Tapering' is a term used in endurance sports and basically means to reduce an athlete's training load before a major race. Personal experience and scientific research have both come to the conclusion that a period of enforced rest before racing significantly increases the athlete's level of fitness and boosts his performance by an average of 3%. For marathon runners three per cent boils down to being about 5-10 minutes faster over their racing distance.

When asked about the secret to her successes, triple Olympic speed skating champion Yvonne Van Gennep remarked, "There is no secret. It just comes down to training hard and then putting on the handbrake." Van Gennep could not have given a better or clearer explanation, for this allegorical 'handbrake' is precisely what tapering is all about. The term 'tapering' was coined in 1947 by Australian Olympic swimming coach Forbes Carlile and physiology professor Frank Cotton, who discovered that their swimmers performed much better when they eased their training in the last three weeks before competition. It was only much later that this discovery was also used in other endurance sports like running.

The biochemical explanation for tapering is that by resting the body it can recover from the shock of weeks and months of hard training and thus stand the best chance for a peak racing performance. The heavy training undertaken by the athlete prior to the race has assailed and greatly depleted his body's enzyme, glycogen and hormone stores plus impaired the natural resilience or 'spring' in his legs by causing subtle muscle damage. Tapering allows the body to replenish all these reserves and repair its muscle tissues so it can toe the starting line fully recovered and in optimum shape.

For runners a period of tapering can last anywhere from 10 to 21 days, often depending on the length of the ensuing race - the longer the race, the longer the taper. During this period the runner should decreases his weekly mileage by anywhere from 30% to 85%. Although some suggest a gradual decrease in training volume, a scientific study undertaken in 1999 showed that during a 14 day taper a rapid mileage decrease of 50% during the first three days, followed by 75% in the next three days and continued by a steady decrease over the last eight days resulted in the best racing performance. It was also shown that, contrary to popular belief, running during the tapering period should be done at high intensities. Intervals at 5K race pace and fast paced tempo runs are advised.

Runners often shun the tapering period because they are afraid of losing fitness. That this is an unfounded and baseless fear is shown by the myriad examples of great athletic success following a period of non-training. Often these periods of rest were not voluntarily chosen but rather forced upon by circumstances from outside. One such example is the case of Carlos Lopes who won the 1984 Olympic marathon after an accident prevented him from doing any running during the last 10 days before the event. Joan Benoit won the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trial in 1984 after knee surgery forced her to reduce her training just before the race. She attributed her victory primarily to the fact that the surgery had forced her to train less. Later she went on to grab the gold medal in the first ever women's Olympic marathon. Another proof of the tapering formula is the story of how the immortal Czech runner Emil Zatopek became the 1950 European champion in the 5000 and 10,000 metres. Just two days before the event he was released from hospital after an illness had forced him to spend two full weeks there, preventing him from doing any training at all. And Roger Bannister only succeeded in breaking the elusive four minute barrier in the mile and setting the World Record for that distance after he had spent a week of rock climbing in Scotland in which he hadn't done any running.

The obvious conclusion is that resting before racing is a must for any athlete wanting to perform to his or her max. It seems strange that this so often proven, tried and tested strategy is still overlooked by a large number of athletes. Yet less is more - in life as well as in sports.

Chapter Five
The Civil War Ends

Confederate Soldiers in Alabama

It was just down three miles from where the Hightower plantation was, every man who could bear arms was still firm and ready to carry on a new battle, but General Robert E. Lee and General Grant were talking about a surrender; the Confederates were in such bad shape, that in due time General Grant would order rations for twenty-five thousand Confederates. Most of the Confederate Army was enfeebled by hunger, wasted by sickness, foot diseases, from the constant marching, it was more than a hardship it was stifling ((wholly unfit for duty) (formal surrender would come on April 9, 1865, and although the last shot would be fired, it would not come until sometime in May or June)). It now was the first week of April, 1865.

And almost immediately, Charles began talking to everyone that Frank was coming home, and Frank was expected to be coming home soon, and he was down some place in Texas, by the Rio Grande. And he was telling everybody, "It feels to me like it's going to be a good year, the crops look good, and the war is ending and the weather is fine, and we had plenty of cotton-seed."

He was so happy he wanted to go down to see the Ghost, the old man in the last shanty ((in the row of huts behind Josh's)(perhaps do some fixing on his old shelter, he knew sometimes in the middle of the night when a rainstorm came up abruptly, the old man would wake up to find his bed wet, water pouring down through holes in the roof, Ella had heard him cussing a few times at the roof-and mentioned it to Charles-cussing as if it was alive with evil spirits, with evil intentions, but he never asked to stay in any other of the huts, had he, Ella had no qualms of allowing it)), the old man had worked for Charles Hightower and his father for near seventy-five years who was also from the Congo, and had not worked for the last twenty-five years, just sat in that back shed, and never complained to anybody, about anything; how he ate, and what he ate, never coming to anybodies mind, but now, today, Hightower wanted to celebrate and check on his needs, but he didn't go down there, taking advantage of the opportunity, he considered it though, but nothing more.

