text: Corsets have been around for well over a century, originally made from whale bone and then later steel bones to provide strength and support. Today, women of all shapes and style sensibilities have rediscovered the corset's versatility to not only accentuate and embrace a woman's curves, but to provide relief and support for back, fashion, costumes and waist training. Featuring satin, cotton, pinstripes, brocades and leather corsets, our selection includes everything from solid black satin to dazzling brocades and pinstripes. With sturdy construction capable of tight lacing, many of our designs can be used as waist training corsets, either under or over clothing, to help achieve a different waist shape over time. We invite you to browse our selection by style, fabric or silhouette level to find the corset perfect for you.

In one of the most oddly specific pieces of music journalism to date, critic Harry Sumrall once said that Eddie Rabbitt was "like a hot corn dog: nothing fancy, nothing frilly. You know what you're getting and you like it...never a country purist, Rabbitt nonetheless makes music that is plain and simple, with all of the virtues that make good country good. [His songs] might be brisk, but they are also warm and familiar, like the breeze that wafts in over the fried artichokes."
I'm not sure exactly where the fried artichokes come in, but other than that, Sumrall hit the nail on the head. Eddie Rabbitt's music was wonderful pop-country crossover from a time when country music was earthier and less polished than it is today. Whether he was hitting the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart or wowing the fans in Nashville, his songs were plain and simple – and great.
Fourteen years after Eddie Rabbit's death, we've turned the stereo up for a few of his greatest hits.
In the 1960s and '70s, Rabbitt began by writing songs that became hits for Elvis Presley and Ronnie Milsap, then he went on to begin making a splash on the country charts. But his first big crossover hit was in 1978: "Every Which Way but Loose," from the Clint Eastwood movie of the same name. The single rocketed to No. 1 on the country charts and peaked at No. 30 on the Hot 100.
1980 brought Rabbit's biggest smash hit – "I Love a Rainy Night" rose to the top of every chart it could have possibly qualified for.
Though Rabbitt's later recordings didn't recapture the success of "I Love a Rainy Night" and its album mate "Drivin' My Life Away," his 1990 track "American Boy" excited audiences in the era of the first Gulf War, and Bob Dole used it in his 1996 presidential campaign.

In case you live under a rock, or in case you get your news from MSNBC, the big scandal of the day is that the IRS is targeting conservative and Tea Party groups.
Yawn. This is news? I mean, I guess it is in the fact that it's finally being reported, but no doubt this has been suspected for a long time.
My biggest frustration with all of this is the Democrats. When are you going to start cleaning house? What boggles my mind is that honest, hard working, freedom loving Americans are so loyal to their own party, that they are unwilling to rid it of corruption as it has taken over. I'm sorry, using the IRS as bullies to shut down political opposition (aka speech) during two election cycles is tyranny. There is nothing else you can call it. Sure it's your guys doing it, so you'll look the other way, but you same people screamed foul at W for barely even sneezing!
The Republicans have NOOOO problem jettisoning politicians the moment they are accused of wrong doing, whether or not such accusations are even true. Remember Tom Foley? Tom Delay? Dan Maes? Why can't you Democrats do the same?
Of course, these attacks by the IRS are justified according to Democrat Harry Reid. According to him, because these conservative non-profit groups are sometimes fronted by rich (gasp!) people, they shouldn't be allowed to qualify like the liberal non-profit groups (fronted by rich people). So, let me get this straight, rich people shouldn't have free speech protection? Actually, yes, I've had some liberals tell me, and with all sincerity, they say money should be removed from speech so that it becomes fair. Then they pat themselves on the back for being so freedom minded.
Money does make speech easier, but guess what, it exists on both sides. Need I remind you that Democrats have outspent Republicans on every major national election since 2006? Money is speech and there shall be NO law restricting it!
Other prominent liberals have justified these IRS attacks by saying violent and racist groups like the TEA party should have extra scrutiny placed on them. WHAT?!? I'm confused. Do these liberals really believe that the TEA party is racist and violent, or are they just saying this as a convenient way to quickly demonize and dismiss their opposition? Every time a liberal tries to pin the TEA party as violent, I ask them, based on what? Can you name for me an actual violent incident involving a TEA party member? I can tell you how many times TEA party members have been falsely accused after any number of terrorist attacks, only to be quietly exonerated later. (Gabby Giffords, Aurora shootings, Boston bombings.) Perhaps they only remember the first media accusations and not the later correction?
And the charges of racism? Sooooo… let me get this straight. Smaller government and fiscal responsibility are racist?
This is a tactic often used by dictators. Falsely accuse your political opponent of the worst possible immorality you can think of. (In America, right now, that's the charge of racism.) Then because they are so immoral, you can justify perpetrating whatever injustices against them you want, you know, like IRS harassment. It's how Hitler got an entire German country to turn against the Jews.
What are your values? Forget party allegiance. Take the time to investigate the people on your side and those from the other side. When anyone, Republican or Democrat, engages in unethical activities in order to gain political power, the entire nation should be holding them accountable, not just the opposing party.

