Backstage Photos from London Fashion Week Spring 2011: Christopher Kane, Erdem, Giles, Matthew Williamson, Topshop, Mark Fast
Models Backstage at London Fashion Week: Neons at Christopher Kane, Coco Rocha at Giles, and More
>> Alessandra Ambrosio has taken a couple of turns on the Spring 2011 catwalks — the latest was at Giles, where she wore her bread and butter: a bikini. "I wake up and read [show stylist] Katie [Grand]'s message on my phone — 'Are you okay wearing a bikini?'" she told The Cut. "I had to think second thoughts about what I was going to have for breakfast. [But] I'm like, 'I guess.' Because I'm Brazilian and I do Victoria's Secret, it wouldn't be polite to say I'm not okay. As long as it's not a G-string, I'm okay. I'm a mom now: I can't [do G-strings]." See Ambrosio, Jessica Stam, and more doing the backstage thing during London Fashion Week — we've got snaps from Christopher Kane, Erdem, Giles, Mary Katrantzou, Matthew Williamson, Marios Schwab, Mark Fast, Peter Pilotto, Pringle of Scotland, Richard Nicoll, Jonathan Saunders, Topshop Unique, and Vivienne Westwood.

The Pender County chapter of the NAACP was noticeably absent at last night's school open forum. It was the first public platform for the group to voice its concerns about unfair hiring practices in the school system. Chapter leader Rachel Stephens, told WWAY that the group didn't need to express its concerns because the school board already know about the alleged problem.
This all stems from a January 21 allegation the NAACP made, questioning the school district's hiring practices. The civil rights group alleges minorities are not well-represented on the staff, nor are they hired as often.
In its charge against the school system, the NAACP alleges nepotism played a factor in hiring an assistant principal who was not qualified.
"We decided it was in our best interest not to be there," Rachel Stevens said, as to why the group wasn't represented.
School staff discussed hiring practices during the informational portion of the meeting. Board chair, Tom Roper, reacted last night to the allegations. He said that the school board's hiring practices are solid. Roper also said Pender County Schools have been co-operative with the group while its complaint is investigated, including providing financial documents and a racial break-down of its staff.

Sharing Our Stories: Writing for Wellness
The registration is now open for the new Writing for Wellness series. ...
Spirituality has always been a central part of the human experience. The vast centuries of human explorations have always contained basic questions: Why am I here? Who am I? What is real? Where is true meaning? Why am I suffering and in pain? Where is there hope? What matters most and gives me or others purpose? As long as human beings have existed, these basic yearnings have been pursued as part of the human endeavor.
According to American Family Physician, "it seems the body, mind and spirit are connected. The health of any one of those three seems to affect the health of the others." Finally, "Some research shows that such things as positive beliefs, comfort and strength gained from religion, meditation and prayer can contribute to healing and a sense of well-being. Improving your spiritual health may not cure an illness, but it may help you to feel better, to prevent certain illnesses and to cope with illness or death." In other words, spirituality can be a resource for your own self-care and wellness at BMC.
In a healthcare setting, patients are suffering and caregivers encounter limits to their ability to cure the problems they encounter. Clinical caregivers are vulnerable to spiritual distress and burnout. Different experiences may impact each member of the staff differently. Choices or situations that conflict with patient or staff beliefs and practices may stir up strong feelings. At Boston Medical Center, the Spiritual Care Department and the Ethics Committee are available to be consulted when you or your colleagues are feeling conflicted regarding spiritual or ethical concerns.
Many people find spirituality through religion. Some find it through music, art or a connection with nature. Others find it in their values and principles. People from various cultures and backgrounds may find different ways to renew their spirits and restore meaning. It is important for caregivers, colleagues and patients to recognize and support this human need. Connecting with a shared mission and meaningful experiences with work, patients, families and colleagues can provide inspiration and renewed sense of purpose.
Here are some questions you may want to ask yourself to help you reflect on your own spirituality and resources (see http://www.gwish.org/ ):
At work:
Practice Appreciative Inquiry to focus your attention on what sustains you in your work and profession, e.g. think about the most inspirational experiences you've had at work. What made this experience so meaningful and inspirational?
Look for ways to build on what you find sustaining
Find ways to share these positive stories as well as your fears and conflicts about your work. Share with your team, in case conferences, written narratives, by presenting or attending BMC quarterly Schwartz Center Rounds. Consult with the BMC hospital chaplains who are trained to attend to the multitude of stressors that hospital employees experience.
Find ways to notice and comment on the special qualities and resilience of your patients and colleagues. Together you can appreciate and learn from each other's unique gifts, common humanity, and efforts to persevere and transcend challenges.
Honor the impact of patients' lives on your own by commemorating their loss to yourself, with your team, with their families and in ceremonies your department may create. (Consult with the BMC chaplains or the Bereavement Committee for additional ideas)
Never worry alone. When confronted with a conflict regarding your values, for support regarding grief, or for critical incident debriefing consider contacting the chaplains from BMC Spiritual Care Department, the Ethics Committee, or Social Work colleagues trained in critical incident debriefing.

