Has a very soothing herbal scent, vintage package and design, and the texture is cream instead of balm,which is very suitable to use before matte/velvet lipsticks, does not change the texture of your lipstick. The product itself is very soothing and hydrating, not oily at all. I would recommend it to my friends who are looking for a lip care product hydrating enough but leaves no glossy finish.

Apply it before lip blam, makes your lip soft.

The rosehip seed lip cream is light and absorbed fast. Unlike any lip balm, it doesn't give you the shinny look and it is absolutely non greasy. The smell is pleasant too.

The product itself is lovely it smells nice and really moisturises lips. Only bad point is the tube as soon as the lid is taken off the cream comes out really quickly and won't stop until the lid is put on and at times the cream goes everywhere resulting in a lot of wasted cream as you only need a tiny bit!
Fri Jul 20 15:42:41 BST 2012 by
I love their products but the lip cream for me is too thin. The smell is ok but the consistency is like a thin cream and I prefer a thicker consistency.
Thu May 17 09:51:07 BST 2012 by
Dosent really have a masculine scent and smells like perfume for the older lady. It is a cream which unfortunatly in this weather of snow wind and rain just does not do anything to stop your lips getting chapped. However i cant imagine it giving any uv protection in the sun either. Overall very poor unfortunately however does make lips a bit softer if left on over night.

This week, I witnessed something very cool -> Virtual Field Trips Powered By Microsoft Canada. I went to the Toronto Zoo and watched students from B.C. get a real time behind-the-scenes tour of the zoo's Great Lakes Program. This takes classroom learning to a digital level…
Virtual Field Trips Powered By Microsoft Canada
To celebrate Canada's 150th birthday, Microsoft Canada is partnering with heritage sites and points of interest including the Toronto Zoo to give Canadian students (grades K-12) the opportunity to learn more about their country – without leaving their classroom – via Skype virtual field trips. As part of the Explore Teach Build program this takes learning beyond the classroom; visiting national heritage sites and engaging with site tour guide's in real-time through Skype Virtual Field Trips.
Pictured above: Janet Kennedy (President of Microsoft Canada) and Robin Hale (Chief Operating Officer at the Toronto Zoo) at the virtual visit.
Imagine a connecting Canadian sites with Canadians students – despite more than 4,000 kilometers of geographical distance between them.
The virtual field trip was easy, engaging, and educational. The students sat quietly while material was presented. They then had the opportunity to ask questions and get answers in real time. It was a live learning adventure.
I find my kids (like all kids these days) very in tune with digital education and learning beyond the classroom. The modern student is well versed in smart boards and the internet. They connect differently with digital learning than with black board learning (not to say black board learning is obsolete. It is still very much needed in today's classrooms. But there is room for more than one tool for presenting educational opportunities. And educators are harnessing all the things to engage students today).
It's interesting to see the Microsoft Canada tools we use in everyday, adult, work environments have a place in the classroom. Skype is a very dynamic tool. Celebrating Canada's 150th anniversary of Confederation is the perfect platform to harness the power of Skype and connect classes with favourite Canadian heritage sites and/or moments in Canadian history.
Related: students can work independently or in teams to build their favourite historical sites in Minecraft: Education Edition -> free trial available.
Imagine how technology can take students places where school buses can't…

Diesel and his model girlfriend Paloma Jiménez, 31 announced the birth of their third baby, a sister to Hania, 7, and Vincent, 4 on March 16 but at first the couple kept the baby's name under wraps. Walker was killed in a car crash in 2013 aged 40 but his advice to Vin on childbirth celery stuck. "Paul [told] me to go into the delivery room and own it and be present and don't shy away from it and cut the umbilical cord," Diesel 47, told the Associated Press. Sharing a sweet selfie with the newborn, Vin added some of the lyrics from Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World. "I hear babies crying, I watch them grow. They'll learn much more, Than I'll ever know. And I think to myself, What a wonderful world..." the newly sentimental actor commented. The name and gender of the newborn aren't known yet, but the couple are already parents to 6-year-old daughter, Hania Riley, and son Vincent Sinclair, 4.

