GOP says its main focus isn't social issues
Midway through the legislative session, House Republicans say they're still focused on jobs, education, government reform and public safety – and they dispute Democratic charges that they're pushing a "social issues" agenda.
Members of the House Republican Caucus discussed their priorities after "crossover day," the deadline for each legislative chamber to act on its own bills.
"Of 603 bills passed in the House, over 42 percent have dealt with issues of jobs, education, government reform and safety," said House Speaker William Howell of Fredericksburg. "These are the four main points of the Republican Party."
Democrats have accused Republicans of being obsessed with social issues such as restricting abortion and gay rights and expanding gun rights. They point to measures such as House Bill 1, which would grant "personhood" rights to a fertilized egg at the moment of conception. Some critics say HB 1 could outlaw abortion and even some contraceptive methods, but the bill's proponents disagree.
At a press conference Wednesday, House Republicans acknowledged that bills involving social issues have received a lot of press coverage and commentary. But they said those bills are a small part of the GOP agenda.
"I think the proof in the pudding is in the fact that less than 2.5 percent of bills introduced by Republicans have been social issues," Howell said.
GOP leaders displayed a pie chart showing that only 2.2 percent of the bills approved by the House concerned social issues. In contrast:
• 42.3 percent concerned education, government reform, public safety and jobs.
• 12.3 percent involved judicial issues.
• 10.8 percent address local matters.
• And the rest concerned transportation, energy, the environment, health care, veterans and other issues.
One of the education-related bills would end the tenure-like system for public school teachers. Under House Bill 576, new teachers and principals would receive three-year contracts instead of continuing contracts – making it easier to fire poor performers.
"It's going to be a good thing for good teachers, and bad teachers may find that the profession is not for them," said Delegate Richard Bell, R-Staunton, who sponsored HB 576.
In the Senate, Republicans also touted their record this session.
Of the 684 Senate bills, 403 were approved by the upper chamber by crossover, the Virginia Senate Republican Caucus said.
"Our members should be proud of what we have accomplished so far this session," said Senate Majority Leader Thomas Norment of Williamsburg.
"We have approved important measures that will spur economic growth, streamline our government, and improve the quality of education in Virginia. And we have accomplished this by administering the legislative process fairly and transparently, allowing bills to be presented and discussed by the senators in full committee."
The Senate approved several components of Gov. Bob McDonnell's agenda, including his call to reduce and streamline the state's boards and commissions. It also passed measures aimed at spurring economic development and creating jobs.
"The wide range of bills that were considered and approved is particularly impressive," said Sen. Ryan McDougle of Mechanicsville, who chairs the Senate Republican Caucus. "Bills on jobs and economic development, education, public safety, government reform, health care, and veterans' affairs have all been approved by the Senate and are headed to the House. We are on track to have one of the most productive sessions in recent memory."
Each house now will take up legislation passed by the other chamber. Moreover, the General Assembly must turn its attention to crafting a state budget for the 2012-14 biennium.
The session is scheduled to end March 10.

The Boathouse to open at Short Pump Town Center
The Boathouse restaurant will open at Short Pump Town Center in the spring, its third location in the region.
"People have asked us to come to the West End for years," said owner Kevin Healy. "When the opportunity arose, we knew had to jump on it."
The new restaurant will be located in a 5,800-square-foot space under the Hyatt House Hotel at the town center and will include a large outdoor patio. > Read more.
Getting a 'mouf'-ful
Boka Kantina exceeds its strong food truck reputation
Already a fan of Boka fare from outdoor events with the Tako Truck, I was delighted to learn of the new restaurant, and eager to see if its reputation held up after putting down brick-and-mortar roots.
Would the food lose its zest if I wasn't enjoying it in the great outdoors? Would it seem pedestrian served from an ordinary kitchen instead of a truck?
Would the tacos be less satisfying as an antidote to normal lunch hunger – instead of being ingested to stave off desperate hunger after a long afternoon of crowds, sun, and tedious lines? > Read more.
Lakeside microbrewery beginning to take shape
Original Gravity gets the green light to move forward with relocation, expansion into larger space
A Lakeside home-brewing shop has felt the gravitational pull toward the booming craft beer scene.
Original Gravity, a shop that sells beer and wine kits for homebrewers, has just been given the green light to start work on a microbrewery.
