Quirky News
Up yours and away!
An air hostess who posted a picture of herself giving her passengers the finger has been sacked by Aeroflot airline bosses in Russia after it ended up on Twitter.
Flight attendant Tatiana Kozlenko put the snap up on her personal page on Vkontakte, one of Russia's most popular Facebook-style social networks.
Within hours the snap had clocked up dozens of 'likes'.
But she came down to earth with a bump when the photo was posted on Twitter and reTweeted by hundreds of fans.
Aeroflot - who announced the sacking on their own Twitter account - said: "Posting this photo shows Tatiana's attitude towards passengers and her duties. She acknowledged her fault when she spoke to her managers."
But furious Tatiana claims it isn't her arm in the snap - or even one of her airline's planes.
"I don't consider myself guilty! The photo was added to my page, I only tagged myself on it!!! The hand isn't mine, the plane is not my company's!!! I don't understand what they spoil my life for!!! I'm asking you for help and support!!!" she said on her Vkontakte page.

Colorful wall patterns always have a way of bringing tons of personality into a space. Although it takes a little patience, stripes are one of the easiest patterns to paint, and the results can be simply stunning.
Vertical stripes will make a room's ceiling appear higher while horizontal stripes will visually widen a room. Horizontal lines will also give your space a more contemporary feel.
{In this photo, the wall is covered with fabric. From archiexpo}
If 'high-energy' is what you want, it's OK to use several colors. The result could be electrifying, so you may want to reserve this treatment for one focal wall.
Of course, painting the walls is not the only way to bring colorful stripes into your space. You can also look for a great area rug, furniture pieces or lighting fixtures.
{Love this lampshade! From littlephant}
{What a great way to spruce up a boring, white ceiling fan! From inmyownstyle}

There are so many different ways to express yourself with stripes, and the good news is, this pattern is classic and timeless. It will never feel dated.

Cosplay Is Creative, Not Crazy: An Open Letter to the New York Post
Yesterday's New York Post review of upcoming SyFy reality show, Heroes of Cosplay, angered quite a few of us in the geek community. The article portrays the cosplay community as "confused" and "weird," all while looking down its nose at those who might enjoy the creative pursuit.Christina Mendenhall Jonathan Stryker, cosplaying at Florida Supercon 2013.
Yes, cosplay is insanely time-consuming. Yes, cosplay is expensive. Yes, cosplay represents a subset of fandom that not everyone is into, and that can be jarring to an outsider. I haven't seen Heroes of Cosplay; maybe it wrongly portrays the subculture. But it's your job as a journalist to educate yourself about your subject matter before jumping to conclusions based on a reality TV show. Cosplayers shouldn't be scoffed at, lumped in with "nutty Civil War re-enactors," because you were too cool for school to inform yourself an extra smidge about the industry.
We here at Cultist love ourselves some cosplay, so we felt we needed to set the record straight, just in time for any future cosplay articles and reviews you might try to run.
1. Cosplayers come from all walks of life, from full-time employees to students.
No need to wonder anymore "what these folks do to earn a living"; anyone from your dentist to that adjunct professor/freelance writer over there (cough) can be a potential cosplayer. I spoke with one Miami-area cosplayer, Jonathan Stryker, who is a marketing personal assistant for an author, videographer, and photographer but manages to find time for his favorite hobby. Another cosplayer, Alexa, happens to be a full-time writer for gaming journalism juggernaut Polygon. Ryan, a Miami lawyer, attended his first ever con (Florida Supercon 2012) in full Doctor Who regalia, fez and all.
2. Cosplay can range from store-bought pieces with handmade accents to full-fledge custom creations.
Stryker's effort here took about $1000 bucks and countless hours.
This writer's Game of Thrones-inspired get-up, on the other hand, took a just a couple of days. I bought the dress, and made everything else--only half that hair is actually mine.Jonathan Stryker This cosplay is NOT to be trifled with.
The night is dark and full of hot glue guns.
Sure, some people will spend a ton of money on construction or commissioning custom creations. Many others are just starting out and don't necessarily abide by hard and fast rules regarding construction. They just want to express their love for these characters and show off some artistic skill. Which brings me to my next point...

Reddit co-founder chimes in on SendGrid and Adria Richards fiasco
Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of user-generated news site Reddit, jumped into the SendGrid mess Tuesday, calling out fellow geeks for their social media attacks on Adria Richards.
In case you missed the story, Richards set off a firestorm after tweeting a photo of two guys who offended her with inappropriate sexual jokes during a tech conference.
She faced a flood of nasty messages, including this one, on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and other sites. Boulder-based SendGrid subsequently fired Richards, who worked as a developer evangelist for the startup.

I developed a grasp of most of the topics yet neural networks always seemed to elude me. Neural Networks for Machine Learning. About the Course Neural networks use learning algorithms that are inspired by our understanding of how the brain learns, but they are evaluated by how well they work for practical applications such as speech recognition, object recognition, image retrieval and the ability to recommend products that a user will like.
As computers become more powerful, Neural Networks are gradually taking over from simpler Machine Learning methods. They are already at the heart of a new generation of speech recognition devices and they are beginning to outperform earlier systems for recognizing objects in images. The course will explain the new learning procedures that are responsible for these advances, including effective new proceduresr for learning multiple layers of non-linear features, and give you the skills and understanding required to apply these procedures in many other domains.
Part 1 - Phantoms In The Brain (Episode 1) Why passwords have never been weaker—and crackers have never been stronger. In late 2010, Sean Brooks received three e-mails over a span of 30 hours warning that his accounts on LinkedIn, Battle.net, and other popular websites were at risk.
He was tempted to dismiss them as hoaxes—until he noticed they included specifics that weren't typical of mass-produced phishing scams. The e-mails said that his login credentials for various Gawker websites had been exposed by hackers who rooted the sites' servers, then bragged about it online; if Brooks used the same e-mail and password for other accounts, they would be compromised too.