Take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. Enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.
Our mission is to be a leading global production house and be recognized as a sustainable solution to all production needs which are delivered through the medium of excellence. Our goal is to develop longstanding relationships and maintain the highest quality of services and integrity through understanding and respecting our customers' needs. We will produce higher consciousness through visionary programs and multimedia projects by having some of the world's most creative artists working on our teams.
The "Tandi" brand was launched with Tandi Productions Enterprises, LLC in 1992 by the founder and CEO of Tandi companies, Tanya M. Dixon. For 6 years she would produce and direct (and often host) the talk/magazine show "Reel Life" and the video/magazine shows "The Mix" and "Sounds of Soul" which earned her 9 awards and various accolades. In 1998 Dixon's move to Atlanta, Georgia began the next phase for Tandi Productions as the shows "Reel Life" and "Sounds of Soul" aired on the Warner Bros. Network (WATL). By the year 2000, Tandi Productions began its services division to provide video/film and multimedia services. Dixon began directing commercials for clients such as the football team Georgia Rage.
By 2003, Tandi Productions' reputation for quality video/film projects grew alongside her repertoire due to opportunities to provide video/film services for various record labels, clubs and organizations. Some of her clients would include the national radio programmer's magazine Black Radio Exclusive (BRE), Clear Channel, and National Narrowcasting Network (N3) as the official content provider. Dixon also continued to produce the "Sounds of Soul" show which aired on the Fox Network, yielding impressive ratings in the Macon, Georgia area against other shows in its timeslot (including Mad TV) and was second only to Saturday Night Live. The spring of 2006 marked the release of Dixon's second Tandi company, Tandimonium Films, with the documentary film, "The Beginning" (in association with Dollyhood Records). The film features Sonny Spoon, Young Jeezy, and Field Mob, chronicles "the rise, fall, and the resurrection" of the independent, southern label Dollyhood Records. Other film projects would follow such as the short film "Thin Line" focusing on mental health disorders.
Today Tandi companies continue to produce and direct many film, video and television projects. With plans to launch the major entertainment land development called Tandiland, the Tandi brand has evolved into Tandi Enterprises Holding. As the parent company for Tandi Productions and Tandimonium Films, Tandi Enterprises Holding will continue to be a company rooted in experience and dedicated to quality imagery in both film and broadcast quality video.

All else being equal, the return you'll earn on any investment comes down to two main things: the length of time you hold it and the price you pay. Of course, every Fool knows that when it comes to investing, all else is never equal. Nonetheless, those two points are well worth bearing in mind as you go about the business of stock shopping for fun and profit.
They're particularly true, I'd argue, when it comes to the question of price.
Why so?
Most of us, after all, at least intend to be buy-to-hold types when we stake out a position in a stock we like. Alas, our "like" sometimes kindles into a full-blown romance, and we fall in love with a stock's "story" and let emotion cloud our judgment when it comes to assessing valuations and growth prospects.
Google is a classic example. Don't get me wrong: I love it, too, and I use the search service a gazillion times a day. I also love the bells and whistles it rolls out on a constant basis.
Still, fan though I am, I can't bring myself to buy the stock at its current valuation (for starters, I don't think its declining growth justifies a P/E ratio over 40).
Why not?
When it comes to investing in individual stocks, it just makes sense that companies trading well below their "intrinsic value" are extremely attractive. Beyond that, I like fellow Fool Philip Durell's philosophy of finding firms with lengthy track records at generating plenty of free cash flow (FCF). This methodology has generated market-beating returns for his Inside Value newsletter.
On that front, Google's FCF track record is too short -- particularly when the market boasts the likes of IBM
Perhaps those names don't have quite as much "sex appeal" as Google. But if that's the profile you're after, you could always consider tech-sector offerings such as Hewlett-Packard
Digging deeper
To be sure, just because a company makes it through a set of quantitative screens doesn't mean it's a slam-dunk investment. There's more to ferreting out value than just number-crunching, after all. That's why I'm a big fan of Philip's newsletter service.
Each month, he whittles down the investment universe to just those companies that meet his stringent quantitative requirements and measure up when it comes to more qualitative factors (such as managerial acumen and a laser-like focus on creating value for shareholders) as well.
If that sounds like a compelling strategic two-step, I encourage you to take Inside Value for a 30-day test-drive. The free trial won't cost you a thing, and you'll have access to every one of his recommendations, as well as his top five stocks to buy now. Here's more information.

