Unlike the common cold, the onset of symptoms for flu (or Influenza) is very sudden and fast. While cold and flu are both infectious viral illnesses, cold symptoms are usually only confined to the nose and head. But the flu is a much more severe disease, with symptoms such as fever, chills and body aches. A person suffering from the common cold can generally walk about and work but a flu patient usually does not feel like getting out of bed. Over 30,000 individuals die from the flu every year in the United States.
Comparison chart
|Common Cold
|Cough, aches, fatigue, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, stuffy nose, sometimes skin reaction.
|Flu symptoms appear quickly (within 3-6 hrs) and include fever, chills, severe aches and chest discomfort.
|Antihistamines, Decongestants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, extra rest, drink plenty of fluids.
|Sometimes antiviral medication helps control the flu but often patients simply wait for their body to fight the virus and overcome the disease. Medication is also available to ease patient comfort.
|Moderate to severe
|Usual and often severe, affects the entire body.
|Usually present
|Sore throat
|Stuffy nose
|Very little risk of complications or serious health problems unless health and immune system are otherwise seriously compromised already.
|Serious health problems, such as pneumonia, bacterial infections can occur.
|Chest discomfort
|Often severe
|Vaccination possible
Symptoms of Common Cold vs. Flu
The flu (influenza) is a lot more serious than a common cold. With a cold, the symptoms are centered around the nose and throat. But the flu tends to make the whole body ache the patient is sick all over.
The symptoms of a cold include a runny or blocked nose, sneezing, minor throat irritation, mild fever, sore throat, a feeling that your ears are blocked, and finally colored mucus or nasal discharge (which means that your immune system is fighting the infection).
Symptoms of influenza usually start suddenly with a high fever and you may feel sick enough to go to bed. Other symptoms include, irritation in the throat or lungs, a dry cough, high fever, shivering, sweating and severe muscle aches.
Tests are available to diagnose the flu but there are no such tests for colds.
Infection mechanism for common cold vs flu
Both illnesses are airborne and contagious, the flu more so because of its short incubation period. The most common way to catch the flu or a cold is to inhale droplets from coughs or sneezes. Sneezes expel a significantly larger concentration of virus "cloud" than coughing. The "cloud" is partly invisible and falls at a rate slow enough to last for hours—with part of the droplet nuclei evaporating and leaving much smaller and invisible "droplet nuclei" in the air. Droplets from turbulent sneezing or coughing or hand contact also can last for hours on surfaces. The incubation period (time between becoming infected and developing symptoms) is 1-3 days. The infectious period (time during which an infected person can infect others) begins about 1 day before symptoms begin, and continues for the first 5 days of the illness. Symptoms, however, are not necessary for viral shedding or transmission, as a percentage of asymptomatic subjects exhibit viruses in nasal swabs, likely controlling the virus at concentrations too low for them to have symptoms.
Treatment for Common cold
There is no cure for the common cold. Treatment is limited to symptomatic supportive options, maximizing the comfort of the patient, and limiting complications and harmful sequelae. The most reliable treatment is a combination of fluids and plenty of rest. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases suggests getting plenty of rest, drinking fluids to maintain hydration, gargling with warm salt water, using cough drops, throat sprays, or over-the-counter pain or cold medicines. Saline nasal drops may help alleviate congestion.
The common cold is self-limiting, and the host's immune system effectively deals with the infection. Within a few days, the body's humoral immune response begins producing specific antibodies that can prevent the virus from infecting cells. Additionally, as part of the cell-mediated immune response, leukocytes destroy the virus through phagocytosis and destroy infected cells to prevent further viral replication. In healthy, immunocompetent individuals, the common cold resolves in seven days on average.
Although some people take antibiotics to treat common cold, doctors believe that antibiotics are not at all effective in treating common cold. This is because cold is caused by a virus and not a bacteria.
Flu treatment
People with the flu are advised to get plenty of rest, drink a lot of liquids, avoid using alcohol and tobacco and, if necessary, take medications such as acetaminophen (aka paracetamol) to relieve the fever and muscle aches associated with the flu. Children and teenagers with flu symptoms (particularly fever) should avoid taking aspirin during an influenza infection (especially influenza type B) because doing so can lead to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease of the liver. Since influenza is caused by a virus, antibiotics have no effect on the infection; unless prescribed for secondary infections such as bacterial pneumonia, they may lead to resistant bacteria. Antiviral medication is sometimes effective, but viruses can develop resistance to the standard antiviral drugs.
The two classes of anti-virals are neuraminidase inhibitors and M2 inhibitors (adamantane derivatives). Neuraminidase inhibitors are currently preferred for flu virus infections. The CDC recommended against using M2 inhibitors during the 2005–06 influenza season.
TAMIFLU, a brand for the drug oseltamivir, usually helps only if taken within 24 to 48 hours of the onset of the first symptoms. While it does not "cure" the flu, it can help relieve some symptoms and speed up recovery. Note, however, that pediatricians generally do not prescribe TAMIFLU to very young children because of the potential side effects such as hallucinations. Researchers have raised serious concerns about Tamiflu, not just its effect on mental health but even the efficacy of the drug:
Cochrane [researchers] concluded the [clinical] trials don't prove that Tamiflu prevents hospitalizations, contagiousness or complications. The only thing it definitely does do, Cochrane said, is shorten the duration of symptoms, by about a day.
Another difference between common cold and the flu is that the flu is preventable. Every year, only a handful of strains of the influenza virus cause most of the flu across the world. Consequently, scientists work on the flu vaccine every year. While the vaccine is fairly effective, unanticipated flu strains can evolve against which the vaccine will fail. A nasal spray flu vaccine is also available.
Myths about the flu shot
Here are some common misconceptions about the flu shot[1]:
- The flu shot causes the flu. The truth is that a flu shot takes up to two weeks to become effective; so if a person gets infected before the vaccine has had enough time to work, she will fall sick.
- It's too late to get vaccinated if you have already had the flu this year. The flu vaccine is designed to protect against multiple strains of the influenza virus. It is possible to get the flu more than once, each time caused by a different strain. Even if you have had the flu, a vaccine can still protect against other strains of the virus.
- Flu shots are 100% effective. The truth is you can still fall sick with the flu even after being vaccinated. However, CDC estimates have found that vaccinated people are 62% less likely to get the flu and at far lower risk of requiring medical care if they did get sick.
- People who are allergic to eggs can't get a flu shot. Flu shots are risky only if you have severe egg allergies. Most people who have egg allergies are not at risk of any complications with a flu shot. Side effects are mild, such as hives or itchy skin.
Humidity and the flu virus
Scientists studying the link between the flu virus and humidity in the air have concluded that the virus thrives best when humidity is either over 98% or between zero and 50%. Dr. Linsey Marr, a researcher at Virginia Tech, recommends using a humidifier to keep humidity levels around 50% (but not over 60%, because that can cause mold buildup) to give the flu virus the least chance of survival.[2]
Preventing the common cold
On the other hand, the common cold is caused by a large variety of viruses, which mutate quite frequently during reproduction, resulting in constantly changing virus strains. Thus, successful immunization is highly improbable.
The best way to avoid a cold is to avoid close contact with existing sufferers; to wash hands thoroughly and regularly; and to avoid touching the mouth and face. Anti-bacterial soaps have no effect on the cold virus — it is the mechanical action of hand washing that removes the virus particles.