Index of /content/downloads/pdf. The Rubik's Cube Solution. How to Solve the Rubik's Cube in Seven Steps The world's most famous puzzle, simultaneously beloved and despised for it's beautiful simple complexity, the Rubiks Cube has been frustrating gamers since Erno Rubik invented it back in 1974.
Over the years many brave gamers have whole-heartedly taken up the challenge to restore a mixed Rubik's cube to it's colorful and perfect original configuration, only to find the solution lingering just out of their grasp time and time again. After spending hours and days twisting and turning the vaunted cube in vain, many resorted to removing and replacing the multi-colored facelets of the cube in a dastardly attempt to cheat the seemingly infallible logic of the cube, while others simply tossed it to the side and dubbed it impossible. The Rubik's cube, it seemed, had defeated all. Species Counterpoint. An Introduction to Species Counterpoint COUNTERPOINT may be briefly defined as the art of combining independent melodies.
In figure 1 the lower melody is harmonized by one a third higher - such an arrangement of the voices could be regarded as counterpoint, but there is little or no independence between the parts; for example there is no dissonance between the voices, and both rise and fall together in parallel. However, the arrangement in figure 1a demonstrates much greater independence between its two voices, with movement in one part while the other halts, divergence in the melodic direction of the parts, and with at least some occurrence of dissonance.
In a longer melody the voices could peak at different times - this would also emphasize their independence. The Virial Theorem. Bestiario. Free Engineering Books. Here is an alphabetical list of online engineering books available for free download.

Why Being A Meaner Boss Will Help Your Company. Everybody likes to be liked. And unless you're the type of boss who revels in tyranny, it's only natural to seek the favor of your underlings. But there's a big difference between engaging with employees and fawning over them. In an era when the virtues of a collegial and collaborative environment are widely espoused, there's guilt associated with being a strong-handed boss. Managers are often afraid to pull rank for fear they'll fall out of grace with their reports and spoil team camaraderie if they're not nice. CanvasMol. Atcollab.

Film4's innovative new project 'Scene Stealers', is one that waters the seed of creative license, and thus, one that is screaming out to our free thinking, boundary smashing escapees. The project is an opportunity to get your work onto a global platform and represent the world of Visual Effects.
What's more, Joe Cornish, director of 'ATTACK THE BLOCK', has been appointed as the new project's 'head of jury', who will decide what does and does not qualify. Speaking about the project, he states: "Scene Stealers is a great idea. What better way to celebrate Film4′s amazing output over the last thirty years and to find some equally amazing new talent for the years ahead. I'm excited to be part of it and can't wait to see what kind of creativity is out there"
Yesterday, one of the animated entries submitted had made it onto the website as one of the most popular entries so far. (It was magical realist scene steal from 2008's 'In Bruges' and you can see it here.)
So, we were thinking, what better way to celebrate Escape Studios than to showcase our amazing new talent for the years ahead?
If you feel you are up to the challenge, present your work! The deadline for the competition is the 31st of July, and there are even more names to be announced for the jury in the coming weeks, so turn the ignition in the imagination on and get those Visual Effects brain cogs spinning!

Red Bull RB4 - nosecone delta winglets 26 September 2008
When BMW Sauber introduced this solution at the start of the season it looked very radical. It now seems less so, having inspired similar, if slightly differently shaped designs from Honda and McLaren. In Singapore, Red Bull have introduced an almost exact copy to help cope with the track's specific demands in terms of grip and balance. The revised nose provides a better quality of airflow to the car's sidepod inlets, which are particularly small on the RB4. It also helps improve airflow to the rear of the car, even if it doesn't generate a significant amount of additional downforce.

Preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse or Rapture....whichever comes first.
I prefer life without a cell phone at all. I haven't carried a cell phone in over 18 months and life has never been better. No $100 monthly bill, no inopportune interruptions, no ability to be tracked relentlessly by everyone in your directory. I just took a leap of faith and got into the way-back-machine and took a trip back to the 80's, a time when people left messages for you at work or on your answering machine.
Now I can take my better half out to dinner and give her the undivided attention she deserves. I can go to the store without having to solve someone elses problem while I am shopping. I can go to the range and not have to justify my actions to anyone but myself. Life goes too fast, I needed to slow it down a notch and the cell phone was the first place to start, and in retrospect, it was the best. Now I can carry an extra mag where once a cellphone resided.
Ive got a blackberry storm and really like it. It has the newest os on it though. To me its more function. The i-phone has alot more apps but most of them dont do anything useful. You may already know this but check out crackberry.com for alot of tips and tricks. I havent heard alot of good things about att's service either. Dont know though.
CrackBerry! CrackBerry! CrackBerry!
Then again I suppose I'm slightly biased. I like having a device I know I can fix if it happens to go lulu since I used to work on them as part of my job function.

"Sure, As long as the machines are workin' and you can call 911. But you take those things away, you throw people in the dark, and you scare the crap out of them; no more rules...You'll see how primitive they can get."
I carry cell phones/smart phone for my convience, not everyone elses. I screen my calls and only look at my email when I am on call for that week. Otherwise it is for emergencys. I really do not want to be teathered to anything.
If I am in the middle of a conversation and my phone goes off, I just silence it. If it is that important to get a hold of me, then leave a message.

If you hit a 800lb black bear in the pinky with a .45 it will spin him around backwards and the concussion will....
Oh yea sorry this is the crack berry/iphone one :)
The question is more what do you want it for, portable business or portable entertainment. For a businessman the Blackberry in far more business directed apps and support. For movies, music, and general entertainment the I-Phone is far better.

Well I for one give you tons of credit.. I thought about doing this, but with my kids and all, I need them to be able to get ahold of me anytime.. I keep my phone on vibrate 90% of the time and will not answer a number I don't know. They can leave a message and I will call them back.. So I'm ok with it all but the cost monthly.. But then again I don't have a home phone, so really what am I out? That is the other reason I keep it,. Oh to have the peaceful life that once was before computers and cel phones and computerized cars,.. Oh what peace.. LOL
Meh, neither, I prefer a regular ol' plain jane Cellular Phone.
Of the two options I voted iPhone. I HATE Blackberry, I have supported them since they hit the market and I personally think they suck.
I carry one for work and that is only because I am forced to as the Manager. I sold my iPhone only because since I have a work provided mobile phone I could not justify an $80 a month mobile phone bill. I could not convert it as my Work uses Verizon and I was told that if I converted my number the company owned it and I would never get it back.
That said, I would still have my iPhone if it weren't for work.
"Don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep." - Theodore Roosevelt
I voted iPhone. I recently bought the new 3GS. I bought it so I can start making iPhone $$$ on app development. The AT&T network is not as good at the Verizon network, but I'll stick with it for now. Plus my employer gets a discount for service.
Only thing I have used it for is app development, videoing my 2yo boy and browsing dc.com.
I do hate the whole twitter/facebook/blog/IM/messaging crap. When people message me on my phone I immediately call them back and tell them that if I am not important enough to talk to, then I am not important enough to message to.
However, I am very impressed with Apple software, the iPhone and the MAC OS X operating system. And that is from someone with years experience in windows/unix. The development toolset (objective-C and cocoa touch) is kind of dated, but it works.
I only voted for the Blackberry because the AT&T network sucks (not as bad as Sprint, but still).
I rarely used the phone portion of my iPhone but let me tell you, I used the rest of the phone ALL THE TIME! The map feature was a life saver, especially when you get as lost as much as I do and you move as often as we have. I also loved being able to upload games and some other silly stuff whenever I wanted to.
I tried both my husband's blackberry and my sisters and I didn't find them nearly as easy to navigate and use.
I vote for the iPhone.