Walt Whitman
Native Moments - Poem by Walt Whitman
NATIVE moments! when you come upon me--Ah you are here now! Give me now
libidinous joys only! Give me the drench of my passions! Give me life
coarse and rank! To-day, I go consort with nature's darlings--to-night too;
I am for those who believe in loose delights--I share the midnight orgies
of young men; I dance with the dancers, and drink with the drinkers; The
echoes ring with our indecent calls; I take for my love some prostitute--I
pick out some low person for my dearest friend, He shall be lawless, rude,
illiterate--he shall be one condemn'd by others for deeds done; I will play
a part no longer--Why should I exile myself from my companions? 10 O you
shunn'd persons! I at least do not shun you, I come forthwith in your
midst--I will be your poet, I will be more to you than to any of the rest.
Comments about Native Moments by Walt Whitman
Joyce Milli (11/6/2005 12:16:00 AM)
God! How I love Whitman! ! ! He made himself a poet for and of the common man. I have always envisioned Whitman as this very noble, dignified, yet exuberant, sort of man that clearly loved America, the joy of adventure, and had such a lust for Life w/out Hemingway's overly masculine tone. This is a great poem to me because he has also displayed his passion to be the voice of the kind of people, that in his day and age, had no such respect.
Thanks for letting me share, Joyce (Report) Reply

What are you doing this April? Perhaps you'll wallow in a sofa, inhale the rest of your past-best easter eggs and talk about the weather. Sounds fun. Except you could be doing this.
Here at Adventurist towers, we've always had a bit of a soft spot for April. Too often overshadowed by her siblings probably because it's really bloody hot.
Sorry April, we're blowing your cover. It's time to talk about the middle-child. Not as obviously good looking as first born January, full of parties and pretty piss-easy roads. Baby August insists on being a little bit longer and likes to throw stormy tantrums.
Meanwhile, the April Run is the Spicy One. She pootles along in the hottest and most slimy season, along some of the roughest roads in some fairly ropey corners. To do the Rickshaw Run in April - that takes some swollen bally bits.
In April, you'll run from sandstorms in a desert at one end and visit the wettest place on earth at the other. Our April runners have hit Jaipur, Jodhpur, the Taj, Lucknow, Bodgaya, Varanasi, Nepal, and Darjeeling. Our teams have also gotten lost in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere. You might even break down there. Try not to punch yourself in the nose.
If India is an overweight goddess of plenty, in April you get to loop your arm around her waist and she'll take you out dancing. Every driven at night in Bihar? You can in April. Ever raced a toy train up a mountain? You can do that too. Been chased by bandits? Only if you're really lucky.
You are welcome, anonymous feedbackers.
Still unconvinced? These are the highlights from the 2015 April Run:
What are you doing with your April? You should probably do this.

CUC's Statement on Hedging
The Electricity Regulatory Authority (whose Board was appointed by the Government in June 2009) requested CUC to hedge its fuel prices. In response to that request CUC proposed a simple hedge of 40% of its fuel volume consisting of call options which in return for a fixed premium added to fuel costs would cap the fuel costs at a pre-determined level. This proposal was approved by the ERA in March 2011.
Pursuant to such approval, CUC purchased call options to cap the cost of fuel purchased on the US Gulf Coast at US$3.55 per gallon. In September 2008 the price of diesel purchased in the US reached over US$3.79 per gallon before falling to under US$1.50 per gallon in late 2009. Since late 2010 the price has risen to a recent peak of approximately US$3.00 per gallon, which remains below the price cap.
The premium for this price cap is CI $1.7 million dollars per annum which currently represents CI 0.35 cents (less than half a cent) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the total annual generation of electricity. Prior to September 2009, the effective rate of duty on fuel was CI 30 cents per Imperial Gallon (IG) taking into account the then existing duty rebate programme. In September 2009, the present Government abandoned the rebate programme which restored the rate of duty to CI 50 cents per IG. In June 2010 the rate of duty was further increased by another CI 25 cents for a total of CI 75 cents per IG or an overall increase in the rate of duty of 150% from the pre- September 2009 level.
The net effect of this increase is an additional sum of CI$ 2.65 cents per kWh or CI$14.4 million dollars per year for Government duty as compared to the one time premium of CI$1.7 million for hedging. The present one-year hedge will expire in March of 2012 and no further premium will be payable as a cost to consumers unless a new hedge is requested by the ERA.
CUC estimates that duty of CI$24 million will be collected by the Government in 2011 on the fuel it uses to generate electricity.

