Topshop Unique
OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Topshop Unique
2010 September 20
Runway Reviews: Topshop Unique, Osman, House of Holland
View Gallery
(LONDON) Topshop Unique
To be fair, the high-street behemoth better have plenty of new up its sleeve; with near-daily deliveries, the brand's customers don't want a limited selection. The answer? Everything from psychedelic '70s jumpsuits in a billowing smoke print to clean white minifrocks to unicorn prints made appearances, all in over-the-top styling (courtesy of Katie Grand and every color under the rainbow. Pegasus, cobwebs, macramé, disco, showgirls—a read-through of the brand's substantial show notes lists them all. It was a little exhausting, to be sure, but that doesn't mean that the girls won't snatch it all up as soon as it hits sales floors. Accessories were particularly interesting—while sky-high Lucite wedges with straps, tassels, bits and bobs might be toned down a touch pre-retail, the generously fringed handbags (often worn more than one at a time) will surely fly off the floors.
Osman Yousefzada has become one of LFW's designers to watch, and this season, he presented one of his strongest collections to date. Elegant, flattering, and archetectural is always the key with Osman, but in the past his quest for the entirely unadorned has left attendees wanting, well, a little more something. For spring, he gave us color—khaki and navy, but also bright neon yellow, lime green, and pink—and texture—patent leather, crisp cotton, and floaty silks—all in a coherent, easy collection that was true to Yousefzada's less-is more style. Winning looks included a one-shoulder lemon yellow jersey top with a khaki patent leather pleated skirt that hit below the knee, as well as perfect navy trousers, and sharp little dresses with almost a Roland Mouret-esque sensibility.
House of Holland
For a designer best known for tees reading "Do Me In The Park Marc," Henry Holland's Spring 2011 collection was a more grown-up effort. Opening with a great little gold knife-pleated leather skirt and a blazer in an oversized tropical leaf print, it was almost
uncharacteristically wearable, continuing with flared print pants and a safari-ish shirtdress. Not to worry, lovers of Holland's tongue-in-cheek fashions: colored fringe adorned most everything, a metallic star print was perfectly kitschy, and the collection finished with gold dresses that would put a disco ball to shame. In other words? Henry-philes are happy, and everyone else is, too.

Infection and Chemotherapy
Cancer Treatment: Infection and Chemotherapy
The side effects of chemotherapy depend on the type of chemotherapy and the amount given. Anticipating and managing side effects can help to minimize them and provide the best possible experience for the person receiving chemotherapy.
Infection and chemotherapy
As each person's individual medical profile and diagnosis is different, so is his or her reaction to treatment. Side effects may be severe, mild, or absent. Be sure to discuss with your cancer care team the possible side effects of treatment before the treatment begins.
Many chemotherapy drugs can damage the bone marrow, where blood cells are made. White blood cells are the cells that fight many types of infections, which means that chemotherapy can leave you at risk for infection. The white blood cell most critically impacted by chemotherapy is called the neutrophil. It fights bacterial infections.The bacteria that cause most infections are normally found on your skin and in your mouth, intestines, and genital tract. Sometimes, the source of an infection is unknown. Infections can happen to people even when they are very careful. Individuals who are fighting infections are sometimes given a medication to boost their white blood cell count after chemotherapy.
How can I help prevent infections?
Most doctors will offer the following suggestions for reducing your risk of infection:
- Wash your hands frequently throughout the day, especially before eating, after using the bathroom, and after touching animals. Use antibacterial hand gel often.
- Clean your rectal area gently but thoroughly after each bowel movement. Consult your doctor if the area becomes irritated or if you develop hemorrhoids.
- Avoid people who are sick with communicable (contagious) illnesses, including a cold, the flu, measles, or chickenpox.
- Avoid crowds.
- Stay away from children who have recently been given "live virus" vaccines, such as chickenpox, as they may be contagious to people with a low blood cell count. Oral polio vaccine (OPV) is also a live virus. While it is not currently used in the United States, it is still used in other countries. Because of that, if you travel internationally, you should also stay away from children who have recently been given oral polio vaccine.