Chapter Six
Sergeant Frank Hightower

Confederate Negro Soldier

Although the war was officially over, the battles were not. Sergeant Frank Hightower propped his feet and leaned against the rotten wood of the buckboard to wait for the onset of the battle, the battle of Palmito Ranch, fought on May 12th and 13th, 1865 (it was to be the last battle of the Civil War). The battle was fought on the banks of the Rio Grande about twelve miles east of Brownsville, Texas. In the large scope of events following the surrender of Robert E. Lee's Army on April 9th, Palmito Ranch was nearly ignored. This would be the last major clash of arms in the war. A skirmish had killed him, killed Sergeant Frank Hightower. While fighting had stopped for the night, and both sides went for reinforcements, Barrett came with the 62nd United States Colored Troops and 2nd Texas Cavalry; it was one of those bullets that killed Frank. From where Charles Hightower stood, he just couldn't understand any of it. The war was over, the planting was good, the harvest would be good, and a colored soldier on the last day of all the battles to be (perhaps even from Alabama, who's to say), out of the 620,000-soldiers that would die in the Civil War, he was the last of the numbers making it: 620,000; thus, Charles looked stirringly out his window, he couldn't see anything-it was like he was blinded (perhaps in state of disassociating), yet in full view was a new harvest to be, Ella and Emma saw him standing there, there was nothing for him to do now but die, so he felt, Ella was moving towards him closer and closer (remaining in this state of frozen anger) as he held his chest, and dropped to his knees, and tried to catch his breath, and lost all the oxygen to his brain (it was as if a shutoff valve locked up) -becoming unconscious, and hence, never waking up. They had a double funeral that spring.

The Battle:

The Battle near White Ranch

At about 2:00 a.m., May 12th, 1865, the Union forces had surrounded the suspected Rebel outpost (this would be the last battle of the Civil War), known as White's Ranch, but no one was there. Realizing this, the commander of the Union forces had his men rest and sleep among the weeds on the banks of the Rio Grande. Then at around 8:30 a.m., Mexicans on the other side of the river informed the Rebels of the Union force's position. Consequently, this was reason enough for the Union Commander to attack the Confederate camp at Palmito Ranch, this scattered the Confederates. The Union forces were reinforced at daybreak on the 13th, with two-hundred men, and more skirmishing took place-seemingly, both sides forced into a firefight, and on the Tulosa River, Union troops met with Confederate cavalry forces, led by Col. Rip, and fighting continued. The Union forces ordered a retreat ((this was when Sergeant Frank Hightower, of the Confederate Army, was shot and killed) (118-Union forces perished in this battle, unknown account for the Confederates)), although the retreat was orderly and successful in holding the Rebels at bay.

It was said, the Imperial Mexican forces on the other side of the river, these soldiers crossed the Rio Grande into the United States, although they did not participate in the battle, they provoked it (with having shot the first shot in the ongoing battle for the two days), although the validity of this report remains in question.

Chapter Seven
Molly Benton and Ashley Walsh

Ashley Walsh, of Ozark, Alabama

Ashley was very much like her mother Granny Mae Walsh, not at all in appearance though, but in behavior; had you known them both, there was no mistaken it. Granny Mae, told Ashley, Molly Benton was kind of Josh's girl, or at least Josh pretended she was, and Molly, a middle aged slut from Fayetteville, North Carolina, had moved into her little log cabin, some years back, after becoming a free slave over an occurrence in the Abernathy Family, she was paid to move on by and to be quiet of her affair, and with the money she had, she did just that. Pretty and a full woman, and thirty years Josh's junior or thereabouts, he had a liking for her, and you might say, so did Silas (and a few confederate soldiers that visited her apartment in Fayetteville prior to her leaving the city, soldiers her white lover never knew about, by the name of Abernathy), whom was close to thirty and Molly, on top of forty.

She didn't want to marry anyone, just have them run after her, or have someone on the side, lest they marry and she was afraid they'd take what little she had-although she had a lot more than what a lot of black folks had, plus papers to say she was a free woman, no longer a slave. At the moment, Josh was not interested in Molly, rather, Ashley. He did not know what happened to him, but she was too young for him of course, but not too young to understand the things she wanted in life, and how to get them, and Josh had something she wanted.

Josh was in his hut-alone, thinking on Ashley, the doors were closed, it was dark, and Silas was in the barn working, and Jordon was in town working at the store, and Emma and Ella in the house. And there seemed to creep into his body an agonizing feeling of strangulation, Josh thought, this was all something to do with his mind, not his body parts, it was a natural feeling of course, the truth was Ashley had far more sense than her mother, no one knew the man who fathered her, but it was alleged in the black queues of Ozark, and Shantytown and its surroundings, perhaps it was old Shep Hightower: he was smart and shrewd, she must had gotten his inners, Josh thought, and his spirit, inherited them. And by-and-by Ashley was becoming braver, more and more as the days went on-as this day went on, and gradually more fearless of the world around her. She had something they wanted, and she wanted something in return, and it seemed she was willing to barter for it, at any cost-even if she had to sell her soul. The thought of the gold, had gotten to her. Freedom had set in, but there was no freedom if you had to starve to death to keep it, use it. The white man still had his hold on the south, like it or not, like a bulldog to his meaty bone. The dusty black hold was still there; Josh stood up, pushed himself erect from the table and walked outside the door, slowly across the yard, looking at the several old huts, and knowing the old man was in the last one, he must had been a hundred if not more, the Ghost everyone called him.

He crept down the path, and then he saw Ashley, what was she doing there he thought?

Halfway down the path she waved at him, noiselessly he caught up to her, creeping up to her, "Hush," she said, "the old man's sleeping, I brought him some watermelon, nice and fresh on a day like this, you cant feel anything better."

Josh looked at her strangely, and Ashley affirmed, "I didn't tell you no lie about the old man, did I?" she asked. "Go ask him?" Then she whispered something, asked, "Did you hear what I said?"

"What you tell me?" said Josh.

"When you all dressed up on Sunday's and shave, I look at you and say: you sho' Josh is a good looking man. You the best looking man I ever see."

"You think so, Ashley?"

"You sho' is. I reckon the reason why maybe I think so is you most usually looks so wise."

"What does you mama say?" asked Josh.

"She ain't say nothing, but she look like somebody give her a spell of your mind."

