Reader BH writes:
The Waukegan, Illinois Police Department received a telephone call on February, 2, 2015. The female caller, later identified as "Roselynn" stated that her boyfriend, former US Army tanker veteran, Alfred DeVost, had threatened to commit suicide. The Waukegan PD sprang into action and immediately showed up at veteran DeVost's apartment where he allowed them to enter. He denied stating anything concerning his possible suicide and that's when Officer Pantoja decided to try tact, asking DeVost to voluntarily submit to a mental evaluation, which he agreed to do. You see where this is headed, right? . . .
Not according to Mr. DeVost's attorney:
The responding police officer asked if Alfred would VOLUNTEER to be transported to the local hospital for a mental health evaluation. Alfred AGREED and was transported without being handcuffed or ever being in the custody of Waukegan Police. Officer Pantoja clearly writes in her official police report that "Alfred agreed to be transported to Vista West (a local hospital) for a psychological evaluation."
Without a due process hearing or probable cause, Officer Pantoja then admits in writing that "At Vista West, I completed an involuntary committal form and turned it over to Vista medical staff." When exactly did Alfred's volunteering to be evaluated become grounds for an involuntary committal? What medical license does Officer Pantoja hold that empowers her to diagnose and conclude that a man cooperating in every way with a police officer is now subject to involuntary committal at a hospital?
Officer Pantoja returns to Alfred's home and obtains the consent of Alfred's girlfriend, again not his wife to search the home for Alfred's lawfully owned firearm.
Once at the hospital, DeVost was examined by a physician was medically cleared and released to his own care and custody.
But his firearms? Seized by the police without benefit of consent of the owner or as a result of a search warrant, they are in the custody of the Waukegan PD who refuse to give them back. They have even suggested that he get a lawyer and sue to get them.
That's where Attorney David A. Zipp comes in. He was outraged by the jack-booted practices of the Waukegan PD and has sued on DeVost's behalf and started a GoFundMe account to help pay for the lawsuit. If you have a couple of bucks to help a never before arrested, partially disabled vet who served all of us for ten years in the US Army, stop by and throw some bucks his way.

Due to the new, loosey-goosey terms of use from GoFundMe, that account will be shut down in 5….4….3….2…
That's why I did it fast. Get in there before it is shut down.
One gun? The article mentioned one gun that was stolen by the police. The man can fight to get it back on principle, or he can just go buy some more guns. Buying more will be faster and cheaper. Unless it is a family heirloom, the loss of one gun is no big deal. Get more than one this time! The $50,000 they want to raise to hire a shyster lawyer could be used to buy a couple hundred guns.
whether it's 1 gun or 100 guns they seized, the simple fact is that they unlawfully seized it; as well as the other nefarious acts committed by that officer. suing them to get it back and then some serves good and bad. it would put the pd on notice that this is something civies won't stand for. but if he wins the suit and is awarded money, then the tax payers foot the bill. i would think a gun owner would understand that the man had his rights trampled upon.
The man's rights were definitely trampled on, and he should fight back on principle, to defend liberty. I was noting that from a strictly "financial" perspective, the loss wasn't that great. It may not make financial sense to fight back, but sometimes it is just the right thing to do. This does seem to be one of those times.
Made a donation. Disgusting that we need a lawyer to reclaim our property.
Should sue the officer personally as well.
Sue the officer, officer's supervisor, and her union.
It is a shame that the outraged attorney didn't waive his fee.
Lawsuits cost money. Filing fees, motion fees, experts, court reporter's fees, etc. etc. Some lawsuits cost a little, some cost tens, even hundreds of thousands. Are you suggesting that the lawyer should fund these out of his pocket as well?
He needs to cut that dum b!tch of a girlfriend loose.
Hopefully he kicked that traitorous beotch to the curb.
Maybe he did. And that is her retribution for being dumped.
exactly what i was thinking mecha75
Screw Illinois, and screw GoFundMe even harder. I'd love to helo him, but I won't enrich the GoFundMe hypocrites to do it.
This. Where can I send a personal check to?
