• Hello & Welcome •
Since you are here, you are either in need of florals for a special event or you simply love flowers and meeting new people (like me!)
I have been a florist for over 12 years. My style is natural and garden-inspired. What I love about designing is that no two arrangements are the same. I strive to consciously arrange flowers, not too wild and not too structured.
When I am not blissfully arranging flowers I try to read a little, knit a little, compost a lot, and hang out with my husband and pups (a lot!).
Thank you for your interest, I look forward to working with you soon.

High-Throughput RF Coils for High-Field MRI
Award Information
Small Business Information
Principal Investigator:
() -
() -
Business Contact:
(803) 788-6497
Research Institution:
AbstractDESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): Improvements in signal to noise ratio (SNR) and ease of use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) rf coils are needed to improve image quality and patient throughput. The goal of this Phase I project is to develop a novel rf coil topology that promises substantially improved technical performance, reduced cost, and greatly simplified tuning procedures. Advanced, proprietary, simulation software and coil technology permits the design of coils that utilize both paralleled conductor elements with insulated crossovers and segmented phase shifts to achieve circular polarization with improved homogeneity in an easily tunable structure. We expect to demonstrate feasibility of a quadrature, semi-shielded, passively shimmed rf litz coil with suppressed axial flux and an asymmetric axial field profile. The Phase I effort will see the completion and bench testing of a coil for human head MRI at 3 T. The rf shield is expected to reduce radiation losses by two orders of magnitude compared to the unshielded birdcage and permit maximum access to the patient's head for visual and auditory stimulation protocols. Tune-up time will be reduced by more than an order of magnitude. Light-load (small patient) SNR is expected to exceed that of conventional birdcages by about 4 dB, equivalent to 60 percent reduction in image acquisition time. The design will be compatible with EPI (Echo Planar Imaging) and will be suitable for use from 1 to 5 T. Field testing is expected at the beginning of Phase II at the Massachusetts General Hospital. The Phase II will continue with the development of quadrature Iitz coils for head, knee, heart, and neck. The objective is to permit a substantial increase in MRI patient throughput (thereby reducing scan costs) via relatively inexpensive upgrades of head, knee, heart, and neck rf coils in existing high-field MRI scanners and/or enable the more detailed diagnostic studies that are currently not practical because image acquisition time would be excessive. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: There are approximately 12,000 MRI systems installed world-wide, and annual equipment sales are currently about $3B. The proposed rf head coil would permit substantially improved image resolution, reduced imaging time (hence, cost), and reduced patient distress for head imaging in most high field MRI scanners above 0.8 T at the relatively modest upgrade cost of $30,000 to $50,000, depending on field. Total upgrade market potential over the decade following completion of the Phase II exceeds $40M.

How The Swine Flu Is Impacting The World
Article by Eva Judge
The swine flu is hardly limited to Australia. This latest flu epidemic is spanning the globe, prompting worry and panic in millions of people around the world. As the WHO announces that nearly two billion people may ultimately be infected, it is important to remember that people everywhere are grappling with it.
The Swine Flu: Originating In Mexico, Radiating Worldwide –
The swine flu originally began appearing in Mexico; since then, it has produced 13,500 cases in that country and has been responsible for approximately 125 deaths. Like the bird flu, though, the swine flu radiated outward from Mexico. In Canada, nearly 10,000 cases and dozens of deaths have been reported; the U.S., which lies between Canada and Mexico, has seen a whopping 40,000 cases and 263 deaths – the highest number of fatalities out of any other country in the world. Considering that the U.S. has a prominent influenza vaccine programme, this is quite incredible.
From North America, the swine flu has made its way steadily and ceaselessly around the globe. In South America, Argentina is the country with the second number of fatalities in the world, at 165 confirmed deaths. Europe has largely escaped the wrath of the swine flu; in fact, Russia claims to have only experienced nine confirmed cases of the disease. Countries like France and Germany have reported modest numbers of cases, but far fewer than those reported in North America and South America. Although China has reported few cases, here in Australia the total number has crept up to 14,000 and there have been 40 fatalities to date.
The Swine Flu: Already Deadlier Than The Bird Flu –
Worldwide towards the end of 2006, the bird flu claimed just over one hundred deaths. Obviously, the swine flu has already far exceeded that number. If the estimates being made by the World Health Organization are correct, then the swine flu will claim many more victims yet. Australians continue to brace themselves for more implications from this outbreak, with pregnant women and indigenous people being listed as most at-risk.
Although the news is certainly not good, it is also important to keep calm and not panic. Through ensuring that you take an flu vaccination and paying attention to the published advice, you can keep the flu at bay. When all is said and done, it can be hoped that the estimates made by the WHO are proven wrong; if not, people can still band together to fight off the swine flu.

