Hey Schemers, new Scheme user here. Looking for enlightenment on an exercise I'm doing at the end of Simply Scheme chapter 06 True and False.
Boring exercise 6.1 has the following cond expression:
(cond (empty? 3)
(square 7)
(else 9))
In my head, this should return the value of (square 7). But in the interpreter, it returns the value of (empty? 3).
(Tested the return of (empty?) by changing the '3' to other atoms and lists).
Why is this?
What I understand:
1. Any non false value is true in Scheme.
2. The first statement is evaluated and if true the interpreter returns #t, what is specified or #unspecified dependent on context then exits the cond.
What I don't understand:
1. If the result of (empty? 3) is #f, wouldn't it evaluate the next cond argument?
2. If the interpreter evaluates (empty? 3), why doesn't it return #t in this case? (as when the expression is evaluated on its own?)
Using SCM with Slib and the libraries that come with the book (simply.scm functions.scm ttt.scm match.scm database.scm) loaded.

Nursing union angry at prospect of frontline job losses in South Australia
The Opposition said the South Australian Government was planning to reduce the number of nursing jobs, which would break a promise it would not to cut frontline services.
Health Minister Jack Snelling told a parliamentary estimates committee about 600 jobs would be cut within SA Health over the next four years.
He said any reduction in nursing staff should be able to be met by natural attrition.
Opposition health spokesman Rob Lucas said, however it was done, the Government was looking to reduce nursing numbers overall.
"That's contrary to the promise that Mr Weatherill and Mr Snelling have been giving for years that frontline services - nurses, doctors, teachers and police - would not be part of any budget cuts under their Government," he said.
Nursing and Midwifery Federation secretary Elizabeth Dabars said it was the first time the current Government had touched the nursing workforce.
"We're absolutely shocked that there is a prospect to cut the jobs of nurses and midwives," she said.
"We've always received assurances and commitments from this Government and SA Health that no frontline service cuts to nurses or midwives would be conducted."
Australian Medical Association South Australian president Patricia Montanaro said doctors were worried for patient care.
"When we were told about the staff reduction and also taking $50 million out of the health budget and also there was a comment of being asked to treat higher-severity patients with the same dollars, if you're talking about taking out frontline staff you can't treat higher-severity cases. It just doesn't add up," she said.
"If clinicians are taken out of the frontline then you can't treat the same number of people, or you can't treat them to the same quality."
Meanwhile, Mr Snelling said a new health sector computer system for patient records would now cost $422 million, which was $14 million more than the original estimate.
The system was to start operation last March but will now go live at Noarlunga Hospital in August.
Compensation fight over RAH site
Mr Snelling said the SA Government would fight vigorously a compensation claim over contamination at the new Royal Adelaide Hospital site.
He told the parliamentary estimates committee the consortium building the hospital was seeking more than $1 million in compensation for dealing with contamination of the former railyards site.
He said the consortium was claiming the extent of remediation needed would be more than outlined by the Government.
"There's a process under the contract for any dispute between the Government and consortium ... for that to be arbitrated, so it will go to an independent arbitrator who'll make a decision," he said.
"But, as I say, my very strong advice is the Government's very strong position is we have no liability."
SA Premier Jay Weatherill said a design competition would help decide the future of the current Royal Adelaide Hospital site.
The hospital will open at a new site at the western end of North Terrace in 2016.
The competition will open on July 18 and a winner will be chosen in December after a shortlist of six finalists is drawn up.
The Government will outline design criteria but the Premier said it did not want to pre-judge what a final design might include.
Mr Weatherill said the prize pool of $900,000 would be enough to offset the cost of the design work.
"What we're getting is the best of really anybody's ideas, narrowing it down to six, picking one two and three and that will inform the next stage in the process. We don't have to obviously have a solution until 2016 but we think this is a good way to go," he said.
He said the shortlist would include a 'people's choice' finalist.
Government architect Ben Hewett said a contest would would help attract quality designs.
"The opportunity to be able to go internationally to source the best ideas from around the world is an extraordinary opportunity to have people contributing their ideas to this city," he said.
The Opposition said the competition would pave the way for a broken promise.
Liberal Rob Lucas said former premier Mike Rann had indicated the site would be returned to parklands.
"The Government had committed to demolish all the buildings and return it to open space parklands and the Botanic Gardens," he said.
"Personally that was never my view. There should be some reuse of the site so if the Government is paving the ground for breaking that particular commitment we'd welcome at least that particular part of it."

