With staying home more and getting dressed less I'm not hitting 30 wears as much as I usually would with my clothes, although I'm sure my pyjamas and loungewear have great numbers of wear now! So I had a look around for other things I might have hit 30 wears with and found I've worn this cute turquoise tassel necklace 32 times! It's not the first necklace I've hit that goal with either, I wore a teething necklace well over 30 times when the kids were younger!
30 Ways To Wear: Turquoise Tassel Necklace
The colours of this necklace are beautiful! With the gold chain, cloudy white stone pendant and the little beaded turquoise tassels, it really goes with so much and is often the perfect finishing touch to an outfit. I've heard turquoise jewellery goes with everything and this necklace proves that! Neutrals, greens, blues, yellow, reds, orange, pink... it works with every colour.
Cost Per Wear
This tassel necklace was an impulse buy at Jeanswest during a shopping trip with my sister, back in October 2018. It was on sale for $14.99, which was 40% off so I got a bargain! At 32 wears, it works out at 47 cents a wear which is pretty good. It still looks new, none of the gold tone has started rubbing off the hardware, so I know I'll get a lot more wear from it in future too.
Matching Turquoise Necklace To Other Pieces In An Outfit
You know if you have followed me for a while that I love a bit of matchy-matchy! If you're not sure how to wear a colourful necklace like this try matching it with other turquoise pieces in your outfit! I like wearing my aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, or my teal Balenciaga first bag with this necklace bit you can also match it to a print of something you're wearing like I have with the maxi dresses.
Turquoise Necklace With Green
Turquoise is not too similar to wear with green! I've found that no matter the shade of green - a neutral olive or a brighter emerald, this turquoise necklace compliments it well.
Turquoise Necklace With Blue
Just like with the green outfits above, any shade of blue in your outfit pairs nicely with a turquoise necklace. I do quite like wearing this necklace with that navy printed maxi dress though 😂 You can see it works just as well with the cobalt knit or the pale blue denim jacket.
Turquoise Necklace With Red
I love the contrast of turquoise and red together! Blue and red is a colour pairing I wear a lot and once I decided to try this turquoise necklace with red I just kept repeating it. It's a good way to add an extra touch of colour to your outfit.
Turquoise Necklace With Neutrals
While I've worn this necklace with a few different colours above it's also really good against a neutral outfit, or a neutral piece in your outfit. It really pops and stands out against black or grey.
Turquoise Tassel Necklace In The Office
A tassel necklace brings a little touch of boho to your outfit and it doesn't just work with casual outfits, it looks pretty good in the office too with a pencil skirt to stop your outfit looking overly formal. I've worn this to the office a lot, back when we all used to work in offices...
Adding a Turquoise Necklace As An Extra Colour In An Outfit
Because turquoise goes with everything, I like to add this necklace to an outfit as a way of introducing a third or fourth colour without trying too hard. If you're unsure you can try match it with something else like I have with the bag in the last maxi skirt outfit there, or you can just add it as an extra pop of colour against an already colourful outfit. Orange, green and yellow, green and yellow and blue...it works with any colour combination!