- Clean cuts and scrapes immediately with warm, soapy water and an antiseptic.
- To protect your mouth and gums, brush your teeth after meals and before bedtime.
- Do not squeeze or scratch pimples.
- Take a warm (not hot) bath, shower, or sponge bath every day. Pat your skin dry; do not rub it.
- Use lotion or oil if your skin becomes dry.
- Avoid contact with animal litter boxes and waste. Avoid bird cages and fish and turtle tanks as well.
- Avoid standing water, such as in bird baths, flower vases, or humidifiers.
- Wear gloves when gardening or cleaning up after others, especially small children.
- Consult your doctor before receiving any type of immunization or shot, such as flu or pneumonia shots.
- Do not eat raw fish, seafood, meat, or eggs.

Financial services companies, whether insurers or banks, are not shy about the possibilities for mobile technology to improve their customer relations or organizational agility. But mobile technology advances rapidly, and that puts pressure on companies' development organizations to discover and implement capabilities that leverage the main attractions of the channel -- location awareness and anytime, anywhere access -- on devices of different form factor or capabilities. Indeed, three years after the introduction of the iPad, tablet computers are poised to outstrip traditional PCs and become the major online portal for many financial services customers.
In this webcast, moderated by Insurance & Technology associate editor Nathan Golia and featuring Stephen Drake, IDC's VP of Mobility & Telecom, and Amit Aghara VP from Kony Solutions, financial services technologists will get answers to these and other questions:

In fact, there are three and a half times more anthocyanins in acai berries than red wine when compared in matching volumes! Recently gaining popularity in fruit smoothies and other beverages, acai berries feature a nearly perfect amino acid complex, trace minerals and more free-radical-fighting power than blueberries, strawberries and cranberries. You can find acai supplements in a variety of forms— extracts, powders, liquids—to suit your needs and preferences.

A number of trade schools and community colleges across the country offer vocational training programs in plumbing, some even geared towards distance learners. Students enrolled in this type of program can expect to learn about physics, chemistry, mathematics, and piping systems as they relate to a career in this field.
Since students studying plumbing are preparing for a trade, general education course requirements will be minimal. Instead, course work will focus on building a strong professional knowledge base. In addition to learning about plumbing systems, building codes, common repairs, and the necessary tools of the trade, students will be required to put this knowledge into practice through an apprenticeship. This can be arranged in your local area as a distance learner.
After a sufficient training period with an experienced professional, typically two to five years, plumbers can earn their licensure by passing an exam testing their knowledge of trade tools, skills, and practices. This is required in most states and localities to practice independently.
As a professional plumber, you may work with businesses or homeowners to install or fix problems with plumbing systems. Plumbers also often assist construction companies and contractors on renovation and new building projects. Some plumbers work independently on a freelance or contract basis, while others work full time for a specific employer.