The Basics: Justification of Sinners
In our 11-part series looking at how the Alliance's Basis of Faith is Good News for our neighbours, John Piper discusses…
8. The justification of sinners soley by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
God has done the most deadly work to destroy hopelessness and futility and provincial cowardice. He gave up His Son to torture and death. A perfect life, a perfect death and the decisive work have been accomplished.
But there are millions who are numb to hope because of the God-belittling things they have done and how ugly they have become. They don't lift lofty arguments against God's truth; they shrug and feel irretrievably outside. They don't defy God consciously; they default to cake and television. Except for the periodic rush of sex and sport and cinema, life yawns. There is no passion for significance. For many, no passion at all.
There is a Christian version of this paralysis. The decision has been made to trust Christ. The shoot of hope and joy has sprung up. The long battle against sin has begun. But the defeats are many, and the plant begins to wither. One sees only clouds and gathering darkness. The problem is not perplexing doctrine or evolutionary assaults or threats of persecution. The problem is falling down too many times. Gradually, the fatal feeling creeps in: the fight is futile; it isn't worth it.
Along with this hopelessness and futility, especially in an age of terrorism, provincial cowardice captures many Christian minds. They fear that it may sound conceited to call every people group in the world to trust Christ or perish. It seems too global. Too sweeping. Too universal. To say it takes their breath away. And, worse, it brings down the wrath of the tolerant. What could be more arrogant than to think that the infinite variety of need in all the cultural groups of the world could be met by a single Saviour?
Clear answers
It is astonishing that the biblical Gospel of justification by faith alone answers these three human failures: the hopelessness of unbelievers, the feeling of futility from falling down and the fear of making global claims for Christ.
The biblical, historic, Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone can be summarised in the following four points:
- To be justified, or "declared to be in right standing with God", means that Christ has borne all my sin in His death on the cross, and that I am now clothed in the righteousness of Christ who lived a perfect life of obedience to God.
- Faith alone is the sole means of justification. In other words, it is faith only, and not our deeds in any way (whether the external manifestation or the internal God-glorifying motive behind them), that connects us savingly to Jesus Christ.
- Faith is not the means of justification because it is a good work. Faith is the means of justification because faith receives God's gift to us of His own righteousness in Jesus Christ. Faith is not the same as Christian obedience. However, while it is faith alone that justifies, the faith that justifies is of such a nature that it will produce love for people and a life of genuine, though imperfect, holiness in this world.
- Therefore, this "clothing" of Christ's righteousness, which is ours in Christ as a gift when we first trust in Him, is different from our growth in holiness, which happens throughout the rest of our lives as the Holy Spirit works within us.
To the numb and listless sinner, feeling beyond all hope of godliness, the Bible says, "To the one who does not work but trusts Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness" (Romans 4.5). God justifies the "ungodly". This truth is meant to break the back of hopelessness.
The connection between the sinner and the Savior is trust, not improvement of behavior. That comes later. It's this order that gives hope. "For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law" (Romans 3.28).
The basis of this wild and wonderful hope (the ungodly being declared righteous) is "Christ for righteousness to everyone who believes" (Romans 10.4, literal translation). Through faith alone, God counts the ungodly as righteous because of Christ. "For our sake [God] made [Christ] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5.21). Let all who are paralysed by the weight of sin and the powerlessness to change turn here.
This truth is meant to break the back of hopelessness
Gutsy guilt
To the fallen saint, who knows the darkness is self-inflicted and feels the futility of looking for hope from a frowning Judge, the Bible gives a shocking example of gutsy guilt. It pictures God's failed prophet beneath a righteous frown, bearing his chastisement with broken-hearted boldness. "Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. I will bear the indignation of the Lord because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light" (Micah 7.8-9).
This is courageous contrition. Gutsy guilt. The saint has fallen. The darkness of God's indignation is on him. He does not blow it off, but waits. And he throws in the face of his accuser the confidence that his indignant Judge will plead his cause and execute justice for (not against) him. This is the application of justification to the fallen saint. Broken-hearted, gutsy guilt.
For the squeamish fellow afraid of making global claims for Christ, the biblical teaching on justification by faith alone explodes his little world. It says: The deepest problem to be solved is the same for every human being, because every human is a descendant of Adam. And the problem to be solved is that "by one man's disobedience many were made sinners"; "one trespass led to condemnation for all men". The only solution to this universal condemnation is a "second Adam" who provides "the free gift of righteousness" to all who hear the Gospel and believe (Romans 5.17-19). Therefore Christ, the second Adam, the giver of righteousness, is the only global Saviour.
Embrace as your treasure the gift of justification. There is no part of your life where it is not immeasurably precious.