This month, let's talk about cleaning out that closet of yours and making space for newcomers! This topic really excites me because it is the second step to creating a closet that allows you to select items blindly and still walk out of the door making a statement to the world! Please don't think that I am this excited when I start pulling out the oversized shopping bags and garbage bags to fill them with clothes, shoes, and accessories that I have spent my hard-earned money on. This definitely does not fill my heart with joy, but what does put the sparkle into my eyes is the fact that I will have so much room for more STUFF! And when I say stuff, I mean fresh and affordable new items to enlighten my clothing racks and jewelry stands.
Just imagine yourself standing at the door of your closet and saying, "I know I need to get rid of some stuff but don't know to start. I WANT TO KEEP EVERYTHING!"
My sisters in shopping, let me help you get this cleaning party started. First things first, start small. Go to those jewelry boxes and chests and break out the garbage bag to throw away custom jewelry that has tarnished. It's the worst to see some one wearing a costume ring or bracelet that is now red or a rust color because they forgot to take them off a couple of times before washing their hands. I'M GUILTY, so I know what I am talking about. The cheapest thing to replace is the bejewels; however, the cheaper they are, the faster they are to turn. If you are as guilty as I am about forgetting to take off your costume jewelry before washing your hands, invest in some real jewelry. I only wear costume rings when I am going out to an event because I wash my hands too often throughout the day for them. I also stack my costume bracelets with real gold and silver bangles. I typically put a real bracelet closet to my hands and then stack my watch and costume bracelets behind it; that way they catch the water first and slow the tarnishing process for my costume bracelets.
So after we've cleaned out the jewelry, we'll keep up the pace with placing those scarves that are all stringy and those hats with all of the lent balls in those oversized shopping bags for Goodwill. These are items that others can use but we can replace at reasonable prices. If your scarves and hats are designer, take photos of them and place them on Poshmark and Thriftflip for a month to see if you can sell them for a little cash to buy new ones. Keep them in the bag; that way, if they don't sell they are prepared to be dropped off. Scarves and hats can definitely add spice to a weekend get-up. Remember my consignment hat from last weekend? That hat set my outfit off! Oh Yes! Don't be afraid to branch out if you aren't a hat wearer. This is one of the cheapest accessories to experiment with. I had a girlfriend of mine tell me that her head was too big for a hat! I love you A.B., but NO SUCH THING! Just like most clothes aren't one size fit all, neither are accessories. Take your time and find one that works for YOU! Make a day out of it with your girlfriends. Make it a day when you only shop for specific things. If I do any store shopping, I typically only come with accessories, because I truly believe that they are the hallmark to any wardrobe.
Alright, so we are ready get our game face on and tackle the clothing and outerwear. All I can say is have your bottle of wine ready, because after you lace the giveaway bag with all of the items that you've been planning to take to the seamstress to get a button replace or a hem let out, you are going to need it! Don't be like me and have a sewing machine and still go to have seams stitched and alterations done by someone else. SHAME ON YOU! LOL
YES, GIRLFRIENDS, go through that closet piece by piece. You should know exactly what you have to work with. My mom has always teased me about not selecting what I am going to wear the next day the night before. WHY, I say to myself? I know exactly what I have and I know where it is. Your closet should be organized just like the food in your kitchen pantry. For those with sloppy kitchen pantries ... clean it up ladies! LMBO ... now bake the closet purge.
If you haven't lost weight YET … put it in the bag. If you cannot comfortably flex in those tops ... put it in the bag. If you haven't worn it in two seasons (ESPECIALLY if it still has a tag on it) ... PUT IT IN THE BAG. If you have to camouflage missing buttons, busted seams, discolorations ... put it in the bag. And if you have been on your good girl and it's too big ... you should HAPPILY put it in the bag!
Now that that's out of the way, I want you to get on your knees and say a small prayer because we are about to tackle that shoe closet. Go ahead and take a sip of that wine I asked you to break out earlier. I typically just go ahead and take a bottle into my shoe room with me along with my favorite potato chips (Lay's Plain ... GO LAYS). Yes, this is serious business if you have to be told, so let's get started.
We are going to take this in stages just as we've done with your other items. First, look at the space where you keep your shoes and decide whether you need to make room for more, do a complete overhaul, or just find a totally new space for them! I try to keep no more than 300-350 pairs at one time, so that helps me eliminate when the psychological stress of it all gets to be a bit much.
After we have surveyed our shoe canvas and know what our end goal is (for me it's all about staying under my number because I run out of shelf space), we are then ready to get started. The first ones we want to interview are those with missing taps, very noticeable scuffs, toe creases, filthy insoles (from being barefoot in the summer), discolored leather, Irish pennants (for you military girls, you know that means stray stitching), and tilted heels! Bring them front and center! Guess what? Put them in either bag you want ... the Goodwill or the trash ... BUT THEY MUST GO! You haven't taken them to the shoe repair shop in all this time, so DON'T GET MOTIVITED NOW THAT YOU KNOW THEY HAVE TO LEAVE!!!! No ma'am! Say your last words and kiss the casualties of the foot war GOODBYE! (Before I go ANY further, let me not forget to address those of you who still keep shoeboxes. Ummm, let's upgrade the shoedrobe with some nice fabric or plastic boxes from IKEA or The Container Store if you don't have the shelving to display them.)
Now that I've covered that, let's do an inventory to determine how many boots (high-heel and flat), pumps, flats, and sandals by color and material. Depending on what region you live in, suede is out of the question in July, so the material of the shoe should have a category of its own. The purpose of this inventory is to get you a great idea of what types of shoes are missing from your shoedrobe.
Once you have taken an inventory, look a look at what you have left. I want you to bring those shoes and boots that you haven't worn for more than three seasons front and center. Now ask yourself, how many times have you worn them this past year. If the answer is less than five, put them in those things to sell on Poshmark, eBay or Thriftflip! They are obviously of good quality if they've lasted this long, but if you haven't worn them and need the space, I suggest letting someone else take them for a stroll!
Hopefully, by now you have created some much-needed space to fill the gaps you discovered during your inventory!!!! OMG! You have just created a reason to shop!!!!!!! I am literally screaming "WOOT WOOT" right now while typing!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
So for me, I would take a shower, load all of my bags for Goodwill in the trunk of my car, grab that bottle of wine from my shoe room and head to the couch to shop for shoes online ALL NIGHT, but I don't expect you to do that! LMBO! I do, however, expect you to give yourself a round of applause and treat yourself because you have accomplished quite a few things by doing this: (1) You have given your clothing a breathing treatment to assume its duties for the upcoming season; (2) You have donated to a worthy cause; and (3) You have given yourself a reason to SHOE SHOP UNTIL YOUR WALLET CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!! Now your shoedrobe is looking forward to spring just as much as you are!
Until next time ... keep it classy sassy!