I'm an old hand at popping blisters, since they were a constant feature of my childhood. I always rubbed a sewing needle in alcohol, popped the edge of the blister, expressed the liquid from it, put on antibiotic ointment and slapped on a band aid. I don't think I ever had a blister get infected, and it was always such a relief when I popped it.
I rarely get blisters these days, thank goodness, but I'd probably still do the same thing.

Feverfew is a bushy perennial herb. The dried leaves are used in capsules, tablets, and liquid extracts. Parthenolides and glycosides are thought to be the components responsible for its purported anti-inflammatory effects and relaxant effects on smooth muscle.
Feverfew is said to be effective in the prevention of migraine headaches. Evidence from 3 of 4 relatively small but well-designed studies supports these claims, but the largest and best designed of these studies does not. Differences among study findings may reflect the different formulations of feverfew used.
Feverfew is also said to be useful for relieving menstrual pain, asthma, and arthritis. In vitro, feverfew inhibits platelet aggregation.
Mouth ulcers, contact dermatitis, dysgeusia, and mild GI symptoms may occur. Abrupt discontinuation may worsen migraines and cause nervousness and insomnia. Feverfew is contraindicated in pregnant women; theoretically, it is contraindicated in patients taking other antimigraine drugs, iron supplements, NSAIDs, antiplatelet drugs, or warfarin Some Brand Names COUMADIN Click for Drug Monograph .

One way of thinking about backyards with some topographical character is as separate outdoor "rooms," where a larger area is broken down into smaller parts on different levels. This is especially suitable to tight urban lots, like this one in San Francisco. Large pavers with moss growing in the gaps lead to steps to a raised area ...
... From above, the abstract nature of the design is apparent. An angled notch in the whitewashed wall creates a fire pit. At top, a half-circle paving area allows for seating. In essence, the yard is split into two: hard near the house and soft removed from it and raised up high.
This image illustrates how the character of steps and retaining walls can be detailed similarly to the house, creating a cohesive environment. The horizontal wood siding of the house is repeated in the yard's wall and steps; the latter even appears to be extruded from part of the retaining wall.
The two previous examples use stairs to connect different levels, but a more gradual means of moving vertically can also be used, as in this terraced yard. Note the pavers set within the grass terrace, which sidestep halfway up to align with the double doors to the house.
Seen here and in the previous example, vertical movement need not be a straight route. Here one ascends to an L-shaped bench opposite a lily pool. Jogging to the left one ascends again a dining terrace with access to the house via two sets of steps perpendicular to each other. This complex plan creates a series of rooms further defined by the plantings.
In this example we start to see how pools integrated into backyards often require downward movement to water, as well as movement around it. A wide flight of steps descend to a small pool, while more steps continue to the side, bringing people to the rest of the backyard.
Here some steps set into a grassy slope are picked up in the pool itself, allowing to to move gradually and gracefully from house into water.
A last pool example shows movement across the water to reach the rest of the large yard. One descends some narrow stone steps that match the paving of the pool terrace; aligned with it are stepping stones and another small flight bringing one to the lawn.
Like the first example in this ideabook, this townhouse's backyard is a series of terraces that soften as one moves towards the rear of the yard. A glance from the far terrace ...
... shows that the level changes continue towards the house. There is the stair to the top floor, where the previous photo was taken, but also some steps down to a lower level, visible at left. It's like an Italian hill town in miniature, where each level has direct access to the exterior.
Sometimes a change in grade can be accentuated by the landscape. Here the stairs and access are not as important as the bamboo and water feature. The concrete runnels of the water feature seem to stitch the two levels together.
Here the terracing of a backyard lawn is accommodated with tall steps, not stairs. These edges effectively reiterate the projecting awnings on the house.
These last two examples are more traditional in manner, but they illustrate how style is basically a layer upon fairly consistent plans. Here some steps and low walls define a paved area that provides access to a large lawn. I love how the trees are preserved in the paving, like the projects in this ideabook.
This last photo serves to remind people of the importance of landscape design in how we perceive and move through changes in level. Many of the previous examples feature minimal plantings or just lawn areas, reinforcing the clean modern edges of the steps and terraces. Yet here the trees and bushes intrude upon the stepped walkway, which is appropriately treated with the stone in a natural way. Everybody has their own preference, but having the planting, hardscape, and even the architecture work together is very important.