The second reading of a lengthy nuisance ordinance that would have targeted properties with out of control weeds, dilapidated buildings and excessive noise was tabled by the Dry Ridge City Council.
"When we got this nobody realized it was going to be 19 pages," said Mayor Clay Crupper. "I read the whole thing twice. According to this, you couldn't even burn wood because the smoke would bother somebody. If you're working on a car, you couldn't do it because the noise would be real loud. This has created a monster for us."
While the Grant County boys' basketball team may have been down against Ludlow, they were never out.
Relying on two seniors and a sophomore, the Braves earned a 61-59 victory, despite being down for most of the second half.
Seniors Kody Thompson and Cody Kinman got Grant County back into the game with timely three pointers that silenced the Ludlow crowd and rejuvenated their team. But the final shot belonged to sophomore Justin Loomis who sent the Panthers home with a loss and put the Braves at 2-0 on the season.
Williamstown Independent Schools soon will be looking for a new superintendent.

In a letter dated Nov. 10 to Williamstown School Board members, Wilson gave his written notice that he will be resigning from his position effective July 1, 2009, giving the board eight months to recruit and select a replacement.
Wilson's wife, Rose, also will be retiring as a teacher at Dry Ridge Elementary.
With the chance to earn a trip to Orlando for the Americheer National Competition, the Grant County High School varsity cheerleaders had hoped to come out hot, but instead came out cold during their warm-ups.
As they went through their routine, they were disappointed with their performance, which they believed was not as crisp and enthusiastic as it needed to be.
After a talk with their coach, the girls came out for their real performance and earned an 80 percent, 10 percent better than they had to score to earn their trip to the national competition.

The Grant County girls' basketball team knew they were in for a challenge when they took on district favorite Simon Kenton. Early in the game, they battled to stay close, but couldn't stop the Pioneers, as they lost 70-39.
"They are good," coach Darrell Guffey said. "They shot the ball really well and they have five seniors that play a lot. They have a lot more experience than us and that showed. We've got to get better. We've got to continue coming into practice and working hard."

I am currently preparing my jobhunting in Israel and Turkey and have contacts in both countries now that may result in an offer.
In Turkey the one where I have gotten concrete interest from, is in Istanbul.
I know the city is really huge, so it may be difficult to orientate there.
Just in case the right offer would be the Turkish one... Can anyone tell me which are the nicest places to live?
I would love to be either close to the city center or close to the sea (but 'close' is a relative term) and if possible a place where a mixture of western and Middle-Eastern/Turkish elements occurs (a place where western people are fully integrated and common, but also without lacking authentic Turkish atmosphere).
I first thought of the Besiktas or Taksim areas, but they may be on the expensive side? Which areas of the city are recommandable for living?

Pocono Mountain School District owes a landowner $1.5 million above what it paid for a lot it seized through eminent domain for a new elementary school, according to a ruling Friday by the county's Board of View.
Pocono Mountain School District owes a landowner $1.5 million above what it paid for a lot it seized through eminent domain for a new elementary school, according to a ruling Friday by the county's Board of View.
In May 2005, according to court documents, the school district seized 43 acres of land on Bowman Road in Paradise Township, which abuts Mount Airy Casino Resort.
Pocono Mountain originally paid $470,000 to the owner, Jan Stefanowicz, a retired linguist at the University of Pennsylvania who lives in Philadelphia.
He said he bought the property for $326,000 at auction. "I was going to retire there. I was not intending to sell whatsoever," Stefanowicz said. "That was my American dream."
The district's purchase of the land cleared the way for the district's new Swiftwater Elementary Center, which will open for the 2008-09 school year.
But the county Board of View, a three-person board that arbitrates such disputes, has since determined the fair market value to be $2 million.
"This is one of those cases that is unique," said Edwin Krawitz, who is Stefanowicz's lawyer. "I don't think anywhere in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania there are 43 acres right next to a casino and golf course."
The county's Board of View is composed of Janet Marsh Catina, an attorney, Joyce Stoddard, the former court administrator for Monroe County, and Malcolm Law, who is also listed as chairman of the zoning hearing board for Middle Smithfield Township.
Stefanowicz's engineers and appraisers estimated the fair market value of the land, as a mix of single-family homes and townhouses, at more than $4 million.
The district's appraiser put it at $360,000.
The board held hearings and visited the property before determining its fair market value to be $2 million. It ruled that the district would owe Stefanowicz the remaining $1.5 million, factoring in what it had already paid him.
It is not clear yet whether the district or Stefanowicz will appeal the decision. If so, the case could move to the Court of Common Pleas for a jury trial.
The district declined to comment on the matter, saying it cannot discuss current litigation.
This is also not the first time a dispute over the property has arisen.
Preservationists and descendants of the Bowman family, which owned the property before it was sold to Stefanowicz, failed in their 2006 bid to block the district from razing the historic farm buildings there.
But the district's engineer estimated that preserving the building would cost $500,000, making restoration too expensive.