Well, for one reason or another this week has gotten away from me. I did take down all my Fall decorations, but they are waiting to be put into the attic and my Christmas things are waiting to be taken down. So tonight, when I get in from work, I plan to dust and vacuum and get everything in order for Saturday morning.
I have decorating to complete this weekend, and a toy to finish sewing and a few more to make, I have Christmas cards I need to start writing and a package to get ready to mail to someone special. And, in all of this I want to make sure that I take a bit of time to breath, because I haven't been able to do that this week.
Here's to the weekend! For with it comes the glow of twinkle lights from our soon to be festive holiday cottage!
P.S. Happy St. Nicholas Day! I hope you were good and he left a little surprise in your shoe!

Rivers Alive cleanup set for Saturday | Environment
MILTON, Ga. -- On Saturday, Oct. 18 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Milton's annual "Rivers Alive" waterways cleanup, education and protection program will be held at locations across the city.
The Milton Grows Green Committee (MGG) is co-sponsoring the event with Bailey Farm & Gardens, Inc., which has been involved with the project for 17 years. Rivers Alive 2014 will kick off from its traditional location at Bailey Farm & Gardens, 255 Hickory Flat Road, one mile west of the Birmingham Crossroads.
Volunteers will gather at 9 a.m., then clean up identified streams, roadways and school sites to help keep our city and waterways pure and beautiful. Everyone, regardless of age, is welcome.
Depending on age and capabilities, volunteers will be assigned to predetermined local waterways to remove debris deposited from upstream and left by passers-by. Waders and boots will be a plus for those who want to get in the river.
Milton Adopt-a-Road groups are encouraged to have a clean-up during the event and stop by for refreshments and recognition.
For information or to register for the clean-up as a group or individual, please contact Milton Grows Green at email@example.com or Bill and Julie Bailey of Bailey Farm & Gardens, Inc. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 404-310-6344. You may also contact Cindy Eade, environmental sustainability coordinator for the City of Milton, at 678-242-2509.
The Rivers Alive Cleanup is a unique, hands-on opportunity to learn more about our Coosa River watershed and help improve the quality of our drinking water. The mission of Rivers Alive is to create awareness and involvement in the preservation of Georgia's 70,150 miles of water resources through local waterway cleanup events that include streams, rivers, lakes, beaches and wetlands. It is an outreach program of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. — The CEO of a Virginia security company says one of his contract employees was the American victim in an attack in Libya that left five foreigners dead.
Cliff Taylor of Crucible LLC of Fredericksburg identified the worker as David Berry. He declined to release any additional information on Berry, citing security concerns.
In a statement, Taylor said Berry was a contractor with Crucible.
Taylor said the company was still gathering details on the death of Berry, who was among five foreigners killed Tuesday when a gunman stormed a luxury hotel in the Libyan capital.
A senior U.S. State Department official confirmed the death of one American, but provided no details.
Taylor said Crucible employs less than 100 people.

