Avoid the Dreaded Fashion Holiday Faux Pas
December 3, 2011
It’s easy to get caught up in the season as most people are stumped or flummoxed by how to dress for holiday events. When in doubt wear cashmere or your little black dress. However, here are a few tips which should be helpful in avoiding those dreaded fashion faux pas.
Wearing Too Much Glitz
Beading, metallic and shimmer are all fine. In fact, most women wait until a good party to break out all of the glitzy finery. But too much glitter can overwhelm, especially if you wear it in areas that you don't necessarily want to highlight, like a beaded chest sweater for a busty gal. Items that can be described as “fun” are rarely flattering. Done right, glitz can light up your face and highlight your best body parts.
Showing Too Much Skin
Thigh-high miniskirts and cut-to-the-navel dresses may look great on certain body types, but are almost impossible to carry off once off the runway. Dressing sexy doesn’t have to be dull, leave some things to the imagination and just accentuate your best features: a lace-trimmed camisole under a blazer hints at great cleavage, a small slit on a skirt gives a glimpse at gorgeous legs, and a halter dress shows off toned arms.
Getting Caught with Nothing to Wear
Nothing is worse than being invited to a fabulous party and having nothing to wear. By keeping a few dressy basics in your closet you can always be prepared for last-minute invitations. You can even re-wear the items and make them look totally different just with accessories. Essentials like a great little black dress or perfect dressy black pants with a nice cashmere sweater or off the shoulder top can take you a long way.
Making It Too Complicated
A simple rule to follow is keep it simple. Say no to accessories that flash, buzz or jingle. . Just add accessories that sparkle strategically and you're set. Your hair should look uncomplicated as well. Opt for sexy half-up/half-down styles or pull your hair back into a low ponytail. Also, keep your makeup simple, but special: sometimes all it takes is a great red lipstick to dress it all up!
Being Under or Over Dressed
Any one can have trouble deciphering dress codes when a party invitation reads, “Dressy Casual or Cocktail Attire.” Again, keep it simple. A few dressy items such as the little black dress for her and a dark suit for him can take you both from a semi-formal to cocktail party.

Despite Court Setbacks, Scott, Lawmakers, Pledge
Aggressive Conservative 2012 Agenda
November 12, 2011
Gov. Rick Scott and top Republican lawmakers say a series of unfavorable court rulings on legislation they pushed last spring will not deter them from again pursuing a strong conservative agenda in 2012. With contentious issues such as state employee health insurance changes, prayer in schools, higher education reform and the drawing of new political districts on tap for the legislative session that begins in January, more legal battles are likely.
For Democrats — badly outnumbered in the Florida Legislature — the court system has become their most effective weapon against the GOP’s efforts to push conservative reforms. Courts have nullified three bills passed by the Legislature last spring and signed by Scott, striking down moves to privatize prisons in South Florida, drug test welfare recipients and prevent doctors from asking their patients about guns.
Two other laws are under court review: An elections overhaul criticized for limiting voter registration and early voting and a pension measure forcing state workers to contribute 3 percent of their salaries to a retirement fund. A hearing has not been scheduled on a lawsuit filed in September by teachers over a law linking their pay to student performance and ending tenure for new instructors. In a media briefing last week, Scott called the court decisions nullifying parts of his 2011 legislative agenda “disappointing” but added that they will not change his approach heading into a new legislative session.
“I’m going to continue the things that I believe are in the best interest of Floridians,” Scott said during the annual Associated Press legislative preview event. In addition to the judicial decisions on legislation, the Florida Supreme Court also ruled against Scott’s executive order freezing rule-making at all state agencies when he took office. Scott did not hide his dissatisfaction with the court actions, contending that judges are overstepping their authority. “I thought there were three branches of government,” the governor said. “I thought the legislative branch was supposed to pass the laws and the governor would either sign them or not. I didn’t anticipate the judiciary would be making policy decisions.”
