Garner: Rachel Zoe refuses to put me in maternity clothes
There is no better excuse than pregnancy for elastic waistbands and loose-fitting shirts. Unfortunately for Jennifer Garner, who is expecting her third child in February, stylist Rachel Zoe has something else in mind for her.“Rachel Zoe is so determined to not put me in maternity clothes,” the actress told InStyle recently. (Interestingly, Zoe declared Garner her celebrity mom style icon last month).
Indeed, unlike fellow pregnant stars Beyonce or Jessica Simpson, who have lately taken to flaunting their baby bumps, Garner has been seen at events wearing dresses that non-pregnant starlets might also wear on the red carpet.At the AFI screening of Butter in Los Angeles on Nov. 7, Garner wore a loose, asymmetrical Lanvin mini-dress, paired with thick black heels and a whole lotta leg. The previous Saturday, she wore a tightly-fitted black lace dress with towering bronze heels and a black tuxedo jacket at The Hollywood Reporter’s Annual Next Generation Reception.Of course, while Zoe may dictate Garner’s red carpet look, daytime is a different story. In the past few weeks, Garner has been repeatedly photographed out and about in Los Angeles, wearing comfortable clothing that much more closely resembles the wardrobe of an expectant mom: loose fitting jeans, leggings, flats, and maternity tops.
And as for red carpet looks for the duration of her pregnancy, Garner hasn’t given up hope of maternity-wear.“I have four months to go,” Garner said. “Sooner or later, [Zoe] is going to have to put me in a maternity dress. Eventually that is going to happen, but so far she has gotten her way.”How can one attempt Garner’s chic wardrobe on a budget? Rosie Pope, maternity fashion designer and star of Bravo’s “Pregnant In Heels,” uses TODAY.com’s Katie Quinn to showcase the best fall and winter trends for new moms and moms-to-be.
These look like the kind of comfort shoes women wear with grainy suntan-colored pantyhose, not with a designer dress that cost well over $1000. Not that there’s anything wrong with wearing comfort shoes � it’s just that if you need them, you may be past the age of wearing see-through dresses.Susan Sarandon is a gorgeous woman who looks like she took some pretty bad styling advice. Let’s hope she goes back to her great-for-her-figure dresses that feature a knotted bodice and shapely styling.

As you can see day 1, 2, 4 and 5 are about building strength in the upper part of the body. Day 3 and 6 are all about the lower part of the body which gives you the power you need to jump real high.
Focusing on reducing his body fat percentage (its under 10 %) allowed Kobe to save some weight that he actually gained through building up muscles. Besides the workout (running, cardio) sticking to a good diet plan (e.g. avoid fat in the food you eat, take plenty of protein to you, eat red meat only once a week, drink a lot of water also.) is crucial.
Now, last summer (2007), before playing for Team USA he lost almost 20 lbs. (he is at 205 lbs. now) to get his quickness back and worked also on his vertical.
There was much hype with the previous Kobe Bryant signature shoes (including the Hyperdunk Series) that guys over at Nike wanted to outdo themselves by coming up with basketball shoes that perfectly befit the aggressive style of the former MVP.
Expected to be released on December 26, 2009 (release date varies for different locations), the Zoom Kobe 5 (or the ZK5) is unlike its predecessors. It actually looks more like a cross-training shoe than a basketball shoe. But the three-pronged Kobe trademark logo beneath the sole and on the tongue and Kobe signature at the back of the heel are unmistakable. The flywire technology that was a staple in other kobe basketball shoes appeared to be tweaked a bit, this time using a different upper material.
The Zoom Kobe 5 also features a full-length Zoom cushioning – a feature that was introduced in previous collections. This was probably done to increase comfort while the full-mesh tongue and upper are designed to increase breathability. As always, the Nike trademark “swoosh” appears on the side of the shoe.But there are also other recommendable vertical jump programs out there. Actually it’s not about what program to choose but how to do the exercises right: how many times, in what combination and when to take a break for your muscles to regenerate. If you are aware of that and know what and how to do it, you don’t need any vertical program.
But seriously: not that many (young) guys know his, so they start on their own, go over the top at the beginning, don’t get the results they want (which are by the way unrealistic, about 10-15 inches in 3-4 months are doable) and curse all the vertical programs.

Downtown Dresses Up For the Holidays

Signs of the upcoming holiday season can be seen throughout the storefronts of shops in downtown Red Bank as merchants have dressed their windows with seasonal decorations.When it comes to visiting a downtown like Red Bank’s and looking to purchase holiday presents, it’s not just shopping, but shopping with a show. No big box retailer or shopping center can compete with the aesthetic of the classic downtown, Red Bank RiverCenter Executive Director Nancy Adams said.
If you’re looking for holiday charm, as well as plenty of shopping options, this is where you’ll find it. Support your local businesses by participating in Small Business Saturday, the Main Street response to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.Check out the gallery above for some tight shots of what you’ll see if you take a tour through Red Bank’s downtown this season. The merchants included in the above photo gallery are Dor L’ Dor, Flowers on Front, A Time to Kiln, Ginger, Restoration Hardware, Mustillo’s Bridal Boutique, AH Fisher Diamonds, Ten Thousand Villages, Readies, Duxiana, Urban Outfitters, and Jersey Shore Apparel.The centre started two days to Christmas in 1989. The harmattan was on. Mr Ibru and his family were inside their serene and expansive country home at Agbarha-Otor. Something made him leave the room for a garden chair in the patio. Soon, he realised that God was inspiring him to give up his personal use of the vast country home and, instead, deploy it for spiritual use.
It was a clear dialogue with the Holy Spirit, and he returned to the lounge to disclose to his wife, Maiden and their children this experience. The reaction expectedly was disbelief. Ibru had a choice either to give heed to this voice or not. There was no element of compulsion. But his wife and children made no attempt to discourage him: “Remember there had been before now a strong feeling of contentment at God’s generousity,”the late Ibru recalled.The next couple of hours witnessed the conflict between the flesh and the spirit. To beat off succumbing to temptation, Mr. Ibru hit the road to Warri to discuss this strange experience with the Roman Catholic Bishop for a joint effort at discernment. After reflection, dialogue and prayers, it became clear that God has entrusted him with a service.After that, the late Ibru finalised the decision to make the country home available as Spiritual Centre by the Christmas of 1989.For the efficient and expansive usage, the centre was handed over to Trinity Foundation on March 1, 1995.The Trinity Foundation is now fully under the control and management of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion led by the Archbishop, Metropolitan and Primate of all Nigeria, the Most Rev. Okoh.