Silverthorne Nordic Center open for the season
The Silverthorne Nordic Center at the Raven Golf Course at Three Peaks opens today for the season.
Cross country skiers and snow shoe enthusiasts can choose from two courses: The north course and the south course, both open from dawn until dusk for free.
Parking, course maps and course rules are located at the Raven Clubhouse at 2929 North Golden Eagle Rd.
The north course presents more challenging terrain with plenty of changes in elevation. Beginners will be most comfortable on the south course, according to the press release, which is flatter but still offers a variety of twists and turns.
Both routes provide spectacular views and a chance to experience the outdoors either alone or with friends and family.
Dogs are not allowed and the groomed routes are for those with snow shoes and skis only, as regular foot traffic damages the grooming.
For additional details about the Nordic center, visit http://www.silverthorne.org or call the Silverthorne Recreation Center at (970) 262-7370.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

Ask and ye shall receive, perhaps not at that moment, perhaps later, but you will always receive the intentions of your hearts.
Well, here is a story of such. To cut the extra details, one day the interns had Soda with the Senator. We all were able to ask one question, and then we were to have like a general overall question. Nobody came up with the biggie, so I proposed one we had all talked about. Let's ask the Senator if he will arrange for us to go up inside the dome of the United States Capitol. Well, we went into the meeting, and I got in a bit of trouble, but I asked it. I was in trouble because we found out the Member of Congress has to do it themselves. This would be a scheduling nightmare for the Senator. Well, we all understood and went our ways.
Well, the time for our internship was winding down. On the Thursday before I was to come home, the Senator asked me to escort him to the floor. We walked along, he gave me a Christmas present, and gave me some advice. The advice came from his personal experience as a husband, and also from his experience as a Bishop. He then with excitement announced that he had arranged that he could take us into the dome of the Capitol. It would be the next day at three PM. Well, obviously I was excited, but it just so happened, that I was leaving the next day. I informed him of this and he said he was most sorry. He had made this happen mostly for me and that he was sorry he waited too long.
Well, let me tell you, the office was excited. The lowly intern, asked an unaskable question, and they were now benefiting. They promised to think of me, they promised to take pictures of the expedition. You will notice that there are some new photos in the 'Leaving DC' gallery. That is what those photos are containing. The staff's pictures of the Senator's personal tour of the Capitol Dome! Enjoy them. There is a classic of looking down into the Capitol Rotunda. There are pictures that include the Senator. Enjoy.
There is a little more to the story. The next day, I am filling out a marriage application in the Salt Lake City Clerk's office. My phone rings. On the other end, I hear Gavin Bruce announce he was speaking to me from the top of the United States Capitol Dome overlooking the city. In the background Senator Smith bellows, 'Wish you were here Paul'. I was so completely jealous. Greg, Gavin, Steve, and others all sent emails afterward thanking me. Apparently the Senator at every high point in the tour commented something like, 'I think Paul would have enjoyed this'. Oh well. As they were telling it to me in the Clerk's office, Amanda caught my attention and pointed out a sign that said thank you for not using cell phones. The folks to our side looked like they would appreciate my obedience. I finished our conversation, and again felt left out of the chance of a lifetime!
I want to say here, that I hope someday, somehow, I will again have the chance to ascend to the top of one of our country's most prized possessions. A place that only 535 people have permission to go, a few caretakers, a few construction workers and cleaners, and those who are personally escorted by one of those people. Someday……..

PRA's groundbreaking exposé of how tax dollars fund anti-Muslim trainings for police and counterterrorism personnel won the attention of news outlets and policy makers at its release this spring. We've been keeping the pressure on the Department of Homeland Security to stop funding flawed and bigoted training courses and in the last week our efforts have gotten a boost from CNN and National Public Radio.
NPR's Dina Temple-Raston, one of the first to report on PRA's findings, broadcast a "Morning Edition" story this week about a counterterrorism training in Ohio that smeared a Jordanian-American professor with accusations of links to terrorism. NPR reports that the professor had worked with the Department of Homeland Security on a highly effective outreach program to the Muslim community. The only "evidence" the trainer, former FBI agent and ex- Marine John Guandolo, gave NPR for singling out the professor was a photograph of the man with members of a Muslim-American civil rights organization.

