Louis Vuitton's Ladylike Fetishism!

(FWD) If anyone doubts that this is the most covered up European fashion season in memory, then they should check out the latest fall 2011 collection by Louis Vuitton, where even though the theme was fetishism, there was practically no flesh on display.

French maids suggestively dusted down the stairs at the entrance to this show, staged in a courtyard in the Louvre on Wednesday, March 9, in Paris, the last day of shows of a four-city season lasting one month.

Models in suggestive uniforms with tiny plastic masks, S&M corsets, mini handcuffs and bits of bondage hit the glassy black catwalk, though in the most ladylike of doses.

"I just love the idea of revealing something, and not giving everything away, you know, at the first moment of keeping something covered," explained Vuitton's creative director Marc Jacobs backstage. "Some things were strict but some things were quite saucy, almost innocent. Everything was covered up, there was no skin, I mean very little skin, some girls didn't wear any skirts so they showed their legs, yet it was conservative."

Jacobs also served up lots of great products, from nipped waists yet voluminous coats, often worn with just boots, snazzy pencil skirts and high-waisted jodhpurs that all looked great. And there was plenty of firepower in the accessories - suggestive rubber riding boots with high heels or lacy fetish booties, LV-stamped totes or commercial and cool fur shoulder bags.

This Vuitton show was the most polished of any of the some 400 shows on any official calendar. In a brilliant piece of production, the house built four faux antique elevators, which liveried porters opened for the naughty models. Even the wrought iron gates were custom made with built-in LV initials.

It was a no expenses spared moment of frothy Parisian panache by an American designer at the height of his game.

*Louis Vuitton is a fabulous brand that has stood out and lasted for years. The classic pieces are always a winner as well as the new hip modern pieces that seem to be something to rave about.  Marc Jacobs is at the top of his fashion game, with his "intimate and steady fashion creativity." It's amazing what he comes up with season after season. It's all you can do, to not lose your mind over the next LV purse or shoes or something! This is what fashion is all about; Louis Vuitton! Have a piece!*

The 7-year itch is now the 3-year glitch!

(Reuters) The "three-year glitch" has replaced the "seven-year itch" as the tipping point where couples start to take each other for granted, according to a new survey.

Weight gain, stinginess, toe-nail clippings on the bathroom floor and snoring are a few of the passion-killers that have led to a swifter decline in relationships in the fast-paced 21st century, said the study commissioned by Warner Brothers to promote the release of comedy film "Hall Pass" in UK cinemas.

The survey of 2,000 British adults in steady relationships pinpointed the 36-month mark as the time when relationship stress levels peak and points to a new trend of "pink passes" and "solo" holidays away from partners and spouses that many Britons resort to in order to keep romance alive.

"Longer working hours combined with money worries are clearly taking their toll on modern relationships and we are seeing an increasing trend for solo holidays and weekends away from marriages and relationships in order to revive the romantic spark," said pollster Judi James who oversaw the survey.

The poll compared feedback from those in short-term relationships (defined as less than three years) and people who were married or in longer-term partnerships.

The findings showed that 67 percent of all of those surveyed said that small irritations which are seemingly harmless and often endearing during the first flushes of love often expand into major irritations around 36 months.

More than half of the Brits surveyed (52 percent) who were in younger relationships said they enjoyed sexual relations at least three times a week, compared to just 16 percent of those in relationships older than three years.

This suggests that as we get older together, romance gives way to day to day practicalities, supported by the fact that 55 percent of busy people in longer-term relationships admit that they now have to "schedule" their romantic time.

The report also said that those in the first flush of love can look forward to an average of three compliments a week from their partners - a figure which falls to an average of a single weekly compliment at the three-year high tide mark.

The prognosis gets worse the longer we stay in relationships, three in 10 of those surveyed that have been in a relationship for five years or more said that they never receive any compliments from their partners.

The findings also showed that more than three quarters (76 percent) of all people surveyed responded that "individual space was important" within a relationship and pointed to a rise of individual activities.

A third (34%) of those who have been seeing their partners for longer than three years have at least two evenings a month defined as a "pass" or a "ticket" where it is accepted that they can pursue their own interests and 58 percent of the same sample group enjoy regular holidays without their partners.

