Bohemian glass (or crystal) is a decorative glass which has been made in Bohemia and Silesia since the 13th century. Archaeological excavations of glass manufacturing sites date such manufacture back to around 1250 in the Lusatian Mountains of Northern Bohemia and the most noteworthy sites include Skalice (Langenau), Kamenicky Senov (Steinschönau) and Novy Bor (Haida). Today both Novy Bor and Kamenicky Senov have glass museums with many items on display dating after about 1600.
Bohemia is particularly noted for its manufacture of glass in the high Baroque style between 1685 and 1750. In the 17th century, Caspar Lehmann, who was employed as gem cutter to Emperor Rudolf II in Prague, adapted the technique of gem engraving for use on glass with both copper and bronze wheels.
A beautiful pair of matching Bohemian glass plates formed from clear glass cased with white milk glass and bearing a central cut star pattern. Both plates are wonderfully decorated with gorgeous flowers and bear gilt floral patterns and gilt accenting throughout.
Bohemia, and more specifically the Kingdom of Bohemia, if normally used to refer to Czech territory including both Moravia and Czech Silesia. More accurately however Bohemia encompasses the western lands of today's Czech Republic, including its capital city of Prague, but does not extend to Moravia and Czech Silesia.
Today Bohemia is home to just over 60 percent of the Czech Republic's population of some 10 million people. Bohemia is bordered by Germany to its west, Poland to its north-east, Moravia to its east and Austria to its south.
Following the First World War Czechoslovakia was formed as a liberal democratic republic with Bohemia at its core and including Moravia, Austrian Silesia, Upper Hungary (modern day Slovakia) and Carpathian Ruthenia. This was however a less than successful alliance and considerable problems arose between the Czech majority and the minorities of native Germans and Hungarians.
In the uneasy days prior to the Second World War, Nazi Germany, France, Britain, and Italy signed an agreement in 1938 known as the Munich Agreement (or Munich Pact) which effectively handed the Sudetenland (areas along the Czech border inhabited largely by native Germans) to Nazi Germany. This was followed in 1939 with the annexation of the remnants of Bohemia and Moravia to Nazi Germany with the Slovak lands becoming a separate republic which was in effect a puppet state under the control of Nazi Germany. Throughout the years of the war Bohemia and Moravia (minus the previously ceded Sudatenland) became the German Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and any opposition to the German occupation was dealt with both swiftly and brutally with the execution of many Czech patriots.
Czechoslovakia was re-established following the Second World War and the majority of those Germans within its borders were forcibly removed from the country by the newly re-established Czechoslovak central government using the provisions of the Potsdam agreement. In 1946 the Communist Party won the elections and two years later ousted the remaining democrats in a coup d'état as a pre-cursor to establishing a pro-Soviet authoritarian state.
Czechoslovakia (know as the Czechoslovak Socialistic Republic after 1960) became a satellite of the Soviet Union, although moves were made by the Czechoslovak Communist Party to democratize itself until this was abruptly halted in 1968 by an invasion of 'brother' armies from the Warsaw Pact in what has become known as the "Prague Spring". In 1989 Pope John Paul II canonized Agnes of Bohemia as the first saint in a central European country and started what is now referred to as the "Velvet Revolution" leading to the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993 and the formation of the new Czech Republic.
Today Bohemia continues to exist and the 1992 Czech constitution makes reference to the citizens of the Czech Republic in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia and goes on to proclaim the continued existence of the Statehood of the Bohemian Crown.

To recover things explicitly...
...I'm NOT looking for a case that'll protect the contents, is airtight, or anything of the like. And Pelican cases are also nearly a full inch thick on all sides, so I'd end up gaining no volume versus the thin-walled blowmolded polyethylene case I'm using now.
My costuming gear doesn't need to be protected against shock, fall, or destructively abusive impact. I do that to it every time I wear it, by and large, be it just running around, ice-skating in it or power-sliding 20+ feet across a floor on my knees.
I'm trying to get more internal volume so I can reduce one costume from two cases to one, and pack more accessories with another to start; as much closer to the maximum allowed 8000+ cubic inches limit airlines allow before hitting oversize-baggage limits on airlines. Somewhat stylish, functional, and visually distinctive are giant bennies versus having Yet Another Of The Same Case As Everyone Else rolling down the conveyor belt.
And I explicitly said I DON'T want wood, FRP (fiber reinforced plastic, I.E. fiberglass/carbon fiber) or other "brittle" materials that have a failure-mode or wear-mode of splintering.
Outer Dimensions of the case
sum (raw length + width + depth,
UPS/USPS/FedEx girth + length) to less than 62. I'm opting for '20 inches cubed' as a nice, simple figure to work from, especially since a cube is the optimal set of sizes for maximizing volume of a rectangular prism. Might be 'outer wall thickness * 2' over that in each dimension easily, etc.
be under 25 lbs. 8000 cubic inches of my stuff weighs about 22lbs, so that'll give me a few pounds lee-way before the weight-cap for 'overweight baggage' of 50lbs. And yes, I realize this means the case will weigh more than the contents. Fabric, foam, faux-metal and faux-fur trim accents are low-density high-volume stuff.
Case should be thin-walled to maximize internal volume, as it does not need to protect the contents against impact, shock, or the like. The contents are safe against those.
Case needs to be sturdy enough to have about 250lbs set on it briefly, or about 100lbs set on it indefinitely. AKA loaded in a plane's cargo hold, and sat on as a chair briefly in the field in a pinch. The thin-walled blowmolded case I have now can handle this, so I don't believe this is unreasonable to expect from something likely made of 14-gauge aluminum or thicker.

