<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>well if you didn&#8217;t know, I am designing jewelry full time, and have three blogs up and running at this time. Well I&#8217;ve decided to integrate this blog with my jewelry blog, which could save me a bunch of time! I&#8217;m seriously thinking of just doing a total lifestyle blog geared towards women, and it would include fashion, art, entertainemnt, health, and a bunch of other stuff. Have suggestions, please contact me. In the meantime, please check out my handcrafted jewelry website<br />

<p><em>Need Ideas for Actually Living a More Serene Sophisticated Fabulous Life. Stop Here.</em></p>
<div id="attachment_315" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://alifemorefabulous.blogspot.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-315" title="Al Life more Fabulous" src="http://blogrevue.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/al-life-more-fabulous.jpg?w=300" alt="A Life More Fabulous blog image" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A Life More Fabulous blog image</p></div>
<p> I am not exactly sure how to describe <a title="a life more fabulous" href="http://alifemorefabulous.blogspot.com" target="_blank">A life More Fabulous </a>in words. It would be simplistic to describe it as a an inspirational blog in the genre of fashion, residential interiors &#38;c. It is much, much, more than that. Therefore, I think it best to describe to you the feeling I get when I read it: Calmness, Serenity, Longing, Hopefulness, Thankfulness and most importantly Possibility. The blogstress has a way of providing narration that conjures the readers&#8217; imagination and ability to live the way in which she describes. You only have to read a Life More Fabulous&#8217; weekend entries to say: &#8220;Yes, that is what I am going to do this weekend.&#8221; There is no impossibility in the suggestion at all, it&#8217;s all do-able. The narration is perfection. It induces action on a cerebral and physical level. My only question is: &#8220;Did the blogstress work on Madison Avenue?&#8221; Her narration is that perfect. The site&#8217;s photography only works to enhance the narrative. The blogstress&#8217; powers of observation regarding something as simple, and often overlooked, as the beauty and energy of fall is captivating. But be clear, my intention is not to mislead you in believing that any selling, in the traditional sense,  is going on here in this blog. Rather, what is being offered is all the emotion that I mentioned above. Which I believe can only lead to A Life More Fabulous.</p>

<p><em>The Complete Inspirational Lifestyle Blog</em></p>
<div id="attachment_308" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.annesage.com/blog"><img class="size-medium wp-image-308 " title="the city sage blog image" src="http://blogrevue.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/the-city-sage-blog-image.jpg?w=300" alt="the city sage blog image" width="300" height="293" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The City Sage blog image: L.A. Look</p></div>
<p>Where can you find: inspiring interiors (with links for item purchases) with made up commentary from the blogstress as if she is showing you her home; put together outfits (ala <em>In Style </em>magazine) and accessories with more links for purchase; inspiring city looks; apparel images along side seemingly similar inspired interiors; and a weekend list to keep the most ardent net surfer afloat&#8230;<a title="The City Sage" href="http://www.annesage.com/blog" target="_blank">The City Sage</a> of course. This fascinating blog has much to offer as indicated above. But its most endearing quality is the blogstress, who I imagine is Ms. Anne Sage (given the web address). Read her <em>About</em> section and you&#8217;ll instantly know what I mean. And it goes without saying,</p>
<div id="attachment_309" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 152px"><a href="http://www.annesage.com/blog/page/2/"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-309" title="the city sage blog image II" src="http://blogrevue.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/the-city-sage-blog-image-ii.jpg?w=142" alt="The City Sage: Artwork to Room" width="142" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The City Sage: Artwork to Room</p></div>
<p>of course, that The City Sage has captivating photography, posts almost daily during the week (only), and is always coming up with new innovative images to love and inspire. I really like The City Sage, if I didn&#8217;t I wouldn&#8217;t be telling you to give it a &#8220;<a title="The City Sage" href="http://www.annesage.com/blog" target="_blank">Click</a>.&#8221;</p>

<p><a href="http://www.theluxechronicles.com">www.theluxechronicles.com</a></p>