The launch of several shops this year at the Paddock Arcade on Public Square has made it a haven for downtown professionals.
They can get a haircut at the Beauty Bar salon opened in July, or eat dinner at Johnny D's Restaurant, which has expanded its hours to stay open during evenings Thursday through Saturday. Buying cakes and cookies with Old World decor will be another option when Europe Cakes opens in December; and at the new eatery Vito's Gourmet, which opened Friday, homemade soups and sandwiches are available on-the-go.
Has the old plaza, built in 1850, made a comeback this year?
"It serves the people downtown all parts of the day," said Donald G.M. Coon III, Paddock Arcade manager partner. "You can get coffee, breakfast and muffins in the morning, and during the day you have four restaurants open. Then after the day's off, you have the bar to go to at the Paddock Club, and Johnny D's open on the weekend."
All 10 spots on the arcade's first floor are now claimed by tenants; there were only three when the building was bought in May 2006 by the investment group Watertown RX LLC from Jefferson County Sheriff John P. Burns and his ex-wife, Watertown City Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns.
"The arcade is kind of an incubator for new businesses, and about half of small businesses are going to fail," Mr. Coon said.
Still, he's optimistic about the current mix of merchants occupying the space.
"It took time to fill them up, but we want to have ten ongoing businesses in there," Mr. Coon said. "All things being equal, fives years from now we'll have the same tenants."
To stay open, Mr. Coon said, tenants will need to stay relevant to the roughly 5,000 people who work downtown.
"That's your first target audience as a new business," he said. "If you can pay the bills and stay open nights and weekends, then you can focus on getting people from outside the area."
Todd V. Tarzia, owner of Vito's Gourmet, said the launch of classy shops at the arcade has shifted the public's perception of the landmark.
"It's starting to get a more upscale, city vibe," he said Monday morning at the store, which faces Washington Street. About a dozen customers sat at tables during the morning at the 1,500-square-foot eatery, where they ordered specialty drinks at a coffee bar, chose from a menu of 10 gourmet sandwiches, or snatched up homemade soups, salads and fresh fruit to go. WiFi web access is also available.
Mr. Tarzia, who grew up visiting stores in the Paddock Arcade, called its current business outlook "trending upward."
But "there are still a lot of people who come in and say they didn't know we're here," he said. "We still have a long way to go."
He hopes the restaurant will appeal to downtown customers by offering zesty gourmet sandwiches they can't get elsewhere, and allowing them to get their food quickly if they need to scoot back to work.
"My goal is to move people in and out and still give them a quality product that's made fresh," he said. "You can pour your own soup, grab a salad, and you're ready to go."
Customers will notice spicy choices on Vito's menu, such as its buffalo chicken soup, or its BLT sandwich that comes with veggie cream cheese.
"I'm trying to jack it up in terms of what you get for flavor," Mr. Tarzia said.
Sandy's Luncheonette, the Beauty Bar, Paddock Club, Johnny D's Restaurant, Europe Cakes, Village Peddler bicycle shop, Steve Weed Productions, Moontide Arts Fashion and Paddock Art & Antiques are tenants at the Paddock Arcade.

