finding pockets of air, spaces to breathe
Heart is still weighed down but here is some of what has been helping. I share it with you and hope you find some heart ease. Take care. Self-care is resistance.
- Alexis Pauline Gumbs, poethealer and spinner of love webs, offers up a poem for the family we never got to meet: 'pulse'
but now i am pulse
and now you
are flame.
- a love spell for our grieving queer hearts. A ritual whose energy I returned to by brewing the herbs I cast into a heart heal tea this morning.
I cast Lemon Balm for broken hearts,
I cast Motherwort to hold us,
I cast Sage for those risen to ancestor,
I cast Rosemary as we remember,
I cast Rose for love, always.
- In praise of Latin Night at the Queer Club, and the ways we made it sacred ground (or an ode to that one time you and that hard femme shared lipstick and then shared lipstick and broke apart as Selena came on and you rushed the dancefloor)
Outside, tomorrow, hangovers, regrets, the grind. Outside, tomorrow, the struggle to effect change. But inside, tonight, none of that matters. Inside, tonight, the only imperative is to love.
- Alexis J. Cunningfolk has a few suggestions for more herbs that heal in times of tragedy
While the following is only a short list of suggestions, I am working on a much larger resource on herbs and trauma that I'll be sharing freely with folks in the coming weeks. I'll post about it on my blog and the various social media outlets where I can be found.
- Chani offers her starlit insight to guide us through this week
Saturn square Neptune (especially in this highly mutable astrological moment) can lend to feelings of confusion, disassociation and disenfranchisement. This is the point in the cycle at which we can no longer deny what is falling down, what is failing completely and what needs to be dealt with and dissolved...When we honestly look at how the structures that we are up against (Saturn) clash with the dreams we have for our lives (Neptune), we stand at the cross section of what needs to be done and what could be created.
- 6 O'clock Blues, a song by Solange Knowles eased my heart and reminded me of the shelter we have been and will continue to be for each other. I dedicate this to my queer and trans family.
They can sell me a story
And tell me we're in danger
But our love will never die..
Cause people don't make the world go round like they used to
But I know if I got one thing
Baby I know got you
You keep me sheltered from the six o'clock blues
Yeah, you keep me sheltered
From the six o'clock blues
And if I know one thing is gonna be alright
Then I know that's it's me and you
- love is shadowmagic and it reaches out to those we lost and loved so deeply even without knowing
No, it won't fix everything, but love has often been the chosen tool/weapon/magic chosen by those of us who find ourselves at the bottom of the food chain because of its potential, for power, for release, for a freedom of our own making, for a possibility of loving ourselves so deeply that anything less is unacceptable.
Love is shadowmagic.
love survives; Three of Swords from The Morgan-Greer Tarot

text: Finding Fall Walleye Mike Gnatkowski - September 14, 2016 Photo by Ron Sinfelt There is a migration of epic proportions in the fall for savvy walleye anglers. There is a migration of epic proportions in the fall that savvy walleye anglers need to stay in tune with if they plan on making big catches of trophy walleyes. A host of minnows, panfish and other potential baitfish migrate from deep water and the security of weeds to the shallows in the fall.Hungry walleyes are right on their heels. Walleyes know it's a bounty they need to take advantage of in order to bulk up for the winter. Anglers should take note, too."When it comes to walleyes, late fall is one of the best times to catch a trophy of a lifetime," said guide Brian Brosdahl. "Walleyes are in a heightened level of activity then and they're really putting on the feedbag. They're much easier to catch if you know where to look."Usually, the place to look is shallow. Emerald shiners are pelagic fish schooling over deeper water during most of the year, feeding on microscopic organisms and zooplankton. In the fall, they head shallow along with spottail shiners. Bait dealers know that. It's when they collect their minnow supply for the year. Both species spawn in late spring or early summer, so it's not a spawning run. Spottails likely move shallow because they are forced from the weeds they usually reside in. Emerald shiners move shallow to find more hospitable conditions. The same migration beckons to ravenous walleyes and other game fish. "I have seen unbelievable swarms of emerald shiners in the fall where you find a current seam or break or weed edge between deep water and a shallow bay," offered Brosdahl. "Sometimes you find them schooled near a river channel just on the edge." Spottail shiners spend most of their time in the relatively shallow water near weedbeds. As the shallow weeds die, schools of spottail shiners, as well as panfish, are forced to migrate to the remaining green weedbeds.WHAT TO LOOK FOR"Look for the greenest weeds you can find at the outside edge of bays that face deeper water," said Brosdahl. Eventually, those weeds die too and baitfish and panfish have to either slip off the first dropoff and huddle in terrified schools, or they migrate to the safety of the shallows. During this transition period, there are a lot of options as far as prime locations and it may take a little searching before you find the fish. Walleyes can be more difficult to find at this time of year because they're concentrated, on the move and transitioning from deeper to shallow water. You can count on the last green weeds to attract baitfish and walleyes. Once found, you know the walleys are going to eat."Key is locating the outside and inside edge of the weeds, either using your eyes and polarized glasses or your electronics," advised Brosdahl. "Make note of the depth of water where the weeds end because that is likely to be the depth weeds disappear all around the lake. Key is to locate still-green stands of cabbage, coontail and aquatic vegetation. Avoid anything that is beginning to brown. Walleyes may make daily migrations to the weeds at this stage or they might just take up residence."Baitfish flushed from the weeds often will slip over the first dropoff to bide their time, especially early in the fall. A great way to target fall walleyes then is to stealth-troll after dark. Walleyes will position at different locations along the dropoff depending on conditions. They might be right on top, along the slope, or right along the base of the dropoff poised to intercept minnow schools traveling the lip, along the base or pouring over the upper edge. Most times the walleyes will be at a very specific depth, but will move up and down the contour throughout the night. Using a bow-mounted trolling motor allows you to trace the contour quietly and in complete obscurity under the cover of darkness. Lines are let out using line-counter reels to very specific lengths to hug the contour. The idea is to cover a multitude of depths until you discover a hot pattern.Lures hugging the lip can be fished clean, whereas a few strategically placed No. 7 split shot crimped on 3 or 4 feet above the lure will help it trace the contour, keeping it in contact with the bottom, but allow it to ride slightly higher. Lines are let out at very specific lengths. Work up and down the contour, trolling slowly and quietly at 1.0 to 1.2 mph. Big Husky Jerk Rapalas, ThunderSticks and Rattlin' Rogues interest the biggest fish. Be sure to keep noise to a minimum and lights off the water because the walleyes there are on edge, but you've got a chance of catching a pig.Anglers have options other than trolling. "Just pitching an Impulse Smelt Minnow on a jig and ripping it through the weeds is a hoot," advised Brosdahl, and is the perfect way to trigger aggressive fish. "Rigging with live bait is a proven fall tactic, too."Brosdahl said that big chubs, golden shiners or even jumbo suckers are perfect for targeting the biggest fall walleyes. Brosdahl advised using 3- to 4-foot clear leaders in clear water and shorter leaders when the water is colored up, or if you're fishing where there's a lot of wood and obstructions. Pin the bait to a big Gamakatsu Kahle-style or salmon egg hook."Use a big hook," advised Brosdahl. "A No. 2 hook would be a minimum, and don't be afraid to go even bigger." Anchor the bait with a heavy enough weight to keep it in place. You can use an egg sinker, pencil lead or a snagless sinker like a Northland (northlandtackle.com) Rock-Runner Slip Bouncer or Roach Walker Sinker. Rig the weight to slip."When using a big bait like this you want to give the fish plenty of time to eat," he said. "Treat it like you would a pike. Feed line, give the walleye time to turn the bait and swallow it, reel up until you feel the fish and use a sweeping hookset."Use tough braid for a mainline and a fluorocarbon leader. Use a shorter leader in heavy cover and rocks.After a month or more, the migration reverses. The shallows begin to chill and fall winds and wave action mixes and re-oxygenates the water. Walleyes can now go wherever they want. Baitfish move back to the extreme shallows, and walleyes will be right on their heels. Using a boat may not be the best option then. You'll hear walleyes slashing baitfish in water so shallow you can't access it with a boat. Wading and casting from shore, breakwalls and jetties is the ticket then.Fall-spawning species such as whitefish, tullibee, menominee or round-whitefish, ciscoes and others move to the shallows in the fall, too. The majority of those species are too big for your average walleye to swallow, but not for a double-digit pig."A 10- or 12-pound walleye is not going to have any problem swallowing a 10-inch tulibee or menominee," said Brosdahl. "In fact, that's exactly what the biggest walleyes are looking for in the fall — big baits. You hear about how well big 4- to 8-inch chubs work in the fall for trophy walleyes. That's because those fish are looking for a big meal. A sizable, smooth-scaled chub is like a candy bar to a big walleye."Bear those words of wisdom in mind as you follow the food to more walleyes this month.MATCHING THE HATCH Although fall walleyes are not particular about what they eat as long as it's a mouthful, it's always better to use bait that matches the particular type of morsels that can be found in the body of water you're fishing. Because baitfish are concentrating in the shallows in the fall, it's easy to secure a supply of baitfish on your own.If you plan ahead, and where legal, you can set a minnow trap baited with cracker or bread crumbs in the shallows and secure a supply of bait overnight. Another option is to use a cast net or seine.Once you secure a supply of bait, it's important to keep it alive and kicking. An aerated bait bucket can extend bait life, even for multi-day fishing trips. Get Your Fish On. Plan your next fishing and boating adventure here.

