few Al schemes in parts of the Rift Valley, Nyanza and Western Province.
The Kenya Artificial Insemination Services Department's vision is to be a world class referral centre for livestock breeding and training in Africa. It aims to provide an efficient, innovative and cost – effective livestock breeding and training services to the African livestock industry.
The department offers quality semen, both locally produced and imported. It also offers embryo transfer (ET) bulls, liquid nitrogen, all Artificial Insemination equipment, multi – ovulation embryo transfer (MOET) services, Artificial Insemination and Business skills certificate course, crop and livestock production refresher course, short courses in animal nutrition, feeds and feeding management and land utilisation and crop protection.

Serious lack of communicating the new attributes of the 2011 model.
I understand the strategy but I don't think this hit home with the primary Jeep GC audience.
I'm not seeing any opulence married with any all terrain capabilities.
I'm not really feeling the fact that the vehicle reminds me of something... I don't know what it reminds me of? Not sure what benefit it is too consumers to see a portrait of some random woman in a black and white photo. I don't see nothing 'terrain' about this ad? If you are introducing this as an all terrain vehicle, then please show some terrain somewhere, at least in the background. Not feeling this one Vida=(

Rihanna Cuts Dallas Show Short Due to Stage Fire: Video
Rihanna, currently on her Loud tour, abruptly ended her concert in Dallas on Friday night (July 8) after a fire broke out right above the stage at the American Airlines Center. The show began without any problems until a light above the R&B singer caught on fire, NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reports.
Rihanna, who was dressed in a yellow gown with a bejeweled neckline, quickly exited the stage and by this point, the light was completely on fire, the report says. Those who were near the front of the stage quickly moved away from the stage toward the exits.

The fire, which CBS Dallas-Fort Worth reports may have been started from pyrotechnics that were a part of the elaborate concert, was eventually put out. Dallas Fire Rescue Captain Johnny Bates told the CBS affilate that a chair caught on fire. "One of our engine crews did enter the building but crew members with the AAC or concert put out the initial fire," he explained. "Everything is under control and there are no injuries."
Rihanna took to Twitter to address the accident: "DALLAS!!! We set the stage on FYAH tonight!!! LITERALLY!!! I'm so pissed, I was havin so much fun wit yall too!!! I gotta come back man!!" She also tweeted that she was "heading into a production meeting to find out exactly what happened" during the Dallas show.

Every time I've thought about ditching the landline and consolidating my rather minimal phone usage I've gotten so confused I've ended up with analysis paralysis and a headache. My current cell phone plan is an ancient 300 minutes/month I've shared with my Mom since about 2002; she wants a phone for emergency use and we've only exceeded the 300 minutes about twice. No texting or other options on this line beyond caller id and voice mail. I've got an old Nokia "candybar" shaped phone that regularly gets reception in areas where friends smartphones don't. Mom's phone could stand to be upgraded too. The current contract with Verizon is up this fall.
My home phone needs are pretty basic, and I don't make many long distance/conference/411 calls. I want to get rid of this line.
I pay about $110/month for these services now, and I'm sure I can do better. Looking at my choices it seems like I can either:
1) upgrade with Verizon and get a better phone and plan
2) let the contract expire and switch to a contractless service like Cricket - anyone use them?
3) switch to Credo, get a newer phone from them and let them buyout my current contract. They use Sprint for service, and the service looks like it won't be as good as the service provided by Verizon. But I would prefer to support a company supports progressive causes like they do.
What are the rest of you doing for phone service, and what kind of advice does foo have to offer besides HTFU?