<div id="attachment_288" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-288 " title="the luxe chronicles blog image" src="http://blogrevue.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/the-luxe-chronicles-blog-image.jpg" alt="the luxe chronicles blog image" width="400" height="382" /><p class="wp-caption-text">the luxe chronicles blog image</p></div>
<p>I love it when I find an almost perfect blog for its genre. I say almost perfect, only because perfection is not manifested in anything or anyone. You may be asking, &#8220;What connotes (almost) perfect?&#8221; <a title="The Luxe Chronicles" href="http://www.theluxechronicles.com" target="_blank">The Luxe Chronicles</a> does for a start. Helene, the blogstress, has created that elusive combination of: subject knowledge, intelligent analysis, humor, esthetic, up-to-date information, and daily weekly postings (minus the weekends) about luxury goods. I&#8217;ve been a fan of The Luxe Chronicles for over a year now, and I believe Helene sums up her blog&#8217;s mission the best: &#8220;The Luxe Chronicles is a collection of interviews, profiles and musings on various aspects of the luxury industry and occasionally, a rant on our celebrity obsessed culture and the dumbing down of our collective sense of style and esthetic. I would like The Luxe Chronicles to be an honest discussion about luxury, not only as an industry but also as a concept and the blurring of the lines between consumption and style.&#8221; See, even her description is smart.  I simply cannot add to it, except to say that in a luxury obsessed culture we should know what we&#8217;re really being sold. It&#8217;s patriotic to love and want your luxury goods. It&#8217;s equally as patriotic to question their relevancy, their delivery, and their necessity.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>Romance is not Only in the Movies</em></p>
<p><a href="http://adaanddarcy.blogspot.com">http://adaanddarcy.blogspot.com</a></p>
<div id="attachment_265" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-265" title="ada &#38; darcy" src="http://blogrevue.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/ada-darcy.png" alt="Ada &#38; Darcy blog header" width="500" height="127" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ada &#38; Darcy blog header</p></div>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure but maybe I am searching for an ethereal quality to my life and added romance. Not in a traditional sense from a mate (spouse/companion for you Aussies), but from life itself. Well, God hearing my cry, I am sure , brought me to <a title="Ada and Darcy" href="http://adaanddarcy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Ada &#38; Darcy</a>. Ada &#38; Darcy a site devoted to &#8220;fabulous interiors, styling &#38; all things lovely,&#8221; as described by the blogess Kellie Collis of Australia.</p>
<div id="attachment_267" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-267" title="ada &#38; darcy blog image" src="http://blogrevue.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/ada-darcy-blog-image.jpg?w=300" alt="Ada &#38; Darcy blog image" width="300" height="199" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ada &#38; Darcy blog image</p></div>
<p>But I think her description is too simplistic&#8230;true, but simplistic. Ms. Collis&#8217; site is much more than that. The only description I have for it is&#8230;ethereal and romantic. The inspirational interiors (of which this site provides the most of), events and clothing all encompass that underlying theme. I do not know if this was conscious on Ms. Collis&#8217; part&#8230;but it is lovely. The site&#8217;s pictures whisk you away to the life and times of a Henry James novel set in 2009 ironically. Because of the sites romantic undercurrent it is calming and dreamy. I also really enjoy Ms. Collis&#8217; post commentary because it is quick, simple, light and kind. To be inspired in a calm , kind and lovely way is rare at times now days. Therefore, I suggest you visit <a title="Ada and Darcy" href="http://adaanddarcy.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Ada &#38; Darcy </a>often.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Faithful readers&#8230;I was under the weather on Sunday hence the lack of post, but today I thing we should sit and</p>
<p><em>Have a cocktail, please, it will make you and I feel better</em></p>
<div id="attachment_261" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://letshaveacocktail.blogspot.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-261" title="let's have a cocktail" src="http://blogrevue.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/lets-have-a-cocktail.jpg?w=300" alt="Let's Have a Cocktail " width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Let&#39;s Have a Cocktail </p></div>