SoftBank's Son to push forward grand strategy in 2014
MAI NEMOTO, Nikkei staff writer
SoftBank Chairman & CEO Masayoshi Son speaks at a press conference in Tokyo in September 2013. Last year was momentous for SoftBank, but 2014 might be even bigger.
TOKYO -- In Japan, dreams we have in the night after New Year's Day are our first dreams of the year. The first dream of Masayoshi Son, chairman and CEO of SoftBank, must have been a grand one, since his ideas are always on a global scale.
For Son, the year 2013 "became a major milestone for stepping out into the world." SoftBank made Sprint, the third-largest U.S. mobile carrier, a subsidiary at a cost of $21.6 billion, and purchased overseas companies worth about a hundred billion yen each. In late December, it was reported that SoftBank could acquire T-Mobile US, America's fourth-largest mobile carrier, for over 2 trillion yen ($18.9 billion). He has surprised market observers with the scale and speed of acquisitions he decides.
Higher hopes
In 2014, how far will Son push forward his global strategy?
"One billion subscribers" is a figure Son often mentions in conversations in-house these days. With Japan's population standing at about 130 million and the world population at about 7.1 billion, one billion subscribers would truly be on a global scale. SoftBank currently has a total of about 100 million subscribers in Japan and the U.S., including Sprint's subscribers. If it acquires T-Mobile US, the number will grow to about 150 million, but it would still be far short of 1 billion. The company will therefore seek growth in overseas markets other than Japan and the U.S.
"We always have discussions with a world map spread before us," said a SoftBank executive. The world is wide, and operations in the U.S. are a mere "prelude" to "becoming the No. 1 company in the world," as Son puts it.
Son's next target "may be Europe, with growing momentum for industry reorganization, or emerging countries that provide potentially large customer bases," said an industry insider.
In Europe, many major telecommunications companies operate in a small market. Many mobile operators have been unable to earn satisfactory profits from users of comparatively profitable smartphone services. Technological progress is impeded by strict regulations. "There is a serious decline in European telecom companies' ability," said an analyst at a foreign securities company. The European Commission is trying to promote the unification of telecom markets and the integration of telecom carriers in Europe, and U.S. telecom carrier AT&T is said to be looking for promising European carriers. It would not be surprising if SoftBank finds a good opportunity to enter the European market in this situation.
In emerging Asian countries, the number of mobile service subscribers is expected to continue growing with improvement in living standards. In those countries, however, it is not easy to develop a stable earnings model. SoftBank's average revenue per user (ARPU) is about 4,500 yen per month in Japan, but the corresponding figure in India is only a few dollars.
Strong group performers
In Asia, SoftBank could enhance cooperation with Alibaba Group, China's leading e-commerce operator, of which SoftBank is the largest shareholder. Alibaba's Executive Chairman Jack Ma said he would like to cooperate with SoftBank in e-commerce operations in Southeast Asia. Cooperating with Alibaba is promising not only in telecom services but in e-commerce and other content services.
Alibaba seems to hold the key to SoftBank's growth in 2014. It is said that Alibaba plans to go public on the Hong Kong stock exchange or elsewhere possibly in 2014, and its corporate value is said to exceed 10 trillion yen. SoftBank owns about 37% of the company's stock. It can expect the fruits of investment in the company as well as benefits from cooperation in business.
SoftBank has many other strongly performing companies in its group, including Yahoo Japan and GungHo Online Entertainment. Unrealized gains on its shareholdings in group companies total roughly 2 trillion yen, according to an estimate.
SoftBank's management method is characterized by the use of financial leverage. When the company acquired Sprint, its equity capital was valued at about 1 trillion yen, but it borrowed 1.98 trillion yen to carry out the acquisition. Although some people concerned are worried about the expanding debt, the company has so far been successful in pursuing its active acquisition strategy through coordination of its finances and management.
SoftBank's stock price rose nearly threefold in 2013, when its market capitalization reached 11 trillion yen, the second highest after that of Toyota Motor on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. For the year through March 2014, its operating profit is expected to top 1 trillion yen by international accounting standards, allowing the company to overtake NTT Docomo to take the top spot in the domestic telecom industry.
For Son, such landmark figures must already be becoming commonplace.