Milan Spring 2013: Roberto Cavalli, Dsquared², Gianfranco Ferré
Getty Images View Gallery
(MILAN) Roberto Cavalli
Ridden with lace and awash with fluttery transparent layering, Cavalli's vision for Spring '13 is sexy, sure, but with a lighter touch than the animal print-flooded, overt sauciness the designer is perhaps best known for. A frothy series of all-white looks, with prettily yoked button-downs and low-slung trou sliced up from waistline to toe, made way for a gelato-hued assortment of pistachio, tangerine, and blush. The pastel parade included tapis rouge-ready frocks as well as suiting that sported full-on profusions of pattern, like a mint-collared number made even more groovy by a pair of mod, round-framed shades. And then, the cutouts came out to play (and there were many peeks of the midriff, clavicle, obliques...): done in dark velvets, spliced hemlines swishing about with each strut, a fitting wrap-up that felt rather seasonless.
Holy gams! Dean and Dan Caten served up a 31-look homage to nineties supes sporting loads of leather, ample bling, and a mostly brief hemline situation (even the ruffled, cheetah print-lined cupcake poof of a finale frock was leggy as can be). Biker caps were iced out to the same degree as chains upon chains upon chains slung across the chest and hips, usually in tandem. Quite costumey and undeniably fun in a campy sort of way, the Caten boys offered up fitted toppers and textured minis in leather; for the girlier persuasions, a prom-like bubblegum strapless dress; and for the pants-averse, there were maillots and itty-bitty boyshorts for days. Certainly sassy, non?
Gianfranco Ferré
Paris Group and a band of state commissioners may be in a messy legal battle over Gianfranco Ferré, but it was fairly smooth sailing for designers Federico Piaggi and Stefano Citron on the runway. Citing Guy Bourdin's provocative and sometimes Surrealistic photography, the duo whipped up a mostly black and white assortment, rife with asymmetrical cuts, plunging necklines, and minis to the max. For evening, plan on leg-revealing, architectural gowns nipped in at the waist with your choice of a nonchalantly knotted gold belt or a silver leaf waist cincher.

- Description
Fast Twitch™
Power Workout Drink Mix
Endo-Thermogenic Breakthrough
From the makers of Muscle Milk® & Cytomax®
- Fuel Fast Twitch (type II) Fibers - EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH PERFORMANCE
- Amplify Nitric Oxide - TOTAL BODY PUMPS
- Lower Cortisol - PROTECT LEAN MUSCLE
- Endo-Thermogenic Effect - ENHANCE METABOLIC RATE
Awesome muscular explosiveness and size, formerly
reserved for the genetically gifted, is the goal of FAST
TWITCH. FAST TWITCH is the first formula
specifically designed to fuel fast twitch (type II) muscle
fibers for greater muscular power and gains.
FAST TWITCH helps increase post workout
intensity, while enhancing muscular repair. The harder the
workout, the more FAST TWITCH can help. With
FAST TWITCH, you may run out of gym time before
you run out of muscle energy.
Fueling type II fibers increases explosive power and
speed. This translates into more sets, reps and weight lifted.
FAST TWITCH enables muscles to produce more
power, resulting in greater heat output. This heat production
is endo-thermogenic. Increased body heat, plus enhanced
oxygen consumption after harder workouts, boosts
metabolism. Raising the metabolic rate can enhance
calorie burning.
Cortisol, the body's primary stress hormone, naturally
rises after workouts. Elevated cortisol can be catabolic to
muscle tissue. FAST TWITCH contains
phosphatidylserine (SerinAid®), which may help blunt
exercise induced contisol rise after workouts.
Creatine GCC, first used in Muscle Milk®, helps support
the body's own creatine production. New Kre-Alkalyn® further
advances creatine technology. Together, they need no loading,
and are pH balanced to deliver massive creatine results.
FAST TWITCH promotes internal
S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) production, highly regarded for
enhancing mood and joint support. SAMEe, with out nutrients,
help "get your mood right" for monster workouts. Nitric oxide
amplifiers pump you up, and speed nutrients to hungry muscles.
Fast and slow twitch are generalizations for
more specific muscle fiber types. Physiologist
classify human muscle fibers as Type 1 (slow
twitch; slow oxidative, SO), IIa (fast twitch; fast
oxidative glycolytic, FOG), IIab (intermediate
fiber), and IIb or x (fast twitch; fast glycolytic,
FG). In general, slow twitch fibers are relatively
fatigue resistant, but do not contract as rapidly
or as strongly. Fast-twitch fibers contract more
rapidly and forcefully, but fatigue more quickly.
Although all fiber types respond to intense
training, fast twitch fibers tend to have a greater
ability for hypertrophy (growth).
* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
- Supplement Facts
Mix one to three scoops/servings of
FAST TWITCH in 16 oz of water. Drink
3/4 of bottle 30-45 minutes before workout.
Drink remaining 1/4 bottle during workout.
Best results are obtained when taken on empty
stomach. Take on training days. Drink 64 fl. oz
of water daily. After workouts, take Muscle
Milk within 60 minutes for fast recovery.
FAST TWITCH fuels increased
explosive strength, while promoting muscular
repair post workout. Our pH balanced creatine
mix remains stable, so you can drink FAST TWITCH
during workouts to keep muscle
fibers firing harder, longer.

