Designers in Milan and Paris Welcome Stefano Tonchi as New Editor of W Magazine
How does one celebrate a new fashion title editorship? With parties on two consecutive evenings, one in Paris and one in Milan, of course! Stefano Tonchi was indeed feted by designers in both fashion capitals during a two-evening event honoring his new position as editor of W magazine. Starting in Milan in the gardens of the Bulgari hotel with Angela Missoni, Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, and Giambattista Valli in attendance, the party carried on to the Hotel D'Evreux the following evening where Tonchi lived it up with the Parisians—including Alber Elbaz, Victoire de Castellane, and Alexis Mabille. What, no London love?

Maria Riley ran into her mother's arms when one of her friends left the third-floor classroom of Visiting Nurse Service of New York's Early Steps Family Center in Rockaway Beach Friday. Her tears, a testament to how much the other girls there meant to her.
"We're going to see her on Monday, baby," her mother, Nicole, told her about her friend.
But that's too long a time for Maria, 4. She wants to be with her friends all day.
"She loves being here," Riley said. "You see, all she wants to do is come here and be with her friends."
Friday was not a normal day at the newly opened building at 2-16 Beach 87 St. VNSNY cut the ribbon on the new family center, located a block from its former site that was devastated in Hurricane Sandy.
Serving 185 students from the Rockaways and Broad Channel, the center has been key to parents and children on the peninsula before, during and after the devastation Sandy wrought.
The center's executive director, Carmen Ayala, said the focus on children began in the mid-1990s, when the organization was helping teen parents in the Rockaways.
"I started here as a teacher and a grandmother of the one of the kids," Ayala said, noting her granddaughter is 18 years old now.
Eventually the center received funding to serve the children of those parents and later open it up to other children.
They opened a center near the Rockway Commons shopping plaza that had classrooms and service areas for families.
Then came Sandy. Although the center was displaced along with most of its families, VNSNY did not forget its clients.
"They never forgot us," said Amber Beckles, a parent and president of the center's policy council. "We always had help from VNSNY. We lost so much in Sandy, but we got so much from this organization."
Even with the facility destroyed, the policy council still met in a nearby parking lot.
"We were out there in the cold, bundled up, having our meetings," Beckles added.
Some families were displaced. Riley had to relocate herself and her daughter to the Bronx for several months.
"After Sandy, [Maria] became quieter and more attached to me," Riley said. "But now, I leave her here and she just says 'Bye' and goes off to play with her friends."
As the recovery from the storm continued, VNSNY poured more funding into rebuilding the center and making it better than before. The organization took over the then-vacant building on Beach 87th Street, renovated it and finally reopened it in May, just over 18 months after the storm.
Today, the family center does home-based services for children under 2, with weekly sessions at the center with parents.
Early Steps has been approved for one full-day prekindergarten class as part of Mayor de Blasio's universal pre-K program.
There are also programs for fathers and for parents looking to get GEDs.
The center is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. to help serve parents who work and have to make the long commute to and from Manhattan, though Ayala said most students go home much earlier than 6 p.m.
Riley said parents set up play dates for their children outside of the center and have made friends with each other.
She added that post-Sandy, more than ever, the center, which her daughter calls "school," is needed in the community.
"People don't realize the effect Sandy had on the children here. It really stopped their growth and learning in its tracks," Riley said. "We're so glad to have this center back."

Label for a text box.
This program is nearing completion. I have a textbox - top left - for search word input and I would like to put a label on it. I have had no luck so far and would like some help.
The form tag is not one that I have used and my attempts to understand it have not been very fruitful.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.

I only added the inline style because your text is black. You should put it in your external CSS though.Code:<form> <input type="text" size="61" style="padding: 2px;" id="text" onkeyup="javascript:void($('a').removeHighlight().highlight(document.getElementById('text').value)); return false;"/> <label style="color:#fff;" for="text">Search</label> </form>

For the last three years, I have watched very intently, has anyone any idea where the seed for Bleeding heart Dicentra might be? The tiny flowers don't seem to last long enough to set seed but I know there must be as seed companies offer them. TIA for your help.