The dilemma of age estimation of children and juveniles in South Africa
To the Editor: Requests for medical practitioners to perform age estimations in children and juveniles without formal documentation in South Africa (SA) are usually made by the courts or social workers in line with the provisions of the Child Justice Act.[1] The involved individuals may be undocumented SA children -possibly abandoned or in conflict with the law, or, more commonly, unaccompanied or separated foreign minors with no proof of their chronological age.
Age defines the relationship between an individual and the state and, in turn, the protection and/or support to which an individual may be entitled.[2] The possible ramifications of age estimations are quite serious and may, and do, often infringe on the involved individual's rights, including the possibility that a child will not receive support from the state if deemed an adult. There may be no protection for a child from detention or their wrongful incarceration with adults. Conversely, an adult, incorrectly assessed to be a child, may expose children to risk when placed in a children's environment.[2]
There is no consistency in the practice of age estimation throughout the world and it may consist of non-medical methods only (i.e. an interview and/or review of documentation), various medical methods (skeletal assessment, dental assessment with or without dental radiography, skeletal radiographic assessment, physical assessment or psychological assessment), or a combination of these methods.[2-4]
In SA, it is stated in section 13 of the Child Justice Act that if, during an assessment of a child, the age of the child is uncertain, the probation officer must make an age estimation. It further states that the probation officer can use certain information such as previous age determinations, statements by the parents or the child, school documents, baptism or other religious certificates, or age estimations by medical practitioners. The probation officer must submit the age estimation on a prescribed form to the inquiry magistrate and the estimation can be changed before the child is sentenced, if more information regarding the child's age arises.[1] No further guidance with regard to the experience or qualifications of the medical practitioner or how and where these assessments should be done is provided. This leaves the procedure open for individual and subjective interpretation and the application thereof. There is no consistency in this practice across SA.
In Cape Town, when children and juveniles are referred to medical practitioners for an age estimation, these assessments are usually done by clinical forensic practitioners, and consist of a physical examination and completion of a set form: Form 7 - Medical report and age assessment of child in terms of section 48(2) of the Children's Act, 2005 (Act no. 38 of 2005).]]> Requests for age estimations are increasing with regard to the increased number of immigrants. From January to June 2016, 37 children were referred for age estimations to the Clinical Forensic Unit at Victoria Hospital, Cape Town. No published data are available on the estimated number of foreign undocumented children in SA. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) September 2015 factsheet, there are 112 192 refugees and an estimated 463 940 asylum seekers in SA, Lesotho and Swaziland, with the majority originating from Zimbabwe, Somalia, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi.[5]
These age estimations are often complicated by various factors such as non-availability of collateral information, language barriers, children fearful of providing any information because of the dread of deportation, and a lack of population-specific charts to use to compare anthropometric measurements.
Despite these complicating factors, the court expects the medical practitioner to come to a 'scientific' conclusion regarding an approximate or even an exact date of birth or chronological age, and will in most cases accept the estimated age without question.
Age estimation is especially difficult when it comes to the assessment of young persons (aged 15 years to early 20s) where physical maturity does not necessarily equate to being an adult.[2]
The difficulties and ethical dilemmas underlying these assessments have been recognised internationally and led to controversial debates and attempts to address these concerns, particularly in the context of increasing human migration, and it is clear that more discussions are needed to determine what is 'ethically and morally acceptable in terms of the error margin in assessing age'.[2,3] It is recommended that age assessment is only employed as a last resort, and if it is performed, a holistic approach is recommended.[2,3]
In the SA milieu, discussions between the various role players (Department of Health, including dentists, paediatricians and clinical forensic practitioners, immigration control, SA Police Service, Department of Justice and Department of Social Development) and further research and training are urgently indicated to protect the rights of the affected individuals.
A holistic and multidisciplinary approach, with clear guidelines for the management of these vulnerable individuals, should be established, taking into account the inherent margins of error in these medical assessments, and ensuring that the assessments are done in a safe child- and gender-sensitive manner,'61 by experienced and trained role players.

In Entertainment industry, a player deals with managing stores like Jazz clubs, arcades, Billiard Halls, while Casinos and Horse Racing courses await entertainment tycoons. The management of Sales industry can be difficult but it is bringing a big payoff. In Catering industry, the player meets the world of hotel and resorts business. Service industry involves a management of service-related stores such as barbershops, massage paroles and tattoo shops.
By gaining more experience and success, the player receives level points and rewards. Being a successful businessman in Liberty City will not bring the participant to play an easy task, it will certainly involve him in managing store fronts, factories, and training employees, building relationships with the media and with the local government.
Through media newspapers, TV, radio, Internet , a player can publish comments to promote their companies or to attack the competitors. BTO is structured to be a real business-oriented web-based game with involving a building aspect that makes it also a construction and management simulations. In the meantime, investors are also playing a big role during the game where they provide you a series of missions to walk you through step-by-step.
Each mission accomplished is not just one step closer to establishing a business empire, but also a position where a player gets some good treats, such as money and gold, which plays a major part in the game. Overall, the game does not require economic or business background knowledge, but is very well welcomed. Graphically, the game seems to do a good work in comparison to other web-based strategy games or simulations. It is based as a role-playing game that simulates business process management in a 3D environment.
The initial version was only open to the academic community and has been in use at over a 1, universities and colleges as far and wide as Beijing and Manchester since its launch in [ 39 ].

it's been awhile, huh?
just haven't had too much to blog about. i've been a little busy - not too bad. i have some new designs for spring that i'll have to show you. still working on them, but i'll show ya soon!
we've been doing a lot of singing around here lately. it so happens that hudson loves music. he got a drum & some drum sticks for christmas & if you've seen us since then, you've probably also seen the drum sticks because he won't put them down. my one rule is no drumming in bed b/c the crib is beaten up as it is with his old teething habits, but other than that i just let him take one with us where ever we go. it makes him happy :)
so he's starting to sing, too. the other day i woke up (clint was already gone) to hudson singing over the monitor - it was so cute, i can't even tell you! that particular time he was singing none-sense words + "mama, daddy", but he also likes to sing a song that says "shine, shine, shine, shine this little light of mine". his interpretation is "shy, shy, shy, shy".
his favorite lately is that song "obla-dee, obla-dah, life goes on nah nah nah nah nah life goes on." (well, that's how i sing it anyway!). we started singing it to him about a year ago when he would constantly babble something that sounded like "ohbahdee", which reminded us of the song. anyway, now he sings "ohbahdee, ohbahdee (then pause & scrunch up nose) nah nah nah". it's too funny!
happy weekend to all!

hope you are well!