CANTON For the second time in less than a year, Eric J. Walrath faces charges for allegedly failing notify authorities of his movements as a registered sex offender in a timely fashion.
Walrath, 34, is last listed as living in Lisbon, according to the states sex offender registry. St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards said Wednesday that probation officials allege Walrath reported to them on April 25 that he was planning to move to Massena on Wednesday with a girlfriend who has two young children.
Walrath was placed on interim probation in October after admitting that he failed to notify officials of a move from one Massena address to another until after the move in July.
Walrath was convicted in 2000 of first-degree sexual abuse for having sexual contact with a child under the age of 11.
Judge Richards said Walrath was obligated to notify probation officials of a move at least 14 days in advance, in order that the court could consider whether to grant permission. He also was not permitted to have contact with children under the age of 17, other than his own biological children, without informing probation
officials. Probation would then discuss Walraths history with the parents of those children and insure that proper supervision was in place.
As well, the judge said Walrath admitted to using, and tested positive for, marijuana.
Assistant District Attorney Jonathan L. Becker said a deal under which Walrath might be offered a misdemeanor plea at the completion of interim probation was off the table.
Conflict Defender Amy L. Dona said Walrath has otherwise reported to probation as required and was working on arranging a chemical dependency evaluation. Judge Richards sent Walrath to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility without bail, where he will be evaluated for chemical dependency. His case was adjourned until May 21.
Im not making any promises, the judge told Ms. Dona with respect to how Walrath might be sentenced.

It's that time of the year when everyone is busy picking up their last Christmas presents and as a treat for being so good, parents are taking their children to see Santa Claus so they can give him their 'wish list'. But as the crowd builds up outside the grotto, something isn't quite right, and as Santa's 'little' helper pushes back the door, the crowd are shocked at what they've seen. Imagine you are the lady with blonde hair to the right and behind Santa's helper and try to imagine what it is looking at – that is what you are puzzling.

Lancing Prep Hove is an independent Nursery, Pre-Preparatory and Preparatory School for approximately 240 children between the ages of 3 and 13.
The Head Master is a member of the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools.
Mowden School, as it was originally known, was founded by Mr B A Snell at Mowden Hall, in Essex, in 1896. In 1901, it moved to Lansdowne Place, Hove and in 1913 moved again to its present site. Mr Edward Snell took over from his father in 1937 and, on his death in 1973, his son, Christopher, became Head Master.
In September 2002, the School passed into the care of Lancing College and the current Head Master, Mr Alan Laurent, took over from Mr Snell. Although the house was purpose built for a Preparatory school in 1913 by Christopher Snell's grandfather, there has been a continuing programme of modernisation and development, with highlights of recent years being a Science laboratory, Art and Design Technology room, ICT rooms and the recent acquisition of a new Nursery.
In addition to two dedicated IT rooms, each classroom has an interactive whiteboard and there is a well-equipped Science laboratory, Art and Technology room and an attractive Library. Spacious sports fields surround the School, which accommodate pitches for all the main games and sports, including an all-weather Astroturf area. Prep school pupils are also fortunate to be able to share the magnificent facilities of Lancing College.
Mowden School became Lancing College Preparatory School in September 2005; From January 2014 it will become Lancing College Preparatory School at Hove.
(formerly Broadwater Manor School)
The Manor of Broadwater is mentioned in the Domesday Book, with the oldest part of the building dating back some five hundred years.
The Diamond Jubilee of the School was celebrated in 1990. Andrew Moy said farewell in 1991, to be replaced by Mr D Telfer, who after six years moved on to a boarding Prep School and in 1997 Mrs Woodley took over as Headteacher and Broadwater Manor achieved its objective of becoming once again a family run school of boys and girls aged two to thirteen.
The opportunity for Lancing College to acquire Broadwater Manor came after it was approached by Mrs Woodley in 2013. There has always been a strong relationship between the two schools, and following Mrs Woodley's intention to retire at the end of that year, Lancing College was keen to explore the possibility of acquiring Broadwater Manor to continue and build on its success.
Following Mrs Woodley's retirement in January 2014, the school transitioned to Lancing College Preparatory School at Worthing under the acting-Headship of the Reverend Roger Marsh, formerly the Chaplain of Lancing College. Mr Marsh was succeeded by the school's current Head, Mrs Heather Beeby, in September 2014.