Nancy |
Follow-Up Postings:
After the flowers are done, if they form seed they would start having green pencil-like (although only less than 1/8" thick and up to about 3/4" long) pods hanging down, just like the flowers did. When they are ready to open, they would have black seeds inside. Commercially, just look around at the usual seed sources for them. They aren't hard to find. But you do need to sow them quite fresh. |

Currently you can buy Paula's Choice products directly from this site and a few top-rated products from other brands are available via links to affiliate websites. We review and recommend products from other brands because we are dedicated to helping you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or other lines.
Paula's Choice products are formulated using the same exacting standards we use to review products from other brands.
You have chosen to add to your My Faves.
Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
Lip Ink is a pretty accurate description of the lightweight texture and long-lasting pigment that this lip stain provides, but the fragranced formula isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Because the doe-foot, sponge-tip applicator doesn't contour to lips, it's a bit tricky to spread the liquidy formula on evenly and stay within your lip line (and that's a real problem given how tenacious the formula is).
The shade range could also use some help. The color swatches online and in-store don't do a very good job of representing the true color so it takes quite a bit of experimenting to find a suitable shade. Even then, not everyone will find a color they love since soft, universally flattering hues are lacking.
Rouge Infusion Lip Ink does deliver long-lasting, rich color, but because it wears off unevenly, it can end up looking messy. Save your money, and check out our Best Lip Stains list for superior, fragrance-free options!
Irritation from Fragrance
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin. (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135 and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22.)
Sephora's first foray into skin care was back in 1994, when they offered a colorful, artfully packaged selection of bath gels. Their facial skin-care came on the scene a few years later, but for the most part wasn't worth waiting for. Sephora must not have been too pleased with these earlier versions, because lots of retooling has been done, although, sad to say, that hasn't improved on the ordinary, mundane status their products have consistently shared. Makeup is what Sephora's house brand does best. The only reason to shop this inexpensive skin-care selection is for everyday basics or the occasional impulse buy you may or may not enjoy adding to your routine. Otherwise, most of the skin-care products can't compete with the other brands sold in Sephora boutiques worldwide.
Note: Sephora is categorized as one that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Sephora may not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.
For more nformation about Sephora, call (877) 737-4672 or visit www.sephora.com.
Sephora Makeup
Once an incomplete line lacking such basics as foundation and concealer, Sephora's color collection has blossomed into a comprehensive group of products, most of which are priced considerably lower than products from the many other lines sold in their boutiques. Although the low price and the selection may draw you in, not everything is worth exploring; for example, some of the products (for example the inexpensive pencils, which are not worth considering) demonstrate the old adage that sometimes you really do get what you pay for. That's not to say you have to spend a lot of money for quality makeup, but it does seem that many of Sephora's potential bargains are below average in terms of performance.
What you really should pay attention to are the pressed-powder foundation, one of the concealers, the powder blush, the liquid shimmer, and a few of the mascaras. Of course, the hallmark of this line has always been an extensive selection of makeup brushes. That still holds true, and you'll find that in this case the prices are more than fair.
More than most other makeup lines, Sephora excels with their accessory offerings. From makeup bags to train cases and on to all manner of beauty tools (from tweezers to nail clippers and manicure aids), the selection means you will assuredly find something that meets your needs. It's easy to get caught up in the variety and scope of Sephora's makeup, and testers are readily available so you can play all you want. That's great, but it doesn't compensate for a line with more than its share of average to poor products (and they change frequently, often not for the better). However, if you pay attention to the favorably rated products, you're more than likely to be very pleased.