If You Want To Know The Mind Of A Man Listen To His Words
If you need a communication device it seems the BlackBerry is better. If you need location stuff on your BlackBerry you can use Google Maps. All our I-Phone users want BlackBerrys, all but one of our BlackBerry users want to keep their BlackBerrys. The one thinks I-Phones are cool, and is young enough to care about being cool. Not being pejorative, just reporting on our 30+ users at my office.
Procrastinators are the leaders of tomorrow.
About the communication tools, I think iPhone has good communication, just not the exhaustive integration with corporate tools (which is what the corp users want). the new 3GS has VPN support and MS Exchange support. It also supports IMAP email, so your email can be synced from iPhone to other devices. (I don't know if previous versions of iPhone had this).
One thing I found I did not like while playing with the blackberries was that my sausage fingers had a hard time pressing the correct key.
My wife wants the blackberry storm due to the fact that it comes on the verizon network.
No matter how many iPhones I am around, I'll never be cool. And since I am paying for it with my own $, I'll stick with the iPhone. But truth be told, my iPhone is quite underutilized right now.
Last random thought, none of the current smartphones have the great Palm graffiti input. I am so much more efficient with the stylus and graffiti than other means of input.

Labor Progress
Labor progress with Spinning Babies
Labor Progress Tips with the Three Principles of Spinning Babies©
Find what to do when in this list of labor activities for each phase and stage of labor.
Note: If labor is progressing on its own, don't try and make it progress more. It is distracting and leads you away from your natural process. If, on the other hand,
- Labor seems not to start well (start and stop or just doesn't pick up),
- Pauses in the middle, or
- Contractions are strong without bringing dilation
you may benefit from some of the following suggestions.
Pre-Labor or Early Labor when contractions are irregular
Length 20-40 seconds but not consistent
When baby isn't fitting well, these contractions can be 60-120 seconds with no dilation...don't make an assumption, please. Its hard to tell this situation from transition without a vaginal exam. But one thing that usually goes together, the labor pattern is often irratic... There's a lot of details that are hard to explain in print. See Comparing OA an OP Labor Patterns for more details.
Relax the abdomen with Rebozo "sifting" (Manteado), Laughter, Love, Warm Chamomile tea,
Acupressure, Acupuncture, Chiropractic Adjustment, Abdominal and sacral releases.
Try and go about your day as normally as you can. Take a nap.
Is the abdominal wall loose? Does your uterus hang forward and make a crease underneath it at your panty line in front? Then use a pregnancy belt or a Rebozo to lift your uterus and allow the baby to come down on your cervix. Wear it until the baby is out to prevent a stall in labor after the head is born
Rest Smart
Aim your belly button down while you rest.
Gravity will help you with Rest Smart positions.
Sit smart, too.
Sit up with your back straight or a little forward to help the baby settle in the front of your abdomen.
Contractions help Gravity improve your baby's position, and