Safina/panz...Congo (Dem. Rep.)ClothingFunding via Programme d'Appui aux Initiatives de Développement Economique au Kivu (PAIDEK)
Mama Inuka Group
Zihalirwa sells shoes. She sets up her merchandise at her town's central market. She is taking a loan from Hekima to increase her business, and is planning to buy 90 pairs of shoes. Her husband is also involved in retail.
In the future, she would like to buy a piece of land and be able to feed, clothe and educate her children. She thanks Hekima for focusing its support on women entrepreneurs excluded from the traditional banking system, and for granting them loans without any material collateral (particularly during this post-conflict period in the eastern part of the country). It should be noted that one of the borrowers in the photo is carrying her baby.
Additional Information
Important InformationHEKIMA is a microfinance institution headquartered in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), with branch offices in Goma and Bukavu. HEKIMA aims to contribute to the transformation of the economic, social, and spiritual lives of the economically active poor of the DRC. To this end, HEKIMA provides its clients with solidarity group loans to support income-generating activities. Despite ongoing instability and violence in its operating areas, HEKIMA continues to keep its doors open and provide credit and savings services for its over 90% female clientele.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Alix Maria
Update on Alix MariaAlix is thankful for the previous loan and support she received for her business of making handbags of synthetic materials. With that loan she was able to buy raw materials to make women's wallets and handbags. Alix says that she has earned more income since her previous Kiva loan because of the working capital it provided for her business. She says that thanks to Kiva, today her business is stronger economically, and that she is happy to be able to count on an ally for her financing.
Alix is now requesting a new loan to buy a sewing machine so that she can do finer finishing along borders and seams, as well as to buy leather, imitation leather and plastics. She will also buy other raw materials to make new products.
Alix ha generado más ingresos, desde que recibió su credikiva, por efecto del capital de trabajo que con este financiamiento aplicó a su negocio. Ella dice "Que Gracias a Kiva, su negocio hoy en día, esta mas fortalecido económicamente y que está satisfecha, porque cuenta con un aliado para sus préstamos".
Actualmente ella está aplicando a un nuevo financiamiento, mediante el cual comprará una máquina de coser, ideal para dar un mejor acabado en los bordes, a las costura en cuero, cuerina y plásticos y también invertirá en estos materiales de consumo, para hacer nuevos productos.
Previous Loan DetailsAlix is 37 years old. She makes a living through the production of women's purses and linen items in general in a workshop situated in her own home.

Additional Information
About Fundación Mario Santo DomingoFundación Mario Santo Domingo (FMSD) is a non-profit organization in northern Colombia dedicated to developing programs for the country's poorest communities. In addition to numerous social services, FMSD runs a microfinance program to strengthen micro-businesses in the areas where it works. The organization also offers several non-financial components as part of this program, including training to help entrepreneurs start their own businesses.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Beauty but not as many brains
By B Byrd
from Phoenix, AZ
Comments about Frigidaire 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Microwave - Stainless Steel:
This was to replace a white countertop model when updating my kitchen. Although it looks beautiful, the functions are pretty basic. The main annoyance is the beep that continues to alert you until you open the door or hit cancel. Also I did a self install and the exhaust fan was set to blow inside the house. I choose NOT to use the exhaust because it doesn't remove any odors, etc, it just moves them around my kitchen. There is the option to change that however it will require me to uninstall and re-install. The countertop model I had was far superior, it just didn't match and took up counter space.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Looks great, nice power, installation directions are challenging but blends well with the Gallery line of our other products.
decent microwave for the price
By ks04
from AZ
This microwave serves our needs to getting the job done but the loud beeping sound that goes off when your food/drink is ready is very annoying. You have to physically hit the stop/cancel button to make the beeping sound stop; you just can't open the door. The vent is also making a very weird sound when you use either the hi or low speed. So, I'll be calling the service dept. out to look at it.

This microwave must be powered by an old Atari microprocessor. You can only do one thing at a time. For instance, can't cook and use the timer at the same time.