Never Summer Raptor X Snowboard - Wide
Not for beginers
I bought the board in the 2011/12 season and I have been riding since 1991. This is the best board I've ever owned or ridden. I live by the factory and had some base scratches from doing a chute without enough snow they fixed it to be like new again and even gave me a tour and some free swag. Basically they build an awesome product then stand behind it 100%.

Partly because of my training in biological anthropology, partly because of my years as a migrant worker, and partly because of my model of low-input agriculture, I am quite convinced of the efficiency of the human engine.
Many years ago, my girlfriend and I set out from Tungsten Mine in the Pasayten Wilderness in Washington state, walking to the trailhead at Irongate Camp. Just after us a party of horse packers left the old abandoned mine to go the same distance. We arrived at the trailhead well before the other party. This was a distance of 18 miles and we had already done the 3 miles down from Cathedral Pass in the morning before we set out from the mine, so our total was 21 miles for the day and we carried all our gear. The horse packers may have done a little sightseeing and the horses probably got a little time for grazing, but it was quite easy for us to cover the same distance as the horses while carrying full packs. Our input (female 2000 plus male 2500 for the whole day) was 4500 calories or less. Each horse's input was 12,000 - 15,000 calories, depending on their load, plus there were riders using up around 1500 extra calories or more per person. Clearly, us humans could do the work of carrying gear and covering the distance required at a much lower energy input than the horses.
The human engine is very efficient. As you step out, neurons fire and muscles contract. Then the pendulum action of your step moves the mass of your body forward. As you step down again the muscles contract again, but also use some of the energy stored by the pendulum action. As you continue in motion, alternating right and left legs, you use the kinetic energy in a rhythmic motion that moves you forward in a very efficient manner. The pendulum is the key to the efficiency of bipedal motion. Efficient quadrupeds, like wolves, can travel greater distances in a day's time - up to a 100 miles per day in winter - but they need large quantities of high energy foods, like moose meat, to do so. Horses are pikers compared to wolves and humans.
The human hand is a very efficient tool, especially with the opposable thumb. Because of the length of our thumb and its position on the hand, we can do all kinds of things our nearest relatives, the chimpanzees and bonobos cannot. With our grotesquely-enlarged brain we can invent all kinds of tools to help us manage our daily lives, but the arrangement of our digits means we start out with 10 tools at our disposal - 5 on each hand.
Let me provide an example of how efficient the human engine really is. As many of you know, I farm using tillers and human labor, because the quantities of gasoline and diesel needed for tractor agriculture makes it unsustainable. In other words, my inputs from human labor and the 15-20 gallons of gas I use in my tillers per year to grow food on 1.5-2.0 acres is much lower than my outputs in food calories. Tractors use even more fuel than tillers, so the general rule is if you are riding on it while you are working, it is unsustainable because the fossil fuel calorie inputs will exceed the food calorie outputs. Sitting while working becomes the tipping point in sustainability.
Three days ago, I tilled up about 15,000 square feet, or a little over a third of an acre, in 3 hours. I used a gallon of gas, which has a thermodynamic value of 31,000 calories per gallon. My human calorie value was 375 calories guiding the self-propelled tiller as my overall work is calculated at 125 calories per hour. Total inputs for 15,000 square feet were 31,375 calories or 2.09 calories per square foot. Rounding to 2 calories per square foot for convenience, the question is: "How much soil could I till up in one hour with a shovel, hoe and/or cultivator at 2 calories per square foot?" Since I work at a rate of 125 calories per hour all day long and I am not even breathing hard and barely sweating, I calculate I should be able to dig up 62.5 square feet of garden and rake it to the same consistency of a first pass with a tiller in one hour. It should be noted that this is not sod, but half bare ground that wasn't covered over the winter and half with a cover crop on it. The cover crops were favas and wheat, which provided a range of tilling difficulty.