The top 10 everyday niggles and passion-killers: 1. Weight gain/lack of exercise, 13 percent; 2. Money & Spend thriftiness, 11 percent; 3. Anti-social working hours, 10 percent; 4. Hygiene issues (personal cleanliness), 9 percent; 5. In-Laws/extended family - too much/too little, 9 percent; 6. Lack of romance (sex, treats etc.), 8 percent; 7. Alcohol - drinking too much, 7 percent; 8. Snoring & anti social bedtime habits, 6 percent; 9. Lapsed fashion-Same old underwear/clothes, 4 percent; 10. Bathroom habits - Stray nail cuttings etc., 4 percent.


*This is a very interesting article to judge how a couple thinks vs. what a couple really thinks. It's apparent that relationships don't survive because individuals "don't look before they leap." So many people find themselves caught up in dead-end relationships because they had preconceived notions about the individual before truly getting to know them.  Another factor, as to why people so-called get a itch to leave is; they have completely given up and checked out. It has nothing to do with a busy schedule or this or that; it's comes down to, how hard do you want to work at maintaining a spicy, and fulfilling relationship.*

Eating disorders hit more than half million teens!

(AP) More than half a million U.S. teens have had an eating disorder but few have sought treatment for the problem, government research shows.

The study is billed as the largest and most comprehensive analysis of eating disorders. It involved nationally representative data on more than 10,000 teens aged 13 to 18.

Binge-eating disorder was the most common, affecting more than 1.5 percent of kids studied. Just under 1 percent had experienced bulimia, and 0.3 percent had had anorexia. Overall, 3 percent had a lifetime prevalence of one of the disorders. Another 3 percent of kids questioned had troubling symptoms but not full-fledged eating disorders.

The study was released online Monday in Archives of General Psychiatry.

The rates are slightly higher than in other studies. And the study is based on kids and parents interviewed over two years ending in 2004. But co-author and researcher Kathleen Merikangas of the National Institute of Mental Health says similar rates likely exist today.

More than half the affected teens had depression, anxiety or some other mental disorder. Sizeable numbers also reported suicide thoughts or attempts.

Merikangas said the results underscore the seriousness of eating disorders.


*This is a troubling study on so many levels. We all know of someone or someone who has had an eating disorder. It can hurt you and even kill you! The bottom line is, many of our youth is stuck on how they look or how they don't look. Many are concerned with the outside appearance than the overall aspect of themselves.  The truth is that, many parents need to pay more attention to your kids and their eating habits. That goes for parents of obese kids as well. Parents also need to educate themselves on the dangers and the signs of a possible eating disorder in the works. All in all, if more parents, and community members educate themselves and leave the DENIAL out, then maybe there can be an intervention before it gets out of hand.*

Jewish groups oppose circumcision ban in US city!

(AFP) Jewish groups and others are up at arms over an attempt to outlaw male circumcision in San Francisco by putting the issue to a popular vote.

Self-described "intactivist" Lloyd Schofield has been collecting signatures for a voter initiative that would criminalize infant circumcision in the Californian city.

After two months of collecting names, he claims to be more than half way toward getting the 7,168 signatures he needs by late April to put the matter on the November ballot.

Schofield and a growing community of anti-circumcision activists say that infants should not be forced to participate in what is essentially culturally accepted genital mutilation.

They claim that the procedure can cause health risks and diminished sexual function and compare it to the clitoridectomies performed on girls in parts of Africa.

"This is a human rights issue," he said. "What you're doing is you're taking an infant and removing the most sensitive part of their body."

Jewish organizations have pledged to fight the measure should it be placed on the ballot. Anti-Defamation League director Daniel Sandman called Schofield's effort discriminatory and misguided.

"This is hurtful and offensive to people in the community who consider this a coveted ritual," he said.

Abby Porth of the Jewish Community Relations Council charged Schofield with wasting city resources for an inappropriate political stunt that was unlikely to become law.

"This is one of the most fundamental practices to our tradition of over 3,000 years," she said. "It's symbolic of our covenant with God."

Porth said the Jewish community would form a coalition against the initiative with medical professionals and Muslims, who also practice circumcision.