Josh spit some wet tobacco out of his mouth, to his left side, wiped his mouth and chin, with his sleeve. His eyes were big as owls, and she grabbed his hand, "Didn't I tell you..." and she hushed up, and they went into the high grass and lay back, and he, Josh grew with enthusiasm, and she asked, "Now will you tell me where the gold is?"

Heretofore, they were in the undergrowth, hidden from the house and the open fields, part of the broom-sedge that had not been cut for farming, and his conscience began to bother him, but it didn't seem to bother her none, and he figured let it bother him temporarily, he could live with it and ask for forgiveness later on, he was hungry for the little tempest, even if it all sickened his soul, his body was roaring to go-and somehow the devil had wiggled his way in, and Josh simply paid him no attention.

Sometimes he and Molly could do this in a few minutes, and at other times it took hours if not days, and he was just hoping it wasn't days this evening, before he was satisfied, and he had to do what he was going to do, that she wanted him to do, before God punished him, otherwise not do it at all, and have to think about it all next week. And she knew if she didn't cooperate, the gold would vanish, if it hadn't already, but knowing Mr. Charles Hightower had died already (and quite suddenly), chances were it was still available for the pickings.

There was now a dead silence, a hollow silence in the high grass, as he lay back he could see the roof of the mansion, and the side porch of his shanty. "Hey!" she said, "you're not as rusty as I thought!" Then he jumped up and left her standing there, putting on her slipover clothing. Silas saw him from the barn for a moment, and saw Ashley walking the other way to the Smiley plantation. Silas stopped working in the barn and waited for Josh to reach him. With outstretched hands they greeted one another, there were no hard feelings.

The Smiley Plantation, Ozark, Alabama

"I don't know son, what made me do what I did, but I did it," said Josh.

"You is only one man, pa" said Silas, "the old snake had his time with me and you both," and they laughed.

"The Good Lord, he's against such things," Josh said. "I gotta be looking out for myself for in the after-life thing, now I gotta get right with the Lord and confess my sins. I done wrong, and Jesus don't take much notice to sinners that keep doing the same sin, over and over, like I do with Molly and you know who else now."

"Hell," Silas said, "you say that every time you come back from Goose Creek after visiting Molly, but you don't never stop going over to Molly's, you just keep asking for the Lord to forgive you."

"I reckon you is right son, let's go get some moonshine so I can lay back and think about this some."

"You smell like you already had a good share of moonshine, pa?"

They started both walking alongside the barn to the shanty, Silas thrust his hand over his paw's shoulder, although he had to lift it a foot or so up to do it, "I guess women folk get hungry, too," he said.

Josh sat down in his rocking chair on the porch, clinging to the frame with both hands, he sat swaying back and forth, rocking, and rocking, and humming an old church hymn.

Chapter Eight
The Fire and Gold

Old Josh sitting in his Shanty

"You clean forgot to see Molly, it seems like," Silas told Josh the following morning. "She's been asking for yaw pa." Josh jumped up from his chair at the table, and hurried on over to the doorway where Silas was standing, and said, "You've been talking to Molly..." then clutched Silas' hand pulling him into the shack, near dragging him.

"Pa you shouldn't be doing that," Silas said.

Josh looked him in the face, he pleaded convincingly enough for Silas not to tell Molly what he had done, lest she up and leave him, if he should.

"I ain't said nothin', and don't intend to pa, don't fret over it," twisting his arm loose, trying to get it away from Josh's grip.

"I've been praying over this matter with the Lord about Ashley," Josh commented. Silas chuckled a bit.

"There ain't' nothing about prayer to laugh about," said Josh, seriously, "we all got to pray sometime, even you Silas."

"I reckon so pa, but you did the wrong, not me." Silas said. Josh put his arms around Silas' shoulder, "Maybe we both should pray son?"

"Hell, I gotta work pa, ain't got no time for prayer now, and gotta do your job as well as mine."

"I know you'd want me to pray for ya, so I'll pray for both of us," said Josh.

The Old Man called Ghost

Josh didn't go down to see Molly; he was tired, and wanted to rest. Neither did he go down to Goose Creek to do some fishing, or to the fields to see his boy Silas. And in the meantime, Ashley had some well developed plans being worked out in her mind: matter-of-fact, they were already worked out, only to be implemented. And that now was in the makings.

It had been for her, one thought led to the next, and the more she thought about what she had to do the easier it became to do it, and waiting for the right time was not on her schedule, to-day was just as good as to-morrow for her, and Mr. Hightower was dead, and Ella and Emma were visiting at the Smiley's (but even at best it was a good while until daylight when she had intentions to leave, or perhaps even this evening if all things work out according to her plan, she was in some kind of night dress and she with a sort of weary remorseless patience, just about worn out herself from thinking and planning and digging inside her nerves then turning the go-ahead button on, and she was jumping ahead of what at one time seemed hopeless, she had really never hoped for, not really and truly, but now seemingly attainable, and available, so why not try and reach it, and this is what she was thinking, and now doing, even if it involved a little brutality). I guess you could say things were going along in an easy way, perhaps too easy, but easy nonetheless, and to Ashley, all the better for it. To her little lifetime, it was now.

Josh had fallen to sleep on the cot by the window-he done prayed so hard so long, and drank so much whiskey, he fell sound to sleep-likened to a hibernating bear; Ashley had crept, tiptoed into his shanty, his room to see ((it was as if she knew he'd fall into a deep sleep, perhaps she had put something in that jug of his, who's to say, but she could have recalled the story Josh had told her earlier on, what had taken place in New Orleans, when Josh got sick and yellowish, after he woke up, and found all his money gone, and perhaps the Ghost had a formula for just that kind of sleeping)(rumor had said, back in the early days, when the Ghost was more youthful, he'd be back in the thicket-the dense stand of trees and tall shrubs behind his hut making voodoo like recipes for magic spells, and potions, etc.)) And then she went down the path that led to the Ghost's shack. The old man, in the shack had gotten ready, having a work to act upon.