<p>Due to my current health status (<span style="text-decoration:underline;">not</span>H1N1 related fyi) I&#8217;ll make this short but no less impressive. The best thing you could do at the end of the day is grab a drink (alcohol preferable @ least in my world) and read <a title="let's have a cocktail" href="http://letshaveacocktail.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Let&#8217;s Have a Cocktail</a>, the smart funny musings of Jenny Mac. Ms. Mac&#8217;s blog is a combination of food and drink recipes, heart warming and not so heart warming stories, and really funny observations. While the pictures accompanying her posts are not worthy of a coffee table book, they are more than appropriate, and in all actuality&#8230;insightful. Ms. Mac&#8217;s blog posts are generally longer then our busy lifestyles are used to in the blogosphere. But they are all well worth the almost daily read. I highly recommend Ms. Mac&#8217;s humorous Sept 28, &#38; 30, 2009 posts (which will explain a lot about what college aged kids are learning, and who people believe Ms. Mac resembles) because after reading these you will not get enough of her. So sit down, relax, make your self comfortable, kick off your shoes, <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">have a cigarette</span>, and <a title="let's have a cocktail" href="http://letshaveacocktail.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Let&#8217;s Have a Cocktail</a>.</p>

<p><em>How Sweet a Misadventure can be</em></p>
<div id="attachment_161" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.misadventureswithandi.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-161" title="misadventures with andi blog picture" src="http://blogrevue.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/misadventures-with-andi-blog-picture.jpg?w=300" alt="Misadventures with Andi" width="300" height="152" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Misadventures with Andi</p></div>
<p>As with most blogs I stumbled upon this one. The fact that I am revue&#8221;ing&#8221; it says something about my current mood.  My last post was about a woman blogging about her life, and the <a title="misadventures with andi" href="http://www.misadventureswithandi.com" target="_blank">Misadventures with Andi</a> is more of the same. I like the fundamental quality of these blogs, they get back to what blogging was originally intended to be.  At the same time Ms. Andi Fisher&#8217;s blog is as charming as the one last revue&#8221;d&#8221;. Ms. Fisher has a definite personality and quality of life that makes you interested in her world. The army brat, married to a Frenchman and who has since relocated from Europe has a lot to say and describe about life, books, food and wanting to be french. Are not we all just a little voyeuristic? While Ms. Fisher&#8217;s visual accompaniments with her posts are not worthy of a Stieglitz book, but they are appropriate and appealing. As with any good blog, Ms. Fisher&#8217;s can be searched pursuant to month or topic of interest. What really solidified her musings for me was her commitment to blog daily, which she does, and which I am finding difficult to come by. Just as in a movie, misadventures can be fun, I only suggest you participate in them with Andi.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://goop.com">http://goop.com</a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>You&#8217;ll want to know what GOOP is.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you&#8217;re in your teens or even 20&#8217;s you may have been waiting for me to hit a on popular celebrity who is a blogger. That way you can get the latest scoop on an upcoming tour, who their in a relationship with and where they partied last night and with whom. Unfortunately, you may be disappointed. But if you&#8217;re closer to your 40&#8217;s than your 20&#8217;s</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://confessionsofafatgirl.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/09/22/goop.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="111" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">(as I) and you still dig celebs who can actually sing and/or act&#8230;and aren&#8217;t just a beautiful face,  then you&#8217;ll be interested in Ms. Paltrow&#8217;s blog <em>Goop</em>. I still have yet to know what <em>Goop </em>means, but I like its message. Ms. Paltrow like many of us is attached with children.  But she still has other interests, and asks the relevant questions and provides equally relevant suggestions that need contemplation for a good life. She has efficiently categorized her blog topics into the following: &#8220;Make&#8221;; &#8220;Go&#8221;; &#8220;Get&#8221;; &#8220;Do&#8221;; &#8220;Be&#8221;; and &#8220;See&#8221;.  