Elegance and Decadence - The age of The Regency
Colourful series marking the 200th anniversary of one of the most explosive and creative decades in British history. It presents a vivid portrait of an age of elegance presided over by a prince of decadence - the infamous Prince Regent himself, a man with legendary appetites for women, food and self-indulgence. Yet this was the same man who would rebuild London, carving out the great thoroughfare of Regent Street and help establish the Regency look as the epitome of British style through his extravagant patronage of art and design.

Exactly, Sky. I thought the storyline would go the opposite way and she would slowly turn into a normal person. I guess that just wasn't exciting enough. I just can't even think about Kat and Derek together! That actor just grosses me out...

A bank robber who broke out of downtown Chicago's federal jail in an "old man" disguise has been recaptured. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, 38-year-old Kenneth Conley was arrested Friday while dressed as an elderly man wearing "sunglasses, a beret, an overcoat" and hobbling with "a cane."

She is about 13. A cigarette dangles between her fingers and a smattering of tattoos adorn her skin — three dots on her lower back and, on her ankle, something that looks as if it could be a butterfly, maybe a hummingbird. A blue heart-shaped sticker is pasted next to the outside corner of each eye. Todd Hammer has been searching for the girl for two years now, with only a few dozen pixelated photos a decade old to go on.
The investigator knows every corner of the apartment she's in — the shuttered vertical blinds, white walls, dark Berber carpet, old-fashioned wall-mounted gas furnace. He has memorized the mundane details: a copy of the Yellow Pages, a language school flier, an old wall calendar from a Jewish religious supply store in Encino.
He studies the two adults in the photos: a man with a...