From the Editor: Back to School
From the Editor
Back to School
Joshua Hoffman
Over the past few weeks,
I've been fortunate enough to receive a refresher course in what it's like to be a working IT professional. As summer comes to a close and thoughts turn toward going back to school, this certainly seems appropriate. But I must admit, it was a bit of a shock just the same.
You see, the Magazine team here at Microsoft (the group responsible for publishing both
MSDN Magazine
TechNet Magazine
), is in the process of reviewing and enhancing our … well … process. We finally decided that, it being 2008 and all, we needed to let go of the remaining paper layouts and colored pencil markups and go completely digital. (I know, I know—we're such innovators!) Seriously, though, it was time for us to realize some of that extra efficiency those big software companies keep touting.
While adjusting to our new digital workflow, it quickly became apparent that we were being inhibited by the tool that tracked the status of articles. It was already "digital," but it was built on some pretty antiquated technology (which we hope to be ridding our world of forever) and was supplemented by little colored boxes printed at the top of each layout. High tech, huh? So I set out to build a proof-of-concept replacement, and I figured SharePoint would be perfect.
Let me skip ahead and just say that I have a newfound respect for the SharePoint administrators among you. This isn't a knock against SharePoint—if anything, it speaks to the power and flexibility of the platform—but creating a custom workflow solution in SharePoint is really hard! (Thankfully, we have our new Inside SharePoint column to help.) Getting my hands dirty with this challenge after a few years off the front lines was a clarion call for me, though—it is time for me to head into the classroom again.
There are a number of great resources out there to help you dig back into the basics, or ramp up on something new: everything from the new "How Do I?" series of videos on TechNet (
), to the screencasts we're doing in the magazine (.com/video), to TechNet Edge (
), and more. But I think it's probably time to expand our "basics" coverage in
TechNet Magazine
itself. Not to boast, but I think we've been pretty good about providing the deep-dive technical material you've come to know and (hopefully) love. Still, I don't think it would hurt for us to re-examine the fundamentals every now and again. So enjoy what's left of your summer, because pretty soon, we're all going back to school. —Joshua Hoffman

FOXBOROUGH Tom Brady made his preseason debut, completing 8 of 10 passes and leading the Patriots to a touchdown drive in two series of play before exiting Friday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Brady connected with wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins for a 15-yard touchdown. He also threw an interception to Philadelphia's Cary Williams that was returned 77 yards for a touchdown. He finished with 81 passing yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
Patriots rookie quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo entered the game after Brady. He threw two touchdowns in the first half on 6 of 12 passing for 72 yards. He found fullback James Develin and wide receiver Brandon LaFell for scores.
The Eagles' Nick Foles threw a 4-yard touchdown to tight end Zach Ertz while backup quarterback Mark Sanchez the former New York Jet threw a disputable 6-yard touchdown to Arrelious Benn that appeared to bounce off the ground after going through Ifeanyi Momah's hands, his intended target.
The Patriots and Eagles were knotted at the half, 21-21.