My new apartment is coming together slowly, but surely. I still need to find a few things (living room rug, coffee table, throw pillows, etc), but I'm so excited that it's starting to take shape. Typically, I wouldn't describe my style as super girlie; I love leather furniture, large oriental rugs, and tartan throws. However, I figured since I have plenty of time for all that in the future, I should do an over-the-top ultra feminine apartment while I can.
I used these three photos for inspiration when designing my apartment. The vintage and modern pieces in the top two photos come together to create an eclectic feel and that's the look I'm going for. This works well for me because most of my furniture is something that has been in my family for years or auction finds, so nothing is too matchy, matchy.
Below are a few pieces I found at One Kings Lane that (in a dream world) I think would make the ultimate girlie girl apartment. Luckily for me (and you!), if you take the time to hunt, it's not too difficult to find similar pieces at more reasonable prices. I am constantly searching antique stores, estate sales, and even Target to find the perfect new addition to my home.

Thomas?? (General Discussion)
I do believe that was Thomas's voice; it was a voiceover later and not on soundstage so it could sound a little different.
I do not think he would put Douglas's life in danger but he is up to something not good. Thomas said he was sorry that he had to do this to him, but he could wait for this any longer. My guess he wants to make his sleepy or sick just long enough that he won't have to take him and be around Hope, so Thomas will have her alone with him the entire time, for them to "celebrate".
I think he's going to give Hope a pill.
Sadly, I think so too.

