This week, at Henry Roth we look at Mum's rocking their frocks on our Facebook page. With this in mind it is an ideal opportunity to look at wedding dress styling through the latter half of the 20th century, which has influenced Henry's signature "Future Vintage" aesthetic.
Today, we begin with the 1940s and 1950s.
The 1940s are divided into two parts: during the war and after the war. Due to rationing, wartime meant brides often opted for simple designs and borrowed dresses. Post-war, however, signaled the fashion era known as New Look–this was a stylish and feminine approach to dressing. The troops returning home also led to a boom in weddings as sweethearts were reunited after a period of gloom and austerity.
Wartime brides opted for borrowed gowns, mended family gowns or simply wore their best dress. Some style features that might have featured on their gowns are:
New Look fashions paved the way for 1950s styling. During this time brides and women in general, looked to tighter waists and fuller skirts.
The most famous bride of the 1940s is Queen Elizabeth who married Prince Philip in 1947 while still a princess. At the time, food and clothing were still rationed in post-war England and so royal dressmaker, Norman Hartnell used Princess Elizabeth's wedding dress to convey a message of renewed hope. He did this in part by embroidering the gown with garlands of spring flowers.
During the 1950s, wedding dresses tended to be traditional length with sleeves and fe embellishments. A lifted rationing on fabrics meant brides now looked to full skirts, rounded shoulders, a very emphasized waist, a bodice with "pointed bosom." Dressing for women in the 1950s was all about celebrating their hourglass figure. Hoop skirts, crinolines, and other techniques were used to play it up.
During the 1950s French lace was all the rage, as post-war lace began to be manufactured again. It was therefore not uncommon to find brides opting for tiers and tiers of chantilly lace on their bridal gowns.
A few other looks that made their way into the wedding dresses of the 1950s:
The most famous bride of the 1950s is, of course, Grace Kelly, who married Prince Rainier of Monacco in a 1956 ceremony.
Princess Grace of Monacco's wedding dress as since been the source of inspiration for many brides, most famous of which is Kate Middleton who married Prince William on April 29th, 2011 in a wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The exquisite bridal gown was the source of much speculation in the run-up to the wedding and once revealed, the comparisons to Princess Grace's wedding dress were instantly made.
For Henry's take on 1950s wedding gowns, look to Zoe, Zoe Too and Maya.

Authorities are now looking in Massachusetts for a Plaistow couple accused of assaulting a 3-year-old child.
"We're getting calls from people as far as Swampscott saying they've seen these individuals down there," said Lt. William Baldwin of the Plaistow Police Department.
Jessica Linscott, 23, and Roland Dow, 27, are now wanted on felony first-degree assault charges for allegedly abusing Linscott's 3-year-old son, James.
Police said when doctors at Exeter Hospital first saw the boy last Wednesday, his body was covered in in bruises and burns, and had signs of head trauma.
Police said there is no way the boy's wounds could have been self-inflicted, despite some relatives' claims to the contrary. They believe the boy was abused in the couple's Plaistow home.
More on the case:
"Somebody has to speak for that child and stand up for that child, and this agency, like any other agency, is going to pursue the investigation vigorously to get to the truth," said Lt. Baldwin.
James's biological father died when the boy was just 3 months old. His paternal grandmother, Helen Nicholson, said the family knew for some time that the 3-year-old was being abused.
"He had been hanging onto me so tight, and he was crying and he just didn't want to let go of me," said Nicholson, describing the last time she saw James. "He didn't want to go back in the house. He was so scared."

