While shopping for business attire last Thursday, wifey also snatch huge chunk of time to look for dresses. There’s no immediate need for it, but she still went on with it. After, we went to the shoe department, then lingerie department where she finds the pastie. This is really something new for her because she used to wearing bra. But, I would say this is perfect for backless tops and dresses.

Basically, she never dared to wear backless before because she doesn’t know what to wear underneath. She knows wearing a bra will ruin the look. But, she can’t also stomach being braless since nipples become visible. With the discovery of this pasties, I’m sure wifey will have the courage to wear sexy backless clothes. She’s even excited to go shopping again. I’m pretty sure this time, we will visit the racks that has backless tops and dresses.

According to recent news, White House says, after a deal on debt was signed into law last week, US “must do better” in tackling its pressing economic challenges. Spokesman Jay Carney said the talks on raising the US debt ceiling in order to avoid a default had taken too long and been too divisive. The statement comes a day after rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded the country’s top-notch AAA rating to AA+.

The US uncertainty led to a week of turmoil on the world financial markets. There were fears that the US could be heading for a double-dip recession and that the sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone could spread to Italy and Spain. The compromise US debt deal, which was passed in the Senate on Tuesday, raises the debt limit by up to $2.4tn (£1.5tn) from $14.3tn, and makes savings of at least $2.1tn in 10 years.

Mr Carney said the deal had been “an important step in the right direction”, but added that “the path to getting there took too long and was at times too divisive. He said the US must now “do better to make clear our nation’s will, capacity and commitment to work together to tackle our major fiscal and economic challenges”. President Barack Obama would now encourage the bipartisan fiscal committee and members of Congress to “put our common commitment to a stronger recovery and a sounder long-term fiscal path above our political and ideological differences”, Carney continue to say.

In its report issued late on Friday, S&P said the US deal did not go far enough, and that the “political brinkmanship” shown in debates was proof that “the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened”. The credit rating downgrade, the first in the history of the US, is being seen as a major embarrassment for Mr Obama’s administration and could raise the cost of US government borrowing.

I always love wearing tee shirts. In fact, it’s my favorite weekend type of clothing. But, I hate having too many look-a-likes. And, it’s really difficult to find one-of-kind shirts. If there is, it costs a fortune. Of course, it’s not practical to continually buy pricey shirts. Buying simple plain shirts is also too boring and too safe.

Lucky for me, customize shirts are already available these days. I love having one-of-kind shirts. In addition, it’s also perfect gift idea. You can make your one-of-kind tee shirts here and send it directly to friends. I’m sure they will love having customize shirts with their name or their favorite hobby, sport, or joke with classic T-shirts, “World’s Greatest…” T-shirts and funny age related T-shirts. Me? I’m solely getting these shirts for the purpose of having a shirt that is completely mine.

Wifey and Roxanne (the house owner’s daughter) are having a great deal of conversation. They have tackled a lot of things that I can’t fully understand. I guess that is what girl talk is all about. They are using language that is quite uncommon for me. But, I’m not totally out of place because in some ways they are making an effort to include me and the other two with us.

We spend the entire hour sitting in the dining table because of the long talks. After, we realized it’s already 1:30pm. In that case, it’s time to get up and back to our normal world. But, wifey seems to be out of order. She wanted to go shopping and hear the barcode scanners read the tags of her goods at the checkout counter. The only problem it’s a bad timing for that. She needs to wait for few more months before she shops until her heart’s content.

I’m really surprised that wifey did go shopping after feeling better from flu. She said it’s a very good therapy towards her happiness that’s why I never dare to contend. I might get a cold treatment if I do so I keep my mouth shut. Of course, it is too tiresome to go to the mall, it might strain her. She goes online shopping for that matter.

One of the brands she is fond of is dereon. Deréon’s designs are in line with the hip-hop and urban culture, but also have an Asian flair. The line of apparel and accessories are a great blend of street and catwalk style…feminine, yet cutting-edge. It’s all about the details, mixing and matching, while incorporating Beyonce’s own flavor and chameleon-like qualities. Wifey is more into this kind of thing especially during weekends where she doesn’t have to worry about heels. Well, I hope everything she bought will really make her happy.

According to the recent news, Korean electronics firm Samsung has hit back in a patent dispute with Osram, a rival maker of light emitting diodes (LEDs). Samsung LED has filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission against Osram and two of its subsidiaries.

The spat began in June, when Osram accused Samsung and another firm of violating its LED patents. LEDs are used in electronic displays in cars mobile phone screens and TVs. The Samsung unit also filed a lawsuit in a court in Delaware seeking damages.

On Friday, Samsung LED filed its complaint with the US International Trade Commission (ITC) against Osram and its units Osram Opto Semiconductors and Osram Sylvania Inc. Osram is owned by the German manufacturing giant Siemens.

Should the complaint be upheld by the ITC then it may lead to a ban on the import of some Osram LED products into the US. However, the complaints may also be settled by the payment of licensing fees. In a separate move, Samsung filed a lawsuit in Delaware against Osram, alleging eight patent infringements and an outright ban on the Osram products it identified.

Samsung said it “intends to vigorously enforce its intellectual property rights, and these lawsuits reflect Samsung LED’s commitment to that enforcement”, the company said in a statement. Read more… »