|A breaded seafood dressing casserole, made with fresh shrimp, crabmeat and eggplant.
Seafood and Eggplant DressingI was introduced to eggplant by my first mother-in-law. Eggplant was something that I do not ever recall my mother preparing, in any form, not one single time ... but my mother-in-law did cook it, and often. One of the ways she often made it, was in a wonderful seafood dressing.
Miss Ursula, that's what everybody called her, has passed on now, but she was a sweetheart. Actually my father in law was too - even after The Divorce, despite the fact that they were a staunch Catholic family, they never treated me any different and to the day they both passed away, they were always kind and welcoming to me anytime they saw me.
I used to love to sit and drink coffee with my father-in-law and listen to his war stories. And let me tell you, he liked his coffee. With chicory and super strong. My mother-in-law used to say you could stand a spoon in it! Didn't bother me - I just poured lots of cream in there and listened intently to his tales, of which he had many. A machine gunner in the Marines during World War II, he was one of thousands of young sailors who saw the American flag raised over Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima. He had fought in many battles though - Saipan, Guam, and Okinawa - and was even recalled to active duty during the Korean War. You would never know that his eyes had ever seen a single war though. He was the kindest southern gentleman you could ever possibly meet, and full of obvious love for his wife.
I will never forget my first experience having dinner at their house when I was dating my ex-husband, because you see, Miss Ursula had a slew of sons and not a single daughter. My ex-husband was 1 of 7 boys. Can you imagine? How they managed to do that between all of his tours of duty is beyond me.
I gotta say, the first time I had dinner at their house, goodness was it crazy! All the way up to Grace, things were calm and the boys were all very well mannered and polite, which I am sure they were warned to be, but at Amen all bets were off! There were arms slinging, and dishes passing, and hands flying and, little ole me, coming from a small family of 3 very quiet children - 2 girls and only 1 boy who was 7 years younger than me - well, I had just never experienced such a thing! I got used to it very quick though, which led to many such meals around that very large table.
I remember the first time that I tasted Miss Ursula's eggplant dressing. I had no idea actually what it even was that I was eating, but it was different and delicious and when I later asked and discovered it was eggplant I was stunned. Having never consumed it before, I guess I really didn't know what to expect from an eggplant, but after experiencing it in a few other ways, that eggplant immediately grew on me.
This is often referred to as a dressing because it regularly shows up as a side dish, usually on Sunday, and likely along with a nice roast. Seems pretty fitting as a casserole to me though ... I mean it's got shrimp, crab, eggplant and bread in it - sounds like a casserole to me! You can also make this with just shrimp, though I love the combination of the two personally. Round this out with a green veggie and a mixed salad and you're in business with a mighty fine meal.
Salting is not always necessary, especially if you have an eggplant freshly picked from your own garden. But, sometimes the seeds of an eggplant tend toward the bitter side, and salting helps to draw out those bitter juices.
My husband, who has an open aversion to nearly anything vegetable, and who would never knowingly touch an eggplant, gobbles this up. I just tell him its a seafood casserole, and he thinks it tastes like stuffed crab. I tell him no different.
If you think this sounds yummy, I'd sure ♥ it if you'd click to pin it, tweet it, stumble it, or share it on Facebook to help spread the word - thanks!