Bernadette A. DiPino, Chief of Police
Our Mission Statement:
Professional, dedicated police service in partnership with our Community.
Sarasota Police Chief Bernadette DiPino held a press conference today regarding PROJECT LIFESAVER. This program provides support and assistance to the families of individuals suffering from Alzheimer's and related dementia disorders, as well as those with Down syndrome, Autism, traumatic brain injuries or cognitive impairments who are prone to wander away from their caregivers. Project Lifesaver uses state-of-the-art technology to help locate these missing individuals and return them home safely.
Sarasota's Project Lifesaver was born out of a partnership between the Sarasota Police Department and the Boar's Head Provisions Company, Inc. in November, 2007. The Boar's Head Provisions Company, Inc. provided the initial funding for the tracking equipment and electronic bracelets, as well as donating a vehicle for use by the program. The Project Lifesaver program has served more than 280 individuals and their families, and has a 100% success rate since its inception. The age range of Project Lifesaver clients is between 5 and 95.
Mr. Michael Martella, President of the Boar's Head Provisions Company, Inc., joined Chief DiPino at the press conference. The Project Lifesaver vehicle was on display and a demonstration of the GPS bracelet worn by Project Lifesaver clients was conducted.
The Sarasota Police Department has a dedicated sworn-staff overseeing the project with volunteers that work tirelessly to make sure each and every client is signed up properly. The staff issues each client a bracelet with GPS capability and makes sure the bracelet's batteries are changed monthly. The Project Lifesaver officers and volunteers give training to the caretakers of the clients, in case their loved one or person they are guardian of should wander away from safety. Our volunteers travel to the Project Lifesaver clients for their convenience which is why the donated vehicle is such a great asset to the Sarasota Police Department and a must for the program. The Sarasota Police Department Project Lifesaver has 87 active clients; 27 are Autistic or Down syndrome children. This program saves lives each year and, the program in Sarasota, as well as nationally, has had a one-hundred percent recovery rate! We have already had four (4) call-outs this year with successful results!
Eight (8) Sarasota Police Officers are certified to use the tracking equipment with Project Lifesaver. The Police Department has also trained three (3) North Port Police Officers and provides North Port Police Department with a Project Lifesaver tracker. This has cut down on response time for north county calls for assistance. Sarasota Police Department has six Project Lifesaver tracking units, one of which is with the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office Aviation Unit.
Since 2007, we have had 47 call-outs, 26 of which were found by Law Enforcement patrol prior to Project Lifesaver tracking. Six (6) were found with the information on their bracelet and 15 were found by Project Lifesaver Staff.
At this time, 44% of Project Lifesaver clients are on scholarship making it easier for the clients to obtain the life-saving bracelet along with its battery, which must be changed on a monthly basis.
The national average cost of searching for an Alzheimer (or other disorder) patient who wanders from their residence without being a Project Lifesaver client, is $1,500.00 per hour. These searches are longer and more assistance and manpower is required. The average time searching and locating a Project Lifesaver client is about 30 minutes. It is a money, time and especially life-saving program.
We are proud of Project Lifesaver program, and we could not have started it without the generosity of the Boars Head Provisions Company, Inc. here in Sarasota. We would ask that anyone who would like more information on the program call Officer Danny Robbins at the Sarasota Police Department, (941) 954-7056, or check out the Project Lifesaver website at www.projectlifesaver.org.

Gillespie Park – Painted Benches Event
Please join the students of the Sarasota School of Arts & Sciences at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 23rd, in Gillespie Park (710 N. Osprey Ave) as they begin painting benches as part of a community project.
The Gillespie Park Neighborhood Association proposed a competition for the students at the Sarasota School of Arts and Sciences for designs to be painted on a number of benches in Gillespie Park. The students submitted graphic designs for specific areas including the tennis courts, basketball court and pond areas. The student winners of the competition were: Bridget Fitzgerald, Danika Schnell, Kyle Guay, Carrie Zieble, Brittany Friedman. David Carr is the Visual Arts Director of the SSAS and will oversee the project with the students. Both SSAS administration and GPNA members selected the winning designs.
For further information, contact: Linda Holland, President, Gillespie Park Neighborhood Association at 941 313-0201; Tara Tahmosh, Principal, Sarasota School of Arts and Sciences at 941 330-1855.

The 2013 Click It or Ticket campaign runs from May 20 to June 2, 2013. In an effort to save more lives on America's roadways, the Sarasota Police Department along with other state and local law enforcement agencies are teaming up across the nation to crack down on motorists who are not buckling up. This campaign will be enforced day and night by the Sarasota Police Department Traffic Unit as well as the Patrol Division.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports the use of seat belts in passenger vehicles was estimated to have saved over 11,000 lives in 2011. In fatal crashes during 2011, 77 percent of passenger vehicle occupants who were thrown from their vehicles were killed. However, only 1 percent of crash victims who were buckled up were totally ejected from their vehicles, compared to 31 percent of those who were unbelted. Motorists are 75 percent less likely to be killed in a rollover crash if they are buckled up. Wearing a seatbelt is the single most effective way to reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes.
The Sarasota Police Department urges you to belt up when you enter your vehicle, day and night, no matter how short your trip! We also ask that you remind your kids, your family and your friends to do the same. This issue is important to Sarasota Police Chief DiPino because she credits seatbelt usage to saving the life of her mother, daughter and nephew during a car crash in the early 90's. Chief DiPino advises, "Seatbelts save lives, please remember to buckle up!"
So, buckle up today and every day, save yourself the expense of a ticket and possibly your life. It's well worth it.

This week is National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial Week, when we take time to remember fallen heroes, especially Sarasota Police Officer Warren David Jones whose End of Watch was on April 5, 1975. Officer Jones was overpowered by a suspect and shot during his tour of duty that day. Officer Warren D. Jones was the only police officer from the Sarasota Police Department to lose his life in the line of duty. The Sarasota Police Department has a memorial at the front of our new police department with a plaque in memory of Officer Jones.