Bank of America recently announced that it would triple spending on its mobile app. While no exact dollar amount was given, it made me wonder: what exactly does that entail?
In the past, Celent has praised the Bank of America mobile banking apps as some of the best out there. The bank has been going strong with its digital strategy for years, even closing branches and reducing overhead to drive adoption. Bank of America recently added features such as Touch ID, debit card toggling, two-way fraud alerts to its app, and has been outspoken about the desire to personalize the digital experience. Its commitment to new features and functionality is reflected in the comments and ratings on iTunes and Google Play. Shown in the graph below, the bank's mobile banking adoption has been steadily growing, with a growing share of deposits. So again, what does 'tripling' mean when talking about an app that has obviously been well-funded for quite some time?
Becoming digital
As digital assumes a larger role with the business, the funding required to build a digital customer experience will extend beyond the reaches of mobile. The capabilities many consumers demand can be difficult (if not impossible) without significant effort on the back-end to align technology. Banks are starting to realize this, building out unified digital platforms that streamline the architecture and better position institutions to offer truly modern, data-driven, and value-added consumer experiences. These kinds of initiatives can often run in tandem with larger cultural and multi-channel efforts.
In the press release for the announcement, Bank of America said it was launching a digital ambassador initiative, which, similar to the Barclays Digital Eagles program, will see frontline branch staff re-skilled to be able to assist with digital channels. The bank is also launching cardless ATMs later this year. I'm assuming the coincidence of these announcements is anything but, and that the funds for 'mobile' will largely be dispersed over (or fit into) a wider array of strategic digital initiatives. Institutions need to create a solid digital base within the institution, bringing in culture, personnel, and technology across all channels and lines of business to start transforming digitally.
Banks are being challenged by the notion of 'becoming digital'. Many have reached the point of recognizing the inevitable digitization of the business model, and are in the throes of decision-making that will determine how equipped they are to appeal to the new digital consumer. Most institutions are experiencing these growing pains, and very few have committed to digital at the level demanded by customers.
If Bank of America is indeed tripling its budget just for mobile, then I'll be very interested to see the kind of features the bank develops over the next few years. Yet, there's a lot that goes on to make the front-end look good, and spending more on the front will mean more spending on the back. Mobile banking is a significant part of digital banking, but remember that it's only one part. While new functionality gets the headlines, it's what's under the hood – culture and back-end – that truly matters.

You make me dizzy Miss Lizzy,
The way you rock'n'roll.
You make me dizzy Miss Lizzy,
When you do the stroll.
Come on, Miss Lizzy,
love me 'fore I grow too old.
(song by the Beatles)
I was really buzzy today with all these DIY projects... In total I did 2 "No Pictures" T-shirts, then I did a MO'ROCKIN T-shirt,
but it didn't turn out so great (so no tutorials on that one) and in the mean time I did this awesome bleached out denim vest for Miss "Lizzy" (that might be Miss E new nick name!). Also, I did Daddy Cool's fathers day gift (hopefully he wont read this tonight!). Did I mention I cleaned the kitchen, took care of the kids, cooked and did some laundry... Wow, I'm pretty proud of myself!!!! I'm not usually this productive...
What you need:
- A jean jacket, the darker the better
- Scissors
- Bucket or some kind of a container
- Water (tap is fine!!!)
- Most importantly.... BLEACH
- Spray bottle (optional)
- String or rubber bands
I strongly recommend wearing something you don't care about and you can even use some rubber gloves. I also suggest doing this in the bath tub...
1. Find a jean jacket you're willing to "destroy" and start by cutting off the sleeves right at the edge of the double topstitch.
2. Make a ball and tie it up with some string or rubber bands. The tighter you wrap your jacket, the more of a tye-dye effect you will get, with more dark and light spots. My jacket
was a little stiff, so the result aren't as pronouced because it was hard to put it in a really tight ball.
3. Find a container big enough for your jacket to fit in comfortably. Fill it with the same quantity of bleach and water. The more bleach you put, the stronger the whitening effect will be. Don't fill your container to the top, fill it about half way, because once you put the jacket in it, the liquid level will rise quickly.
4. Put your jacket in the container.
If the jacket isn't fully covered, that is even better! It will create more variety in your bleach effect. Let it soak... Flip it around... let it soak... Until you think the color is light enough.
5. For some added bleach effects, you can poor some bleach directly on your jacket, in random areas. This will lighten those spots even faster...
6. Untie... and if you want more bleach effect try spraying the jacket with a water/bleach solutions in random areas and wait some more...I did!
6. Rinse really well and wash & dry. I recommend washing it with some white towels. Just to be on the safe side, I recommend putting another white wash in your machine, to get rid of any left over bleach.
7. Decorate your jacket if you like... I added some pin and brooches I had. Wear proudly... Miss "Lizzy" sure did!
P.S. this skirt is a size 5-6 and make a perfect size 2 maxi skirt!