When there is pain or discomfort in pregnancy use the inversion. See the article on inversion in this web site. Move with Pelvic rocking on hands and knees, walking, circles on the ball.
Check in w providers if special needs present.
Early Labor when contractions are regular
Frequency 4-10 minutes apart
Length 20-45 seconds
Bloody show possible
Relax the abdomen with the same things listed in Pre-Labor. Wait on the tub.
Regular daily routine (special considerations if water broke) Eat every two hours and drink water, electrolyte drinks, a little grape juice or hibiscus tea (for examples) each hour.
Rest Smart when tired, walk or slow dance, lean forward, by say, washing the floor on your hands and knees.
Use Gravity with the Abdominal Lift.
Hands and knees or kneeling over the back of a couch or hospital bed.
Or, kneeling on pillows and resting your arms in a comfy chair.
Move: Lively hula-hoop circles on the Birth Ball for 20 minutes.
Stand and lean forward in the Shower if sitting is painful, do pelvic circles while standing.
Check in w providers to let them know potential for labor to bring you to the hospital (or them to you, if having a home birth). Call the Doula, doula supported labors are statistically shorter than labors without a doula.
Active Labor – beginning about 4 cm
Frequency 3-6 minutes apart, from start to start
Length 60-75 seconds from start to finish of the majority of contractions
May need quiet, dark, privacy
Continue to Rest Smart when tired and use the relaxation methods in Pre-labor. Massage between contractions.
Rebozo sifting for serious relaxation.
Movement: Walking can help contractions continue to come, be sure to eat, too. Slow Dancing is more for relaxation and not that dramatic for progress Circles on the Birth Ball, perhaps while in the Shower, Lunge for one sided pain, asynclitic head after 4 cm, or just progress when slow.
An inversion of one type or another, your preference, may help
followed by the Trochanter Roll (Walcher's Maneuver) if the baby isn't in the brim before that. See the article for details on how to do it.
Confined to bed?
Some providers persuade or direct all their moms to stay in bed during labor. Sometimes a woman's health is such that she has to stay in bed. Keep rotating the pelvis. Lay on your left side with a pillow between your knees or lift your right knee high up on a stack of pillows and shift your left hip back behind you, so to speak, so your belly aims in the mattress. Use pillows to support what needs supportin'
Then switch to your right side and try each of the variations. If you can kneel and lean over a birthing ball or the raised head of the bed, do so for 30 minutes between sides. Each thirty minutes change positions.
If your labor starts progressing rapidly, don't worry too much about position changes for the purpose of labor progress. On the other hand, if labor doesn't continue to progress, try and keep your back straight, not curled!
Active Labor – 5 cm (or 4-6) "Five Centimeter Slump"
Frequency 3-5 minutes apart Length 60-85 seconds If you cope thru 5cm, likely to have a natural birth
Relax your involuntary muscles as described before. Or, if you have a loose, pendulous womb, wear the pregnancy belt all during labor. Rest Smart when tired.
At any time in active labor (through the next three described phases) you can
1.) Do a sacral release,
2.) Do the inversion through three contractions, then,
3.) Do a pelvic floor release.
Afterward, you will probably want to sink in a full tub or take a warm shower to mentally relax after those three techniques which can be challenging this for into labor, but amazingly effective.
Gravity: Abdominal Lift and Tuck as before, do for 10 contractions in a row, resting between. Lunge for 6 contractions on each side.
Showering is very useful, maybe while sitting on birth ball, or leaning forward.
Feeling dispair? Or, labor is just very intense?! Time for a tub bath.
Stand and hang on to your partner's neck. Stand and hang on to a sheet thrown over the bathroom door-tie a knot in one end and throw the knot over the door, then shut the door with the knot on the other side. Now the sheet won't slip off the door and you can hang on the sheet and bend your knees and move to the contraction.
Movement: Slow dancing or slow dancing in the shower with the wall, or grip bars, while partner sprays your back with a warm stream of water from the shower hose.
Active Labor – advanced 6-8 cm
Frequency 3-4 minutes apart,
Length 60-85 seconds
If not at birth site, now is a good time to go!
Balance: as before, plus, Relax the throat by "cooing," deep, low tones are usually better than high pitched ones to relax the throat.
Gravity: Lots of moms like to be low to the ground...and they feel grounded with thier knees deeply bent. Kneeling on the floor while leaning forward, for instance, or crouching down like in this photo.
Need to speed things up? Sit on a toilet for three contractions, then stand for 3, and then sit for 3 contractions again. Shower or tub. Birth Balls are rarely desired this late in labor, but if so, go for it.
Movement: Lunge, if you haven't before, or try again for 6 contractions on each side Walking can still be helpful, but may not be practical. You will know what you need.
Active Labor – Transition 8-10 cm
Frequency 2 1/2-4 minutes apart
Length 75-120 seconds
bloody show likely even if saw in early labor or before labor.
Balance as before: Inversions are a common success for the stall in a posterior labor. Use of Doula and face to face support is commonly appreciated. Loud moaning to a rhythm, cool cloth
Gravity: Standing and leaning forward, Rest Smart when in bed. Birthing sling. Stand and hang on to the Rebozo or give the squat bar a try through 3-6 contractions.
Movement: Lunge, Holding Rebozo or sheet and straightening back. Bending knees with contractions and moving freely. Baby still high? Trocanter Role with Walcher's Maneuver. Pelvic floor release.
2nd Stage – Pushing or Releasing
Frequency 3-5 minutes
Length 45-75 seconds long
Balance: Be upright with your back long and extended. Don't curl your back. That's right, don't curl your back. When labor is not progressing readily, let your back be straight the way it naturally wants to lengthen. Sit up on a toilet (the porcelain birthing stool), lay on your side with your back arched instinctually, or stand and lift your arms to hang onto something sturdy above you.
Relax well in between contractions. Let the contraction get well started before pushing voluntarily. If you need to push, use exhale pushing to conserve strength or mental stamina. At the end of each contraction, take several deep cleansing breaths. Smile and feel the joy. Make deep vocalizations, vowel sounds or roaring as desired. Kiss your lover. Know that your baby is helping you by pressing that pain out of your body. Work as a team. Let the baby rock back and forth in your pelvis, this relaxes the tissues in the perineum.
Gravity: Vertical positions or side lying on bed to open the pelvis. "Towel pull" squat for 3-6 contractions, hot washcloth on perineum for privacy, cold wet washcloth on anus to prevent or sooth hemorrhoids.
Movement: Rock forward and back while kneeling and leaning over a ball or raised head of the bed. Lunge if baby is asynclitic.
Back pain?
For back pain at any point in the dilation phase: Start with the abdominal Lift and Tuck for 10 contractions in a row. This may solve the cause (extension of fetal head, posterior position or asynclitism) and the effect (the pain).
In any point in dilation phase and the pushing stage: Do the lunge for 3-6 contractions on each side.
1.) Do a sacral release,
2.) Do the inversion through three contractions, then,
3.) Do a pelvic floor release.
Afterward, you will probably want to sink in a full tub or take a warm shower to mentally relax after those three techniques which can be challenging this for into labor, but amazingly effective. See Comfort Measures for more ideas.
Fetal Rotation is one sign of progress. If the baby can't rotate then relax the pelvic area and open the pelvis so the baby can come through as is.

For 24 hours a day, seven days a week, MoDOT employs people to drive the 200 miles of state roads in the St. Louis area, looking for drivers to help in the case of an emergency.
"We're out there to help the public," said Holly Snodgrass, a MoDOT Motorist Assistant based out of North St. Louis County. "[We are here to help] those who are stranded on the side of the road, anything impeding traffic we respond to just to help expedite traffic, keep it moving, keep emergency personnel safe and keep the public safe."
Snodgrass and the other 20-plus Motor Assistants will have their work showcased during an open house at the Motorist Assist station at 669 Salt Mill Road in Chesterfield from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The event was set up to give drivers a chance to personally thank the assistants who have helped them in times of need and to highlight the 20th anniversary of the program.
According to MoDOT statistics, the program handled 37,000 incidents in 2012. There were over 8,000 abandoned vehicles, over 7,700 mechanical repairs and 5,500 tire changes the operators helped during those 12 months.