The ongoing power struggle between the courts and the legislative and executive branches boiled over in the 2011 session, when House Speaker Dean Cannon, R-Winter Park, took aim at the judiciary by pushing measures that would have given Scott and lawmakers more influence over the state court system. Cannon wanted to expand the Supreme Court, which would have given Scott three new appointments on the state’s highest bench. And he would have allowed Scott to appoint the chief justice.
He also proposed requiring all appellate judges to win a 60 percent retention vote if they wanted to remain on the bench — increasing the standard from the current majority vote. Most of Cannon’s court proposals fell by the wayside, although lawmakers have asked voters next year to consider a constitutional amendment that will require all Supreme Court appointees to win a confirmation vote in the Senate. The amendment also gives the Legislature more power over rule-making at the Supreme Court and expands the House’s role in the investigation of judicial misconduct.
Cannon called the proposed amendment “a good set” of reforms, adding that he did not plan to pursue more “constitutional type” judicial overhauls in the upcoming session. However, he could still pursue statutory changes to the panels that nominate judges for the governor to appoint. Democrats say Scott and Republican lawmakers should not have been surprised that the bills they passed ran into legal trouble, noting they were repeatedly warned that issues like drug testing of welfare recipients had been ruled an unconstitutional violation of privacy by several courts before Florida passed its law.
“When you don’t care whether it’s constitutional or not then you’re going to get a lot of cases getting challenged,” said House Democratic leader Ron Saunders. The state is appealing the court decisions, leading Senate Democratic leader Nan Rich to question why Florida is spending “hard-earned tax money” during a time of large budget deficits to defend laws that have been ruled unconstitutional. “We have a pattern here and I just find it interesting because we have a lot of lawyers in the Legislature” who should know better, she said.
Republican lawmakers defended programs such as prison privatization and pension reform as money savers. Cannon and Senate President Mike Haridopolos, R-Melbourne, called the ruling against prison privatization a bad decision. Haridopolos said privatizing 29 prisons in South Florida would have saved the state at least $22 million annually. “I want to spend that money in schools or in health care,” he said. The drug testing law was also about spending state money wisely, Scott said. “Welfare money is supposed to go for the benefit of children, not for a parent using drugs,” he said.
Protecting individual rights is more important than saving money, said Derek Newton with the Florida chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. Newton predicted another active year for the ACLU in Florida in 2012. “This Legislature and governor have proven that constitutionality and legality are not factors they consider,” Newton said. “If they proceed down this path of violating people’s rights, I’m sure we’ll be busy.” H-T Capital Bureau reporter Lloyd Dunkelberger contributed to this report.
Does Nail Biting Cause Any Long-Term Nail Damage?
Although unsanitary, nail biting isn't likely to cause long-term nail damage. Nails are formed at the nail bed — where the U-shaped cuticles begin. As long as the nail bed remains intact, nail biting isn't likely to interfere with fingernail growth. In fact, some research suggests that nail biting might even promote faster nail growth.
· Nail biting isn't without risks, however. For example, nail biting can:
In addition, compulsive nail biting is sometimes a sign of an underlying mental health condition, such as anxiety or an impulse control disorder.
If you're concerned about nail biting, consult your doctor or a mental health provider. To stop you from nail biting, he or she might suggest:
In some cases, behavior therapy to stop nail biting might be warranted.

Robinson Cano Would Welcome Red Sox DH David Ortiz on Yankees
(New York Daily News) – Robinson Cano said he would welcome David Ortiz switching sides in the storied baseball rivalry between New York and Boston. "It would be a good idea, having another lefty on the team," Cano told the Daily News while in attendance at Ortiz's fourth annual charity golf tournament. "We all know he's a great hitter. Last year, a lot of people were saying, 'He's done.'" He proved a lot of people wrong. I like people, when they're down, they prove people wrong. He came back, did a great job."