• Doctors are baffled by a 500% increase in children being admitted to hospital for food allergy reactions over the last 20 years, reports the Independent.
What's it like to cut public services?
I've been playing around on Essex county council's strangely addictive "budget-maker" website. This asks users to come up with a council budget for next year. If a wake-up call were needed to remind anyone how difficult, arbitrary and cruel the age of austerity will be to the public sector, it's here, in this widget.
What did I do? I judiciously cut here and there until I had lopped £55m off this year's £2.2bn spending total. In an admittedly superficial 10-minute exercise, I congratulated myself on finding a small increase (2%) for education, and keeping cuts for services for vulnerable young people, social care for older people, and recycling to a mere 3%.
However, I took a much, much larger axe to services such as the council's tourism budget and the Olympic legacy fund (nothing personal, you understand). Other council departments took a 10% hit. I imagined myself to be erring on the margins of brutally realistic. And still the widget told me my notional budget was "unaffordable".
Why, I wondered. My budget efforts required Essex citizens to put up with a mere 4.5% council tax rise. Or about £50 for a household in a Band D property. Not the end of the world, surely? Wouldn't you accept a small tax increase to "protect" schools, at-risk kids and frail older people?
Then I realised my budgets were rejected because of the government's arbitrary insistence on a council tax freeze. Essex couldn't set a higher rate next year to protect services even if it wanted to and its ratepayers agreed. The game is rigged. Isn't this supposed to be a government committed to freeing councils from the iron grip of Whitehall?
So I picked up the axe again. Transport took a hit. Au revoir a big chunk of community transport, bye-bye traffic congestion measures. And "big society" stuff (supporting charities and volunteers) gets in the neck too (see, I'm, beginning to think like a real council). And road safety. And trading standards, and parks and green space (again, nothing personal). Still my budget is rejected as unaffordable.
So I take a huge (25%) lump out of the regeneration budget. This last, arbitrary, cut allows me keep spending on vulnerable youngsters at 2010-11 levels (I realise this is still a real terms cut once inflation is taken into account). Useful, given that Ofsted has just rated Essex's child protection services as inadequate, though probably not enough. Rather pathetically, it feels, in the circumstances, like a small victory.
My total year-on-year reduction is now £82m. It feels, from my virtual leaders office, that I've laid waste to entire communities. The budget-maker doesn't tell me sure how many vulnerable people I've shafted, how many hard-working citizens I've put on the dole, or how many hopes and dreams I've crushed. It then dawns on me that I've got to find another cut of this size next year.
I've delivered an "affordable" budget for Essex. I'm keeping the communities and local government secretary, Eric Pickles, happy. But I'm wondering who's going to vote for me at the next election.

My 3 Favorite Superfood Supplements
1. Collagen Hydrolysate
Benefits: There are a number of benefits that range from anti-aging to improved digestion but the main reason I've been taking collagen the past 4 years is for bone and joint health. The combination of collagen and calcium phosphate makes bones strong yet flexible to hold up under stress. The consumption of collagen helps with elasticity and regeneration of tendons, cartilage, bones, joints and skin and may improve bone and joint health over time. A partially fused wrist means my body takes the stress of activities in a different way. And my fused bones grind on the cartilage in my wrist a unique way. Collagen is a great way to feed my body the nutrients it needs to counteract the unique ways my body works post-fusions.
How I Consume It: I add a couple of spoonfuls to my coffee each morning (along with my second favorite superfood supplement you see in the photo). You can also add it to a smoothie (the best option for cold drinks) or a cup of tea. Don't worry, it really doesn't have a flavor once mixed into drinks. It mixes in hot and cold drinks but I prefer it in hot drinks as it dissolves quicker and can get clumpy when adding it to cold drinks unless you blend them (aka in iced coffee it can get clumpy).
Where to Get It: I use Great Lakes Collagen and get it from at Thrive Market (they have the best price). You can also order it on Amazon or check out your local health/grocery store. Another popular brand is Vital Proteins - their product is also grassfed.
2. Mushrooms
Benefits: Antioxidants – those things that help protect our bodies from damaging free radicals that cause inflammation. I love Four Sigmatic's 10 Mushroom Blend because it includes the most powerful body and mind defending mushrooms like chaga, lion's mane, reishi, and cordyceps, along with our other favorite fungi legends enokitake, maitake, shiitake, tremella (the main ingredient in our Beauty Blend), Agaricus blazei, and meshima. It's hard to get mushrooms into my diet everyday but with this blend, I get a range of
How I Consume It: Again, coffee is my go to. Blending a spoonful in my smoothie is the other way I make sure to get my dose of mushrooms. They have mushroom "coffee" as well. Nice way to get caffeine without the anxious feeling coffee can bring. But it does have it's own taste, some may say it's an acquired taste. Personally I've grown to really enjoy it.
Where to Get It: Order it directly from Four Sigmatic or on Thrive Market.
3. Turmeric Curcumin
Benefits: Turmeric contains curcumin, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin is a natural anti-Inflammatory compound. Anything that can help fight chronic inflammation is essential for a diet of someone with joint injuries or arthritis (which I have as a results of my fusion).
In fact, it's known to reduce pain, inflammation and stiffness related. As an alternative to pain killers, if I'm in need of something I'll use Turmeric Supreme Pain pills, to support a healthy inflammatory response.
How I Consume It: I take a turmeric supplement after lunch every day. It guarantees I get enough into my diet. But I'll also cook with turmeric, enjoy a golden milk latte or get juices/smoothies with turmeric in them. Higher doses of turmeric can cause stomach aches so if you're not used to eating it, I recommend gradually increasing your intake.
Where to Get It: For supplements I'm personally not loyal to any brand. Nature Made has a 500 mg option on Amazon. Or youtheory has a 1,000mg supplement for a higher dosage. Lots of options for turmeric to find the price point and dosage best for you.

It was the tequila that had everyone talking in the back room of Oyamel Monday night -- the same back room where the Obamas shared one of their first meals out on the town -- as the Mexican restaurant kicked off it's 3rd Annual Tequila & Mezcal Festival.
"It's all about celebration," said Team Spirits Imports President Clyde Davis Jr. holding a Oxacan Fizz, one of the festival's mezcal offerings.
"We'll be doing special tastings all week long so people can see that there are more ways to drink tequila than as a shot or in a margarita."
No word on whether Obama will return to the restaurant for a tequila tasting as others flock there for the festival this week, especially as Dr.'s orders have him laying off the liquor.