"This would also be a wonderful opportunity for the US to shore up its tattered image by flexing its military muscles for purely humanitarian reasons. After all, it did not hesitate to impose a tight embargo on Iraq and launch into an unprovoked attack on a sovereign state."
Isn't that kind of a neo-conservative perspective?
Either way - you're right...they should. The whole world should. It just goes to show how useless the UN is.

Look up who is committing the genocide, and who the folks being slaughtered are..note their religions.
It will be telling.
It it were reversed, there would be an international outcry.
We can't go in...even when we have a real national interest in protecting our future, with acknowledgement from most of the world's intelligence agencies that our concern was valid, AND we stop the slaughter of at least 7,000 Muslims per month by deposing a brutal dictatorship, (read Ken Pollock's book, a Gathering Storm..or maybe it was a Threatening Storm..one was by Churchill, who was also ignored at the price of millions of lives) AND we help the natural desire of people achieve their dream of one person, one vote, as was the case in Iraq, the people of the world can be whipped into an anti-American frenzy and not support what was and still is a noble cause. Does anyone really think we can go in and stop this against what would be even MORE resistance? Especially in a case where it really would be supporting Christians' right to live against Muslim desire for Islamofascism?

For the past few years, business has not been good for Pauline Njeri, the owner of a small fruit and vegetable stall in Kasarani, Nairobi.
Her once-thriving venture is now a shadow of its former self.
"In 2011, I had about seven employees working for me, and the returns at the end of the month were very encouraging. Right now, I can only comfortably afford four workers. Profits have been at a plateau for some time now," she said.
Her fortunes changed when of Naivas and Nakumatt opened supermarkets in Kasarani.
"Competition is tough," she said. "There is a Naivas store just a stone throw from here, while Thika Road Mall, about 30 minutes away, has a Nakumatt supermarket. Loyal customers who used to place orders for traditional vegetables like mchicha, terere, kunde, mrenda and managu now get their supply from the supermarkets."
Like Ms Njeri, Ms Grace Jeptoo, who runs a vegetable stall in South C, is struggling to come to terms with her reduced profits. Her seven-year-old business that has been providing additional income for her family is fighting a tough battle against several larger retail outlets in the area.
"Most people nowadays prefer to do shopping for perishable consumables at the same time they shop for their other household items. My fruits are the only products that are being picked off the shelves as fast as they did before," said Ms Jeptoo.
While the death of corner shops on the arrival of supermarkets has become the norm, the death of food kiosks and mama mbogas is also growing as retail chains pushing for more sources of revenue diversify into catering in foods and beverages.
And as the giant retail chains take over residential estates that were once the preserve of vegetable kiosks in a bid to get closer to the customers the mama mboga are being squeezed out of business.
Supermarkets stock an array of vegetables and fruits, snacks and cooked, frozen foods that require just a few minutes in the microwave. A visit to any major supermarket reveals counters in food sections filled with hot meals ranging from local to foreign delicacies.
These have become an instant hit with ever-busy Kenyans who are looking to spend less time in the kitchen after a hard day's work.
"I cannot recall the last time I bought anything from a mama mboga, and I am sure many more Kenyans are guilty of that, too. In fact, the youth nowadays do not know how to cook. They barely own a sufuria in their homes," said shopper Brisco Mwachumba.
Nakumatt managing director Atul Shah acknowledges the growing consumer demand for ready-to-eat meals, and the mega store is looking into additional ways to satisfy its customers.
But he disagrees that large supermarket chains are driving down sales for small estate kiosks. Formal retail stores, he emphasises, still trail informal fresh-produce outlets.
"Informal kiosks still provide retail needs to over 72 per cent of the populace," he said. "There are more kiosks than there ever will be giant retailers."
But Mr Shah concedes that as the number of people earning more money increases, tastes are shifting in favour of formal retail stores, indicating a change in lifestyle as well as urbanisation and normal aspirational dynamics.
"As long as the greater chunk of the population resides in slums, the growth of the formal retails will have minimal impact on mama mbogas," said Geoffrey Injeni, director of the School of Finance and Applied Economics at Strathmore University, noting that for convenience purposes, mama mboga will always remain part of the distribution chain.
"At the end of the day, the main factor of consideration for most consumers is convenience. Location is an issue for most shoppers who would rather get their groceries from the mama mbogas outside their homes instead of going to supermarkets," he said.
"The extent of growth for supermarkets can only be supported by the availability of space. So, unless somebody comes up with a new estate that has adequate housing facilities, there can only be so many formal stores."