2014 Massave & Gasnetworks rebate amounts have been released!
My heating system is old and I cannot afford a new one right now!
Relax! If you live in Massachusetts there are some great programs that offer rebates and 0% interest loans for the installation of new high efficiency home heating equipment and its not too late to get the ball rolling!!! Visit
For more information about 0% loans for heating systems from Massave.
Gas Company
Rebates $1200+$225
Anyone switching from an old standard/low efficiency gas boiler to a new High Efficiency Gas Navien Combination On Demand Boiler in 2014 is eligible for a $1200 gas company rebate on the boiler plus an additional $225 for our aftermarket outdoor temperature sensor.
Gas Company
Hot Water Heater
Water heater rebates are for replacement of any existing gas or electric hot water heater. A Navien High Efficiency on Demand Hot Water Heater is eligible for a $500 Gas Company Rebate. Hot water storage tanks (also called, Indirect Hot Water Heater) have a $400 rebate from the gas company.
Boiler installations generally take 3-4 days to complete and we can do them anytime of year so, if you have been on the fence about a new heating or hot water system its still a great time to buy.
If you purchase your new heating system from Zereski Plumbing, you will be supplied with a hot water heater and suplimental space heaters to minumize the disruption to daily life during the installation of new equipment. This is something only Zereski Plumbing is doing for our customers at no aditonal cost. Call or E mail to see what rebates you might be eligible for in 2014!
How long do you think our heating system and/or hot water heater will last?
So old rusty held out for another year, great! You know she's getting old, but maybe she'll last one more winter? People ask us this type of thing all the time and the fact is that without fairly obvious signs of imminent failure, I am just making an educated guess based on age and condition. The people who do home inspections for home buyers found another way to gauge the "value" of an existing heating or hot water device for the purpose of selling a house. If your boiler is over 5 years old, or your water heater more than 6 years old, than it would be considered "fully depreciated" by a home inspector. This means that the boiler or water heater has lived out its useful intended warrantee life expectancy. Even though it may be perfectly operational for years, it would be considered a potential problem and liability to someone who might want to purchase your home, according to home inspectors. Also many people assume that if their heating or hot water heater failed and leaked that their home owners insurance will pay to replace the failed unit. This is usually not the case. If your heating system or hot water system fails, most homeowners policies only cover the subsequent water damage, but not the appliances themselves, especially if they are more than a few years old and past the manufacturers warrantee period.
Heating and hot water systems are easy to take for granted, until they don't work. Don't wait until the system fails to start looking for a new one! Planning ahead will save you money and aggravation down the road. With gas company rebates and federal tax incentives a new high efficiency heating and hot water system costs about the same or less than a low or standard efficiency system and takes up far less space and with 0% interest loans from Massave a new heating system could cost only a couple hundred dollars a month.
Heating systems and hot water production systems always fail when under the most strain.
So that's usually winter, holidays or when you have company over. People think its just "Murphy's Law" or bad luck, but in reality it makes perfect sense that it would fail at the worst possible time. Now in 2013 the gas company is offering $1200 rebates for high efficiency combination boilers and hot water heating systems like the one shown in the video near the top of this page. Some people will also qualify for a $300 credit on their income tax return. We also install aftermarket outdoor re-set controls on all of our Navien combination boilers, which may qualify some installations for an additional $225 rebate. Don't wait until your heating system goes to start looking at what options are best for you, or you may find yourself at the mercy of a big yellow pages advertising company built to take advantage of people in an emergency situation. I walk into many homes where people have had a boiler installed during the winter by a big 24 hour service company and I am always shocked to hear what it cost for that "emergency service installation". Yellow pages emergency service companies have to buy and store boilers and hot water heaters before people need them. This means more overhead costs for that company, which translates into higher costs to the customer. They also have to pay employee's overtime and holiday/weekend pay to install the product, this cost is also passed on to the consumer.
Tired of lugging that Poland Spring bottle into the house?
If you have ever had to change out the bottle on a water cooler, you know how much fun that is. First take the old one off throw it in the pile of other empty bottles. Then lug the new one in from the garage and up the stairs. Grab that 50 pound jug of water and quickly flip it over and drop it onto the cooler...oooops! You missed! Now there's water all over the floor, get the mop. whoops, your toddler just ran through the puddle and is now jumping on the couch with wet socks. Aghhhh! what a hassle! Not to mention the space the bottles take up, the cost of the water and damage to the environment from not re-using water bottles. Stop the madness!!! Have Zereski Plumbing install a reverse osmosis (R.O.) water filter in your home and never pay for bottled water again. They can be added just about anywhere, but usually to the kitchen sink area and/or hooked up to your refrigerators water and ice dispenser. RO filtered water is the purest water you can get, period. Its used by the military on a large scale for desalination of sea water and it costs less than you think. Do yourself and the environment a favor and call Zereski Plumbing for a free estimate on a RO filter installation.
What is a Mechanical system?
A mechanical system is a general term for the machines, appliances and systems that keep your house warm in winter and cool in the summer and make your hot water for bathing.
Systems that use oil...
If you have an oil fired anything, you really need to have that oil fired system checked and maintained on a regular basis because oil systems require more maintenance than gas burning appliances. If your boiler is over 6 years old you might consider signing up for a service contract with your local oil supplier. Often these contracts involve paying a couple hundred dollars a year for general maintenance. Some oil companies also offer a general system insurance plan.
Systems that use natural gas...