62.5 square feet of ground is less than an 8 x 8 foot square, so the question is, "Can I dig up an 8 foot square in an hour?" That's easy! Of course I can! Two days ago I and one other person dug up the soil in two hoop houses in less than an hour. Each hoop house was 30 x 10 feet, so the total area came to 600 square feet. One of us used a hoe and the other a bent-tine cultivator, what I call a potato fork. The ground in the hoop houses had been planted with a vetch/rye cover crop last fall and we had whacked it down to ground level a week before to make it easier to dig. Some rye had grown up again, but it wasn't jungley at all. The digging was fairly straightforward - just whack at it and turn it over. A shovel would have taken longer, but using the right tools, the calorie load for two people for one hour - 250 calories - and a conservative estimate of one hour for 600 square feet, the input calculation comes out to .42 calories per square foot to work up ground with a mowed cover crop on it. We should add in a little time to mow the crop down with a scythe or for chopping the cover crop in (the reason some people use oats, by the way, as it chops in easily), so rounding up to 1/2 calorie per square foot using hand tools seems reasonable.
So . . . 2 calories per square foot using a self-propelled walk-behind tiller and a human to guide it versus 1/2 calorie per square foot using human labor and hand tools. Quite a difference in the overall picture isn't it? The human with a shovel or hoe is 4 times as efficient as a tiller and probably many times more efficient than a tractor. [I will have to get some data on tractor fuel use for a more rigorous comparison.] In the future, as we run out of fossil fuels and are gasping for breath in a carbon-laden atmosphere, we will still be able to till up ground, prepare seed beds, plant, weed and harvest using the most efficient engine on the planet - the human organism. Right now, we could put the unemployed to work digging up land and growing food by hand to feed the starving masses, but we would have to have a massive redistribution of wealth to pay their wages. Even though it makes sense and is doable right now, it is unlikely because of the inequities built into our modern life. In the future, after the American empire has collapsed, maybe we can get it done. The model is right in front of you. You just have to pay a fair wage to people to do the work.

How do you get going again after pregnancy?
MM hats off to you for doing any miles in these conditions never mind 20!
I remember as a student going to a conference in Ljubljana and after a night out we stopped off at the local equivalent of the kebab shop. It was called 'The Hungry Horse'........and it was yummy
If I go and see Les Mis it will be at the wk end with my Dad so won't have to pay!
Really fun afternoon in the snow in Epping Forest, proper snow, proper sledging. I felt like I was in a ski resort.
boo to poorly neighbours, icy runs, expensive photo shoots, horse meat.
yippee to getting the miles done, good films and happy hubbys.
Only did 5k today as only had brief window- did it under 25mins though so according to race calc I could just snick under 4 hours for the mara.....
Rf - what practice wouldn't want a tv star nurse?!!
Pics of Matilda's dress on facebook.
Skype meeting now - think I will need to move to the deck. Glad that we don't usually use the video because I'm still in my running kit - if I shared an office I would be offending many people with my stink!!
Extremely cute Hoggle - and she really does remind me of my M! I see some tantrums in your future........
Oh awesome thanks Caro!! Esp after your latest story about the wee!!! She definitely knows her own mind and is a fairly determined wee soul!!
Well done on that 20-miler MM, in those conditions can well imagine how fun it was!!
Horse meat - wouldn't know if I've eaten it, probs wouldn't choose it but not sure I'd know the difference! However, if actually pieces of horse meat are going to be in what I buy then they should be listed as an ingredient. Have to say, I make my own burgers anyway, avoids all that other sh*t they put in that so isn't needed!!
Yay to all the bargains TT
Chai seeds - tried them in the summer and I reckon they do work, meaning to get back to them when I get round to some consistent longer miles.
Hoggle - will check out FB and the dress-making. Wierd hearing of all your heat at the mo. Envious of your hubbys mountain climbing.
Well done for all those getting out running - and esp the sub 25 min 10km - Camlo ... of course you can do a sub 4 hour mara ...