I'm sorry, I can't have much sympathy for this guy. First, what the heck was going on that his girlfriend called the cops and said he was suicidal? If it happened to me and I was not suicidal, I would be turning her in for a false police report, ending the relationship on the spot and ending this story. Second, if the cops showed up at my door and asked me to volunteer for a psyc. eval. I would tell them to pack sand and demand that they leave. Third, now we have some shyster lawyer who says he's "outraged" and wants to raise money for the lawsuit, money that will mostly go to pay his fees. If it's a good case, he would take in on contingency and get his money out of the city of Waukegan when he wins.
absolutely agree
I am reader "BH"
Waukegan PD has a long history of trampling on citizen's rights. They will get away with this if no one doesn't stand up beside this disabled vet and helps him out. I don't know him but I am a retired Illinois police officer and I will guarantee you that this an every day occurrence in the Land of Lincoln
I think if this situation had played out in a lot of jurisdictions, it would have turned out the same way or worse. Think of what would have happened in NY, NJ or MA. He would be in jail or committed to a mental institution and the gun would already be melted down. I have a rule about jurisdictions like that: I don't live in them!
Yes, he was too trusting and made a series of critical mistakes in dealing with LEOs. However, why punish him by letting the powers that be further erode all of our rights? That's just stupid.
2. Yes, he should have told them to leave, but that's something that most people don't realize they can do when it comes to police. Not being aware of your rights, doesn't mean you deserve to have them trampled.
3. More money into 2nd Amendment campaigns –> more lawyers (shyster or not) looking for 2nd Amendment cases to take on –> more overzealous governments can be put in check –> more people can be informed of their rights before they get them trampled (see #2).
Good cause or not, the outcome is not guaranteed and they still take time away from other potential income generating cases.
If DeVost voluntarily submitted to a mental evaluation, he is clearly certifiably insane.
Ralph going all Joseph Heller on us
Like the "Catch 22" reference!
Those were almost exactly my thoughts. The last psyche eval I did was in late '00 or early '01, which I needed due to a job requirement as a police officer. The shrink was clearly upset that my father was (and still is) a clinical psychologist, and if he had "coached" my responses. My father is ethical, and would not due such a thing. I basically wound up telling the psychologist that he needed to judge me and not my father. I passed, but I don't ever want to do a psyche eval again.
Besides, a lot of shrinks are nuts themselves.
And this poor sap might be better off filing a formal complaint with the police department, or enlisting the help of the NRA or SAF. The GoFundme account has a $50,000 goal. That seems pretty dang high for me – even for an opportunistic lawyer.
Fortunately, lawyers don't need psyche evals. We are assumed to be nuts and if we pass a psyche eval, we are disbarred.
Yes, many people in mental health professions have their own issues. It is how they got interested in the field in the first place. Working in, and then running away from, this field, I'd say a solid 50% of mental health professionals have stuff going on "upstairs".
When I lived in California, I reckoned that 9 out of 10 pshrinks were full-on loons, and they got into the "profession" because they'd get a cut rate on their own psych counseling.
And should have instructed the cop to arrest the "girlfriend" for trespass.
Robert – you didn't get the memo. There is no more "wife" etc only significant other/others of the moment.
Might want to verify those memos before you take it to the internet and risk looking silly. My wife, for one, is perfectly fine.
I think his point was a little more subtle than that.
He's kinda saying that even if the title is "wife," there are sure a whole bunch of them that don't take the real essence of lifelong commitment seriously.
Men have become one of society's acceptable punching bags to the tune of some serious damage, even to the degree of harming boys growing up in a confusing world.
I don't know you or your wife, so I'm not making a comment about your situation specifically. There are "good women." But, there are some truly evil ones, too.
Or raised and conditioned to trust authority. Such as having a sheltered conservative upbringing and military service.
Some times it takes a bit of reality to realize that not all cops are your friends.
Mistake 1: Opening the door to the cops
Mistake 2: Talking to the cops without a lawyer
Mistake 3: Letting the cops in
Mistake 4: Agreeing to anything with the cops
Cops are trained liars and deceivers, always remember that.
True, what the last two comments said. It sucks that the cops have the guns but what if this is a legitimate seizure? We don't have all the facts and he did fully submit. He didn't have to.
True, but not quite accurate. He voluntarily submitted to an evaluation, most likely to demonstrate that he was not suicidal. And he did exactly that, i.e., demonstrated his lack of suicidality to a qualified mental-health professional who cleared him.
