pictured at what is believed to be a Punjabi family wedding, is
suspected of demanding cash in return for keeping quiet about their
activities.

investigators believe he pocketed hundreds of pounds while working his
beat in Upton Park, East London. The married PCSO appeared at
Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with blackmail, rape and
misconduct in a public office. Watched
by his mother and other family members, Yousaf was remanded in custody
after the brief appearance. The court was told he is accused of
blackmailing women at a brothel on St Stephen's Road near Upton Park
Tube Station. According to the charge, he visited the illicit business
in September and offered to keep police away in return for 500 a
week.The UKs number one wedding website brings you a superb range of Discount Beach wedding dresses for sale from

mobile phone number – which ended in 999 – and told them to call him
directly if they had any problems.

allegedly later reduced the payment to 500 a fortnight. The rape charge
states that the PCSO demanded that one of the women perform a sex act
on him on December 22 in lie of payment. The third charge, misconduct in
a public office, involves the alleged offences of blackmail and forcing
the woman to perform a sex act while on duty.A sexy thigh length dress

investigation' by its Human Trafficking Unit. It is understood the force
is examining suspected trafficking of women from Albania into London by
a crime gang. This inquiry is unrelated to Yousaf's case. The PCSO has
ambitions to be a fully-fledged police officer and had recently
completed a course to help him qualify. A Met police spokesman confirmed
Yousaf was charged with rape, blackmail and misconduct in a public
office last Friday.

Ice fishing turns cold weather into hot opportunity
When
the winter weather turns from seasonably chilly to downright frigid,
some normally outdoorsy folk retreat to the pleasantly heated
indoors.Designer and manufacturer of modern, stylish Wholesale Cheap A-line wedding dresses Online apparels
including bridal gowns, bridesmaids dresses, Others, however, sense
opportunity. Bob Wolfgang sits on a chair in the middle of ice-covered
Laurel Lake in Pine Grove Furnace State Park with a fishing pole in his
hand and a bright red auger — a chest-high mechanical screw that drills
holes in the ice — lying beside him. Rather than letting the cold
weather prevent him from participating in one of his favorite hobbies,
fishing, Wolfgang is enjoying it a different way — through the ice.
"I came down here one time and saw people doing it, " he said. The camaraderie and conversation with other ice-fishing enthusiasts on the lake has kept him coming back for 20 years. "It's very social, " he said. "I've never done it anywhere else. " Around a curve in the lake, standing closer to the lake's dam, an appropriately-named Jim Fisher has more evidence of success: six small fish are in a pile on the ice around him.
"You've got to be a little bit crazy to ice fish, " he admits. However, growing up in Michigan, Fisher found ice fishing was simply the winter way of enjoying a pastime that he loves, even when the fish aren't biting. Jack Handshaw stands nearby, holding a fishing line that descends through the hole he created in more than six inches of ice into the clear water below. When asked what one piece of advice he would give someone new to ice fishing, Handshaw didn't hesitate: be careful, he said. Pine Grove Furnace State Park manager Jason Zimmerman agreed. The climate in southern Pennsylvania only rarely allows for ice fishing, so when lakes and ponds freeze over, people often overlook ice safety in their eagerness to try the craft,Fashion Island presents a fawn colored knee length dress Wholesale Cheap Tulle v-neck applique floor length ball gown wedding/party dress falls to your knees in a frilly skirt. Zimmerman said.
While the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has a large list of tips for safe ice fishing available at its website, commission spokesman Eric Levis boiled it down to a few of the most essential. "The most important thing is that there is no such thing as safe ice, " Levis said. He said people let their guard down when they determine the ice is think enough, forgetting that it can be non-uniform throughout the lake. Sheltered areas, such as coves,We offer a wide selection of Taffeta Sweetheart Jeweled Embroidery A-line Wedding Dresses, silk bouquets and petals. form ice more quickly than non-sheltered areas, he said. That's why it's helpful to carry a large staff or stick to continually test the thickness of the ice in front of you, he said.