Ten Year Old Boy Saves Three Year Old Girl from Drowning
The Sarasota Police Department congratulates ten-year-old Alexander Castanon for his part in saving the life of a drowning three-year-old. On April 20, 2013, in the evening, Castanon was swimming in his apartment complex pool at Signal Pointe Cr, along with a three- year-old neighbor, Natalee and her adult guardian. Natalee was wearing a floatation ring. The adult jumped out of the pool when a fire started in the grill nearby. While the adult put out the fire, Castanon noticed that Natalee was floating face down in the water. Castanon quickly pulled Natalee to safety and yelled for help. The adult ran over and began CPR. Natalee began breathing on her own. Natalee was transported to the hospital via Bayflite. She is doing just fine now, thanks to Alexander Castanon's quick response. The Sarasota Police Department applauds Alexander Castanon for his heroism.

Green Mountain Socialist senator Bernie Sanders puts it very plainly in a recent CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer: any talk of "free enterprise" or "the market economy" when it comes to the largest Wall Street banks and many other large corporations/industries is empty rhetoric. In this realm of political-commercial oligarchy, decisions about leadership, investment, products and services, organizational development, etc. are not made under the logic of market competition but instead through complex relational jockeying among top executives and investors aimed at expanding and perpetuating their oligarchy, especially via their influence over politicians, regulatory agencies, and the courts.
They have captured their regulators (in institutional economic terms) and, in the interests of both American democracy and our long-term economic prosperity as a people, need to be busted up and re-regulated.
Thank you, Bernie, for your clear articulation of this. (Goes to show what remaining independent does for one's ability to speak honestly and frankly about the affairs of the nation.)
There's nothing especially noteworthy about this situation – China runs this way, Russia runs this way, the Vatican runs this way, Machiavelli lived and breathed this logic, and so did the senate and consuls in ancient Rome – but America remains committed (last time I checked) to popular, representative democracy as the way to secure the general Welfare and the Blessings of Liberty (preamble to the US Constitution). As long as this commitment stands, circumstances such as those of the present simply cannot be allowed. Look at what happens.
Next week, Sanders will be introducing legislation to force a breakup of the six largest banks in the US.
By the way, if the concentration of influence, capture of government, and failure of both markets and democracy is a problem in the financial sector, what about other industries? On Tuesday, in his coolly received lunchtime keynote at the VBSR conference in Burlington, Vermont, Seventh Generation CEO John Replogle marveled at the fact that Wal-Mart's economy was now as large as the GDPs of the poorest 161 nations combined. Um, concentrated much? Where is that going to lead…?
MBA students of the world, ask yourselves: is it your lot to do the bidding of the few, the influential, and the democratically unaccountable – and hope a few crumbs fall from their table that put you slightly ahead of every other laboring schmuck in the disintegrating middle class – or should you be able to freely take risks and throw your energy, creativity, and skills into the ring with others like you and create the good society and the sustainable prosperity that you and your community deserve? Think about that question. Get involved. Study political economy. Because Sanders is quite accurate in both his diagnosis and his proposed treatment, and whether he succeeds or not, you need to understand why, for the sake of your own humanity.

Going to chuck a deckchair up on the roof to get a good view of the rioting and pillaging if we lose.

In 1999 after we lost - I was in Canada and talking to a Kiwi he said "I just feel like breaking something anything" And I felt the same way. Somewhere there will be trouble tonight (if the unthinkable happens)

I think the difference between 1999 and tonight, is that in 1999 a loss was almost unthinkable and so the disappointment was because the loss was so unexpected. Basically no one picked the French to win but they played brilliantly, particularly after halftime. I think a better comparison is to 2007 where although France again went into the match with little chance of winning, the ABs loss was more a result of their own shortcomings. In terms of the way the match played out, there were a number of similarities to the SA vs Australia match last weekend. Just looking at the way the bets have fallen for tonight's game, it would appear as though theres some advocates for an Australian victory, but I think the main contributing factor as to who wins, as in 2007, will be how the ABs handle the pressure.

Joubert has decided to keep a close eye on Pocock, obviously.
Pleased, tbh, because he did get away with murder versus the Saffers.

