When I ask someone to help me with something on my computer and just the act of their coming over seems to fix the problem.
I contacted my IT person because I couldn't access the internet on my computer. When they showed up to fix it, before they even did anything, I was able to access the internet. I call that an 'immaculate correction'.

Get the Corsican mug.A bodice designed to shape the torso into the desired form, usually reducing the waist size and enhancing the bosom to give a more alluring, feminine figure.
Modern tight-lacing corsets are constructed from coutil, (pronounced "coo-teel") a tough, densely-woven canvas-like fabric, and reinforced with many steel bones. The front of a corset fastens with a steel busk. The back is laced up through eyelets, usually with two laces meeting at the waist. Sometimes the eyelets are closer together at the waist for a tighter and more controlled waist reduction.
Many corsets sold as "tight-lacing" or "waist reducing" are not in fact suitable for this purpose. Important features to check for are:
Must be made from at least 1, preferably 2 layers of coutil. No other fabric is stiff enough.
Must have a lot of steel boning, usually about 1 bone every 1 1/2 inches around the waist. Spiral steels are most commonly used, as they are the most comfortable and realistic replacement for whalebone, but the boning at the back must be more rigid.
Must have stiff boning either side of the eyelets, to even out the tension and keep the fabric taut.
A strong waist tape sewn inside the corset takes the strain and prevents the fabric stretching out of shape.
A steel busk at the front is essential (unless the corset does not open at the front at all, in which case a piece of rigid steel is used instead.)
Off-the-peg corsets are sold in waist sizes going up in two inch incraments. They will theoretically reduce the wearer's waist by up to 4 inches, but this depends on body shape. Some people are very squishy, some have very flexible lower ribs, while others do not. Also, if you already have a small waist, a standard size corset won't do much. Personally, I don't see the point in buying a corset off-the-peg. If you want a comfortable corset which actually fits and laces you in, you will need to get one made to measure.
Full bust corsets typically cost at least £100. This may seem extortionate, but bear in mind the materials are very expensive, and a lot of skilled work goes into making one. If you see "tight-lacing" or "waist-reducing" corsets for less than £100 or so, be suspicious!
Corsets are becoming more and more popular for fashion and evening wear, possibly due to larger women desiring a curvy figure, or possibly due to the influence of goth and fetish fashion on mainstream trends.

Get the corset mug.Located in a town of around 25,000 people. Multi million football stadium but team cant ever manage to make it to the playoffs. The golf team almost has more members than the band, which is never heard at halftime. Favorite pastimes of students include drinking, drugs, and sex. It is not uncommon to walk down the hall and see a dozen pregnant girls macking on their baby daddy. The poverty rate in Corsicana is extremely high, as about 75% of the students recieve free/reduced lunch. Also, it is common to smell weed in the bathroom, esp. in B hall. Somehow, the good kids are always the ones to get in trouble. The school enforces a ridiculous dress code, and the focus on it is more important than the academics. If you have connections to the right people, you can get away with pretty much anything. The Fall of 2005 wasd marked with several incidents, including a fire which closed school for 2 days, multiple lockdowns due to guns, fire drills as a result to idiots pulling the alarm in class, and several bomb threats. Come graduation time, several seniors cannot graduate due to not being able to pass the TAKS test. It is a minority-majority school, for the numbers of mexicans and blacks outnumber the white. Most people say they will leave this town once they graduate, but end up staying here, raising thier kids, and becoming thier parents, never getting out. The biggest rival is Ennis High School, "The I45 Rivalry", even though we havent beat them in three years. The only sports team that wins consistently is tennis. The school has very little success in academics and athlethics, although the majority of the budget goes to the football team, which is understandable, just like any other small town in Texas, football is the center of everything. If you attend/attended CHS, the sayings "Its a great day to be alive and a tiger" and "KEEP IT TRILL!" make perfect sense to you.