What better way to kick off London Fashion Week than with an exclusive pop-up store in Covent Garden showcasing some vintage items from Triumph's archives. I am talking about the full on printed duo from the 70's, the corsage form the 80's, the uber sexy satin ensemble from the 40's ... It was a nice reminder of the difference between style and fashion. Fashion weeks come and go and every season fashion - the fast fashion - pops its head round the corner and we go all out with the trends, and key pieces of the season. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, actually it makes Fashion Week and all its attendees quite an amazing show. But it is nice once in a while to sit back and appreciate true style and some heritage.
If going back in time is not your thing, then maybe the unique one off a kind pieces resulting from some more than talented collaborations with leading designers such as Matthew Williamson, Felder Felder and Louise Gray. Think craftsmanship and expertise meets couture.
Now open to the public from Friday 15th until Monday 18th February - 71 Monmouth Street, Covent Garden WC2

Ezra 81Now these are the heads of their fathers' households, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king: 2Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattush. 3Of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males one hundred fifty. 4Of the sons of Pahathmoab, Eliehoenai the son of Zerahiah; and with him two hundred males. 5Of the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel; and with him three hundred males. 6Of the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan; and with him fifty males. 7Of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah; and with him seventy males. 8Of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael; and with him eighty males. 9Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males. 10Of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him one hundred sixty males. 11Of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males. 12Of the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan; and with him one hundred ten males. 13Of the sons of Adonikam, who were the last; and these are their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males. 14Of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males. 15I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi. 16Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, who were teachers. 17I sent them forth to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should tell Iddo, and his brothers the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God. 18According to the good hand of our God on us they brought us a man of discretion, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen; 19and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty; 20and of the Nethinim, whom David and the princes had given for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim: all of them were mentioned by name. 21Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. 22For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, "The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him." 23So we fasted and begged our God for this: and he was entreated of us. 24Then I set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them, 25and weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered: 26I weighed into their hand six hundred fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels one hundred talents; of gold one hundred talents; 27and twenty bowls of gold, of one thousand darics; and two vessels of fine bright brass, precious as gold. 28I said to them, "You are holy to the Lord, and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to the Lord, the God of your fathers. 29Watch, and keep them, until you weigh them before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the princes of the fathers' households of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of the Lord." 30So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to the house of our God. 31Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and the bandit by the way. 32We came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days. 33On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levite; 34the whole by number and by weight: and all the weight was written at that time. 35The children of the captivity, who had come out of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering to the Lord. 36They delivered the king's commissions to the king's satraps, and to the governors beyond the River: and they furthered the people and God's house.

"It's just supper, baby," the celebrity chef Mario Batali said merrily on a frigid Friday evening, surveying a dinner-party scene of the sort some would give their eye teeth to join.
The setting was a loft in TriBeCa that might easily accommodate a commercial bowling alley. A crew of chefs was busily at work in a restaurant-style kitchen that the hostess called "modest."
Servers were circulating with trays of tiny oysters topped with sea urchin roe, hors d'oeuvres prepared by another star chef, Daniel Boulud, who was also cooking the main course of poulard demi-deuil for a $5,000-a-plate dinner to benefit the nonprofit Drawing Center.
That wonderful, scrappy cultural institution was founded in 1977 by the art curator Martha Beck on the ground floor of a Greene Street warehouse. The rent in those long-ago days was $900 a month. There really was such a time and such a city. We don't live there anymore.
The TriBeCa loft was crowded with apex predators, roughly 80 of them, not a few of them billionaires. They were people for whom perhaps a five-course meal cooked by five of the most celebrated chefs on the planet — Thomas Keller of Per Se and the French Laundry; Mr. Batali and Mr. Boulud; Dan Barber of Blue Hill at Stone Barns; the pâtissier Dominique Ansel — is indeed just supper.
If the women were dressed with offhand chic, the men wore the kind of expensive casual clothes favored by the rich, $1,500 cashmere sweaters by Brunello Cucinelli, "camouflage" blazers from Lanvin.
The dinner was in honor of Ferran Adrià, the cooking phenomenon behind El Bulli, the now-shuttered restaurant in Spain. The son of a plasterer and a housewife, Mr. Adrià, before retiring just shy of 50 to build a foundation, became so famous that El Bulli turned into a pilgrimage site.
A show of the chef's complex diagrams and drawings went up at the Drawing Center last week. The aim of the show and his work, Mr. Adrià said, tipping up a glass of 1985 Dom Pérignon Rose Oenotheque (retail price $1,000 a bottle), was more ambitious than merely to reveal to the public how he came to devise 1,846 entirely new dishes, among them things like volatile ravioli or edible air.
"We are being manipulated constantly in this culture," Mr. Adrià told a reporter, his Spanish translated by his wife, Isabel Pérez Barceló. "I want to get to the root of the experiences of pleasure, to see how they are created."
"I want to know what happiness really means," he added.
Happiness that night, or on most New York evenings, means arrival, a sense (warming on even the coldest night) that you are where you are meant to be.
The slightly giddy and convivial atmosphere of the Drawing Center benefit, where glasses gleamed and handsome waiters circulated and a dining table descended from the ceiling on pulleys, suggested that for those at the highest level of the Gini index of income disparity, a secure sense of arrival is seldom in doubt.
"For those of you who can't read, or who have had too much to drink," Mr. Keller addressed the assembly, before introducing the course prepared by himself and his team, "we have a Hass avocado purée with pistachio oil, topped with Sacramento Delta caviar."
Somehow Undine Spragg came to mind as he said it, Undine the archetypal social climbing protagonist from the fictional Apex City of Edith Wharton's "Custom of the Country." Having clawed her way from the Midwest to the precincts of Old Money New York, Wharton's character realized to her dismay that old money wasn't what it once was. On the ladder of society there was always another rung.
"She found out," Wharton wrote long before capital "S" society was overtaken by hedge fund moguls and the lowercase version by Kardashians, "that she had given herself over to the exclusive and the dowdy when the future belonged to the showy and the promiscuous."
Poor Undine had "hired an opera box on the wrong night," as Wharton wrote, cast in her lot with a lost cause.
"Apex ideals had been based on the myth of 'old families' ruling New York from a throne of Revolutionary tradition, with the new millionaires paying them feudal allegiance." That was in 1913. A century later, the caste that might draw a climber like Undine Spragg to New York is kaput. "It's fin de race," a local banker whose ancestors founded the city's oldest white-shoe law firms recently told this reporter, using a French phrase that essentially means the end of the line.
By the John O'Hara standards of an earlier era, this particular well-bred, well-heeled and well-clubbed man would have occupied an unassailable position at the top of New York's social heap. He would have qualified as what a shrewd social observer like Martha Stewart referred to as the "fancies."
The fancies are gone, Ms. Stewart said flatly, at the opening night gala for the Winter Antiques Show on Thursday night. At the very least they've gone to ground.
For six decades the Winter Antiques Show has provided an occasion for social New York to disport itself in public, a red-letter fixture on a largely philanthropic social calendar (the show benefits the East Side House Settlement) that included social anachronisms like dog shows, horse shows and flower shows, events certain to draw out the remnant population of New York's hereditary swells.
Hoi polloi visiting the antiques show could expect to spot formidable society specimens like Brooke Astor or David Rockefeller; or Edna Morris, the thoroughbred breeder whose family owned the oldest continuously used racing silks in the country; passels of Vanderbilts, or the imposing dowager whose husband descended from Lincoln's secretary of state.
Piloted like barges by decorator tugboats, these social doyennes made stately progress along aisles stocked with China export porcelain and Foo dogs, kneehole desks and miniature portraits painted on ivory, the kind of stuff that in all likelihood they had inherited at birth, along with their silver spoons.
"The fancy schmancies aren't here anymore," Ms. Stewart remarked at the Winter Antiques Show gala, where tiered entry offered potential buyers first crack at the fine stuffs at ticket prices descending from $2,500 to a mere $300.
Of the grandes dames and grandees of the old school there seemed to be few that evening — just the ballet patron Anne Bass walking the aisles unescorted and the 94-year-old publishing magnate, Anne Cox Chambers, teetering about in a fur coat that lent her resemblance to an Edward Gorey cartoon.
"The rich are collectors now as opposed to furnishers," said Louis Bofferding, an antiques dealer whose Upper East Side store specializes in the kind of chic and decorative objects once favored by the gratin.
"Babe and Bill Paley weren't really collectors," Mr. Bofferding added. "They were rich people who did what rich people did." They bought Picassos, that is, because there was a hole that needed covering on the wall.
"That style is not prevalent in our day," he said.
The style of the day, as most everyone by now knows, favors hard-driving collectors whose idea of cultural enrichment — as Jay Fielden, the editor of the latter-day society bible "Town & Country" recently observed with disdain in an editor's letter — "involves buying and selling works of art as if they were trading them on the New York Stock Exchange."
For the new vulgarians, Mr. Fielden suggested, invoking certain airy and fantastical ideals, art is just another asset class. Edith Wharton came to more or less the same conclusion a century ago when she invented Undine Spragg and her quest to quit Apex for the bright lights of New York, only to find that the city of her imaginings was gone.
Like any of the self-invented, Undine Spragg was a pragmatist at heart, and when New York society failed her she just kept going — to France. And if in the end she fetched up again in the Midwest, it was not exactly as a chastened woman, but with the same imperishable drives you can still detect on any given evening out in New York.
"I'm really excited about one thing," said Lela Rose, the Dallas-born fashion designer who played host for the Drawing Center benefit dinner, as waiters took a Swiffer to a patch of floor that would soon rise up to become part of an 80-foot dining table.
"Dominique Ansel made Cronuts," Ms. Rose yelped with excitement, referring to a trendy confection scalpers have been known to hawk for $40 on the street.
"I just want a Cronut," she added in her Texas twang. "I don't give a damn about any other food."