If you were injured in a bicycle accident in Florida, you can hold someone else responsible for your injuries if you can prove they had a legal duty to exercise reasonable care for your wellbeing and failed to do so.
What Happens if a Bicyclist or Pedestrian is Hit by a Car?
The driver can face fines, points off their license, and even harsher punishment if they violate the law and cause serious injury or even death.
Pedestrians may be able to claim medical benefits from their car insurance company if they own a car or if someone they live with owns a car. Personal injury protection (PIP) can provide medical payments to the insured if they were injured by a car while driving, walking, or riding a bicycle.
What if I Wasn't Wearing a Helmet?
First of all, you need to know: if you are over 16 years old you are not required to wear a helmet in Florida. Failure to wear a helmet will not hinder your compensation but may affect the amount you receive. It is wise to take every precaution in your case and any act that could be perceived as negligent should be avoided.
What if it Was a Hit-and-Run?
If you were hit by a car and the driver fled the scene after the collision, there are four things you should do in order to ensure you receive compensation for your injuries.
1) File a Police Report as Soon as Possible
It may seem hopeless to contact the police once the driver has fled, however, the police have many resources they can use to find the offender. Even if the driver cannot be located, insurance companies will likely require a documented police report in order for you to be compensated.
2) Get Medical Help Immediately
Nothing is more important than your personal health, and ignoring injuries can actually hurt your case. While getting back on your bicycle in spite of painful injuries may actually be an act of mental toughness, insurance adjusters will not view it as such, saying, "If you were so badly injured, why didn't you see a doctor?"
3) Locate Witnesses
Get the contact information of any that may have witnessed the accident or pulled over to help after the driver fled. It may help you find compensation.
4) Inform Your Auto and Health Insurance Companies
In some cases, your only chance of receiving compensation may be filing a claim against your car insurance policy. In order to insure you receive justice, take all necessary precautions and file a claim.
Call 407.648.4940 or click to contact Coye Law Firm today for a free consultation about your case.

More Than Church Members: A Church Family
The day I graduated from high school, 3 months before aging out of foster care and beginning college, I came to a place of understanding just how loved I am. I remember sitting in the middle of the events center, surrounded by a sea of classmates and walls of their families surrounding us on our big day. It was a day most of us looked forward to because it meant we were finally done!
For me, I could barely keep my eyes off the rather large section of people who were there to see me walk across that stage. I don't know if I've ever smiled so hard. If I remember right, about 20 people that I call family filled two rows of seats to see me cross the finish line and graduate. I go back to that day on hard days, thanking all of them in my heart all over again and smiling about the fact that I didn't ever have a moment of that day that I had to celebrate alone. My time in care also had been much like that.
When I entered care, I had people from my church I could call family. I knew I had experienced out-of-home care much differently than most other youth when, at age 19, I could look back at my life and see that the people in my life looked exactly the same as when I entered care. I hadn't had to age out and find myself wondering where to step next. I'm a part of a family that goes through life together.
While I was in care I continued attending the same church, as always, and to this day I'm a member. But it's funny to even call myself a member because, honestly, it's more like being in a family. I can say that youth transitioning out of care need stable relationships while they are in care that stick around when they are out of care. Now that I'm out of care, I grow each and every day with my family right there, cheering me on, watching me cross finish lines every day.
Today I'm an Emergency Medical Technician, daughter, sister, and friend. I couldn't have done any of it alone, and I'm thankful I didn't have to. Make sure the youth you know don't either—you'll help change lives.

This was my first attempt at making a few picture frames.
My very first frame (the one with the photo in it) is Peruvian Walnut with a curly Maple inlay. It has some flaws, but I like it and learned a lot from it and it's now displayed proudly on our living room wall.
The other two are Mother's Day gifts for my mother and my mother-in-law. The first is Walnut with a curly Maple inlay and the other is Oak with a Peruvian Walnut inlay.
The Oak was local from a tree that fell over on my uncle's farm. (That's just the coolest thing to me.)
I had a lot of fun with these and learned quite a bit.

Very nice frames. I haven't made any yet, but yours are outstanding. I'm assuming the types of wood used in this one are curly maple and cherry?

Nice frames, getting the 45's right is half the battle. Nice job!

Funny how making the perfect miters can be so challenging. Well done. I just made a new 45* miter sled that has made it so much easier. Enjoy.