Midnight Heat cheerleaders join Wapping Hockey Club
Midnight Heat will make their first appearance as Wapping Hockey Club's new cheer leading squad this weekend.
The girls will show off their dance moves at the hockey team's club day at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre on August 30.
The Midnight Heat dancers are Europe's leading professional dance team and are the resident dance team for Britain's biggest basketball competition Midnight Madness.
They have also performed and worked with Rugby Legends, Sports Relief 2014, The Queens Baton Relay, and The Arsenal Foundation.
Wapping HC chair Stuart Burnside said: "Dance, as a sport, is something we can offer to complement and support our spectators experience at the National Stadium.
"This is a key part of our strategy. We want to bring hockey to a wider audience.
"We have hired excellent sporting professionals to perform and entertain our spectators.
"We have not hired promo girls to be decorative, we have hired fellow performance athletes to complement our core offering. To pick one example, Yasmin has represented GB at display gymnastics."
The team's club day takes place on August 30 at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford.

If music be the food of love
Then let it then be starved.
Death's melody of cold silence
Means that pain must then be halved.
If philosophy clips an angel's wings,
Then a scholar I shall be.
Earth's chains shall too tie down their feet
And their tears will fill the seas.

I see this question all the time. This is what I do.
First research the gun if there's been any problems see what's out there and the prices.
Second go to the lgs feel them handle them. Anoy them ask questions its there job if there "to busy" go somewhere else.
Third if possible go to the range rent and shoot it.
Then make your choice most of the major manufactuers have the same reliabilty and the same with the different calibers they will all get the job done. Its what you want and what you like. Don't let some one else sway your descion beacuse they love theres, you will be shooting it and buying it get what you want.

A Formula One demonstration run by Michael Schumacher, Rubens Barrichello, Luca Badoer and Andrea Bertolini formed the finale of the Ferrari Maserati World Finals at Monza on Sunday.
A crowd of 40,000 fans were treated to the spectacle of four Ferrari F2004s on track simultaneously, as the Italian automotive group marked the end of their 2004 motorsport campaign.
Still today I remember the emotions I felt when I saw my name on the side of the car for the first time," said Barrichello. "This is an extraordinary team, which works in unbelievable harmony. We work together and we win together, so it is very nice for all of us to be here together today.
It is great to be part of a day like this, with everyone together to celebrate a really unbelievable season, added Schumacher.
Eighteen historic Formula One cars and five Ferrari 333 SPs, all run by Maranellos Formula One customer department, as well as six world championship winning cars from 1999 to the present day preceded the F2004s on track.
It is particularly enjoyable to be here at Monza for this day of celebration, without any sort of pressure or tension, in a completely different atmosphere to what we are used to at the Grands Prix, where we always face a difficult challenge, said Ferraris Managing Director Jean Todt.
The entire Ferrari family has turned out here: the team, the owners, the fans, the sponsors, all together to celebrate a season which can be described as unique. It will definitely not be easy to repeat it.
A total of over 900 race and road cars attended the four-day event.

After receiving his sack letter, Don Jazzy compensated and gave him an immediate offer to work at Mavin HQ.