Recipe: Seafood and Eggplant Dressing©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 30 min |Cook time: 1 hour | Yield: About 6 to 8 servings
- 1 large eggplant, peeled & chopped
- 2 tablespoons of kosher salt
- 2 slices bacon, cooked but not crisp
- 2 tablespoons of butter, divided
- 1 stalk of celery
- 1 medium onion
- 1/4 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1 pound of shrimp, cleaned and deveined
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon sage
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, crushed
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama) or to taste, optional
- 5-6 slices of white bread
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 pound of crabmeat
- 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese
- Italian bread crumbs
Peel the eggplant and cut into chunks. Add kosher salt to a large pot halfway filled with water, stir, add eggplant and let soak in the water for 30 minutes, drain and set aside. Butter or spray a 9 x 9 inch baking dish; set aside. Cook bacon until cooked but not crisp, reserving the bacon drippings. Drain bacon on paper towel and set aside.
Place eggplant back into the pot, and add enough fresh water only to cover the eggplant; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and low simmer for about 15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove eggplant to a colander to drain, but reserve the water, setting it aside to cool. To the bacon drippings, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Saute the celery, onion, and bell pepper until softened. Add the garlic and green onion and cook another minute.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, dip the bread into the cooled eggplant water, so that it soaks in some of the water; place it into a colander to drain. Chop the shrimp; add to the vegetables and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, basil, sage, rosemary and Cajun seasoning. Stir together, remove from the heat.
Use a paper towel to press down on the bread and squeeze out most of the excess water. Squeeze the bread in your hands to remove the rest of the water, then add to the skillet, stirring it in well. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Add the beaten egg and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir well. Add the crabmeat and gently toss. Melt the other tablespoon of butter. Turn the contents of the skillet out into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle top lightly with bread crumbs; drizzle melted butter on top of that.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F, 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until bubbly. Remove and sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
Cook's Note: Double for the holidays. Scoop pulp out of eggplant halves, leaving peeling intact, if using this as a stuffing for the eggplant shells.
Tip: To easily pick out any shell, spread crab on a baking sheet in a single layer and place in a 200 degree oven for 3 minutes. The shell will be visible and easy to pick out.

Until a few years ago, Range Creek was a little-known, rugged canyon in a remote part of Carbon County. It is now one of the richest archaeological resources in the nation with many of its well-preserved remains shedding light on the Fremont tribes that lived there between A.D. 500 and 1350.
To provide a present-day look at this ancient culture, "Range Creek: An Anthropology of Place" opens at the Utah Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City on Aug. 12. The exhibit will feature replicas of a granary and a pit house and other interpretive displays to give us a glimpse of where and how the Fremont existed in the canyon those hundreds of years ago. "Range Creek" will be a permanent exhibit at the museum.
The opening day of "Range Creek: An Anthropology of Place" will offer a variety of activities to celebrate the opening of this unique exhibit.
Duncan Metcalfe, curator of archaeology at the Utah Museum of Natural History and the museum's lead researcher Range Creek, will present two talks on Range Creek Aug. 12 at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m.
A storyteller will read stories for children in the exhibit's pit house at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
A flintknapper - one who shapes stone into usable tools such as knives, arrowheads, and spears - will demonstrate the craft. Visitors will also be able to make their own miniature clay pots.
Standard admission rates apply. The Utah Museum of Natural History is located at the University of Utah, 1390 E. President's Circle (200 South), Salt Lake City. For more information, call (801) 581-6927 or visit http://www.umnh.utah.edu/.

I think it's important for very fair-skinned women to pull off a glossy shade when wearing a vivid color. Unfortunately, I don't feel lavender/purple flatters anyone.