Some topic subjects are accompanied by video, and others are accompanied by Ms. Paltrow&#8217;s preface, and expanded upon by other celebrities whether they be singers, activists, or health leaders etc&#8230; While Ms. Paltrow&#8217;s blog is not heavy on visual stimulation (which actually may be the reason for the sites calming effect-and her color choices) and posting frequently(about once per week), it still is very appealing. Why? Because it gives you ideas on having a good life in many different areas of life. She also provides a feature where you can subscribe to her &#8220;newsletter&#8221; (really a &#8220;post&#8221; in disguise) to keep abreast of her current musings. Isn&#8217;t that really what we want, ideas for a good life sent directly to our e-mail?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Democratic lawmakers called Thursday for a new stimulus package worth up to $100 billion while President-elect Barack Obama scheduled a meeting with his new economic transition team to begin addressing the nation&#8217;s economic troubles well before his Jan. 20 inauguration.</strong></p>
<div class="p">Obama is scheduled to meet on Friday with economic advisers including Warren Buffett, former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Roger Ferguson, former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman William Donaldson, among others. Obama plans to speak to the media after the meeting.</div>
<div class="p">Obama&#8217;s economic advisers also include former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker and Google Inc. <span class="LqQtGroup"><span class="quotedToolTip"> (<a class="lk001" href="http://www.marketwatch.com/quotes//goog">GOOG</a>:<span class="quotedToolTipBox"></p>

<div class="p">Summers, Volcker and Rubin all are possible candidates to lead the Treasury under Obama, according to the Journal report.</div>
<div class="p">Separately, Democrats plan to convene a lame-duck session of Congress the week of Nov. 17, when Obama and other lawmakers are expected to consider the proposed economic stimulus package. The new Congress is scheduled to take office on Jan. 3.</div>
<div class="p">In February, amid early indications of the economic difficulties to be faced by the U.S., Congress passed an initial, $168 billion stimulus package that was delivered in the form of tax rebates worth up to $600 for most individual taxpayers and $1,200 for familes.</div>
<div class="p">Obama D-Ill., as the first sitting senator to be elected president since John F. Kennedy in 1960, is in a position to influence, as well as vote on, any stimulus package that the current or new Congress, which will have larger Democratic majorities, creates before Inauguration Day.</div>
<div class="p">Obama&#8217;s running mate, Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., and his opponent, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., also will be able to vote on any stimulus legislation.</div>
<div class="p">While Congress works on a stimulus bill, the Bush administration will be working until the last minute to revive the financial sector and to coordinate its response with the other major economies. Obama&#8217;s role in those efforts is likely to be indirect at best.</div>
<div class="p">House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., spoke with Obama on Wednesday morning and indicated she was working closely with his team. Pelosi said the stimulus package could be worth up to $100 billion and should be followed by a &#8220;permanent tax cut,&#8221; according to the Journal report.</div>
<div class="p">&#8220;Our priorities have tracked the Obama campaign&#8217;s priorities for a long time,&#8221; Pelosi told reporters Thursday.</div>
<div class="p">When he takes the oath on Jan. 20, Obama will inherit a financial crisis and a potentially deep U.S. recession as well as struggling auto and banking sectors.</div>
<div class="p">Obama&#8217;s team may also have some input on shaping the execution of the plan to buy up bad assets from financial institutions. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson reportedly plans to involve the president-elect&#8217;s team in decisions about the $700 billion rescue plan. Paulson said in a statement on Thursday that Treasury is &#8220;committed to making sure that the incoming team can hit the ground running in January.&#8221;</div>
<div class="p">&#8220;A methodical and orderly transition is in the best interests of the financial markets,&#8221; Paulson said.</div>
<div class="p">Some Democrats are concerned that banks getting an injection of taxpayer investment under the plan aren&#8217;t using the money to make loans. Under the rules adopted by Paulson&#8217;s department, the banks aren&#8217;t required to make any loans. A similar investment plan in the United Kingdom did include a mandatory level of lending.</div>
<div class="h3">Global summit</div>
<div class="p">Meanwhile, a White House spokesman said Bush administration officials are consulting with Obama&#8217;s advisers and seeking their views and input ahead of the Nov. 14-15 summit of the leaders of 20 leading economies in Washington. The meeting&#8217;s purpose is to discuss a coordinated response to the global financial crisis.</div>