Most natural gas and propane fired equipment need very little maintenance compared to oil systems, but should still be checked at least yearly to prevent problems and catch little things before they turn into big problems.
High Efficiency Systems....
High efficiency gas systems need more maintenance than older less efficient gas systems. If you have a high efficiency boiler, on demand hot water heater or combination unit it should be checked every six months. Certainly no less than once a year to keep things working smoothly.
Don't ignore maintenance and repairs....
Be proactive about problems when they are first discovered, small leaks turn into bigger ones, its just a matter of time! Also dealing with problems before they are an emergency always costs less. So if you know that no qualified person has looked at your mechanical systems in a few years, than consider having a scheduled maintenance check up. Also finding parts for units over 7 years old can take 2-3 days depending on the brand. So its far less disruptive to order the parts that can be seen wearing out, than wait until they break and have the unit out of commission while waiting for new parts. Suppliers generally stop keeping spare parts on the shelf for models over five years old. This means they have to be ordered from the manufacturer and be air shipped. Zereski Plumbing and Heating offers many maintenance services for gas appliances, so if its been a while since any maintenance has been performed, or that bucket under a drippy pipe is filling up faster, you should contact us for a service check up.
Did you know???
Did you know that audible sounds of water moving through your heating system indicates a problem? That's right, if you can hear water flowing through the pipes when the heat comes on than you may have air in the heating system. Air in hydronic heating systems chokes efficiency, burns out circulators and usually means you have at least one small leak in the system. So if that boiler is covered in rust, its time to call us! Water on the floor? Call before there's more!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
New York City's water supply system is one of the most extensive municipal water systems in the world. This complex system relies on a combination of tunnels, aqueducts, and reservoirs to meet the daily needs of the city's over 8 million residents and its many visitors. Thanks to well-protected wilderness watersheds, New York's water treatment process is simpler than in other American cities. One advantage of the system is that 95% of the total water supply is supplied by gravity. The other 5% needs to be pumped to maintain pressure, but this is sometimes increased in times of drought when the reservoirs are at lower than normal levels.[1]
The city has sought to restrict development throughout its watershed. One of its largest watershed protection programs is the Land Acquisition Program, under which the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has purchased or protected through conservation easement over 130,000 acres (53,000 ha) since 1997.[2]
Responsibility for the city water supply is shared between three institutions: The DEP operates and maintains the system and is responsible for investment planning; the Municipal Water Finance Authority raises debt in the market to finance the system; and the Water Board sets rates and collects user payments.
The DEP has a workforce of over 6,000 employees. It includes three bureaus in charge of, respectively, the upstate water supply system, the city's water and sewer operations, and wastewater treatment:
The New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority ("NYW") finances the capital needs of the water and sewer system of the city through the issuance of bonds, commercial paper and other obligations. It is a public-benefit corporation created in 1985 pursuant to the New York City Municipal Water Finance Authority Act. The Authority is administered by a seven-member Board of Directors. Four of the members are ex officio members: the Commissioner of Environmental Protection of the City, the Director of Management and Budget of the City, the Commissioner of Finance of the City and the Commissioner of Environmental Conservation of the State. The remaining three members are public appointments: two by the Mayor, and one by the Governor.[4]
The New York City Water Board sets water and sewer rates for New York City sufficient to pay the costs of operating and financing the system, and collects user payments from customers for services provided by the water and wastewater utility systems of the City of New York. The five Board members are appointed to two-year terms by the Mayor.[5]
The city water system consists of reservoirs, aqueducts, tunnels and distribution pipes that channel drinking water to residents. A comprehensive raised-relief map of the system is on display at the Queens Museum of Art.
The water system has a storage capacity of 550 billion US gallons (2.1×109 m3) and provides over 1.2 billion US gallons (4,500,000 m3) per day of drinking water to more than eight million city residents and another one million users in four upstate counties bordering on the water supply system. Three separate sub-systems, each consisting of reservoirs and aqueducts, bring water from Upstate New York to the city:
The latter two aqueducts provide 90 percent of the drinking water of the city. Water from both aqueducts is stored first in the large Kensico Reservoir and subsequently in the much smaller Hillview Reservoir closer to the city.
From the Hillview reservoir water flows by gravity through three tunnels under the city, where water rises again to the surface under natural pressure through a number of shafts. The three tunnels are:
The distribution system is made up of an extensive grid of water mains stretching approximately 6,500 miles (10,500 km).
In order to comply with federal and state laws regarding the filtration and disinfection of drinking water, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New York State Department of Health called on the city to create a treatment plan to serve the Croton System. The underground filtration plant is under construction in Van Cortlandt Park. While the Bloomberg administration originally budgeted the project at $992 million in 2003, an audit by the city's comptroller placed the actual costs at $2.1 billion in August 2009.[8]
The New York City water supply system leaks at a rate of up to 36 million US gallons (140,000 m3) per day.[9] A complex five-year project with an estimated $240 million construction cost was initiated in November 2008 to correct some of this leakage.
The construction of Water tunnel No. 3 is intended to provide the city with a critical third connection to its Upstate New York water supply system, allowing the city to close tunnels No. 1 and No. 2 for repair for the first time of their history. The tunnel will eventually be more than 60 miles (97 km) long. Construction on the tunnel began in 1970, and its first phase is completed. Completion of all phases is not expected until at least 2020.[10]