Having just been found to be nonsuicidal by a medical professional, he then returned home to find that his property had been seized by someone who was in no way qualified as a mental health practitioner.
Police officers generally cannot determine someone's suicidality or nonsuicidality; they can only place someone on hold for evaluation by qualified professionals (because it's outside an LEO's qualifications — duh).
The irony here is that the individual whose firearm was seized was the only person involved in the entire incident (girlfriend, LEO) who had recently been examined and determined to be nonsuicidal. Neither the girlfriend nor the LEO had been determined not to be at risk of self-harm. Of the three of them, he represented the lowest known risk for self-harm.
But whose firearm was seized?
A police officer does not determine if you are a threat to yourself or others. But a police officer is allowed to involuntarily detain for an evaluation and treatment upon probable cause to believe…and in some states, that is enough to suspend your right to keep firearms. Here in California, a "5150" will cause you to lose your rights for ten years–even if the medical professional upon evaluation determines you are not crazy or suicidal.
The courts would rule it was a legitimate SEARCH, though I would disagree. Somebody who had permission to be there let the cops in for the search.
I can't see how in the world it could be a legitimate SEIZURE. Either they found something illegal in their quasi-legal search, or they didn't. If the guy had a FOID, it wasn't illegal for him to have that gun and the copette is nothing but a common thief, with the department knowingly receiving and retaining stolen property. I think the attorney should be going for RICO in addition to the usual 42 USC §1983 stuff.
Unless of curse the law provides for an immediate suspension of gun rights upon the issuance of the involuntary hold. I don't know Illinois law on the subject, but that is the case in California.
Was an involuntary hold issued?
Hard to tell from what I've read, unless the copette had the power to do it all on her own. It is clear she tried, but it sounds like she was the only person on the planet aside from the girlfriend who wanted it.
At any rate, he was immediately cleared, so I can't come up with a legal excuse for the gun to spend a single night away from home.
I lived in Waukegan from 5th grade through Senior year. When I live there,cops and politicians always prided themselves as a smaller version of the Chicago Political Machine.
Looks like nothing has changed. I am so happy to live anywhere but there.
The 'Folks" doing these evaluations are halfway down the rabbit hole themselves.
A sad reminder of why I refuse to let the police into my home and I will refuse any questioning without a lawyer present. The police, when questioning you, are not looking to help you, aid you, clear you, they are looking for clearances, arrests and any way possible to jack you up, especially in Illinois. I hope he gets his guns back and wins a huge settlement.
If you own guns, that proves you are insane. Case closed. Sane people do not need guns, especially in our super safe cities with militarized high speed low drag public servants patrolling them. #everymoronforgunnonsense.
One of the other veterans in my group up here had that exact same thing done to him recently; a way-old ex-girlfriend called him out of the blue (he's been married with three little sons for a few years now) and they had a reasonable but distant conversation, i.e. he's happily married with children now, bye, see ya, have a nice life. She called the state police and claimed he talked about killing himself, which he did not; and he's not anywhere near suicidal. So they showed up at his door and there began a lengthy conversation which also involved his wife coming out and stipulating that he wouldn't have said such a thing, etc. But meanwhile this gets him jammed up with his wife somewhat anyway, and now the cops have this on record if there are any future contacts with them about anything at all. They did not go in the house or conduct any searches, and he does own and use firearms, so at least he didn't get hit with that.
But it goes to show, along with those swatting incidents around the country, that anyone can call the cops now and claim whatever and they're gonna show up and the burden is kinda on YOU to show they don't need to be there. Which sucks.
Laws need to be changed to require a sworn statement (with photo ID) prior to ANY action on the part of police. If it turns out to be a pure-ass lie, 5 years in prison for perjury. That would, as they say, "nip it! nip it in the bud!"
Otherwise, this will remain "just good, clean fun!"
Well this is some BS. Never volunteer anything. And get rid of the gal friend. I'm with Ralph on this one.
I knew a judge who, as a DA prior to becoming a judge, would tell acquitted defendants to "sue me" to get their firearms back. He knew they would win, but rightly figured they wouldn't sue. I expect the Waukegan folks will rapidly settle if an actual suit is filed. Just my guess.
