The post-Iraq and Afghanistan discount prada baglandscape is unlike previouspost-war periods, Panetta said, necessitating this forward-leaning posture."The threats to our security and our global interests are not receding asthey appeared to do in past wars, coming out of World War II, coming out ofKorea, coming out of Vietnam, coming out of the end of the Cold War,"Panetta said. "The fact is today we still confront these threats in theworld, threats that are more complex, more dispersed, and in many ways, moredangerous."

Panetta—whose potential replacement may be announced as earlyas this week—said that the Pentagon has learned the lesson of past postwardraw-downs, “when deep across-the-board cuts hollowed out the force, and leftthe military demoralized and unready to carry out the missions assigned to it.Instead, we have set priorities and made tough decisions to build the force ofthe future,” he said.

Through Foreign Military Sales and Prada Shoulder Bagspartnering agreements, theUnited States is working closely with the Gulf States “to boost their capacityin critical areas such as missile defense and countermining,” he said, “whichwill help reduce the pressure to sustain these large deployments over thelong-term.” The United States announced last week that it was sending twoPatriot missile batteries and 400 soldiers to Turkey as part of a NATO effortto help protect the Turkish border region against the threat of missiles fromSyria.

submarines for the Chinese Navy

ound in Pegasus over in the Louis Vuitton new 2012 western sky inwinter evenings, this is amongst the best of the globular clusters in the sky.Its quite easy to spot. Just off to the north west of the orange starEnif.  Small telescopes will show it onlyas a fuzzy blob but telescopes of at least 15cm aperture are needed to revealindividual stars.  Medium to highmagnification.

State arms exporter Rosoboronexport has signed a framework agreement with China on the joint development and construction of four non-nuclear Amur-1650 conventional submarines for the Chinese Navy, a news report said Thursday.The final contract is tentatively worth $2 billion and is expected to be signed by the parties no earlier than 2015, Kommersant reported.

Make sure have alsoput lens caps on your finder telescopes so you don't accidentally get a glimpseof the magnified sun.  Experiment withmagnifications from low to high.


Chinese military hardware is average, only sufficient for smaller countries. Chinese ambition is much bigger and required world class weapons, and hence going for Amur class. China also bought Kilo class submarines from Russia.Well , Rosoboronexport is destroying its credibility by issuing these false reports every now and then about China buying Su35's , AL31's , Arrestor Cables and now the Amur submarines ... Why are these reports never confirmed by the PLA ?  ... No country in the world can keep such big military purchases a secret ... It so appears that they are more desperate to sell than the Chinese are eager to show even interest in them

China may become the first buyer of the Amur-1650 submarines, beating out India and Venezuela, both of which previously expressed interest, Kommersant said.Another source close to the arms exporter said the submarine contract "is very important for Russia and tops chanel cross body bag the presidential list of projects with China."

Rick Ross is not the only rapper whose itinerary contradicted gang members. In a recent World Hip Hop Dynamic Video Star, warned an alleged member of the Crips Gucci Mane, not an upcoming show in Macon, Georgia planned to operate.

The so-called representative Crips wearing a metal skull mask in the video suggests that Gucci will pay for the murder of Pookie Loc attached tape as it passes Macon. Although Gucci went for the shooting Loc in 2005, an event Gooch beef with Young Jeezy, he claimed self-defense and prosecutors eventually the charges for lack of evidence.

The masked man throws Gucci over the incident "boost" yourself and earn street cred.

"You hold the door s - t up [in the song]," he said. "It's like mocking us."

Although no specific threats are made, Gucci has warned that his security staff and police not be able to guarantee his safety if he is Macon.

"You are surrounded and protected ... at least that's what they think," he said. "But I say to you, you should stay home, stay home.".

Adelaide Sharples, Revlon Cheap Chanel WalletMarketing Director, said, ‘Revlon are delighted to be celebrating this milestone anniversary with such an amazing event… We are proud of Revlon’s heritage and look forward to bringing innovation alive for years to come.'ELLE joined the Revlon team last night for the glamorous opening of the Enamoured: 80 years of Revlon exhibition at the London Film Museum in London's Covent Garden. The exhibition celebrates the company and its creations, showcasing their history through facts, iconic figures and artistic interpretations that pay homage to the brand.

And now for the bad news. If you want to recreate Alexa’s look you’ll have to wait until the 13 December when the Nails Inc line launches in Selfridges Oxford Street, followed by the nationwide launch on 20 December. There is already a 700 person waiting list so we recommend joining now at

ELLE favourite and three-time cover girl Alexa Chung Chanel Wallet Women took home the award for British Style Icon for the third year in a row. As always Alexa looked effortlessly amazing – but it was her nails that really caught the beauty department’s attention. We spied what we thought must be the new Nails Inc Leather Effect polish on her slender fingertips.