Balmoral heaven: 10 of the best 4x4s for ability and comfort
The Balmoral Show reminds us of the need for capable, practical vehicles like 4x4s. But the best ones are comfortable as well. Here are some of the best.
It's that time of the year again when country comes to town (well near town, anyway these days) - the Balmoral Show.
And along with the champion livestock, agricultural equipment and farm families, there's another tradition you may have noticed.
Balmoral is a brilliant opportunity to go 4x4 spotting. Because many of the folk who make up most of the Balmoral Show audience are likely to be the very folk who drive 4x4s.
And not in a 'Chelsea Tractor' kind of way either. Whether it's for towing trailers, or horseboxes, or equipment, or navigating country lanes or heading off-road for farming reasons, or to pursue lifestyle sports; the Balmoral audience is the quintessential 4x4/large SUV audience.
So we thought we'd serve up ten of the best of the larger SUVs around.
You'll see in our list that the 4x4 market has everything from monster mud-pluggers big on conquering terrain to luxury premium SUVs with all the comfort and driving ability of an executive saloon.
And it's grown more sophisticated too, because even the dedicated off-roaders these days come with increasingly plush and premium cabins.
The inverse is also true: many of the more comfortable 'soft-roaders' now come with some genuine terrain ability, too.
And in between those two genres is all manner of 4x4s; it's a segment as diverse and competitive as any other these days.
Residual values hold up well, so 4x4s make a great second hand purchase as well.
Here's a quick rundown of some of our favourites. The list is not exhaustive as there is so much choice these days and other manufacturers also build great vehicles.
All prices are approximate and do not include special offers. As always, the best advice is to shop around for what suits you and your lifestyle.
Ford Edge
The large Edge is a relative newcomer this side of the Atlantic. It's a big family-sized SUV with a quality cabin and excellent driving ability.
Its large dimensions give it plenty of space inside, and there's a massive boot as well. There are two engines: both diesels a 2.0-litre turbodiesel and a 2.0-litre twin turbodiesel.
If the Edge is too big for your requirements, below it sit the mid-sized Ford Kuga and smaller Ford EcoSport models.
The Edge costs from around £34,900.
Hyundai Santa Fe
Korean brands like Hyundai and Kia are light years away from where they were when they first entered the European market as value competitors. Now they build sophisticated and stylish cars including the Santa Fe, a very well appointed large 4x4 which is better styled and kitted out than its predecessor and features a very tasty 2.2-litre diesel engine choice.
It's great for families, is a good tower, and there is a seven seat option.
From £31,956.
Jeep Cherokee
Jeep has a reputation for building tough vehicles that perform very well off-road. The Cherokee is no exception, giving a smooth ride on road, and a very strong performance in all kinds of terrain.
There's an all new 2018 revamped model going on sale in the autumn, which looks very tasty indeed.
From £31,730.
Land Rover Discovery Sport
All Land Rovers are brilliant off-roaders, but the new Discovery Sport has been making headlines for both its usability and its luxury. There's a 5+2 seats option as well.
Whilst not built as a farm vehicle – you wouldn't want to ruin the premium interior – it may as well have been, with its excellent all-terrain ability and practicality. Balmoral Show devotees will know there is a now a mouth-watering array of other Land Rovers/Range Rovers for almost any task.
The Discovery Sport retails from around £28,400.
Mitsubishi Shogun
Refreshed less than two years ago, the Shogun is loaded with rugged, reliable technology, an enviable towing capacity and a diehard work ethic. Available with a short or long wheelbase, it is great for loading, lugging and pulling heavy objects and absolutely unstoppable in the wild.
With its enormous pulling power and excellent terrain ability, the Shogun is the vehicle of choice for many who need a reliable workhorse. If the Shogun is too big a beast for you, Mitsubishi also offers the smaller Shogun Sport, Outlander, ASX, and Eclipse Cross models.
The Shogun is priced from around £33,000.
Nissan X-Trail
The old X-Trail's rather boxy design wasn't very modern, but Nissan has now repaired this rather obvious gap in its line-up with a stylish makeover of the X-Tail.
The new model is a great leap forward, featuring excellent build quality, great looks and a clean, modern design.
For all its handsome looks, it is very practical, for example it has a towing capacity of up to 2,000kg.
Priced from £28,000.
Peugeot's 5008
Peugeot's 5008 model is a luxurious large SUV with a distinctive and eye-catching design.
It's had a complete overhaul from the previous model, which was more people carrier in orientation. Now it's got full SUV looks, a seven-seat version, and an impressive and refined diesel engine that delivers excellent fuel efficiency.
From £26,389.
Subaru Forester
Subaru's doughty Forester has been around for a while, and is undoubtedly a proper off-roader. If you need something roomy, rugged, reliable and for use as a good tower, look no further. The Forester has had a loyal band of followers for many years now, not least due to the impressive all-terrain capability of its standard Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system.
If you want something smaller, the mid-sized Subaru XV has just been brilliantly revamped; it's better looking, roomier, and sharper than before.
Subaru Forester is priced from £25,510.
Toyota Land Cruiser
If you need space, big pulling power and incredible off-road ability, the Toyota Land Cruiser might be what you need.
What it lacks in cabin refinements, it makes up with personality and ability – and it's terrain ability is massively helped by a big ladder chassis that is tough and near indestructible.
From £33,435.
VW Amarok
If your needs are very large or heavy duty, consider a pick-up. Pick-up trucks are rapidly becoming as luxurious as 4x4s.
The Volkswagen Amarok is a pick-up that drives like a 4x4, even though it consists of a loading bay and a double cab up front. It is by powered by turbocharged petrol or turbocharged direct injection (TDI) diesel engines and comes in rear-wheel drive or 4motion four-wheel-drive options.
From £30,455.

In England, children's services are currently provided by a number of different professions and organisations using different IT systems, which do not speak to each other. Some parents and carers have access to a digital child health record via an e-red book, but this is not linked to NHS and GP systems.
NHS England has produced a Children's Health Digital Strategy, which aims to improve interoperability between health and care IT systems to enable more integrated services, which better support children and their families. Two key objectives are: a) knowing where every child is and how healthy they are and b) appropriate access to information for all involved in the care of children, including parents and carers through personal child health records.
NHS England are establishing a central hub to provide a "subscribe and publish" service which will enable information about key health and care events in a child's life (eg birth details, immunisations, screening reviews etc.) to be shared electronically with appropriate people, including parents/carers through an electronic Personal Child Health Record or e-Red Book.
This is a collaborative project between NHS Digital and the Professional Record Standards Body (PRSB). The PRSB role in this project is to undertake wide citizen and health and care professional consultation during the development by NHS Digital of information models and associated deliverables required for the child health events specification. The aim of the consultation is to make sure that the specification meets the needs of citizens and care professionals and can be implemented by industry suppliers.
Following the consultation, final versions of the information models will be turned into technical specifications by NHS Digital so that they can be used by suppliers to implement on their IT systems.
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) are leading the consultation, supported by the Royal College of Physicians Health Informatics Unit using an evidence and consensus-based process, adapted from that used to develop the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) clinical record standards which were published in 2013.
A workshop is being held in London on 5 April 2017 to help develop requirements for information to be shared between health and care professionals and with parents and carers to support the healthy child programme. This is to enable timely and appropriate support to be provided and to prevent people having to duplicate information in different records (eg the red book, the health visitor record, child health information system and GP record).
This is the first of three workshops and will be focusing on child health events specifically related to the birth and new birth events. The following two workshops will cover other events taking place later in a child's life.
If you are an RCN member, and would like to attend the workshop, or have some thoughts on the project, please contact Dave O'Carroll, RCN Programme Manager (Information and Resources) in the first instance at email@example.com.