Sometimes you make goals and you don't' meet them.
Like new year's resolutions. They're made for pieces of paper right? To show that we've got plans for the future... or something.
Okay, so I didn't make my goal.
And the more I keep working on the WIP and finding new things I need to add, new scenes, new side plots, the more I think I will never finish.
That's just me feeling tired though.
I'm getting closer and closer to having a full, polished manuscript. Soon it will be ready for those wonderful literary agents to read and love.
For now, I'm still working.
Stay tuned for some words about WIFYR. It's over and I have things to say.

United Nations Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Access to Medicines Calls For New Deal to Close the Health Innovation and Access Gap
Whether it's the rising price of the EpiPen, or new outbreaks of diseases, like Ebola, Zika and yellow fever, the rising costs of health technologies and the lack of new tools to tackle health problems, like antimicrobial resistance, is a problem in rich and poor countries alike.
According to a High-Level Panel convened to advise the UN Secretary-General on improving access to medicines, the world must take bold new approaches to both health technology innovation and ensuring access so that all people can benefit from the medical advances that have dramatically improved the lives of millions around the world in the last century.
For decades, many international treaties and national constitutions have enshrined the fundamental right to health and the right to share in the benefits of scientific advancements. Yet, while the world is witnessing the immense potential of science and technology to advance health care, gaps and failures in addressing disease burdens and emerging diseases in many countries and communities remain. The misalignment between the right to health on the one hand and intellectual property and trade on the other, fuel this tension.
The UN Secretary-General established the High-Level Panel to propose solutions for addressing the incoherencies between international human rights, trade, intellectual property rights and public health objectives. The report recommendations come at the end of a ten-month process for the Panel under the leadership of Ruth Dreifuss, the former President of the Swiss Confederation and Festus Mogae, the former President of the Republic of Botswana.
"Policy incoherencies arise when legitimate economic, social and political interests and priorities are misaligned or in conflict with the right to health," said President Ruth Dreifuss. "On the one hand, governments seek the economic benefits of increased trade. On the other, the imperative to respect patents on health technologies could, in certain instances, create obstacles to the public health objectives and the right to health."
The Panel has formulated a set of concrete recommendations to help improve research and development of health technologies and people's access to vital therapies that are currently priced out-of-reach of patients and governments alike. The Panel's report points out that the cost of health technologies are putting a strain on both rich and poor countries.
"With no market incentives, there is an innovation gap in diseases that predominantly affect neglected populations, rare diseases and a crisis particularly with antimicrobial resistance, which poses a threat to humanity," said Malebona Precious Matsoso, Director General of the National Department of Health of South Africa. "Our report calls on governments to negotiate global agreements on the coordination, financing and development of health technologies to complement existing innovation models, including a binding R&D Convention that delinks the costs of R&D from end prices."
The Panel suggested that initially governments should form a working group to begin negotiating a Code of Principles for Biomedical R&D, and report annually on their progress in negotiating and implementing the Code in preparation for negotiating the Convention.
The Panel examined the way in which the application of the flexibilities found in the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) has facilitated access to health technologies, and how WTO Members can tailor national intellectual property law, competition law, government procurement and drug regulatory laws and regulations to fulfil public health obligations.
The new report noted with grave concern reports of governments being subjected to undue political and economic pressure to forgo the use of TRIPS flexibilities. The Panel felt strongly that this pressure undermines the efforts of governments to meet their human rights and public health obligations and violates the integrity and legitimacy of the Doha Declaration.
"WTO Members must make full use of TRIPS flexibilities as reaffirmed by the Doha Declaration on TRIPS and Public Health. This is essential to promote access to health technologies," said Michael Kirby, member of the High-Level Panel and chair of the Expert Advisory Group. "In particular, governments and the private sector must refrain from explicit or implicit threats, tactics or strategies that undermine the right of WTO Members to use TRIPS flexibilities. WTO Members must register complaints against undue political and economic pressure. They need to take strong, effective measures against offending Members."
Transparency was a recurring theme throughout the report of the High-Level Panel. The Panel repeatedly raised concerns regarding the negative impact of insufficient transparency on both health technology innovation and access. The Panel was also critical of the lack of transparency surrounding bilateral free trade and investment negotiations. The Panel views transparency as a core component of robust and effective accountability frameworks needed to hold all stakeholders responsible for the impact of their actions on innovation and access.
"A paradigm shift in transparency is needed to ensure that the costs of R&D, production, marketing, and distribution, as well as the end prices of health technologies are clear to consumers and governments," said President Festus Mogae. "Governments should require manufacturers and distributors of health technologies to disclose these costs and the details of any public funding received in the development of health technologies, including tax credits, subsidies, and grants."
The Panel also recommended the UN General Assembly convene a Special Session no later than 2018 on health technology innovation and access to agree on strategies and an accountability framework that will accelerate efforts towards promoting innovation and ensuring access in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