KILBOY is nestled among the Slieveardagh Hills in the Parish of Graystown and a short distance from Killenaule in County Tipperary. It adjoins the townland of Graystown, once a medieval settlement with a castle which now stands in ruins.
It was here where JOHN PERRY settled sometime in the 1750s. Who John's parents were and where he came from is still unclear but it is certain that no Perrys had lived or leased lands at Kilboy before this time.
The first actual record we have found regarding John is a post-marriage settlement from 1763 in which he receives lands at Graystown from his father in-law. [1] John married MARY HUGHES the eldest daughter of John & Ann Hughes and sister of Mathew Hughes and it is apparent that they were already married when this deed was drawn up. In fact, if the IGI entry for one of their sons is correct they must actually have married many years earlier which make us wonder why this settlement was drawn up so many years later.
John and Mary had children but at this time we can only confirm, with certainty, one son named HENRY who is thought to have been born around 1759. A marriage settlement for Henry identifies 2 probable brothers and a group of adjacent gravestones identify 3 more persons that could be siblings. These probable siblings were: John, who also held title to some of the Graystown lands, William of Cattaganstown, who was a witness to Henry's marriage settlement, Mathew of Mountaylor, Sarah who married Garret Hayes and Mary of Cattaganstown. Both Cattaganstown and Mountaylor are very close to Kilboy and Graystown. The family homestead was built at Kilboy where Henry later lived with his family and the other sons built homes in the neighbouring townlands.
The origins of John Perry of Kilboy, has been and still is, the focus of our current research – our "brick wall" so to say. Predominant names among his male descendants are John, Samuel, William, Richard, Henry, Mathew and Thomas and because the Irish used specific naming patterns we can conclude that the names 'Mathew' and 'Thomas' were 'married into the family'. Is it a coincidence that, with the exception of Henry, all other names are the same as those used in the Perry families of Woodrooff and Cork? Could John descend from the Perrys of Woodrooff ?
Perhaps we are barking up the wrong tree …but there are some discoveries that add fuel to this theory.
Samuel Perry of Cork's eldest son was also a John and referred to as 'eldest son & heir' in a land deed from 1743. If this John was the eldest son why is he not mentioned in any family documents, trees or the Perry family pedigrees published in Burke's Landed Gentry? His brother's, William of Woodrooff and Richard of Cork, are extensively documented. Samuel Perry married in 1721 and son John was likely between 18 and 21 years of age in 1743 in order to be involved in his father's land transaction. John was still living in 1759 and he, and his "natural daughter Nelly" were left a bequest from his uncle John at Woodrooff. [2] There were no other John Perrys in the Woodrooff family alive in 1759. It looks like John may have been disinherited and vanished into thin air.
At the same time "our" John Perry pops out of nowhere and settles at Kilboy very well being the same person.
In the biography of Samuel Perry of Wisconsin it also mentions a "grand-uncle" of Woodrooff who was high sheriff in Tipperary and this would be referring to William Perry of Woodrooff who was high sheriff in 1828. Perhaps his name was thrown in to make Samuel's ancestry sound more influential but who knows … perhaps the family at Kilboy descend from the Woodrooff family.
Unfortunately, with most Irish records having been destroyed in the 1920s we might never get to the bottom of this although DNA testing may be of some help.
JOHN PERRY of Kilboy is recorded a being an Esquire when he was admitted to the Corporation of Freeman of Fethard in 1775 but the title wasn't passed on and his descendants became farmers - quite a contrast to the Woodrooff Perrys who were part of the established gentry. When John died or where he is buried is unknown.
John's son HENRY married ANN TOPPIN [3] , daughter of Thomas Toppin of Buffana, in 1786 and of this union were 8 children who survived to maturity.
MARY PERRY was the eldest child being born around 1788. She married FRANCIS THOMPSON in 1808 and they had the children Henry, James, Frank, Mary, Ann and Susan. Daughter Ann married Robert Sparrow around 1844 and their daughter Frances Maria Sparrow was born in1845. Poor Ann was left a widow the following year and emigrated to Grey County, Ontario, Canada where her parents were likely already living. There she remarried John Sutcliffe, a native of Coolquil, Tipperary in 1857. Mary (Perry) Thompson died in 1873 and her husband in 1871. They are buried in Grace Anglican Cemetery in Sullivan Township, Grey Co. along with Ann, who died in 1904, and husband John Sutcliffe who died in 1893.
CAPT. JOHN PERRY was the second child and eldest son of Henry and Anne and was born in 1791. He was a cavalry officer in the British service and said to have been, " 6 feet in height, and broad in proportion ….". [4] He was the one who took over the family farm when his father died. In 1815 he married SUSAN ELIZABETH MINCHIN, daughter of Edward Minchin and Elizabeth Hunt and they had 10 children. Family lore describes John as being such a "crank" that all his children ran away and his wife died of a broken heart. There must be some truth to this tale because 4 sons emigrated to Wisconsin, the youngest having stowed away on the ship his brother was sailing on, and in his will he basically disowns 8 of his 10 child bequeathing them each 1 shilling. John died in 1872 and is thought to be buried in the vault at Ballinure cemetery. It is unknown when his wife died but interesting to note that she was buried with her parents at Lanespark Cemetery and not with her husband.
John and Elizabeth's children were:
v EDWARD Perry - of whom nothing is know. He inherits 1 shilling from his father in 1872 but his whereabouts are unknown. There is some speculation that he could be the Edward Perry living at Liscannor in Co. Clare at this time but there is no proof.
v HENRY MINCHIN, the 2nd son also disappears but turns up again living in Bitton near Bristol in England as a private tutor in the 1880 census. His student is a young lad named Glencairn Dunsmuir Gun Cuninghame who turns out to be a descendant of the Pery family of Limerick and the Earl's of Glencairn. We certainly wonder how Henry found this job. In 1882, at the age of 55, Henry married the wealthy widow ANNA SLATTER DREW (nee OLDLAND) who was 80 years old. I have no idea (other than her wealth) what would have motivated such a marriage but Anna died 3 years later and probably left Henry with a good chuck of money. After her death Henry disappears and we have no idea where he ended up or died.
v THOMAS PERRY was the next child of John and Susan and remained on the family farm in Kilboy until his death in 1904. He was crippled and walked with crutches and was known as a talented-fiddler throughout the area. In fact, the whole Perry family were remembered as great musicians. It is thought Thomas died a bachelor but some family notes from the 1960s have surfaced stating that he had 10 children who all went to England. If this is true then we have no idea who he married or who his children were. This information may or may not be correct.
v WILLIAM MINCHIN was born in 1829 and inherited the family farm and properties and was the last of the Perry line to have lived at Kilboy. He married his cousin, MARY ANNE NORRIS who was the daughter of William Norris and Eliza Perry. Mary Anne was an expert healer and renowned throughout the area for her herbal remedies and potions. This couple did not have any children although rumours exist that William actually did father children with someone else. This must still be investigated. William died in 1907 and in his will his wife was given a life-long right to dwell at Kilboy but the title and properties were left to his cousin Col. Samuel Henry Perry in Liverpool. It is said his widow was so upset with this that she packed her belongings, the furniture and plate and returned to her family birthplace of Horse & Jockey where she died in 1924.
v JOHN, SAMUEL, (b.1835), MATTHEW (b.1836) and RICHARD M. (b.1840) were the 4 youngest sons and all emigrated to Wisconsin in the mid 1850s. Matthew and Richard were the first to go with young Richard being the above mentioned stow-away. They apparently spent some time in Canada with their uncle Richard and were then joined by John & Samuel who came over to find them. After some time they continued to Wisconsin. JOHN is thought to have gone to California sometime later where all traces of him were lost. SAMUEL married Elizabeth McCormick in 1860 and became a prosperous and influential citizen in Ahnapee, Kewaunee County. He died there in 1906. Richard and Matthew ended up living at Forestville in Door County. MATTHEW married Henrietta Machinsky in 1867 and died in 1915 and RICHARD M .married Annie Knop in 1867 and died in 1899. The latter 3 brothers all left issue.
v ANNE was the eldest daughter of Capt. John Perry and Susan Elizabeth Minchin. She married the widower THOMAS SUTCLIFFE of Coolquil in 1855 who was many years her senior. They had a least 3 children: Thomas (ca. 1856), Susan (1860) and John (ca. 1861). Susan Sutcliffe married Thomas Fitzgerald in 1884 and they had 6 children. She was left a widow in 1899 and died in 1962 at the ripe old age of 102. She is buried with her mother and grandmother at Lanespark Cemetery. Her brother John Sutcliffe married a woman named Susan and is listed living in Crohane with a 1-year year-old son Thomas in the 1901 census. Nothing else is known about them.
v ELIZABETH was the youngest daughter in this family and was also left 1 shilling because she went to live with her sister without her father's permission. She never married and is living with her nephew John Sutcliffe and his family in the 1901 census.
THOMAS was the second son of Henry Perry & Anne Toppin and emigrated to Canada, likely with his elder sister Mary Thompson. We have found no trace of him in Canada and it is possible he died young or moved elsewhere.
HENRY was the next son and is thought to have married SARAH NICHOLSON in 1818. This is not certain. He inherited the land at Graystown which were passed down to his son Thomas. Thomas (1826-1904) married Maria Sparrow, the daughter of John Sparrow of Shauakyle in 1863. Maria died in 1923 and they are both buried at Ballinure Graveyard. Henry & Maria had no children and the residue of the estate was left to Maria's nieces and nephews, the Doyles, Humphreys and Sparrows.
RICHARD PERRY was born in 1797 and married SUSANNAH PROCTOR in 1821. They emigrated to Lloydtown, Ontario, Canada in 1831 with their first four children: John, Henry, Anne and Hannah and Susannah's young niece Susannah Lee . 3-year-old Hannah died on the voyage to Canada. In Canada 6 more children were born. Details of Richard and Susannah and their family can be found under, The Perry's of Lloydtown.
ELIZA (1802-1888) was the 2nd daughter of Henry and Anne Perry. She married WILLIAM NORRIS in 1833. They had at least one daughter and she was the 'healer' Mary Anne Norris who married her cousin William Minchin Perry. Eliza and her husband are also buried at Ballinure.
WILLIAM was the youngest son and was born in 1808. He moved to Moorehill near Strancally in Waterford where he worked as a police officer and prison warden. He married BRIDGET EMILY BARNIDGE, daughter of John Barnidge, at Kilwatermoy, Waterford in 1849. William died 1872 in Waterford and his widow passed away in London in November 1912. They had the following 8 children:
v COL. SAMUEL HENRY was born 1851 at Strancally in Waterford. In 1875 he married ELIZA ANN PENISTON, the daughter of James & Mary Anne Peniston, and about the same time moved to Bidston, Birkenhead, England where he founded S.H. Perry & Co. Ltd and ran a very successful business as a provision merchant. He was also a Colonel of the 9th Battalion of the Kings Liverpool Regiment and chairman of the Lancaster Rifle Association. Col. Sam was the one who kept ties with all the relations and visited his cousins in Ireland, Wisconsin & Canada several times. He inherited the Kilboy house and property from William Minchin Perry and he did his best to keep the property in the family, which he eventually passed on, to his cousin Susan Fitzgerald for a yearly fee. It is told he contacted relatives in America asking if they would take the property but no one wanted to return to Ireland. Samuel and Eliza had 3 children:
Ř WILLIAM HENRY (1876-1965) was the eldest son and a prominent churchman in the Liverpool and Birkenhead regions. He married Jane Ellen Turner 1909 in Liverpool and they had one son, Samuel John Peniston who was born in 1910.
Ř DOROTHY MARY (Dolly) (1890 – 1952) was their 2nd child and she fell in love with her Canadian cousin Horace Perry Bond who had been stationed in England during the First World War. They married in 1919 and Dorothy accompanied her husband back to Canada as a war bride. It became a tragic and unhappy marriage and Dorothy eventually returned to England where she later died. They had no children.
Ř SAMUEL THOMAS JAMES (Jim) (1893-1981) was the last child of Samuel and Eliza and married Edith Valerie Cooper 1916 in Liverpool. Jim was also in the 9th Battalion of the Kings Liverpool Regiment and was active in WW1 where he was wounded and became a prisoner of war in Germany towards the end of the war. He continued his military career after the war and was a chairman of the Liverpool Rifle Association for almost half a century. Samuel Thomas James and his wife Edith had 3 children: Jean Valerie, Vivienne Janette and James Stuart.
v ISABELLA (1856-1860) – died as a child
v LOUISE B. (1856 -) married ALEXANDER DAWSON around 1879 in London. Her husband was a native of Fermanagh, Ireland. They had 10 children: William James, Mary, Elizabeth, Robert Henry, Mary Louisa, John, Dorothy, Grace Annie, Alice Isabella and Anne Florence – all born in Highgate, England. Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.
v WILLIAM DE LACY (1858-1916) married ANN MANNERS in 1886 and died 1916 in Southport, England. They had no children.
v EMILY (1863-1951) – married DAVID HEINRICH RUEGG of Zurich, Switzerland and they had 9 children: Susie (1885), Louise (1887), Harry (1889), Emily (1891), Charles (1892-1956), Max (1895), Alice 1896-1922), Grace Bridget (1898-1978) and Olive (1905-1974). Louise married Franz Wachsmuth and lived near Heidelberg, Germany. In a letter to her uncle in 1938 she asks for assistance in collecting documents and tracing her Perry family roots as her two sons have been called to do military service in Germany and have to prove that their earlier relations had not been "Israelites". Apparently sufficient documents proving their ancestry were found and this was likely the first research family research ever done on the Perry family of Kilboy. It must have been a very frightening time though.
v MATHEW (1864) – died as an infant.
v ISABEL E. (Bella) (1868-1947) married a MR: HIGGIE in Glasgow, Scotland and had two daughters, Eva and Irene. Irene married a Dr. J.W. Clark in England and may have been a doctor herself. Not much is known about this line.
v ELIZA ANN (1858) married THOMAS INCH 1889 in London and they had 4 children; Thomas, Percy, Beatrice and Angela.
UNKNOWN child. Family records tell us that Henry Perry and Ann Toppin had eight children who all survived to maturity. 7 have now been identified and one is still a mystery. If this child were a male it is highly likely he was named Samuel or Mathew as these names are among 3 lines of Henry's grandchildren but not among his own known children.