Miami-Dade Plummets in "Most Dangerous Cities" Rankings
Categories: Crime, Survey Says
The rankings compare the rates of various serious crimes in a city and then compare them to the national average and assign a score. This year, Miami-Dade received a score of 63.89, which is down considerably from last year's 79.24. But it's still nothing to write home about. Greater New York City has a score of -32.09.
On the city-by-city list, Miami Gardens is once again the most dangerous city in the area with a score of 138.05, which makes its the 40th most dangerous city in America. Still, that's down from when it was the 13th most dangerous city in 2008.
Miami Beach isn't far behind at 42, and Miami proper is at 51. This year, not a single Florida city cracks the top 25, but St. Petersburg is the most dangerous city in Florida, coming in at 31. Coral Springs is once again the safest city in Florida, coming in at 358.

Situated in Town Hall Square, the Holy Spirit Church is a striking 14th-century Gothic house of worship that's still used by Lutherans today. Look up at the elaborate outdoor clock, the oldest in Tallinn, with carvings dating from 1684—it's one of the most photographed landmarks in town. Inside, intricate wood carvings decorate Baroque pews and a Renaissance-era pulpit. The first Estonian sermons were preached here after the Reformation.

Rusty 2nd, Phillip 3rd
Acworth, Ga. – The MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour debuted its new format today at Dallas Landing Park in Acworth in front of one of its largest crowds to date. Fans poured in to see the Pro Men and Jr. Pro Men compete in their respective finals, and to witness the excitement of the Pro Tour's new Main Event. Between the live music, a stacked six-man pro final, plenty of ROCKSTAR girls, a big-air challenge and a double up contest; fans were treated to an epic wake party, full of action and entertainment. "We definitely left an impression in Acworth with this new format," said the current King of Wake, Aaron Rathy. "The fans and riders were all really pumped on how things went down and to see new elements of the sport added to the Pro Tour." The Pro Men kicked off the final day of action with their quarterfinal round, where 20 riders hit the water in five heats of four. The quarterfinals cut the competition in half, only advancing the top two riders from each heat onto the semifinals. The semifinals quickly narrowed down the field of riders to setup the six-man final, but not without an upset. Austin Hair of Tega Cay, SC beat out four-time X Games gold medalist Danny Harf and former Pro Tour champ Shaun Murray to advance to his first Pro Tour finals appearance. The finals pinned Hair, Adam Errington, Rusty Malinoski, Phillip Soven, JD Webb and Harley Clifford against each other in a six-man final. In such a stacked final heat, riders couldn't hold anything back in order to win the first Pro Tour stop of the 2010 season. Aussie Phenom Harley Clifford, the current defending Pro Tour titlist, took that notion to the next level during his final run, landing a handle pass KGB 540 – the first ever in a contest. Clifford's impressive run was more than enough to take first place in the Pro Men's finals and take the lead in the Pro Tour standings. Malinoski and Soven rounded out the Pro Men's podium, respectively. "I'm stoked," said Clifford. "Sticking the KGB 5 and winning the first Pro Tour stop in the same day is just unreal." Following the Pro Men's finals, the Pro Tour went right into the Indmar Double Up contest, where the "Bone-Crusher" Rusty Malinoski was declared the obvious winner after sticking his Toeside 1080. Chad Sharpe, who is known for his bag of tricks off the kicker, won the Rockstar Energy Drink Big- Air Challenge with his massive Indy Glide. Sharpe and Malinoski each took home a $1,000 for winning their respective events. In the Jr. Pro Men's division, riders hit the water in two heats of five for their semifinal round. With only the top two riders from each heat advancing, the field of riders was narrowed down to Freddie Wayne, Kyle Evans, Nick Galotifore and Daniel Powers for the four-man final. All four rippers threw down some series runs, but Galotifore's Heel 7 off the double up helped the Orlando native rise above the competition to win his first Pro Tour stop. Powers and Evans rounded out the Jr. Pro Men's podium, respectively. "It's crazy, I can't believe I took first place," said Galotifore. "I just laid down my run, stuck my Heel 7, and it paid off. I'm stoked!" With finals wrapped up in Acworth, the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour will now head to Fort Worth, Tex., on June 10-12. Additional venues for the 2010 season include Elizabethtown, Ky., Colorado Springs, Colo. and Knoxville, Tenn. To catch all the high-flying, rail-sliding, water-sports action of the Acworth Pro Tour stop on television, tune in to FUEL TV on July 20 at 8 p.m. EST.

The application of the glutamate analog L-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyric acid (L-AP4) to neurons produces a suppression of synaptic transmission. Although L-AP4 is a selective ligand at a subset of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), the precise physiological role of the L-AP4-activated mGluRs remains primarily unknown. To provide a better understanding of the function of L-AP4 receptors, we have generated and studied knockout (KO) mice lacking the mGluR4 subtype of mGluR that displays high affinity for L-AP4. The mGluR4 mutant mice displayed normal spontaneous motor activity and were unimpaired on the bar cross test, indicating that disruption of the mGluR4 gene did not cause gross motor abnormalities, impairments of novelty-induced exploratory behaviors, or alterations in fine motor coordination. However, the mutant mice were deficient on the rotating rod motor-learning test, suggesting that mGluR4 KO mice may have an impaired ability to learn complex motor tasks. Patch-clamp and extracellular field recordings from Purkinje cells in cerebellar slices demonstrated that L-AP4 had no effect on synaptic responses in the mutant mice, whereas in the wild-type mice 100 microM L-AP4 produced a 23% depression of synaptic responses with an EC50 of 2.5 microM. An analysis of presynaptic short-term synaptic plasticity at the parallel fiber-->Purkinje cell synapse demonstrated that paired-pulse facilitation and post-tetanic potentiation were impaired in the mutant mice. In contrast, long-term depression (LTD) was not impaired. These results indicate that an important function of mGluR4 is to provide a presynaptic mechanism for maintaining synaptic efficacy during repetitive activation. The data also suggest that the presence of mGluR4 at the parallel fiber-->Purkinje cell synapse is required for maintaining normal motor function.

I got a lovely email from amazon.com today telling me the good news: an album that I bought in 2005 has been added at no charge to my amazon.com download music library.
Gee, if I wanted those songs in MP3 format, dontcha think I would have ripped the CD by now?
they do this to save disc space in the cloud. So if you rip any random record, upload it i into the google cloud, you will get cd-quality mp3s - then they just need one copy without the sparkling from records.
It would be easy for me to rip CD tracks into MP3 as well, but the key is
that Amazon doesn't know that. :P
What do you mean by "save space in the cloud" ? There is *infinite* space
in the cloud. The cloud solves all problems and transcends all limitations.
Trust the Cloud. The Cloud is your friend. Not trusting the Cloud is treason, and treason is punishable by summary execution.

Yeah. The hype is so intense at this point that it's actually devolved into
personal attacks on people who still want to run things on their own hardware.

Get AccessThere is much variation in the incidence of anti-tuberculosis drug resistance, and significant differences exist between countries throughout the world. However, reports concerning newly identified areas with a high prevalences of drug resistance indicate that the creation of resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not limited to one part of the world [1, 2]. The aim of the present study has been to determine levels of M. tuberculosis complex resistance to first-line drugs in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis referred to our clinic in the Sureyyapasa Chest Diseases and Thoracic Surgery Training Hospital, which is one of the major referral chest hospitals in Turkey, with an 800-bed pulmonary department.
Between April 2003–April 2004, all cases with pulmonary tuberculosis referred to our clinic were evaluated prospectively. A combination of sputum smear microscopy by using the Ziehl-Neelsen technique and Löwenstein-Jensen culture medium was used for the diagnosis of tubercul ...

The Prince Triple Threat (TT) Warrior has a long standing family tradition, descending from the original Precision Response 660 and Precision Response Titanium, both past choices of former world #1 Patrick Rafter. This oversize version features an open string pattern and a lively, spin friendly response. That response makes this a great stick for spin artists, chip and chargers and control addicts. The addition of Triple Braid (titanium, copper and carbon) mixed with Tungsten, at the 2 and 10 o'clock areas of the frame, provide the same fundamental stability but with a softer, more forgiving feel near the top of the string bed.

We have developed an inducible system to visualize gene expression at the levels of DNA, RNA and protein in living cells. The system is composed of a 200 copy transgene array integrated into a euchromatic region of chromosome 1 in human U2OS cells. The condensed array is heterochromatic as it is associated with HP1, histone H3 methylated at lysine 9, and several histone methyltransferases. Upon transcriptional induction, HP1alpha is depleted from the locus and the histone variant H3.3 is deposited suggesting that histone exchange is a mechanism through which heterochromatin is transformed into a transcriptionally active state. RNA levels at the transcription site increase immediately after the induction of transcription and the rate of synthesis slows over time. Using this system, we are able to correlate changes in chromatin structure with the progression of transcriptional activation allowing us to obtain a real-time integrative view of gene expression.