UN Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Access to Medicines releases official statement regarding speculative media reports.
A high level panel appointed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon is due to report next month on equal and affordable access to medicine around the world.
Can international law be changed to make the human right to health real? Michael Kirby, former judge on Australia's supreme court and a member of the UN's High Level Panel on Access to Medicines is optimistic.
Release: The United Nations Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Access to Medicines hosted its final "Global Dialogue" in Johannesburg, South Africa, on 17 March 2016. Campaigners from the Treatment Action Campaign held a large rally outside the conference demanding reform of patent laws. Inside the meeting, hundreds of people from around the world joined online and in-person – from industry, government, civil society groups, multilateral organizations and academia – to discuss new ideas and solutions to increase access to medicines, vaccines and diagnostics and promote innovation in health technologies.
By Mandeep Dhaliwal, Director of Health and HIV at the United Nations Development Programme - On the 61st anniversary of Alexander Fleming's death, we are on the road back to where he started: the days of people dying from common infections and injuries.
Release: The United Nations Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Access to Medicines hosted the first of two "Global Dialogues" in London, UK, on 10 March 2016.

A Fight in the Garden
Or at least reminiscing about it. Pip is still at Miss Havisham's catching up with Estella….
Pip learns that Estella will be going to London, not back to France. SWEET! That's where Pip lives now. Miss H sends them out for a walk. (What's she scheming?!?) Pip remembers a dream he once had of Estella peaking in the forge window, seeing Pip all covered in soot, common and poor – his true self.
As Pip and Estella walk along in Miss H's garden, Pip worshipping "the very hem of her dress", they come upon the place of the fight Pip had with Herbert Pocket long ago. Estella admits that she spied on them and witnessed the fight. She did not care much for Herbert and I believe I recall she gave Pip a little peck of a kiss that day when he left!
I bought more Marvy Uchida paint markers and had fun creating this illustration with them. I hope I reach day 200 by December 31! That's my plan. But will be difficult with the holidays coming. Wish me luck!

Dr. Wagner and his team of professionals are to be recognized for the outstanding level of service they provide.
– Jennifer M
Missing teeth can be a source of worry and embarrassment, but it doesn't have to be that way. If you are missing multiple teeth and would like a natural looking tooth replacement, a dental bridge by Dr. Wagner and his Las Vegas, Nevada team could be exactly what you have been looking for.
We understand the struggles associated with missing teeth and urge you to consider coming to see us if you:
• Are missing a tooth or teeth
• Have teeth that are moving or rotating on either side of a gap, causing discomfort
• Desire to chew normally again
• Would like a more stable alternative to a denture
• Want your restoration to look and function like your natural teeth
Why you will love your new bridge
Like all tooth restorations there are both health and cosmetic benefits that include:
• Teeth on either side of the gap will not be able to move
• Bite preservation
• Prevents 'sunken face'
• Eating without difficulty
• Beautiful, natural looking smile
The most common bridge is known as a fixed bridge. Dr. Wagner will prepare the two abutting teeth and place a crown on each. Then, a fabricated tooth (pontic) will be placed between them and bonded for a secure fit.
If you think a dental bridge might be a good option to solve your issue, Dr. Wagner and his team will ensure they understand your personal goals and expectations for your dental bridge.
What can I expect?
First the doctor will prepare the anchoring teeth. This typically requires the removal of some enamel. Then, he will take impressions in order for the dental lab to fabricate a perfectly matched bridge.
You will be fitted with a temporary bridge to protect the exposed teeth and gums while your permanent bridge is being made. When your permanent bridge is ready, the doctor will cement the bridge into place.
If you are worried about the potential cost of a porcelain bridge, please let us know. We are proud to offer our patients financing options so you don't have to choose between other responsibilities and your dental health. We can help you get the dental care you need.
If you want to smile securely without worry of missing or moving teeth, let Wagner Dental and give you the quality care you deserve. Give us a call at (702) 878-5599 or schedule your appointment today.