Everyone should just stop playing the blame game.
Get rid of Melo. Linsantity is coming to an end... fire D'Antoni....
Shhhhhhh... let's all calm down, folks.
LET'S NEVER FORGET THAT JEREMY LIN IS STILL A ROOKIE in terms of experience and playing under a freakin MICROSCOPE. You try to take that heat... especially from the fickle New York crowd.
Before we go all ape sh*t pointing the finger at every possible victim on the Knicks, let's go back to the original breakout game for Jeremy against the Nets.
I've watched this game approximately 7 times, partially because it's amazing to see the beginning of this great sports story over and over again and partially to examine the chemistry of the team WITH Melo and Amare during the Linsanity take-off.
Plus, it's just really fun to watch... even after the 6th time.
So Lin comes in late in the 1st quarter, but doesn't do much.
It's another story as soon as soon as the 2nd quarter starts. You see the beginning flashes of Linsanity.
Within the first 30 seconds, Jeremy Lin drives and makes a layup, steals the ball and hands over an assist to Toney Douglas. It was Douglas, Stoudemire, Walker(we need him, btw, he's big help from the bench), Jeffries(most underrated player, btw, until everyone started noticing a huge gaping defensive hole when he was MIA), and Lin.
At the 9:41 mark, Lin does a pick and roll pass to Jeffries, and Jeffries DUNKS that sh*t.
One thing for sure is the Jeffries-Lin chemistry. When Jeffries is in, he's Lin's personal bodyguard AND the guy that hustles in all the right places. He picks up the big, gaping defensive slack left by STAT and basically everyone except Tyson. (Lin's defense has improved a LOT, watch the Bucks game)
I'm not going to write out all the important/beautiful plays of this game cuz I could write a book.
The first thing you notice when watching the game is, the Knicks are hustling. Even on defense. They're just hustling. They have NOT been doing so these last games. They only slightly start simulating the 'semblance of hustling when we're down 20 points.
If you watch the 99-92 Nets game, the chemistry is the most lethal with Tyson, Jeffries and Lin. Any combo including 2 out of those 3 and we're good. And as long as you don't play Amare and Melo TOGETHER, the chemistry just doesn't quit.
Excellent chemistry + hustling defense usually = win.
You can have Tyson, Jeffries, Lin, Melo and Fields. Or sub Fields with Walker. Or Novak. Or Shump. This team definitely is "deep".
And there's nothing that could be said about the ball of fire chemistry between the young JR Smith and the old Baron. Just pure fun and exciting basketball.
Now, this next part might be blasphemous, but it's got to be said.
I have the highest respect for Amare, but let's face it... He and Melo play the same way: the ball movement slows down when EITHER of them have the ball. This isn't a horrible thing because sometimes Melo does the whole Kobe(ugh) Mamba thing and you just can't stop the guy when he drives to the basket.
Amare and Melo play the same way, except Melo plays better. Melo finishes more at the hoop and he's better with outside shots.
Those two cannot be in at the same time if the Knicks want to run a high-paced offense, which is the offense that usually helps them win.
Amare is a veteran in the NBA and it's starting to show..
James Dolan is an unpredictable guy, he can fire you while on a hot winning streak, or let you have endless losing seasons in a row as Knicks fans know.
No one knows if D'Anonti's job is safe, especially not D'Antoni. So what does he have to
D'Antoni needs to sack up and make some changes in the rotation.
D'Antoni, your job is on the line already, so now's the time to show you have some guts. It takes guts to lead a team, and we love your positive/encouraging words, but sometimes constructive criticism is a much needed kick in the ass jump start. At this point, it's ALL IN or NOTHING.
If egos are going to get in the way, the Knicks will never win. C'mon, Knicks, all of ya'll have bulging, bloated paychecks, all you're missing is a ring. And you can't get a ring if your ego is more important than winning as a team.
If Stoudemire has to go to the bench, so be it. He even says over and over again that the team needs to do everything and anything to win, so if that means playing when Melo is out, then let's do it. Let's TRY IT.
'Nother thing, Knicks.. Stop freaking THINKING SO MUCH or TRYING to find that chemistry. The Knicks don't look like they've had fun playing since that game against the Raptors.
Yes, we've had wins since then, but they're just TRYING too hard and THINKING too much, leave everything off the court and play! If it's gettin to your heads, stop watching and reading the news, screw them all. JUST PLAY SOME BALL, DUDES!!!!
Chicago starting line-up: Tyson, Lin, Melo, Jeffries(if possible)/Shump, Novak.
Let's just try it... I mean, what have we got to lose, really?..
p.s. this is my first post ever, so try to be nice =)