Monday, November 28th, 2011 No Comments »Award-winning Westchester Jeweler Picks up SKM Artworks Line for the Holidays
As a 30 year industry veteran competing in one of the most challenging and prosperous markets in the world, Richard D’Errico is always looking for something special for his customers. “People who come to D’Errico Jewelers are pretty sophisticated in terms of their sense of fashion, style, and value,” Richard says. “That’s why we we’re so excited by what SKM Artworks is offering us.”D’Errico’s is known for its custom design, but the company also works hard to find up-and-coming jewelry artists and showcases their work. As a leading jeweler in the region, D’Errico has two locations; one on Scarsdale, NY’s famous Central Avenue, the other on 159 Main Street, Mount Kisco, NY.
SKM Artworks’ jewelry will arrive at the company’s Mount Kisco store early November. Store manager Allison Kadanoff recommended that the retailer take on the line.”I liked the mixed materials she uses, which are the kind of things you see in fashion magazines. It’s something I think that will appeal to a wide variety of women, and it’s something they would be excited about,” Kadanoff says.Some of the items that will be on display at D’Errico include hand-woven Irish waxed linen necklaces such as “Gold Rush”, “Casbah II”, “The Family Tree”, “Infinity Plus One”, and the “Cubes and Spheres Collection” – all available with coordinating but not matchy matchy earrings. Several of SKM’s hand-woven natural leather bracelets will also be available such as the “Edgy Princess Cuff” and the “Wonder Woman Cuff”.
Also look for the “iHug Wristhugs” – a great little gem encrusted bracelet of which 20% of the proceeds benefit the iHug Foundation.”I really appreciate the time and attention D’Errico is investing in SKM and I’m excited to begin working together. It’s also great for my existing Westchester customers who have told me how happy they are to have a place close to home where they can purchase SKM Artworks. Having an on-line shop is great, but having a presence in a store like D’Errico is key since people really love to experience jewelry in person – to see how it looks and makes them feel”, Miller says.
Wedding park snaps rooted out
Monday, November 28th, 2011 No Comments »Wedding park snaps rooted out
NEWLYWEDS hoping to have wedding photographs taken in the romantic surroundings of Shanghai Botanical Garden over the weekend were shocked to be turned away.
The garden put up notices stating that commercial wedding photograph shoots are now banned.
“Commercial shooting has damaged greenery in the garden and caused problems for other visitors,” said Zhao Yingying, an official with the Xuhui District garden.
Officials also objected to private enterprises profiting from public facilities.
But just-married couples are still welcome to invite friends to photograph them in the park, Zhao added.
However, it’s hard for park management to determine whether a bride, groom and party plus photographer is a commercial shoot or just a friend taking snaps.
Other local gardens say the difficulty has forced them to drop a plan to introduce a similar ban.
At the weekend, brides in elaborate gowns and smartly attired grooms accompanied by professional photographic teams were stopped at the garden gates by security guards.
One party in three cars turned away on Saturday said they had no idea about the ban.
They had been hoping to get a few pictures before the wedding banquet and now had to find another park. It took away some of the joy of the occasion, said the newlyweds.
The groom, surnamed Wu, said he doesn’t understand the ban as other parks allow shoots.
Only one couple was allowed into the park yesterday morning, as the park believed their pictures were being taken by friends.

0934: So, on to the Fiji match for Wales – their final Pool D encounter. It looks like a Wales v Ireland last eight clash, assuming the Irish beat Italy. Who’s your money on? Thanks for all your tweets and texts.
nikhughes23 on Twitter: “Lose 81-7 and still get man of the match – Tinus Du Plessis must have had a stormer!”
In all fairness, he did seem a little embarrassed when they announced it on the tannoy – 20 tackles today though.
Wales coach Warren Gatland: “We started off with 22 points in the first 17 minutes and then the guys felt the game was over and went to sleep. They got a bit of a rollicking at half-time. They came out and did the job in the second half. Overall, with the number of changes we made I was really pleased.”

Adam, the Welshman living in Liverpool, via 81111: “Fully agree with abbey_lou! Good to see our boys finally putting the pressure on and performing at their best.”
Wales captain Sam Warburton: “We got the bonus point which is what we wanted. Stephen Jones has got the appearances record – he is a Welsh great.”
0920: I feel a stat coming on – Wales set a team record for points scored (81) in a Rugby World Cup match and scored their record number of tries (11) in a RWC match.