"It's very similar to those of the Jewish faith," said Omar Nawaz of the Bay Area-based Zaytuna College, one of the nation's only Muslim colleges. "It's a religious tradition and it's important for us."

Both pro- and anti-circumcision advocates make health claims, but the medical research does not firmly support either position.

The American Academy of Pediatrics holds that there are both benefits and risks to infant circumcision, and recommends that parents make the choice for themselves.

Several other health bodies are reviewing the evidence on circumcision with an eye to new policy recommendations.

Circumcision rates among US male infants have dropped in recent decades, but more than half of newborns are still circumcised, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

If the ban is approved, those caught cutting the foreskins of infants and other minors would face up to a year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines.

The ban would certainly face legal challenges, and could be found in violation of the First Amendment right to Freedom of Religion.
 
However, it would not be subject to legislative amendment.
 
California's unique voter initiative system allows residents to place virtually anything on the ballot so long as they secure the requisite signatures.
 
Many of California's most controversial and restrictive policies have been passed this way, among them a drastic reduction in property taxes and a ban on gay marriage.
 
San Francisco resident Mark Reiss, who grew up in an Orthodox Jewish home, is among a vocal community of circumcised men who say they struggle with the emotional and physical effects of circumcision.
 
He runs a website that lists rabbis nationwide who will preside over a naming ritual similar to the one performed at Jewish circumcisions but with no cutting.
 
Schofeld said that the issue is not one of cultural practice, but of individual freedom.

"This is a painful and irreversible surgery," Schofield said. "It's a man's body. It's his right to choose and we're trying to preserve that choice."


*WOW! The lengths people/groups will go to put people in jail. I have to ask; isn't circumcision up to the parents? Don't we have enough people in jail for little things? Aren't the jails already crowded? This goes way beyond ridiculous on so many levels! This just goes to show that people will always have something to complain about and make a headline with. It's people like this that have nothing better to do but complain and saturate the media with simple minded things like this. Why must we (the rest of America) be subjected to mess like this?  All in all, it should be up to the parent (s) if they want their son circumcised. It's clear as day; do it or not do it. No law should be in place to put a parents in jail just because they circumcise their son. GIVE ME A BREAK!

Watch out for these 10 common scams!

(consumerreports.org) Whether it’s fake checks, bogus products and services, or identity theft, it seems as if there’s always someone out there trying to make suckers out of us. In the first six months of 2010, scams reported to the fraud center at the National Consumers League cost victims an average of $810.

It’s not always easy to spot a scam, even for savvy consumers. That’s why you should always be vigilant and take general precautions. Here are some common schemes.

Merchandise fraud

Say you find a really great deal on a digital camera at an online retailer. But shortly after placing your order, you get a phone call from a company representative trying to sell you extra lenses, a fancy case, and other pricey add-ons. You refuse the high-pressure sales pitch, and later you’re notified that the camera is no longer in stock. Or it never arrives.

Nonexistent or misrepresented merchandise on the Internet was the fraud center’s top complaint in the first half of 2010, with an average loss of $931. That doesn’t include fraud involving online auctions, which ranked eighth.

What to do

Check out sellers you’re unfamiliar with before buying anything from them. To start, find out whether a company has a report and rating with the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org).


If you’re victimized after paying with cash or by check, you could be out of luck. So use a credit card, especially when buying online or over the phone. If the order doesn’t arrive, you can challenge the purchase under federal credit-card rules. Debit-card purchases offer less protection, although some banks voluntarily provide additional safeguards.

Incidentally, to reduce the risk of unauthorized charges, you might want to consider using a temporary "virtual" or "online" credit-card number, if your bank offers one, for purchases on the Web. In most cases you can request one on the issuer’s website. Citibank offers virtual-card software you can install on your computer. You can limit the time the virtual number is active and the maximum amount that can be charged.

Fake checks

These schemes come under many guises. Bogus checks can be used to pay for something you’re selling, such as a used car. Or someone might contact you about a "work at home" opportunity or sweepstakes that you supposedly won. He or she might use a fake check to pay you, with instructions to deposit it and then wire a portion of the proceeds to another party, perhaps to pay "required" fees or taxes. In many cases, these scams involve what appear to be certified or bank checks—but that’s no guarantee that they’re legitimate. If you deposit or cash a phony check at your bank, it will bounce and your bank will come after you to settle up.