I agree the wood you get from your own tree is something special! Nice work!

The walnut and maple frame is amazing. I don't care what picture you put in it, all my eye is drawn to is the frame.
Have your say...

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. – The Newfoundland and Labrador Basketball Association (NLBA) will soon have a new executive director for the first time in nearly three decades.
Judy Byrne was recently named to the role and will replace Bill Murphy after he retires in December.
Byrne has served as the technical director for the provincial association for the past nine years.
The Placentia native was a standout at Memorial University varsity women's program in the early 1990s before moving to the United States after her education, returning to the province in 2007.
In a release, NLBA president Tom Warren said Byrne is very familiar with the organization's goals and objectives.
"Judy will make a perfect executive director as she has been groomed for this position over the last few years," he said.
Murphy has been the NLBA's executive director for the past 29 years.

Knowing the ins and outs of one's city should include knowing how it keeps clean much like the knowledge offered by the 'Secret Life of Garbage' infographic.
This flow chart shows how waste travels right from when it leaves the litterer's hand and falls into the waste basket. This chart tracks the path of garbage from the truck to the transfer station and all the way to landfills, waste-to-energy plants, recycling centers, compost, manufacturers and right back into stores.
The flow chart makes it easy to understand how garbage filtration works in municipalities and under it are some staggering facts. For example, each year an insane 250 million tons of trash is created and Americans throw away enough aluminum in a year for the car manufacturing sector to produce vehicles for an entire year. This infographic may seem gross to think about but it provides some fresh food for thought.

Poor Benedict Cumberbatch. He can't mess up the word 'penguin' without crashing the Internet. When Cumberbatch, with possibly the most charmingly quirky name in the world, decided to try other names, the effect was immediate and devastating to his legions of female fans.
The Oscar-nominated actor of 'Imitation Game' was on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night, when he was challenged by the host to try out some new names. Pretending to introduce himself at a dimly lit bar, Cumberbatch sportingly tried out the most hilarious generic and celebrity names keeping a perfectly straight face.
He tried Queen Latifah, Hamburgler, Al Roker, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Chad, George Costanza, 2 Chainz, Inigo Montoya among others.
But one name stood out for his Indian fans. Cumberbatch rolls off 'Sanjay Gupta' so smoothly off his tongue that Indians would definitely want him to keep it.
Gupta, an Indian American physician and TV presenter, was ranked among Forbes' 10 'Most Influential Celebrities'.

Frederick's of Hollywood
Frederick's of Hollywood: Naughty or Nice?
Frederick Mellinger was a groundbreaking innovator of women's undergarments, but his innovation may have caught up with the company, as it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June 2001, having went too far out of the mainstream to remain profitable.
After changing some things around and catering to the more normal woman, Frederick's of Hollywood has started to turn things around, and is again becoming a market leader. As far as a brand goes, they still are one of the more recognizable in the world.
There's no question about it, Frederick's started appealing to the more basic instincts of women, and in the beginning the novelty of naughty was a hit. But after the years, sleazy dropped in popularity, and so the company is now changing its product and image in response to that reality.
So now when you look through a Fredericks of Hollywood catalog, you'll find more of what the average woman wants than those that have went extreme.
Now it's even safe to have a Fredericks catalog around the house; well, almost safe!
Frederick's of Hollywood Catwalk
Frederick's and Hollywood
In the beginning, Mellinger knew he could take advantage of the inclusion of Hollywood in the name of the company, and so targeted the glamorous actresses to get great publicity in the golden age of television.
Women, who at the time were enthralled with Hollywood actresses and looked to them for style ideas and readily copied them, did just that, and considering themselves a projection of Hollywood glamor and style bought up Fredricks lingerie readily.
In our day this backfired because a number of actresses through caution to the wind and got so extreme in behavior and some of their clothing, that the normal and average woman couldn't and don't relate to them, thus the need to change their strategy if they wanted to survive.
Frederick's full figure bra
Frederick's of Hollywood a little more conservative now
Now that a large base of more conservative have emerged in America, Fredericks clothing has had to tame itself down some if it wanted to survive as a company, and it's done that.
They've also had to respond to the increasing number of large-sized women, who don't respond or pay attention to the Hollywood size of things, and so want comfort and something that helps them look good, rather than sleazy and naughty.
Of course that bring Frederick's into more direct competition with Victoria's Secret, and so have to manage things much better if they want to remain profitable.