- Health Notes
Nitric OxideNitric Oxide
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyAthletic Performance 4 gram three times per day [2 stars]It has been speculated that AAKG may increase production of nitric oxide, a substance known to enhance blood flow. In one study, AAKG improved measures of strength and short-term power performance in weight lifters.
Nitric oxide is the popular name for AAKG (arginine alpha-ketoglutarate), a compound made from the amino acid L-arginine and alpha-ketoglutarate, a substance formed in the body's energy-generating process. AAKG is a popular supplement among bodybuilders and other athletes because of claims that it increases production of nitric oxide in muscles. Nitric oxide is known to have blood-flow-enhancing effects,1 which could in theory increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to exercising muscle. While L-arginine by itself is known to increase nitric oxide production, no research has been done to show that AAKG does the same. However, double-blind trials of AAKG suggest it improves some measures of strength and power resulting from weight training.2, 3

Comments about CYTO SPORT CytoSport™ Fast Twitch™- Power Punch:
I bought this because it was cheap, and I love Muscle Milk so I figured anything else from Cytosport was worth a try. It tasted decent compared to most other pre-workouts, but it wasn't effective for me. I didn't get the energy boost or the sustained energy for longer workouts. It's also inconvenient because you have to drink 3/4 of it 45 minutes before your exercise, and the other 1/4 halfway through your routine. Don't waste your time with this one.

Comments about CYTO SPORT CytoSport™ Fast Twitch™- Power Punch:
I like to drink this before morning lifts. It gives me energy (caffeine) and let's me work harder and longer. I definitely feel more sore a few hours later even after drinking a protein shake. If you love to lift hard and have an intense workout this stuff is great. It makes you really want to work hard and have an intense workout and when I drink it all I can do is focus on training.

Comments about CYTO SPORT CytoSport™ Fast Twitch™- Power Punch:
To be honest, I bought this on closeout at a local GNC and I am never going to buy any "pre-workout" drink like this ever again.
I am a very healthy person who my sport and overall health very seriously and I cannot see where such a product could ever fit in.
This review may just seem like a huge rave to shoot this product down, but please bear with me. It does an awesome job of dilating blood vessels and creating more bloodflow to the body, but it has many different side effects.
After taking the product, I have developed headaches which have lasted all day long, loss of mental clarity, odd muscle spasms in my left arm and hand, and it upsets my normally very hardy stomach.
You may find that the increased blood flow is worth all these side-effects, but to me, it is just not worth it.
The money is much better spent on EAS creatine monohydrate(the best out there-all the tablet creatines are all marketing hype),a good whey protein isolate, or Vitargo S2 for energy.

Good product. Kinda expensive but seems to really work. 30 mins after taking you get this warm whole body feeling. I added 30mins to my work outs just by taking it. Cons are it is hard to mix and tastes pretty rough. Not at all like fruit punch. But well worth it!!!!

Comments about CYTO SPORT CytoSport™ Fast Twitch™- Power Punch:
This stuff gave me the most intense workout I have had in long time, there was not a big case of the jitters but it did keep me going through my whole workout. I was completely done with my routine but the energy was still there. I take the supplement just like it says too, and the results are phenomenal. The taste is great and way better than NoXplode. The last thing is the next day I'm not as sore but that might be the fact that I'm stacking this with Muscle Milk Light. Overall this product is amazing and is now part of my daily routine.