Fake check fraud was the National Consumers League’s top scam in 2009; it’s now No. 2, representing one in four of the complaint reports that the group receives. The trick costs victims an average of $371.

What to do

Before depositing a check from an unfamiliar source, check with the institution whose name appears on it. And because the bank’s contact information on the check could belong to the scammer, search for the institution’s phone number and address separately.

Phishing, spoofing, and identity theft

Scammers use e-mail messages, phone calls, and other ways to trick people into revealing their passwords, credit-card and Social Security numbers, and other personal information they can use to steal identities, open credit lines, and the like.

What to do

Don’t respond to e-mail messages or phone calls asking for your passwords or other personal information, no matter how urgent the appeal. Instead, contact your bank or other party to see if it made the request.

Don’t click on hyperlinks you receive in e-mail messages, and carefully type web addresses into your browser to avoid typos. Scammers sometimes set up bogus sites using common misspellings of legitimate web addresses, a practice known as "typosquatting."


Keep your computer’s antivirus and antiphishing software up-to-date. And consider using a browser plug-in, such the free McAfee SiteAdvisor (www.siteadvisor.com), which warns about phishing websites and those that transmit viruses.

The grandparent scam

This one comes as a call from a family member, perhaps someone who identifies himself as your grandson, saying he needs help. The story might be that he was in an accident or arrested while traveling outside the country and needs you to wire emergency money, often to Canada. Such calls have cost victims thousands of dollars.

What to do

Don’t give money to anyone without verifying his or her identity. If you get a call from a friend or relative asking for help, politely hang up and call the person’s home or cell-phone number to find out if they made the call and the emergency is real. You can also call relatives to help determine that the call is legit.

Travel deals with catches

These vacation offers can often be found at fairs and trade shows, or they might come in unsolicited phone calls, faxes, e-mail, or postcards. They’re often used to entice you to attend sales promotions, say, for a vacation time-share. But some are simply stand-alone offers for trips. Despite the hype, the vacations are usually anything but free or even bargain-priced.

After attending the sales pitch, you might find that you’re ineligible for the promised trip because you didn’t comply with hidden or hard-to-understand terms and conditions. Available travel dates might be limited and accommodations awful unless you pay for upgrades.

What to do

Forget about this type of vacation. If a business has to offer free trips to generate interest, its products or services probably aren’t worth considering.

Poorly disclosed extras

After buying a product or service, you find that you’re being charged for something you never meant to order. Maybe it’s rustproofing for a new car at a dealership, or a club membership or subscription.

Details about extras might be buried in a contract or a website’s fine print. Some companies pass credit-card information to third-parties who are ready to charge the minute customers click an "OK" button online or unknowingly give consent.

What to do

Read everything carefully before you sign or click. Question anything that’s unclear, and don’t proceed until you’re satisfied with the answers.

Phony charities

It could come as e-mail or a phone call urging you to help some cause that might be in the news or tugs at your heartstrings. Some charities are outright frauds; others do little, if anything, to help a cause.

What to do

Don’t respond immediately to a solicitation. Instead, check out the group with the major charity watchdogs: the American Institute of Philanthropy (www.charitywatch.org); the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance (www.give.org); and the Charity Navigator (www.charitynavigator.org). And make sure you’re dealing with the right group. Many con artists use names similar to legitimate charities. For local groups that don’t appear on watchdog reports, ask the charity for further information, or donate through a local fundraising federation, such as the United Way, that screens groups.

If you want to help during an emergency, such as a flood or famine, stick with major established charities such as the Red Cross. Charity watchdogs often post names of legitimate groups that help victims.

Health-products fraud

Scammers are always ready to strike after reports of promising dietary supplements and other "medical breakthroughs" hit the news. Websites spring up overnight hawking products—acai berry supplements, for example—even though there’s scant evidence of their benefits. The sites might feature celebrity "experts" or phony "reader" comments. Many offer free trials in order to get your credit- or debit-card number and then enroll you in ongoing fee-based programs.

