DENISE Welch's fiance is set for a saucy stag night . . . her drag queen dad has offered to put on a show! 

The former Coronation Street star will wed toyboy Lincoln Townley later this year in a sun-kissed ceremony in the Algarve, where her former husband Tim Healy will be among a select group of guests with his partner Joan. 
Before the nuptials take place Lincoln, 39,Pick-up gown and Denise have their stag and hen nights to organise. 

While Denise, 54, will have no less than THREE hen nights, Lincoln is said to be planning just one special lads' night . . and her actor dad Vin has offered to make it extra special by putting on a show Lincoln will never forget – a pole dance from his drag queen alter ego. 

The popular performer is well versed in how to put on a show too, having starred in the Channel 5 show Celebrity Wedding Planners last summer, in which he gave a shocked young groom the shock of his life by squeezing into a tight mini dress and heels to join a group of strippers to perform a pole and lap dance. 
Some of Denise's earliest recollections are of her dad donning a dress, wig and lipstick to become Raquel Welch for a giggle at parties – and he once dug out the frocks for a Sunday Sun fashion shoot. 

"I certainly hope to go to Lincoln's stag night – it depends where it is but I'm sure I'll get an invite," said Vin, 75, of County Durham. 

"Perhaps I could do a bit of pole dancing for him? 
"Last week we all went out in London after the Run For Your Wife film premiere and the taxi back to the hotel went past the club where I danced with the girls for the Celebrity Wedding Planners TV programme.Beautiful Fit&Flare Wedding Dresses 

"I forgot I could have gone for a pole dance. I would have loved to have gone in to see them all again. 

"Denise I think is going to have three nights out. She's going to have one with her friends in Cheshire, one with her friends in London and one with her Portugal mates because they've got a group of friends there too." 

It's all go for Denise right now, who in between planning her nuptials is also getting ready to tread the boards once more. 
The former Waterloo Road actress is taking a sabbatical from talk show Loose Women from next week, to join the cast of Smack Family Robinson, a black comedy also starring Keith Allen. 

Denise thoroughly enjoyed returning to stage last year when she toured the UK with Steel Magnolias, and her dad says she's very excited about her latest curtain call, at the Rose Theatre in Kingston. 

"She's really trying to get back into stage acting, she enjoys it," said proud dad Vin, who performed in pantomime at the Empire Theatre Consett this year.

"Denise will be in Kingston for a couple of months with Smack Family Robinson, which is directed by Richard Wilson, and I'll go along to see her. I'm looking forward to it." 
Earlier last week Lincoln was taken to hospital suffering from a suspected heart attack, but he's now been discharged from hospital and doctors are satisfied that he didn't suffer a cardiac arrest. 

Vin,cheap mother of the bride dresses of County Durham, said Lincoln was only kept in the Cheshire hospital near to the home he shares with Denise for observation, and was out the next day celebrating his son's 21st birthday. 

"He's fine now and as far as I know they won't be doing anymore tests – they're happy that he's ok," said Vin. 

"They don't really know what it was, it was just a funny turn. 
"While they were in hospital Denise called me to say he was all right, and she sent me a photo that showed Lincoln sat up in bed,Off-Shoulder Wedding Dresses happy and smiling. 

"All tests came back negative, so hopefully that's the end of it.La Femme dress 
"I suppose there is a lot of stress in organising a wedding . . .maybe Denise had just told him about her three hen nights!"

The pictures of a pregnant, bikini-clad Duchess of Cambridge that caused such a fuss are on show in this week's Woman's Day, but Keisha Castle-Hughes' Valentines Day wedding is the magazine's biggest splash of the week. 

Castle-Hughes, 22, married Base FM DJ and graphic designer Jonathan Morrison, 25, in glorious sunlight in the grounds of a reconstructed sawmill at Kumeu Valley Estate. 
She wore "a stunning, figure-hugging,Beautiful Favorable Wedding Dresses champagne-hued Liz Mitchell dress", and looked "show-stopping". 