Stars plagued with nerves as Breaking Bad
Some of Hollywood's biggest stars stumbled over their speeches at the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards, seeming unprepared as they wept, stuttered, cursed, sung and shook on stage. But unlike the rest, the ever-cool Bryan Cranston, a.k.a Walter White, remained poised as he graced the stage for two awards in a row. He took home the honor of Best Actor in a Drama TV Series, and "Breaking Bad" won Best Drama TV Series. Cranston and his co-stars kept it cool, but calm acceptance speeches were scarce at the boozy awards show, which serves as a dress rehearsal to the Academy Awards.
As "12 Years a Slave" director Steven McQueen accepted the award for Best Movie Drama, he repeatedly asked one of his stars to smack him so he could remember what it is he wanted to say. "I'm forgetting someone. I'm so sorry. I wasn't expecting this. Please hit me," he said. Host Tina Fey ended the show by admitting it had its rough spots, "This is the beautiful mess we'd hoped it would be.From stunning Wholesale Cheap Tulle sweatheart A-Line applique Beaded Quinceanera Dresses to day dresses, we have all of the season's must-have styles."
One big eyebrow-raising moment happened when Diane Keaton accepted the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award on behalf of Woody Allen, who famously skips out on awards shows. During her speech, the audio cut out for a prolonged period,The Western style of formal Discount Taffeta Sweetheart Crystal Beaded A-line Prom/Evening Dresses, characterized by black and white garments, has spread through many countries. leaving viewers at home wondering if a technical glitch caused the silence or if Keaton was spewing profanities.
"I think Diane Keaton just put a curse on the audience?" one user tweeted. Industry magazine the Hollywood Reporter added, "Is NBC itchy on the five-second delay, or did Diane Keaton just curse like a trucker who teaches cursing to sailors?"
Keaton also received mixed reviews for the conclusion of her speech—she sang the chorus of "Make New Friends" a cappella as a tribute to Allen. "Hello 911? I'd like to report a horrific train wreck. It's on TV. It's Diane Keaton," one viewer tweeted. Meanwhile, some defended the star's speech, "Diane Keaton can do no wrong."
The award for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series or TV Movie was handed out to Jaqueline Bisset for "Dancing on the Edge," who paused to gather herself before accepting her award and spewing curse words, which were bleeped out by the network. The first award of the evening, Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture, went to a shaky Jennifer Lawrence for "American Hustle.From chic daytime styles to gorgeous Discount Water melon Chiffon sheath one shoulder bridesmaid dresses party dress, make a fabulous entrance this festive season – no matter the dress code."