If he is an NRA member,they should provide a lawyer.
Attorney seems like a good man. Retired Marine, a Mason, and apparently referred by other lawyers.
Smart man to get PR and plea for funding from Illinois gun-rights groups.
This would be a good situation for NRA supported local gun-rights lawyer to give the Attorney some advice. I'd like to see SAF step in to help, if this needs to go to Federal district court.
Here's a clip from the GoFund.me explanation.
"Thus we created the "DeVost 2nd Amendment Defense Fund" here at GoFundMe.com. Our initial goal is $50,000.00 of which no matter what happens in Alfred's case, Attorney McCormick and I have agreed to take no more than $10,000.00 as reimbursement for legal fees. The remainder of any funds raised will be utilized to fund other victims of unlawful assaults on the 2nd Amendment in Illinois. Our hope and plan is to partner with the Illinois Rifle Association or other state-wide reputable Second Amendment rights organization so that they may best ensure that no citizen is denied access to justice as it comes to your Second Amendment rights due to lack of funds. I can think of no better way to honor Alfred DeVost's heroic stand than by helping to ensure that he never stands alone. You can speak your mind and your convictions by even the smallest of donations."
City of Waukegan should be ashamed of the high-handed and possibly illegal abuse of power by the cops and City Attorney. I'd like to see how much POST training is documented for arresting officer on training to evaluate and handle mentally ill arrestee's, as it looks like the officer abused his authority on the referral, and the City Attorney is doubling down in his arrogance. On the face of the facts here, I'd guess the City of Waukegan is looking at a civil lawsuit to recoup costs, and perhaps a civil rights violation.
The bad news is that as of 1:45 AM Tue. morning, its only 366 bucks.
C'mon, gang.
I just chipped in. It is up to a whopping $426 as of 10:10 a.m. Tuesday, May 05.
I'd dump some of my tax refund towards the cause, but i'm hoarding money in case some shit like this happens to me.
Welcome to Illinois.
And people wonder why I don't trust the cops…
Not me, DoomGuy. In fact, I wonder about people who do.
Not surprised that the local cop cheer leader El Mac hasn't posted anything.
Police take advantage of law abiding citizens. Law abiders think they are assisting officers when if fact they want to screw them for no other purpose than to collect revenue for the Triad.
Under the "law of agency", if an agent (warranted police officer) commits an act exceeding the authority of agency/position, that agent can be sued personally. Most unlikely the PD or city would offer to defend the officer in such case.
Many salient points here. But I think one that is often over-looked is how the system is designed to hurt the victim even when they're in the right. His property was seized, maybe illegally, maybe there's some BS loophole. Either way, this is just another example of how broken it is yet nothing will change. The people might, but the process is still there.
I used to live in that town…. Glad I left
What was the vet thinking agreeing to a psych evaluation?
Good article.
Done, I just donated to this worthy defense fund.
Well, I'll contribute to this kind thing in aid of getting an airing of the issues, which we seem not to do unless someone pushes back. Let's have the conversation … about summary punishment, the imposed costs of legal access, and transparency into what is done by agents acting on our behalf.
I'm a civil libertarian kind of guy. I'm uncomfortable with summary "enforcement" of anything, including when I agree with what's being enforced(*), and doubly so with enforcement agents using the authority we delegate to them, for our ends, to implement their own preferences.
The paltry funding so far suggests that the NRA, veterans' rights organizations, civil rights advocates, "good government" folks, civil libertarians, and various folks who "support our troops", aren't so much in support of what they claim to advocate. Or maybe only sometimes. I wish they'd be more precise in what they are for, and not.
(*) In this case, on the surface, I do not agree with what appears to being enforced. More accurately "imposed", as to be enforced it has to be legal.
Not "a never before arrested, partially disabled vet", a "a never arrested, partially disabled vet". He was never arrested.
A lot of the commenters here are missing the biggest point. The LEO didn't just take his gun, she has tried to take his entire 2A right. With the involuntary committment form in existence, depending on how far into The System it got, there is potentially a massive octopus of b.s. to be tracked down and eradicated before he can answer "no" on Form 4473, question 11f without someone trying to accuse him of a new crime. And it's likely to keep coming up. Over. And over. And over.