SEG's specialty – so-called "unconstrained analysis" – draws on a catch phrase that has cropped up in Islamophobic parlance. "Unconstrained analysis" functions as shorthand for analysis that is not constrained by respect for Muslim Americans' voices and concerns. Nor is it constrained by the reality millions upon millions of followers of Islam do not experience or relate to the narrow-minded, bigoted interpretation of Islam promoted by so-called counter-terrorism experts who view warfare against non-Muslims as a central tenet of Islamic teachings and law. Whereas explicit calls for racial and religious profiling could result in "experts" being shunned in official circles, it's critical that watchdogs in government recognize the codewords that could justify profiling or discrimination.
Guandolo focuses on the Muslim Brotherhood and its alleged activity in the
A number of experts on the Muslim Brotherhood have debunked the conspiracy theory voiced by Guandolo. For instance, Nathan Brown, a

Setting aside basic problems such as selective reading, Guandolo's analysis also suffers largely as a result of its paranoid associative tactics. In one example, which was highly publicized by NPR, Guandolo falsely accused Omar al-Omari, a 59-year-old Jordanian college professor who is an American citizen and has lived in
Fortunately, since Guandolo can play guilt-by-association, so can his critics. Guandolo's partner at SEG is Stephen Coughlin, a right-wing proponent of the thesis that Islam is inherently violent and Muslims are our enemies. Along with Coughlin, Guandolo also co-authored a report at the Center for Security Policy with other Islamophobic activists Frank Gaffney, Clare Lopez, and David Yerushalmi called "Shariah: The Threat to

So last weekend, a group of over 30 of my friends from across the UK (including Glasgow!) got together for a Bank Holiday weekend by the sea in Tenby. As a born and bred south Pembrokeshire boy, I could think of nowhere better to stay than in Tenby and with better than forecast weather, we make the most of Tenby South and North Beaches during our stay.
|With the many good friends who spent their weekend with
me, celebrating my 30th birthday in Tenby!
It wasn't a matter of looking back forlornly at time lost and looking ahead concerningly at a new decade. Anyone who thought that that was the mentality in which I approached the celebrations, mistook my sense of self and indeed, my sense of humour entirely.
For I can easily describe the past 10 years as being the best decade of my life. I've been very fortunate to have had good health and to have made such good friends and to have lived and enjoyed so many unique moments in that time. This then for me personally, was an opportunity to give thanks to what has been a splendid period of my life.
Looking ahead, I do so with great enthusiasm and with that 'glass half-full' mentality of which I am very proud. Many friends joked during the weekend that they couldn't believe that I was 30 - they thought that I must've been 40 such is my 'old head on young shoulders' persona!
It doesn't bother me one jot. I've always taken life with a slight pinch of salt and a great dose of irony. We don't know what's around the corner and so we must embrace life with a zestful love and thanks for being so fortunate when others in the world are markedly less so.
So if anyone did mistake my self-depracating ironic humour for that of someone lamenting the passing of time, you couldn't have been further from the truth. My 20s were indeed a wonderful time but that is now in the past and I wouldn't wish to re-live it. Life is for the here and now.
So, 30s? Bring it on!

Elliott Clark, of Kansas City, Missouri, said he borrowed five $500 payday loans that cost him $50,000 in interest. Payday Installment Loan: Like small consumer loans, payday installment loans have longer terms than conventional payday loans, lasting up to six months. Fast Auto & Payday Loans is ready to help you get the cash you need to handle almost any cash emergency. And while payday lenders get trashed by government regulators and activists, payday customers, he says, seem to tell a different story.
But don't worry � you can apply for a cash loan in Las Vegas, NV through Koster's Cash Loans. In Texas, RISE Credit Service of Texas, LLC d/b/a RISE is licensed by the Office of the Consumer Credit Commissioner, License No. 16507-62536. To apply, you generally need proof of income, approved proof of identity, and an active checking account.
Payday Loans (also referred to as Payday Advances, Cash Advances, Deferred Deposit Transactions/Loans) and high-interest loans should be used for short-term financial needs only and not as a long-term financial solution. Do, Aspire is�easy to join - just check that you want to join the American Consumer Council (free) while filling out your membership application online.
We have created the most complete list of lenders currently willing to refinance student loan debt. To ensure you stay in your small consumer loan long enough to pay down a significant portion of your balance, the new law prohibits lenders from rolling you over into a new loan in the first 75 days of your loan's term.
Creditors also may not, for example, require use of a check or access to a bank account for the loan, mandatory arbitration, and unreasonable legal notices. These loans are provided for mid-term or long-term investments in machinery, equipment, fixtures etc.