S. M. W. – OnOne
OOO: How did you get the name 'LORDWILLIN'?
LW: "I stole the name from the Clipse album " Lord Willin'", haha, na I'm not really sure to be honest, it just came to me one day, I was kind of going through a weird religious phase in my life & I think I heard someone use the term " Lord Willin'" and it just clicked. I was having trouble coming up with a stage name because the one I used prior was taken already and someone had told me, one day it will just come to you and it did. Oh and " Lord Willin" by the Clipse is a dope album."
OOO: What did you listen to growing up?
LW: "My earliest introduction to music pretty much came from my father who worked in the concert business for a while. He played alot of classic rock, jazz & R&B. Probably around age 7 or 8, I really discovered Hip Hop & pretty much became obsessed with it. I also always listened to rock, at the time probably more alternative & heavy metal. As I got older I discovered Punk and Hardcore and really related and found a home there. I feel like Hip Hop went down a strange path that I didn't like so much and Punk and Hardcore still kept it " real". My influences range from Wu Tang Clan to Jimi Hendrix to Agnostic Front to Rage Against The Machine to Bad Brains to Nas to Johnny Cash and you get the point, I listen to a wide variety of music. I'd like to start a band one day & do all kinds of crazy shit, haha."
OOO: What is in your deck or on your mp3 player now?
LW: "Like I stayed in my last answer, I have a wide variety of musical taste. My IPOD is filled with all different kinds of music, everything from Roni Size to Madball to Slaughterhouse to Public Enemy to Slayer and beyond. I love all kinds of music. I used to hate country because I thought it was all corny pop nonsense but I recently really got into the REAL COUNTRY music, outlaw country, the real shit, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams etc. Im a weirdo but Im also pretty selective with what I listen to these days, alot of new music sucks. "
OOO: What are your musical and non-musical influences?
LW: "Shit, if I were to list my musical influences, it would probably take up half the magazine. Let's just say I love music that I can relate to, that keeps it true so to speak, that talks about real life & real issues, that's clever & creative, so NOT MUSIC THAT'S POPULAR , for the most part. As far as non musical, i'd like to cite Bruce Lee, Hunter S.Thompson , George Carlin & real gangsters , hooligans, revolutionaries, authors, and rebels. Gary Busey is a cool motherfucker to. "
OOO: What is the general message that you are trying to convey with your music?
LW: "That I am completely and utterly out of my mind and I should probably be locked away in a maximum security padded room in Siberia."
OOO: How did you get to where you are today in your career?
LW: "I'd like to say hard work, determination, loyalty blah blah blah, but really there's just no way I could live a " normal" life. Music is for me, it's a struggle, you have to sacrifice a lot such as a " normal" life and certainly you lose good deal of sleep & sanity but I love music and i think Im pretty good at it and hopefully it all pays off in the end. If not, you may see me in the UFC or on America's Most Wanted."
OOO: What is your standpoint on music downloading?
LW: "Fuck it, I haven't copped an album in a while, so much wack music is coming out these days, even from your favorite artists, so sometimes it's safer to download an album, haha, na but I think it's a good & bad thing, I used to LOVE buying music, reading the inserts & credits, looking at the cd, not so much anymore but the artists do need support & if it's an artist I truly respect & are a fan of, I purchase album. I used to buy everything because I just wanted more & more for my collection, but that's slowed way down, plus im broke, so more than likely if you see me with a new cd, it's stolen."
OOO: What projects are you currently working on?
LW: "I always have a ton of music in the works. Right now I am focused on an E.P. for Ill Roc Records, Ezec what's up brother! I also have a new mixtape in the works & a project with U.K. DJ & Producer Billy Whizz which is going to be crazy and blow a lot of people's minds, that might be my sell out shit, haha. I am constantly coming up with new ideas so Im sure I will have other projects in the works very soon, that's all apart of being a creative artist & knowing in order to stay relevant that you have to keep making music. Like I mentioned earlier, i'd like to start a band on some Hardcore, Punk, Hip Hop, Funk, Jazz, Southern Rock, Metal crazy shit, so any musicians reading & interested, get at me! Also my Ill Roc Records street CD " Escape From Rhode Island" is out now on Itunes & I have a free compilation for download called " The Ski Mask Monk Chronicles" available on HipHopIsAwol.com, shout out to First Son Records. follow me on twitter @ LordWllin00."
OOO: What sorts of projects would you like to be a part of in the future?
LW: "Some sort of crazy band & a duet album with Michael McDonald."
OOO: Have you ever been 'Starstruck'?
LW: "No but if I met Gary Busey I'd be star struck. Fuck celebrities, haha."