No running for me today - have been icing dodgy ankle and tonight been rollering around my calf muscles with this great squashy ball I have with little rubber spikes on it - is fab. Going to stick with some mountain biking for the next few days and see if I can clear the ankle up. Sounds a bit wacky but there is proven info that women are more susceptible to joint/ligament injuries in second half of cycle as things still loosen off ... bah humbug!!!
Kids shattered today after mega late night at Orienteering awards ceremony but went out for a brisk walk round village and beach, collected some lovely driftwood and then came back for car to collect one huge lump that looks like a totem pole!! and another which will do for chopping up for the fire!!!
Hubby not returning to work until Tues which is fab (moved flights and is working from home). Don't get a look-in on the computer when he's around though.
Sorry, I know I've missed lots.
Not much snow for us but it is NOT warm at all, esp with the brisk easterly blowing!!
Boo to lack of sleep RF. Hope R is better soon and you don't succumb to any nasty bugs.
Oh dear Camlo. We have had the joy of threadworms a couple of times. And yes you can def bag sub4.
Must go on FB and look for the pics Hoggle I have missed them.
Well done on the 20 and a good weeks training MM.
84 miles for me last week instead of the 90+ it should have been because I was dying yesterday! We had a great night with friends over on Sat but I rather overdid the gin, baileys and wine mix . Didn't get to bed until 4am and was so ill yesterday. Annoyed with myself but my last rest day without a run was exactly 6 weeks ago so probably long overdue. Shame I probably wont get the benefit of it since my poor body was trying to recover from alcohol poisoning, lol. Was such a fun night though.
At work just now so better get on with some!
Def needed a rest day Lotte. I have one every week just for a mental break more than anything. You sound like I did on New years day!! We are bonkers aren't we !!
Still full of cold, but managed to get up and ran 10 very slow miles on the road on a route that rarely gets icey as always gritted so emergency vehicles get can get to the M4. So it was fine, but slow as still feeling under the weather. But another 10 bagged. Easy week this week so will be about 70 miles and not so many doubles.
Had massage at lunchtime to try and get rid of this achilles niggle, driving me potty as just won't go. Never gets worse or better just stays the same. Grrr!
Yes fab dress Hoggle. I am really struggling to get to grips with mine as just can't get the tension right on it. Plus just don't seem to have the time!!
How do you know you've got a thread worm infestation. What are the symptoms? How do you treat it? Not had one here as far as I know but wouldn't know what I'm looking for anyway!!
Boys in art club so going to get them in a mo. So relieved the snow is melting. Fun for a couple of days, then when the ice starts and the slush I hate it. I know miserable old fart I am!!
Hubbie out tonight so some core and stretching for me and an early night...
MM - I'm with you on the snow, we had a great time in it over the weekend but now that I'm back at work and after having to do 7 miles on the treadmill yesterday (as it just wasn't safe to try and run in my inov8s with no grip on them at all), I'm ready for it to bugger off now.
Lotte - I thought you Scots were supposed to be able to handle your drink and it was only us southern softies who got hangovers . Sounds like a fun evening!
Talking of drinking, I failed on my dry January again this year and had a cheeky glass of wine on Friday night. It's always the third weekend that I struggle to get past. Red wine tastes even better after a break from it though, mmmm!
RF - hope you get a better night tonight, I can never sleep with an ill little on in the bed either, hope she's better soon.
I've just been on the Royal Parks Half website as was going to go into the ballot again this year to try and get a place but the price is now £46!!!! I really enjoyed it when I did it back in 2010 but I don't think I can justify paying £46 for a race, that's way more than I paid when I did it before.
Right, kids in bed and hubby due back any minute so best get on with the dishes.
Phew hot here again today - shall send some your way to melt all your ice! I'm selfishly hoping that the delayed flights doesn't delay my kindle thats been posted out!
God I REALLY need to get abck into work mode! I have been cruising for the past 2 weeks which was fine when there wasn't much on but now I really need to get stuck in and have a serious attack of the CBA's! Been out to the toy library this morning, tried to do some jobs for my sister and failed. Now what I would really like to do is spend an hour doing some gardening - so not allowed!!!