After playing the first six seasons of his career for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Willie Colon signed with the New York Jets last offseason because he wanted to play for head coach Rex Ryan.
With Colon's one-year contract with the Jets coming to a conclusion after Sunday's regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins, both Colon and Ryan are uncertain whether they will be back with the Jets next season.
"Of course I want to be a Jet," Colon said, in an interview with Alex Marvez and Phil Savage on Sirius XM NFL Radio. "This is home for me. My family is happy I'm home. I'm happy I'm here. I'd like to finish a Jet but we all know there's a business side of things. I'm 30 years old. I still feel like I've got a lot left in the tank."
Colon grew up in the Bronx and played at Hofstra University on Long Island. He's started all 15 games this season for the Jets at right guard.
Colon hopes that both he and Ryan will be back with the Jets next season.
"I believe in the guy. I came to New York to play for the guy. He was one of the guys I was passionate to meet," Colon said. "…For me, it was coming to play for him and playing for a coach that, if he could, would put his hand in the dirt right next to you. That's why we love him."

I just signed offline, had a great night with my webcam and my friends. Dressed up as Pikachu.
I'm not going to be online again for a while with my trip to NYC coming so soon.
I can't wait but I will miss my webcam community! Maybe I will sign online during the drive, borrow internet from my phone
Last time I was in New York it was a great time.
I'll be visiting with Christian Saint again. We have a project to do, can't give you info on it though. I think anytime I ever do a shoot with Christian you guys wont know what's going on until you see it. Surprises are fun
Almost got all my costumes prepped and ready to go for the con. I'll be finishing that up Sunday and Monday
I hope that's enough time because we leave Tuesday night.
Toronto Fan Expo was so much fun, only problem was I didn't get a lot of sleep. Maybe 2 hours each night. I have a feeling it's going to be the same for this con. It will be worth it though!
This will be my second time ever working at a convention! It's really exciting to welcome new opportunities into my life, I have butterflies
Anyways, I'm going to head to bed now
Thanks for reading

FORT MEADE, Md. — Army Pfc. Bradley Manning stood at attention in his crisp dress uniform Wednesday and learned the price he will pay for spilling an unprecedented trove of government secrets: up to 35 years in prison, the stiffest punishment ever handed out in the U.S. for leaking to the media.
Flanked by his lawyers, Manning, 25, showed no reaction as military judge Col. Denise Lind announced the sentence without explanation in a proceeding that lasted just a few minutes.
A gasp could be heard among the spectators, and one woman buried her face in her hands. Then, as guards hurried Manning out of the courtroom, about a half-dozen supporters shouted from the back: "We'll keep fighting for you, Bradley!" and "You're our hero!"
With good behavior and credit for the more than three years he has been held, Manning could be out in as little as seven years, said his lawyer, David Coombs. The soldier was also demoted and will be dishonorably discharged.
The sentencing fired up the long-running debate over whether Manning was a whistleblower or a traitor for giving more than 700,000 classified military and diplomatic documents, plus battlefield footage, to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. By volume alone, it was the biggest leak of classified material in U.S. history, bigger even than the Pentagon Papers a generation ago.
In a statement from London, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange decried Manning's trial and conviction as "an affront to basic concepts of Western justice." But he called the sentence a "significant tactical victory" because the soldier could be paroled so quickly.
Manning could have gotten 90 years behind bars. Prosecutors asked for at least 60 as a warning to other soldiers, while Manning's lawyer suggested he get no more than 25, because some of the documents he leaked will be declassified by then.
Military prosecutors had no immediate comment on the sentence, and the White House said only that any request for a presidential pardon would be considered "like any other application."
The case was part of an unprecedented string of prosecutions brought by the U.S. government in a crackdown on security breaches. The Obama administration has charged seven people with leaking to the media; only three people were prosecuted under all previous presidents combined.
Manning, an Army intelligence analyst from Crescent, Okla., digitally copied and released Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield reports and State Department cables while working in 2010 in Iraq. He also leaked video of a 2007 Apache helicopter attack in Baghdad that mistakenly killed at least nine people, including a Reuters photographer.
Manning said he did it to expose the U.S. military's "bloodlust" and generate debate over the wars and U.S. policy.
He was found guilty by the judge last month of 20 crimes, including six violations of the Espionage Act, but was acquitted of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy, which carried a potential life in prison without parole.
Whistleblower advocates said the punishment was unprecedented in its severity. Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists said "no other leak case comes close."
The American Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International and other activists condemned the sentence.
"When a soldier who shared information with the press and public is punished far more harshly than others who tortured prisoners and killed civilians, something is seriously wrong with our justice system," said Ben Wizner, head of the ACLU's speech and technology project.
Gabriel Schoenfeld, a senior fellow at the conservative Hudson Institute think tank and author of the book "Necessary Secrets," welcomed Manning's punishment.
"The sentence is a tragedy for Bradley Manning, but it is one he brought upon himself," he said. "It will certainly serve to bolster deterrence against other potential leakers."
But he also warned that the sentence will ensure that Edward Snowden — the National Security Agency leaker who was charged with espionage in a potentially more explosive case while Manning's court-martial was underway — "will do his best never to return to the United States and face a trial and stiff sentence."
Coombs said that he was in tears after the sentencing and that Manning comforted him by saying: "Don't worry about it. It's all right. I know you did your best. ... I'm going to be OK. I'm going to get through this."
Coombs said Manning will seek a presidential pardon or a commuted sentence.
"The time to end Brad's suffering is now," the defense attorney said. "The time for our president to focus on protecting whistleblowers instead of punishing them is now."
Coombs read from a letter Manning will send to the president in which he said: "I regret if my actions hurt anyone or harmed the United States. It was never my intent to hurt anyone. ... When I chose to disclose classified information, I did so out of a love for my country and a sense of duty to others."