In the course of the following hour, Ashley had reached the bedroom of Mr. Charles T. Hightower, pulled back the rug, pulled up the board that hid the gold coins, her sole intention of having all of them but one, her mother in the kitchen, unaware of what was going on-had she known, she might have stopped her, or joined her to go with her daughter to New Orleans, and in either case, Ashley wanted no part of that. And after counting the thirty or more twenty-dollar gold pieces, she wrapped them in a pillow sheet, and returned to the old man's cabin, the undertaking accomplished, dropped a twenty-dollar gold piece on his table, her thinking was now different, and forever would be: she said no goodbyes to anybody, she just up and left-just like that, prepared to find her way to New Orleans-come hell or high-water, she was a free woman, as was ever black man and black woman in America now. And she'd not have to remain hidden, because no one knew it was her, and by the time Mrs. Hightower found out the gold was gone, who's to say when that would be. And who's to say she knew it was there in the first place? It didn't matter one way or the other. To her, it wasn't any sin to take from people that enslaved you and your mother all their lives and made them work for nothing. She came into the world a slave, and that wasn't the way she was leaving. She called it retribution, with a tribute.

Josh Jefferson's Shanty

Josh was still sleeping, and it still was not too late to do what had to be done, Josh was the only one that could point a finger at Ashley, or the Ghost, should the law ask, but no one would believe the old Ghost anyhow plus he was part of the scheme, and he hardly could walk to do what he needed to do, so it would seem to the law-if it came to an investigation, it wasn't him. But he still could hobble forward to the back of the house, take some dry cotton from last years crop (that was left by Ashley for him in back of Josh's shanty) along with some dry blackjack oak -found in the dense undergrowth, nearby, beyond the last of the cabins, and with a lit lantern, he lit it on fire, in hopes that it would burn fast enough to collapse the house onto Josh-while he was sleeping, in that momentary hibernation-and kill him.

It seemed like God sent someone to make sure the harvest went well, but no one to watch that old man, called Ghost. It was late afternoon, the sun was warm, and the air was pleasant. And there was a light breeze, and the old man lit the cotton with his oil lamp and hobbled back to his shanty, and took his gold piece off the table and hid it under a floorboard. The breeze was blowing onto the back of the house, blowing the cotton that was on fire and now the blackjack against the house, and it seemed the devil had cultivated this perfectly; the old wood went ablaze quickly. The fiery, yellow, red and blue flames, went sky high in a matter of minutes, and it was warm and the fire crackled and popped, and sparks from the wood on fire went everywhichway-like lightening bugs, the side of the wall burned upward in a matter of seconds; burning like a crawling snake onto the roof caving it in, and onto Josh below, spinning a heap of wood everywhichway.

The Smiley's saw the fire (as did the visiting Ella and Emma) and so did Silas, the old Ghost didn't come out of his hut; he just sat back on his chair--that was over the floorboard where the coin was hidden, and there he sat, as if someone had turned off a switch, to an engine.

It was not to be realized how fast a fire could spread, with the perfect conditions-it wouldn't take long before the hut burned down to the ground no different than a pile of dry autumn leaves, with Josh in it, looking like a burnt heap, crooked like a fetus. Ashes all about, Even Molly came running from two miles away and by the time she got to the Hightower plantation, it was all over, not much more to be said, and no one noticed the Ghost was gone or Ashley. I reckon no one cared. Molly cried on Silas' shoulder. The only thing left to be seen of the old shanty was the beat-up old brick chimney standing parched-dry to the bone of life, twilight being the only thing that outlined its horn like appearance.

After Silas buried his pa that evening, he went to Molly's house to comfort her, and he'd end up living there. And Jordon never did return back to the Hightower plantation after he gave the elegy for his pa, he stayed in Ozark working at the store living in the back and sleeping on the cot-the very same one he had for years, and the boll-weevils and weeds and Cotton wilt (a fungus plague) destroyed the cotton harvest, and Ella and Emma were left at their mansion alone, as two spinsters. And thus, started the reconstruction era of the south; as for Ashley, she made it to New Orleans and Granny Mae never heard from her again, although rumor said she was doing well, was in partnership with someone in a brothel.

Called the "leine" by the Irish, the chemise started as a simple shirt that was worn under the clothes. In an age where people didn't bathe or launder clothing frequently, it kept body oils and sweat from staining outer clothing. The chemise was usually of cotton or other common material that could be washed more frequently than the more delicate silks of outer garments.

In the Middle Ages, chemises were worn by men and women. As bathing became more commonly practiced, the use of the garment by men has largely disappeared. The descendant of the men's chemise can be found in the modern undershirt that many men still wear beneath their shirts.

Chemises have remained popular with women although not for the original purpose. The modern garment has many purposes, largely depending on the material used to create it. Cotton and satin traditional chemises are still highly used as undergarments for delicate or sheer outer clothing styles. Since these are used under other clothing, they are usually made in colors designed to blend or hide under other fabric colors. Therefore, the majority of the undergarment types are still made in white, cream or black.

Chemise style outer clothing has become in vogue. With the wider choice of fabrics and materials available in modern times, chemises can be created in any combination to suit any woman. From fancy shirts to flirty dresses, the style is fun and comfortable at any age. Plain or embellished, chemises can be seen in any store where fashionable clothing is sold.

When you mention the word, "chemise" to most people, they still think of lingerie in one form or another. This style of lingerie is one of the most widely versatile styles. Depending on the fabrics used, the garment as lingerie can be anywhere from sweet and innocent to ultra-hot and sexy.

Simple t-shirt knit chemises are a lightweight sleepwear option and one of the most comfortable choices. This style can be embellished with ribbon, appliqués, or lace for a fancier look.

Tights and stockings are an essential part of every woman's wardrobe. Sheer natural toned tights/pantyhose complement and finish off the perfect office outfit. Sexy stockings spruce up a special dress for a sensual date, and patterned opaques keep you looking funky and stylish without freezing on a winter day!

But tights and stockings were not always as comfortable or accessible as they are today. Hosiery has evolved throughout the ages, and demand and fashion have dictated style, colour and material. As strange as it may seem now, tights and stockings actually originated from men's clothing. Stockings or Hose became widely available in the 16th century with the invention of the knitting machine. They were most commonly made from wool, luxurious versions were available in silk or cotton, and they were worn by men under breeches. It was not until the early 20th century, that women's fashion changed and it became socially acceptable for women to show their legs.

The invention of Nylon in 1939 revolutionised women's undergarments. As tights were not yet invented, stockings were the garment of choice and industrial advances made them widely available, albeit not during the war. Lycra had not yet been added to stockings so there was not much 'give' to them and they did not stretch. As such, they were available in what was known as 'Fully fashioned', meaning different sizes, to follow the shape of the leg.

By the early 60's Lycra was added to stockings, making them more comfortable and a better fit for the wearer. It was also at this time that in California, Allan Gant Senior developed the first 'tights'. Known as 'pantyhose', as derived from the American 'panties' - a term used for knickers, referring to the opaque section at the top, and 'hose' to refer to the stockings. These 'pantyhose', were literally stockings and knickers sewn together. They were designed to eliminate the need for several different layers of undergarments. Pantyhose production was perfected by the mid sixties, and the product became 'seamless'. This coincided with the rise of the mini skirt. Allowing women were to wear tights, that covered the leg, as a alternative to stockings, which would have been exposed under the short skirt fashion of the times. Tights became the new must have product and the sale of stockings dramatically declined.

In the UK, 'tights' is used as a generic name regardless of weight/texture/denier of the material. However, in America the term 'pantyhose' is used to distinguish tights of a 'lighter' denier. Pantyhose refers to tights which are either seamless waist to toe, or have a opaque section at the top. They are usually available in 'nude' or 'natural' shades. Americans use the term 'tights' to refer to thicker, opaque garments, including those of the woolen variety.

Advances in technology and ever changing trends in fashion, have seen a vast array of tights available on the market. Fishnet, peep toe, thigh slimming, tummy controlling and maternity tights are all available, and they can be purchased in every conceivable colour. There has never been a better time in history to wear or purchased the perfect pair of tights!

The coveted title of 'inventor of Pantyhose' goes to Allen Grant Senior, of Glen Raven Mill, California, in 1959. The inspired idea behind 'pantyhose' was a combination of 'panties', the American term for knickers, and 'hose', referring to hosiery, i.e. stockings. Grant produced these items, which were sewn together, with an opaque nylon top section doubling as knickers, thus eliminating the need to wear additional undergarments. By 1965, the production had been perfected and the garments were now literally 'seamless'. Coincidently, the swinging 60's saw the rise, literally, of the mini-skirt. Women could now wear very short skirts, without the worry of showing off their stocking tops or garter belts. The terms 'Pantyhose' and 'tights' are an Anglo-American point of contention.

In the UK the term 'tights' is used to refer to all 'tights'! A garment that covers your legs from the waist down, encompassing your feet (although recently there has been a renaissance of 'footless tights' for peep hole toe sandals). All tights are not created equal though and, as such, are classified and separated by 'denier'. Denier refers to the thickness of the material, i.e. 10 denier would be light, sheer, see through, whereas 70 denier, would be opaque, thicker and more suitable for winter wear and when one is required to keep warm. The term 'tights' stretches to include even children's woolly tights! In America, 'Pantyhose' refers to what in the UK would be classed as lighter denier, usually up to 40 denier, sheer, transparent tights. Either sheer to waist or often with a opaque knicker-like section at the top. They usually come in natural or nude shades, which means that your legs can look tanned all year round. Pantyhose or sheer tights are often seen as ideal formal work wear. They can compliment any outfit and create the appearance of a more professional finish. In the 90's in particular, Pantyhose or sheer black tights were very popular office wear. Pantyhose and sheer tights can however be extremely susceptible to rips, due to the delicateness of the material.

A handy tip for these 'ladders' (UK) or 'runs' (USA), is to apply some clear nail varnish to stop the ladder spreading further! Americans use the term 'tights' to refer to anything of a heavier material which can also be patterned, or woollen. Tights and Pantyhose are mostly manufactured from nylon or cotton, Lycra is normally included in modern blends to improve fit and comfort. The growth of the industry and the technological developments mean that tights (used in its the generic form) are no longer just to cover your legs, there are now tights that hold you in, hold you up, shape your body, eliminate VPL (visible panty line), that are footless, crotchless, controlling, ribbed and even tights that are caffeinated to reduce cellulite! As fashion dictates, tights now come in every colour and pattern imaginable. Tights have been developed to be tailored to all stages of your life, there are maternity tights, bridal tights, fishnet tights and even glittery tights!

Do I Need To Cure A Bladder Infection-Will It Go Away By Itself?

Bladder infections can be painful and debilitating and many people find that their daily routines are disrupted and frequent sufferers may miss many days off work. It is important to cure a bladder infection fast because if left untreated, in many cases the bacteria will multiply and travel up the ureter into the kidneys and can then become a full-blown kidney infection requiring urgent medical attention to avoid permanent kidney damage.

In all but the mildest of cases, it is wise to take proactive steps to cure a bladder infection. As a rule of thumb I would say if the infection is painful and/or has lasted more than 24 hours you need to be taking action.

Can I Cure A Bladder Infection At Home?

There are various self-help steps you can take to help take the edge off the pain. In most cases, these simple home remedies will not cure a bladder infection altogether but me be helpful in milder cases or until you get hold of a complete cure.

Self Help Steps

* Drink 8 glasses of water daily

* Take a vitamin C supplement to help strengthen the immune system, therefore fighting off the infection

* Use a warm heat pad on the abdomen

* Take a mild painkiller

* Wear only cotton underpants

* Avoid tights and tight fitting clothes

* Drink unsweetened cranberry juice (2 glasses a day)

* Avoid perfumed soaps or shower gels near the vaginal area

* Avoid sugar as this can help bacteria to multiply

* Do not drink alcohol or caffeinated drinks

* Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables

Some of the tips to cure a bladder infection given above will give fast relief whereas others are basically "good practice". One recommendation is to take showers rather than baths to prevent water entering the ureter and pushing the infection higher. However, as a long term sufferer when I was in the throes of a really bad attack, one of the only ways I could get any relief was to sit in a warm bath. So, whilst I cannot recommend this from a medical standpoint-it is something I often did when I used to get regular attacks.

Antibiotics To Cure A Bladder Infection?

Antibiotics used to be the first choice of doctors to cure a bladder infection. Nowadays though there is much concern about "antibiotic resistance" where it has been shown that certain bacteria are able to mutate to avoid being killed off and this is happening more and more. The worry is that eventually, there will be very few antibiotics which are effective. In addition to this, many people prefer alternative treatments wherever possible as the side effects from antibiotics can be very unpleasant.

Fortunately, this is a condition which responds well to natural treatments and there is a guaranteed way to cure a bladder infection completely-eradicating th pain and bacteria very quickly-in most cases much faster than antibiotics.

During pregnancy, comfort is a major priority. Most expectant mothers like to look good as well. The majority of women do not begin to show until they are at least four months along, so you may be able to use your non-maternity wardrobe until then. After four months, however, you will need maternity tops. Baby doll tops and wrap around tops are both functional and fashionable.

Fabrics that stretch and breath are the best to buy. Also make sure you buy tops that absorb moisture as this will help keep you cool during the sweltering months of summer. If you buy a top that irritates you, this can cause itching in the abdominal area and this in turn can lead to pregnancy marks that you do not want.

Baby doll tops are the perfect way to cover your growing waistline without sacrificing style or comfort. With the extensive variety of styles and colors, you can find the perfect match for jeans, slacks or skirts. There are long sleeved and sleeveless versions, as well as every length in between, that are suitable for each season's weather. Baby doll tops usually have an empire waist that seems to float along the frame and adds the illusion of length and slimness to the torso area. It is a fashionable choice that beautifully highlights and flatters the entire frame.

Wrap tops are great for the plus size woman. They are very figure flattering, comfortable and stylish. These tops can be worn during pregnancy and afterwards. Plain colors are more flattering than a top with a complex design. Patterns and designs tend to make one look larger. Cotton blend is the most comfortable fabric as it is nice and airy in the hot summertime. A wrap with an adjustable tie is great when you are pregnant as you can adjust out as the baby grows. You can adjust the tie to be smaller after the baby is born. These tops are appropriate for all occasions such as work or a night out on the town with friends. The wrap top, as the wrap dress is very popular and a must for your wardrobe.

Do not forget the seasons once you start building your maternity wardrobe. If you are pregnant in winter and the winters in your town are very cold, buy yourself turtlenecks that are comfortable but not clingy. Look for one in a dark gray color or black. Once the thermometer starts to rise and the sun is burning brightly in the sky, make sure you have some tee shirts to keep you as cool and breezy as possible. If you like tank tops then purchase ones with wider shoulder straps as the thinner straps are likely to dig into your skin and bother you, as you get bigger.

Can you imagine a time where women live in a world of fashion devoid of stockings, tights, or pantyhose. Granted this wasn't always issue, but there was a time when the tights and stockings were far from the comfortable, form fitting, versatile ones we can go out and buy today. Stockings have endured a long and strange life that began over 400 years ago in Europe. Here are some interesting and fun facts about stockings that you may not know.

Men in tights. That's right, it was men who first coveted this leg hugging fashion. Somewhere around the mid 1500's stockings were knitted from materials like wool, silk, and cotton and were mainly worn by our male counterparts while women still were a little out of the loop.

Women did begin to wear panty hose eventually but for a long period of time silk tights remained something that only well to do women were able to afford and wear.

The major movement in the history of stocking, at least in women's fashion, began as the hem lines of dresses lifted from basically the floor to the ankle. Once women began to show more skin stocking began to become more popular.

Even though women in the early 1900's did wear stockings, it was seldom as a fashion statement. Instead, women's stockings were worn much like we wear bras and panties, that is, they were only worn as part of an extensive undergarment set.


In the 1930 and 1940's when the political and social climate of the world began to change, not always for the best, the hem line seemed to get hirer and higher. This is probably the reason why by 1930's tights were become a wardrobe staple for many women.

The being era of stocking for women marked a time when there were more sizes that just the A B C's that we find in our department stores. Stockings were made from materials that were not as elastic as the nylon we have nowadays. This meant that stocking were often, baggy, didn't fit right, needed to be held up, and came in a variety of sizes. This is also why there are seams down the back of the leg.


Stocking were mainly made from silk or rayon, which is actually artificial silk, this made stockings expensive leaving women with only a few pairs. Since they were not as easily obtained as they are today, many women were forced to "darn" or sew their stocking when they were damaged or ripped.