Plans for a Sussex vineyard to become one of the biggest in Europe are one step closer.
Bosses at the sprawling Rathfinny wine estate in Alfriston, near Seaford, have unveiled a new £5.5 million winery complex that will help the firm produce more than one million bottles of wine a year.
The state-of-the-art winery is the biggest in the UK and will be used to produce a white wine that competes with the likes of Bollinger and Pol Roger, retailing for around £25 a bottle.
The grapes will be pressed, fermented and bottled on site in Sussex and all sourced from the Rathfinny Estate.
The 600-acre site was purchased by husband and wife team Mark and Sarah Driver in 2010 following an 18 month search for the perfect location to match premier French sparkling wine makers.
Mr Driver, 49, a former hedge fund manager who worked in the city, swapped his suit and tie for jeans and wellies in a bid to turn Rathfinny into a world-wide brand.
He said: "It will soon be the biggest single site vineyard in the UK. We planted 67,000 vines in 2012 and 73,000 in 2013. We are just about to do our third plant of 80,000.
"Our final planting in 2020 will bring the total size of the vineyard to 700,000 vines on 160 hectares. Sussex is perfect for producing sparkling wine as it has similar soil and a climate which is very similar to the Champagne region.
"In fact the same band of chalk that runs up through the Champagne region of France comes up out of the English Channel at Beachy Head and forms the South Downs."
Mr Driver said Rathfinny was the biggest single site in England, but "quality was more important than size". A long admirer of wine, he studied for a degree in wine making at Plumpton College and took the first steps to fulfilling his dream when he left his job in the city in 2009.
But he is not alone. He will employ a team of around 30 full time staff and 200 seasonal staff when business is in full flow, including renowned French winemaker Jonathan Médard.
The first bottles of Rathfinny sparkling wine will be available in 2017.
Mr Drive added: "Within the winery we have a beautiful trade tasting room, which the public can use for private events and we will be offering tours of the vineyard and winery with lunch or afternoon tea, starting in March."

If you travel often or for long periods, staying in shape and following your preferred workout program can be tough. Running or walking the streets around you hotel or accommodation venue will get you some cardio, but your weight training can suffer if you don't have an in-house gym or one nearby.
Bodyweight exercise can offer a solution. It's easy to learn, effective, and you can do it just about anywhere.
You can enhance bodyweight exercises with bands and tubes, which are easy to carry in luggage.
The following bodyweight exercises work all the major muscle groups, and most are compound exercise that work multiple muscle groups within the one exercise.
Defining Bodyweight Exercises
Using the weight of your own body to create resistance was one of the earliest forms of strength training. Many forms of resistance and exercise training use your own bodyweight. Programs such as yoga, Pilates, calisthenics and plyometrics all use bodyweight to enhance strength, muscle, flexibility and fitness at some level. Resistance bodyweight exercises use a recognizable strength and resistance training model of concentric, eccentric and isometric exercise to achieve fitness and strength targets.
The following exercises form the core of the traveler's bodyweight workout program. Many other variations and modifications are possible.
The push-up is a classic bodyweight exercise, and it demonstrates clearly the principle of bodyweight resistance training. While facing the floor and propped up on hands and toes, push the body to and from the floor.
One "up-and-down" is one push-up repetition. Don't go too fast or too slow. Keep the head and neck steady. Do as many as you can in one minute; rest, then try again. Rest your knees on the ground (assisted pushup) if you find the exercise difficult when you first start out.
The Squat
The squat without weights may seem easy, but once you get up to the 15-rep mark it can take a toll on the knees, upper legs and butt until you build some condition. The squat develops legs and butt muscles and, over time, may strengthen knee joints. However, be cautious with this exercise if you have an existing knee injury or feel knee pain at any stage in the workout.
The Lunge
The lunge is a fundamental bodyweight exercise. Done in sets of eight or more (each leg), lunges provide strength, balance and flexibility training. You can see how to perform the lunge in the example of a weighted lunge.
Options include a variety of arm positions - at the sides, straight out in front, raised at each side, crossed at the chest or straight up overhead. For example, the arms raised at the sides provides better balance and stability than arms crossed at the chest.
Options include the backward lunge and the 45-degree angle side lunge.
The Crunch
Crunches are a popular exercise for strengthening the abdominal muscles. Many different types of crunches are possible.
- Standard crunch, in which the shoulders are raised off the floor while you contract the abs.
- Reverse crunch, in which the legs and knees are raised off the floor while you contract the abs.
- Combo crunch, which is a combination of both of the above.
- Bicycle crunch, which includes all of the above and you peddle your legs in the air.
The Dip
Dips are performed with a chair or bench. You push up from a chair with arms behind and legs out front. For bench dips, you can start out with the knees bent at about 90 degrees and your feet more or less flat on the floor. As you get stronger, dip with your feet stretched out in front, balancing on your heels.
The Wall Squat
Stand against a wall and slowly bend the knees while supporting your back with the wall. Hold the position with thighs parallel to the floor for 10 seconds, then return to the standing position.
The Wall Push
Stand facing a solid wall, raise the arms to shoulder height and push hard against the wall for 10 seconds. Move one foot to the rear for balance and force. Relax and repeat three times. This is an "isometric" exercise where the muscles don't shorten or lengthen.
The Plank
The plank exercise has you on the floor, facing down, balancing on your elbows and toes. That's it. You hold that position for as long as you can, rest, then do it again. If you can hold the plank for 2-3 minutes, you are doing fine.
The Chair Stand
Sit on a chair that is braced against a wall. Sit and stand 10 times then rest. Do three sets.
These bodyweight exercises will build good strength in a fitness program. You can use most of them at just about any time and any place. For complete fitness, add some running or fast walking or even interval training as well.