Morrison said: "I couldn't believe how beautiful she looked." In honour of the big day, he had shaved his beard for the first time in years. 

When it came to Kate Middleton and her baby bump, the magazine ignored the furore that surrounded publication of the pictures.long sleeves wedding dress 

Rather, Woman's Day reported Kate and husband Prince William were "happy to be out and about on the public beach" on the tiny Caribbean island of Mustique.
"Unsurprisingly, all eyes were on a bikini-clad Kate, with many onlookers abuzz with chatter about her curvier physique." 

A local who stopped to chat to the duchess was quoted: "Kate said she loved the feeling of being pregnant and how it's transforming her body". 

Younger sister Pippa Middleton,Foral gown who was staying on the island at the same time, is also shown in a bikini. She was photographed holding hands on the sand with new boyfriend,faux fur wraps banker Nico Jackson. 

"Pippa has been seeing Nico for three or four months, and what started as a romance built on chemistry and friendship has become serious very quickly," a source close to the royals said. 

New Zealand Woman's Weekly has a different take on the Kate pictures, saying the "sneaky" photos had left Prince William "distraught". 
"The anxious father-to-be is now terrified the continued intrusion into their private life will escalate to disturbing levels once their baby is born." 

The Weekly also reports that Hollywood stars Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are planning to move in together. They celebrate their first anniversary next month. 

Kunis had been staying at Kutcher's Hollywood Hills home since December while her own home was being renovated, but now Kutcher's flatmate was moving out, she was planning to shift in for good. 

But not everyone was convinced the relationship would last,Rina di Montella 1520 with a US magazine reporting Kutcher may already be cheating, based on a picture of Kutcher in his pyjamas. 

In New Idea it's Kourtney Kardashian who does the main bikini wearing. 
She is pictured with long term boyfriend Scott Disick at the beach on holiday in Mexico. 

"Known for their incessant bickering", the couple "looked a picture of happiness", the magazine reported.

Prom is a rite of passage nearly every high school junior an senior looks forward to. But in today’s sluggish economy, some students just don’t have the means to make the party.Shop the latest Off-Shoulder Wedding Dresses on the world's largest fashion site. 

That’s where Tajuanna Mack comes in. The former Villa Rica High School teacher has started a nonprofit organization to help send as many local kids to prom as possible. 

"In 2009 my youngest son was going to prom and his girlfriend couldn’t afford a dress or anything related to it," said the 

Carrollton resident. "Someone had given her a short dress, I had bought him a nice suit and forgot she was wearing that. So I went to a close friend and found her a dress and did her makeup and hair. She was so appreciative, she cried when it was all over and I thought someone should be helping other kids who can’t go." 

Now formally titled "The Prom Queen Project," Mack’s effort has grown every year since it began. In 2010 she had six people sign up, 2011 saw 16 participants and last year there were 26. She is still taking applications for this year. 

"They have until March 1 for the April and May proms," Mack said. 

The deadline for Bowdon High School was Friday. 

The program is needs-based. Mack often works with school counselors and social workers to help determine need. Prom Queen Project is open to students at all six Carroll County high schools. 

Mack gets donations from friends and family, former teachers and former students. Dresses often are donated or purchased from Goodwill, even old wedding gowns have become part of someone’s special prom. 

Donations come in year-round, but Mack will be extra busy in the next two months. She tries not to turn anyone down and sometimes struggles getting enough donations. Mack often does hair and makeup herself and fixes a dozen or so heads of hair on prom days. 

"One of the girls said, ‘What you did helped me so much. I’m so appreciative of what you did. If you hadn’t done this for me I wouldn’t have been able to go.This Off the Shoulder cocktail dresses features in great Taffeta.’ It was a student who lived in a group home." 

Today, Mack works in an assisted living facility, and said this project is both per passion and a way to stay connected with high school students. She always enjoyed prom season in her teaching days and still does now. 

When Mack taught, she would often hear students say they weren’t going to prom because they didn’t want to. But in the hallways, she’d hear them say it was because a parent was out of work, or sometimes their friends would tell her. 

"Prom is expensive," Mack said. "It usually costs at least $300 for the night. The prom dues are from $75 to $125. The dress can be $200 or $300, the hair, all of it is expensive. When I started this in 2010 there were no jobs around, people were getting laid off, some kids couldn’t even afford clothes to wear to school, so I knew they couldn’t afford the prom." 

Mack feels the prom is important because it’s a rite of passage to say that you’ve made it through your 12 years of school. It’s one of the last hurrahs before a phase of life ends.Here you can take your pick from a wide selection of a-line dress. 

Donations to Prom Queen Project come in many forms.Beautiful Fit&Flare Wedding Dresses The charity accepts cash donations, dry cleaning,Looking for a cheap mother of the bride dresses? restaurant cards, hair services, nails, photographers and clothing for both guys and girls. Girl-oriented donations come in often, but clothing for the guys is much harder to come by. 

"My donations are very limited as far as guys’ attire," Mack said. 

The program is open to high school juniors and seniors, with seniors taking priority. Right now the program is needs-based, but Mack hopes to one day make it available to everyone. 

"My ultimate goal is to be able to service whoever needs it," said Mack. "In the next few years that’s my ultimate goal. If you want to go, put in an application and you can go."

An Orangeburg jewelry and consignment store has reopened at a new location a month after closing. 

Carolina Consignment, formerly Avinger’s Jewelers, opened Feb. 11 at 1557 Carolina Ave. at the former medical office of Dr. Lawrence Thackston. 

“The overhead was so high,” owner Susan Avinger said about her previous location at the Orangeburg Mall. “My overhead is so much lower in the fact that I purchased this building and the house payments are cheaper than my rent was.”

FROM the 12 million dress to the 322,000 wedding venue, couples with cash to splash aren't short of options. Now brides-to-be with Petra Ecclestone tendencies have a new way to lavish money on their wedding after a cake worth millions was unveiled ahead of The National Wedding Show.

Have you ever had the feeling your computer is watching you? That somehow it knows what you were looking at yesterday, or last year? And that rather than being your technological “friend” it behaves more like a slick second-hand car salesman? 

You fancied flying to Paris so you checked out airfares... and before you knew it, your Facebook page was plastered with advertisements for hotels on La Rive Gauche. Your daughter bought a record by One Direction. Now, the family computer is bombarded with ads for boy band concerts.Anne Crabtree, a 32-year-old writer, knows exactly how this feels — because it almost ruined her wedding day. 

“I had used the computer to help me find my dress, shoes and jewellery, but obviously I wanted to keep them secret,” she says. “But adverts featuring them kept popping on to the screen when my fiancé was in the room. 

“Time and time again I would have to slam my computer shut to stop him seeing the dress I was wearing on the big day. By the time we actually got married, I was a nervous wreck.” 

At least Anne managed to carry her secret with her until the ceremony; others haven't been so lucky. A case emerged recently of a man who bought an engagement ring on the internet, only to have his surprise ruined when his girlfriend received computer ads for rings when she logged on. 

Then there was the case of a secretly gay man who had been browsing for information about his local gay scene. His computer later “outed” him when a colleague using it was sent ads aimed at gay men. 

So why does this happen — and, more importantly, how can we stop it? 

It is all because of something on your computer called a “cookie”. The origins of their name are unclear, but cookies are vital to the running of the internet. When you visit a website, that site places a unique cookie on your computer so it recognises you when you come back. It allows the website to remember your login details and other pieces of information to save you entering them again and again. 

If, say, the site offered up weather information, it might remember that you were interested in conditions over a particular town, and so on. 

These devices — known as “first party cookies” because they involve an exchange of information only between you and the site — make shopping on the internet possible.Work a crowd in this evening gown from chapel train gown. If you shop for groceries over the internet, for example, cookies allow you to update your shopping trolley day after day, returning as you remember to add new products before moving to the virtual checkout at the end of the week. 

And cookies can remember your credit card details to save you having to enter them over and over again. So far, so good.Beautiful The Latest Wedding Dresses 

Problems arise when advertisers get involved. You may think all the websites you visit as you use the net are free,i see alot of pageant dress but wondering how this works. but they aren't. In return for using them you automatically part with slices of information about yourself that can be used to send advertisements to the pages you look at as you surf. 

This is why Anne was bombarded with all those wedding dress advertisements after spending time looking for her wedding outfit on the internet. This happens because of “third party” or “tracking” cookies. These are placed on your computer by companies who profit from finding out what interests you or what — from your searches — you are looking to buy. 

These companies — they could be household names like Google or others you have probably never heard of, such as Math Tag or Criteo — use this information to send targeted “behavioural” advertisements to you. They rely on vast networks of retailers who allow them to send their cookies to you each time you visit their websites. 

These information-gatherers argue that the data they collect about you is anonymous and they don't actually care who you are — only that they are sending you adverts they think you need. 

A recent investigation found that innocent visits to the websites of companies such as Tesco or Debenhams resulted in dozens of third party tracking cookies being placed on the hard drives of computers. During one 15-minute surfing period, one investigator's computer was inundated with 600 cookies, 350 of which were the tracking variety. 

Theoretically, you can stop these by adjusting some settings on your browser — the programme that allows you to surf the net, such as Internet Explorer. 

However, some users find these settings don't always work or are sometimes sidestepped by unscrupulous trackers. Last month, a class action lawsuit was launched against Google in the UK when it was discovered it had secretly placed tracking cookies on to Apple computer and iPhone users who were browsing with Safari — an Apple browser that boasted of automatically blocking third party cookies. 

The lawsuit alleges Google deliberately found a way around this protection while telling users all its tracking cookies would be blocked by Safari. 

“So on the one hand Google told users their surfing habits would not be tracked because of the Safari protection, and on the other hand they had people at Google actually writing programming code that would undermine Safari's cookie protection,” says Dan Tench, the partner at Olswang solicitors leading the class action. 

“That is an invasion of privacy and a breach of European and UK data protection legislation. Google has already been fined $22-million by the Federal Trade Commission for doing this in the US.A off shoulder dress is the most formal female attire for social occasions.” 

Google declined to comment on the case. So far, just over 100 people have joined the British class action (among them, the man whose wedding proposal was revealed and the gay man “outed” by his computer). 

Under EU legislation introduced last year, the home pages of websites are supposed to flag up the fact that third party cookies may be placed on your computer if you view further. The problem with this is you generally have to agree to accept cookies if you want to use the site. And many people have no idea what cookies are anyway. 

In the UK, spending on internet advertising is expected to top 5-billion this year. The problem for the industry is that if everyone blocked tracking cookies, manufacturers would stop spending on ads because they could not be directed at the people they are targeting. In turn, websites wouldn't make money from advertising and all that “free” stuff would suddenly disappear. 

Some argue the internet itself would die from a lack of advertising income. 

“If you accept that advertising funds the internet — and we find that consumers do understand that — then you have to realise you are going to get ads as you browse the web,” says Nick Stringer, director of regulatory affairs at the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB), which represents 800 companies working in digital marketing. 

“Our argument is that you might as well get advertisements for products and services that you are actually interested in.” 

It might not be an argument that cuts much ice with Anne, who says she had a wedding day to remember, no thanks to those pesky cookies.Wanna to buy the newaffordable one shoulder wedding dresses now?

February is National Wedding Month, and as a soon-to-be-bride, wedding planning is definitely on my mind this winter! As one of the most important days of your life, your wedding is the perfect place to show that you’re serious about environmentalism, and hopefully to inspire some of your guests to live a little greener, too.lace wedding veils Let’s take a look at 15 great ways to throw an environmentally friendly (and cost-effective) wedding. 

The Dress 

When it comes to wedding dresses, there are ton of great options that will be easy on your wallet and the environment. 

1. Nearly all grooms rent tuxes, but did you know that it’s also possible to rent wedding dresses? Renting your dress will save you some of the stress of shopping and give you the comfort of knowing that all the materials and labor that went into the dress will benefit multiple brides. 

2. Hit the thrift stores. Vintage dresses are in, and the best place to find them is your local thrift store, where you can score a classic dress for less than $100. 

3.Asymmetric neckline dress Recycle a dress. Does your mother or sister still have her wedding dress? Do you have a white dress that could be remade to look bridal? Even if the dresses you have around don’t exactly match your vision for your wedding dress, the magic of alterations can turn practically any garment into one you’d be proud to wear down the aisle. 

The Ring 

4. The mining of gold and other precious metals is destructive to the environment,Beautiful Bridal Dresses so consider using recycled gold for your wedding ring. You can even take a piece of outdated gold jewelry that you already own and have it melted down and re-shaped into a ring for an even more personal touch. 

5. Consider buying wooden rings. The art of crafting beautiful, durable wooden rings is becoming more popular, and the rings use such small amounts of wood that a craftsman could make hundreds of rings out of one tree. You can choose which type of wood you would like to have, request inlays and engravings, and even have precious stones embedded in the wooden bands. 

6. Get a tattoo instead. This option isn’t for everyone, but if you tend to lose things, dislike wearing jewelry, or work in a profession where wearing a ring could be hazardous, a wedding ring replacement tattoo may be perfect for you. 

The Invitations 

7. Use recycled paper for your invitations — either post consumer recycled paper, or paper that you already have lying around; perhaps double-folded newspaper with a piece of recycled cardstock glued inside, or postcards that you have never used. 

8. Go paperless. E-invites are more popular, and personalized, than ever. And you won’t have to worry about them getting lost in the mail! 

The Ceremony 

9. Consider forgoing traditional programs. Most people toss them in the trash as soon as they get home. If you will be singing hymns or reciting scripture during your ceremony, try to stick to what’s available in the hymnal at the church and use that instead. 

10. Think carefully about your flower choices. Greenhouses use a lot of resources to provide us with fresh,off shoulder dress colorful flowers all year round. Try to cut down on the amount of flowers you’ll use, and think about what is in season and what can be grown locally instead of shipped in. 

The Reception 

11. Keep the travel to a minimum. Choose a venue that is local to most of your friends and family to cut down on transportation. Choosing a venue where you can hold the ceremony and the reception is even better, so that people don’t have to travel in between and can enjoy your wedding from start to finish in the same place. 

12. Choose a venue dedicated to going green. There are more and more event venues that are eco-friendly — and they advertise those choices to attract brides just like you. Being conscious of where you hold your venue can ensure that your reception won’t be over-catered and that no plastic plates or tableware will be used. 

13. Consider a low-meat or meat-free menu. Meat is not essential to a tasty and satisfying meal. Work with the your caterer to brainstorm a delicious, environmentally-friendly menu. Focusing on local and seasonal ingredients is also a plus! 

The Honeymoon 

14. Keep it close to home. Staying local cuts down on travel costs (budgetary and environmental). 

15. Consider eco-tourism.2013 wedding dress Would you enjoy spending your honeymoon learning about other cultures and providing service to people in other countries? Eco-tourism in South America and Africa is widely available for those ready for a post-wedding adventure.

Naomi Campbell is on The Face and that's the reason you should be watching it. You know why? Cause she throws cell phones at assistants and she's the ultimate model diva. Miva. Mova? 

You get it. But there are good reasons to watch it other than waiting for that sweet Naomi Campbell outburst – the clothes, the makeup, the chance to watch girls' dreams get crushed, solely based on their face, body, and the way that they walk. Getting to oggle host Nigel Barker in all his fabulousness (let's be honest, he was the best part of America's Next Top Model). You also get two other lovely models, Karolina Kurkova the Czech powerhouse model and quirky Coco Rocha (real first name Mikhaila; still wins coolest name ever contest). 

This ain't no America's Next Top Model. All they (the contestants) wanna do is be The Face - which means competing in model events, under the careful mentoring and grooming (get it?) of their established model coaches. Then, the winner ultimately becomes a signed model and spokesperson for Ulta Cosmetics. But, you see, Naomi Campbell, Coco Rocha, and Karolina Kurkova are competing as well. They need to pick the right girl to be on their team; the one who will make it to the end and be crowned the model winner. Just like being lined up to be picked in gym class, the hopeful competitors strut their stuff in order to be chosen by one of our fabulous supermodel judges/coaches. 

The open casting call has our model-hopefuls running like they're in Pamplona to impress the producers Nigel Barker in order to be considered for the original 24 – to be fatefully whittled down to the final 12. We get short introductions to the contestants, including one who absolutely loses it when seeing Naomi, then subsequently gets judged by America. Once the 24 are picked by whatever means are deemed good to make a modeling show, the ladies are thrown into their first “challenge”. Boom – no makeup, one-shot picture. Ready, go! Our judgey couture gowns are on! See, you can't Britney Spears your way through the casting call (that's a lip syncing reference). You gotta be on point, a natural beauty, know how to work that camera with your smize. Some contestants hold it down, others have no clue what they're doing. But, the judges only eliminate 2 girls in this round. Which, of course, means that modeling is more than just being a pretty face. Duh. 

Next round is walking the runway, bitches! Obviously the key to Paris, Milan, NYC, and London.Beautiful Bridesmaids Dresses Nothing too ridiculous, just don some heels, a bikini and a giant hat to cover your face. The focus here is solely the walk. Again, nothing too exciting. Only one girl sort of falls, but not enough to get me through the day thinking/laughing about it again and again…and again. BOO. Not even a catty remark from Naomi, yet. Rest assured,Off-Shoulder Wedding Dresses it will be released at some point. I have faith. 4 more girls are dropped. 

Final round: a 180 from the first round. Now the contestants can do their hair, makeup and clothes any way they want and then take a photo. The photo will determine which supermodel wants that girl on their team — the goal being that the supermodel coaches think that THEIR chosen girl will ultimately win. If more than one supermodel wants the contestant, then the contestant chooses. Ah, the power has shifted, if only for mere minutes. Ooooobviously Naomi has the advantage here. Unless you're boring. There are a couple contestants that all 3 supermodels want, most that get 1 or 2 votes…others that get none. Womp womp. One girl actually sobs her way back from elimination and lands on Team Coco. Hmmmm. Good tactic. I applaud you, model-wannabe. It's a bitch eat bitch world out there, even though none of these bitches actually eat. Anything you got, use. This is MODELING. 

Finally, the 12 are chosen. They will go on to compete in other competitions as shown in the previews – such as wearing wedding dresses and living in one quasi-house with 12 other girls who are competing against each other. 

Here's the bottom line: you probably won't get as much drama as you will with America's Next Top Model, but The Face seems to be a little more professional and serious. As serious as a reality show about modeling can be. Plus,2013 prom dress as in life, the bonus of not seeing Tyra Banks is always a step in the right direction. There's no real token this girl or token that girl like there would be with other modeling competitions.chapel train gown No real theme or crazy outliers. There were plenty of American Idol-esque sob and survivor stories. I guess if that's the motivation you need to get you through a photographer yelling at you, eating 300 calories a day and running the risk of dodging a cell phone attack, then good on yah. My front walker and favorite contestant so far is Devyn. She's tall,off shoulder dress she's got short hair and she's geared to win without any craziness. Yet. 

I'll be watching to see how this progresses. If anything, someone is bound to have a wardrobe malfunction or take a spill on the runway. Hopefully wearing a ridiculous Chiquita banana ensemble or, I dunno, running through Brooklyn trying not to run into a hipster instagram photo shoot. You all know you want SOMETHING to hate on when watching beautiful people do nothing but take pictures all day. Now smize! Smize, my pretties! Muahahaha.

CHINA has held one of its first gay marriages and while it may not be sanctioned by the tightly controlled government, the event has made the couple an internet hit. 

Pictures of the two older men, whose names have not been released, have emerged on China's social media sites in the past few days after the ceremony was held in secret in Beijing. 

Gay marriage remains forbidden and is not legally recognised in China, a country where homosexuality was defined as a "psychiatric disorder" until 11 years ago. 

The two men, one a retired school teacher and the other a retired water delivery man who refer to each as other "daobao" which means big treasure and "xiabao" - little treasure - announced their engagement online using Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter. 

The pair then posted photos of their ceremony,Hot dress with one dressed in a tuxedo and the other wearing a wedding dress and clutching a bunch of red roses. 

The images sparked immediate reaction online. 

"Our love will not be undermined even though we have a different education, background, economic conditions and the same gender," the couple wrote on Weibo. "We will accompany each other forever and we will never separate." 

The marriage is understood to have upset the men's families, with at least one son no longer talking to his father. 

The event divided China's growing online community - the "netizens".

Too cold even for the seagulls, the Jersey Shore in winter is a desolate place. Up and down the abandoned beaches a fringe of snow and ice, like the frayed hem of an old wedding dress, sketches the edge of the last high tide. Only a handful of well-bundled souls, and a black Lab with no birds to chase, roam the ocean’s edge. Shuttered and silent, the Jersey Shore in winter is supposed to be bleak, but today, paused between storm and summer, 100 days after Hurricane Sandy and 110 days until Memorial Day, the shore remains a mournful place — struggling not to be. 

For New Jerseyans, Oct. 29, 2012 will forever be a line of demarcation, separating what used to be from what is. In the few brief hours in between, a ferocious onslaught of wind and water claimed 39 lives; damaged or destroyed nearly 350,000 homes, and in the process created more than 2.5 million cubic yards of debris — enough to raise a football field 80 stories high.china wholesale bridesmaid dresses 

One hundred days later, the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy is now all about what comes next. No one place is predictive of what New Jersey will look like in three months, or six months or even a year. Many are still waiting — some to move back home, others to receive insurance checks, most to make one of the biggest decisions of their lives: rebuild, reopen, or walk away. For these people, however, they must first figure out whether they lie in FEMA’s new flood maps, and if they do,Asymmetric neckline dress where, and depending on where, how high they must raise their homes to avoid onerous insurance rates. The logistics have staggered more than a few residents into a kind of post-disaster stasis. 

The Jersey Shore,simple plus size wedding dresses with short sleeves in essence, is waiting for the waiting to be over. Everyone wants to be busy again. And yet even amid the uncertainty, the coast is stuttering back to life, town by town, street by street, house by house.lace short bridesmaids dress china 

On Nov. 2, four days after the storm, Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa reopened. Two weeks after that, the barricades on Route 36 in Sea Bright came down. A month later, the PATH station in Hoboken sprang back to life. The first week of January, the Mantoloking Bridge was open to regular traffic and on Jan. 25, Gov. Chris Christie announced Island Beach State Park would allow walking, sport fishing and four-wheel driving. 

In Mantoloking, the last bit of Route 35 that was still closed to the public was opened on Friday.Beautiful Sheath Wedding Dresses And on Monday, at 8 a.m., the state of emergency in Toms River’s Ortley Beach section, one of the hardest hit communities, was lifted. 

Less than 1 percent of Ortley Beach’s 2,000 homes escaped damage, according to officials, and a third of the homes remain uninhabitable. 

"We went through a rebuild with utilities," said Toms River Police Chief Michael Mastronardy. ""We’re waiting for gas and electric in some areas." 

Mastronardy has no doubt Ortley Beach will be back, but said many residents are still trying to figure out if, and how, to raise their homes to meet the new flood standards. 

In a state passionate about home rule, perhaps a fitful recovery should come as no surprise. For small businesses, waiting for insurance checks or for financial assistance from the $50.5 billion Sandy aid bill that was signed by President Obama last week, it’s been a high-wire act.