Latest Candidate News for Florida’s Congress 2012 in District 39: Jason Henry (Democrat)
November 19, 2011
by Haydee Ayala
Orlando, FL – The climate in the studio gets pretty intriguing when YSL finds out the phone system went down. Apparently, there was a surge that knocked out the lines. As a result, our anticipated televise viewing of the show on ‘Ustream’ was unfortunately derailed, as was all incoming calls. Nonetheless, this is the week of being thankful, so host Jose Miranda made a brief announcement to our listeners then fades out for a moment of music.
In the studio with us today was Melissa. Last week regrettably Melissa was missing due to the passing of her mother, so we were happy to have her back so soon considering her loss. Mr. Jason Henry, who regularly keeps YSL current on the daily issues affecting our communities, today revealed his candidacy for the House. That's right! Henry is officially throwing his hat into the ring for the House seat, which is currently occupied by Geraldine Thompson (D) in District 39, but, will be vacant for the 2012 elections.
Of course Miranda decides to start off his campaign slogan with, “The White Candidate with a Very Serious Tan!” So, if you see it somewhere on a billboard, remember you heard it right here on Yo Soy Latino.
However, on a more serious note, Henry believes he can make a difference. His involvement as an activist and his career in journalism, has given him a connection to the people, being a greater voice to the democratic process. Henry, like many others, is concerned with some of the decisions of the new governor; and, maintaining the house seat would be pivotal to Democrats’ chances. District 39 is a community of 60 percent African-American, 15 percent Hispanic, and 25 percent White. It is also a community that faces many challenges.
Too many House seats are occupied by the Republican Party, a party that has lost touch with their constituents. And, what's more astounding is how many poor and middle-class people keep right on voting for them when the continued budgets cuts are made by these Republican administrations. The same party that has drastically reduce Black and Hispanic middle-class.
What once was a thriving and successful middle-class society is rapidly joining the ranks of the poor for many can not find jobs or are baby boomers many of which are too young to retire and no longer considered employable. Yet, it was that group of society that spent a great percentage of their income on consumer goods than the rich. Nonetheless, it is the 1 percent of the population that will receive the “trickle-down” benefits (greater tax cuts) because Republicans refuse to tax the wealthiest top 1%. Then again if they did, it would cut the deficits by at least $1 Trillion over the next 10 years.
Henry, unlike his equals, is connected to the community. Where the Republicans say that they serve the people, their only concern is the upper crust, particularly the 1 percent of the nations wealthiest. We need a change in government. A balance where there is none. But only you can make that difference, only you can inspire yourself to go and vote in 2012.
YSL will continue to keep you informed on everything that occurs in the world of politics. The media reports a daily roundup of news but it’s up to you to do the real hard work -- research, read, and get involved.

The Muppets — Rating: 4 STARS
“The Muppets” is one delightful family film. Though its creator Jim Henson is no longer with us, it was refreshing to see Kermit, Fozzie and Miss Piggy reunited and back on the big screen.
What sets the plot in motion is a visit to Los Angeles by Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams), two Smalltown sweethearts, who are accompanied on their journey by Gary’s co-dependent brother, Walter (a ‘muppet’ living in the human world and the voice of Peter Linz). When they arrive in Los Angeles, the three are shocked to learn that this group of vaudeville performers had faded into the fringes of the entertainment world and were now in the middle of losing the old Muppet Theater. Because of an oil tycoon -- Tex Richman played by Chris Cooper -- who is steadfast in buying the property for oil.
After meeting Kermit, the three join forces to help Kermit bring the gang back together again for one last show. There is a new energy in this film as well as new voices. The voice of Kermit is now performed by puppeteer Steve Whitmire. Plus, the unmistakable tongue and cheek dialogue mixed with a sense of self awareness which gives The Muppets that cherished chutzpah we have all grown to love.
The Muppets is bigger and better than ever before and if you’re a true Muppet lover you will enjoy this nostalgic look.