Frederick's the Innovator
One thing Fredericks of Hollywood will have to be careful of is always referring to their past innovation, which www fredricks com likes to do, or I should say www fredericksofhollywood likes to do.
Whenever the past is mentioned by a company over and over again, there's a hint that they're struggling in the present, and need to continue to innovate and lead in response to the times we live in, not the times that we used to live in.
Nobody is going to buy from you because you were an innovator and market leader in the past, they're going to buy from you because you give them what they want today. Fredricks of Hollywood will have to regain that if they want to surpass their past days of lingerie glory.
Cute undergarments from Fredricks of Hollywood
Frederick's opened doors for women
Even so, Frederick's did bring lingerie out into the open, and made women, after a period of time, comfortable with thinking about it, trying new things, and enjoying the look that was exciting and fun for them at the time.
Many others have followed in their footsteps, but their a little more tamer offerings appealed more to the masses, and so Frederick's has had to play catchup while watching some of their foundation being stolen by competitors who understood that a little naughty is fun, but too much naughty gravitates toward slutty, and the average woman doesn't like to think of herself that way, so Frederick's has to be careful not to rely too much on its past, while reminding people they have made some innovative products that did more than just make women feel sexy - or in some cases - too sleazy.

Frederick's Today
So whether they liked it or not, changing American women and lifestyles has forced Fredericks of Hollywood to change their original focus or they wouldn't survive.
They've been working on doing that, and now the days of overt sexuality and naughty have been abandoned for more comfortable and practical clothing that women of today are looking for.

Web Hosting
Web Hosting Service
5 Tips to Choosing a Web Hosting Service
There are numerous web hosting companies out there. If you are a business owner, you need to choose one that is right for your company. To ensure that your hosting services is adequate for your business needs and doesn't create unnecessary obstacles to your website's success, make sure that you do your research first. Here are some of the five most important tips to choose the web hosting service provider that is right for you.
Identify Your Needs
Understanding the requirements of your business can help narrow your
web hosting
choices. If you want a website that features video blogging, 24-hour live streaming, and other relevant features, your website is going to require a lot more compared to someone who only uses a website as a virtual resume. Websites that get high amounts daily traffic will is most likely not ideal for a shared server because these servers are meant to accommodate smaller websites that have minimal demands.
How frequently will your site be unavailable? Reliability or uptime is very important and something that you should take some time to think about before making your choice. For business websites, this is even more crucial. Make sure that you determine the actual uptime percentage for the entire provider as well as the particular server where your website will be on. All web hosts should have this historical information available. You should also find out how scheduled outages are managed.
When you look at the prices, it's helpful to keep in mind the old adage that you get what you pay for. Choosing the cheapest offer you see definitely is not the best idea, especially if you depend on your site to make money. Things such as non-outsourced support and quality hardware entail money, and a
hosting company that charges $1.99 every month most likely won't provide these features.
Excellent Customer Support
Look for a provider that provides reliable customer support. Hosting providers may claim they offer 24-7 support, but this does not ensure that you will get fast and skilled service. Test the response of the customer support center before deciding on a long term hosting contract.
Level of Security
Although all sites should be secure to a minimum level, some types of sites demand more attention to security than others. For instance, if you will be processing credit card payments through your site, or if you'll be storing personal information like the emails and passwords of your visitors, make sure that you host provides features to ensure this is all done safely.

I have been using vivaldi for a couple of months now, I simply love it. The browser is easily customisable. What I dislike is the slow startup time and in fact there are no syncronizations in the options, especially with the bookmarks. I have two computers, one for school and one for gaming/work at home. This creates a problem for me, and maybe soem tohers because I am loading up the bookmarks file from the vivaldi appdata onto my google drive and transfering it on my computer at home. This is to synchronize my bookmarks, but in browsers like opera and chrome the bookmarks and settings get synchronized. I would love for this to happen in vivaldi. Do it like chrome and incorporate the vivaldi account into the browser. Maybe people have said something like this before, but I wanted to bring this up for other users and the vivaldi developers.

Perhaps consider searching the forum for one of the other many preexisting threads discussing synchronisation for Vivaldi before starting yet another one.
Vivaldi could, of course, introduce a "user account" linked to the browser tomorrow. In fact you are commenting from a User Account right now. XMarks/LastPass also has a User Account that is "incorporated" into your browser, in that it can go into your browser files and update your bookmarks, passwords, etc. by itself, without user intervention, once it's set up.
So that's nice and all, but is the account actually "incorporated" into the browser? Not really. The browser just gets your permission and credentials to log in to an account on a server. And where is your synced data stored, so that synchronization from one machine to another is possible? In server farms that cover acres and acres of land, is where. So really, all that Vivaldi needs is a sync protocol (which they are working on) and a server farm. If you wanted to donate the server farm, I'm sure they'd be happy to have it.