Very nice! This a beautiful, exhilarating car. I personally have not driven but have experienced one first hand with a pro driver at the wheel. I had to go to the ER after to get my neck in a brace!
My friend, Smash now has my White RS4 in his stable.. Since this is the "performance" award, here's a shot of his RS4 taped and ready for track action! I used one of his shots here. *If you don't know why, it's like a bra made out of painters tape. Keeps the rock chips from happening and easy removal.
Here's a vid of smash sliding around in snow
At a press conference presented by the MIDWAY GROUP and hosted by the New York International Auto Show at the Jacob Javitz Centre in Manhattan, New York, the Audi RS4 was declared the 2007 World Performance Car.
The Audi RS4 was chosen from an initial entry list of seventeen (17) contenders nominated by World Car jurors from 22 countries throughout the world.
While the winner of the overall World Car of the Year award must excel in a broad range of attributes, there is a segment of the car-buying public for whom performance – in its broadest sense – overrides all other priorities. Vehicles appealing to that clientele may be too narrowly focused to appeal to the masses, but it is an important element in the overall automotive mix. It is for that reason that we created the World Performance Car award in 2005.
Candidates for the World Performance Car award must demonstrate a specific and overt Sports/Performance orientation. They must also satisfy the same availability criteria as for the overall award and may be chosen from that list of eligible vehicles.
Additional entrants may include newly introduced variants that satisfy the same criteria, but are derived from existing rather than brand-new models. In all cases, they must have a minimum annual production rate of 1000 vehicles.
The jurors voted in January 2007 in order to establish a top ten shortlist. The 2007 World Performance Car was chosen from those finalists as tabulated by the international accounting firm KPMG.
WCOTY's jurors loved the RS4, which is the virtual definition of a sports sedan. With its quattro all-wheel-drive system it puts its 420 high-tech horsepower to the ground with confidence, and it can be tossed around an obstacle course with abandon. The Audi build quality is beyond reproach and for all its high-performance capability, the RS4 can be absolutely docile when that is what is called for, making it a true dual-purpose car, suitable for everyday family use as well as track days. The very best part, however, is the wonderful roar it emits when you put your right foot down.
The top three contenders for the third annual World Performance Car in addition to the Audi RS4 were the BMW 335i and the Porsche 911 Turbo.
"We are honoured to receive the World Performance Car of the Year award for the Audi RS 4," said Johan De Nysschen, Executive Vice President of Audi of America, on accepting the award. "Over the past few years, Audi has emerged as a serious sports car brand and RS models have played an important role in this development. So we are delighted that the World Car of the Year jurors view the RS 4 as the very definition of a sports sedan."

Please place comunity poker tables in bars.
At the begining it could be No Limit Texas Holdem with stakes 5/10 peds. That could be lately expanded to different stakes (in different bars) and to poker tournaments like 10 player sit and go, or other poker types like omaha, crazy pinaple, 7 stud, etc. I think playing poker would bring additional fun for gamblers like me and give additional rake earnings for MindArk and Planet Partner. (I suppose that most of Entropia players are gamblers, becouse they are playing game with loot structure that is similar to slot machine.) If there is problems with licensing poker table under Sweden laws, I think I can help. Friend of mine owns casino network in Latvia, accordingly he owns gambling license for Latvia. I think there should be several ways how to reuse his license in Entropia, but it must be discussed with lawyears. I think one probable way could be - if you sell a bar to him (may be even couple squair meters in the bar is enough), he is allowed runing poker in the bar according Latvia laws. Another probable way - the poker application could be hosted in another data centre, lets say in Isle of Man. If needed, I can help also with software development, becouse my husband leads little software developement team, and he is familiar with Texas Holdem rules. So if MindArk or Palnet Partner is interesting in such project and need my help, please contact me via private message or in this therad. I would be happy to help. |
From the Terms of Use:
This is what this game needs, I think.
unfortunately it will never happen, but hopefully MA will get brought out and the new owns will change this. I would love to enter a poker comp, place in the money, then go blow it hunting. Oh well, we can dream |
This is still breaking the rules as their will be gambling in Entropia. But, people claim you can turn this game into gambling by crafting on condition, but then they should be banned for turning it into gambling? |
I do not think that it is a big problem for MindArk to simply delete this paragraph (as MindArk sometimes did changes in the EULA before) |
(Sure, you don't technically need to deposit to play, but imagine the number of beggars that would arise from this. "I live in USA I can't deposit pleeease give me a free gun/ammo / lend me 100 ped I got a friend who can give you money on monday".) |
It has to do with swedish law prohibiting gambling establishment without permits. Now if you somehow got a swedish gambling establishment permit and talked to MA about using there platform to implement it they might do it.
There are no plans to implement any type of gambling activity inside Entropia Universe.
Sry, cannot wait for your reply, must craft amps now again, I feel there's a jackpot out for me, and I have just recently sold wife & cat, so this time it must be mine finally!!! Have fun! |
Such a change would eliminate the entire US playerbase. The US government has already clamped down on other online venues offering that type of activity.