If you see a woman across the space who catches your eye, you have to make
get in touch with. However, don't be surprised if you have to continue to lead the conversation and
ask for his info. There are no hard and fast rules set or written in the rule books for all single Danish men when it comes for flirting with numerous Danish women online.
fantastic points altogether, you simply received a brand new reader. What would you suggest about your post that you just made some days ago? Any positive?

The Daleks are a fictional extraterrestrial race of mutants from the British science fiction television series Dr Who. The mutated remains of the Kaled people of the planet Skaro, they travel around in tank-like mechanical casings, and are a race bent on universal conquest and destruction.
They are also, collectively, the greatest alien adversaries of the Time Lord known as the Doctor, having evolved over the course of the series from a weak race to monsters capable of destroying even the Time Lords and achieving control of the universe.
As is common in long-running series whose back-stories are not mapped out and which are also the product of many different writers over the course of years, the fictional history of the Daleks has seen many retroactive changes and these have caused some continuity problems.

Why phone interview?
We live in the technology era. Everyone has his or her phone and any professional applying for the job may also have a good and reliable internet connection. Hence a telephonic interview is becoming popular to save cost by doing preliminary round at least. This saves time, money and efforts of both the candidate and the HR Department of the hiring organisation.
The other conditions which warrant the telephonic interviewer could be that you are located at quite a distance from each other ( may be in different cities or countries); the interviewer is in a hurry; you are not being allowed a day off by your present employers and so on.
Useful Phone interview Tips to take you to next level
Do it like you are doing a real one to one interview. Therefore, you may find that some of the tips are quite common to a regular job interview. However, there are many more important tips which are specifically for your next telephone Interview.
Take your telephone interview seriously
Get Full Details
This is the fundamental career related suggestion. Do not make the mistake of taking phone interview lightly. If you are talking to interviewer with half seriousness only of if you are not well prepared or are lying while talking be assured that the interviewer at the other end of telephone line is experienced enough to know about your state of mind. The interview will rightfully conclude that you are not serious about your career move.
Before the phone interview tips
1. Be Prepared Mentally and Physically
This means that you should be in room or in a space where there is no disturbance and external noise to distract you. Also this would help your interviewer or interviewers to hear you clearly and receive your response in the best possible manner.
It would be good idea to select a proper chair and table rather than couch or floor or the edge of the bed. The idea is that you sit straight, have your pad and pen along with your laptop in front of you.
This would let you present yourself as a good professional and let you concentrate fully on the job interview.
Overall, make sure that you are going to be comfortable for 10 or 15 or maybe 30 to 45 minutes.
2. Ensure that your hardware is in top shape
There can be a variety of points which the interviewer can raise on different subject matters about your career, education and skills. You may keep in mind that the number of questions and the diversity of subjects or topics to be discussed may increase in case there are more than one interviewers online and / or it is an in depth interview ( rather than a preliminary interview) scheduled with you.
Therefore, you need to ensure that:
- You have a good quality phone. If it is a cordless phone or a mobile phone then the battery should be fully charged. This will save you from the embarrassment of running for the charger when you are in the middle of the interview, discussing a crucial point going in your favour.
- Your laptop is fully charged or desktop is in ready condition, with the company profile, your LinkedIn profile on the browser tabs.
- There is a notebook or pad and a pen
3. Research the company and study the job description
In fact this exercise should be done much before the interview. You should study thoroughly study the company website for its core business, the top management, manufacturing facilities, range of products or services. Go deeper and beyond the website to know about the division for which you are being considered. Do this along with the job description you have received from the company or the recruitment consultant. It would also be a good idea to know about the main competitors of the company.
4. Keep your main points and notes in front of you
Keep a copy of your resume for reference in front of you. In case you are asked 'walk me through your resume', your resume copy will come very handy. Also the notes made by you while researching about the company and the main points of the job profile should be noted down neatly and kept on the table.
5. Prepare a few questions to be asked by you
Towards the end of the interview, in case you are given an opportunity to ask questions then you need not frame your questions hurriedly there and then. Think of a few important questions to be asked by you after the interview and jot them down. You may also take this opportunity to get any clarification for yourself – which you think is not provided to you by your recruitment consultant.
However, during the first round it is not advisable to ask about Salary, Benefits, Leaves allowed etc. Of course, these are also important in your career but wait for appropriate opportunity in the subsequent rounds.
During the phone interview tips
Our Career Development tools for you:
1. Greetings and Introductions
Just like the face to face regular job interview, there will be introductions. Make sure that you greet each and every interviewer by his or her proper name. Therefore, please do make conscious efforts to note down the name, title and if possible the department of the interviewer. This will be helpful during and after the interview.
2. Tone and clarity of your voice
You will appreciate that during the telephonic interview your voice has an additional role. It is to convey your body language, personality and emotions to the interviewer. The interviewer has to depend on tone, pitch and volume of your voice to learn about your levels of confidence, interest and involvement.
Therefore, if you think you need to do something about your voice then should try to practice a few times before the day of interview. You should sound enthusiastic and keen for the job being discussed.
3. Keep your accent clear and speak in one language only
We live in a global village. The probabilities are always very high that the person interviewing you is from some other cultural background. Hence speak very clearly and don't let your native pronunciation play with your accent.
In any case it is advisable to speak clearly and audibly.
4. Focus on the interview only
Do not be tempted to chat with a friend on face book or whatsapp – just because you are invisible to the interviewer. Be warned, this could spoil your interview. Also keep taking the notes of important points.
After the phone interview tips
Send a note of thanks to the interviewers. Don't have their contact details? Well remember that you had taken down their names and titles during the introductions? (During the interview – Tip #1).
Armed with these useful tips, I am sure you will be able to crack your job interview better. Best of Luck for your Career Success.

What Is Atopic Dermatitis?
Treating Moderate to Severe Eczema
Atopic dermatitis is the medical term for the chronic inflammatory skin disease that most of us call eczema. It's actually only one specific type of eczema—and the most common type. Atopic dermatitis typically first develops in young children, usually under the age of five. In fact, the National Eczema Foundation estimates that it affects about 10.7% of children in the United States. But the condition can and often does persist into adulthood, affecting as many as 10.2% of American adults. And while it's much less common to develop atopic dermatitis as an adult, it is possible to develop it at any age.

A definitive cause of atopic dermatitis hasn't been pinpointed yet, although researchers believe a combination of genetic and environmental factors is the most likely culprit. A family history of eczema, asthma or allergies seems to increase the risk of developing atopic dermatitis. Eczema doesn't have a cure, either, but there are numerous treatments and self-care strategies that can help you manage it.
Symptoms and Triggers of Atopic Dermatitis
Dry, itchy skin is probably the most well-known and common symptom of atopic dermatitis. But people with eczema can also develop rashes on their faces, hands, feet, the creases of their elbows and behind their knees. Sometimes your skin will develop red scaly patches, which can thicken and become leathery. Unfortunately, many people with thick, leathery patches find that they itch almost constantly. You might also notice some small blisters forming on your skin. Those blisters may even break open and weep fluid.
If you live in a dry climate, the arid air may aggravate your condition. Other factors can also play a role—they don't cause atopic dermatitis but they can make existing symptoms worse or trigger a flare-up. These are some of the things that you may want to try to avoid as much as possible:
Dry skin
Heat and humidity
Detergents and soaps
Cleaning products and chemical solvents
Air pollution (including smoke)
Perfumes and some cosmetics
Certain fabrics, notably wool and some synthetics
As tempting as it may be, scratching that dry, itchy skin is one of the worst things you can do. Your already sensitive and irritated skin will not appreciate the further damage you can inflict on it by scratching it. Scratching can break open the skin, which can lead to secondary skin infections.
Treatment for Atopic Dermatitis
To diagnose atopic dermatitis, your doctor will examine your skin and ask about your family medical history, since there can be a genetic component to this condition. You can also discuss any allergies or other conditions you have that may play a role.
Once you know what you're dealing with, you and your doctor can discuss the best treatment for you. Your treatment plan will vary based on your age, symptoms and general health. Typically, your doctor will encourage you to develop and practice a regular skin care routine—think gentle soaps for washing, warm baths instead of hot showers, and regular application of moisturizers to retain or restore moisture in your skin. You should also try to avoid your triggers, the substances or circumstances that lead to flare-ups.
Parents caring for babies or young children with atopic dermatitis may also try to keep their children cool, since overheating can make the eczema symptoms worse. Experts suggest dressing your children in soft, cool clothing and keeping their fingernails trimmed so they can't scratch their tender skin.

Hey guys, last night I had tons of fun at Fashion Night Out in Bal Harbour. I went to the DVF event and her new collection is just amazing, for fall Diane Von Furstenberg have the most amazing prints, and all the vibrant colors that I adore. I cannot wait to one day get my very own wrap dress. I took this picture in the DVF store I was wearing 7 of all mankind shorts, Cole Haan heels, H&M top and a Bar III blazer. After DVF I made sure to hit all the other stores Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Chloe, Neiman Marcus, Saks and so one. Below are a few items that I crushing over, these sandals are just amazing so pretty.
I love this Balenciaga purse, this picture doesn't even do it justice, it is the brightest yellow ever like a sunshine love it!
Last but not least, that dress is made all out of sequin, it is a bit showy but it is so beautiful and would be perfect for a new years eve party. Just pure perfection!
Thank you so much for reading.

This was Genevieve Bujold's American TV debut.
In Shaw's lengthy version of the story of the Maid of Orleans, there is an epilogue in which, years later, Joan converses with her captors, judges and jailers and all agree upon her innocence but their ghosts are horrified at her suggestion that she return again. He ends the play with Joan commenting on the perversity of human nature:
"0 God that madest this beautiful
earth, when will it be

How long, 0 Lord, how long?"

Boeing hits back in dogfight with Airbus
Boeing has fought back against Airbus in the battle for dominance of the commercial jet market by announcing a 50-plane order from All Nippon Airways for 7E7 Dreamliner jets.
Boeing used the $6 billion (£3.36 billion) deal, a record launch order for the Seattle-based company, to unveil formally the 7E7, a fuel-efficient aircraft designed to carry between 250 and 300 passengers.
The unveiling of the aircraft, which will be Boeing's first all-new commercial jet for a decade when it enters service in 2008, comes amid a battle against Airbus for market dominance. Airbus last year near Boeing on orders for the fourth time in five years.
EADS, which owns 80 per cent of Airbus, this morning announced plans to overtake Boeing in all markets within…

Error Analysis In Mathematics Education
However, these low-level behavioral data are notoriously difficult to analyze due to the challenges associated with extracting meaning from sparse data stored at such a small grain size. Teachers can analyse errors using the following steps: Step 1 Collect evidence of learning by asking the student to complete a number of problems of the same type. Pupils' errors may be caused by semantic differences between mathematical language and natural language, by individual differences in spatial abilities, by deficiencies in the mastery of prerequisites, by incorrect associations or The student either added all the numbers together as in the first example or recorded the answer with the numbers reversed as in the second example. his comment is here

"When was the first time you remember not wanting to be in your body?"
My counselor sits across from me in an armchair, her eyes steady.
I fall still on the couch, becoming very aware of the movement of my chest as I breathe. My mind casts back and I instantly know the time, the memories I could share. Silent, I feel the words in my mouth and decide if I'm going to tell her.
It's only a moment's pause because I've been seeing Ellen for a while now and I'm comfortable with her. The pause is for me to cradle painful memories in my hand and hold them out to her, hoping that maybe I can share them and feel nothing, even as they prickle on my palm.
"When I was 11," My voice is steady and factual. She knows this story already, we've talked about it in another context. "When everything happened with Cara."
That's usually how I reference it. For a long time I didn't know what to call it. When they warned us about "bad touch" in school, they showed videos of strange, unfamiliar men. When it happened to others in my family, to friends I knew, it was an older man, a relative. What is it when it's your niece, female and five years younger? What is it when it's not their sex organs on you, or vice versa, but you still feel violated?
I didn't have words, for a long time, for staying awake until I knew the other person was asleep. Knowing that as soon as she thinks I'm asleep, she's going to climb onto my bed and try to put her hands in my underwear. It's not safe until I'm sure she's asleep and not going to try anything. I didn't have words for the way my stomach would hurt when she would try to spy on me changing clothes, getting out of the shower. For being pinned down by someone just heavy enough, sitting on my chest just right, that I can't throw her off as she mashes her lips onto mine and tries to force her tongue past my clenched teeth.
What is it when she's female, younger and smaller than you? When you're the oldest of all the kids and the most responsible?
Ellen gave me the words "sexual assault." She gave me something to put those memories in, a context from which to view them.
We're talking about this because Ellen has helped me with a lot that I've struggled with – I can go past the first date now, without panicking. I can have sex. I'm a lot better about giving myself permission to go for it – to try something new and be ok if I fail, or the experience isn't what I hoped. None of the changes happened over night, but overall I'm in a much better place than when I first sat on that couch and started talking to Ellen.
Despite all that growth though, I still have not been able to do one thing I've longed for – to shrink.
I'm 300 pounds and I've been there for about seven years, with no end in sight. My body is my shield. It keeps people out. It's easy to be invisible. It feels safer. And if my shield is also a cage, well, there are prices to being safe. I've spent my adult life trying to figure out how to unlock that door while also holding it shut.
I'm almost 30, a long way from 11, but the lessons learned as a child cannot be unlearned, unfelt. Coping mechanisms become habit, habit becomes practice, and what you practice becomes who you are.
I'm trying something new with a new counselor (though I still see Ellen once every 4-6 weeks for perspective and what I jokingly call "maintenance"). Amanda uses brain integration therapy, emotional freedom technique, and other things that seem very "alternative" and hokey, except they've been helping me.
We use affirmations a lot. "I can easily make healthy choices," "I am safe in a healthy body," "I can easily breathe in uncomfortable situations," and many more. It can feel silly, but after a few sessions I've found myself thinking, "I can easily make healthy choices" and bypassing the frozen pizza aisle at the grocery store.
I find myself rolling the idea of "safe" and "healthy" a lot in my head. Sometimes old memories that I haven't thought about in years will pop up, like being 13, riding the bus home and a boy loudly talking about how my tits bounced when I ran. I make slow shifts and past experiences and old fears surface and stretch.
I'm learning to breathe through the discomfort and uncertainty. I've done a lot of work already with Ellen, and I know I'm capable of more than I believe.
I breathe through the fears of my 11 and 13 years old self. I repeat, "I am safe in a healthy body," to Amanda. I imagine putting down the shield and opening the cage that I don't need anymore.
I breathe in. I get knocked down and lay there, feeling the ground.
I breathe out, and get back up.
❤ Sunshine
Many thanks to my good friend Lorelai for being willing to take photos of me in my underwear. We can cross that one off the list.

They'll chase you. They'll rip you open. They'll feed on you…When the sickness came, every parent, policeman, politician – every adult – fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry. Only children under fourteen remain, and they're fighting to survive. Now there are rumours of a safe place to hide. And so a gang of children begin their quest across London, where all through the city – down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground – the grown-ups lie in wait. But can they make it there – alive?
Teens battle diseased grown-ups in this post-apocalyptic thriller full of unexpected twists and quick-thinking heroes
Normally, the word "grown-ups" bring moans and groans to misbehaving kids. In The Enemy, by renown author Charlie Higson, however, "grown-ups" mean "Run, or you'll get eaten"! All adults over the age of sixteen have either died or turned into hideous decomposing, brainless, flesh-eating monsters. The children of Holloway have divided themselves into two groups, some living in Waitrose, the others in the Morrisons supermarket, each with their own leaders.
Life is tough, and only getting worse, with one kid getting eaten or killed almost everyday. Food is scarce, the kids are so desperate, they've started eating dead dogs. When a stranger arrives in the most unusual outfit saying he can take them to a safe place, it seems to good to be true for the Holloway kids. When they ask him where that safe place is, the answer is even more suspicious – The Buckingham Palace. After some debate, the kids decide they'll go, since they've got nothing to lose.
As I read this book, it reminded me a lot of Gone by Michael Grant, and I kept expecting the kids in this book to develop super-powers just like the ones in Gone. There's a lot of blood and gore, and the loss of lives is painful at times. But its very face-paced, so readers won't feel as emotional as with some other books. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with it, and I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars because I think it could have had a little more substance to it.
