Trends to try, maybe buy:LEAN SILHOUETTE: The look of the season is long and lean, whether it's a column style gown, sheath or pantsuit. Hips are meant to be hidden, so spend plenty of time in the dressing room to make sure pants fall straight from the hip and dresses fall straight from the arm pit. Straight skirts hit the knee, or just above; long bias cut skirts swirl around the ankles; and pants are tapered like they were in the '60s and '70s with a stovepipe hemline that looks best when it grazes the middle of your shoe's heel.TRANSPARENT FABRICS : If you've got it, flaunt it. Otherwise look for clothes with several layers of sheer fabric to give the illusion of sheer, while keeping crepe y arms and flabby thighs under cover. In this category, you'll find fishtail hemlines, which anybody under 5 foot 8 should best avoid.STRETCH APPEAL: First it was polyester, now it's polyester with plenty of Lycra. Think of leotards and swimsuits and decide if you really want to show every big and little ripple. If you've gotta have it, go for polyester crepe or stretchy leggings (get a size bigger so they don't look like tights) and wear with a big shirt or short dress. If you're not top heavy, go for a Spandex tank top under a jacket.BARE ARMS: One shouldered dresses are trendy, but they expose flabby flesh and tend to make you look shorter. Halter tops expose everything, so leave them for the younger, taller, thinner chicks : but try the new sleeveless dresses and blouses. If your upper arms look too bare, cover up with a little cardigan or swingy long jacket and push up the sleeves for a jaunty effect.BRIGHTS: Think of a cruise to the tropics and pack lots of coral, mango, salmon, banana and kiwi. Red remains a classic while lilac is looking edgy.FLORALS PRINTS: Big and bold, flavored with tropical punch or geometrics, so use sparingly.PANTSUITS : Pantsuits are still hot, especially in monochromatic ensembles. Team with leotard inspired tops, big white shirts with the collar open, V neck T shirts and sheer blouses worn over opaque camisoles. Wear thick Cuban heeled shoes to balance a stovepipe leg, or strappy high heeled sandals with the more tapered capri pant.LINGERIE LOOKS: In the movie Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,'' Elizabeth Taylor cools off in her slip, which is now a dress. Too revealing? If it doesn't work for you (or the office dress code), try a black lace edged pastel camisole under your suit jacket, or a completely lace straight skirt with a suity jacket.SAFARI: That out of the jungle look is back again, but this year you're supposed to add a safari jacket with cargo pockets and epaulets, which can be overwhelming on shorter, heavier figures. Consider a khaki colored dress with espadrilles or khaki pants with a white T shirt to show your fashion savvy.EMPIRE SILHOUETTE: This style with the high waist, low cut top and cap sleeve is right out of a Jane Austen movie and fits in with the current trend to romantic dressing, but it's hard to wear. While its Empire waist does make you look taller, it can also make you look lots heavier, especially if you've got a large bustline and hips.NOTICE ME SHOES: The styles of the season are shiny, bright colored and bare. Look for mules, slides and strappy sandals with high, thick heels, including the retro wedge or Cuban styles. While white shoes are back, use caution, as they have shortening powers.COLORFUL ACCESSORIES: A yellow tote bag, a red belt, a lime green scarf tied around your neck. There's a lot of fun going on with accessories, but if you're looking for that long and lean look, the neckerchief is the item for you because it keeps the eye UP, focused on your face. Also look for silver, platinum and marcasite jewelry, big frankly fake cocktail rings, charm bracelets and more of the chokers we saw last year.

The play tells the story of Tom Wingfield, a son longing to escape from his stifling home, where his genteel mother, Amanda, worries about the future prospects of his shy, lame sister, Laura. As the family works hard to survive, the mother struggles to free herself of a dependent daughter, whilst she uses her own fantasies of a glamorous past in the Deep South to keep her own reality bearable. Her son meanwhile tries desperately to keep his own dreams alive. Many have speculated that 'The Glass Menagerie' is more than a little autobiographical, reflecting the characters and themes that populated the playwright's own life, including his guilt ridden efforts to escape his own mother in order to pursue his artistic destiny. Williams also had a frail sister, though some believe the character in the play, Laura Wingfield, references his own introvert nature and obsessive focus on one aspect of life (glass animals for Laura, writing in Williams's case). 'The Glass Menagerie' was first staged in New York in 1945, where it enjoyed a successful Broadway run. In 1950 it was turned into a major motion picture by Irving Rapper, starring Gertrude Lawrence, Jane Wyman, Kirk Douglas, Ann Tyrrell and Arthur Kennedy. The film was subsequently remade by Paul Newman in 1987, this time starring Joanne Woodward, John Malkovich, Karen Allen, and James Naughton. Commenting on the former, which had an implied happy ending grafted onto it, as was the style of American films from that era, Williams said it was the worst adaptation of his work. Other works by Williams that have made the big screen include 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'. The new stage production by Town Hall Theatre Galway and TheatreCorp is directed by Max Hafler, with a cast that includes veteran Abbey actor Maria McDermottroe, with Marcus Lamb (DruidSynge), TG4 regular Sean O Meallaigh (Ros na Rn, Seachtar na Casca, Rasa na Gaillimhe) and Ionia N Chroinn (Moonfish Theatre Co).