Regular Fare
The regular RideKC Freedom (formerly The JO Special Edition) fare is based on "as the crow flies" mileage and is $5.20 per one-way trip that is 10 miles or less, $6.20 per one-way trip that is 10.01 to 20 miles and $7.20 per one-way trip that is 20.01 or more miles . Return trips will be separate fares. Trips outside the service area (for medical/dental appointments only) will be charged each way using the mileage rate.
Miles Traveled | Cost Per One-Way Trip
- 0 - 10 miles = $5.20
- 10.01 - 20 miles = $6.20
- 20.01 + miles = $7.20
JCT offers RideKC Freedom passes that may be purchased in amounts of $32.00, $52.00, $62.00 and $72.00. These passes are in increments of 10-punches of the most common ride fares. For example, the $62.00 pass is the equivalent of 10, $6.20 ride punches. A separate 10-zone ticket is available for $7.50 to reduced fare riders to cover the zone fare for trips outside of Johnson County. All tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable and may only be used by approved RideKC Freedom riders. Should a RideKC Freedom rider use a pass, the ride fare will be deducted from the pass in one "punch" increments. For example, if a ride fare is $5.20 and the rider provided a $32.00 10-punch pass, the driver would punch the pass two times in order to cover the $5.20 ride fare. No change or refunds will be provided.
Passes are available for purchase online, and added to the above prices will be a 3% credit card surcharge, shipping and handling fee. Please allow 5-7 business days for delivery. RideKC drivers do not sell RideKC Freedom passes; passes are available for purchase on-line (credit only) or by mailing a check to:
Johnson County Transit
1701 West 56 Highway
Olathe, Kansas 66061
On RideKC buses, please have the exact fare, a pass, or a check for each one-way trip. Drivers do not carry change and will not accept credit cards. Passengers are required to pay each time they board a vehicle. Aides travel free of charge if there is a physician's statement on file at the JCT office that states the rider requires assistance when traveling. JCT will issue the rider an Aide ID for use by the individual assisting the rider. (Note: Aides are not provided by JCT, they must be provided by the rider.) RideKC Freedom will not bill riders nor will the drivers accept checks for a round trip.
Fares for transportation provided by 10/10 Taxi will be the same as rides provided by RideKC vehicles. 10/10 Taxi will accept cash, passes and credit cards but will not accept checks.
Reduced Fare
Residents who qualify for the reduced fare program pay $3.20 per one-way for trips within Johnson County and $3.20 per one-way plus 75¢ per zone for trips outside of Johnson County. See the Service Area/Zone Map for zone listings.
Reduced Fare Income Guidelines
To determine qualification for the reduced fare program, refer to the table below. The monthly income for appropriate household size is the maximum income allowable to be eligible for low-income status.
Household Size | Monthly Income
- 1 = $1,225
- 2 = $1,650
- 3 = $2,075
- 4 = $2,500
- 5 = $2,925
- 6 = $3,350
- 7 = $4,719
- 8 = $5,250
Applications for reduced fare must include proof of all household income. Household is defined as all persons who are related and living under the same roof, such as parents, children, siblings, and extended family members. This includes adult children living with their parents; in this situation, the parents' income statements as well as applicant's income statement must be submitted to determine eligibility for reduced fare. If an applicant does not qualify financially but otherwise qualifies, the application will be processed as regular fare for RideKC Freedom.

Think BIG! Have you been to Dulles lately? If you visit the B Concourse's Passenger Walkback Tunnel, my panoramic is currently on display above the escalators, welcoming passengers as they approach the Main Terminal. This canvas banner is almost 50 feet wide, preserving the details of my 88 megapixel photograph. It is clear enough to read text on signs and vehicles parked alongside the Main Terminal as you descend down the stairs.
This welcome banner with my photo will be in place during times when no other sponsor has leased this JCDecaux advertising space. Thanks to JCDecaux for making sure my photo looks great on large format canvas print!
Here is the original photograph, and below it the final proof of the print now on display!

Len Herman
If there is a usual path by which people get into real estate, Len did not follow it. Instead, he traveled a somewhat circuitous route until, as he puts it, he "became totally enamored with real estate." And he did not begin life in California either. Instead, he came here from the East Coast on a job recruitment assignment but liked the area so much that he took the position for which he had been recruiting and stayed in the Golden State.
Len grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he attended Temple University. He liked to write and was pretty good at it so he set his sights on a career in radio, television, and film. But in 1980, with just three credits to go before graduation, he had an epiphany of sorts in which he realized that, while he was skilled at the technical aspects of writing, he lacked the creative spark that would be needed to dream up concepts for programs and originate scripts for shows. So, much to his mother's chagrin, he quit school.
Len needed a new direction, but he had no idea what it would be. Then, in 1981, IBM came out with a personal computer. Len saw it and knew almost instinctively that he'd found his calling. He returned to Temple University, where—as he explains—his grade point average in computer-related classes "just soared"; and in 1984, he received a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration with a computer science and marketing emphasis.
In 1986, Len became account manager for Feith Systems and Software in Bala Cynwyd. That name—which looks like a typographical error—was given to a community in southeastern Pennsylvania by the Welsh Quakers, who settled there during the 1660s and named it after a town and a village in Wales.
By 1988, Len had become Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Feith's world headquarters in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. And it was in this capacity that he was sent, in 1995, to the Silicon Valley to interview candidates for a position with Feith in Santa Clara. Len liked Northern California so much that he took the Santa Clara job himself and found someone else to fill the opening his transfer left back in the Keystone State.
Next, Len spent two years as Senior Account Manager with FileNET in San Francisco, where he consulted with customers on business process re-engineering, managed installation for new customers, and oversaw ongoing support for existing customers in the high-tech, defense, and telecommunications industries. In 1999, Len was recruited to FileNET's Costa Mesa office, and that's how he came to be a Southern California resident.
After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, "the information technology market went blah," says Len, "and I wasn't having any fun anymore. I was working at AMR Research in Irvine, which was transitioning into real estate. About this time, my wife and I started going to open houses for decorating ideas; and somewhere along the way, I became intrigued with the real estate industry."
Len took some real estate practices courses, got his license in 2003, and attended an Orange County Association of REALTORS® orientation. In the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) portion of the orientation Len, being an IT expert, asked first one question and then another about why things were done this way and not that. Those questions got him appointed to OCAR's MLS Committee and the die was cast.
For several years, Len served as either Chair or Vice Chair of the MLS Committee. Then, two years ago, he became President of SoCalMLS and, in that capacity, engineered the 2011 merger between SoCalMLS and the California Regional Multiple Listing Service (CRMLS) as a way of reducing costs and increasing both system efficiency and user convenience.
In 2011, OCAR members expressed their appreciation for Len's efforts by choosing him as President-elect; and in December 2012 he was installed as 2013 President. Len selected as his theme for the year "Bringing People Home," and his goals for the organization he will guide reflect that theme. They are as follows:
- To focus more attention on what it means to be a REALTOR® and to be guided both by a Code of Ethics and the Golden Rule.
- To increase overall professionalism by encouraging Multiple Listing Service‑only members to become REALTORS® and abide by the Code of Ethics.
- To widen awareness of private property rights and strengthen the Association's defense against ongoing efforts to encroach upon and erode these rights.
- To support the continuance of policies and practices, like the mortgage interest deduction, which encourage home ownership as an vital means of strengthening both families and communities.
- To work with local cities to establish a fair and consistent policy governing the display of open house signs.
- To encourage REALTORS® to make more meaningful and personal the conversations they have with each other and with their clients.
Regarding Goal 6, Len asserts that, while tweets may be an efficient way to make and change appointments, "you can't have real conversations in sixty-four characters or less" and believes there is a chronic need for relationships that are more genuine that those built solely on tweets.
For 2 years Len was the Manager of a RE/MAX office in Mission Viejo California before returning to work directly with clients at Keller Williams in Mission Viejo. He also serves as a Director for OCAR and for the California Association of REALTORS® and still finds time for a hobby or two. He loves photography and the ability Photoshop gives him to fix after the fact "whatever doesn't happen right" when he's taking a picture. He plays ice hockey in Anaheim, where his six-foot-three-inch frame makes him an effective defenseman.
Quiet, strong, introspective, and analytical, Len seeks to improve each situation he finds and to solve each problem he encounters. OCAR members, recognizing his value to their organization, honored him as one of two REALTORS® of the year for 2012 and will benefit from having him at the helm of their Association throughout 2013.