Lorenzo knows that winning Qatar is no guarantee of the world championship, as he found to his dismay in 2013.
But Jorge Lorenzo knows what it takes to win the Qatar Grand Prix, and he will bid for a third consecutive win in the race which opens the MotoGP season in Doha on Sunday.
Lorenzo opened the 2013 season will a sublime victory in Qatar, the first of eight wins for the season, the most of any rider.
But, come last November, Lorenzo lost the title to precocious rookie and fellow Spaniard Marc Marquez (six wins) by just four points.
For a rider addicted to winning like Lorenzo, this was a bitter pill swallow.
He wants to set the record straight, and that means another head-on battle with Marquez who claimed the bragging rights in motorcycle-mad Spain with his historic rookie title win last year.
"I have a lot energy and motivation to win the title again and, obviously, when you lose a championship like I did to Marc last year, you want to recover that championship maybe more than if you had never won it," said twice world champion Lorenzo.
"Last year I lost the championship, but Marc deserved it because he was a rookie and he won a lot of races.
"It was only four points but without my result in Le Mans [seventh with a rain tire issue] it should have been enough to win the championship. And then there were my collarbone injuries with crashes in Assen and Germany."
While he graciously concedes that Marquez is a worthy champion, it barely masks a steely mindset to win a third MotoGP world championship to add to his 2010 and '12 titles
"Anything can happen but I will fight the maximum to be the champion again," Lorenzo adds.
Lorenzo correctly notes there are a lot of unknowns for this season with the real competitive status of the Open Class bikes, and the concessions to Ducati, still to be measured over race distance.
Sunday's Qatar GP will answer a lot of those questions, most pointedly is whether the dashing one-lap speed of Aleix Espargaro on an open class Yamaha M1 is capable of being sustained over 20 laps?
Espargaro was fastest in the first two opening practices for Sunday's race and much faster than Lorenzo on a factory class M1 on a track with low grip levels.
Espargaro and Ducati rider Andrea Iannone had the benefit of last week's pre-season Qatar test while the factory riders were at Phillip Island in Australia.
But it is the gift of the open class 24 liter fuel allocation and soft rear tire to Ducati riders Andrea Dovizioso and Cal Crutchlow – a move to help Ducati win again – that most intrigues Lorenzo.
And then is the increasingly awesome factory Honda RC213V, on which Marquez will defend his title and Dani Pedrosa will attempt to win his first.
"No one knows what will happen," Lorenzo said. "The Ducati looks stronger but who knows if it can win races. With the Open class spec, the Ducati is fast without the soft tire so Imagine if they can use the soft tire in all the races.
"Espargaro's bike is more or less the same as mine but with more fuel and a soft tire. It could be very strong.
"And then there is the Honda, which is just fast everywhere, and you must imagine that Marc will be a better rider than he was last year. It will not be easy to win a lot of races this year."
The slow pace of Lorenzo and other factory riders in early practice at Qatar should be ignored. What will more accurately set the pattern for the season will be if Lorenzo can win a third straight race in Doha.
It won't guarantee the title, but it will surely set the scene for another titanic battle against Marquez for the crown; and the hearts and minds of Spanish fans.Jorge Lorenzo, MotoGP, Yamaha

IMO the crux of the problem with the Phoenix in "First Contact" is that they insisted that Cochrane developed the warp drive basically in his garage, in the middle of a new dark age. Right.
That was the problem I had too. In the Reeves-Stevens novel "Federation," it was established that Cochrane worked with a whole team of scientists to develop warp drive, and it was only after he had completed his prototype that the war started. That makes much more sense than what was shown in the movie. However, Star Trek seems to have always had a problem with technology being developed by committee; take the transporter in ENT. Again, they establish that it was created by just one guy.

Has it ever actually been established that the ring on the XCV-330 is in fact its warp drive--assuming it was a warp ship at all? I've always has the impression that it was a habitation ring, which rotated to create artificial gravity
No, it was never established to be a warp drive. It was only after the Vulcan ships in ENT were shown that people equated their design with this old drawing. IIRC, Doug Drexler said he was influenced by the design, but that doesn't mean that the ship had annular warp drive as well. As a matter of fact, the drawing seems to show the propulsion as rocket exhaust coming from the rear of the ship.

