Dress...

 

Tara Lambert, 34, of Ohio, was dressed to kill in court, donning five-inch stilettos, tight-fitting dresses and an eye-popping diamond ring as she faced felony charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated murder.

A black and white checkered dress Lambert donned during the trial sold out everywhere after she was pictured wearing it in court.

Lambert believes her choice of courtroom attire may have negatively impacted the people who mattered most: the jury.

During her trial the jury heard that Lambert had 24 cosmetic surgeries during her career.She believed she was portrayed unfairly by the media as “a brainless, heartless, ex-model,”

She hired a hitman to kill her husband's ex wife. She was sentenced to 7 years in jail.

They'r Back...*

After one buttoned-up year, Playboy is bringing nude photographs back to its magazine. Playboy published its first non-nude issue in March 2016.

The new issue will include pictorials with March Playmate Elizabeth Elam, who graces the cover. Also in the magazine: a Playboy Interview with Scarlett Johansson, a profile of CNN political commentator Van Jones and an article on hip-hop duo Run the Jewels

Before becoming the magazine's chief creative officer last year, Hefner told L.A. Weekly in July 2016 that ending nude photography "was a bad idea, the whole thing."

Also returning: the Party Jokes section and The Playboy Philosophy, a political and cultural column written by Hefner, nearly 40 years after his father last wrote it for the magazine.

So welcome back... Just a thought.

‘Love is an ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses.’   Thomas Robert Dewar

’ I wasn't kissing her. I was just whispering in her mouth.’  Albert Einstein.

To fall in love is awfully simple, but to fall out of love is simply awful.  Anonymous

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.  Joan Crawford

Love is much nicer to be in than an automobile accident, a tight girdle, a higher tax bracket or a holding pattern over Philadelphia.  Judith Viorst.

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another. Thomas Merton.

Scam...*

Doctors have long prescribed a muscle relaxant [cyclobenzaprine] to treat back strains, using five- or 10-milligram pills.

However, doctors who dispense the drugs directly to patients have recently embraced a new pill that contains 7.5 milligrams of the muscle relaxant. There is no evidence the pill works any better except for doctors and the middlemen. They can charge about ten times as much.

States have moved to crack down on so-called physician dispensing of prescription drugs. But doctors and companies have responded by exploiting loopholes in those rules.

Anew dosages of two older painkillers, tramadol and hydrocodone have also appeared. The  study is financed by insurers and state governments.

By producing a novel dosage, a manufacturer could also create a new “average wholesale price” for that dose that bore little relation to existing forms of the drug and could be many times higher.  Need some actions against the greed.

United states forces are still in Syria after the defeat of ISIS. The forces are supporting some Syrian rebels who are fighting against the gov!!! No time line of when these forces leave.

What would that do to the little peaceful people who in many cases can't find food or medicine?

QE-Minus

The S&P 500’s lengthy bull run began in 2009 as the Federal Reserve fired up quantitative easing. Suppressing bond yields and financial market volatility via QE has certainly been a boon for equities.

 The big central banks have bought some $14tn of assets Plus close to Zero  Interest rate, providing a very supportive tide of liquidity for global equities led by the S&P 500.

Now as the Fed looks to start reducing its $4.5tn balance sheet this year and the European Central Bank discusses tapering bond purchases in 2018, equities will soon need to reflect a reduction in the so-called punchbowl.

The swing in global liquidity will weigh on the performance of stocks, with the Fed, ECB, BOE about to reduce its balance sheets.   For now, there appears further room for equities to run higher but not far.
