Diamonds With A Story: New Designer Collections from Dawes Design, Sandy Leong, Suzanne Kalan, and Matthew Campbell Laurenza
While I was in New York City recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Diamonds With A Story Press Preview. The origin of jewelry–where it comes from–is always a theme I am interested in, so I jumped at the chance to get to know the story behind Diamonds With A Story.
Diamonds can be polarizing. People love them, or they deeply distrust them. Where did this diamond come from? How do I know that no one was harmed in the mining and distribution of this gemstone? What about the environmental impact of mining in the communities they come from? These are just a few of the questions I get asked when people find out I am a jewelry/gemstone expert. These are also issues I care about deeply. It turns out that others in the jewelry industry care about this, too.
Rio Tinto, the mining company behind the Diamonds With A Story initiative, has a controlling interest in four diamond mines around the world. The diamonds for Diamonds With A Story come specifically from the Argyle Diamond Mine in Australia. Diamonds from Argyle have a completely transparent path: environmental and human rights requirements are strictly adhered to, with workers paid competitively and given generous benefits. Argyle also produces some truly incredible diamonds of natural colors, ranging from pale silver and very light golden brown, to intense cognacs and sherries, to pretty pinks and lavenders.
Diamonds With A Story commissioned four designers to craft special capsule collections around the themes of Cutting Impact, Color My World, Shaped By Origin, and Mixed Medium. Each collection expresses the designer's aesthetic, but using diamonds that are "not your Mother's diamonds" (unless you Mom is utterly cool), and allows for beautiful–and surprisingly affordable–self expression.
Dawes Design, Cutting Impact
I love Jennifer Dawes of Dawes Design. She shines so brightly in her jewelry design, and has maintained a focus on sustainable jewelry since 2005–well before most people were remotely talking about "responsible sourcing" for jewelry. If Jennifer Dawes believes in DWAS enough to craft an entire collection around their diamonds, that is a huge testimony. This designer does her due diligence.
I had so much fun trying on her jewelry! Jennifer already designs jewelry that is modern and fresh, with a slightly organic bent. For this project she was able to fully explore, through interesting shapes and truly lovely colors, the spectrum of diamonds from the Argyle mine. Her theme was Cutting Impact–how and where these diamonds are cut.
The fact that the diamonds are certified from the mine was attractive to Jennifer, and–for the first time–she could actually trace the path of the rose-cut diamonds that she used throughout the collection. Normally the trail of a diamond's journey, even from a responsible source, goes cold once it hits the cutting facilities scattered around the world. In this case, the diamonds have a completely transparent path from the mine, to cutting in India, to her studio in California. All of the gold she uses in the DWAS collection is recycled or Fairmined gold. How's that for a wonderful story? From beginning to end, it is sparkling translucence.
Suzanne Kalan, Color My World
It was a delight to speak to Suzanne Kalan, an award-winning industry superstar who has designed wearable, completely exceptional jewelry for nearly 25 years. Their business is a family affair in Los Angeles, with daughter Patile designing the KALAN 14kt gold line, and Suzanne designing her namesake 18kt gold jewelry. The Kalan's DWAS collection was very well-developed, with designs I loved ranging from around $600 retail to several thousand dollars.
Color My World focuses on the gorgeous spectrum of natural colors that come from the Argyle mine. From yellow to grey to brown to pinkish, all set into rose gold, the Kalans perfectly complemented the warm hues of the diamonds they selected. The rings, earrings and pendants were fun, modern designs that captured the nuances of the subtle colors of the diamonds. They felt special, but very wearable.
Their inspiration board was especially captivating: images of spectacular embellishment and bright bursts of sparkle on clothing, shoes, interiors, even fireworks! Suzanne explained that once she found her initial concept, she was off and running with ideas. There is literally no stopping her once the ideas have started! I could feel that energy in the jewelry. I didn't want to take it off…
Sandy Leong, Shaped By Origin
This was my first time meeting fine jewelry designer Sandy Leong. Her collection had a very cohesive look, built around the theme of Shaped By Origin.
All of the diamonds, being from the Argyle Diamond Mine, share the benefit of pinpointing their exact source. Sandy used these diamonds with a provenance, from slightly polished diamonds set as beads, articulated in a ring ($550 retail in 18kt gold), to round brilliant diamonds set into her sinuous "Rain" collection cuffs, rings, earrings and necklaces. There was a weight and heft to the 18kt gold, with negative space to perfectly balance the mass. Sandy painstakingly carves all of the original wax models, which accounts for their sculptural feel. With the silky finish of the gold, and the feel of the curves, this was jewelry that felt wonderful to try on.
Matthew Campbell Lauranza, Mixed Medium
The very charming–and talented–Matthew Campbell Laurenza took me for a spin through his Mixed Medium collection. This category is meant to give jewelry designers some freedom to play with the materials used: traditional precious materials and approach need not apply. Matthew's inspiration for the collection was armor and weaponry, which I could see abstractly in points and shields that wrapped in various ways around the body.
Matthew's intention with this DWAS jewelry, which is priced very attractively due to the natural colored diamonds from Argyle's mine, is to foster collectors. Matthew believes that there are people who want to build jewelry collections, not just as an investment, but as an expression of personal style. He designed around this idea, so that you can play with initial pieces, and add more each season. Matthew will continually create more jewelry in this collection each season to stack, layer, and work with existing designs.
He had a particularly intriguing group of pendants, with different colored metals on the front versus back, and 15 varieties of custom-cut gemstones. Through an ingenuous mechanism, the pendants open and allow for interchanging gemstones. He even has an App coming out soon that will allow you to take an image, upload it, and apply that image through an enameling process directly into a gemstone. It's the ultimate form of personalization, capturing a moment in time that can be layered and combined with other elements into something uniquely–and preciously–yours.
All of the collections had a story to tell. As Matthew said, "it's important to see the designer's hand in capsule collections, but this opens it up into a different aesthetic." The jewelry I saw at the Diamonds With A Story event allows people who are concerned about the origin of their jewelry to play, collect, build and expand their jewelry relatively affordably. I saw cohesive jewelry assortments that represent each designer's core aesthetic, but allowed some foray into inventiveness. Jewelry is intimate: you live in it, it becomes part of you. This jewelry could become part of your story.

Pendulum divination, also known as dowsing, is the means of answering questions and determining outcomes by using a pendulum. This has been performed for thousands of years by scientists, shamans, spiritual and cultural leaders, midwives, and everyday people as a way of gaining knowledge. Pendulum divination is a way of creating a deeper relationship with one's intuition, and allowing a person to gain new perspectives by unlocking the possibly inhibited feelings contained within their subconscious. It is a way of translating subconscious feelings and thoughts into a physical motion that can be read with both the physical eyes and interpreted by the mind's eye. It is a fun and relaxing way to get to know yourself and gain personal introspection. After you have learned and studied dowsing, you can perform pendulum divinations for friends as well, providing them with another way to gain insight into their own lives. Pendulum divination and dowsing should only be used for positive purposes, and never to promote negativity or harm. Dowsing should be performed with a mind free from the confines of skepticism, stress, or preconceived expectations. It is not fortune telling or predicting the future, rather, it is a means of relaying information contained within the subconscious or from the vibrational energy of the universe. Take advantage of this great opportunity and take your magickal journey to the next level by learning how to use pendulum dowsing for everyday divination. Enjoy!

Nov 15: Was out of town for the past few days so I haven't done a workout for a week! But I got through week 4 day 1. And I did fine, even ran the cool down because I saw my neighbors and didn't want to poop out in front of them.
The 3 minute segments were no problem, the 5 minute segments made me tired but weren't too much to do.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately and wanted to get the general idea written down. It's very rough.
One of the next major revolutions in technology will be brain machine interfaces. Specifically an interface with instant thought-access to things like spreadsheets and notepads.
Computers make humans much more productive by providing very rapid access to powerful data-storage and manipulation tools. Those are things our brains just aren't very good at.
But the keyboard, mouse, and screen are the current bottlenecks for accessing a computer's tools. A bottleneck that exists even for very fast typists and savvy computer users.
What if you could access a spreadsheet and manipulate data at the speed of thought?

340B Drug Pricing Program Ceiling Price and Manufacturer Civil Monetary Penalties Regulation, 14332-14334 [2017-05491]Download as PDF
[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 52 (Monday, March 20, 2017)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 14332-14334] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2017-05491] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 42 CFR Part 10 RIN 0906-AA89 340B Drug Pricing Program Ceiling Price and Manufacturer Civil Monetary Penalties Regulation AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS. ACTION: Interim final rule; further delay of effective date with comment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) administers section 340B of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA), which is referred to as the ``340B Drug Pricing Program'' or the ``340B Program.'' The January 5, 2017 final rule sets forth the calculation of the ceiling price and application of civil monetary penalties, and applies to all drug manufacturers that are required to make their drugs available to covered entities under the 340B Program. This interim final rule delays the effective date of the final rule published in the Federal Register (82 FR 1210, (January 5, 2017)) to May 22, 2017. Commenters are also invited to provide their views on whether a longer delay of the effective date to October 1, 2017, would be more appropriate. DATES: As of March 20, 2017, the effective date of the final rule published in the Federal Register (82 FR 1210, January 5, 2017) is further delayed to May 22, 2017. Comments on the delay of the effective date to May 22, 2017, as well as comments on alternatively delaying the effective date further to October 1, 2017, must be submitted on or before April 19, 2017. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by the Regulatory Information Number (RIN) 0906-AA89, by any of the following methods.

Background In September 2010, HHS published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) in the Federal Register, ``340B Drug Pricing Program Manufacturer Civil Monetary Penalties'' (75 FR 57230, (September 20, 2010)). HHS subsequently published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in June 2015 to implement civil monetary penalties (CMPs) for manufacturers who knowingly and intentionally charge a covered entity more than the ceiling price for a covered outpatient drug; to provide clarity on the requirement that manufacturers calculate the 340B ceiling price on a quarterly basis; and to establish the requirement that a manufacturer charge a $.01 (penny pricing policy) for drugs when the calculation equals zero (80 FR 34583, (June 17, 2015)). The public comment period closed in August 2015, and HRSA received approximately 35 comments. After review of the initial comments, HHS reopened the comment period (81 FR 22960, (April 19, 2016)) to invite additional comment on specific areas of the NPRM: 340B ceiling price calculations that result in a ceiling price that equals zero (penny pricing); the methodology that manufacturers utilize when estimating the ceiling price for a new covered outpatient drug; and the definition of the ``knowing and intentional'' standard to be applied when assessing a CMP on manufacturers who overcharge a covered entity. The comment period closed May 19, 2016, and HHS received approximately 70 additional comments. On January 5, 2017, HHS published a final rule in the Federal Register (82 FR 1210, (January 5, 2017)) and comments from both the NPRM and the reopening notice were considered in the development of the final rule. The provisions of that rule were to be effective March 6, 2017; however, HHS issued a subsequent final rule (82 FR 12508, (March 6, 2017)) delaying the effective date to March 21, 2017, in accordance with a January 20, 2017, memorandum from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled [[Page 14333]] ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review.'' \1\ In the January 2017 final rule, HHS recognized that the effective date fell in the middle of a quarter and that stakeholders needed time to adjust systems and update their policies and procedures. As such, HHS stated that it intended to enforce the requirements of the final rule at the start of the next quarter, which began April 1, 2017. However, after further consideration and to provide affected parties sufficient time to make needed changes to facilitate compliance, and because there are substantive questions raised, we intend to engage in longer rulemaking. In addition, HHS believes that it is important to ensure that this rulemaking--as well as the implementation of this rule--is coordinated with and takes into consideration overall 340B Program implementation. HHS has therefore decided to delay the effective date of the final rule to May 22, 2017, and is inviting comments on whether to delay that date further to October 1, 2017. As the effective date of the final rule has been moved to May 22, 2017, and may be further delayed, enforcement will be correspondingly delayed. HHS believes that the delay of the effective date is necessary to consider questions of fact, law, and policy raised in the rule, consistent with the ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review'' memorandum. In addition, HHS believes that the delay of the effective date is necessary to provide regulated entities sufficient time to implement the requirements of the rule. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See: https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/20/memorandum-heads-executive-departments-and-agencies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- II. Good Cause for Interim Final Rulemaking Under Section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.), a general notice of proposed rulemaking is not required when an agency, for good cause, finds that notice and public comment thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), HHS finds that good cause exists to waive normal rulemaking requirements for the immediate delay of the effective date to May 22, 2017. HHS believes that a notice-and-comment procedure, in this limited instance, is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest. In order to promote the public interest in fulfilling the ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review'' memorandum instruction to agencies to review substantial questions of fact, law, and policy in regulations not currently in effect, HHS feels that it is necessary to delay immediately the effective date of this rule. In addition, the January 20, 2017, Executive Order entitled, ``Minimizing the Economic Burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Pending Repeal,'' specifically instructs HHS and all other heads of executive offices to utilize all authority and discretion available to delay the implementation of certain provisions or requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.\2\ The January 2017 final rule is based on changes made to the 340B Program by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. It is impracticable to gather comments prior to the effective date of March 21, 2017. HHS continues to be concerned that the previously announced effective date for the January 2017 final rule does not allow for a sufficient amount of time to consider the regulatory burdens that may be posed by this issuance and does not provide regulated entities sufficient time to come into compliance with the requirements of the rule. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ See: https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/2/executive-order-minimizing-economic-burden-patient-protection-and --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The provisions of the APA that ordinarily require a notice of proposed rulemaking do not apply here because public health, safety, and welfare could be harmed by allowing the final rule to go into effect without a delay. There are substantive questions raised, and HHS will be further considering questions of fact, law, and policy presented by the rule consistent with the ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review'' memorandum. In this unique circumstance, allowing the regulation to become effective while further consideration is ongoing, prior to further proper consideration of all the relevant facts, would exacerbate the burdens conveyed in comments submitted in the prior rulemaking. Requiring manufacturers to make targeted and potentially costly changes to pricing systems and business procedures in order to come into compliance with a rule that is itself subject to further agency consideration and for which there are substantive questions raised would be disruptive. Given the comments, it appears that objections regarding the timing and challenges of compliance with the rule, 82 FR 1211, as well as other objections to the rule, may not have been adequately considered, thereby requiring additional time and public comment before the rule goes into effect. Providing a public comment period before delaying the effective date is impracticable given the impending deadline. HHS also finds that good cause exists for immediate implementation of this interim final rule and waiver of the Administrative Procedure Act's 30-day delay in the effective date. The 30-day delay is normally intended to give affected parties time to adjust their business practices and make preparations before a final rule takes effect. Because the action being taken delays the effective date to May 22, 2017, at the earliest, a 30-day delay in effect of this action is unnecessary. The effective date delay will permit those subject to the rule extra time to comply with the rule until at least May 22, 2017. III. Regulatory Impact Analysis HHS has examined the effects of this interim final rule as required by Executive Order 12866 on Regulatory Planning and Review (September 30, 1993), Executive Order 13563 on Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review (January 8, 2011), the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96- 354, September 19, 1980), the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4), and Executive Order 13132 on Federalism (August 4, 1999). Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 is supplemental to and reaffirms the principles, structures, and definitions governing regulatory review as established in Executive Order 12866, emphasizing the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility. Section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 defines a ``significant regulatory action'' as an action that is likely to result in a rule: (1) Having an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more in any 1 year, or adversely and materially affecting a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or Tribal governments or communities (also referred to as ``economically significant''); (2) creating a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfering with an action taken or planned by another agency; (3) materially altering the budgetary impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, [[Page 14334]] or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or (4) raising novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in the Executive Order. A regulatory impact analysis (RIA) must be prepared for major rules with economically significant effects ($100 million or more in any 1 year), and a ``significant'' regulatory action is subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). HHS does not believe that the proposal to delay the effective date of the January 5, 2017, final rule will have an economic impact of $100 million or more, and is therefore not designated as an ``economically significant'' interim final rule under section 3(f)(1) of the Executive Order 12866. Therefore, the economic impact of having no rule in place related to the policies addressed in the final rule is believed to be minimal, as the policies would not yet be required or enforceable. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) (RFA) and the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement and Fairness Act of 1996, which amended the RFA, require HHS to analyze options for regulatory relief of small businesses. If a rule has a significant economic effect on a substantial number of small entities, the Secretary must specifically consider the economic effect of the rule on small entities and analyze regulatory options that could lessen the impact of the rule. HHS will use an RFA threshold of at least a 3 percent impact on at least 5 percent of small entities. For purposes of the RFA, HHS considers all health care providers to be small entities either by meeting the Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard for a small business, or for being a nonprofit organization that is not dominant in its market. The current SBA size standard for health care providers ranges from annual receipts of $7 million to $35.5 million. As of January 1, 2017, over 12,000 covered entities participate in the 340B Program, which represent safety-net health care providers across the country. HHS has determined, and the Secretary certifies, that this interim final rule will not have a significant impact on the operations of a substantial number of small manufacturers; therefore, we are not preparing an analysis of impact for this RFA. HHS estimates that the economic impact on small entities and small manufacturers will be minimal. HHS welcomes comments concerning the impact of this interim final rule on small manufacturers and small health care providers. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Section 202(a) of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires that agencies prepare a written statement, which includes an assessment of anticipated costs and benefits, before proposing ``any rule that includes any Federal mandate that may result in the expenditure by State, local, and Tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more (adjusted annually for inflation) in any one year.'' In 2013, that threshold level was approximately $141 million. HHS does not expect this rule to exceed the threshold. Executive Order 13132--Federalism HHS has reviewed this interim final rule in accordance with Executive Order 13132 regarding federalism, and has determined that it does not have ``federalism implications.'' This interim final rule would not ``have substantial direct effects on the States, or on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.'' This interim final rule would not adversely affect the following family elements: Family safety, family stability, marital commitment; parental rights in the education, nurture, and supervision of their children; family functioning, disposable income or poverty; or the behavior and personal responsibility of youth, as determined under Section 654(c) of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act of 1999. Paperwork Reduction Act The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)) requires that OMB approve all collections of information by a federal agency from the public before they can be implemented. This interim final rule is projected to have no impact on current reporting and recordkeeping burden for manufacturers under the 340B Program. This interim final rule would result in no new reporting burdens. Comments are welcome on the accuracy of this statement. Dated: March 13, 2017. James Macrae, Acting Administrator, Health Resources and Services Administration. Approved: March 15, 2017. Thomas E. Price, Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services.

Getting into trading stocks appeals to many people, but the choice should only be made after careful consideration. This article is loaded with fantastic stock market tips to help ensure that you don't lose any money. Read the tips below to find out more.
Before handing any money to an investment broker, you need to make sure that they have a good reputation. You can investigate the reputation of various brokers by using free online resources. Carefully investigating before giving them your money helps you avoid unscrupulous and inexperienced brokers.
Set small, reachable goals when you first start investing. It is well-known that stock market rewards don't happen immediately, unless you partake in high-risk trading which can result in a lot of failure. Keeping this in mind will stop you from making mistakes that will leave you penniless.
The best time-proven way to maximize your stock market earnings is by creating a long-term investing plan and strategy. You also will probably see more success by holding realistic expectations for your investments, as opposed to trying to predict the unforeseeable conditions that most often rule the markets. Hold stocks as long as you need to so they're profitable transactions.
It is very essential that you always look over your stock portfolio a few times a year. This is because the economy is changing all the time. Some sectors outperform others and companies eventually become obsolete. There are many other instances that can occur that can make a big difference on the performance of a particular stock. Keep a close eye on your portfolio, making occasional adjustments so that it continues to meet your financial goals.
You should never try to time the markets. Historically, investors who leave their money in the market for a long time achieve the best results. Determine how much you can afford to invest every month. Then, set up a regular investment schedule, and stick with it.
An online broker can be an excellent option if you are ready to handle your investment research yourself. This allows you to spend less on trading fees and commissions, letting you reinvest your returns instead. This is an easy way to cut back on your investing costs, letting you enjoy the highest potential profits.
Building a detailed, long-term investment plan and setting it down in writing is an important step to take if you want to maximize your stock portfolio's performance. This should include when to buy or sell. Budgeting your investments should also be a goal here before you put any money in. This way you will know that you are spending only the money you have allotted for investing and choosing wisely with your intellect and not your heart.
Don't invest your life saving into your employer's stock. It is a good thing to show support with stock purchases, but loading No BS IM Reviews brand new review your portfolio too heavily with one stock is not a sound investment. If your portfolio only consists of your company's stocks, you will have no safeguard against an economic downturn.
As a rule of thumb, someone who is new to stock trading should begin with a cash account instead of a marginal one. Cash accounts aren't as risky because you can control the amount that you lose. Usually, these accounts are desired for learning useful information about the stock market.
The stock market has a lot of appeal for a variety of reasons, and the chance to earn big rewards is a primary one. However, before you enter, you should educate yourself, and learn some solid investing decisions. Use the information you've learned from this article and you'll be capable of making smart decisions regarding your stock market investments.

FORGET GOLD: Here Are 11 Odd Items People Use To Store Their Wealth
"Gold gets dug out of the ground in Africa or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head."
That's what Warren Buffett said back in 1998.
Gold has long been considered a safe-haven investment. However, the price of gold has performed dismally in recent years.
For those who don't trust the conventional financial markets, there are alternative more unorthodox ways to put away wealth.
We put together a list of some odd assets that have performed relatively well.
But be warned. These assets are very illiquid, and there's no guarantee that their values won't plunge as gold has before them.

Monumental Version of Genesis 1 Takes You Back... to the Beginning. Powerful!
- 2015 26 May

The baby blue suit was one of the most popular formal suits in the 70's and early 80's. This suit was seen at events such as weddings, proms, and even parties. Men could even be seen wearing this suit to disco clubs throughout most major cities.
Light blue suits have fallen out of favor over the past few years but can still be seen on men at retro parties and events. These suits look great on any skin complexion and any body type.
Accessories to be worn with this color suit are white, black, and blue. Shoes worn with this color suit are generally black or burgundy, but I've seen pictures of people wearing white or brown as well.
Just remember that when you wear black, brown, or burgundy shoes with this suit, you should wear a matching color belt. I suppose also if you are bold enough to wear this suit and bold enough to wear white shoes with it, you could also find yourself a white belt to match up with it.
The typical shirt color to wear with this is either a white shirt or a blue shirt. However, I'm sure there are people that have tossed on a pink shirt to wear with this. It seems lots of people love to throw pink shirts on with just about any color suit these days.
Pocket squares can be white, or they can match the color of the tie. Traditionally the solid black or blue tie is worn with this suit color.
Although I wouldn't recommend wearing this suit color, a navy blue tie with white circles would look good with this suit color.
Baby Blue Suit Example
This is a picture of a man wearing a baby blue suit in a two button model. It is a two piece suit with flat front pants.
The tie is navy blue with white dots and the pocket square is white. Surprisingly enough, the suit actually looks modern.
It appears that it may be made out of linen or seersucker, so it may be appropriate for folks living in the southern part of the United States.
Prices on a new costume baby blue suit will usually sell for around $100. However, true vintage suits will vary in price based off material, designer, and condition.
A few diligent weeks or months of Ebay searching may find you a great baby blue suit for a very low price. You may even get lucky and find one on your first search.

Hello DreamsofLove96
Anyone following me on Hubpages knows that my passion is homeopathy, studying, talking, learning more and more about the remedies, the methods of practice, the cases and healing stories that provide hope for a fulfilling future overcoming obstacles and challenges in life.
I even created a social network platform, Homeopathy World Community, for homeopaths to meet and share with each other and the world. I host a BlogTalkRadio show where I study the Organon of Medicine and talk about current health and medical news topics. I'm expanding the shows now to add many more sessions and guests to speak.
The many opportunities to attend seminars, workshops, conferences, and webinars abound. Attending such sessions motivates me to want to learn even more about homeopathy and the many explorers in this field of medicine and research. Of course, I also like Hubpages, which provides a place to blog about my passions!

kool hobbies, you guys!!!! my hobbies are, obviously enough (lol), animals and poetry.... but if i had to choose, i would choose who has always been there for me the most.... even though poetry is my voice, meaning the only way i am able to speak my mind, animals have been there. my knowledge is only about them. i feel like they know me and understand me... which is why i get all defensive when people talk about the "ugliest" dog in the world, thinking that it is a fact. its merely an opinion. i never judge by what we think we see; i judge what is hidden, which is why i never fall for the cute guys in school or anything like that. animals are amazing and their eyes speak the truth. their souls tell us who they are. most Catholics don't believe that animals have souls. i even heard my theology teacher saying "animals dont have the thought process to have a soul". okay, wolves can kill better than us, dolphins can paint, dogs can turn on a light with their mouths, dogs go towards something that we point to (just like a baby). although monkeys cant do the whole follow-where-they-point thing. the list can go on and on forever. animals, i believe, have souls. they also have a beloved heart and an intelligent mind. this is why i am more passionate about them.

Automobile Taxi-Cab
by Sy Schreckinger – ANTIQUE TOY WORLD Magazine – December, 2013
A MOST UNIQUE and impressive penny bank, and one that deviates from the
type generally discussed, is this article's subject. The "Automobile
Taxi-Cab Bank" (Figure 1) may be considered a bank with a dual
personality since it is desirable and appealing to collectors of
mechanical as well as coin-registering banks.
Bank collectors typically place coin savings banks into one of
three categories: mechanical, still, or coin-registering. Most
collectors generally express their preference for one of the
aforementioned. Occasionally, within each of the categories exists an
example that is desirable aesthetically, historically, or perhaps
philosophically, one that may be appealing across bank collecting lines.
Examples possessing such qualities include: "General Butler" still bank
(Figure 2), Kyser and Rex's cast iron "Coin-Registering Bank" (Figure
3), the semi- mechanical "Lighthouse Bank" (Figure 4), and the
coin-registering "Automobile Taxi-Cab Bank" featured in this article.
In comparison to other examples categorized as coin-registering
banks, "Taxi-Cab Bank" is unique and innovative insofar as design,
action and subject matter. Composed entirely of colorfully lithographed
tinplate, its qualities of bold graphics, vivid colors and charming form
all lend itself to "fit" comfortably within each of the three
categories, i.e. registering, still and mechanical.
"Automobile Taxi-Cab Bank" displays the classic design, materials
and brightly lithographed surface so evident in mechanical and still
banks produced in Germany during the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. An advertisement appearing in a 1939 Bishopsgate, London,
England Wholesale Catalog, (Figure 5) pictures the "Taxi-Cab Bank"
offered for sale at a price of 8/6 pence per dozen. In addition to
'Taxi-Cab Bank", two other tin mechanicals of German manufacture were
featured in the same advertisement. These are "Tin Monkey With Tray" and
"Royal Trick Elephant Bank".
Thanks to fellow collectors and historians, John and Adrianne
Haley, for supplying information that revealed the manufacturer of
"Automobile Taxi-Cab Bank" as Fischer and Company, Nurnberg, Germany.
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this company
was a leading producer of tin penny toys, tin toy automobiles and
brightly lithographed tinplate novelties.
The reclamation of coins from "Taxi-Cab Bank" differs significantly
from most other registering-type banks. Banks within this category
typically contain an internal mechanism that, only when satiated with
coins, automatically opens a coin release door that expels Figure 4 the
deposited monies. However, "Taxi-Cab Bank" utilizes a key lock,
trap-door type coin retainer, allowing the depositor access to
accumulated coins upon demand.
Action of "Taxi-Cab Bank" is uncomplicated and appropriate to the
subject. A coin is pushed through the slot provided in the roof of the
Cab. Simultaneously, the total amount of deposits is displayed through
two small "meter" windows located under the cab driver's left arm
(Figure 6).
Interestingly, "Automobile Taxi-Cab Bank" had also been offered for
sale in the catalog (Figure 5) as a clockworks toy vehicle. This also is
evidenced by two holes in the lower side sections of the bank's rear
wheel wells, which may have been designed to accommodate a key-wind,
clockworks spring motor. In addition, the front wheels' axel of
"Automobile Taxi-Cab Figure 3 Bank" was installed at an angle. The
purpose, apparently, was to enable the taxi-cab to run in concentric
circles. Despite its offering in the aforementioned catalog, to date, no
example of a key-wind clockworks "Automobile Taxi- Cab" has surfaced.
Although it is modest in size, i.e. Length: 7-3/4 inches, Height:
3-3/4 inches, "Automobile Taxi- Cab Bank" is an attractive and desirable
addition to a mechanical bank collection. It is also extremely rare,
with only two examples presently known to exist and these are parked on
the shelves of two fortunate collectors.
Acknowledgments: The line example "Automobile Taxi- Gab 13ank"
(Figure Ii is in the collection of the Kidd Toy Museum. Frank and Joyce
Kidd proprietors.
Many thanks to know collectors John and Adrianne Haley for
supplying a copy of the catalog page seen in figure :5. The Haley's are
in possession of the other fine example "Automobile Taxi-Cab Bank".

Boie USA Toothbrush
It's indisputably cool looking. But more than that, the Boie USA Toothbrush is clever in a myriad of ways. For instance, it's head is interchangeable so you won't throw away the handle every couple of months.

The moment the Tigers' season came to an end yesterday, the very second they were eliminated from playoff contention, Brad Ausmus came under fire.
As if he was responsible for the players' failure.
The 2016 Tigers missed the playoffs for a number of reasons. A rash of injuries. A spate of underperformances. A fickle offense. A faulty bullpen. The list goes on – the Cleveland Indians, anyone?? – but it should not and does not include Ausmus.
To call for the skipper to be fired is to ignore everything else that went wrong with this team.
Regarding the injuries: at various points this season, and for long chunks of time, the Tigers were without their center fielder, their right fielder, their shortstop, their third baseman and their second-best starting pitcher. Ausmus had a fully healthy starting lineup at his disposal just 11 games out of 161. Yes, every team in baseball dealt with injuries, but few were hit as hard as that.
Ausmus, to his credit, never used it as an excuse. In fact, his most common response to questions about the team's injury woes went something like this: "I'm not whining about it." And that resilient tone trickled down to his players and took root in the clubhouse. Good on him.
Regarding the underperformances: Detroit's two biggest offseason acquisitions were nowhere to be found for months at a time. And one only showed up when the other went missing. Jordan Zimmermann (5 years, $110 million) was terrific through April and May, when Justin Upton was downright awful. And when Upton (6 years, $132.75 million) turned it around in August and September, Zimmermann – if he was healthy – couldn't keep the ball in the yard.
Ausmus was blamed for keeping Upton in the lineup early in the season when the left fielder was swinging a fly-swatter at the plate. But he was right to let Upton find his bearings in a new environment, and the skipper chose an apt time to bench him when Upton's struggles resurfaced later in the year. After being sat down for three games in mid-August, Upton closed out the season on one of the best offensive runs of his career.
Ausmus was also questioned for turning to Zimmermann down the stretch. The righty was bombed in his first two outings after returning from the disabled list, hardly appearing at full strength, and he failed to deliver in take-three in Detroit's final series of the year. But what other choice did Ausmus have? At least Zimmermann had a track record to suggest he was up for the task.
Regarding the streaky offense: Tigers hitters were either scalding hot this season or woefully cold. Forget about the in-between. Consider this: despite finishing in the top ten in runs per game, Detroit scored 1 run or less on 30 – yes, 30 – occasions. Not surprisingly, the team struggled to establish momentum all season long, undoing every surge with a predictable skid.
Ausmus fiddled with the batting order and gave guys rest. He allowed players extra time in the cage, and he told them to stay away from it. The same goes for the video room. The skipper tried just about every trick in the book to jolt the offense out of its many slumbers, with varying degrees of success. In all likelihood, Ausmus had little effect on things either way. But let's all acknowledge one thing together: he wasn't the one swinging the bats.
Regarding the faulty bullpen: Tigers relievers finished 13th in the A.L. in both ERA and batting average against. The 'pen was full of unknowns, from Shane Greene to Bruce Rondon. Heck, even Francisco Rodriguez, their mostly reliable closer, had his share of meltdowns. It is telling that the Tigers' most consistent reliever this season was Mark Lowe, only because he was dreadful from start to finish.
In no area did Ausmus receive more criticism this year than his bullpen management. But look what he was working with. Most MLB managers, at the very least, have a closer and an established set-up man at their disposal. Ausmus never had the latter because no one was good enough to claim that role. So take issue with his bullpen strategy if you must, but remember that he was often choosing between kerosene and dynamite in flammable situations.
For everything working against the Tigers this season, they finished 11 games over .500 and remained in playoff contention to the bitter end. Their ability to overcome adversity was impressive. Most of it was probably due to luck – Detroit finished 26-17 in one-run games – while a smaller portion of it may have been a product of the team's resolve. Who really knows.
But guess what? The Tigers' tangible results – positive or negative – were hardly a result of Ausmus' in-game tactics. To credit or blame a manager for the outcome of a season is to overstate his impact. From innings one through nine, he is mostly an observer, putting out his best lineup and hoping that it comes through. The Tigers' best lineup this season, which was constantly in flux, didn't win enough games. And that's not Ausmus' fault.
Ausmus shouldn't be fired because the Tigers missed the playoffs. Nor should he be retained because they came close. If it's foolish to suggest he killed their chances, so is it naïve to think he "kept the team in it." He doesn't have that kind of influence on a game-by-game basis. No manager does.
Nevertheless, it makes sense to keep Ausmus around. He's been here three seasons and the Tigers have performed well enough under his watch – 250 wins, 234 losses – to suggest he is as capable a manager as most of his peers. That is: his effect is minimal. More importantly, he knows these players better than anyone and has a keen feel for how they interact. And if there is one area in which a manager can make a significant difference it is in the way he meshes personalities and brings a team together.
"I think the best managers, quite frankly, know how to navigate a clubhouse. They understand what the players' mindsets are," Ausmus said before the season began.
In that vein, he was up to the task. The Tigers were a unified team throughout their up-and-down season, maintaining a positive outlook no matter the circumstances. The players supported each other. They stood behind their manager. There were no reports of clubhouse discontent. That counts for something, especially in an age where gargantuan salaries and outsized egos frequently lead to locker-room unrest. The Tigers are long on high-paid stars, but personal desires never seemed to get in the way of larger team goals. Ausmus deserves some credit for that.
"From my point of view, if he's our manager then that's who our manager is," Ian Kinsler said over the weekend. "There's no sense in second-guessing it or thinking if someone else could be better. The grass isn't always greener. We've got the guy that's been here for three years. Obviously, he was new to the job three years ago and somebody that knows the team and the players and it's not my position to second-guess that. If he's our manager, then that's who's going to lead this team."
It's reasonable to assign blame in the wake of a disappointment. And the Tigers 2016 season qualifies as such, as they failed to meet their goal of making the playoffs. But that's not Ausmus' fault, just as it wouldn't have been his doing had the team's fate been reversed. That's the nature of his job.
What does fall on Ausmus' shoulders is molding a team out of a 25-man roster. He did that this season, which is why he deserves to be here next season as well.

Somehow, it seems that Kevin ran into some issues with his wife this morning, resulting in him showing up late. Apparently his wife had eaten some poorly refrigerated Costco chicken and the resulting stomach ache. Kevin ended up taking her to the hospital thinking she had gone into labor, but Kevin believes that this false alarm was just a bad case of diarrhea. Still, he'll never admit women poop.
Plus, Ally talked about the trouble one of her friends has had issues with her dog devouring her vibrator, which is a huge loss for anyone in that situation. As Ally put it, it's similar to buying a motorcycle, where you learn what kind of ride you can handle and what size works best for you. Either way, clearly this is the biggest loss from a dog's appetite since Kevin had to deal with his dog chewing out parts of his dirty underpants.

Plastic surgery to avoid bullying? Are South Florida teens ready to go under the knife? Should we be thinking of Botox, Boobs and Nose Jobs to avoid bullying? Media outlets such as Good Morning America and The Today Show are reporting a growing number of teens requesting plastic surgery as a reprieve from bullying.
According to CDC data, one in five high school students are bullied on school grounds every year. Even future pop superstar Lady Gaga was teased about her appearance as a child: the singer recounted being taunted and thrown in a trash can on The View on Monday.
High school senior Erica Morgo tried to break her own nose after constant teasing. After the incident, her mother, Dana Manzella, decided to allow her then 15-year-old daughter to undergo cosmetic surgery.
Teasing is torture to teens. So when 13-year-old Aubrey Woodward told The Today Show she wants plastic surgery to get her ears pinned back, she said it was because, "it makes me feel really bad" when she gets teased about them.
Erica and Aubrey are among a small but growing number of teenagers who say being teased or bullied prompted them to consider or even undergo cosmetic surgery.
Ear pin-backs are one of the most common plastic surgeries for teens, along with nose jobs such as Erica's and breast reductions. Recent data from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery indicates that 203,308 teens went under the knife in 2009.
"While not very common, plastic surgery on teenagers can be appropriate in certain circumstances," says Dr. Wigoda, Chief of Plastic Surgery at Broward General. "Each case has to be evaluated carefully to make certain the surgery is being done for the right reasons. For example, if a teen has very large breasts for which she not only gets teased but which make it difficult for her to exercise or participate in physical activities, or if they are causing pain, a breast reduction may be appropriate. A teen who feels very self conscious about a large nose or prominent ears, can be helped significantly with surgery with regards to their self esteem and their degree of confidence in themselves."
When considering plastic surgery, whether for a teen or adult, it is important to thoroughly research the doctor, surgery center and risk associated with a procedure. The decision to have an elective cosmetic procedure is a serious one and should not be taken lightly. Dr. Wigoda firmly believes in building a rapport and carefully evaluating each potential patient to ensure they are a good candidate for whatever surgery they are pursuing.

Meditation affects a person's brain function long after the act of meditation is over, according to new research..........
The researchers began the study with the hypothesis that meditation can help control emotional responses...
During meditation, a part of the brain called the amygdala (known for the processing of emotional stimuli) showed decreased activity. However, when the participants were shown images of other people that were either good, bad, or neutral for a practice known as "compassion meditation," the amygdala was exceptionally responsive.
The subjects were able to focus their attention and greatly reduce their emotional reactions. And over an eight-week period, the participants retained this ability.
Even when they were not engaged in a meditative state, their emotional responses were subdued, and they experienced more compassion for others when faced with disturbing images.
Around the same time, another group at Harvard Medical School (HMS) began to study the effect of meditation on retaining information. Their hypothesis was that people who meditate have more control over alpha rhythm — a brain wave thought to screen out everyday distractions, allowing for more important information to be processed.
"Mindfulness meditation has been reported to enhance numerous mental abilities, including rapid memory recall," said Catherine Kerr of the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and the Osher Research Center, both at HMS.
"Our discovery that mindfulness meditators more quickly adjusted the brain wave that screens out distraction could explain their superior ability to rapidly remember and incorporate new facts."
Both studies used participants that had no previous experience with meditation.

December 5, 2006
The rancorous debate about how undocumented workers affect jobs and wages in the United States will likely be rejoined soon. So, too, will an equally rancorous, if less prominent, debate over whether immigrants make the United States more crime-ridden and dangerous, says Eyal Press in the New York Times Magazine.
In fact, the notion that communities with growing immigrant populations tend to be unsafe is fairly well established:
- In a national survey conducted in 2000, 73 percent of Americans said they believe that immigrants are either "somewhat" or "very" likely to increase crime.
- That is compared with 60 percent who fear they are "likely to cause Americans to lose jobs."
- Cities like Avon Park, Fla., for example, have considered ordinances recently to dissuade businesses from hiring illegal immigrants, whose presence "destroys our neighborhoods."
But according to researchers, those assumptions may be wrong:
- In San Diego and El Paso -- both with heavy Mexican immigrant populations -- the homicide rate for Hispanics was lower than for other groups, even though their poverty rate was very high, if not the highest.
- Similarly, in Chicago, from 1995 to 2002, a survey found that the rate of violence among Mexican-Americans was significantly lower than among both non-Hispanic whites and blacks.
But while overall immigrant populations have low crime rates, the younger generations -- who have often assimilated into American culture -- are having a much more difficult time:
- The incarceration rate among second-generation Mexicans was eight times higher than for the first generation.
- Among Vietnamese, it was more than 10 times higher.
- Where first-generation immigrants were less likely to wind up in prison than native-born whites, the second (with the exception of Filipinos and Chinese) were more likely.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Simple DIY (Do It Yourself) on 1998 BMW 740iL
Pretty good with Mech Tools, call it stress relief. I'd like to do some of the work on the car myself. That being said how much of this car could I work on before I cause serious damage :-).
| |
If you decide to tackle some repairs of your car look at Alldata's web site they allow a one years subscription at a reasonable price that gives you access to the same information thousands of independent repair shops use. It also has Technical Service Bulletins, wiring diagrams ect....
For the money it cost it would give you a lot reading.
For the money it cost it would give you a lot reading.
BMW's are quite complicated probably just stick to maintenance ( tune up, oil changes, brakes )
Very little. This vehicle is very difficult to work on, depending on what you would like to do of course. Just remember, if you make a mistake on the vehicle and you are not able to repair it yourself, its certain that the repair bill will easily run into the thousands most likely. Doing maintenance on several things alone can run over $500. Repairs are another story