Author Lucinda Riley on how alternative medicine changed her life
Until
I was 18 I'd never had any kind of health problem. I'd trained as a
dancer so I was incredibly fit, but my body was under a lot of pressure
from being so active and I came down with glandular fever. It's a
perfectly normal thing for teenagers to get, and for most people it's no
big deal once they recover. But I never really felt right from that
moment on. I've since been diagnosed as carrying the Epstein-Barr virus,
which is believed to cause glandular fever, and if I allow myself to
get run-down or over-stressed the symptoms flare up again.
I got another bout of glandular fever when I was 23 and I just collapsed. I was married by then, and working as an actress, so falling ill was a disaster because I couldn't earn. My husband was an actor too, so our finances were quite precarious.
Being confined to bed was so frustrating because my brain was still active, even though my body had given up on me. I thought, 'What am I going to do with all this time? What have I always wanted to do?' And that was when I wrote my first book. I literally wrote it in bed – 180 pages, longhand.Looking for cheap Discount Quinceanera Dresses for sale? We supply high quality quinceanera dresses.
A friend's father was an author. He'd written a very serious literary book, but he had a look at my manuscript and said, 'I think you've really got something.' So I sold my wedding dress to buy a second-hand word-processor, typed it up, sent it off to an agent and got a three-book deal.
I was overjoyed, because not only was I earning while I was ill, but suddenly I was in control of my life. As an actress you're always waiting for the phone to ring, and you can't do anything until it does. So to get up in the morning and think, 'Right – today I'm going to spend the whole day writing,' was absolute heaven. I knew that I'd found what I wanted to do.
Because there is no cure for Epstein-Barr I also started looking at alternative medicine around this time. But it wasn't until we moved to Ireland, six years later,You will get a good surprise to find black & long sexy Discount Evening Dresses for sale 2014 are best sale on line. that I really started to study it. Everyone over there was very into alternative therapies and I met a homeopath who treated me and my two-year-old, who kept getting croup because of the damp climate.
Homeopathy completely fixed it, and to this day I treat all my family homeopathically if I can. Obviously if a chest cold goes on and on,Dressestmall is one of the largest stores for Discount 2014 New Arrivals Dresses for sale and accessories. I'll resort to conventional medicine, but I always treat anything naturally first, to see if it works.
The biggest revelation for me, though, has been acupuncture. Thirteen years ago I met Rita, a Polish lady who I call my 'Holistic Mummy'. At the time I wasn't well and I'd been told by my doctor that I had a very small cyst on my ovaries, which had to be removed. I remember thinking, 'This doesn't feel right,' so I went to see Rita for the first time.
She had just trained in five-element acupuncture, which focuses on imbalances in the body that can manifest themselves as physical or emotional problems. Five-element acupuncture dates back more than 2,000 years and is different from ordinary acupuncture in that the needles aren't left in the body, but gently jabbed into the skin.
I know now when Rita has hit me on the right point, because I get this kind of jolt. After my initial session she reassured me that I'd be fine – and when I went back for my next scan I discovered not only that I was pregnant with my third child, but that the cyst had gone. Rita also treated me later in the pregnancy.

Why fashion shows are relevant to your life
Ask your average metropolitan,She had the best ideas for our Tulle sweatheart A-Line applique Beaded Quinceanera Dresses and
it turned out better than we ever could have expected. style conscious
guy what he's excited about seeing in this season's London Collections:
Men catwalk presentations, which kick off today, and even the most
well-heeled gentleman will most likely shrug his shoulders. Even if
you're a chap who knows your Acne from your Ami or your Drakes from your
Dries, the curious fantasia of fashion presentations can seem wildly
disconnected to real lifestyle.
As much as the fashion industry might try to shrug off accusations of insularity, closed-ranks cliquishness and occasional ridiculousness, there are times when even the staunchest defender can't help but acknowledge the high camp Zoolander-ness of it all. Models' faces obscured by a splintered mash of wooden planks, knitted crop tops with nipples coyly peeping out, and grown men in leather dresses and riding boots: when what's happening on the catwalk looks like dream sequence from 1920s Italian surrealist cinema spliced with a Berlin sex dungeon, you'd be forgiven for thinking it has very little to do with what you'll be wearing down the Crown and Anchor.
But that's not the whole story. The catwalk theatrics might be what garners headlines – or at least the snigger of joke-makers on Twitter – but a lot of the ideas on the catwalks of London Collections: Men are viable, relevant ways to inject your wardrobe with a bit of pep and vigour. It might seem like there's a disconnect between what the average fellow wears and what comes down the catwalk to a blaze of flashbulbs,Her daddy, Bernie Ecclestone, has a Formula Discount A-line wedding dresses for sale that can be seen, like the Great Wall of China, from outer space, but the gap isn't as yawning as you'd think.
"The challenge is in balancing Savile Row tradition with relevant fashion", says Gieves & Hawkes Creative Director Jason Basmajian of how a tailoring institution as august as theirs can work fluidly into a man's lifestyle. The label's tailoring, from handsome tuxedos and impeccable suiting to rakish peacock blue velvet smoking jackets, might seem like the stuff of sartorial dreams (or at least the kind of thing you'd reserve for your wedding suit), but as Basmajian points out, a good designer should be able to offer pieces that build on what you have. "Gieves & Hawkes is a brand that is always about style and quality. The collection is very wearable and most of the looks can walk off the runway and onto the street or office without seeming intimidating. However, I always want to show new cuts, textures, colours,We offer a wide selection of Taffeta Sweetheart Jeweled Embroidery A-line Wedding Dresses, silk bouquets and petals. fabrics and ways of breaking a Gentleman's wardrobe down and putting it back together."
Basmajian is perhaps the best advert for how to incorporate something that could be relegated as ‘precious' – that masterful suit that you keep for Sunday best – into an everyday uniform; a casual bomber jacket with some tailored trousers, a formal jacket worn with a wool roll-neck for 50s matinee idol elan.