Fergie: Defeat a wake-up call
20 Mar 2009 - 13:59:39
Sir Alex Ferguson believes Manchester United's heavy defeat at the hands of Liverpool last weekend has provided his players with a timely wake-up call.
United suffered their heaviest Premier League defeat for 17 years after losing 4-1 to their Merseyside rivals at Old Trafford.
But ahead of the vital closing period of the season, Ferguson believes the stinging defeat may well prevent his players from letting composure slip into their play.
"For weeks we've had to listen to eulogies and compliments about how great this side is and I've kept deflecting that and saying how tough this league is," said the veteran Scot.
"Everyone likes to read good things about themselves - particularly young players like to think they are the bees' knees all the time - but football's a game that comes back and bites you quite severely as we found out last week.
"That defeat was a reminder about how difficult this league is and in a way that will help us. We all now realise that there's a lot of work to be done.
"It's put us in a position to say let's get the show on the road again."
Meanwhile, Ferguson is predicting a tough encounter when he takes his side to Fulham on Saturday.
"They've had a great league campaign this season and Roy's (Hodgson) done a fantastic job in the sense that with five games left last season they looked down," he added.
"His experience and qualities have created a different Fulham and we expect a difficult game tomorrow."

Earlier this morning, "we" mixed up a bunch of solutions using household salt for the express purpose of cloning a few mineral water brands. It involved a little math and anyone who read through the whole thing has woken up by now from the troubled sleep it induced. Basically, we mixed 10 grams of each salt with 32 ounces of distilled water to produce a 1.06% solution. That is easily measured by ounces (or tablespoons, teaspoons, and quarter teaspoons) into a gallon container to which you add enough water to make one gallon.
Since then, so you can avoid all that troublesome math, I've created some tables for the 8 mineral waters cloned in that marvelous spreadsheet by Martin Lersch. Experienced cooks (ahem!) may look at the column that says "ounces of solution" and accurately approximate the amount to several decimal places, but I've included the measuring spoon numbers for anyone who desires measured accuracy. Keep this immortal quote from Mimi Sheraton in mind while doing so…
"We gonna cook or are we gonna measure?"
Here, again, are the common names of the salts used in preparing the 1.06% solutions:
NaCl Kosher SaltNaHCO3 Baking soda
MgSO4 Epsom salt
Mg(OH)2 Milk of Magnesia
CaSO4 Gypsum
Ca(OH)2 Slaked lime, pickling lime, CAL
And now, the magic potions. Put the amounts (ounces of solution) into a 1 gallon container, fill with distilled water, and shake:
Note: The Vichy Saint-Yorre, you may notice, takes close to 21 grams of baking soda. For this one, don't use the 1.06% solution - just measure out 21 grams of baking soda and put that in the one gallon container.

An accidental garden writer turns her talents toward the most overlooked season: winter.
Q When did you first get the gardening bug?
A Uh-oh, I'm going to date myself. Back in the late '60s, we were living on 5 acres in the [New York] countryside. I loved flowers, but I couldn't afford them, so I started digging up wildflowers in our woods and moving them closer to the house.
Q What got you hooked?
A Being in the garden has always given me a certain peace and serenity. There's something about going back to nature. It's my drug of choice.
Q You've written for Newsday, Family Circle, the New York Times and Better Homes and Gardens. You've been a frequent guest on ABC, NBC and "Good Morning America" and "The Garden in Winter" is your 13th book. But you kind of stumbled into garden writing. How did that happen?
A It's the story of following your passion and your heart and doing what you believe in. It was my hobby and it ended up being a career.
When my kids were little, I volunteered at New York Botanic Gardens. Later, I worked for a landscape architect and then found myself on the board of Burpee. I wasn't the expert -- I learned from the experts -- I was the "everygardener." I was lucky.
Q Why do you think you've struck a chord with gardeners?
A I break it down. I make gardening human, because I do it. There's a passion that comes through.
Q Why did you decide to tackle the most overlooked season in the garden?
A In winter, we spend so much time indoors, if your view out of the window is of a perky variegated conifer or a red twig dogwood, it brings sunshine down to earth.
Q Unlike lots of so-called winter garden books, you focus on gardens that actually get snow. Why?
A That's my winter. Many of the pictures were taken in my garden on Long Island.