During World War II tights were expensive and the material was rare (many materials used to make tights were used for military purposes) Since the hemline was around the knee about this time, many women felt they needed to have panty hose to complete their outfit. What did they do? Women who couldn't afford or find pantyhose would use eye liner to draw a line up the back of their legs that would resemble the seam found on stockings.

Think that the ever increasing popularity of tights with designs and prints on them is something new? Think again. Women during the 1940's often painted different themes and motifs on their tights to personalize them.

Sckoon is a new clothing company which has created a huge buzz with its' range of organic clothing - so what are the benefits of buying organic cotton clothes..?

There are two main thrusts to the Sckoon company sales message - the first is that the products are all Fair Trade produced.

This means that instead of the workers just being paid low wages, the profits are *obliged* to go back into local community projects, meaning long term benefits.

This obligation must be met in order to call your products Fair Trade.

The company currently produces in India, Egypt and Japan.

The second selling point is that the clothing is 100% organic cotton.

This means it is grown without chemicals, picked and spun by hand, and either undyed, or only dyed with ecologically friendly dyes.

As a result of this, not only can you feel good because you are helping the poorer communities of the world, you have the natural benefits of organic cotton.

Organic cotton feels great, it feels fresh, and it smells fresh.

It is smoother to the skin, and repeated washing makes it feel *more* smooth, not less, which is what happens to processed mixed cottons.

It's easy to care for, as long as you don't wash it in too high a temperature you can pretty much just wash it all together!

Baby clothes are proving a big success in organic cotton, because of the softness against the babies skin, and to keep up with the environment friendly message, you can get organic cotton diapers, to wash and re-use instead of the disposable ones.

So you can see there are many benefits of buying organic cotton Sckoon clothing, and the company is aiming to mix help to the workers with help to the planet with excellent quality to the customer.

Many companies manufacture dance wear, costumes and fleece warm up clothing for professional ballet dancers and students of ballet. Ballet dancers usually wear either tights or leotards for comfortable body maneuver. The tights worn depend on the type of slippers that the dancer wears. They can be footed with an elastic strap at the foot that is hooked onto the heel. Tights can also be footless ending at the ankle. Ballet tights are made of nylon, micro fiber, fishnet and other materials. Tights come in a variety of colors, with the most popular being pink and black. Most dance schools require pink, footed tights for girls and black tights and white socks for boys. Brand names include Prima Soft, Danskin, Capezio and Mondor.

Leotards are available in a variety of designs and interesting fabrics like ribbed cotton and velvet. Some of the more popular styles include the double-strap or cross-strap camisoles by Capezio, Leo's Dancewear and Motionwear.

There are no specific brands of shoes that schools require but many encourage that girls wear pink and boys wear black or white for ballet. Popular ballet manufacturers are Sansha, Bloch, Grisko, Capezio and Prima Soft. These companies have popular full-soled and split-soled shoes. Capezio sells leather Romeos, split-sole ballet shoes designed especially for men.

Ballet dancing instructors can be strict about accessories, but most allow short skirts to be worn during variation classes, but only at the instructor's discretion. Some allow skirts that match your leotard, such as the Mirella collection that has skirts color coordinated to their leotard line. Some allow for creativity, and students can opt for the hand-dyed look of Watercolour skirts.

Fun accessories include unique dance bags and warm-ups. A popular style with girls and boys is the rip-stop nylon shoulder or messenger bags with cell-phone cases attached and bowling bags, along with the more traditional athletic bags. Jewelry is generally taboo, but girls are usually allowed to wear stud earrings.

Among the widely worn tights that serve various purposes, dance tights are a major category. These tights are part of the costumes and practice wear worn by most dancers. Similar to other tights, dance tights are also skin-tight leg coverings that are worn by the performers from waist to feet.

Although tights were a common men's wear during the Renaissance age, they have now turned into a common dress item for all age groups from infants to adults, both men and women. The only difference is that the purpose of each type of tights varies.

Dance tights are of different types including high gloss tights, shimmery tights, opaque firm fit tights, supplex tights and convertible tights. They are available in a wide range of blends as well as colors and sizes suited for all ages.

Dance tights are made of different materials including nylon, lycra, and cotton, but the ones made with a blend of cotton and lycra are the most durable, opaque and thick. These tights are stretchable and comfortable for the dancers to wear. Cotton-lycra dance tights have flat finishes and absorb perspiration.

Dance tights of different material have individual specialty such as nylon-lycra, which offers moderately shiny and stretchable tights, while stretch vinyl dance tights are extremely shiny, heavy and tight fitting. Tights made of micromesh are most often used for stage costumes. The dance tights made of luxury velvet are beautiful and soft to touch.

Dance apparel shops offer dance tights for children, girls, boys, teens, ladies, and men. The online dancewear shops provide a wide range of dance tights for both men and women.

With a little ingenuity, it is not that hard to create a Superman costume out of the materials you have at home. First it is important to get an idea of what you are trying to make. Gather some sources that you can refer to later when you might have a question on what might work best. Overall, from head to toe, you will need a blue long-sleeved shirt, a red and yellow 'S' logo for the front, red underwear, blue pants, red stockings, and a red cape. You might be thinking that some of these things are nowhere to be found in your house. Just take another look around.

A blue shirt shouldn't be too hard to find. It can be a coat, turtle-neck, pajama top...the list is pretty extensive. Don't restrict your thinking to your personal wardrobe either. Don't worry if the shirt doesn't fit exactly because it will mostly going to be covered by the red cape.

Moving onto the logo, this can be made with masking tape, construction paper, computer print out or an iron on patch. Referencing one of your pictures is important to make sure that you have the right colors and pattern to your design. Once this has been fastened to the shirt you can move to the next step.

Pants really should be another easy quest. The same rules apply to the pants as did the shirt. It looks best if they are snug so thermal underwear, your sister's tights, or stretchy pajama bottoms might work well. Cotton is usually the warmest and most comfortable. As for the red underwear and the belt that cover the waist, I would suggest using your own clothing... just a thought.