What to do

Buy health products only from companies you know and trust. Double-check the terms and conditions if you’re signing up for a free trial that requires you to give payment information.

Sweepstakes scams

Who doesn’t want to win a big prize? But if you respond to mail declaring that you’re a finalist, or even a winner, the only ones who’ll be stuffing their pockets will be the scammers who sent it to you.

Many of these mailings or prize-related phone calls imply that buying something increases your chances of winning. In another variation, you might be told that you have to mail an advance payment to cover taxes, shipping and handling, or other incidental costs of processing or delivering your fabulous prize. Of course, you’ll get nothing in return.

What to do

By law, buying services or merchandise can’t increase your odds of winning a sweepstakes. Just saying no if you’re asked to respond to a prize or sweepstakes promotion will increase your odds—of not getting ripped off.

Advance-fee loans

This one involves companies promising to get you a loan or credit card even if you have bad credit. But after paying the required fee, you might not hear from the company again, or you might be offered a debit or stored-value card. Such offers appear in ads or on websites run by companies that engage in this type of "service." It’s illegal for a company doing business by phone to promise a loan and require a fee before it’s delivered.

What to do

Avoid companies that promise to get you a loan but don’t seem interested in your credit history, the Federal Trade Commission warns. And never pay an advance fee for a loan, even if it’s for "insurance," "processing," or "paperwork."


*Anyone who has common sense should know not to fall for these bogus scams. It's pretty obvious when you see them coming back to back as spam. These scams are all over the internet, and many of these people work in groups over seas in places like "Nigeria." If you see any of these things in your email; delete them or foward them to the authories.  These sick and twisted people will stop at nothing to scam you out of your hard earned money.

Woman gets traffic tickets in Md. deaths!

(AP) The Frederick County Sheriff's Office says it has issued two traffic tickets to a woman who accidentally killed three fellow churchgoers with her car in Emmitsburg in August.

Cpl. Jennifer Bailey said Friday that 63-year-old Mary Camilleri, of Fayetteville, Pa., received citations for unsafe backing and negligent driving.

Bailey says Camilleri was trying to parallel park her Mercury Mountaineer SUV when she struck a group of people leaving St. Joseph's Catholic Church Aug. 12.

Killed were 89-year-old Marian Derosa of Emmitsburg, her daughter Patricia Mauro-Cillo and son-in-law John Cillo.

Bailey says the investigation is now closed.

*All we can say is "WOW!" I can't believe this woman didn't go to prison for this incident. Are people in the Frederick County Sheriff's Office CRAZY, DUMB Or Schizo?!? Truly, if this was anyone else; say, younger, black or what they deem as white trash, their ass would of been convicted in a flash. The tragedy really is, that people died and the families have to suffer. Also, that this lady whose 63 years old may do it again. Again,WOW!

Day care operator faces 4 manslaughter charges!

A Houston day care operator accused of leaving the children she was watching alone when a fire broke out at the facility has been charged with manslaughter in the deaths of four of them, federal officials said Friday.

The U.S. Marshals Service announced in a news release that the new indictments were handed down Thursday by a grand jury in Houston. She had already been charged with seven counts of reckless injury to a child and three counts of abandoning a child.

Authorities believe Tata, 22, a U.S. citizen, fled to Nigeria before she could be charged in the case.

Investigators say Tata was shopping and had left the seven children she was taking care of alone on Feb. 24 when the fire began. They say surveillance video shows she was at a nearby Target store at the time.

Attempts by The Associated Press to contact Tata's family in person and by phone at multiple addresses and telephone listings have been unsuccessful.

Investigators believe the fire was started by a stove top burner that had been left on. Tata told investigators the fire started in the kitchen while she was in the bathroom.

The blaze also injured three other children. Two of the injured children remained hospitalized in good condition Friday at Shiners Hospital for Children in Galveston.

The U.S. Marshals Service, which is leading the search for Tata, has put the day care operator on its list of the 15 most wanted fugitives and has offered a reward of up to $25,000.

Interpol, the international police agency, has alerted its member countries, including Nigeria, telling them that Tata is being sought by the United States.

While the new manslaughter charges have the same possible punishment as reckless injury to a child, up to 20 years in prison, they could help authorities with the extradition process if Tata is found and detained in Nigeria.