The June 9, 2008 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine published by the American Medical Association presented the finding of Harvard researchers that men who have deficient vitamin D levels have a greater risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack) than men whose blood levels of the vitamin are sufficient. Edward Giovannucci, MD of Harvard School of Public Health and his associates reviewed data from men aged 40 to 75 who participated in the Health Professionals Follow up Study, a prospective cohort investigation designed to evaluate associations between the occurrence of chronic disease and diet among male health care professionals who now have been followed for many years. Blood samples collected from 1993 to 1995 were analyzed for plasma 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25 OHD), lipoprotein and triglyceride levels, and diet and lifestyle factors were determined though the use of questionnaires which were given to each of the participants on study entry. Nine hundred participants without heart disease were matched for age, smoking status, and time of blood collection with 454 men of similar age (age 40 to 75) who had fatal coronary heart disease or non fatal heart attack which was diagnosed in the 9 to 11 year period between the time of blood sample collection through January, 2004. Adjusted analysis of the data found a 2.42 times greater risk of heart attack among subjects with plasma vitamin D levels of 15 nanograms per milliliter or less compared with those whose levels were sufficient at 30 nanograms per milliliter or higher. Even those men whose vitamin D levels fell in an "intermediate range" had a 43 to 60 percent greater risk of heart attack compared to men with sufficient levels. Adjustment for a number of factors, such as family history of heart attack, failed to significantly reduce the association. Men with low levels of vitamin D were more likely to live in northern states (where there is less exposure to the sun, especially during winter months), and less likely to be white or to use a multivitamin supplement, among other characteristics revealed by the analysis. Vitamin D as an anti inflammatory agent showing benefit in cardiovascular disease is a possible mechanism of benefit, as cardiovascular disease has been linked in the past to inflammation and inflammatory markers such as C reactive protein, a protein often present when inflammation is present in the body. Other potential mechanisms include protection against type 2 diabetes, inflammation, and seasonal respiratory tract infections (especially influenza), all of which can impact cardiovascular disease mortality. this association is causal, which remains to be established, the amount of vitamin D required for optimal benefit may be much higher than would be provided by current recommendations (200 600 IU per day), especially in those with minimal sun exposure. Thus, the present findings add further support that the current dietary requirements of vitamin D need to be increased to have an effect on circulating 25(OH)D levels substantially large enough for potential health benefits. [25 Hydroxyvitamin D and Risk of Myocardial Infarction in Men. Giovannucci, et al.] Vitamin D and All cause Mortality: This vitamin could help you live longer Low vitamin D levels have been linked with cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a large population based study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine evaluated whether low serum vitamin D levels were associated with mortality in the general population. These researchers studied the association of low vitamin D levels with all cause mortality, cancer, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among 13,331 American adults who were 20 years or older. Vitamin D levels of these study participants were collected over a 6 year period (from 1988 through 1994), and participants were followed for mortality through the year 2000 (12 years). The researchers found that being older, female, nonwhite, having diabetes, a current smoker, and having a higher body mass index were all independently associated with a greater risk of being vitamin D deficient, while greater physical activity, vitamin D supplementation, and evaluating subjects in a non winter season (greater exposure to sunshine) were all associated with higher levels of vitamin D. During a median of 8.7 years of follow up, there were 1806 deaths, including 777 (43%) from cardiovascular disease. Being in the lowest quartile (defined as vitamin D levels less than 17.8 ng/mL) was associated with a 26% increased rate of death from any cause (mortality rate ratio, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.08 1.46). The adjusted models of CVD and cancer mortality revealed a higher risk, but it was not statistically significant. Source: [ Arch Intern Med. 2008 Aug 11;168(15):1629 37.] Vitamin D could add 5 years to your life span. Among many factors that may be responsible for the apparent effect of vitamin Ds on all cause mortality is the effect of this vitamin on telomeres (the terminal end of each gene) and its potential effect on slowing aging. Richards and coworkers examined whether vitamin D concentrations could slow the rate of shortening of telomeres on leukocytes (a marker of aging). Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is predictive of the development of numerous aging related disease, and length of leukocyte telomeres decreases with each cell division and with increased inflammation (more common in the elderly). Researchers measured the concentrations of vitamin D in the blood of 2160 women aged 18 79 years (the mean age of these women was about 49 years) from a large population based study. This study divided the group into thirds [tertiles] based on vitamin D levels, and found that increased age was significantly associated with shorter LTL (r = 0.40, P Source: [Am J Clin Nutr. 2007 Nov;86(5):1420 5.] This information was originally posted at: Beneficial Effects of Vitamin D Dr. Steven Petrosino received his Baccalaureate (BA) degree in both Science and English from Penn State University in 1975, pursued his Masters degree (American Studies) with honors at Penn State in 1977 1978, and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Doctorate in Nutrition from Lasalle University in 1995. program at Walden University (Public Health).