Now, this title can be interpreted in a couple of different ways, and that is exactly what i'd like to see happen. "Its all downhill from here?" That is a silly adage that will hopefully compel you to examine the way you drink…
So, I just cracked open a brand new bottle. I twisted the cap and got exactly what I expected: the clicking sound of the plastic seal and the tear of the paper insignia. This is a really significant moment and it changes now what this bottle means to me. Before, it was untouched, perhaps immaculate even. It was mine, but, also not mine. It belonged to itself. It was available to me, but I had to make it that way.
Remember when you were a kid…or a teenager…or last week, when you'd be poking around in your parent's liquor cabinet? You can take a bit here and a bit there from their already opened bottles, but dare you open a new one?! Break the seal? Dare you not!
Okay, so this bottle has been opened. Now what? Well, so much has changed. Why is it "all downhill from here?" Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I suppose it could be both good and bad, depending on how you look at it. Think about this cliché literally - you went uphill, which was probably arduous and bothersome, but hey! You're at the top now and the hard part is over. "Its all downhill from here," isn't it? Okay, sure. But let's think about it the other way around. The fallacy "Its a slippery slope" opens up a new perspective. So, you're at the top. The apparently difficult portion of your journey is complete, right? Not really. How the hell are you going to get down? Getting down a hill can be quick and fun. Getting down could be the reward you were seeking in the first place when you decided to go up. But you didn't anticipate these slick conditions, did you? This might end up being a regrettable decision for you after all. But how does this relate to my bottle of gin?
Allow me to be intimate with you and share with you some of the details of this particular bottle of Bombay Sapphire that I have just opened. It was purchased in Gatwick Airport, UK in October 2010. As some of you probably know, I prefer to get my gin from the greatest place on earth, the Duty Free Shop (an addict's paradise) because of the lower prices and the fact that you get it at export strength. So this bottle has traveled a long way to be here. It was chosen by me and it sat proudly on my desk until now. Now, its a different bottle. Its on deck! Once opened, it will never be the same again. So, what's the problem with that? Nothing at all! Is it all downhill from here? Yes! This bottle is now open and available for me to access any time I need it. Before that, I saw it in its perfection and beauty and avoided opening it due to the fact that there was often another bottle already open (or two, or three). That is definitely not the case anymore. Now that its open, it will be drank, and very soon, it will be no more.
"Its all downhill from here," though! Do you now see what I mean by this? I traveled far and wide to buy this wonderful bottle of gin. I let it sit there and I admired it for months. Other bottles have come and quickly gone, but now, it was time to open another. This one. I was finished waiting. It was certainly not easy, but I finally made it to the point of no return. The cap had been removed and, like that feeling you get at the top of the first hill of a roller coaster, it was about to get exciting! But alas, this fun won't last forever. I've already had three gin & tonic's while writing this segment! So, although breaking the seal of a new bottle takes a bit of courage, the results are both extraordinarily pleasing, as well as incredibly disappointing. This once perfect and crisp bottle of gin has now began to age and each time I look at it, the level has dropped just a bit more. The results are delicious, but they are unfortunately not timeless. In fact, that first G&T is starting to push it's way back out into the world! I beg your pardon, for just a moment…
Well, there certainly could not be a better transition into my next point than that! Three (and a half) magnificent gin cocktails later, and my body had run out of storage space. This was it. It was time to "break the seal!" Not a triumphant moment for too many people. The longer you hold out, the better the drink makes you feel! And that first trip to the toilet after a proper session of drinking is often rather monumental. Much like "A League of Their Own" character Jimmy Dugan's seemingly record-breaking piss that shocked Rosie O'Donnell and impressed Madonna, this little visit of my own was also of considerable length.
So, now what? Keep on drinking, right? Well, certainly! But there's no way in hell i'm going to be able to conquer three more of these wonderful morsels without visiting the toilet again, probably two or even three more times. I've broken the seal! It's all downhill from here! I have to time things out very carefully now! If I decide to go anywhere, I need to know how long it will take me and where the nearest toilet will be just in case! I'm now like a land-mine or an irritable infant on a long-haul flight. You never know when I'm going to go off! You'll also notice that when one drinks quite a lot and 'breaks the seal' they care less and less about the state of public toilets. No doors on the stalls, busted urinals and a sink with no hand towels? Who cares, because I am dyin' for a wee! Downhill? Absolutely!
Alright, so the seal is broken in more ways than one and it is understood that it is indeed "all downhill from here." I certainly have not attempted to embed any sort of lessons or morals into this entry but if anybody has found one, I think that is excellent! The wonderful thing about breaking open a new bottle of gin is that you can do it over and over again! I have a pretty fine looking bottle of Tanqueray sitting right next door to this newly active bottle of Bombay and it is just dying to spread its wings! I can certainly say, it hasn't got long to wait.

Crash Proof and Crash Proof 2.0: How to Profit From the Economic Collapse

Crash Proof and Crash Proof 2.0: How to Profit From the (Coming) Economic Collapse
Product Description
The economic tipping point for the United States is no longer theoretical. It is a reality today. The country has gone from the world's largest creditor to its greatest debtor; the value of the dollar is sinking; domestic manufacturing is winding down – and these trends don't seem to be slowing. Peter Schiff casts a sharp, clear-sighted eye on these factors and explains what the possible effects may be and how investors can protect themselves. For more than a decade, Schiff has not only observed the U.S. economy, but also helped his clients reposition their portfolios to reflect his outlook. What he sees is a nation facing an economic storm brought on by growing federal, personal, and corporate debt, too-little savings, a declining dollar, and lack of domestic manufacturing.
Crash-Proof is an informed and informative warning of a looming period marked by sizeable tax hikes, loss of retirement benefits, double digit inflation, even – as happened recently in Argentina – the possible collapse of the middle class. However, Schiff does have a survival plan that can provide the protection that readers will need in the coming years. Read the rest of this entry →