Part of the S-Class, the Mercedes Benz S320 is a testament to the brand's commitment to safety, comfort, and state-of-the-art automotive engineering. The roots of the S320 go way back to its predecessor, the Ponton, which was released in 1954. Several decades later, the first official S-Class vehicle was introduced in 1972.
1972-1998: 1st-, 2nd-, and 3rd-gen models in a nutshell
The first S-Class series was the W116. It featured disc brakes and a four-wheel independent suspension and was available in SE and SEL trims. A total of 473,035 units were produced, which was a groundbreaking achievement for the company. This series' pioneer safety features include a padded steering wheel, padded window trims, a rainwater management system, and headrests equipped with a center depression.
The second-generation series (W126) continued to trail the blaze when it comes to engineering and safety. Its features included a more aerodynamic exterior and a bigger aluminum engine block. These were complemented by a new cruise control system and a top-of-the-range 450 SEL 6.9 engine.
The third-gen series (W140), which was more expensive than the W116, featured electric windows, rear-parking markers, double-pane glaze for the windows, a self-closing boot lid, and an upgraded heating system.
1999-2005: Introduction of the S320 and other engine models
Smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the W220 or fourth-generation series under the S-Class was introduced in 1998. Although this series was more focused on style, it was still able to deliver in terms of performance and safety. Cars under this series also came in different engine configurations and models that included the S320. Standard S320 features include a high-tech navigation system, the Airmatic air suspension, Active Ventilated seats, a radar-controlled cruise control system, and the 4MATIC all-wheel drive layout. In terms of reliability, the S320 along with the other fourth-gen S-Class cars earned a 9/10 expert rating from MSN Autos and a 5/5 reliability rating from Edmunds.
In 2002, several upgrades were introduced. This generation introduced the first-ever pre-emptive safety system and received an upgrade on its front fascia. The grille's position was adjusted and a new transparent housing covered the Xenon headlights.
2005-2013: The all-new S320 CDI under the W221 series
For the fifth-generation S-Class vehicles, engine options now included the S250 CDI, S300, S350, S400 HYBRID, and the S320 and S420 CDI. Introduced at the North American International Auto Show in 2006, the S320 CDI and other W221 models feature dimensions larger than their predecessor and new engines. The interior materials became more luxurious and a column-mounted shifter replaced the transmission gear lever. High-tech features include the latest pre-collision system developed by Mercedes Benz and a Night View Assist system that uses infrared.
In 2010, the Xenon lamps were now equipped with LED lights and the rear LED lights were rearranged. A new front bumper and a redesigned grille were added for a sleeker interior. In 2013, the last S320 was produced. The W221 was then followed by the W222 series under the sixth generation.

'Stop funding to rescue Hasankeyf'
ISTANBUL - The historic town of Hasankeyf, home to many archaeological sites, can be saved if international funding for the Ilısu Dam project is cut, says former Turkey director of the World Bank. He says the World Bank has ended its support for the project despite initial backing
Archaeological sites in the historic town of Hasankeyf that are at risk of being submerged can be saved if external funding sources for the Ilısu Dam are cut, said the former country director of the World Bank in Turkey.
Speaking at the American Research Institute in Turkey Monday, Andrew Vorkink said he believes cutting off the external sources of funding for the controversial Ilısu Dam project is the only way to postpone, and eventually stop, its construction, which endangers the archaeological sites located in the Hasankeyf area.
Supported in his opinion by one of the members of the Initiative to Keep Hasankeyf Alive, Vorkink cited the example of the United Kingdom, the first country to financially contribute to the construction of the Ilısu Dam. Public pressure forced the UK to withdraw its participation one year later, and Turkey was forced to search for other means of financial support. Since 2004, Germany, Switzerland and Austria have offered alternative funding sources for the dam, but the project was suspended in December 2008 because of protests by domestic and international organizations.
According to Vorkink, who is currently a visiting professor at
's Boğaziçi University, the involvement of international parties and the scale of the Ilısu project make it the most relevant development initiative taking place in Turkey.
Atatürk Dam
If sufficient financial resources are available for the project, he said, the Turkish government is unlikely to give up on the dam, citing the prior construction of the Atatürk Dam, which was completed despite the tension it created between Turkey and Syria. The blocking of river-water flow for one month in order to fill the Atatürk Dam's reservoir, Vorkink said, is believed to be one of the reasons that started Syrian support for the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
The World Bank, which was among the first institutions to finance the construction of the Ilısu Dam, has refused to give further support to the project, deeming that it did not meet standards for preservation of archaeological sites, despite the Turkish government's willingness to spent 30 million euros to move 14 historical sites. The World Bank has also revised its policy toward similar projects and does not provide any financial assistance to initiatives that will have a negative impact on cultural heritage, population or the environment. As a result of the new policy, the organization has likewise withdrawn its support for the construction of the world's biggest dam, the Three Gorges Dam in China, which has caused the resettlement of nearly 2 million people.
The construction of the Ilısu Dam is part of the Southeastern Anatolia Project, or GAP, which aims to bring irrigation to the driest part of Turkey and provide the region with potable water and electricity in order to raise its productivity.