<div class="p">While the Bush administration is consulting with Obama&#8217;s team, it&#8217;s uncertain if the president-elect wants to attend the meeting. Obama spokespeople weren&#8217;t immediately available for comment.</div>
<div class="p">Obama&#8217;s ability to make policy is limited until he takes office. But Obama can have psychological effect by making strong appointments for key economic posts or urging Congress to get moving on his priorities, said Stan Collender, a managing director at Qorvis Communications and a columnist for the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call.</div>
<div class="p">&#8220;If he got up and said, &#8216;this is what we should do,&#8217; I think people in Congress would listen to him,&#8221; said Collender.</div>
<div class="p">In addition to the Friday meeting with his economic team, Obama also plans to meet with President Bush on Monday. Bush said officials from his administration will brief the Obama team on policy issues including the financial markets and the war in Iraq.</div>
<div class="p">&#8220;I look forward to discussing those issues with the president-elect early next week,&#8221; Bush said on Thursday.</div>
<div class="p">&#8220;Michelle and I look forward to meeting with President Bush and the First Lady on Monday to begin the process of a smooth, effective transition,&#8221; Obama said in a statement.</div>
<div class="p">&#8220;I thank him for reaching out in the spirit of bipartisanship that will be required to meet the many challenges we face as a nation,&#8221; said Obama. <img src="http://i.mktw.net/mw3/News/greendot.gif" alt="End of Story" width="10" height="10" /></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>First there was &#8220;Obamamania,&#8221; punctured in places by naysayers crying &#8220;Nobama!&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, as <span class="yshortcuts" style="background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 50%;cursor:pointer;">President-elect</span> <span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #0066cc;cursor:pointer;">Barack Obama</span> prepares for the <span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #0066cc;cursor:pointer;">White House</span>, his message of change, resounding both at home and abroad, seems to have unleashed a barrage of Barackisms. Or maybe they should be called Obamanyms.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a glossary, culled from Web sites, news reports and the blogosphere:</p>
<p>___</p>
<p>OBAMAPHORIA: The postelection rapture that swept over Obama&#8217;s supporters worldwide.</p>
<p>OBAMANATION: A twist on &#8220;abomination,&#8221; expressed by evangelicals and other conservatives who oppose Obama&#8217;s stance on abortion, <span class="yshortcuts">gay marriage</span> and other social issues.</p>
<p>OBAMARAMA: The celebrations around the Jan. 20, 2009, inauguration.</p>
<p>OBAMANOS: A play on &#8220;Vamonos,&#8221; or &#8220;Let&#8217;s go,&#8221; among Obama fans in <span class="yshortcuts">Mexico</span>.</p>
<p>OBAMATOPIA: The political paradise that Obama&#8217;s staunchest supporters hope he&#8217;ll usher in.</p>
<p>OBAMALUJAH: Exultation shouted by his fans.</p>
<p>OBAMATRONS: The policy wonks who will occupy the West Wing of his White House.</p>
<p>OBAMASCOPE: Media scrutiny of the new leader. (Example: &#8220;One hundred days after Barack Obama took office, newspaper editors put the president&#8217;s economic plan under the Obamascope.&#8221;)</p>
<p>OBAMANATOR: Hollywood-inspired nickname for the new president — even if he&#8217;s got what <span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom:1px dashed #0066cc;cursor:pointer;">California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger</span> contends are &#8220;skinny legs&#8221; and &#8220;scrawny little arms.&#8221;</p>
<p>OBAMALICIOUS: Complimentary term used by those who like Obama&#8217;s looks.</p>
<p>OBAMALOHA: Goodbye, Obama-style, with a nod to Hawaii, his birthplace.</p>
<p>OH-BAMA: Joyful exclamation, via headlines in the Kennebec, Maine, Journal, The Regisister Guard in Eugene, Ore., and <span class="yshortcuts">The Namibian</span>, from the southern African country of <span class="yshortcuts" style="background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 50%;cursor:pointer;">Namibia</span>.</p>
<p>BAMELOT: Description of his presidency, from a New York Post headline that played on the youth and freshness of John F. Kennedy&#8217;s administration that came to be known as &#8220;Camelot.&#8221;</p>
<p>OBAMERIKA: Headline from the Croatian newspaper <span class="yshortcuts" style="background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 50%;cursor:pointer;">Slobodna Dalmacija</span>.</p>
<p>BARACKSTAR: Description from those who believe Obama is &#8220;the <span class="yshortcuts">Mick Jagger</span> of politics</p>