While reckless injury to a child and child abandonment are not necessarily covered by the extradition treaty between the United States and Nigeria, manslaughter is covered, said Douglas McNabb, a Houston attorney who specializes in international extradition law.


*This is a sad story about innocence lost. Whoever this "trash of a daycare worker is"; she needs to be found and brought to justice. Leaving kids alone in a daycare to go shopping at target is ridiculous and irresponsible! I'm sure that's why her ass fled to Nigeria to try and escape the charges. In any event, we all know the U.S. doesn't take to kindly to "child killers", so in due time she will be back to the U.S. to spend many years in prison. 

If anyone has seen this woman the "Houston daycare child killer"; "JESSICA TATA" please call authories and turn her ass in pronto!

President Obama denounces political spending cuts!

(Reuters) President Barack Obama said on Saturday that spending cuts to narrow the U.S. budget deficit must not be politically motivated or threaten the economy as it climbs out of recession.

Obama's fellow Democrats and Republicans in Congress have been debating how to best narrow the budget shortfall, with Republicans dismissing Democratic plans as far too timid to deal with a deficit projected to hit a record $1.65 trillion this year.

Obama said he was open to more spending cuts, but drew the line at slashing programs in a way that would be a risk to his top priorities -- investment in technological development, education and infrastructure.

"Getting our fiscal house in order can't just be something we use as cover to do away with things we dislike politically. And it can't just be about how much we cut. It's got to be about how we cut and how we invest," Obama said in his weekly radio address, recorded at a Miami high school where he spoke on Friday about the importance of funding for education.

Some Republicans have pushed to cut funding for public broadcasters, criticized by some conservatives as too liberal, or Planned Parenthood family planning centers, which also provide abortions.

Democrats have sought to preserve funding for Obama's landmark healthcare reform law enacted last year and for high priority environmental programs the administration wants.

HOW TO CREATE JOBS

Republicans have made spending cuts their top priority since Tea Party-aligned conservatives helped them win control of the House of Representatives in November.

They say their proposed reductions are essential to trim a dangerous shortfall.

"It (Obama's budget) continues out-of-control spending, it adds to our $14 trillion debt and it adds to the uncertainty that makes it harder to create jobs," Representative Diane Black said in the Republicans' weekly radio address.

"Maintaining the status quo -- and refusing to offer a credible plan to cut spending -- is just unacceptable and inexcusable," Black said.

Obama praised Democrats and Republicans in Congress for agreeing on a two-week spending bill that averted a government shutdown, but said legislators have to come up with a long-term spending plan.

"We can't do business two weeks at a time. It's not responsible, and it threatens the progress our economy has been making. We've got to keep that momentum going," he said.

Vice President Joe Biden met with top Republican and Democratic congressional leaders on Thursday in an opening round of White House-led budget talks.

Obama also cited an encouraging monthly unemployment report released on Friday as evidence that his economic programs, including a tax relief plan supported by both Republicans and Democrats, were working.

The U.S. jobless rate slipped to a nearly two-year low of 8.9 percent in February, showing the economy is finally kicking into a higher gear as private employers hired 222,000 workers, the most since April.

But Obama said more had to be done. "Our top priority right now has to be creating new jobs and opportunities in a fiercely competitive world," Obama said.


*It's always good to recognize when you have a President whose trying to stick to his agenda. Looking at the outlook on jobs, it's still bleek and not enough. Looking at the outlook on education, it's still in the toilet and the worse of the worse. Looking at the outlook on technology, well, that's growing like wild flowers! Looking at the outlook on the federal deficit, well, that's growing like a dead person's hair!

Understanding what has to be done to bring the deficit down is very complicated. The democrats and Republicans will not have a solution in a month. "IT TAKES TIME!"

Seeing the jobless rate slip isn't the whole story. You still have millions of people out of work, and hungry. You still have millions of people pissed off because of layoffs and other under-handed mess going on. You still have Americans worried about their financial outlooks period. 

All in all, when it comes to the budget and spending in gov't, it's their responsibility to see it through, but in the right way possible. Not in the way of just the republicans or the democrats, but for the greater good of the American People!