Mike Hoffman, LW, C |
Shoots: L |
Height: 6-0 |
Weight: 180 |
Born: 1989-11-24 |
Hometown: Kitchener, Ontario |
Drafted: 5th round in 2009 by Detroit, 130th overall |
September 2014 – Mike Hoffman is poised to crack the Senators lineup for opening night. Although the Kitchener native tallied just three goals and three assists in 25 games for Ottawa last season, he pushes the pace well through the neutral zone and showed chemistry playing on a number of line combinations. On a new-look Senators team that is aiming to be more up-tempo, Hoffman fits the mold. He'll most likely suit up in the bottom-six, playing with David Legwand or Zack Smith. Fantasy wise, owners would hope he plays some time in the top-six; Ottawa's bottom six lacks scoring power and will most likely be more defensively-capable. Nathan Martin
April 2014 – Mike Hoffman's time in Ottawa continues to be a success. He has now shown in a bigger sample size (20 games) that he has both the speed and the shot to be a constant threat in the NHL. Although the Kitchener-native could use some target practice (tends to miss the net high, a lot) he has no problem keeping up with the quicker players in the game. What has become unfortunate for Hoffman is the continued strong play of Mark Stone, who sits on the ever-coveted right wing spot on the Turris-Macarthur line (at times it seems as though everybody and their brother could find chemistry with that pair). Right now Hoffman is left carrying around Zack Smith and Chris Neil on Ottawa's fourth line, a line that certainly plays a role but not one that plays to Hoffman's strengths (or your fantasy interests). Ideally, Hoffman finds his way onto a line with Zibanejad or Pageau, two centers that can absolutely fly through the neutral zone. At times Hoffman looks like the fastest player on the ice for both teams. It would be in the best interest of the Senators to find a way to use that speed. Nathan Martin
December 2013 – Mike Hoffman has been recalled by the Ottawa Senators. Hoffman was off to a hot start in Binghamton, scoring 11 goals and 15 assists in his first 21 games. Hoffman's biggest asset is his North-South speed, most notably his ability to get behind defenders on the forecheck. The Kitchener-native has been given a spot on the second line with Kyle Turris and Bobby Ryan; a line that has been dominant so far this season, and, a line that gives Hoffman a real opportunity to strut his stuff. However, with the Sens struggling to win games it's certain that his leash will be short in the role he's been given. If he can tighten things up defensively he could find a way to stick around in Ottawa. Plus, if he can stay on that second line with Turris and Ryan he has a really good chance to pile up some points on Ottawa's best line all season. - Nathan Martin
July 2012 - Mike Hoffman is a goal-scoring forward who possesses a quick, accurate shot and very good skating ability. Hoffman was named the MVP of the QMJHL for the 09/10 season after scoring 46 goals and adding 39 assists for 85 points in 56 games. While he struggled in his first pro season with the Binghamton Senators of the AHL, only scoring 7 goals in 74 games, he tripled that output in his sophomore year, scoring 21 goals in 76 games. His improved play in the 11/12 season earned him a one game call-up to the NHL. Hoffman will need to work on his overall game and continue improving in the minors in order to earn a longer look at the NHL level.
Fantasy Outlook: C+
Is pretty much an NHLer now, but skill set likely has him as a fixture on the third line.

I'm officially ready for the season to start schedule comes out soon and we can see who will be the first victims to the Celtics back to back championships
it's going to be real interesting ... especially considering Rondo's play. If he becomes say a top-5 PG in the league the big 3 become the great 4 ... it ill be fun to see. If Tony Allen is back to his old self he can make people foget Posey very quickly.
CelticVision HD | Celtics.com nice to see them back and working out and so it begins, 22 days till the first pre-season game 33 till the banner drops, gonna shed a tear that day
im looking forward to see how the new guys fit in. its going to be a tall order to replace posie and pj browns play on the floor.
By the time it is all said and done Rondo will be one of the top 5 PG int he league...I can't wait for this season.

Aerogel waveplates
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 13, pp. 10599-10605 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (317 KB)
Optical transmission measurements were made on 98% porosity silica aerogel samples under various degrees of uniaxial strain. Uniaxially compressed aerogels exhibit large birefringence, proportional to the amount of compression, up to the 15% strain studied. The birefringence is mostly reversible and reproducible through multiple compression-decompression cycles. Our study demonstrates that uniaxially strained high porosity aerogels can be used as tunable waveplates in a broad spectral range.
