Stephen Antonson, an artist with a wily and mischievous point of view, is fond of saying that when he makes something, he'd like that thing to do more than just lie there. He might throw in a sight gag: a plaster bust of Pan wears a cream pie in his face; a ghostly plaster side table erupts into a fruit bowl.A team of scientists led by John Badding, a professor of chemistry at Penn led lights State, has developed the very first optical fiber made with a core of zinc selenide -- a light-yellow compound that can be used as a semiconductor.

Or maybe he'll set up a word pun.

And when Antonson proposed to Kathleen Hackett, an elegant book editor and author he met while both were working at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia more than a decade ago, he concocted an elaborate, three-part scenario involving a steel-and-glass ring as big as an oil drum and an eight-foot-square carpet made from Polaroid photos of his hands forming the shapes of letters that spelled out a sonnet — the Shakespeare hit comparing a beloved to a summer's day,The accidental experiment came just weeks before the county r4i council is set to publish a new report on the future of the square. rewritten so that it addressed Hackett.

She said, 'Let me get my glasses,The letter, which contains redactions by the University, expressed confidence Led strip light in individuals.' and came down and stood on the poster, and then looked at me and said, 'What is this?' "

That anecdote pretty much sums up the way the two have collaborated since, in marriage, parenthood (their sons, James and Finn, a"I trust that with University support, you and (redacted) have compact fluorescent the integrity and skills to be change agents," the letter said. "However, it is completely within the authority of the IFC itself to decide if it has the right leadership in place to lead this organization going forward."re 4 and 7) and nesting.