We didn't use the Ac due to anxiety but made it home with 4 miles to spare. I know part of the issue is I only have 9 cells left. Anyone else have a hard time driving up the mountain on less than full charge? I want to give the car a chance and just get good at hypermiling but unless I can get a new battery from Nissan (I'm still under warranty) than this problem may only get worse. Any suggestions?

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 18, 2012
The first question that comes to mind is what makes SOIE Shop different from all the online fashion retailers that jostle each other for customers' attention in the internet market. The answer is SOIE Shop doesn't really need to differentiate itself from other online retailers because it knows what its own target market wants. And its fashion wares are sure to attract the kind of woman it has set its sight on.
Which brings us to the next question, what kind of women would wear fashion products from SOIE Shop? They are self-assured enough not to jump on any trendy bandwagon, aware enough to know what looks good on them, and creative enough to appreciate the attention to details and unique embellishments that is inherent in each fashion piece from SOIE Shop.
That said, SOIE Shop's fashion merchandise will also be well-suited to fashion editorials that target the more discriminating woman on a budget. And descriptions of what to expect from SOIE Shop products are proof of this. SOIE Shop invites fashion editors and fashion bloggers to provide honest product reviews. SOIE Shop will supply free product to fashion bloggers and fashion editors so they can see for themselves and share the experience. Please contact http://www.soieshop.com/contact for more details.
Silhouettes are a balance of sophisticated and sexy. In keeping with the wise fashion dictum which states that "true sexiness means keeping a certain mystique alive especially in fashion," styles can be sensuous but not blatantly so. The SOIE Shop woman is one who practices discretion and picks her outfits according to the occasion. This way, she is never ill-dressed, overdressed or even underdressed for any event.
SOIE Shop offers an array of sexy cocktail mini dresses that are subtly figure conscious and perfect for those who want to show off shapely legs but still retain an air of elegance. There are sequined party dresses in stunning combinations of gold and black, and silver and black, that will appeal to the woman who wants to make a youthful yet sophisticated turn.
Embellished collars, de rigueur for fall fashion 2012, make any solid-colored outfit pop with style. One example would be a columnar cocktail mini dress in stark black, bare-shouldered yet sporting an actual collar studded with silver hardware. These unique embellished collars are a way of adding some gleam and impact to an outfit without overdoing it.
Maxi dresses are still on SOIE Shop's fashion line-up but with less of a bohemian vibe. The maxi look a la SOIE assumes a more elegant demeanor with its tube style, bold black and white zigzag print, and the waist accented by a solid-colored sash. The maxi, itself, is loose and breezy and at a proper length so there is less of a chance that the hem will be stepped on in haste. This also means that SOIE Shop spares no expense to keep each piece of fashion comfortable.
Day dresses are also on trend this fall so SOIE Shop has come up with day dresses in striking solid colors for those who want to brighten up the deepening fall light. In fact, royal blue seems to be THE color to be seen in this fall. What SOIE Shop has done for the SOIE lady is offer a high-low day dress in royal blue with a hint of lace near the hem allowing glimpses of shapely calves.
There is MORE in store for every fashionable lady when they drop by SOIE Shop! Fashion treasures are just a click away for the SOIE lady.