Research Scientists
Joshua Weller
Dr. Joshua Weller's research broadly focuses on how affective and cognitive processes contribute to decision-making and risk perceptions. Dr. Weller's lab is currently conducting research addressing four specific questions: (1) How do decision-making abilities change from childhood to older age? (2) In what ways may child maltreatment impact the development of these abilities? (3) How does stress impact decision making? and (4) To what degree do individual differences in personality correlate with decision-making processes and risk perceptions?

Thinking back to the 2010 season for a moment where Woody Johnson and Mike Tannenbaum went just about everywhere to build a Superbowl team in one year, it makes me wonder what has happened with some of the big name players that the Jets acquired in the free agency and through trades.
Santonio Holmes (Trade) A
Has become the premier target for Mark Sanchez
Antonio Cromartie (Trade) A-
He has been hot and cold. When hot he's the 2nd best corner in the league. When cold, he's a detriment to the team. His contributions in the KR game have been similar.
Nick Folk (FA) B+
Has been very effective on FGs and Kickoffs, he has been clutch against Indy and Dallas. His head-scratching misses make him one of the most nerve-wracking players on the team to watch.
LaDanian Tomlinson (FA) B+
Has been everything we expected him to be, but not everything we WANTED him to be
Tanner Purdum (FA) B
If you aren't aware that Tanner Purdum is the long snapper, that's a good sign. We never hear his name for better or for worse - that too, is a good sign.
Brodney Pool (FA) C+
A great athlete, probably a better all-around football player than Eric Smith, but can't seem to find his way onto the field enough.
Trevor Pryce (FA) (2010 only) C-
He did most of what we expected he would in his 1 year with the team. The safety in the game against the Bengals was one of the clutch plays of the game - overshadowed by Brad Smith.
Jason Taylor (FA) (2010 only) D+
The fact that he led the team in sacks - with just 4.0 - speaks more to the team's lack of pass rush than his own abilities. Played very little, but made the clutch fumble against the Patriots.
Mark Brunell (FA) D
He showed in the last game against Buffalo in 2010 that he can still play, but aside from being Steve Weatherford' heir in the PK holder position, he hasn't contributed anything tangible.
Patrick Turner (FA) D
If we really needed a good athlete who can catch a ball, we could have made Cromartie a backup WR. He had a nice catch in the games against Houston and more recently New England, but has done NOTHING else.

Sunday evening I encountered this artifact created out of the weekend's leftovers. I had been showing family around who had never been nyc before. That meant three miserable days of walking in the rain while forcing myself to be cheerful. This stream or river or rainbow or spittle-barf of umbrellas was an affirmation to me of whats most at stake in being conscious, (which could be described very quickly, I guess, as a reaction). Whoever made this left no trace of themselves nor stuck around to explain. Less is almost always more. I love you, whoever made this, for that.

The award winners for both conferences have been announced for week 8. The AFC is up first followed by the NFC after the 'Jump.' Note that the Baltimore Ravens were well represented as Joe Flacco (Offense), Jarret Johnson (Defense) and Lardarius Webb (Special Teams) were all nominated as well.
Running back CHRIS JOHNSON of the Tennessee Titans, rookie linebacker BRIAN CUSHING of the Houston Texans and wide receiver-kick returner TED GINN, JR. of the Miami Dolphins are the AFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week for games played the eighth week of the 2009 season (November 1-2), the NFL announced today.

- Helped the Texans improve to 5-3, the best record through first eight games of a season in franchise history.
- In his rookie year from Southern California, this is Cushing's second career Player of the Week award. He previously won the award in Week 6. He is the first Texan to win Defensive Player of the Week twice in a season since MARIO WILLIAMS in 2007 (Week 1 and 15).
- Ginn registered kick-return touchdowns of 101 and 100 yards in the third quarter of the Dolphins' 30-25 win over the New York Jets.
- He is the first player in NFL history with two touchdowns of 100 yards in the same game and is the eighth player in NFL history with two kick-return touchdowns in a game.

Soaring popularity sees club on move
2:40pm Friday 21st December 2012 in Local
THE Olympic standard Earls Gymnastic Club is on the verge of leaving Halesowen for a new home in Netherton.
The club, where Olympic bronze medalist Kristian Thomas trains, has submitted a planning application to change a unit in Westminster Industrial Estate in Cradley Road into a state-of-the-art gym.
Longstanding problems concerning the club's Earls High School home and a surge in new members after the heroics of Kristian in London 2012 has forced the club to move.
Club chairman Jon Caulwell confirmed the club will be relocating from its Earls home but promised the new premises will be no more than three miles away.
He said: "We are actively looking to move, we have to leave our current premises as our membership has grown even more since the Olympics.
"We have put an application for a change of use of the premises in Netherton but it is one of a number of options we are looking into at the moment.
"The priority has to be to keep the club alive and to progress and we need bigger premises to cater for all our members."
British Gymnastics, the sport's governing body, is part funding the new state-of-the-art gym which will allow the club's 550 members to train around the clock.

Loved seeing "Peter Pan" on the big screen with other appreciative Disney fans. Very cool! Only gripe is that the "Jake and the Never Land Pirates" pre-show was kind of weird. Just one dancer in a Jake costume, dancing by his/herself to music for several minutes. My partner and I wondered if they usually have more dancers? Last El Capitan pre-show I remember seeing, there were several dancers - Mickey Mouse and many others. Aside from that, it was a very nice event!