Occupy Liberals Have A Change Of Heart Over Skyrocketing Energy Prices
The irony of this story is impressive. Occupy Durham protesters who demand free electricity for their own protest needs are protesting over the rising cost of electricity. Read on.
Duke Energy has proposed a 17% residential rate hike and Occupy Durham libs are not impressed. The rate increase will generate funds to be used in part to comply with government regulations and pollution control measures.
During his campaign, Mr. Obama very clearly stated that under his Cap and Trade plan, energy costs would "necessarily skyrocket." Granted, Cap and Trade did not pass, but still these people were supporting Obama as he pushed for its passage.
We can assume that most of these protesters, including the Raging Trannies, voted for Hope and Change, yet I do not recall a peep of protest from them back in 2008 when Obama promised them higher energy prices. So why are rising energy costs a problem for them now?
From the Charlotte Observer
DURHAM Hours before the 7 p.m. hearing, a crowd gathered more than a block away to protest Duke Energy's proposed rate hike for customers before the N.C. Utilities Commission.
About 25 Occupy Durham supporters held a mini-rally at the city's CCB Plaza to criticize Duke Energy, corporate greed and the political climate that has allowed businesses to raise fees and increase profits. The crowd swelled to more than 60 and spilled out of the already full City Council chambers by the time the hearing began.
Duke's request includes a 17 percent hike for all residential customer classes. The largest group of those customers, however, would actually pay close to 20 percent more. Typical bills would rise about $18 a month beginning in February.
The N.C. Utilities Commission's Public Staff, which represents consumers, has recommended an increase of only 4.8 percent.
If the utility's request is approved by the commission, it would be Duke's biggest rate increase in at least 20 years. Three-fourths of the increase would help pay for $4.8 billion in Duke construction since 2009, new power plants and pollution-control equipment.
Wednesday's hearing was the last of a series of public hearings held throughout Duke's territory. Crowds of people have protested at each.
Duke District Manager Millie Chalk defended the rate hike at the beginning of the hearing, saying the money is needed to pay for investments made to modernize the system and comply with regulations. Those improvements include underground cables and equipment to boost reliability in downtown Durham.

Palestinians clean East Jerusalem cemetery facing confiscation
Sept. 4, 2015 9:16 P.M. (Updated: Sept. 5, 2015 1:34 P.M.)
JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Dozens of Palestinians in Jerusalem gathered to clean the Bab al-Rahma cemetery on Friday, in response to plans announced by Israeli authorities to seize parts of the cemetery for a national park trail, local sources told Ma'an.
Islamic and national leaders in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan and the committee for the preservation of Islamic cemeteries in Jerusalem called for protests after the Israeli Nature Authority announced its plan to confiscate 40 percent of the cemetery's area.
Palestinian youths last Wednesday pulled down a barbed wire fence that Israeli authorities put up around part the cemetery earlier that day.
The head of the committee for the preservation of Islamic cemeteries in Jerusalem, Mustafa Abu Zahra, told Ma'an that the part of the cemetery that was fenced off included grave-sites.
Earlier this week Abu Zahra said that the Israeli authorities "claimed they were putting a court decision into effect," but he said that the authorities had given no evidence of a court ruling backing their action.
Bab al-Rahma, meaning Door of Compassion, runs along the eastern wall of Jerusalem's Old City and has been in use for more than 1,000 years.
Abu Zahra said documents exist that prove the land belongs to the Islamic Endowment, which
controls the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound
. He said the documents clearly show the exact borders of the cemetery.
Abu Zahra added that the Israeli authorities are "pirating" the land.
Earlier this week
Director of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Omar al-Kiswani, commented on
the confiscation of part of the cemetery, al-Kiswani said: "Not only does the Israeli occupation go after living Muslims, but even the dead are not safe."

You do know that all Muslims also see Joshua as the leader of the Israelites, following the death of Moses. Some Muslims also believe Joshua to be the "attendant" of Moses mentioned in the Qur'ān, before Moses meets Khidr and some believe that he is a prophet.

Food Outreach in Reverse.../
From Catherine…
In SoCe, we have the good fortune of being able to partner with other organizations, such as the SCNA (South Central Neighborhood Association), the SCIA (South Central Improvement Alliance), and Legacy Ministries. Legacy has a branch called Garden Works. I have been working with Garden Works since January of this year to do food outreach in SoCe.
As I reflect on what food outreach has come to mean in SoCe, I am looking back on the goals that were on the food outreach job description: respond to the needs and desires of our neighbors and to implement programs for the ongoing food empowerment of SoCe. We perceived the food concerns in our neighborhood to be the food desert (since our neighborhood grocery store closed in the summer of 2014), financial constraints, lack of transportation, and lack of culinary knowledge or exposure. We went door-to-door and asked for input from neighbors. They were not too concerned about the food desert, but seemed interested in getting together for some cooking events. We decided to host gatherings such as potlucks, make & take cooking nights, and spice tasting opportunities. These evenings were fun and we met new people and learned of some amazing cooks in the neighborhood. However, there seemed to be some missing element, something else we should be pursuing.
In recent months, since blending Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) with food outreach, I have learned that the outreach I am being led to cultivate is actually to facilitate ways for neighbors to reach out with their amazing culinary skills! This means finding ways for one neighbor to utilize her wonderful cookie-baking skills, for a high school student to share her love of baking cupcakes, or for my new friend one street over to be able to cater some SoCe Life events to share and showcase her delicious Cuban cooking. It also means sharing with her that my dream for her is to host Cuban cooking lessons. She was so excited to make my dream come true – we have the first cooking lesson date and menu set! ABCD strikes again! Food outreach in SoCe is about uncovering the culinary passions that are already here among my neighbors and helping them to share those passions.

Richard Rush to James Madison, 10 January 1829
Washington January 10. 1829
Dear sir,
I cannot longer abstain from expressing the deep interest with which I read your two letters on the power of Congress to lay duties on foreign manufactures, with a view to the encouragement of our own. To you, dear sir, I cannot say all that I think of them. They are like the voice of reason, suddenly interposed to still jarring elements. They have made a powerful impression upon the public. Where so much is said, that, to my mind, is irresistible, it is difficult to dwell upon any particular parts. Were I to do so, I think it would be on these two: first, where you consider the sanction given to the power by the practice of the general government for nearly forty years, as of itself decisive of its constitutionality; and, next, where you open to us the evils of disunion. As to the first, I confess I am amazed that intelligent and virtuous men, should doubt the power. In the constant access that I had to your society during and after the late war, when it was my happiness and good fortune to have had a share in your friendship and your counsels, I never heard from you that that power had so much as been called in question by any one, at any time. And constitutional history was often touched upon during that memorable crisis, I being always a listener, and a learner, when you spoke. Certainly, the power has never been seriously, if at all, disputed so far as I recollect, until recently; when all at once the solemn legislation of the nation for so great a length of time, is pronounced usurpation. But the nation surely will not countenance the charge. As to the evils of disunion, these letters place you, sir, in the light of a witness bearing testimony; useful, solemn, testimony. Most of us now on the stage, were too young to retain a recollection of the day when we had no general government; and those who have only read of the train of political and commercial evils that marked that day, seem to have forgotten them. We needed to be reminded of them, as you have reminded us. It serves to renew upon the convictions of us all, a just and vivid sense of them; of their appalling extent, and irremediable nature, except by flying as we did, under your auspices, to the general government as a refuge: that government the true meaning of which, on a fundamental point, you are now kindly expounding to us from your retreat. We hail it as a voice come back from other years, to inform, to admonish, to assuage. What have we yet suffered from any tariff, compared to the multiple dangers that grew out of the old confederacy? Danger at home; dangers from abroad, if possible more fearful. It was time that we should be awakened to the recollection of all this, that we may start back from it as from a scene of horror that blighted the prospects of the states separately, and was rapidly and inevitably destroying our very existence as a nation.
Admitting even, that Laws sometimes do operate unequally in different parts of our happy country, is not history at hand to supply us with precedents of fact, and lessons of wise and patriotic submission? We will only name Holland. Holland paid fifty eight percent of the taxes levied by the government of the United provinces. Yet the direct influence of each province, was precisely the same. The consent of the smallest as well as of the largest, was equally required to give legality to any act of the federal government. Guelderland paid but five per cent, though really the first province in nominal rank. The money thus raised in so large a proportion from Holland, was expended in the service of all the provinces; in maintaining the navy and army, in garrisoning the barrier towns, and in supporting that admirable system of police which each province alike enjoyed. Holland continued to pay in this proportion for the benefit of all other provinces of the Union, during a period of more than 180 years. What inequality have we like this? The very idea of a political union involves the necessity of a common cause. One part will often, and unavoidably, contribute more than its protection costs. The surplus goes to protect another part, which contributes less. The burdens of national expense in a federative community, can never be so distributed as that each part shall bear the precise proportion determined by its interests in the great purposes for which the whole burdens are imposed. Your invaluable letters have shown us the transcendent advantages of union to our states, by recalling the incalculable evils that we were exposed to from the want of it. I tender to you, dear sir, the constant assurances of affectionate and devoted attachment.
Richard Rush

Karem launched a similar tirade against Sanders past year when he said during a press briefing that he was exhausted of being "bullied" by attacks on the media by the Trump administration. Karem exclaimed. "They have less than you do!" She called the Trump administrations separation policy barbaric, adding: It has to stop.. American citizens are not allowed to take their children into detentions centers or prison.
Not on my watch". In an effort to rebut criticism of the administration, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Sunday repeated in a tweet the department's view: "We do not have a policy of separating families at the border".
The victim's mother took the child to a fire department to report the abuse this weekend after the child made a cry for help. Investigators say the suspect blackmailed the mother by threatening to report her undocumented immigration status to federal officials.
In a speech at the meeting of National Sheriffs' Association in New Orleans, Nielsen drew rousing applause when she directed her remarks at "a selected few in the media, Congress and the advocacy community" whom she accused of mischaracterizing the Trump administration's border crackdown.
The IG's report says Comey erred when he announced in July 2016 that Clinton had been "extremely careless" with classified material but would not be charged with any crime, and again months later when he told Congress shortly before the election that the probe into Clinton's emails had been reopened.
Will this mean hiving off the large amount of classified space activity the Air Force now handles and coordinates with the NRO? Mr Trump said the U.S. Conceivably the 2019 NDAA that is now going through the legislative cycle could create the Space Force, Loverro said, although Congress would have to give the Defense Department at least one or two years to execute such a large reorganization.
Japanese disaster authorities say two people have been found without vital signs and 41 others injured by an quake in western Japan. A spokeswoman for Hong Thai Travel Services said its four tours in Osaka, involving 80 people, were safe and their itineraries had not been affected.
Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani echoed that sentiment on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen targeted those groups by name in a series of tweets on Sunday night. No law mandates separating families. The first lady's decision to step into the debate makes the silence of another Trump family member all the more telling.
On Wednesday, many construction agencies, municipal corporations and Delhi Pollution Control Committee were instructed to ensure water sprinkling around the capital. However, the increase in pollution levels now is mainly due to drastic increase in coarse particles in air. New Delhi's level of PM2.5, tiny particulate matter that can dangerously clog lungs, exceeded 170 June 15 morning, more than six times higher than the World Health Organization considers safe.
Motions filed by both sides Friday ask a judge to take their side before the case heads to a trial scheduled for October. "Rather, Harvard's admissions process is created to identify engaged and creative students who will take their place as the leaders of the next generation and who will be equipped to deal with a complex, diverse world".
Otherwise, the next day is counted as the 30th and last day of the ongoing month and the next day is the first day of the new month. Special prayers, including Traweeh prayers, were offered all across the Muslim world. In Ramzan, the 9th month of Islamic calendar , Muslims observe fast and abstain from food and water from dawn to dusk. According to many beliefs, this annual observance is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
Water floods out from crack in the road, following an natural disaster in Takatsuki, Osaka, Monday. A building burns after the quake in Osaka. The city is close to Kobe, which was hit by a deadly magnitude 6.9 quake in 1995. Despite its relatively low magnitude, the quake caused quite a shake, registering a lower six on the Japanese experiential scale of up to seven, meaning it is hard to stay standing.
Kansai also said more than 170,000 households were without power in Osaka and neighbouring Hyogo prefecture. Public broadcaster NHK said the man was an 80-year-old who had also been killed by a collapsing wall, and that the third fatality was a man trapped under a bookcase in his home.
Shortly before the text of the amendment was tabled, former minister Anna Soubry tweeted to say that "deal or no deal Parliament will have a meaningful vote and ... However, Mr Grieve told Sky News the government's attempt to make their proposed compromise agreement unamendable is "not a satisfactory state of affairs".
The militants said there would be no extension to the ceasefire and fighters would be expected to leave government-controlled areas before sunset. "President Ghani's latest decision to offer an extension of the ceasefire is another courageous step to make way for peace negotiations and we call on the Taliban to reciprocate".
Dimmit County officials confirmed Sunday afternoon that five people have died in a crash involving undocumented immigrants. This includes the driver, who is believed to be a United States citizen. The vehicle traveling more than 100 miles per hour when it crashed, according to local authorities. Boyd said the driver was known to police, and had been seen in the area 'last week, ' either scouting the area or looking for immigrants to smuggle.
As Axios noted, Robert Mueller was appointed as Special Counsel in May past year. The former mayor of NY, who is part of the President's legal team in the Russian Federation investigation, was on Staten Island campaigning for Republican Rep.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel struggled on Thursday to find a compromise on migrant policy with her rebelling Bavarian allies, hoping to avert a crisis in her coalition just three months after it took power. "Germany can not wait endlessly for Europe, but must act independently", tweeted Bavaria's hardline premier Markus Soeder. On Wednesday Austria's right-wing chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, said after talks with Mr Seehofer that the interior ministers of Austria, Germany and Italy had ...
One injured woman was in serious but not critical condition, according to Interfax, citing a medical source. The Mexican embassy in Moscow said two of its citizens were among the injured. There were shouts, moans. The Moscow city traffic authority identified the driver as 28-year-old Chyngyz Anarbek, who is from Kyrgyzstan. The police said he had told them that he was very exhausted after a long day, and he didn't mean to put his foot on the accelerator.
You have abused the trust placed in you six months ago", she said to Manafort. Mr Manafort was accused of using encrypted mobile phone apps to contact people in breach of his bail terms.

The tweet of course launched a medley of rumors, ranging from a new Potter novel to the possibility of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a pre-Potter era screenplay, going into production sooner than expected. But in true J.K. Rowling fashion, the author couldn't leave fans without offering up a hint:
So, what does this all mean? While most are stumped, a few Redditors pointed out a promising break in the code: The words "Newt Scamander" and "New York" are both hidden in the last tweet; Fantastic Beasts houses both the aforementioned character and state. True or not, we can't wait to see what J.K. Rowling has in store for us!

Connected Cities Northwest: Civic Venture Lab
On the success of our recent Connected Cities Northwest event, the MIT Enterprise Forum is pleased to continue the conversation about using technology and innovation to improve quality of life throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Our region is known for a lot of things that range from technology, outdoor activities, listening to new ideas, a commitment to kindness to strangers, and innovative solutions. Our history is dotted with a litany of unconventional thinkers bringing new ideas to light. From commercial aviation to ecommerce to the world's largest non-profit to cloud computing, to coffee shops on every corner. The unthinkable is not only thinkable, it is achievable.
What runs through this region is a pioneering spirit, a desire to roll up our sleeves, and to tackle the most-unsolvable problems. Undoubtedly, our region faces a series of challenges from homelessness and housing affordability to transportation to healthcare issues, and so on.
While many regions would cower from these challenges, our pioneering spirit drives us toward these challenges. We look forward to learning from our neighbors throughout the greater Puget Sound region to understand how we can solve some of the biggest challenges of the day.
We have convened a panel of experts that have shown the ability to think creatively about quality of life standards in the public and the private sector. Come join us to explore the possible and to help create another example of the Puget Sound leading the way in innovation.

iPhone sales pass 500,000 mark over the weekendBy Jose Vilches
Even though no official numbers from Apple or AT&T have been revealed so far, according to a report by analyst firm Piper Jaffray, more than 500,000 iPhones were sold nationwide over the weekend, totaling an estimated $275 million in sales. Nearly all of AT&T's stores sold out its entire stock of iPhones, while Apple Stores were reportedly not far behind.
The iPhone's debut marked one of the most-hyped product launches ever, not even the device's lack of a user-replaceable battery, physical keyboard and the fact that is tied exclusively to AT&T and its relatively slow Edge network were enough to stop buyers from lining up days in advance to purchase the long awaited phone from Apple.
The iPhone – which combines a phone, Web browser and a music player – has thus far received favorable reviews all over the web. However, not everything went trouble free, as delays in AT&T's phone activation system left many buyers unable to use their new toy throughout the weekend.
"We are working on any issues on an individual basis with customers who were impacted," said Michael Coe, a spokesman for AT&T, the Apple Inc. device's exclusive carrier. Nearly all customers have been able to activate their phones within five to eight minutes, he said.
Activation issues aside, Apple's iPhone has seen a strong start, nonetheless, the real test for the gadget begins now. The company has set a target of 10 million iPhones sold over the next 12 months — equating to about 1 percent of the mobile phone market.

OCAA Championship in Review: Humber, Redeemer, and Mohawk Impress
Newnham Recreation Building, Toronto
Saturday February 26th, 2011
Gold: Redeemer Royals vs. Humber College
Bronze: Mohawk Mountaineers vs. Seneca Sting
Going into the OCAA Championship Final, the build up left for plenty of open-ended questions. The first one that comes to mind is how a team from Ancaster, with less than 900 students enrolled, and an 8-10 record going into the playoffs, has emerged as the number one contender to defending champions Humber. Could they make the Gold Medal Match a viable competition? The audience turnout left other questions, since hosts Seneca had finished their playoff run with a deflating loss in the bronze medal match earlier in the day. Would the out-of-towners bring an equal intensity?
Those two questions were answered with such enthusiasm that it became ridiculous, and other questions emerged from the results.
Full results and breakdown after the jump:
Audience members began flooding in throughout the four o'clock hour, resulting in a sold out crowd for the finals. The Redeemer Royals must have pulled out 50% of their entire student body, and they were there with a purpose. With faces painted, full war gear in hand (metal, not plastic), an array of noise options, and endless endurance, they became an aspect of the game in themselves. The Royals had a drummer, and I don't mean a guy with a drum. I mean a drummer with at least a three-piece set that played patterns. Consistently.
Humber wasn't about to be outdone, bringing out an equal sized section of supporters from the other side of El Toro. Their signature Hawk mascot made an appearance. They had forms of megaphone, and pom-poms. As a percentage of an entire school, and in terms of the insanity in their eyes, Humber was down a notch. But they gave every bit of volume they could to keep their squad feeling the energy. This volume is not to be underestimated. Babies were wearing protective headgear.
And then they got down to volleyball. Immediately it's apparent that Redeemer is more than a loud fan base. This team can play volleyball, and are exchanging points back and forth with an impressive Humber squad. Redeemer finished with a Bronze last year in the OCAA Championships, and had an impressive 13-3 regular season record. Their inconsistency this year is puzzling, but the team showed up to play down the stretch, and that's all that counts now. Not only are the Royals exchanging with Humber, but also neither team is giving much leeway in terms of errors. The game pace is fast, and much more fluid than any competition seen in previous matches today. There is a step-up towards next level volleyball present in the gym, and it only helped that every play, no matter what, was punctuated by waves of noise.
Humber managed to keep a slight lead throughout the early first set, warding the Royals off 18-15. The Hawks pulled off a kill from 9 Brandon Wong out of the backcourt and through a triple block. They follow it with a big roof, and on the very next play block a Redeemer attack hard enough to pack its attacker back in his face. A hard serve that forced a shank pushed Humber's lead to 21-16. Redeemer let Humber know they were still there with a huge stuff on a well-run rip by Hawks' 18 Andre Brown. His play was strong all set, and the Royals let Humber know they weren't to be underestimated by shutting him down on such a well executed attack. However, the first set was out of reach. Brown got his revenge almost immediately, with a huge roof as a statement to end the set. Humber took it 25-18.
The second set opened to Hawks' 14 Paul Kemboi having minor issues with an error into the net. Then the Royals got their block together to shut Kemboi down again. Slightly rattled, Kemboi soon after lost control of a pass during serve receive. It was enough for Humber to make a change, throwing 7 Brandon Cullen, in his first year of eligibility, on to the court. By the time Humber got their first point, the score was 7-1. And they earned that point off a missed serve.
After that, Humber emerged from their rut. The position they were caught in passed and some back-and-forth volleyball resumed. A solid rally ended with Humber tightening the score to 12-9, which they followed up with an ace from 11 Derek Quinn for 12-10. The fans were reaching a tipping point as Humber chipped away at the Redeemer lead.
The Royals managed to keep their lead at a decent distance right up until 18-14. They'd led the entire set, and only the final stretch remained. However, they coughed up a point on a terrible miss-hit backcourt attack, and were forced into a time-out at 18-17. Coming off of the break, Hawks' 17 Matthew Isaacs kept the momentum flowing with a huge block to tie the game for the first time in the set. Next, a tight call went Humber's way after an intense blocking joust above the net for the Hawks' first lead. The Royals put their next attack wide, and call a time-out to collect themselves.
Down the stretch, Humber showed their diversity in skills. First, a huge roof from Quinn. Next, they displayed their digging with an incredibly diving save, which they smartly tipped over after the scramble for a point. Next was a powerful attack that overwhelmed the block and went out for a Hawk point. A tough float serve ripped through the hands of Royals' 9 David Klomps' hands to end the set 25-19 Humber. After a 7-0 start for Redeemer, Humber ended it with an 11-1 run of their own.
In their two regular season matches with Humber, the Royals pushed it to five sets both times. Their play showed they weren't about to go anywhere, and neither was their audience. The very first play of the new set showcased a Royals block, and Redeemer once again took an early lead, this time 5-2. The set remained tight, but Redeemer maintained this lead, as they had throughout the second set.
At one point, Humber ran an incredible step attack that lost the block entirely. Somehow, the Royals managed a diving, one-handed dig. After forcing a Humber free ball, they transitioned to attack and took the point. The Hawks' Kemboi, after being put back on the floor for the third set, was stuffed on his attack, and once again was replaced by Cullen at 11-8 Redeemer. The Royals managed a second unbelievable play when 5 Derek VandenBrink pulled off a diving, one-handed dig to keep the play alive. Right away, Redeemer gets their block together for a point and a 13-9 lead.
The frustration boiled over for Humber, after 12 Bobby Anderson was called on the net. On the next play, he packed Royals' 2 Steve Stone hard in the face. Truly, that must have been a numbing experience. The Royals still had the lead, but only by two. The Hawks substituted 10 Mack Robertson in for starting middle Andre Smith, and the move immediately paid off as Robertson snuck a kill through a triple block from a backcourt attack. A tip on the next play tied the game and forced a timeout at 16-16.
Coming out of the time-out, Redeemer immediately respond with a tough one-handed set for a sweet quick from the middle for a point. A Humber miss added security to the Royals lead, which they hadn't given up at all in the third set. The Hawks' substituted in 8 Jason Mascoll in for Bobby Anderson, and now had only half of their starting line-up on the floor. Redeemer are hitting the floor, going for every ball. The Royals managed a perfect pancake dig on a Humber tip attempt, and transition immediately to an attack on the left-side that punishes the Hawks' defence. Redeemer extended their lead to 21-18.
Humber tightened the gap with help from an ace from Isaacs. Redeemer responded with a tough set on a rip attack from the middle attacker, which turned into a tip. Regardless of how it comes, it counts. Humber's next attack caught a piece of the antennae, and Redeemer led 23-20. Hawks' Cullen reared back and ripped an attack off the Royals' attack and out, but Humber gave away the advantage with a missed serve from Quinn. The gift put the Royals up 24-21, giving them set point.
On set point, Redeemer 11 Joshua Dykxhoorn pulled off another ridiculous diving dig. However, as they transitioned to attack, Humber put together a block. It was still set point at 24-22. Redeemer's next attack, coming from Klomps, got blocked again. The ball rolled for what seemed like an eternity along the net, but fell on the Royal's side. Still at set point, the Royals led 24-23. At this point, Humber elected to replace their initial starters, except for Kemboi in favour of Cullen.
An incredibly tough joust, high above the net, was won by Humber to tie game up. Jousts are incredibly difficult to win every time, and this particular one came off a Humber overpass to begin with. However, the huge stuff took away Redeemer's set point. Humber put a more impressive point away with a kill from Bobby Anderson on the right side. Now the Hawks had their first lead of the game, which just so happened to be set, and match point at 25-24. It didn't take long, as the rattled Redeemer squad overpassed the ensuing serve over the net and out.
The Humber Hawks become with OUA Champions with a 26-24 set victory. Congratulations to Humber for defending their crown from last year. Their team has only two starting players in their final year of eligibility. One is Brandon Wong, the other Paul Kemboi. The team's bench looks deep, and a full men's and women's legacy could be in the mix for Humber.
Bronze Medal Match
Mohawk Mountaineers vs. Seneca Sting
Seneca and Mohawk had packed mornings of volleyball on Saturday. First, Mohawk barely edged out Nipissing in a five-set thriller. Next, Seneca managed to get by Sheridan in straight sets, but those sets were 26-24, 25-23, and 25-21, as neither team really displayed that next-level talent. Both of the morning games had their fair share of errors, and it appeared that the team that played more consistent would come out of the OCAA Championships with a bronze.
At least, that was the prediction on initial speculation. But that's why the game is always played anyways, regardless of what it looks like on paper. The Mohawk Mountaineers came out flying in the first set. Their bench was louder, their offence more complex and filled with orchestrated plays. Seneca's offence was slow to start, as 9 Peter Christian failed to put an attack in the court multiple times early. Mohawk took everything they were given and stormed out to a dominating 17-9 lead before Seneca knew what hit them. Seneca could only muster free balls over the net, and Mohawk would happily make the Sting eat more attacks. Seneca substituted Christian off as his inconsistency continued, but it was far too late. Seneca missed their serve, to add salt to their wounds, to hand Mohawk an easy 25-12 first set.
The second set played out similarly. Seneca, now warmed up, tried to stay in it as best they could. However, Mohawk's 10 Cameron Henschel was unstoppable from the middle. The Mountaineers' setter, 3 Zac Schulz, continually found success with tricky tips over the net whenever he was in trouble. To add to their troubles, suddenly the Mohawk block picked up and refused to let any Seneca attack over the net. Finding themselves in another hole, Seneca this time tried substituting their setter out for fresh hands. Again, it was an empty gesture. The Sting's 11 Evan Minshall missed a quick attack entirely to hand over the set to Mohawk 25-14.
The third set offered Seneca their last chance at a medal in 2011. Sting 5 Predrag Gajic did everything he could to motivate his team. After some heavy hits early on, Seneca found a bit of life. They were down 12-7 at one point, but strong blocking and maintaining consistency tightened up the score at 14-13. However, a couple more points for Mohawk caused the starting Sting setter, 6 Kyle McCann, to get quite frustrated. His teammates had to drag him away from the referee at one point. The burst of emotion trickled down to his team, as a failure of communication caused an ace to fall between players. The score was once again extended to a five-point Mohawk lead. Seneca did what they could, but were blocked on two consecutive plays down the stretch, which really took away from their momentum. The Sting finally managed to block the Mohawk setter's cheeky tip, but it was far too late. The Mohawk Mountaineers won the final set 25-19 for a straight set victory in an hour and three minutes. It really was a dominating performance.
After their lackluster morning, the Mohawk Mountaineers proved their worth and earned OCAA Bronze for 2010-11.