Layoffs are imminent.
That was the message from Florida A&M administrators Wednesday when trustees approved a $16.2 million reduction to the university's 2009-2010 operating budget — another sign of the state's dismal economic status.
Chief Financial Officer Teresa Hardee told trustees that the goal in the past has been to protect academic programs and to safeguard jobs. But that was before FAMU's deepening financial cuts totalling $16.7 million from 2007-2009 came into play. ...

However I am not sure why you object to the TheFreeDictionary meaning. A number of posters seem to accept that the term "rip-off" can be applied to stories etc. The main difficulty seems to be appreciating how it can be used within a franchise and that has been covered.

I think two things cemented that Kirk and Spock were friends in

: Kirk not allowing Spock to die on Nibiru and that Kirk wanted Spock reinstated as his first officer when asking for his command back (and Spock accepted). I think Spock felt the same way but simply didn't know how to show it.
I think Kirk would have tried to save any member of his crew and the bit about Spock leaving Kirk behind if their positions were reversed seems to show how tenuous their relationship still was. Moreover why wouldn't Kirk want, potentially at least, the best first officer in the fleet?

Freedom of Information
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) gives people a general right of access to information held by or on behalf of public authorities. It is intended to promote a culture of openness and accountability amongst public sector bodies, and therefore to facilitate better public understanding of how public authorities carry out their duties, why they make the decisions they do, and how they spend public money.
Anyone has the right to ask public authorities for any information they hold, although there are some exemptions that may prevent information being released.
To make a Freedom of Information request please e-mail: email@example.com
Or alternatively write to:
Freedom of Information Office
Information Governance
Staffordshire Commissioning Support Service
Herbert Minton Building
London Road
Stoke on Trent ST4 7PZ
All FOI requests received via any other routes are also forwarded immediately to the Freedom of Information Office so that a standard approach can be taken. Requests are handled in accordance with the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and wherever possible best practice guidelines from the Information Commissioner's Office and the Ministry of Justice are followed to maximise openness and transparency. Further information on the Freedom of Information Act 2000 can be found here or in this factsheet.
Publications Scheme
Every public authority is required to adopt and maintain an approved publication scheme, which gives a commitment to routinely and proactively provide information to the public.
NHS Stoke on Trent has adopted the Model Publication Scheme approved by the Information Commissioner's Office.
The Information Commissioner has issued specific guidance about the Information that NHS Trusts are expected to make available. This guidance can be viewed on the Information Commissioner's website by clicking on this link: Definition document for Health Bodies in England.
The publication scheme is organised into the following categories or classes of data:
- Who we are and what we do
Organisational information, structures, locations and contacts.
- What we spend and how we spend it
Financial Information about projected and actual income and expenditure, procurement, contracts and financial audit.
- What our priorities are and how we are doing
Strategies and plans, performance indicators, audits, inspections and reviews
- How we make decisions
Decision making processes and records of decisions.
- Our policies and procedures
Current written protocols, policies and procedures for delivering our services and responsibilities.
- Lists and registers
Information the PCT holds in either a list or register
- Services provided by NHS Stoke on Trent
Information about the services the council provides including leaflet, guidance and newsletters
Charging Information
NHS Stoke on Trent does not intend to charge for the provision of information. In the unusual and extreme cases where it will cost more than the prescribed fees set out by the Information Commissioner's Office (£450 as at July 2009) to identify if the information requested is held, the individual making the request will be advised of:
- The cost implications to action the request (providing a breakdown of both hours and monetary value)
- The provision of advice and assistance from the organisation to allow them to refine their request to reduce the time taken / costs incurred.
In many cases, it will be immediately obvious that dealing with the request will not exceed the cost (£450) limit and it will be dealt with without any need for reference to charging. However we will charge you for hard copies or copying onto media (e.g. CD ROM). We will let you know the cost and charges that will have to be paid in advance. We will not provide printouts of other organisation's websites. Information via email will be free of charge.