For the feet, if you have a pair of red boots or shoes, that seems to work best. Red sparkly or slick stockings might work as well, depending on where you will be wearing the costume. A cape can be formed by using a red sheet, towel or blanket. Become resourceful. Anything that is white will work for you as well because the wonderful power of fabric dye can fix just about anything if it is of the right material. Thinking outside the box withholds the key to creating a wonderful Superman costume out of things you already have at home.

Have the winter blahs got you down? Are you ready to add a little zazz to your wardrobe? If so, it's time to lift yourself up and climb aboard the latest trend in hosiery: coloured tights.

That's right. Coloured fashion tights have replaced stockings and pantyhose as the legwear of choice for fashionistas who want to pick up the pace and add some drama to their outfits. The choices are endless, so you can rest assured that you can find fashion tights that you love. Let's look at some options:

Fabrications for Every Occasion

Tights come in a wide variety of fabrications. Merino wool tights, for example, are perfect to keep your legs warm on a chilly winter's day. Pair your wool tights with a short wool dress and a thin belt for a fashion statement that's both stylish and comfortable. Cotton tights have a variety of textures, depending on the manufacturing process. They can feel like velvet and go from work to evening with ease, or can be luxuriously thick to keep your legs protected from icy blasts of wind. Tights made from a blend of denier and lycra have the wonderful smoothness of microfiber with the perfect measure of opacity that makes them an excellent choice for work or for a night on the town.

Colours for Every Mood

When it comes to coloured tights, your choices are limited only by your imagination. From classic black to classy off-white, from chocolate brown to grape purple, from mustard yellow to slate grey, tights come in dozens of colours. In fact, the trend this season is to buy tights in virtually every color available, and use them as a wardrobe accessory. Want to kick that little black dress up a notch? Pair it with red tights and a skinny red belt and watch heads turn. If you're not quite ready for startling contrasts, go with the tone-on-tone look and pair moss green tights with a moss green skirt and sweater. Or choose complementary colors for a put-together look. If you're on the shorter side and want to appear taller, choose lighter coloured tights; if you want to lengthen your torso, opt for darker coloured tights. Whichever way you go, your choices are endless.

Kick Around Some Patterns

This season, the fashion story isn't only about colour - it's also about pattern. Make a funky statement with polka dot tights, red gingham tights, or give your legs a splash of color with a sumptuous pink and blue floral pattern. Want a look that's slightly more subdued by that still makes a statement? Go for tartan or argyle patterned tights.

Of course, there are occasions when you might prefer holdups, thigh highs, a beautiful silk stocking, or even a body stocking, but for the sheer fun of it, you should treat yourself to coloured tights. Winter seems much less dreary when you have some fun with fashion!

There are a range of items commonly worn by dancers and known as dancewear. The types of dancing covered by the term dancewear include ballet, urban dance, and tap dancing. Dancewear items are also worn by other types of performer, such as acrobats, circus performers and some rock musicians. Certain types of dancewear have also become popular as fashion items with the general public.

Ballet shoes, also known as ballet slippers, are well known items of dancewear. Made specifically for the purpose, they are soft to the touch and light in weight and colour. They are in fact a precursor to pointe shoes, which are specially designed to allow the dancer to stand on their toes. Ballet shoes are worn by trainee ballet dancers until their feet and toes are strong enough to allow them to stand 'en pointe' meaning on the tips of their toes. Then they graduate to pointe shoes, which are also known as 'toe shoes'.

Pointe shoes tend to be worn by female dancers for dancing on the tips of their toes. This type of dancing is one of the classic attractions of ballet and demands great skill and strength. While female dancers normally wear pointe shoes, male dancers use this item of dancewear only occasionally, for specific roles.

Tap shoes are worn for tap dancing which is a highly rhythmic and percussive dance form that originated in North America in the nineteenth century. These items of dancewear incorporate small metal plates in their heels and toes. These are used to make rhythmic tapping sounds on the dance floor. So in addition to being dance shoes, tap shoes are musical instruments like castanets or drums that are 'played' by the tap dancer.

Tights are a popular item of dancewear. They are a form of light, tight trouser that fits closely to the body and are made from thin, stretchable material. They are ideal for dancing for many reasons. They accentuate the legs, show the feet, and give freedom of movement. Tights are usually made of nylon, cotton or lycra, or blends of these materials. Tights can be footed, unfooted, or with a stirrup to keep them from rolling up the leg.

Legwarmers are like long footless socks made of wool-type fabric, and are used by dancers to keep their calf muscles warm and so avoid strain injuries to their muscles, ligaments and tendons. This is another item of dancewear that has become a fashion item with the general public.

Leotards are one-piece items of clothing that cover the body but not the legs. Skin-tight and usually worn with tights, leotards can be long-sleeved, short-sleeved, or without sleeves. They were made famous by a French acrobat of the same name who was born in 1839. Leotards are popular dancewear items, used both as practice garments and performance costumes.

Unitards are like leotards and tights combined. They cover the legs and sometimes the arms too. In addition to being a popular item of dancewear, unitards are also worn by rock stars, wrestlers, circus performers, gymnasts and acrobats.

A tutu is a skirt worn by ballerinas for ballet performances. Tutus that stick out horizontally are known as 'pancake' tutus, and need to be carried in a special round bag to keep them in their correct shape. Other types of tutu can hang down, and these can be carried in normal clothes bags. Both pancake tutus and hanging tutus can be made in single or multiple layers.

All of these dancewear items can be bought online, where you can browse the items you are interested in. Whether you are a professional dancer or a student, you will find something to suit your needs and there are many good deals to be found.