Sanders' Statement Credits Trump's Flimsy Policies
Bernie Sanders, who was once considered by many to be the upset darling of the Democratic party, has finally made a statement about president-elect Donald Trump. If you were expecting Sanders to repudiate Trump for his hateful rhetoric against minorities across the board, he did. But I believe that in his statement, Sanders also gave too much credence to Trump and his anti-establishment rhetoric, which the senator believes moved the American people to vote him into office.
Sanders released this statement on Wednesday, after Hillary Clinton conceded the election to Trump:
Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics and the establishment media. People are tired of working longer hours for lower wages, of seeing decent paying jobs go to China and other low-wage countries, of billionaires not paying any federal income taxes and of not being able to afford a college education for their kids — all while the very rich become much richer.
To the degree that Mr. Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him. To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him.
The latter half of the letter, Sanders is clear that he would oppose any "racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environmental policies." Based on the kind of campaign that Sanders ran, that's relatively unsurprising. He based his policies on inclusion and hope, and it's natural that he would expect to see that from the person who was elected to lead the country.
It's the first part of the letter, however, that really disturbs me. Sanders seems to give a kind of bizarre thumbs up to Trump's ability to rally the exact kind of anti-establishment voters that the former Democratic candidate was going for himself (not to mention, though, that Sanders has been serving in Congress for decades now). In a weird way, Sanders — aside from the slight dig about billionaires not paying federal income tax — seemed to have found a renegade brotherhood in the president-elect.
That part of the speech could have, honestly, been pulled from one of Trump's campaign trail speeches, and that striking similarity is irresponsible. It could very well be Sanders throwing some major Democratic party shade. In a passive aggressive way, he could have been pointing out that the electorate wanted the anti-establishment change candidate, which Sanders certainly was for the Democratic party.
But whether or not it was a direct comparison or just a statement of fact, Sanders needs to make it very clear that Trump's plans aren't fully hatched. Trump, similarly to Sanders, was hailed as a candidate who wouldn't conform to typical Washington norms. The problem is, Trump never had a plan for how these radical plans would manifest.
Sanders, a veteran of Congress, has to understand that there are a certain number of rules that come with, yes, breaking them. Sanders, unlike Trump, knows these systems. Trump, on the other hand, has never been a part of them, and has demonstrated little in the way of substantive policy plans. With that in mind, it seems disingenuous for Sanders to even appear to be promoting Trump's anti-establishment plans in a way that would mirror his own.
In that way, Sanders and Trump have very little in common, even though they both represent an anti-establishment attitude that is apparently coursing through the United States. But for the sake of nuance, Sanders needs to qualify the differences before capitalizing on them.

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Brian Unmacht has been appointed president and CEO of Seattle-based, family-owned Bartell Drugs, the company announced today. Unmacht was named president of the 62-store chain in January 2015.
George D. Bartell has been the company's CEO for the past 25 years and will continue to serve as chairman. Jean Bartell Barber is the company's vice chairman and treasurer.

Bartell, the grandson of founder George H. Bartell, said Unmacht's appointment supports future succession plans as the company celebrates its 125th anniversary.
"Brian's dedication to customer service, well-developed leadership skills and grasp of our day-to-day operations has been quickly demonstrated. In his expanded role, he will play a very important leadership role in positioning us for long range growth," said Bartell.
Unmacht, a Seattle native, said the company's long-time commitment to customer service has not wavered since 1890.
"It's not only part of our heritage, it's a key element for our future success here in the Puget Sound area," he said. "We're very focused on serving neighborhoods throughout the region to meet their health and wellness needs."
Members of the fourth generation of the Bartell family are engaged in the company's succession transition, including Evelyn (Evie) Barber, who is re-joining the organization this year upon completion of graduate school. Other members of the family, including Hugh Barber, are spending time learning about the company's operations.