The movie was great, however, when you go to El Capitan theatre, you are expecting a bit more live characters on stage. Jake was the only live character and if your children were not familiar with Jake, they did not enjoy seeing him. The purpose...continued

My son loved this event, Jake came out to dance before Jake and the never land pirates cartoon came on. After the cartoon was over it went straight into Peter Pan, which was good. All employees and El Capitan were very nice and helpful.
*Peter Pan *
Think of the happiest things as Peter Pan soars to spectacular new heights! Bid your cares good-bye as Wendy and her brothers embark on fantastic adventures with the hero of their bedtime stories…Peter Pan! With faith, trust and Tinker Bell's pixie dust, Peter teaches them how to fly and leads them to the "second star to the right" and beyond…to Never Land!
Jake and the Never Land Pirates *
Jake and his crew of pirates make a great team on all of their fun-filled adventures on Never Land! On their quests for treasure, Jake, Izzy, Cubby, and their parrot Skully set sail from their hideout on Pirate Island on their trusty pirate ship Bucky. But they always seem to run into Captain Hook and his sidekick Smee who will do anything to get their hands on the treasure first! With team work and problem solving, Jake invites everyone to join in on their adventures as they earn gold doubloons for the team treasure chest along the way!

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Several flags were stolen from Wrightsboro United Methodist Church in Wilmington overnight.
According to people with the church, seven of the 56 flags were taken. Each flag represents a military friend or family member of a church member who devoted their lives to fighting for our country.
The church began displaying the flags in November, just before Veteran's Day. They also display the flags for Memorial Day, Independence Day and 9/11.
Church members have already replaced the missing flags.

The Computer Renewal Program keeps faculty and staff up to date with modern computer technology The Program insures all permanent faculty and staff have access to a modern computer (PC or Apple) to support our educational mission. Learn more by reading our lists of frequently asked questions and example computers. A faculty or staff is eligible to participate every four years, or any time they do not have a University-funded computer that is less than four years old. Funding is sufficient to pay for a basic computer, expected to be compatible with common productivity software that becomes available over the next four years. Supplemental funding, such as MSP, is very important because it works together with Computer Renewal Program funds to provide faculty and staff with laptops and more expensive computers.
Beyond funding and ordering computers, the Program provides participants with a combination of services always available to every CHFA faculty and staff member: technology consulting to identify a member's needs and recommend the best technology, quotes to provide the greatest possible performance for funds available, delivery and installation of computers, peripherals and software, on-site training and ongoing on-site support.

Arizona is struggling early on the road, giving up 48 yards worth of penalties so far and throwing an interception to Christopher Owens.
Atlanta again ran the ball well on a six-play (and multiple-penalty) drive that yielded a field goal. Matt Ryan does not look any more comfortable in the pocket than he did last week, but he has thrown for 56 yards so far.

TOWSON, Md. - All of Towson University's football games for the next two seasons will be broadcast live on FOX 1370-AM Sports Radio in Baltimore, it has been announced by Mike Hermann, the Director of Athletics at Towson University, and Bob Pettit, the general manager of FOX Sports Radio.
In addition to the weekly play-by-play broadcasts of Tiger football, FOX 1370 AM Sports Radio will also broadcast Coach Rob Ambrose's show every week during the season.
"At FOX 1370 Sports Radio, we are excited to part of Tiger football for the 2010 and 2011 seasons," said Pettit. "Towson fans and alumni throughout central Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia can now follow Tiger football action on our 50,000-watt sports powerhouse!
"Towson football is Baltimore's NCAA team with tens of thousands of students and alumni in the area," he added. "We want to make sure everyone can follow the play-by-play action on Saturdays as well as during the week with Rob Long, Stan Charles and Jerry Coleman. Last season, the Rob Ambrose Coaches' Show on FOX 1370 Sports Radio was a big hit with the fans visiting the live broadcast at Bill Bateman's Bistro in Towson and listening to the show on the radio. We are planning to continue the tradition with a live show every week.
"Towson football and the Rob Ambrose Show will add to our great lineup on FOX 1370 Sports Radio," he concluded.
Hermann said, "We are excited to partner with FOX 1370 Sports Radio to broadcast Tiger football games over the next two seasons. Our football program will benefit from the station's strong signal and its growing local sports lineup.
"Our partnership with FOX 1370 Sports Radio actually began last football season when the station was the home for the weekly Rob Ambrose Show," Hermann added. "We were impressed with the professionalism that was demonstrated every week. We are looking forward to working together to share the excitement of Tiger football with the Baltimore sports community over the next two seasons."
Although Tiger football has a new broadcast home, Spiro Morekas, '83 will continue in his long-time role as the Tigers' play-by-play announcer for the 2010 season. He will be starting his 20th season calling Tiger football on the radio.
Each of the Tigers' five home games will be preceded by a 90-minute pre-game show.
In its second season under the direction of Coach Ambrose, the Tiger football team will face another challenging schedule in 2010.
The Tigers, who are members of the very competitive Colonial Athletic Association, open their season on the road against a Big Ten Conference opponent for the second straight season. The Tigers, who opened the 2009 season at Northwestern, travel to Indiana to face the Hoosiers on Thursday evening, September 2.
The Tigers host Coastal Carolina in their home opener on September 11 before visiting defending national champion Villanova on September 18 and Columbia on September 25.
The Tigers host Massachusetts in their CAA home opener on October 2 before facing James Madison at home on October 9. After an October 23 road game at Richmond, Towson hosts Rhode Island for Homecoming on October 30. On November 6, the Tigers visit Delaware. In their final home game, the Tigers host Maine on November 13. The Tigers close out the regular season on November 20 at New Hampshire.
In 2011, FOX 1370-AM will broadcast the Tigers' much-anticipated season opener against Maryland at Byrd Stadium as well as the Tigers' CAA schedule and non-conference games against Colgate and Coastal Carolina.

Charlotte hosts the country's largest Renaissance-themed festival and showcases culture and charm at every corner, giving couples plenty of opportunities to relax and connect. And while Charlotte ranks high when it comes to marital bliss, couples do have some health factors to overcome, given the city's high smoking rates and low rankings in heart health. Couples can extend their years together by eating more fruits and veggies and chucking the cigarettes. In fact, stopping smoking can add 3.6 years to your life if you're a man and 5.2 years to your life if you're a woman by reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, and a host of other health problems.