My 'LSR' tomorrow!! Wish I could go earlier than 8am to beat the heat but would need to go before hubby leaves for work and that would be before 5am - so a no go.

I used to love grabbing smoothies, until I stumbled across the nutrition facts! I was really in shock when I looked up the nutritional information for my favorite smoothie, the jamba juice banana berry smoothie. The smoothie can contain up to 560 calories, and GET THIS, 115g of sugar. You think you are doing something good for your body, instead you are overloading it with tons of added sugar and other hidden culprits like frozen yogurt and sherbet! While the froyo and sherbet they add are fat free, they are desserts in themselves, and not something I want in mid day pick me up.
I came up with a smoothie that is just as creamy, thick and sweet as jambas smoothies, without all the added calories, sugar, and frozen desserts.

SAFECO Field
Attendance: None
Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Ken Griffey Jr. hit a pair of doubles, including the eventual game-winning two-run double in the bottom of the seventh, as the Seattle Mariners edged the Toronto Blue Jays, 3-2, in the rubber match of a three-game series at Safeco Field.
Jose Lopez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run for the Mariners, who have won two in a row after a four-game skid. Ichiro Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a run scored to extend his home hitting streak to a career-high 21 games.
Ryan Rowland-Smith (1-1), who took a no-hitter into the seventh, gave up two runs on a season-low three hits with a season-high four strikeouts and a season-low zero walks in a seven-inning start to collect his first win of the year. It was his third start of the year. David Aardsma picked up his 25th save of the season.
"I knew I was pitching against Roy (Halladay). He's someone I'll watch, try to learn from. To beat him, to have the guys come back in the (seventh) inning, that was huge, it was a great feeling," Rowland-Smith said.
Adam Lind stroked a two-run homer for the Blue Jays, who have lost five of seven. No Toronto player had more than one hit in the tilt.
Roy Halladay (11-4) went seven frames, allowing three runs on a season-high 11 hits with six strikeouts to take the loss. This could have been Halladay's last start in a Toronto uniform as trade rumors continue to swirl before the Friday deadline. Although, it seems the AL's Cy Young Award winner in 2003 will remain with the Blue Jays, as the Phillies have acquired Cliff Lee from the Indians in a six-player deal on Wednesday.
"It's not fun to go through, that's why I'm doing the best I can to turn the page right now. There's not much I can control as this point. There comes a point where you have to quit worrying about those things and do the best you can to move on," Halladay said.
After the Blue Jays took a 2-1 edge in the top of the seventh, Seattle responded with a pair of runs of its own in the home half to take a one-run lead. Michael Saunders and Suzuki stroked back-to-back singles to start things. Following a Franklin Gutierrez fly out, Lopez singled to load the bases. Griffey stepped up and laced a two-run double to right. Halladay got out of the frame by getting Chris Shelton to go down looking.
Mark Lowe and Aardsma combined to pitch a scoreless eighth and ninth, respectively, to secure the victory for Seattle.
The Mariners threatened to score when Lopez laced a two-out double to left in the first inning. Griffey, though, grounded out to end the frame.
Seattle had a chance to score in the second, as Kenji Johjima was hit by a pitch and Jack Hannahan reached first on Kevin Millar's fielding error. Chris Woodward then singled to left, but Johjima was thrown out at the plate.
Rowland-Smith's only blemish early on came in the third. After retiring the first six batters in order, Rowland-Smith hit Millar with a pitch. He got the next three batters to pop out, though.
Lopez's two-out, solo shot to left in the fifth broke a scoreless tie.
Rowland-Smith lost the lead and his bid for a no-hitter in the top of the seventh. After retiring 12 consecutive batters, Aaron Hill singled to left. Lind then stepped to the plate and blasted a 1-1 slider over the wall in right-center field. Rowland-Smith retired two of the next three batters to prevent further damage.