Do You Think Miley Cyrus Has Been Playing A Character?
In
an interview with the New York Times Cyrus said, "I went from people
just thinking I was, like, a baby to people thinking I'm this, like, sex
freak that really just pops molly and does lines all day. It's like,
'Has anyone ever heard of rock 'n' roll?' she said. "There's a sex scene
in pretty much every single movie, and they go, 'Well, that's a
character.' Well, that's a character. I don't really dress as a teddy
bear and, like, twerk on Robin Thicke you know?"
Cyrus is defending her new public image, as she touches upon the problematic racial connotations of her work, Joe Jonas and why she hasn't got a lot of celebrity friends?
Cyrus doesn't realize how people could ever consider her to be a racist; and by saying, "It's actually funny how people can watch my performance, and think it was, like, sexist and degrading to women, and then people somehow found it was racist, which I cannot wrap my mind around. Because I'm like: 'How do I win? If there are white dancers, then I'm racist; and if there are black girl dancers, I'm racist.' We know we're not racist, and I know I'm not putting down women. People also got a rise when I said that I was a feminist, but I am. I'm telling women to be whoever they want to be."
Cyrus says,The range includes the traffic-stopping City Wholesale Cheap Tulle satin round neck A-line wedding dresses party dresses flower girl dresses in bright cobalt "I dream of a post-racial future: I thought about it a lot when Nelson Mandela passed away, because I cannot imagine living this life and seeing how much it's changed. I look forward to being older, my kids being like, 'What do you mean people ever even talked about what color your dancers were?'
When Cyrus was asked about how her image gets in the way of her celebrity friendships, she says, "I don't have a lot of celeb friends, I guess it's because I feel like some of them feel, a little scared of the association; and this is terrible.They increase in value, making them Wholesale Cheap Taffeta Beaded High Halter Layered Tulle Flowers Crystal Sexy A-line Wedding Dresses investment. I was backstage with Anana Grande, and I'm like,I wouldn’t dream of complaining because I’m very lucky Discount White satin sweatheart applique floor length wedding/party dress 'Walk out with me right now and get this picture, and this will be the best thing that happens to you, because when you're associating with me it makes you a little less sweet."
Cyrus' reactions to Joe Jonas telling the press that she had pressured him into smoking pot; and she replied, "If a person wants to smoke weed, they're going to smoke weed, and there's not a thing two girls can do to get another person to do what they do not want to do. It could be that Jonas said this because it was going to make him look like a bada__."
Cyrus' response to on not wanting to be a role model for young girls: "Right now, as for me doing any kind of cover for anything such as a Seventeen or Teen Vogue or whatever, the way I talk isn't the way people who are 17 understands; and saying, 'There was something Kurt Cobain said, something like, 'There's a special place in hell for people that glamorize drugs,' and I don't ever want to be the person that's, like, talking to 16 and 17-year-olds and being like, 'Smoke weed.'"
This is another saga in the wagging tongue and twerking incidents of Miley Cyrus and I hope that this additional information will provide readers a better understanding of her recent actions.