6 arrested in new rape of a bus passenger in India
NEW DELHI (AP) — Police said Sunday they have arrested six suspects in another gang rape of a bus passenger in India, four weeks after a brutal attack on a student on a moving bus in the capital outraged Indians and led to calls for tougher rape laws.
Police officer Raj Jeet Singh said a 29-year-old woman was the only passenger on a bus as she was traveling to her village in northern Punjab state on Friday night. The driver refused to stop at her village despite her repeated pleas and drove her to a desolate location, he said.
There, the driver and the conductor took her to a building where they were joined by five friends and took turns raping her throughout the night, Singh said.
The driver dropped the woman off at her village early Saturday, he said.
Singh said police arrested six suspects on Saturday and were searching for another.
Gurmej Singh, deputy superintendent of police, said all six admitted involvement in the rape. He said the victim was recovering at home.
Also on Saturday, police arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly raping and killing a 9-year-old girl two weeks ago in Ahmednagar district in western India, the Press Trust of India news agency reported. Her decomposed body was found Friday.
Police officer Sunita Thakare said the suspect committed the crime seven months after his release from prison after serving nine years for raping and murdering a girl in 2003, PTI reported Sunday.
The deadly rape of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi bus in December led to the woman's death and set off an impassioned debate about what India needs to do to prevent such tragedies. Protesters and politicians have called for tougher rape laws, police reforms and a transformation in the way the country treats women.
"It's a very deep malaise. This aspect of gender justice hasn't been dealt with in our nation-building task," Seema Mustafa, a writer on social issues who heads the Center for Policy Analysis think tank, said Sunday. Continued...
"Police haven't dealt with the issue severely in the past. The message that goes out is that the punishment doesn't match the crime. Criminals think they can get away it," she said.
In her first published comments, the mother of the deceased student in the New Delhi attack said Sunday that all six suspects in that case, including one believed to be a juvenile, deserve to die.
She was quoted by The Times of India newspaper as saying that her daughter, who died from massive internal injuries two weeks after the attack, told her that the youngest suspect had participated in the most brutal aspects of the rape.
Five men have been charged with the physiotherapy student's rape and murder and face a possible death penalty if convicted. The sixth suspect, who says he is 17 years old, is likely to be tried in a juvenile court if medical tests confirm he is a minor. His maximum sentence would be three years in a reform facility.
"Now the only thing that will satisfy us is to see them punished. For what they did to her, they deserve to die," the newspaper quoted the mother as saying.
Some activists have demanded a change in Indian laws so that juveniles committing heinous crimes can face the death penalty.
The names of the victim of the Dec. 16 attack and her family have not been released.

Deciding to Love: Yes, Even Your In-laws by Susan Besze Wallace "She treated me like the daughter she never had, until the wedding, when I started to see how little she liked to give up control, especially to me." "I just want them to like me, but I never feel like I'm enough in their eyes." "I feel like my husband always sides with his mom, and I feel left out in the cold."
How can those who raised the man you love make you so crazy? Consider that they have known him his whole life. They don't know you like he does. They might fear being replaced. You crave approval. There are few relationships fraught with as much potential for misunderstanding and missteps. But these relationships are also full of potential. Someone once told me that deciding to love each day, no matter how you are loved in return, is powerful and life-changing. It may be the best piece of advice I ever received. To love is indeed a decision, not a "switch" we wait for others or circumstances to turn on inside us. Some days, when we're hanging on by a thread, we even have to choose to love our kids! Some women, myself included, have in-laws who are easy to love. (We despise those cheap in-law jokes.) They are eager to be a part of our lives in great, constructive ways. Whatever situation you have, it's likely that at the root of that relationship is a desire for approval. We want them to approve of their son's choice, and our parenting, and maybe even our housekeeping or cooking. I sure yearned for that support every visit, every phone call, for so long. If I'm honest with myself, I still do. Maybe not approval any more, but encouragement? You bet. The chaotic truth of raising kids has taught me that our feelings of worth cannot be tied up in others' opinions of us. It's also shown me that we all want to be accepted. But you can't expect something you're not willing to give others. One mother of three reflects what I hear so often: "I wasted a lot of time and energy being bitter. My mother-in-law was pretty critical of everything I did. And that hurt. But when I decided to just accept who she was and look at her with love — no matter what was looking back — I started to see what I thought was criticism much differently. Our relationship changed." Here are some more thoughts on improving or maintaining these unique relationships:
Susan Besze Wallace, author and editor of the MOPS 2012 devotional Always There: Reflections for Moms on God's Presence, due out this Spring. She is enormously grateful to her in-laws for the gift of their son, and for loving them and their three boys so very, very well.

text: The Show Catwalk Back stage Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2008-9 Ready-To-Wear MaxMara 21 February 2008 REMAINING true to form, smart tailoring and clean lines appeared to be the overriding theme for MaxMara's autumn/winter 2008-09 collection. Apart from some subtle gatherings of hemlines into knot-like formations, clothes remained minimal and fuss-free. Emphasised shoulders - seen on tops, jackets and coats - had an Eighties edge, balanced by twists and folds of the fabric that made the looks fresh and modern. The palette complemented the sophisticated simplicity of the pieces, the designer favouring varying shades of charcoal, gun-metal grey and silver while flickers of lilac, arctic blue and white gave the show a decidedly wintry feel. But, despite the coldness of the colours, luxurious furs and oversized wool coats reassured us that winter's icy chill would be kept well away. Meanwhile, eveningwear came in the form of long, demure satin and draped jersey dresses that will ensure MaxMara's place on the catwalk for many seasons to come. (February 21 2008, PM) Olivia Marks

Comments about Womens R-Gear Undercover Seamless Thong Underwear Bottoms: I bought these to wear while running and they are great! They are so comfortable it almost feels like I have no underwear on at all. I just returned and bought 4 more pairs to wear while running or doing other exercises as well. These will be nice to wear for aerobics (hard to find a thong that fits well while moving around).
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Womens R-Gear Undercover Seamless Thong Underwear Bottoms: These are by far the most comfortable thong I have ever worn. You don't even know you have them on. Only complaint is the minimal color selection. I wear mine for everyday, not just running, and would love a couple neutral or white pairs.
Cons Best Uses
Comments about Womens R-Gear Undercover Seamless Thong Underwear Bottoms: I tested these out yesterday during a full marathon (I know, I broke the rules and wore something new the day of a race!) and I completely forgot I was wearing them until I changed clothes! They are super comfortable and stayed dry...and they truly feel seamless...no chafing or digging (unlike other seamless thongs which use the "bonded" seams...those can actually be sharp and chafe!!) Only recommendation would be to maybe order a size up from your regular size. I usually wear a small but in these that would have been much too snug. Medium was great. (These fit the same as the RR seamless full coverage underwear, in which I also take a medium.) Ordering more right now!!

-Is it possible to define a function in the inlinevop and then call it as well? Something along the lines of:
float f(float x, float y){ return x*y; } z=f(12.0,23.0); printf("z:%f ",z);
We can do this with a Vex builder type by putting the functions in the outer code section if I remember correctly. But how about inline vop?
-Is there a way to turn a string into a vex expression? For example, a user would enter "x^2" as a parameter and we could use it as
x^2in the code.

Opening up about her music and relationships, Swift got personal with the mag, saying that she doesn't 'hook up' and setting the record straight on this summer's story that she crashed a Kennedy wedding with new boyfriend Connor.
On the rumours surrounding Swift upstaging a Kennedy wedding, the singer explained "I have no idea what happened there. I think that story was based on the biggest misunderstanding, 'cause I would never knowingly show up somewhere that I thought I wasn't invited to. And I would never want to upstage anybody."
Swift also addressed a story saying that she had kidnapped her 18 year old boyfriend, saying "You can't kidnap a grown man! These are serious accusations, now! It's an interesting way to spin something into a story. See, this is why I don't read stuff."
Of course, no interview with Swift would be complete without a paragraph or two on love. In this month's mag, Swift discusses her views on the subject, saying "It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I'll talk myself out of it. …I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them."
Taylor Swift's Rolling Stone Magazine hits stands later this month.

Check out the new sunscreen guidelines from the FDA.
Why should I use sunscreen for sun protection?
Sun protection products help protect your skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays.
You can't see UV rays from the sun! There are three types of UV rays:
- UV-A rays go deep into skin to cause damage like wrinkles, sagging and tanning. UV-A rays pass through window glass. Tanning booths emit primarily UV-A rays.
- UV-B rays are shorter and stronger. UV-B rays burn the top layers of the skin.
- UV-C rays are strongest and most dangerous. Luckily, the ozone layer keeps them from reaching earth.
Choosing and using sun protection products
Look at the SPF
Sunscreen products contain active ingredients that absorb into your skin to provide sun protection within the skin layers. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) number on the product label tells you how long the product will protect your skin from burning. Use a sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher.
Broad spectrum products are best
These products have ingredients that absorb into your skin and block both harmful UV-A and UV-B rays from ever entering your skin.
Use products that contain one of the following to get broad spectrum protection:
- zinc oxide
- titanium dioxide
- avobenzone
- mexoryl
Is it water resistant?
Sun protection products may be labeled as "water resistant". Don't be misled by these labels – reapply sunscreen every 40-80 minutes when you have been in the water.
Tips for using sun protection products
- Use one ounce (1 oz.) – about the size of a golf ball – to protect the average adult.
- Apply products 20-30 minutes before going outside.
- Don't forget to apply products to your ears, neck, scalp, hands and feet.
- Apply a lip balm with SPF to your lips.
- Reapply products every 2 hours.
- Don't forget to protect your eyes. Wear sunglasses with 100 percent protection from UVA/UVB rays.