Birmingham Council has appointed Safia Akhtar Noor, a controversial Muslim Labour member, who has previously claimed that Islamic State does not exist and has dismissed Muslim terrorist attacks to a committee tasked with protecting children from Islamic radicalization and terrorism.
Breitbart Safia Akhtar Noor was suspended and then forced to resign as a school governor at Yew Tree Community School in Birmingham after several posts on her Facebook questioned if the terror group was an invention after the Westminster Bridge attack.
A study by the Henry Jackson Society think tank showed that a tenth of Britain's Islamic terrorists came from inner-city Birmingham.
On the day of the attack in March last year, she wrote: "Can people stop fighting on Facebook? Sadly people died in Westminster today but people die every day in Syria, Palestine, Africa, Rohingya, Kashmir. Need I carry on?!! Grow up and stop pointing fingers!"
Five days later she claimed in another message: "So someone got stabbed after the attack last week as a result of media and government claiming that SO CALLED ISIS HAD CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY." She added: "There is no ISIS and there is no proof."
Despite this, the law student was able to stand as a Labour candidate in May's local elections in the Small Heath ward – which has a majority Muslim population – and won with more than 3,000 votes. She is known as Councillor Akhtar in municipal circles, and in council papers.
Now, she has been appointed to the Children's Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee of the Labour-controlled council. The body looks over initiatives to prevent Islamic radicalization and extremism and has given guidance on the Prevent strategy, intended to stop people being drawn into terrorism.
Alex Yip, Conservative councillor for Sutton Wylde Green, questioned her selection to the committee. "It is shocking to think that the Labour administration would appoint Councillor Akhtar, of all the ones available, to this scrutiny committee," he told Birmingham Live.

HARARE – Although he has been at Club Brugge for only six months, Zimbabwe international Marvelous Nakamba is already the darling of the club's fans.
The former Bantu Rovers midfielder was snapped up last June by the current Belgium top flight log leaders following a successful spell with Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem.
Nakamba has quickly settled in at his new club where he has made himself a regular in the starting line up.
So far, the Zimbabwe international has started in 17 of the Brugge 23 league matches helping his side open an 11-point lead over second-placed Sporting Charleroi.
Nakamba has endeared himself to the Blauw-Zwart fans with one supporter Joere Verslyp setting up a fan page on Instagram for the Zimbabwe international.
Verslyp dedicates his time to updating followers of Nakamba's every move on social media with his page growing everyday.
"I started the fan page because I already followed Nakamba when he played for Vitesse. I liked his style, his motivation, his defence. When he signed for Club Brugge, I was excited," Verslyp told the Daily News on Sunday.
"And since the first talk with him I knew he wasn't only a good football player, but also a friendly young man. That's why I started a fan page, and why I have the Zim flag at every game possible."
FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME: Club Brugge fan Joere Verslyp poses with Nakamba's Vitesse Arnhem shirt.
When Verslyp starts talking about Nakamba's exploits, the Club Brugge fan's face lights up.
"He is by far one of the most talented defensive midfielders. With him in the team, our captain Ruud Vormer can develop his offensive qualities. Together with Hans Vanaken, the midfield is unstoppable," he says.
"His motivation and his qualities have also won us over. Brugge has a motto 'One Club, One Family, One Passion'. And he has showed he is part of the family. Not only on the pitch, but also off the field; he's a true gentlemen."
When Nakamba moved from Vitesse to Brugge, his transfer fee was pegged at £4 million.
Even though we are now living in a hyper-inflated transfer market where players are now costing over £100 million, at first some of the Blauw-Zwart fans were not convinced.
They felt the club had paid too much for an unknown quantity but Nakamba soon won over the fans with his performances on the field.
"At the beginning, many fans thought it was a little bit too much. I already knew him and his qualities, so I knew it was a bargain," Verslyp said.
"But Nakamba showed every doubting fan he's worth triple the amount Brugge paid for him."
With the Europe mid-season transfer window now open, Nakamba has in the past been linked with a move to English side Liverpool.
With captain Jordan Henderson struggling with injury and Emre Can reportedly heading to Juventus next season, Jurgen Klopp is in serious need to beef up his central midfield options.
The Zimbabwean international has been touted as the possible solution to Klopp's worries although nothing concrete has emerged.
Verslyp is convinced Nakamba can make the grade in the demanding and physical English Premier League but is urging caution against making an early move to Liverpool when he has not yet fully developed.
"He sure is a typical player for the Premier League. His defensive qualities are the kind they like to see there. He can tackle, recover the ball; a midfield vacuum cleaner," Verslyp said.
"I would rather see him develop at Brugge one more year before taking the big step. But if he goes in the summer, I would be the first to wish him good luck and to let him know: wherever he goes, I follow him. He's in my Brugges Heart forever."

It is aligned with LaGuardia's Inquiry and Problem Solving Core Competency and Digital Communication Ability rubrics. This assignment was peer reviewed and revised in the "Learning Matters: The Pedagogy of the Digital Ability" CTL seminar in 2017-2018. In the seminar, my work was reviewed by each of the participants as well as the leaders. I used their feedback to revise the assignment. In this sense, the seminar not only helped me develop the assignment, it allowed me to receive feedback from across the disciplines.
In this assignment, students advance the Digital Communication Ability as outlined in LaGuardia Community College's communication ability rubric, through digital collaboration and interaction in BlackBoard educational technology. Students use technology to both critique writing and communicate in a digital environment. This digital communication, employing collaborative exchange and interactive elements to enhance digital composition, also promotes digital literacy. As defined, digital literacy is more than simply digital skills using technology.
The assignment adheres to Scholarship as Conversation, one of the six frames outlined in the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Students develop their information literate abilities by:
- citing the contributing work of others in their own information production,
- contributing to scholarly conversation in a guided discussion,

Thoughts following the first two games of the season
The Blueshirts are back, baby
With the first two games in the books on the 2019-2020 season, we are starting to see what this Rangers team is going to look like this year. A really fun offensive team with major holes on defense and above-average goaltending. There will definitely be some lineup shuffling as the season goes a long, but it is nice to see the top line clicking, especially Artemi Panarin. A slow start could have jump started the New York tabloid machine, but he has come out looking mighty impressive to start the year.
Even though it's just two games, you can rightfully assume that I have some thoughts…
1. The Rangers really are who we thought they were, huh? I don't take much stock in being able to keep Ottawa's offensive stifled given their violent plunge into complete competitive irrelevance. You could see in the Jets game fairly clearly how they are going to struggle in their own end.
Now, granted, the defense did look better when Trouba was paired with Libor Hajek, but Brady Skjei has not had a good start to the season and Adam Fox is still finding his way. While the defense is definitely on the upswing overall, there is still likely to be some significant issues this year.
2. How about that power play? It almost made me forget all those years of guys simply passing the puck around the perimeter and firing low probability shots into shin pads. The puck movement was dynamic, players were moving and seeking out soft spots on the ice. There was more royal road lateral passing on the man-advantage this past week than I think I've seen in a decade.
I like Quinn's willingness to throw 4 forwards out there on PP1. I think Panarin gives them a different dimension as a point distributor and half-wall shooter, and Jacob Trouba is a perfectly capable compliment to that structure. Possession and chances on the power play, who knew?
3. I'm going to continue the media's praise heaping of Mika Zibanejad. He has been just so, so good. I have to assume that he generates the majority of his power from those blonde highlights in his flow. I don't see how else he could be doing these things.
4. I don't think I can overstate just how badly the Rangers need a 2C. It doesn't even have to be an actual 2C, just something better than Ryan Strome. Hell, put Lias Andersson there and just see what happens. I could certaintly see him clicking with Kakko. After a couple scotches, I could probably be convinced that Patrick Marleau could be a legitimate upgrade down the middle.
As much as I wouldn't think of breaking that top line up at the moment, given the success they have had, the complete void that is Strome has me concerned about Kakko's overall development. You can see flashes of the things he is capable of out there, but there has to be a competent center between him and Chris Kreider. Otherwise, you have two dynamic wings with no distribution.
5. The Rangers actually enjoy a fairly favorable schedule over the next couple weeks. Before seeing Washington, the Rangers get the Oilers and Devils. The following week, they will face Vancouver, Arizona and Buffalo before more difficult matchups with the Lightning and Bruins. 7 out of 10 against non-playoff teams to start the season for a young group is probably best-case scenario stuff. A couple of lucky bounces and Dave's prediction of a 9-0-0 start might start to become a possibility…
6. I thought that Henrik Lundqvist looked quite good against Winnipeg, despite the one soft goal. He tracked the puck well with simple, compact movement and let the game come to him. He didn't get antsy out there, as he is wont to do when his defense struggles around him. He made a number of really difficult saves in key situations to keep that game from slipping away. I do think he should be looking 50 or so starts this year to keep his body in one piece, but he is off to a good start.
Same with Alex Georgiev. While not tested as much in Ottawa, it was exactly the type of performance the Rangers will need when Lundqvist is on the bench. Just a competent showing with a big save or two against lesser competition. For what it's worth, I do believe Georgiev is capable of more than that, but with a weaker defense and a young team, I think that is a reasonable ask from the young netminder.
7. I can't recall who I saw make this statement on Twitter, but a prescient fan had opined that every game the Rangers will either win or lose 7-5. It was obviously hyperbole, but I don't think that reality is that far from the truth. In every contest, the Rangers will need a combination of goaltending and scoring that can out pace their deficiencies defensively. How frequently they can do that ultimately remains to be seen, but if the first two games are any indication, it will be a hell of a lot of fun watching them try.
That's it for me, gang. Enjoy your Rangers-free week!