Dedicated to supporting the fight against Aids, MAC set up the World Aids Fund back in 1994 and ever since they’ve made it their duty to raise both funds and awareness for this worthy cause. We’re all familiar with the eye-catching MAC ads for the Viva Glam collection – the current one stars Nicki Minaj sprawled across a motorbike and Ricky Martin weightlifting a giant lipstick. But do you know what it’s all for?

Every single penny raised from sales of MAC Viva Glam products goes directly to the Aids Fund to help women, men and children affected by HIV and AIDS around the globe. But this year, on World Aids Day, MAC Chanel Outlet Storepromises to double their impact.

Pretty flowers receive a touch of rusticity

Croc has never looked so supple, and Chanel Cross Body Bagspositioned over a raw, nude underlay, pretty flowers receive a touch of rusticity. In the most luxuriant way possible, of course (forget boho-chic; this is straight-up chic). Just don’t bring it out after-dark or pair it with an evening dress. All softness and light, this is definitely a day clutch, unless you find yourself at a beachy resort – which is just the trip for this bag. Otherwise, the combination of blossoms and blanca is sunshine-specific.

I need a white clutch, but pure ivory always seems too boring to buy. That is, unless it’s a laser-cut exotic by Nancy Gonzalez. Leave it to the queen of croc. A beautiful (if not decadently wasteful) way to use the skin, the lacy cutout-floral effect makes her classic flap clutch thoroughly fresh and exciting.

I almost don’t want to post this Marc by Chanel Evening BagsMarc Jacobs because I’m getting it for Tina for Christmas. She walks around with this silly iPhone cover that looks like a little bag, it even has a chain handle. This obviously is so much better. It’s a box phone clutch with a long strap to go crossbody. There is enough room in there for credit cards and ID so this is pretty much all you need. The polka dots are cute but I would prefer it to be a little more subtle – I’m sure they will bring this back in a variety of options. It’s small enough to be thrown in to your bigger bag to be pulled out when you

By now you all know Victoria’s bags are meticulously made. They’re up to her high standards (she didn’t earn the nickname Posh for nothing!), which is why they’re very pricey. Absolutely a worthy investment for any snob, but you’ll be excited to learn she has created a unique handbag just for The Corner that costs a mere $750. Celebrating the launch of her collection on the site, this cherry-red crossbody is just the slim piece to seamlessly take you from day to evening, keeping your load light and your level of chic super-high. Best of all, it’s Beckham-approved.

I interviewed Victoria Beckham at her Spring ’13 presentation earlier this month in Dallas (the interview and photos from the event will be up shortly!). Not only was she warm and friendly, she has a great sense of humor. I also learned that she started designing because there were things she wanted to wear and could not find. The triumphant endeavor has resulted in form-fitting dresses that flatter to no end and a burgeoning accessories line that Chanel Outlet Storecontinues to surprise and delight me.

crushing on this bag

I’m crushing on this Authentic Chanel Bags in its entirety. The 4″ drop leather handles are there for hand-carrying, and the bag has a removable shoulder strap that has an adjustable 20″ – 22″ drop. The inside of an RM bag is as fun as the outside – in this case

Rebecca makes amazing satchels – that was her first foray into the accessory world – and this bag features sturdy natural leather with diagonal seams and stud detailing. Of course, all other Rebecca touches are included as well, from zippers to leather tassels to custom light gold hardware.

even more so, I adore Rebecca as a person. It’s crazy to think that seven years ago both our companies were just getting started, and today we both have expanded massively in our own ways (ok, hers is so much larger). I own tons of Rebecca Minkoff bags and turn to them often for everyday use. When I spotted the Rebecca Minkoff Jealous, I knew it would leave everyone else who lays eyes on the bag envious as well. This bag is quite the beauty.

Seriously though – how glorious is that matte croc Birkin? Who can focus on Tamara’s picture-perfect hair, make-up, and clothing (or that dashing Brit to her right) when that bag is in the picture? And this coming scarcely two months after we featured Tamara toting a gorgeous grey Hermes Crocodile Birkin! Some girls have all the fun. We weren’t kidding about the Ecclestones’ Birkin-buying habits either – each sister probably owns around a dozen

mixing it up with a very mod black and white outfit combo that includes the coveted Hermes Limited Edition So Black Crocodile Birkin! If you’re not familiar with Tamara or her sister Petra Ecclestone Stunt, they’re British socialites/models/insanely rich folk who probably buy Birkins like the rest of us buy fro-yo. Coincidentally, Tamara appears to be Chanel Reissue 2.55 Flap Bag noshing on a cup of Tasti D-lite in this pic.

 Dutch show jumper Marc Houtzager Authentic Hermes Bagsreceived almost € 100,000, when the first place Gucci Grand in Paris Sunday.

Marc relegated Ireland Denis Lynch (pictured) and Van Het Abbervail Dingeshof in second place after a seven-rider Dam, only four of them have returned double clears.