The similarities and connections between the story and rebuild of this E Type and that of Bluebird K7 are striking
Renegadenemo wrote:Now I was told - and I have no idea whether it's true or not - that the K7 rebuild was the inspiration for this endeavour and another, yet to be unveiled, project with similar aims.
Not far from me, and having had some restoration work carried out for its Italian owner, is Lotus 72 R2 which is the car in which Jochen Rindt had his fatal accident on the 5th September 1970.

Edward Wilson's Books
From the Independent:
Such was the missile gap in the early Sixties that if the US had attacked the Soviet Union the only Soviet response would have been a strike against Western Europe. It made sense for MI6, then, to trick the US into thinking that the Soviets were more advanced than they were. This is the premise for Edward Wilson's brilliant third novel that takes...
Fournier was being very naughty and it was important that the Brits got to him before the Americans, who had the evidence to blackmail him all the way to the Ninth Circle of Hell, where traitors were frozen in ice for all eternity.
"Wilson's smart, finely written sequel to The Envoy mines an underutilized place and period of cold war history: Berlin, 1956. ...will delight...
There are no fast cars in my books and no glitzy gadgets, but there is betrayal, marital infidelity, conspiracy and ruthlessness. I tell the truth about espionage and foreign policy – and relationships too. My characters operate in the murky cellars of Realpolitik. Allies are sometimes sacrificed, while enemies are embraced. The moments of joy and intimacy are rare, but all the more genuine for that.
My books are largely about outsiders in a dangerous world. As one critic wrote of Catesby, the main character in my last two novels: 'Like all outsiders, he is forced constantly to observe and notice, purely to survive.'
—Edward Wilson

A 23-year-old Sampson man was jailed Thursday after running from a traffic stop and, when caught, assaulting an officer before being taken into custody.
Jerry Paul McCarty, 1164 N. Ellis Road, Faison was placed under a $35, 000 bond after being charged with possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a controlled substance; possession of precursor chemicals; resisting a public officer; assault on a law enforcement officer; and damage to property, all felonies.
The incident happened just before 7 p.m. Thursday when a vehicle was stopped on Ellis Road at Giddensville Road, near Faison. The three occupants were asked by sheriff's deputies to vacate the car for a canine search and during that search one of them, later identified as McCarty, ran from the scene and into a nearby soybean field. An officer pursued and when he caught up with the suspect, an altercation occurred.
The deputy was injured and the suspect apprehended.
Sheriff's reports show methamphetamine was confiscated during the stop, and McCarty was taken to the Detention Center was he was charged and jailed.
The deputy was taken to Sampson Regional Medical Center's emergency room where he was treated for minor injuries and later released.


text: The Show Catwalk Fashion Shows Autumn/Winter 2013-14 Ready-To-Wear McQ Alexander McQueen 15 February 2013 Jessica Bumpus THE McQ Alexander McQueen label has, over the past year, been re-aligning itself in the fashion world and working out just exactly where it stands, making its mark. This time last year there was a London Fashion Week debut, then the opening of a new flagship store and then in September it was announced that Alistair Carr, formerly of Pringle, was to be its new head of design - though Sarah Burton holds overall control and creative vision of the line. It's all change, but not really - it's more just the streamlining of the label ever since it went back to being controlled by Alexander McQueen (it had previously been under a license agreement with SINV SpA) in 2010.And it feels really right just now. A look at the autumn/winter 2013-14 collection and you can see all the Alexander McQueen hallmarks and underpinnings but put together and executed in a more youthful and wearable way - there is a distinct trickle-down effect going on here and the result is a collection that talks to the younger McQueen audience in all the right ways.It's rebellious but refined with it, mixing serious frock coats (with that signature McQueen masterpiece back detailing) with street-wise bombers of tartan-to-tiger prints. It's historically-informed - just like McQueen - but brought back down to earth for wardrobe-relevant effect.Prince of Wales check gone wild with more tiger print overlay; fringing; mohair; ruffled hems; vivid red and blues - there's that punk spirit but it's all very urban and cool with it for seriously good coats, fun and feisty dresses and slouchy jumpers. Though no show or presentation for this collection - a film instead - it feels right. Less is more in this instance and makes McQ Alexander McQueen feel more accessible to its audience, which it now feels like it knows more than ever.