Free Shipping Clearance Sale Nike Roshe Run Woven Men White Black,Nike Roshe Run Men Grey Blue Quilted HOUSTON Everything seemed pretty loosey goosey as the Trail Blazers wrapped up their practice session Saturday night at the Toyota Center. By that, I mean relaxed and carefree. Preparation for Sunday's opener of their best of seven first round playoff series with Houston was complete, and there was a sort of light hearted, devil may care attitude from the Portland players. "I'm excited," loquacious 7 footer Robin Lopez told me as he sat on a bench in jeans and T shirt, which he donned even before the workout was over. "We're all excited. I think we're ready. "It's going to be a great series. It's going to be interesting for the fans to watch this one. There are a lot of intriguing matchups. It's two high powered, offensive teams going at it. And when they want to, both teams are pretty formidable on the defense end, as well." I'm expecting a competitive series. For a while, I was leaning toward picking the underdog Blazers to win. I've decided against it, and I'll spend much of the rest of this column explaining why. It should be a run and gun series. In their four game regular season series, during which Houston won three of four, the Rockets averaged 116 points, the Blazers 109.5. The shooting percentages, though, were very much in Houston's favor in field goals (.477 to .428), 3 point shots (.346 to .324) and free throws (.787 to .763). That latter number is startling given that Portland led the NBA in free throw percentage (.815) while Houston was 28th (.712). Part of the explanation came with Dwight Howard's success (26 for 40, .650) compared to .547 accuracy through the regular season. So if you're thinking Hack a Howard in the latter stages of a close game, don't hold your breath. "He shot them well against us," Portland coach Terry Stotts said. "When I was in Milwaukee, we fouled him and he shot them well. When I was in Dallas, we fouled him and he shot them well. I'm not ruling it out, but it's not a no brainer, either." In their regular season series, Houston owned the boards 47 30 in the first game, but the Blazers hammered them good the last three games. It will be important to continue that trend. The Blazers, incidentally, lead the league in second chance points, while the Rockets are 28th in opponents' second chance points. Rebounding "is huge for us, especially at the offensive end," said Lopez, who set a franchise single season record while averaging nearly four a game off the offensive glass. "Both teams are very potent on that side of the court. Extra possessions means easy opportunities." Aldridge was a beast against Houston, averaging 26.8 points and 15.5 rebounds, and he'll need to dominate second year pro Terrence Jones for the Blazers to succeed. When a Houston reporter began a question by pointing out he hadn't played a bad game all season against the Rockets, Aldridge interjected with a smile, "Don't jinx me." It's Aldridge's fourth playoff series. It's Jones' first taste of the postseason. "I've been here, I've done it, I understand what it takes to win," Aldridge said. "It's going to be more physical. Every possession counts. I understand the magnitude of every game. It's a little easier on me. Playing in the postseason those three years will make me better in this series." But Aldridge knows Houston coach Kevin McHale won't leave Jones out on an island. The Rockets will mix up the coverage, sometimes sending a double team, sometimes using center Dwight Howard to guard the Blazers' captain. "I should have that edge" over Jones, Aldridge said. "I'm older, but they're going to have schemes to double me from the baseline, to front me. They won't let me play one on one." The Blazers will need something more from Damian Lillard than they got during the regular season in the Houston series, in which he averaged 18.8 points while shooting .386 from the field. His battle with Patrick Beverley and Jeremy Lin will go a long way toward deciding the series. Then there is Portland's defense against the likes of Harden, whose numbers against the Blazers are MVP like (30.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists while shooting .481 from the field, .455 from 3 point range and .857 from the line); Howard (25.