Puffiness Under Eyes – Is It Temporary or Long-Term Ghastly Nightmare?
You do not need to take puffiness under eyes for granted. If you awaken each morning to this look, you can do something about it. The first movement in this battle against puffiness under eyes is the knowledge of what might cause it. There are several possibilities. One is stress. When the body is under stress, it will not work normally. Another cause is sleep problems. If you do not sleep enough or sleep too much, you may see puffiness under eyes. If you drink too much or eat too much salt, you may see that puffiness under eyes the next morning. Crying is another culprit. All of this leads to increased swelling around the eyes.
These reasons show that puffiness under eyes can be a temporary thing or something you deal with all the time. If it is temporary, you can use cold compresses to bring down the puffiness under eyes. You will find a good night's sleep is another way to get good relief for a temporary situation. An eye tapping helps as well. But, if you are dealing with puffiness under eyes every day, then you need to look at the bigger picture. Most puffiness under eyes comes directly from excess fluid retention. Fluid retention is a natural byproduct of excess salt intake or excess alcohol intake. When you combine the two, the results are ghastly.
To deal with the long-term puffiness under eyes, you need to make changes to your life style. That means drinking less alcohol. It means lowering the amount of salt in your diet. It means eating a balanced diet. It means drinking water in the right quantities. All of this will help alleviate the puffiness under eyes for the long term. You may also need to investigate eye creams specially formulated to deal with puffiness under eyes. There are dozens on the market that will help this problem within a few applications. Finding the right one is the challenge.
If you have puffiness under eyes, do not lose hope. Some people see dramatic results from a single treatment. For others it may take multiple treatments to have long-term results against puffiness under eyes. Using a treatment consistently for a period of several weeks should show dramatic results for most people dealing with puffiness under eyes. If you do not take action now, you will have the same puffiness under eyes you have now in a few weeks. Taking action means something will happen in the mean time.

Car starts every time, but it makes a rather shrill screeching noise. And it has been turning several times before starting up recently, although when I bought it a few months ago it started up on the 2nd or 3rd turn. Do I need a new starter, or is something maybe just loose? Could it be somehow connected to me having an old battery? Is a starter replacement something a moderately determined do-it-yourselfer can do without buying (another) garage full of equipment? And, if I keep using the starter that's in it as it is until it simply won't start anymore, what other damage am I risking?

Poor free-throw shooting down the stretch hurt the Hawks in their bid to knock off first-place Mark Morris.
Hockinson played the Monarchs tight the whole game and had two opportunties to get within two points of the lead in the fourth quarter. But on both opportunities, the Hawks went 0 for 4 from the free throw line.
Mark Morris then made a couple of baskets to widen its lead and force Hockinson to foul.
Mark Morris went 9 for 11 on free throws in the fourth quarter, while Hockinson was 2 for 6.
"It was the most physical game that I've been part of while coaching at Hockinson," Hockinson coach Matt Gruhler said. "The refs were calling it like a playoff game and letting a lot of things go. It was a great game, with a great crowd. I just wish things had gone better for us down the stretch."
Doug Macdonald had eight points, eight rebounds and three assists, and Spencer Klug had nine points and four steals.
Gruhler commended Macdonald and Klug with a strong defensive effort of Mark Morris' Rem Bakamus.
"Bakamus hurt us in our last game against them, hitting a bunch of big 3-pointers," Gruhler said. "But tonight, we held him to no field goals and seven free throws."
While the league title may be out of reach for Hockinson (7-10, 4-2 2A GSHL), the Hawks could clinch second place with a win over Washougal next Friday.
MARK MORRIS — Rem Bakamus 7, Tapani 0, Tilton 4, Brill 16, White 7, Johnson 0, Kiser 0, Hahn 0, Littlefield 10. Totals 14 (2) 14-22 44.
HOCKINSON — Beau Sparks , Everett Klodt 0, Abe Weiss 4, Wyatt Yearout 2, Doug Macdonald 8, Taylor Rennaker , Spencer Klug 9, Cole Kirkpatrick 6, Justin Schauer 2, Alan Haagen , Jess Krahn 2, Hayden Hall. Totals 14 (3) 2-8 33.
Mark Morris 6 9 10 19–44
Hockinson 4 12 6 11–33
JV — Mark Morris won; C — Hockinson won.