According to a news release issued by Payne:
The forum will be at 5:30 p.m. in the courtroom on the second floor of the historic Floyd County Courthouse on Fifth Avenue.
Payne will give a description of the new law and what it will mean for vehicle owners. There will also be time for a question-and-answer period.
The new law will forever change the way vehicles purchased after March 1 are taxed.
If the car is purchased from a dealership, either new or used, the purchaser will not pay sales tax, but rather a new ad valorem tax that is 6.5 percent of the cost of the vehicle. Once that tax is paid, the purchaser will be exempt from annual ad valorem tax for the life of the vehicle.
If someone buys a second-hand vehicle from a non-dealer, they will also pay the new tax, 6.5 percent of the vehicle's worth. They will also be exempt from the annual ad valorem tax.
Those who purchase vehicles, from a dealer or otherwise, prior to Feb. 28 will not be impacted by the new tax. Owners will continue to pay ad valorem tax as usual.
Vehicles purchased out of state are subject to the tax as well. The tax is the result of House Bill 386, which was approved by the Georgia General Assembly last year.
Call Payne at 706-291-5148 or email him at email@example.com with any questions regarding this forum or the new title tax law.

Clean Cars and Clear Sinuses, be Warned. Pollen Season is Coming.
April 9th, 2013 in NewsWhile there's little you can do about pollen on the outside of your vehicle, there's one easy way to take care of things inside. A clean cabin air filter stops pollen, dust, and mold spores from circulating through your vehicle's HVAC system and your lungs. A dirty cabin air filter smells terrible and is unhealthy for you and any passengers. Over 50 million Americans suffer from allergies, which are also the sixth leading cause of chronic disease. Changing your old cabin air filter for a new one is an inexpensive maintenance tip that quickly pays for itself.
Many owners aren't aware that their vehicle has a cabin air filter, or mistake it for the air filter in the engine bay. Different vehicles recommend different replacement schedules, ranging from every other oil change to once a year. A new air filter breathes fresh air into the cabin, and even improves fuel economy by allowing air to flow without restriction. If you're having trouble finding your cabin air filter, or need help swapping it out for a new one, ask the experts at Carl Black Automotive.

New Horizons…No one can accuse Bayliner of resting on its laurels. They've cranked out yet another solid product and this time it's after the larger families that want to spend all day on the water. The flagship bowrider, the Bayliner 245 BR is and ideal size for use on an inland like or river, but is also big enough for coastal day cruising in good weather. What's inside…For features, there's as much as you would expect from a Bayliner. The stereo has an MP3 jack, the bow has filler cushions for sun baking. The carry-on cooler is a full 54qt and has dedicated storage under the port lounge seat. The port side companion seat has a flip back that converts from forward facing to an aft facing lounge. We like this as it is ideal for a waterski spotter. The enclosed head is better thought of as a changing room with a Porta-Potti. It could use a sink and mirror, but for washing hands, there's always the cockpit sink. And for those just getting out of the water there's the ever popular transom shower. And we love the bow boarding ladder, that will help Mom and the tots descend to the beach without getting wet. (Dad, of course, will gladly jump over the side and wade in, MacArthur-like.) This is a useful feature and one not found on many much more expensive boats. Would you believe that's her fifth child? Neither would we. But we do believe that's a very comfortable lounger with the flip-back that converts to forward facing in a jiff. Great for observing the skier or wakeboarder. Note the snap in carpeting and convenient drink holders. And check out the wrap-around windshield.Helm…The helm has a single adjustable bucket seat with a flip-up bolster. That's good because it means you can stand while driving. The dash panel has been completely re-done and features a non-glare brow, a digital depth gauge, and full instrumentation that includes a fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, speedometer, tachometer gauge, temperature gauge, trim gauge, and voltmeter. The wheel is connected to a power-assist rack and pinion, and the throttle is side mounted.The bow boarding ladder is a staple on every dayboat, and notice it actually reaches the beach. We like the separate nav lights but we'd rather see pop-up cleats to keep little fingers from getting jammed. The gel stripe can be color matched to the bimini boot color of your choice. Options to choose from…Since we're big fans of boating at night, we love docking lights (add $471). Every boat needs a bimini top, so we were surprised to see that it was on the options list (add $671) but since you'll be adding that feature anyway, you may as well go with the "family fun package" which includes the bimini with a boot in your choice of color, matching gel color stripe and steering wheel upgrade for an additional $15 over the bimini alone. We would also recommend the extended swim platform (add $764) which gives more room to play and provides the safety of clearing jumpers past the outdrive. Power up…Standard power is a 220-hp 5.0L MerCruiser. Upgrades go on up to a 300-hp 350 MAG MPI with a dual propped Bravo III outdrive (Add $11,293). And since this boat is a trailerable 8'6" (2.59 m) beam, you'll possibly want to opt for a tandem-axle galvanized trailer with brakes (Add $4,893) as long as you have a vehicle rated to haul the 3,973 lbs (1,802 kg) load. Specs…Your Bayliner 245BR has a LOA of 24' 4" (7.42 m) and a beam of 8' 6" (2.59 m). She draws 3'0" (.91 m) and carries 78 gal (295.2 L) of fuel, 15 gal (56.8 L) of water, and you plus 10 of your best buds. And all this comes with a base price of only $38,147.00.