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, .633 shooting) and small forward Chandler Parsons (17.5 points, 7.0 rebounds). I asked Lopez how Howard stacks up against the most difficult centers to defend in the league. "He's very strong and seriously athletic," Lopez said. "That makes him a bit of a pill. You have guys like DeMarcus (Cousins), Marc Gasol, Brook (Lopez), who are pretty skilled down there. With Dwight, it's a different kind of matchup. It exercises a different muscle." If I'm Stotts, that matchup worries me. So, too, does the duel at small forward between Parsons and Nicolas Batum, who had a sub par series against the Rockets (10.5 points, .407 field goal percentage, .235 3 point percentage). Parson "is the type of guy who just play basketball," Batum said. "That's why he's so good. He doesn't force anything. He doesn't do anything crazy. They don't run a lot of plays for him. We're a little bit kind of the same guy. We're like the third option." But as Batum points out, "with these two lineups, every matchup is a key." Houston finished the season sixth in the NBA in opponents' field goal percentage at .442. Portland started the season in the bottom five in that department but moved up to 11th at season's end at .451. "I've been proud of the improvement we've made defensively," Stotts said. "We've had some lapses at times. We got off to a poor start, but we've made adjustments, and our defense the last half of the season has been pretty solid." The Rockets' defense, though, has Beverley, who will go the full 94 feet defending Lillard. And Howard, who finished only seventh in the league in blocked shots but will have everything funneled to him at the defensive end in the series. "They have Dwight at the rim and schemes that force everything to him," Aldridge said. "But we have our schemes, too. It's going to come down to defense." Funny to say when it's a battle between the No. 2 (Houston, 107.8) and No. 3 (Portland, 106.7) scoring teams in the league. The teams are also No. 2 and 3, respectively, in 3 pointers made per game. The Rockets lead the league in points in the paint in part because of Harden's frequent forays to the basket, in part because of a ton of fast break points. Nike Roshe Run Woven Men White Black Sessions court judge U B Hejib had fixed June 10 for deciding the appeal after arguments concluded a month ago.Advancing his argument against invoking the grave charge of 'culpable homicide not amounting to murder' (section 304 part II IPC), Ashok Mundargi had pleaded that the magistrate's order was "erroneous, bad in law and contrary to evidence on record."The magistrate, he contended, had failed to appreciate that the actor had neither the intention (to kill people) nor the knowledge that his rash and negligent driving would kill a person and cause injury to four others.The offence under this section attracts a ten year jail term and is triable by a sessions court.Khan was earlier tried by a magistrate under lesser charge of causing death by negligence (Section 304A of IPC), that provides for a maximum punishment of two years in jail.However, in a twist to the case, the metropolitan magistrate, after examining 17 witnesses, had brought forth the more serious charge of culpable homicide against the 47 year old actor and transferred it to a sessions court for re trial.Khan's lawyer also filed written submissions on the appeal and made oral arguments.Public Prosecutor Shankar Erande while opposing Khan's appeal said the magistrate had rightly invoked the charge of culpable homicide as he had committed a serious offence.Erande argued that a prosecution witness Ravindra Patil (now deceased), a police bodyguard deployed for the actor's security and accompanying him at the time of the accident, had warned him not to drive rashly as it could lead to a mishap. Yet, Khan did not pay heed and drove at a great speed.The prosecutor submitted that Khan was drunk and his blood sample revealed 60 mg alcohol which was beyond the permissible limit.In another development, advocate Abha Singh, appearing for activist Santosh Daundkar, had urged the court to permit her to intervene in the matter, saying section 301 of CrPc allowed her to assist the prosecutor.Though the actor's counsel objected to Daundkar's plea for intervention, saying he had no locus standi in the matter, Public Prosecutor Erande said he had no objection.Singh alleged that police had favoured Khan by not examining witnesses in the case in the last five years and insisted on the actor's regular appearance.The court would also give its ruling on Daundkar's petition on June 10.One person was killed and four others were injured when the Land Cruiser allegedly driven by Khan crushed a group of people sleeping on the pavement outside a bakery in suburban Bandra in the wee hours on September 28, 2002.About usAdvertise with usTerms of Use and Grievance Redressal PolicyPrivacy policyFeedbackTimes Crest The Economic Times.