Owner Tony Ammendolia is expanding his 1,000-square-foot shop in Lakeside Town Center to 5,000-square-foot digs a few doors down to add a brewery and expand his supplies.
Ammendolia opened the home-brew supply store in November 2011 and since then he said business has taken off.
"I think I outgrew this place in the first year," Ammendolia said. "We've seen steady growth and I've been looking for a place to expand to move the shop to get more square footage." > Read more.

Posts tagged: Shoshone News-Press
Seems Andie Tessler, a staff writer for the Shoshone News-Press two weeks out of journalism school, is "embarrassed" at the way the media has conducted themselves during coverage of the Lucky Friday Mine tragedy. In a News-Press column today, she said: "I have watched them walk the streets of Mullan without seeing them, speak to people in genuine distress without hearing them, and attend a heartfelt and moving vigil without actually being there. I am sickened. Being an objective journalist does not mean it is acceptable to sell your soul for a story; there must be a level of compassion and connection to the people around you or the integrity of your words is lost." I'd say young Tessler has lost her objectivity in an attempt to ingratiate herself to individuals that she will be covering in the Silver Valley. I'd also say that she certainly wasn't describing professional SR staffers Becky Kramer, Alison Boggs, and Kathy Plonka who have been covering the tragedy. She should name names and specific examples rather than slime a whole profession that knows a whole lot more than her how to deal with breaking news. You can read more of Tessler's column here.

Stacks of charred newspapers can be seen at the Shoshone News-Press in Kellogg on Thursday, Sept. 23, 2010. A fire was started at the offices early Thursday.
A 21-year-old man arrested for arson at the badly gutted office of the Shoshone News Press in Kellogg apparently "was just mad at the town," Kellogg's fire chief said today.
The newspaper lost a portion of its archives that date back decades.
Douglas Mark Burmeister of Kellogg was booked into Shoshone County Jail today for starting the fire inside the newspaper office at 401 S. Main St.
He was arrested away from the fire, but investigators had been able to place him at the scene, officials said.
Fire Chief Dale Costa said the arsonist broke a window to gain entry to the newspaper in the pre-dawn hours. SR, More here.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
U.S. attacks on insurgents a necessary response
WASHINGTON — It's clear for lots of reasons — political, economic, strategic, electoral, opportunistic, moral, and simply sensible, to name a few — that President Barack Obama has no desire to get drawn back into the Iraq war. So why is he bombing Islamist insurgents in the Kurdish region of Iraq and saying he might keep doing so for months? Because what he's doing has nothing to do with getting drawn back into the Iraq war.
This seems a paradox, to say the least, but stick with me for a minute. We can all agree that "the Iraq war" refers to the period from 2003-11, when a U.S.-led coalition invaded Iraq, ousted the central Baghdad government, and dismantled all bodies of authority, thus hurling most of the country into sectarian warfare, which American commanders tried to suppress, first through crude, brutal occupation, then (in 2007) through clever counterinsurgency techniques, which played the sectarian factions off one another, vastly reducing the violence and forging a provisional truce.
However, even the advocates of this new strategy, such as Gen. David Petraeus, said all along that the benefits would be temporary at best; that all U.S. forces could do was provide "breathing space" for Iraq's political factions to get their act together.
After American troops came home (under the terms of a 2008 treaty signed by George W. Bush at the insistence of Iraq's parliament), it soon became clear that Iraq's Shiite prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki had no desire to get his act together and sustain the truce with his Sunni rivals; in fact, he stepped up his persecution against them — and sectarian war re-erupted.
This is the Iraq war that neither President Obama nor any sentient American should want to re-enter. Obama's airstrikes against the Islamists' holdings in Kurdistan are something different.
Note that three paragraphs ago, in my mini-summary of the Iraq war, I noted that the 2003 ouster of Saddam Hussein's regime and the dismantlement of all his ministries hurled "most of the country into sectarian warfare." The one area of Iraq that remained nearly immune from the chaos — the one area that U.S. authorities deemed "stable" through most of the occupation — was the northern area known as Kurdistan, home to roughly six million Kurds.
This is true, despite Kurdistan's multi-ethnic population (mainly Muslims but also Yazidis, the Yarsan, Christians and Jews) and its various conflicts over the decades with Baghdad. The main reason for Kurdistan's stability is that in 1970 the U.S. and Iraqi governments decreed it an autonomous area. More relevant still, after the 1991 Gulf War, the UN Security Council, in Resolution 688, declared the area a "safe haven" to protect Kurds from Saddam Hussein's wrath. (He had killed thousands of Kurds with chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.) And the United States agreed to enforce the resolution with a "no-fly zone." (In other words, all Iraqi planes trying to fly over Kurdish territory would be shot down by U.S. air or naval power.)
Under this protection, Kurdistan has thrived. Its per capita income exceeds the rest of Iraq's by 50 per cent, it has free-trade zones with Turkey and Iran (both of which were once rivals or enemies), and it has solid relations with many Western companies.
The Kurds' growing wealth has sired tensions too. As Sunni-Shiite violence has turned Iraq into a borderline "failed state," the Kurds have started making their own deals with oil companies and made moves toward their century-long aspirations of complete independence (which the French and British colonialists thwarted after the First World War by divvying Kurdish territory among the peripheries of Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran). This would deny Baghdad and Iraq's Sunni Arabs of much oil revenue. Still, it's become very clear that, if Iraq — whether as a centralized state or a loose federation — has any hopes of ever becoming stable, much less democratic, a thriving Kurdistan must be part of it, even a model for it.
When ISIL (now calling itself the Islamic State) crossed into Iraq in June, many in the West expressed worry but not enough to do a lot about it. First, ISIL seemed pretty small. Second, few realized that — under al-Maliki's corrupt leadership — much of the Iraqi army had become a hollow shell of its former shelf. Third, ISIS was playing on the hostility of many Sunnis to al-Maliki's Shiite government, so most Western leaders said the only way to solve the problem was for the Iraqis to form a new, more inclusive government; meanwhile, if we defended what was seen as an oppressive Shiite government, we would be viewed as "al-Maliki's air force" and drive still more Sunnis into ISIL's ranks.
Finally, and most pertinent in this context, it was assumed — and, at the outset, affirmed — that the Kurdish peshmerga could defend itself if ISIL moved into Kurdistan.
President Obama's Aug. 11 announcement of airstrikes over Kurdistan and increased military shipments followed the first signs that ISIL could challenge the peshmerga after all.
In other words, Obama's moves do not amount to a resumption of the Iraq war but rather a necessary response, not only to a humanitarian crisis but to a mortal danger facing a vital ally.

The French newspaper Le Monde is celebrating its 70th anniversary, and MrB was invited to the Le Monde Festival to speak on a panel about the future of journalism.
After MrB did his journalism-related work, I had a little business to do. The Biennale de Paris is a show of antiques, artwork and jewelry, and I wanted to see what the big design houses were showing. There were lines to get into the likes of Dior, and I was told that Van Cleef sold every single piece it exhibited.
While at the Cartier booth, I realized I desperately need a diamond and ruby tiara. I mean, who doesn't?!
I enjoyed finding this fellow among the antiquities.
The exhibition was in the Grand Palais, which has a grand ceiling.
Afterwards, I paused outside so that MrB could take a picture of me in my new hoodie. As you can see, this isn't run-of-the-mill athletic wear: It's covered with ostrich feathers and silver chains. My gorgeous hairstylist friend Julie Matos found it for me at Patricia Field.
What Wendy Wore
Hoodie: Patricia Field (2014)
Jeans: Acne (2008)
Shoes: Opening Ceremony (2013)
Purse: Yves Saint Laurent (2013)
T-shirt (unseen): Splendid
While we were at Patricia Field, I got Julie to pose in a pink flowered jacket.
Back in Paris, MrB and I walked back to our hotel from the Biennale. As we strolled past "Cleopatra's Needle," the clouds arranged themselves nicely for this photo.
We had dinner with friends at Terroir Parisien. It's casual, but very good. The chef, Yannick Alleno, has won Michelin stars.
We all took a photo after dinner. One of the great things about iPhones being everywhere is that you can hand a phone to anyone and they can take a picture without needing a long explanation of what button to press.
From left, it's me, MrB, Marc, Nina and Jessica. Nina works in fine jewelry at Piaget, so she guided us around the Biennale. Nina is my French twin because not only does she work in fine jewelry, but she's got five pets — both cats and dogs — and she's obsessed with her animals as I am with mine. Speaking of twins, can you believe that Nina is Jessica's mother? They look like sisters in this photo! Marc is the husband and dad.

If you're a Fashion Police fanatic/Joan Rivers fan, turn on E!, because the network is running an all-day marathon of the show in memory of Joan right now. Joan's daughter Melissa will appear on special tribute episode at 8 PM ET.
When I started this blog in 2007, its motto was "Wear What You Want" — my way of encouraging peeps to defy what I called the "self-appointed fashion police who snark on anyone who shows a little creativity." This August 26, as I watched the official Fashion Police show on the MTV Video Music Awards and the Emmys, I thought, for the zillionth time, that I really needed to write a post clarifying that Joan Rivers was not the target of my anti-policing wrath (okay, just this time). Joan was a comedian doing outrageous schtick. (Her unfunny E! cohosts — Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic — them I have a problem with. I usually enjoy the third cohost, George Kotsiopoulos, because he's more open-minded and less whiny.)
If Joan had had the late-night network show as she deserved, she'd be riffing off all kinds of current events in her monologue. But, because late night is firmly in the hands of white men in suits, Joan had to focus her talents on the traditionally feminine — and therefore overlooked and disrespected — topic of fashion.
For the zillionth time, I thought, "I'll get around to writing that post … someday." I felt like I had all the time in the world because Joan seemed unstoppable. I figured her competitive spirit meant she'd at least tie Betty White for career longevity and Betty is 92. Joan was only 81. I had 11 years to write that post! Except, as we all know, I didn't. The head of the clinic where Joan went into cardiac arrest after a routine throat endoscopy has already stepped down. Joan's personal throat doctor, Gwen Korovin, is denying reports that she performed an unauthorized procedure during an examination of Joan's vocal cords or snapped a selfie of Joan when the star was under sedation. Exactly what happened is still under investigation.
If you want to understand what Joan was like in her later years, watch the 2010 documentary, Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, which reveals the comedian's obsession with working as well as her commitment to her charity work.
To understand what a groundbreaker she was, read the condescending 1965 New York Times review that called Joan "…an unusually bright girl who is overcoming the handicap of a woman comic, looks pretty and blonde and bright and yet manages to make people laugh." (The review went on to use the word "bright" a third time!)
Here's Joan on the Ed Sullivan show in 1967 talking about how men have it easier than women when it comes to dating. Note that she says girls have to be "bright"!
Joan came so close to being a big late-night star. After getting her break on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in February 1965, she became his permanent guest host in 1983. She did so well that Fox gave Joan her own show in 1986, opposite Carson's. It ended in disappointment: She was fired in under a year due to sagging ratings and Carson never spoke to her again. Turning a career downturn into tragedy, Joan's husband, who'd produced her show, committed suicide just months later. Fox should have stuck it out, the way NBC did in the 1990s when Conan O'Brien's first show debuted to poor ratings. (Men in suits always catch a break — except when it comes to the crown jewel of the Tonight Show, of course.) You can see how great she was as a host in this 1987 clip of her with the Beastie Boys. She's like their glamorous, sophisticated aunt, poking fun at them but giving them their moments too. She also gave them her desk!
Joan and her daughter Melissa were estranged after the suicide of Rosenberg, Joan's husband and Melissa's father, but they overcame it with therapy. As Joan said recently:
"We're very close. We have nobody else: she has me and I have her. I think it's going to be very difficult when I die, very hard for her … Your child is never not your child. You can be 90 and your mother 120, but your mother is still worried about you."
I believe Melissa is going to be okay because her mother set such a fine example of overcoming hardship and getting up after falling down. (If you lose your TV show, design jewelry!) Immediately after her mother's death, Melissa said, "My mother's greatest joy in life was to make people laugh. Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon." And Melissa did indeed have me laughing — and crying a little — with the letter to Joan that she read at Joan's funeral, which was the star-studded gala of her mother's dreams. Joan had been staying at Melissa's Los Angeles home and Melissa started with:
"Mom: I received the note that you slipped under my bedroom door last night. I was very excited to read it, thinking that it would contain amazing, loving advice that you wanted to share with me. Imagine my surprise when I opened it and saw that it began with the salutation, 'Dear Landlord.'"
When you read the whole letter, the warmth and humor of their relationship becomes clear. Not every kid can handle an outrageous parent, but Melissa clearly was doing just fine.
E! just aired the Fashion Police Grammys 2012 show and it concluded with Joan's tribute to Whitney Houston, who died the night before the Grammys. She said, "Though we won't see her on the red carpet again, she will always be in our hearts." Same to you, Joan. Same to you.

For Throwback Thursday, here I am trying to be Audrey Hepburn in an LBD and updo in November 2003.
The yellow-diamond earrings and ring I'm wearing were purchased from my late business partner, before we were partners.
I didn't go into the jewelry business until 2005.
I think this is the same, very short, black dress that I wore as my friend Phil's best man in 2002. I wore that for a long time, but I don't have it anymore.

Esquire ran an excerpt from a book called F**k: An Irreverent History of the F-Word by Rufus Lodge. The magazine's glossary of 69 fucks includes Mr. Big's favorite, "abso-fucking-lutely" …
… "fuckball," as delivered by Harvey Keitel in the movie Get Shorty …
… and the likes of "fuckboy," the 1950s term "fuck-dust," and the Victorian "fuckhole."
Those people who say swearing is a sign of a limited vocabulary really need to get the fuck outta here …
… and shut the fuck up …
… because I think "fuckola" and "fuckstruck" are pretty fucking creative!
And I should know, because I've won awards for swearing!

MrB and I went to California on Labor Day weekend to visit family and friends. We stayed near the beach in Santa Monica and it was so beautiful, daytime …
… and nighttime.
The buildings were pink, there wasn't a cloud in the sky …
… and the Champagne sangria was delicious.
MrB and I had a good time on the Ferris wheel …
… and in the Pacific Ocean.
We caught up with my gorgeous friends Stef and Vyque. I've known Stef since 1999 when I hired her at People Magazine, and I've known Vyque quite a few years already thanks to her blog Fasshonaburu.
We also drove to the Valley to hang out with legendary rapper Gangsta Boo and her musician boyfriend, Sozay. Sozay gave MrB a t-shirt that made him feel totally gangsta.
I always have a good time with Boo!
Right near where we were staying, in the Brentwood Country Mart, is Broken English Jewelry, which carries my jewelry line. I stopped in to take a look at some of my pieces there. Pantone has declared aquamarine to be the #1 color for women for Spring 2015, so it was a good time to take a few photos of my one-of-a-kind, 18K-gold-and-aquamarine Livia poison ring.
Before we went home, we drove to Hollywood …
… to have our traditional brunch with the L.A.-based portion of the family: MrB's two eldest daughters, two grandsons, one son-in-law, and one first wife. This time we also enjoyed the company of MrB's son, who flew out from Chicago. Basically, we were only missing one daughter and one second wife. MrB presented Wife #1 with a nice bottle of Irish whiskey because it would have been their 50th wedding anniversary … if they were still married! Wife #3 (me) took celebratory photos. We have a very civilized extended family. Later, I wore a large plastic spider as a hat, courtesy of my eldest grandson.
That day, I was wearing a t-shirt that I had been dubious about.
What Wendy Wore
T-shirt: Moschino (2013)
Shorts: Castelbajac (2013)
Shoes: Prada (2011)
Purse: YSL (2013)
I got the top because it has safety pins on it and, thanks to my love for punk music and fashion, I have an enduring passion for safety pins as decoration.
When I bought the shirt, I was so excited about the pins that I barely registered that the lettering behind them says, "In Love We Trust." Ugh! I am not about the word "love" in fashion or jewelry. Hearts are fine with me, because they can be made visually interesting, but writing out "love" makes me think of those script nameplate necklaces that read "Love" and "Breathe" and "Faith." Those are everywhere; you can get them from any Chinese jewelry manufacturer at any price. So unimaginative! When it comes to word necklaces I prefer funny, edgy concepts like IDGAF, TWERK, BOSSY and NINJA. But, seeing as I was stuck with the shirt, I chopped off the short sleeves and finally wore it. I was gratified when my son-in-law said, "Cool safety pins." He didn't notice the text either!
Speaking of safety pins, one of the first pieces I wanted to create when I started designing jewelry in 2005 was a gold and diamond safety pin. While I was playing around with my idea, I decided that so many people had already done safety-pin jewelry that I was "too late." Since that time, I'd say hundreds, if not thousands, of new safety-pin designs have come out. I learned a lesson there. Trends can last a decade and some jewelry themes — snakes, for instance — are eternal. Even the expression "There is nothing new under the sun" is ancient! (It's been around since Old Testament times.) Now I go where my inspiration takes me and trust that my interpretation of a theme is what will make my version special. Hmmm. Now that I think of it, even the "Love" necklace concept could be Wendy-ized. Stay tuned!

In case you missed it, here's what was on the blog this week:
- Wednesday: What I wore to Zang Toi's 25th anniversary show. Plus, People blames the celebrities affected by the nude-photo-hacking incident.
- Thursday: The thirteenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
- Friday: The Jewel of the Month is the PUSHY necklace, as seen on journalist Jill Abramson.
By the way, People has not responded to my request for a comment on the awful item it ran. The magazine has ignored me on Twitter and I've already contacted the public relations office by phone (once) and by email (twice). I look forward to contacting them again tomorrow!
Friday, September 12, 2014
Zang Toi's Spring 2015 runway show this week reminded me that I had an outfit photo with a Zang dress that I've been meaning to post since May!
What Wendy Wore
Dress: Zang Toi (2007?)
Purse: Prada (2007)
Shoes: Prada (2010)
I'd have to ask Zang exactly what season this dress is from, but I probably got it in 2007, seeing as the first photo I have of it is from September of that year.
I wore it to a dinner for Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. RCFP provides free legal assistance to journalists.
The dinner took place five days after the controversial firing of New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson — the first woman to hold that job at the paper. One of the dinner honorees happened to be New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger. (Note: MrB and I know both Jill and Arthur.)
The dinner attendees were quite titillated by this, but, while Arthur praised Jill as a "powerful and outspoken advocate for a free press," he didn't say anything specific about recent events in his speech. (Looking back through my email from that night, I see that I emailed myself that short quote from Arthur just a few minutes after emailing a friend at a noisy nearby table, "Tell your table to be quiet! You're like the bad kids in the back of the classroom!!" My friend replied, "They're all lawyers, what do you expect.")
Ten days later, both Jill and Arthur attended the Pulitzer Prize lunch. MrB — who was a member of the Pulitzer board from 1999 to 2007, and the chairman of the board in his final year — accompanied Jill. After, he told me that a photographer had corralled him, Jill, Arthur and Stephen Adler of Reuters for the journalism equivalent of an awkward family photo. It wasn't released to the Columbia Journalism Review until about a month later.
"On May 28, Columbia University photographer Eileen Barroso captured a historic, if uncomfortable New York Times moment at the Pulitzer Prize luncheon: the last portrait of former Executive Editor Jill Abramson and Publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. in public together for what will likely be a long time."
Every time I look at this photo I laugh out loud. Look at MrB's face! He's like, "OMG!!!! I CAN'T EVEN!"
Speaking of Jill, I wrote in May that her experience gave me the inspiration for a new word necklace: PUSHY. I did indeed follow through on that and sent Jill a gold-plated silver necklace as a gift. I was very excited when she emailed me last week to tell me she had worn the necklace for a video interview she did at Re/code's Code/Media New York event. On Re/code's site, the introduction to Jill's interview reads:
"Jill Abramson says she can't explain, precisely, why she was fired from the New York Times' top editing job in May. But she's happy to talk about it.
And she's happy to wink at her situation as well, by showing up to an interview with Re/code's Kara Swisher wearing a necklace with charms that spell out 'Pushy.'"
Woot! Here's a screen cap that shows the necklace.
Jill had a very interesting conversation with Kara (I also know Kara; in fact, I once tumbled through a hole in the floor of her under-renovation house). I recommend you watch it all 35 minutes of the interview. Jill's just a cool, smart, groundbreaking, badass lady. And I love that she's flaunting her tats in the sleeveless dress she wore.
I figure this makes it the right time for the PUSHY necklace to be my Jewel of the Month. The piece is made to order and available in silver …
… and 18K gold.
Here's how the gold version looks on my gorgeous right-hand woman Eryn.
If you're a badass woman but PUSHY isn't your thing, you might be interested in May's Jewels of the Months: my BOSS and BOSSY necklaces. I also do custom word necklaces, so if you don't find what you want among the 22 (and counting!) word necklace styles on my website, holla at me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com with your request.

I have not yet been to 9/11 Memorial Museum, but acquaintances who have gone photographed a display that tells the story of the Wall Street Journal's Sept. 12, 2001, issue.
That quote across the top — "I want a six-column headline!" — is from MrB. He was the managing editor of the Wall Street Journal from 1991 to 2007. In 2001, the paper's offices were in the World Financial Center, across the street from the World Trade Center. I was in a different part of the World Financial Center, working for Lehman Brothers. When I heard a tremendous explosion at 8:46 a.m. on September 11, I ran to a window and saw debris falling down, but I couldn't make out what had happened. As I've written before, I hurried back to my desk and started sending emails, locating my employees, and checking CNN online. I also called MrB and asked, "What was that explosion at the World Trade Center?", hoping that his journalists would already have the answer. MrB asked, "What explosion?" I said, "The one that shook this whole building! I think you better go look out the window!" and hung up to continue searching for news. Reports that a plane had hit the World Trade Center's North Tower started popping up on the web. At first, there was speculation that it was an accident, but then, at 9:03 a.m., the second plane struck the South Tower. I called MrB again while I tried to get my few employees organized to leave the building. He and I agreed to meet between our buildings, but when I walked outside, I was blocked from going towards our meeting spot. I didn't have a cell phone then, and, even if I had, cell phones weren't working. I had a working (non-phone-enabled) BlackBerry, but MrB didn't have one, so that was it for communicating with him.
Instead, I emailed with a colleague in London, who was watching the news on the BBC. He told me about the attack on the Pentagon and advised me to head uptown quickly. Thanks to him, my group was safely away when the first tower came down. I said nervously to the people around me, "I'm sure MrB is okay. We left at the same time and we're okay, so he must be okay too." I figured he would have been heading north, away from the WTC, like us. I didn't realize he had been forced to exit south. The Trade Center and surrounding buildings were on the tip of Manhattan, right next to the water, so there was no way for MrB and thousands of other people to put any distance between themselves and the catastrophe. The choking dust and debris from the collapsing buildings rained down upon them. MrB covered his mouth and nose with his tie. Later, he said:
"I remember saying to myself, 'You don't die of smoke inhalation in the open air' … It's not always true, I knew, but it was a nice thing to tell myself at the time."
I made it to my friend Kevin's apartment and used his home phone to leave messages for MrB. Eventually, MrB, who'd gotten home by foot and bus, called me back. I'd been fairly calm till then, but as soon as I heard MrB's voice, I bawled, "I CAN'T FIND RANDI!" Before I left the World Financial Center, I had darted back and forth between my office and my employee Randi's desk several times, but I didn't see her. I called her extension and got no answer. I thought she might have left ahead of me, so I went to the lobby to meet my other people, but I kept worrying. When I got to Kevin's apartment, I tried to call Randi at home, but I didn't have her number, and when I called information, it turned out she was unlisted. MrB told me he'd take care of everything and he did, calling 411 and telling the operator that during a national emergency, she simply had to give him the unlisted number. She did and then we all took turns calling Randi's home answering machine to enjoy her outgoing message, recorded in her fabulous New Yawk accent: "Randi and Ross are safe from the explosion."
It's still amazing to me that MrB took the time to do this while helping to coordinate the Wall Street Journal's Pulitzer-Prize-winning next-day coverage of the terrorist attack. Thank you, MrB. You're my hero.
To fully understand the huge effort the paper's staff put in to cover the the news after having to abandon the New York office, read this 2011 story by Roy J. Harris Jr.:
"How The Wall Street Journal's improvised 9/11 battle plan helped it to a Pulitzer."
And, as I've mentioned before, one of the standout stories in the September 12 issue was written by John Bussey, who was still in the Journal's office when the Twin Towers came down:
- "I Thought Everybody Else Was Lost"
- 10 Years Later: "Essential Acts of Witness"
- 10 Years Later: The Weak Horse

Florida's Matthias signs in Austrian league
Dec 3, 2012, 11:33 AM EDT
Panthers forward Shawn Matthias has agreed to a lockout deal with EHC Black Wings Linz of the Austrian league, according to the team website.
Mattias, 24, is coming off the finest season of his four-year NHL career, scoring 10G-14A-24PTS in 79 games. He also appeared in all seven games of Florida's opening round playoff loss to New Jersey, notching one assist while averaging over 11 minutes a night.
With Linz, Mattias will join a handful of ex-NHLers — Pat Leahy, David LeNeveu, Curtis Murphy — and will also join a growing number of locked-out players suiting up in the Erste Bank Eishockey Liga, the top flight of professional hockey in Austria.
Thomas Vanek, David Clarkson, Tobias Enstrom, Derek Dorsett, Andrew Cogliano, Johnny Boychuk, Derick Brassard, Sam Gagner, Tyler Myers, Michael Grabner, Andreas Nodl and Bryan Bickell have all signed on with Austrian clubs, though it should be noted a few (Vanek, Clarkson and Enstrom most notably) have since returned to North America.
Matthias is in the final year of a two-year, $1.7 million deal with the Panthers. He was acquired from Detroit in 2007 as part of the Todd Bertuzzi trade.

350 dead, thousands missing in Afghan landslides
A map locating the district of Argo
Villagers at the disaster site in Badakhshan province used shovels to dig through rocks and dirt, with local authorities, the United Nations and the NATO military force all racing to assess the damage and provide help.
"Two successive landslides within one hour hit Aab Bareek village today," Gul Mohammad Baidaar, deputy governor of Badakhshan, told AFP.
"A hill collapsed on the village. Most of those missing had gathered in two mosques to offer Friday prayers. The second landslide hit locals who came to help."
Badakhshan governor Shah Waliullah Adeeb told AFP by telephone that the death toll be as high as 2,500.
"Our initial findings based on local people's reports show around 2,500 people including women and children might be dead," he said.
"It is difficult to get confirmed information from the scene and we are seeking to determine the facts."
Badakhshan is a remote, mountainous province in northeast Afghanistan bordering Tajikistan, China and Pakistan.
It has been relatively peaceful since the US-led military intervention began in 2001, but has seen increasing Taliban activity in recent years,
"The number of deceased has increased to 350," the UN mission in Afghanistan said in a statement.
"A response is being mobilised for those who survived but were displaced, with some partners already on the ground.
"(NATO's) Regional Command in the north (is) in contact with the Afghan National Army in regards to search and rescue efforts."
- Hunt for survivors -
President Hamid Karzai said immediate action was being taken, with rescuing survivors the priority for emergency efforts, which continued as darkness fell.
Local officials said that the landslides occurred at about midday (0730 GMT) in the Argo district after days of heavy rain.
Between 350 and 400 houses were destroyed, they said.
"It is a disaster. The landslide has affected around 1,000 families," Sayed Abdullah Homayun Dehqan, provincial director of the Afghan National Disaster Management Authority, told AFP.
"Around 300 families are missing, that could involve around 2,000 people. People are working to remove the rocks, so far three bodies have been recovered.
"Around 700 families were rescued, we have sent in some basic assistance such as tents and blankets."
US President Barack Obama also expressed his condolences over the disaster, saying "our thoughts are with the people of Afghanistan who have experienced an awful tragedy."
"We stand ready to help our Afghan partners as they respond to this disaster," Obama said at a press conference in Washington with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The UN said that it was helping to coordinate local authorities to rescue survivors, but that road access to the area could not take heavy machinery.
- Severe flooding -
The disaster follows recent severe flooding in other parts of northern Afghanistan, with 150 people dead and 67,000 people affected by floods in Jowzjan, Faryab and Sar-e-Pul provinces.
Nearly 3,500 houses were damaged and destroyed by the floods, creating an urgent need for shelter, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Thursday.
It said clean water, medical supplies, food and shelter were needed immediately as relief efforts were stepped up.
The floodwaters swept through villages, engulfing thousands of homes and leaving many people seeking safety on the roofs of their mud-brick houses.
The floods destroyed farmland and also killed livestock across the remote region.
Flooding and landslides often occur during the spring rainy season in northern Afghanistan, with flimsy mud houses offering little protection against rising water levels and torrents of mud.
In the last major flooding in Afghanistan, 40 people died in August in flash floods in eastern and southeastern provinces and some districts of the capital Kabul.
Neighbouring Pakistan suffered the worst floods in its history in 2010, when almost 1,800 people died and 21 million people were affected.
Afghanistan is in the middle of presidential elections, with former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah and ex-World Bank economist Ashraf Ghani due to compete in a head-to-head vote on June 7.
Preliminary results from the first round of elections on April 5, in which eight candidates ran, showed none gained the 50 percent needed for a decisive victory.