A three-time Cy Young Award winner and a finalist for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team, Jim Palmer had his jockey shorts handed to him in 1991 when he attempted to make a comeback seven years after retiring from the Big Leagues. To his credit, Cakes realized he was over-matched early on and threw in the towel after giving up five hits and two runs in two innings of a spring training game. His brief comeback did produce one amusing anecdote though; when a coach unfamiliar with Palmer informed the 6-foot-3 right-hander: "You'll never get into the Hall of Fame with those mechanics." Palmer allegedly looked at him for a moment and replied, "I'm already in the Hall of Fame."

Win a Signed Copy of The Kitchen's Cookbook Club Feature, Desserts for Every Season
by Maria Russo in Contests, January 11th, 2014For the first time on Saturday's brand-new episode of The Kitchen (airing Saturdays at 11am/10c), the co-hosts introduced fans to what will become a regular segment on the show — Cookbook Club — wherein they welcome a cookbook author to the set to check out his or her recipes and even taste some of the book's most-tempting dishes.
Pastry chef Jenny McCoy kicked it off this week with her publication, Desserts for Every Season, a sweet-tooth-satisfying collection of easy-to-make treats. While the book boasts recipes that are grouped by seasonal ingredients and flavors, Jenny says that each how-to is approachable enough that you can swap out the fruit featured in one season's dish for something else — whatever happens to be the freshest when you're making it. She and Katie wasted no time in cooking up one of the book's most-decadent recipes, Chocolate-Dried Cherry Bread Pudding — a warm, gooey dessert made with milk chocolate, a bit of orange zest and some chewy dried cherries.
You can buy Jenny's book here, or you can enter to win a free copy from FN Dish. We're giving five lucky, randomly selected fans a signed copy of Jenny's book. To enter to win, just leave a comment below telling FN Dish your all-time favorite dessert recipe on FoodNetwork.com (you must include a recipe URL).
You may only comment once to be considered, and you don't have to purchase anything to win; a purchase will not increase your chances of winning. Odds depend on total number of entries. Void where prohibited. Only open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. states, D.C. or Puerto Rico, and you must be at least 18 to win. For the first day of the giveaway, all entries (answers) must be entered between 11am EST on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014, and 5pm EST on January 17, 2014. Subject to full official rules. By leaving a comment on the blog, you acknowledge your acceptance of the Official Rules. ARV of each prize: approx. $35.00. Sponsor: Scripps Networks, LLC, d/b/a Food Network, 9721 Sherrill Blvd, Knoxville, TN 37932.
So tell us: What is your all-time favorite dessert recipe on FoodNetwork.com?

My son's favorite dessert is Ina Garten's Outrageous Brownies. I make this recipe every year to send to my son's school as his birthday treat. This year when my son was passing out brownies to some of his former teachers, he was asked if the brownies were "his mom's amazing brownies"? I have to say that maybe I have not been completely honest. I have not given credit, where credit is due. Thank you Ina Garten for your Outrageous Brownie recipe, and helping me look like baker!!!
Outrageous Brownies http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/out…
Ingredients1 pound unsalted butter
1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups chopped walnutsDirections
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter and flour a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not overbake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.

Signed for Celtic in 2010 for £2.4 million after an almost Holty-like time at lower league English clubs. Has scored over 50 goals in 80-odd games for the Hoops. He may have a liking for Rooney-style ladies as his unusual shirt number is 88. (Born 1988, Celtic founded 1888). It could have been worse, but if he`d been born in 1969 he would have retired by now.

Pittsburgh-New England Zebra Update
A week ago against Indianapolis, the Patriots were never flagged for offensive holding or pass interference, usually the two most-harmful penalties. This week against Pittsburgh, the Patriots were not flagged for offensive holding or pass interference. Last season in the AFC title game against Indianapolis, the Patriots were never called for pass interference or offensive holding. Last season in the playoff game before that, Tennessee at New England, the Patriots were not flagged for offensive holding or defensive interference. Because they are well-coached, the Patriots commit fewer infractions than other teams, and there is no doubt the best team won at Heinz Field this Sunday. But are we seriously supposed to believe that in four consecutive AFC playoff games, Patriots offensive linemen never held and Patriots defensive backs never interfered? Rules are rules, and ought to be enforced for New England the same way they are for everyone else.
Time to Change the Defensive Holding Call
Defensive holding is five yards marched off, but an automatic first down; this makes the penalty an absolute killer if assessed when the offense has more than five yards to go. New England 24, Pittsburgh 10 in the third quarter, the Steelers had the Patriots facing third-and-17 in their own territory. A screen pass clanged to the ground incomplete, the crowd roared, the Steelers would get the ball back in good field position, except -- defensive holding. Set aside that the call was ticky-tacky. New England needed 17 yards for a first down; Pittsburgh was penalized five yards; New England received a first down. The Flying Elvii ended up with a touchdown on the drive, and the game changed from tense to a walkover. How about making defensive holding a simple five-yard mark-off?

Good question, Glasis. The best way to begin a career in fashion is to study the latest trends through fashion magazines, runway shows and other fashion photography.
Also, many trade schools geared toward arts education offer concentrations for fashion design and marketing.
Getting an internship or job shadowing experience with a designer, buyer or modeling agency can also be a big help. Like most high profile jobs, who you know in the fashion industry may be just as important as what you know.

Gitanjali Lifestyle opened the Lakme Fashion Week Spring Summer 2010 edition by providing the jewellery for Neeta Lulla and her daughter Nishka Lulla's collections.
Nishka Lulla is a debutante at fashion week and it was good timing on her part: the frilly, romantic things she did added another dimension to the pretty picture coming into focus for spring. Inspired by pixies, the main idea here was to showcase softly draped, layered minis in net, chiffon and lace. In silvery shades of rose, the minis gave her look a demureness they might otherwise have lacked: no matter what kinds of embellishments they came with—and they came with plenty of embroidery—her frocks were seriously abbreviated!
Opening the showing with a live rendition of a mantra by Siddharth Mahadevan, Saumil Shringharpure and Alyssa Mendonsa, Neeta Lulla contributed to autumn's trousseau spirit, which hung heavy over the kurtas worn with floor-length jackets and ghagras, saris with broad gota and crystal borders, flared pants, dhotis, and lungis—in a predominantly beige, dull gold and silver palette.
These showings might have been diverse in spirit but all in all it was rather fun!