Small Data: Getting stuck on things or in things
My favourite figure of last week came from the London Fire Brigade, writes Anthony Reuben.
It tweeted: "Since 2001 we have helped 16 kids in #Bromley with their heads stuck in banisters. Take care this summer."
And the message was accompanied by the picture above. Those look to me (and the fire brigade press officer) like railings not banisters, but that's just pedantry.
It was released to promote a fire brigade press release encouraging parents to keep an eye on their children during the summer holidays.
Apparently, in the last year the LFB has to rescue 1,508 young people who were stuck on things or in things.
But what things are these children getting stuck on or in? Only a small proportion of them are banisters. Indeed, in the last five years it has received 165 calls that were classified as involving children being stuck in railings, banisters or gates.
What could the other things be? The LFB sent out this magnificent picture of a boy being released from a milk churn, but it's hard to imagine that that is a regular problem.
The LFB provides an extraordinary list of recent incidents, including a child with its head stuck in a potty, one with its arm stuck in a television speaker and one with its leg wedged in a statue in a Kensington car park.
A child in Brent got a toy train stuck on its finger, one got its foot stuck in a merry-go-round in a park in Dulwich and a 13-year-old had to be released from a baby swing in Havering.
Children display extraordinary creativity regarding the things they manage to get stuck in.
The press release links to lots of advice for the parents of young children, but it's all about fire safety and what to do if your child is "displaying firesetting tendencies". There's nothing about how to prevent your child getting stuck in stuff.
"Many of the incidents we get called out to could be avoided with a little bit of common sense," advises LFB Third Officer Dave Brown.

3D printing is often in the headlines, in fact the technology looks set to start an industrial revolution of its own. Yet the use of 3D printing is still limited within the bike industry, so when Charge bikes released a video showing the world's first 3D printed titanium frame component we knew it'd get people talking.
After collaborating with corporate research centre of EADS innovation works (The European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company) Charge used a process developed for the aerospace industry to produced a batch of intricate dropouts for use in the frameset of the Freezer Ti custom cross bike.
Watch below as Charge's Nick Larsen talks to Andy Hawkins from EADS about the process of 3D printing and its benefits over traditional fabrication methods.

McDonald's, the world's largest restaurant chain, said Monday global May sales were up a stronger-than-expected 7.7 percent at established restaurants, and its shares rose more than 4 percent.
Overseas sales drove the results and have been outpacing domestic results for some time at McDonald's , which has been heavily promoting its Dollar Menu during the current U.S. economic slowdown.
Same-store sales, a key gauge of retail health, rose 4.3 percent at U.S. McDonald's restaurants open at least 13 months.
The Oak Brook, Illinois-based hamburger chain said its new Southern Style Chicken biscuit breakfast sandwich helped boost domestic results.
Low-priced menu items, such as a $1 double cheeseburger, have been helping McDonald's weather the U.S. economic downturn by driving traffic and luring cash-strapped diners away from higher-priced sit-down restaurants.
UBS Investment Research analyst David Palmer said in a client note that he was looking for a 3 percent rise in U.S. May sales, while analysts' average call was for an increase of 1 percent.
"We believe this bodes very well for U.S. QSR," said Stifel Nicolaus analyst Steve West, referring to fast-food restaurants, also called "quick-service restaurants." Same-store sales rose 9.6 percent in Europe, led by strength in Britain, France and Russia, and 9.7 percent in the Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa division.
Palmer, who said McDonald's topped analysts' targets in all markets, said same-store sales continue to be very strong in Europe.
"It is notable that the UK continues to be the biggest growth driver in spite of that country's economy slowing the most out of (McDonald's) major markets in Europe," he said.
He said the results are being boosted by McDonald's value menus, its ongoing restaurant renovation program and new menu items.
Based on the May results, Palmer raised his second-quarter earnings forecast by 2 cents to 84 cents per share while West took his estimate up 6 cents to call for earnings of 86 cents per share.
Shares in McDonald's which reached $59.55 in early trading, were up 4 percent, or $2.26, at $59.21 at midday on the New York Stock Exchange.