I feel like Victoria Pendleton is becoming my personal trainer
To encourage commuters to run home, me and my friend Ashley James did a 6 mile run led by World and Olympic champion Victoria Pendleton to kick start Fitness First home run initiative. I've done a spin class led by Pendleton before so now that we've ran together too, I feel like she's somewhat becoming my personal trainer. Having just cycled 71 miles the day before, the initial topic of my conversation with Victoria related to bums, namely mine, which was terribly sore. I asked how on earth she did it? As a professional cyclist surely her backside must be hurting all the time?! The secret is cycle more, and your derrière gets used to it. Simple. Cheeky chat over, we limbered up ready for our 6 mile run and were on our way.
We took in all the sights, through the busy streets of Camden, past the Arsenal Football stadium all the while chatting, panting, sweating… When we crossed the finish line I took some sweaty pictures before heading home in what I'm referring to as my "post race gift", a taxi.
Musicals aren't really my thing but when I got invited to see the musical production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels starring Rufus Hound and Robert Lindsey, I couldn't resist. I went along with comedian Joe Lycett and what I was initially dreading turned out to be a really fun show. It was fantastically camp, hilarious throughout and Rufus Hound sings in it… Like, really well! Who knew?!
In other news, I popped along to the London Gay Pride parade on Saturday and participated with campaigners, students, health organisers, friends in what was a very special day. There were dance and street artists performing, really impressive floats and I met a man who had the most amazing head piece on. I need it!

Central Air Conditioning – Don't Get Fooled Again
June 12, 2018AC Service
At this moment on June 11, 2018 at 12:34 AM, the local outside temperature in Hackensack, NJ is a whopping 58 degrees. (I'll be proving it shortly). This is by no means a complaint. Nothing beats not having to provide heat or cooling service to one's home, especially when nights have that light breeze that lulls one to sleep.
I called this "Bet You Didn't See That One Comin'"
You probably don't recall the post I did about a month ago when quite suddenly, the temperature rose from the 70s to the mid 90s. It felt downright brutal, and I should be used to it having lived in NY and NJ all my life. And that is the purpose of this blog.
It's to help you realize that we aren't in summer yet. Technically, June 21 is the official start of summer. So we (i.e. the tri-sate area of NY, NJ & CT) has been getting a break on fuel bills, an extra bonus as we watched oil and gasoline prices that made $3.00 so last decade, once again chip away at our wallets.
Air conditioning is much more than just cold air. It's filtered air, catching pollen and other annoying causes of hay fever. It's a dehumidifier, helping people of all ages breathe easier by pulling the heavy air out of the home and dispersing it out safely into the atmosphere it came from. And of course, it really humane for pets. Our Pembroke Welsh Corgi tries so hard to find a good, cool spot where the ceiling vents are blowing that soft, cool breeze while he lays on his back, paws up, often asleep dreaming of chasing cars and cats (this is pure speculation. I don't really know what my dog dreams about.)
I dislike having to share negative thoughts but there have been so many times where I've been fooled. I'd plan a nice game of golf with friends, only to wake up to 90+ temps, humidity around the same number, and not even a hint of a breeze. To be honest, I'd rather sit in my car with the AC full blast listening to "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd.
OK, now for the air conditioning tips.
The first one is probably the most obvious if you're AC is not working in your home or office. Go Someplace Else! Grab your laptop and pray for a comfy seat where you can do whatever work needs doing, while slowly sipping on a Venti Caramel Frappacino WITH THE WHIP CREAM. That's good for at least an hour. Know where else it's cool? The local supermarket. You always need something. Check the ketchup and mustard, neither of which need refrigeration – so you can leisurely inspect the rows of Cherry Garcia and keep them far away from the Rocky Road.
OK OK Now I'm starting to allow the heat to generate a bit of madness. I'm cranky, not hungry, thirsty, but not sure if I want a coke or a coffee. And now for the punch-line – Instead of leaving your home, feeling guilty that you can't bring the dog into the grocery, please pick up the phone. Call Muccia Air Conditioning Service. There is this expectation that repairing a central AC unit requires the equivalent of getting Uncle Henry's inheritance AND still need to apply for a grant from some obscure group.
These are machines. Like washers, cars, computers, TVs. Things happen. Calling Muccia will get you two things that I promise you won't likely get often – 1) A quick reply from a tech who will ask some questions that will help him bring the right parts, whether he needs them or not. 2) You won't fall over when he hands you the bill. At a minimum, you'll know APPROXIMATELY the final cost within 10%, and they warranty their work, they leave your home clean of any fluids or lubricants required to do the job, and that comfortable feeling back home. You'll sleep better, and so will your dog, or cat or fish, whatever.
Life's too short to be uncomfortable. Call Muccia Plumbing and Air Conditioning. If you can avoid calling after 5 or on weekend and /or holidays you'll save the premium for that in-home visit at 2 AM, and it's going to likely to take longer than if you can just wait until morning.
Ahem, have you forgotten something?
Ah yes, before I sign off, remember when I said I was going to PROVE the temperature at the opening of this post. Well, here's the undisputed truth. Stay cool, Be Comfortable. Life is too short not to enjoy each and everyday.