Some are amused, and some are offended, by Donald Trump's wallowing in the depths of birtherism all over TV news. But not Sarah Palin. When asked about Trump's latest cause--tracking down President Obama's birth certificate--Palin said, "More power to him!" Speaking on Fox News, Palin explained that she approved of how Trump is "not just throwing stones, you know, from the sidelines. He's digging in there. He's paying for researchers to know why President Obama would have spent $2 million to not show his birth certificate."
Palin went on to say that she believes Obama was born in Hawaii, but "obviously, if there's something there that the president doesn't want people to see on that birth certificate... Then he seems to go to great lengths to make sure it isn't shown, and that's kind of perplexing for a lot of people."
Why would Palin turn birther now? As The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake note, back in February Palin said questions about Obama's birthplace were a distraction from more important issues. "Now, for some reason, she appears to think Trump's quest is worthwhile," Cillizza and Blake write. What might that reason be? The Christian Science Monitor's Brad Knickerbocker thinks he has the answer: "Sarah Palin, for now at least, appears to have slipped to second place behind Trump among the most colorful of the GOP's presidential teasers... Which may be why Palin took the opportunity to give Trump an attaboy on the birther deal."
Palin might have tried to thread the needle of wooing birthers while not looking like a conspiracy theorist herself, but Mediaite's Sarah Devlin thinks she wasn't quite successful. Palin "expressed hope that perhaps Trump's piles of money would be the key ingredient missing from prior investigations of the President's birthplace; Orly Taitz, despite having about 10 jobs, doesn't have a hotel in New York City--know what I mean? ... Her attitude suggested a quiet, but not overt, encouragement of Trump's investigation."
And while White House senior adviser David Plouffe finds Trump's claims laughable, he's not exactly discouraging him either. "I saw Donald Trump kind of rising in the polls. Given his behavior, and the spectacle of the last couple of weeks, I hope he keeps on rising," Plouffe told ABC News' Jake Tapper. "There's zero chance that Donald Trump would ever be hired by the American people to do this job."
Plouffe's not the only one cheering Trump on in a more frenemy kind of way than Palin:

Happy Valentine's Day Style Babes!
This Valentine's Day outfit inspiration is brought to you by the sneaker chick who's not afraid to speak her style. When a lot of people think of Valentine's Day, the first thing that pops in mind is a sexy banger fit with some high heels. Nothing is wrong with that (hands up). I just prefer to be in the comfort of my kicks no matter what occasion. I've worn heels on numerous occasions. There's a reason for this! I wanted to show those that are afraid to step out of their style zone, that I am capable of stepping out of my comfort zone as well.
Still Outfit Searching?
A lot of us women are cooking up scrambled brains trying to execute the perfect ensemble for date night and really all your guy wants to do is spend this special day with you. To be honest, he probably won't even notice the tons of money you spent pampering yourself a week before Valentine's Day just for him. Guys are so simple ladies, so don't pressure yourself. You can be sexy, just own it. It's always easy if you go with a nice jumper or dress. It will definitely lessen your worries of finding a top and bottom! For my date night with my loved one, he is already prepared to see what kicks I will be rocking. My look today is a mixture of various styles. I'm giving you chic with the blazer, sporty with the T-shirt and sneakers, and boho with the fun ruffled bottoms. Are you diggin' it? Find out where I got my grabs from below!
What am I Wearing?
I thrifted these layered fringe earrings and fun Ruffled Zara bottoms from Crossroads. My Graphic T-shirt is from Forever 21. It's a cool T-shirt to have because you can also rock it with jeans, shorts, and skirts. Pretty much anything! I snagged this Red Cape Blazer from Beehive, one of my most favorite places in the world to seek style sanctuary. They have some of the most funkiest pieces. My floral purse is from Aldo! It also has a chain in case I want to rock it as a crossbody. It's the perfect bag to crossover into the Spring time!
These cool Valentine's Kicks are from Aldo. I know a lot of people get weird about having holiday items that can't be worn again after the holiday. Screw whoever came up with that "rule". I plan on repeating these Valentine's Day kicks and giving them a twist! Live through your clothes, don't let your clothes live through you. If that makes sense.
Wrapping Up!
For my heel lovers, my look can also be worn with pumps, strappy heels, and ankle heeled boots. I'm sure you ladies are still making last minute changes to your outfits. Think about what I said earlier! Pull out those jumpers and dresses, as those will make your life easier for sure. Putting on a red lip will definitely give your look a pop. Need last minute advice? Comment below! I'd love to lend a style hand. Remember to always style your fullest.