Kickstarter Fall 2014
Dream Pod 9 is planning a Kickstarter this fall to fund the Heavy Gear Blitz! New Edition Tabletop Wargaming CORE RULES.
We are now preparing the Kickstarter to fund the new 200+ page Core Rulebook with the goal of having it go live in October. The plan so far is to start out with an ebook and full size printed book in black & white, as Backer options. Plus two major stretch goals, first a full color upgrade to the book followed by a hardcover upgrade to the book. The final book release would be Summer 2015 at Gen Con for the 20th Anniversary of Heavy Gear. Backers would get their copies mailed out the month before the official release. The Kickstarter's only purpose is to fund the production of new rulebook and what's needed for it; writing, copy editing, layout, artwork, painting up a lot of miniatures to the new high level paint jobs, terrain, and photos. Plus to make sure we have enough copies of the new Core Rules pre-ordered to pay for everything. This is not a Kickstarter to fund new miniatures.
We'll be previewing all of the Kickstarter stretch goals, add-ons and ideas in Mid-September on the Dream Pod 9 Website, Forum and Facebook page to get everyone's feedback and ideas to help us prepare a successful campaign. We need everyone's help to spread the word about the Kickstarter, tell your friends, family, local game store (we plan a retailer backer option for them as well), gaming club, and convention.
This is the opportunity to bring new players into the game, get your local gaming groups started, have games run at local game stores, conventions, and get organized play prepared and running for next summer's release. We need your help and support to make it happen.

TERMITE damage may not be as sudden or as violent as damage from fire or storms, but the truth is, termites cause more damage than all fires, hurricanes and tornadoes combined.
The damages of a termite-infested house are nothing to laugh at. Termites chew mercilessly, be it your kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, shelves and bookcases.Your roof is also not spared as these pests can cause your house to collapse.
To effectively eliminate termites from causing damage to your house, it is important that you understand the biology and feeding behavior of termites. Subterranean termites, the most common kind that attack properties, live in the soil. They are social insects and, like ants, live in colonies which can contain up to two million members. These colonies consist of a network of tunnels and chambers built around a king and queen whose job is to reproduce. The rest of the colony is made up of secondary reproductives, workers and soldiers that play specific roles in keeping the colony healthy.
Termites that are going to become queens are fed special chemicals and food by worker termites to make sure that they grow up with wings and the ability to mate and to lay eggs.
Most of these termites, which are known as reproductives, fly off from the nests in large numbers during the wet part of the year. At this stage the all look similar, whether they are males (kings) or females (queens) and none of them have swollen abdomens. They fly away from the nest to begin a new colony in another place. if they are successful, they meet a mate and dig into the soil.
Once there, they begin to form a new colony. When the king and queen are safely together in the nest, the queen begins to grow and produce eggs to start a new colony.
Worker termites are soft-bodied, wingless, blind and sterile individuals in the colony. They keep busy 24hours a day digesting wood fibres and other forms of cellulose which they eat, digest and share with other members of the colony. They can even chew through lead, asphalt, plaster or mortar to find wood.
Soldier termites are involved in defense. They are wingless, blind and soft-bodied. their heads are usually larger than the workers and are normally equipped with a pair of mandibles of jaws.
Termites often infest buildings and damage wood panels, door frames, window frames, wooden flooring, wallpaper, paper products and fabric made of plant fibres.
Solving your termite problem is a job for trained termite specialists. Ridpest, whose tagline is "The Proven Termite Eliminator", is known for its guarantee in eliminating termites.
Ridpest Innovative Baiting System (RIBS) features a double money-back guarantee, the only one of its kind in the market. Your investment in RIBS is guaranteed to give you the results that you wan or you don't pay at all.Here's how it works: if RIBS fails to eliminate the colony of termites covered, within the first 120days of the commencement of each baiting process, Ridpest will refund in full the amount paid by you for the contract period covered.
In addition, Ripdest will also pay you an amount not exceeding the same amount paid by you to get another pest control company of your choice to treat the termite infestation. Or you can continue to use your service at no additional charge.

The earlier the decade the harder it is to find good vintage inspired or reproduction dresses for sale. This is especially true for the 1920′s. Most clothing of this era is found on cheap costume sites which is fine for a one time party but not a great choice for an authentic look and feel.
Real 1920′s inspired evening gowns are covered in beaded patterns, made with rich materials like velvet, silk or chiffon and almost always feature a drop waist. Drop waists literally dropped over the entire decade. Early drop waists hung around the high hip while later dresses came all the way down to the knee. Some dresses didn't have a waist at all- just one long sheath dress.
Day dresses were made with cotton and other less expensive materials yet still featured the drop waists and embroidery instead of beads. Sashes were used to create the illusion of the waist band over sheath dresses. Colors were light pastels of green, peach, pink and blue for spring with slightly darker shades for fall.
My favorite sites for 1920′s dresses for sale online:
Vintage Dancer: Yes that is here. Rather then send you all over the web looking for 1920′s dresses I have compiled several pages of 1920′s style dresses from multiple online retailers. Talk about one stop shopping!

If you need 1920′s Style dresses in Plus Sizes then this is the page for you.
1920′s Formal Dresses: For prom or special dresses occasions these ones are full of beautiful beading. If you are a fan of Downton Abbey you may like these early 20′s style formal dresses.

Unique-Vintage.com carries a line of 1920′s style dresses that are elaborately beaded on sheer netting just like real 1920s dresses. Most if not all of their gowns are copied from original 20′s dresses. Another repro line is made by Leluxe clothing. I have purchased two of their dresses and I am thrilled with the design, the quality, and customer service. Since these are shear you will need to get a matching slip to wear underneath. I was fortunate enough to find one at my thrift store but Unique-Vintage and Leluxe carry them as well www.leluxeclothing.com (Leluxe is currently not in operation. We hope to see them up and running again soon.) Another new shop is Wear Dreams are Made. They design their own line of gorgeous beaded dresses as well as carry the popular Nataya band. Similar dresses in Australia can be found at Vintage Now Clothing.
Unique Vintage also carries a very large selection of Sue Wong dresses which are heavily influence by the beaded dress styles of the 1920′s and 1930′s.
TJFormal.com, Nordstrom, Macy's and BlueGala.com carry formal evening gowns that are inspired by the 1920′s. Designers Terani, Mignon, Sue Wong and Mon Cheri are four brands that always seem to carry 1920′s inspired gowns. These are great for white tie events, proms, and weddings. See my bests picks at the Formal Dresses page.
www.revampvintage.com – For very authentic 1920′s dresses, skirts and pants look no further than revamp. This company takes original patterns and recreates them in limited runs so that your outfit is almost as rare as the originals. New selections are added often so its worth bookmarking or following on Facebook to see the latest additions.
BlueVelvetVintage- Recently started to carry a few 1920s reproduction beaded dresses as well as the romantic Nataya brand dresses. I am a big fan of this site for other retro repro clothing and now to have 20′s is just icing on the cake!
Here are some of my favorite 1920′s dresses for sale online:
