Women's tennis picks up key A-Sun win over Stetson, 4-2
Requires Adobe Flash
Sunday, March 27, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 26, 2011) -
After winning sweeping through doubles play, the ETSU women's tennis team picked up three singles victories to defeat Stetson, 4-2, Saturday afternoon at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center.
With the win ETSU improves to 10-6 overall and 7-1 in A-Sun play, while the Hatters dropped just their second match of the season. Stetson is now 15-2 overall and 6-2 in A-Sun play. The Bucs now are tied with just North Florida atop the A-Sun standings as both teams have just one loss.
"What an awesome effort today by the girls," said ETSU Assistant Coach
Travis Sandlant.
"Hats off to Stetson as they threw everything at us, but we responded each time they tried to claw their way back."
The match started with ETSU taking control of doubles play. The Bucs won each of the three matches to take the early 1-0 lead.
The ETSU duo of
Diana Navrostska
(Lviv, Ukraine) and
Andra Voinea
(Brasov, Romania) picked up a quick 8-2 win over Shannon Gunning and Lindsey Cable at the No. 3 position. Since teaming together about halfway through the season, Navrostska/Voinea are now 7-1 on the season including a perfect 7-0 mark in league play.
Paula Jaime
(Madrid, Spain) and
Karina Kedzo
(Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) defeated Carolina de los Santos and Unnati Purushotham, 8-4, at the No. 1 spot. Jaime/Kedzo have now won seven straight doubles matches.
Marine Wieliczko
(Rouen, France) and
Kelly Holtzhausen
(Johannesburg, South Africa) downed Sierra Sullivan and MayaBlue Stauffer-MacDowell, 8-5. Wieliczko/Holtzhausen have now won four straight and are undefeated in A-Sun play.
With the 1-0 advantage, Kedzo picked up a quick 6-0, 6-1 victory over Stauffer-MacDowell at the No. 4 position to put the Bucs up 2-0. Kedzo is a perfect 8-0 in A-Sun singles play.
After Stetson picked up a victory at the No. 2 position to cut the ETSU lead, Navrostska extended the lead back out as she knocked off Sullivan, 6-1, 6-3. The Hatters cut into the lead once again as de los Santos defeated Jaime at the No. 1 position.
The Bucs finally clinched the match as Wieliczko earned a tough 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Gunning at the No. 3 position.
"It was a huge effort by Marine today to come back from a set down and clinch the win for us," added Sandlant. "That was a true testament of her fighting abilities."
The Bucs return to action on Friday, April 1 and Saturday, April 2 as they travel to Kennesaw State and Mercer for the final A-Sun regular season matches of the season. Friday's match against KSU will begin at 11 a.m., while Saturday's match at Mercer will get underway at 10 a.m.

Kyle Wyman Off-Season Part 1 - December 2013
NEWS December 6, 2013
Photo by Brian J Nelson
December 6, 2013 - It's been a long time since I've submitted a blog entry, but I'm back writing again after about a year and am ready to commit to a monthly
story for the rest of the off-season and through the 2014 AMA Pro Road
Racing series.
2013 is just about in the books. It was a tough year full of learning
experiences and injury, but I'm ready for 2014 and the road ahead. It's
always about mid-December when I really start getting stir crazy, trying
to hold back the itch for more racing, but after the season I had that
feeling has never been stronger than it is now.
Since the close of the season I have been living in Leeds, AL with my
girlfriend, Elena Myers. We've been training, riding and traveling all
over! Going to Sportbike Track Time track days, coaching with the
DiSalvo Speed Academy and also attending Colin Edwards' Texas Tornado
Boot Camp have most notably made up our off-season so far.
Instructing at Colin's camp was probably the most fun of all. Who could
pass up four days of riding, guns and bonfires? Not me. I couldn't
believe the compound that he has built out there in Texas. There was a
giant pack of students, close to 30, and we rode ourselves into the
ground (quite literally). I'm really a flat tracker on the inside,
though I rarely get to strap on my steel shoe anymore. After four days
we were completely shot with all the riding. I couldn't imagine going
out there for the 7-day racer camp in January, even though I'd jump at
the first opportunity. If you ever get the chance, be sure to head down
there for a camp. You'll even get to shoot a .50 cal rifle...
I've also been doing a lot of cycling lately, mostly mountain biking!
Although it was the cause of my mid-season broken wrist, I've found my
time on the MTB to be rewarding both physically and mentally, and I've
kept at it over the past couple months since the season ended to get
stronger and try to feed that itch to go racing. I entered a 50 mile
mountain bike race in mid-November called the "Oak Ass." I only knew
what the name meant once the race was over and I sat down for the first
time (if you know what I mean). 50 miles of singletrack mountain biking
in the mountains of Alabama sounded like a nice little Saturday, and it
sure lived up. I'm hoping to enter some more races in January - the
mental strength needed to complete those long races is a great training
Being off the race track is only part of it my itch lately, but the
feeling of not knowing what 2014 has in store for me could be the
hardest part of all. Luckily I've had great support from my sponsors and
people that are behind me, and plans are starting to come together for
next year. I'm looking to get back out in the AMA Pro Vance & Hines
Harley-Davidson series again, running an effort under KWR for a third
straight season. It's been rewarding being a team owner, most notably
from 2012 when we won the overall Harley-Davidson series championship
with my teammate, Michael Barnes. I have so many great memories from
that season, but my goal for 2014 is to go get that championship again,
this time as a rider.
I feel that the culmination of the past three seasons since 2011 have
brought me to this point, and not by accident. On paper it may not look
overwhelmingly stellar, but I have become a stronger rider and
businessperson as a result. From branching out on my own for an XR1200
effort in 2011 to putting together a Daytona Sportbike effort in 2013
with Triumph, every weekend of every year has brought new challenges for
me. This coming season will be my next test, and I look forward to
sharing my thoughts with everyone, every step of the way.

City council purchase of Rickergate homes fuels rumours of area revamp
Last updated at 15:51, Friday, 24 February 2012
Carlisle City Council has bought two more properties in Warwick Street, Rickergate, for £320,000.
But council leader Mike Mitchelson has denied claims from Save Our Streets campaigners that it has secret plans to redevelop the area.
Rickergate was identified for wholesale redevelopment under the Carlisle Renaissance initiative.
The plans involved demolition of homes, the police and fire stations, magistrates court and the Civic Centre to make way for a plaza with shops, offices, apartments and a hotel and conference centre.
The council began buying property in 2008, acquiring Adriano's Restaurant for £775,000 and 8 Warwick Street for £125,000 in readiness for the bulldozers to move in.
However, the scheme was shelved in the face of vociferous opposition from the Save Our Street residents' group. Now the council has bought 4 Warwick Street for £120,000 and surplus county council offices for £200,000, fuelling rumours that it is about to revive the scheme.
But Conservative Mr Mitchelson said: "This is part of our asset review for strategic property purchases.
"There is no hidden scheme to redevelop Rickergate but we want to be in a position in the future to take advantage of any opportunities that may arise.
"If we don't buy property when it becomes available then anything that happens would be out of our control.
"We want to assemble a site so that anything that happens is under our control rather than a private developer.
"I can assure the residents that there is no scheme on the blocks."
He added that the council was interested in making more purchases if property becomes available.
It is expected that Cumbria County Council will dispose of the fire station in Warwick Street once the city's new fire station in Eastern Way is operational.
Mr Mitchelson's comments have done nothing to pacify Save Our Streets.
The group used Freedom of Information legislation to obtain a council report on Rickergate only to find that whole pages, including a map, had been blacked out for "reasons of commercial confidentiality".
Spokeswoman Julie Templeton said: "We find it difficult to believe that they're not working to some plan.
"We have heard that the Carlisle Economic Partnership is meeting regularly but there are no minutes published. We find it very strange.
"The council makes much of community involvement but we are not being told the truth.
"Why would they spend money buying up private houses if there's no real set plan for developing the area?"
She added: "We've seen people walking around taking photographs as if they are surveying the area and when we ask what they're doing they just walk away. They look like developers."

Only Natural Pet Peanut Butter & Honey Lawn Protect Biscuits are a great way to fight unsightly urine burn spots in your lawn while at the same time giving your dog a delicious treat!
New & Improved Formula
Only Natural Pet Peanut Butter & Honey Biscuits Lawn Protect Biscuits are a natural, healthy treat with a flavor your dog will love! Specially formulated to aid digestion, these biscuits decrease the concentration of waste in your dog's urine, which helps prevent yellow spots on the lawn. Plus, these crunchy treats are packed with B-Complex vitamins and healthy botanicals. At last, a natural solution to a nagging problem.
Specially formulated by Only Natural Pet's veterinarian Dr. Jean, these new Peanut Butter & Honey Biscuits feature:
B-Complex Vitamins: B-1, B-6, and B-12 - B Vitamins play a key role in digestion and support healthy assimilation of nutrients and metabolism of digestive waste products like nitrogen. Vitamin B-1 has a mild diuretic effect, which reduces the concentration of waste excreted in urine. Vitamin B-6 is critical in protein and fat digestion, and activates many enzymes to break down and assimilate amino acids and essential fatty acids. Vitamin B-12 is important for digestion of all nutrients, in metabolism, and in enzyme activity throughout the body.
Biotin: This important co-enzyme works with the B Vitamins to improve protein digestion and assimilation, which helps maintain normal levels of metabolized waste. Biotin plays a critical role in the utilization of protein throughout the body, and is commonly given to aid any body organs or system that requires a large amount of protein (muscles, skin and coat).
Yucca Schidigera: Yucca may help decrease urea and ammonia levels in the blood and thereby reduce the concentration of these waste materials in the urine. Yucca also decreases stool odor. Compounds in the Yucca plant also bind nitrogen in urine or feces.
Available in an 8oz bag and and 8oz bag 2 pack.

With the win, the Bucs have won 10 of their last 13 games, raising their record to 24-22, 13-13 in Southern Conference games. The Citadel falls to 26-17, 15-5 in SoCon play. Much like Friday night's thrilling 10-9 victory by East Tennessee State, both teams had the lead on several occasions and had many opportunities to win. The Citadel took the early lead with a run in the top of the first. Josh Stackley was hit by a pitch with two down and moved to second on a walk by Chip Cannon. Jon Aughey then came to the plate and singled to right to drive in Stackley. Bulldog starter Ken Egleton was excellent in the early going, not allowing a hit through the first three innings. But like Friday night, the Buccaneer offense erupted in the bottom of the fourth. The Bucs put three runs on the board in the fourth to take their first lead of the ballgame. Junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) singled up the middle, followed by a single to left by Church. With one out, freshman left fielder Stephen Douglas (Kennesaw, Ga.) scored both runners with a double to left. Later in the inning, Douglas would score on a passed ball. The Citadel grabbed the lead right back with three runs in the top of the fifth. Will Coker hit a solo homer over the left field wall with one out. Matt Covington later doubled to left-center, scoring Matt Matulia, who reached on a single. After consecutive walks to Stackley and Cannon, Aughey hit an RBI single to third base that could have scored at least another run if not for a tremendous diving stop by sophomore third baseman Greg Roberts (Douglas, Ga.). ETSU then rallied for two runs in the bottom of the fifth, taking a 5-4 lead. Sophomore designated hitter Matt Traylor (Knoxville, Tenn.) walked to lead off the inning and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.). Moore came to the plate and scored Traylor with an RBI double down the right field line. Senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) followed with a double to left, scoring Moore from second. The Citadel tied the game with a run in the top of the sixth, but he Bucs took the advantage right back with a run in the bottom of the frame. Covington drove in Matulia with an RBI triple for the Bulldogs and ETSU senior center fielder Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) scored sophomore second baseman Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.) with a ground ball. With two runs in the top of the seventh, the Bulldogs went ahead again, taking a 7-6 lead. Stackley and Cannon led off the inning with back-to-back singles. Andy Phillips singled up the middle with one out to bring home Stackley while Cannon would later score on a wild pitch. The Bulldog lead held up until the bottom of the ninth when Moore led off the inning against Cannon, who took the mound in the ninth. Moore crushed a 1-0 pitch, hitting his seventh homer of the season over the left field wall to tie the game at seven. That is the way the game would stay until the bottom of the 13th, due to solid relief efforts by Cannon and Moore, who came on to pitch in the 10th. Byrne led off the bottom of the 13th with a single, followed by a single up the middle by Moore. Church then stepped to the plate and hit the first pitch he saw over the wall down the left field line for his sixth homer of the season. Moore earned his second win of the year (2-0) after allowing no runs on two hits over the final four innings of play. He also struck out three while walking one. Cannon was charged with the loss (3-2), allowing four runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out one. Moore also led the Bucs at the plate, going 4-for-6 and scoring four runs while driving in two others. Church also went 4-for-6 with three RBIs and two runs scored. "I do not know if you can ask any more of a player than Caleb Moore gave us today," said ETSU head coach Tony Skole following the game. The Citadel was led by Coker and Aughey who each had three hits on the afternoon. Aughey and Covington drove in two runs while Stackley and Matulia both scored two runs. "This was a great baseball game today," commented Skole. "It reminds me of a heavyweight boxing match, with both teams exchanging blows." East Tennessee State will be going for the sweep Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. as the Bucs and Bulldogs play the final game of their three-game series at Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn.

Carl Zeiss Distagon T 25mm f/2 ZE & Carl Zeiss Distagon T 25mm f/2 ZF.2 review: A high quality wide-angle prime for Canon and Nikon
For shooting high quality landscape, architectural or interior photos, a "fast" wide-angle prime is a must. They offer significantly improved optical performance over many zooms that, while versatile, often suffer distortion and edge softness at wide focal lengths and maximum apertures. Let's take a closer look at the Carl Zeiss 25mm f/2 wide-angle prime for Nikon and Canon lens mounts to see what it has to offer.

Freedom Flix
Free to Design: Florida Entrepreneurs Take On the Interior Design Cartel
Florida is ground zero in the nationwide battle to cartelize the interior design industry. A small group of well-funded industry insiders led by the American Society of Interior Designers has been relentless in its pursuit of ever more restrictive laws. Studies have shown that interior design regulations result in higher prices, less variety, and fewer employment opportunities, especially for minorities and older mid-career switchers. On May 26, 2009, the Institute for Justice joined with three interior designers?Eva Locke, Pat Levenson and Barbara Gardner?and the National Federation of Independent Business to file a lawsuit in federal court in Tallahassee challenging Floridas interior design law. The Institute for Justice is the nations leading legal advocacy group for economic liberty?the right to earn an honest living free from excessive and arbitrary regulation. IJ has successfully challenged anti-competitive interior design laws across the country. Floridas suit promises to be the biggest fight yet in the battle against the interior design cartel, and may finally put an end to restrictive interior design laws nationwide.Read more

President Obama's second Inaugural Address left no doubt about his desire to put climate change front and center in his second term. He's likely to pursue his agenda through executive actions rather than legislation, at least initially.
That could put the Environmental Protection Agency at the center of a political battle, as Senate Republicans use the process of confirming a new head of the agency as a chance to weigh in on or even block what they see as regulatory overreach by the administration in pursuit of climate-change goals.
Republicans have bristled in the last four years at regulations coming out of Obama's EPA—Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota wanted to shut the agency altogether. Administrator Lisa Jackson was a particular target, criticized for her implementation of Clean Air Act regulations and, more recently, for conducting official business using an email alias.
As Obama's second term begins, EPA might become an even bigger target as Republicans brace for the likelihood that Obama will use the agency's powers to pursue his climate agenda. Environmental groups have urged the administration to use EPA's authority under the Clean Air Act to limit the carbon emissions that power plants are allowed to produce and to implement stricter standards on leaks of methane, a greenhouse gas, both of which can be achieved without any further congressional approval.
Brian Deese, deputy director of the White House National Economic Council, reiterated on Thursday the administration's intent to pursue such an approach to energy policymaking. "[We will] continue to look for tools, administrative actions that we can take that don't require Congress and in many cases don't require federal dollars," Deese said at an event hosted by National Journal and The Atlantic, citing regulatory authority as one such tool.
Although EPA is the prime symbol of the Obama administration's climate-change agenda, other departments will also play a role—departments that are expected to face confirmation fights in the coming months. The Energy Department, for example, can adopt new efficiency standards for home appliances. The State Department will rule on a permit for part of the Keystone XL pipeline that would cross into Canada. Each of those departments is likely to face or is already in the process of confirming a new director. The nominee for secretary of State, Sen. John Kerry, raised the issue of climate change as an international threat during his confirmation hearing on Thursday; the nominee for Energy secretary is also likely to be questioned on his or her views on pursuing the president's climate agenda.
At EPA, Jackson announced she was stepping down last month, and the administration has yet to nominate a replacement. Among the leading candidates are former Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, Deputy Administrator Bob Perciasepe, and Mary Nichols, chairwoman of the California Air Resources Board.
Congress isn't expected to take up climate legislation any time soon. It will be preoccupied in coming months by a series of looming budget fights, gun-control legislation, and immigration reform. A sweeping cap-and-trade bill that Obama had pushed in his first term never made it through Congress. This time, Senate Democrats have indicated they are ready to let the EPA run the show.
So get ready for a show.
Melinda Pierce, deputy director for national campaigns at the Sierra Club, said the hearing to replace Jackson at EPA might be "doubly contentious" if the agency is perceived as a key stakeholder in moving Obama's climate agenda forward.

Wedding Budgeting 101April 14th, 2011
Budgeting is hard enough. Now try to budget a wedding with 175 guests and an open bar, HA…that's funny. But the truth is that it is realistic and do-able. You just need to know where you're starting from and establish what you can afford. Before you even book anything, sit down and talk with your fiancée about the financial preparation for the wedding.

Test ID: ZNCRU
Zinc/Creatinine Ratio, Random, Urine
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Identifying the cause of abnormal serum zinc concentrations
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Zinc is an essential element; it is a critical cofactor for carbonic anhydrase, alkaline phosphatase, RNA and DNA polymerases, alcohol dehydrogenase, and many other physiologically important proteins. Zinc also is a key element required for active wound healing.
Zinc depletion occurs either because it is not absorbed from the diet or it is lost after absorption. Dietary deficiency may be due to absence (parenteral nutrition) or because the zinc in the diet is bound to fiber and not available for absorption. Once absorbed, the most common route of loss is via exudates from open wounds such as third-degree burns or gastrointestinal loss as in colitis. Hepatic cirrhosis also causes excess loss of zinc by enhancing renal excretion. The peptidase, kinase, and phosphorylase enzymes are most sensitive to zinc depletion.
Zinc excess is not of major clinical concern. The popular American habit of taking mega-vitamins (containing huge doses of zinc) produces no direct toxicity problems. Much of this zinc passes through the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted in the feces. The excess fraction that is absorbed is excreted in the urine. The only known effect of excessive zinc ingestion relates to the fact that zinc interferes with copper absorption, which can lead to hypocupremia.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
300-600 mcg/g Creatinine
Reference values apply to all ages.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Fecal excretion of zinc is the dominant route of elimination. Renal excretion is a minor, secondary elimination pathway. Normal daily excretion of zinc in the urine is in the range of 300 to 600 mcg/g creatinine.
High urine zinc associated with low serum zinc may be caused by hepatic cirrhosis, neoplastic disease, or increased catabolism.
High urine zinc with normal or elevated serum zinc indicates a large dietary source, usually in the form of high-dose vitamins.
Low urine zinc with low serum zinc may be caused by dietary deficiency or loss through exudation common in burn patients and those with gastrointestinal losses.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
High concentrations of barium are known to interfere with this test. If barium-containing contrast media has been administered, a specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

In 2012, low- and moderate-income Allen County residents claimed more than $3 million in tax refunds thanks to the Free Tax Preparation Program coordinated by United Way of Allen County and the Volunteer Center RSVP. That was a 22 percent increase over the previous year's $2.5 million. A total of 2,029 area residents received free tax assistance provided by dozens of IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers.
United Way of Allen County and Volunteer Center RSVP are hoping to increase these numbers again. Any family or individual earning less than $57,000 annually qualifies for the Free Tax Preparation program organized by members of the Financial Stability Partnership. IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers help residents file their taxes and claim available credits, including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Credits may help families get as much as a $5,000 refund.
The Free Tax Preparation program saves residents fees for tax preparation and e-filing as well (approximately one-third of participants paid to have their taxes done in prior years). It also ensured that individuals had access to high-quality tax services. This program is carried out by volunteers who give more than 3,500 hours of service. Volunteer tax preparers are highly trained, certified and consistently ranked among the most accurate and reliable in the nation.
Since the program's inception, refunds returned to local residents have more than doubled from $1.3 million, to last year's highest ever claims of more than $3 million. As much as $6 million in tax credits go unclaimed in Allen County annually. Each year, the number of returns filed and people applying for tax credits goes up, thanks to the local Free Tax Preparation effort.
To learn more about the Free Tax Preparation program, residents can pick up a flyer at CANI (Community Action of Northeast Indiana), United Way, Volunteer Center RSVP or many other social-service organizations. A flyer can also be downloaded from www.UnitedWayAllenCounty.org/initiatives. Or, residents may dial 2-1-1 and ask for information from a trained phone counselor.

World-renowned Franklin, Tenn. rockers Paramore
will celebrate Record Store Day with a free acoustic concert at Grimey's New & Preloved Music on April 20.
The band is releasing an exclusive 7-inch vinyl record for the occasion - only 700 copies total will be pressed, and 300 will be available at Grimey's. The performance starts at 1 p.m., followed by a signing.
Paramore released a new self-titled album on Tuesday- their first in four years, and potentially their first chart-topper, according to Billboard.
To aid in that mission, the now-trio returned to "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Thursday to perform album cuts "Still Into You" and "Now."
In an odd coincidence, another Nashville non-country star - dance/pop hitmaker Ke$ha - also appeared on last night's episode to promote her new MTV reality series.

- "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."
--Coco Chanel
My inspiration for this project has been from images of fashion. I quoted Coco Chanel for inspiration as well. Coco Chanel is well-known for inspiring practical wear for women and she was a great influence on haute couture. Coco also popularized the "little black dress." Coco was probably most remembered for her Chanel No. 5 perfume, which was and still is a popular perfume for women today. Her style was about simplicity and comfort and she told Harper's Bazaar in 1923 that "simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance."
From Coco Chanel, I can indentify and understand how fashion is something we all see around us. This is the other reason why Claude Monet paintings are another influence for my project. He was one of the creators of Impressionism. He is best known for his mastery of landscape painting. He is also known for his paintings of his garden at Givenchy, and for never wavering from his ideals of the Impressionist movement.
As a student and lover of fashion, I find myself inspired everyday. As I walk down the streets of Manhattan, I observe and digest the beauty that surrounds us. I can see why Yves St. Laurent was quoted, "Fashion fades, style is eternal." From a blog I read online, this blogger talked about how fashion also inspired them and how they develop their sense of fashion. "Having a good sense of fashion is sometimes just natural to some people who maybe are arty or just simply because they have a certain touch in being able to put together outfits that look up to date, trendy and chic, but others have to learn it the hard way and as they say practice makes perfect and so you should get the hang of it in the end." I love the fact there is no wrong answer and that the people feel so easily free to be inspired.
Overall, this project has given me some inspiration to be more creative since this will be a given legacy as a senior to leave behind something of myself for other students in LIM College. As a makeup artist for over eight years, I love the idea of being creative and using color in my craft as an artist.

My inspiration for creating clothing to put in the LIM bookstore is Las Vegas. I draw inspiration from the bright city lights and the natural pop art feel of Las Vegas. The LIM signature purple and red can be found in the night lights and on the showgirl's elaborate outfits. These aspects along with the entertainment and glamour of this city bring so much inspiration for clothing. I was able to use many of the brightly lit colors as accents for the clothing. I feel that my inspiration can bring a fun, unexpected aspect that is missing from the clothes that are currently being offered in the bookstore.
For the end products, I envision a zip-up, a t-shirt, and pajama pants. The zip-up is what I plan to use the print pattern on. Using the Las Vegas inspired pop art, I did a pattern with welcome to Las Vegas signs. The signs are slightly distorted and a bit blurry. On the back of the zip-up is where I envision the LIM logo to be. This will be a fun, fresh take on the typical bookstore apparel. The zip-up will be made of 100% organic cotton sweatshirt fleece so students will feel warm and comfortable on chilly winter days in New York City. The plaid print will be printed on 100% Egyptian cotton and will be made into pajama pants. Pajama pants are a standard piece amongst most students' sleepwear. I feel that plaid pajama pants with the LIM logo along the side would be a big seller for the school store.
Lastly, the striped print will be printed on a 100% lightweight cotton woven t-shirt. Students wear t-shirts daily and are always looking to purchase new ones. The shirt will be printed with thin stripes that alternate between the red, deep purple, and light purple. I decided to make the shirt with a subtle thin stripe in the LIM colors because I feel that way it will appeal to more people.
It is my hope that these pieces will be popular amongst students. Each piece represents LIM in a subtle way with its signature colors in the patterns. Although the colors are present, they don't overpower the clothes which is something I feel will contribute to its success. The pajama pants and t-shirt are typical pieces that one would find in a school store, but by adding the fun print to the zip-up, students may be more curious to venture inside and take another look around.

For the contest I drew most of my inspiration for the psychedelic era and hippies. The reason why I drew my inspiration from this era was because of the bright colors that people of that era used. I also used this era because in my opinion the psychedelic era was symbolic for peace and unity. Part of LIM College's ambition is to create a dynamic student body that promotes personal and academic growth in a steady social environment. In my opinion, LIM College is trying to achieve unity between everyone that is a part of the LIM body. The psychedelic era was filled with bright colors like the LIM College colors and patterns like flowers and tie-dye.
The product that I have decided to manufacture for the LIM College bookstore is a fashionable tote with a laptop compartment. That could be very useful and practical not only for students but for the entire LIM College body. Most student and faculty carry their laptops to school on a regular basis. I carry my laptop with me every day to school and I love the LIM College tote bags that were given to all students at the beginning of school year but there is one major problem with the totes. The problem is there is a lack of compartments and that causes a lack of organization when using the LIM tote.
I strongly believe that students at LIM College would highly appreciate a bag that is fashionable, practical, durable and a bag that will provide enough space and compartments to properly organize school work and supplies.
For the laptop bag I would use chose a medium weight duck cotton for the exterior. The reason why I chose duck is because it is inexpensive and can easily be dyed. Duck is a material that is very durable and long lasting. Since duck is a sturdy material it would be good for the exterior of the bag. For the interior of the bag, I would like there to be lightweight cotton, like regular twill weave cotton.
The exterior of the bag would be one of LIM solid colors either red or one of the purple colors. I would like to see the LIM logo embellished on the tote. The embellishment would start midway through the side front of the bad and end in the side back with the M of the logo. The interior of the bag would be one of the patterns I designed. If the exterior of the bag is a solid color, it would be a lot easier to match with different outfits and both male and female could carry the bag.

To be inspired by someone or something is one of the most important things in life to experience. This inspiration must express how you feel and also be appealing to not only you, but others as well. My inspiration for creating this stripe, while using the LIM colors, has a gothic twist. I was initially inspired by "Tim Burton's Magical Fashion" spread in the October 2009 issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine. This spread showed high fashion clothing through the eyes of movie director, Tim Burton displaying his love for the gothic world. This spread inspired me to want to create a Spring/Summer collection based on the color palette of black and shades of gray with accent colors being different shades purples and reds.
The LIM colors are purple, red and lavender, in general terms, and those three colors play a strong role in my stripe pattern. My gothic inspiration has somewhat come from my own sense of style. The punk rock, grunge fashion has recently become my personal fashion inspiration. This grungy, un-put together look has become prominent in celebrity fashion and I feel that is where the students at LIM are pulling their own style inspiration.
Stripe 5 - Shanel Kenney
The inspiration for my textiles came from New York City graffiti art images. The vibrant colors of the art inspired my accent color choices and my designs. Graffiti is not a very traditional art form, it's something out of the box. The unorthodox things in the world are the things that inspire me the most. Anyone can throw some paint on a canvas and call it art. The places you see the graffiti done, and the meticulousness of it simply amazes me. Although to some it is seen as destructive to me it is inspired. I used parts of the graffiti to create all over patterns, and for my accent colors in my plaids and stripes. I used the LIM colors as the main colors, and pulled other vibrant, complimentary colors, from the graffiti art to make the textile prints pop and be more interesting.
I envision my patterns being used on products such as draw string pajama pants, pencil holders, or lounge shorts. I personally live in pajama pants and lounge shorts when I am home, or lounging around my dorm. So, finding ones with fun prints and colors always excites me. I would use fabrics such as jersey knit for the lounge shorts and pajama pants, and canvas for the pencil cases. I would mostly use the stripes and all over prints for the pencil cases, and plaids for the pajama pants and lounge shorts.

I will be creating cotton bralette, cotton underwear and a cotton sleep dress. The sleep dress will be loose fitting and have thin straps with lace trim. The colors will be opaque and soft but still using the requested colors. The stripe and plaid will be very thin. There will also be a lace trim detail on all of the pieces. The look of the pieces are romantic, soft and of course comfortable.
The fabric will be stretch cotton; the lace used will also be cotton. The inspiration for these products comes from my interest in romantic soft colors and details. I also believe that these products will sell well in our school because it is something students will actually buy. The bookstore currently does not have these products and it is something that students will wear everyday under their clothes or to sleep at night. The sleep dress can also be used as a beach cover up in the summer time.
Plaid 2 - Rei Ito
My inspiration was derived while walking to school on Fifth Avenue. Although it was only the beginning of February, many stores were already advertising for their spring collection. One common factor that came across the luxurious stores and the affordable stores on Fifth Avenue was that they incorporated various shades of blue in their window display: sky blue, true navy, indigo blue, and blue-violet. The color blue brought back memories of the clear, deep blue ocean of Hawaii and essentially, came up with the theme of "marine beach." LIM College's school colors also add a lively essence with the cheerful red and the powerful violet-blue. Marine theme fits the characteristics of students at LIM College because many of the students enjoy traveling to destinations near a beach or an ocean during their holiday breaks. The merchandise designed can be worn during their travel and as student's routine wardrobe here at school.
The end use for the textile will include t-shirts, an eco-friendly bag, and a beach towel. T-shirts are an essential garment that can suit any type of body. It is also preferred clothing by many people because of its comfort and the flexibility to match with any outfit. The marine t-shirt will be designed slightly larger than the normal scale so that it can be worn over swim-suits to give off an edgy appearance on the beach. It can also be matched with denim jeans to create a casual look. Nowadays eco-friendly bags are a crucial must-have item. During a holiday break, students can utilize it as a beach bag and when they are back at school, they can carry their textbooks. The bag will also be practical for grocery shopping and will save plastic bags as well. When students go to a resort destination, beach towels are a necessity. A marine beach towel will convey a vibrant look and will be sure to stand out from the crowd. The towels can also be used at home and at LIM dormitory.
Since the theme for the look is "marine beach," which the term is affiliated with the sea and nature, utilizing organic cotton for fabric would best suit the inspiration. Unlike regular cotton, organic cotton is grown by using materials that reduce the environmental impact. It does not use any herbicides or pesticides that are toxic and relies on the balance between beneficial insects and healthy soil. The production of organic cotton is steadily growing and one-fourth of the manufacturing was done in the United States in 2009. The end use of organic cotton however, does not differ from ordinary cotton and can be used for almost any product including t-shirts, towels, and bags.
Cotton becomes stronger when wet, which is great for laundering at home. This is a crucial benefit for students when they are trying to make their clothes last for a long period of time. The t-shirts would be knits because knits can provide elasticity. The stretches found in knits are natural and the knitted loops provide comfort and ease. By using a knitted fabric, the garment will stretch and will be able to fit broad body types. The bags and the towels will be woven for the opposite reason of knits: they do not expand and will be able to carry heavy items without stretching the fabric. Cotton fabrics are hydrophilic, meaning that they absorb water quickly and are able to dry quickly. This is an important factor for the beach towel. Cotton has good strength which is an essential point for the bags. The more strength a fabric has, the sturdier and durable the product becomes as a result.
Organic cotton well represents the inspiration for this contest and carries the suitable characteristics needed for the end merchandise.
Plaid 3 - Kristin Lotano
I was very inspired by all things Paris. I recently saw a documentary on Paris and was instantly amazed. The bright lights of the Eiffel Tower give off a magical image and the architecture gives off a broken feel. Parisian couture is instantly associated with the city. Some of the best designers and couturiers come out of Paris. I was inspired by their attention to fine detail and the immaculate work that is reflected in every design. I have never been to Paris but it is on my list of places to go. By using it as my inspiration I am hoping to learn more fascinating facts about it. I want the clothing to reflect the silhouettes and street chic, sophisticated feel of a Parisian woman. I am also inspired by the famous Avenue Montaigne which is Paris's Rodeo Drive. The reason I really choose Paris as an influence is because they are always ahead of the trend so why not have the LIM merchandise ahead of the trend as well?
The types of styles I envision for the end products being sold at the bookstore include a legging, an off the shoulder t-shirt, shorts, and a lounge pant. The legging is something that LIM doesn't currently offer so I really want that to be the stand out piece. The legging will come in a shorter style and a longer style that falls at the ankle. The LIM logo will be featured on the upper left hand corner in smaller writing with rhinestones being used to add a little sparkle to the logo. For the off shoulder shirt I want it to be light and airy. It will feature the LIM logo on the back of the shirt and the front will be plain. The shorts and lounge pant will go together as a set meaning they will be identical in color and the placement of the logo. I want the short and pant to be not as heavy as the current styles available at the store.

Romanticism. The word alone leaves us to think of love and a blissful lifestyle with the one person who you care for the most. When I think of Romanticism I think of rich and luxurious colors wrapped around couture silhouettes. I believe the idea of romanticism is very powerful and changed the way people saw life and especially fashion. It was a much more daring time for people. Clothing became unique and a more drastic part to people's everyday choices. This was one of the main reasons I chose this inspiration. I wanted to create unique products and patterns that no other college or fashion school would have.
When creating my plaid pattern, I wanted to create something different and unique, just like the movement of Romanticism. I also wanted to incorporate accent colors that coordinated well with my theme of Romanticism as well as LIM College's colors. I used the LIM College colors which are purple, lavender and red, and also added accents such as beige, pink, and brown to create a bold plaid. The accent colors are neutral and blend very nicely with the bright school colors. Their contrast with one another creates a great look for representation in school products as well as a great pattern for an everyday look for any fashionista.
Plaid 5 - Chevelley Vidal
Being a current fashion student at LIM and working in the fashion industry among other students you learn that fashion is about expressing who we are and how we appear. This plaid is something that is fashionable, unique and shows the expression of who you are. I have learned this is the art in fashion: expressing yourself through what you wear. It's not only what you see at the store but how you visualize it and personalize it to yourself. The store sells you the fabric and the trend, but you are the one that presents it to the world.
That was my inspiration in the creation of this plaid. To show that you can personalize textiles or plaids you are using and make it into something unique and express it to the world in a different light.
Pattern 1 - Ariel Johnson
I was inspired by the season of spring. When I think of spring, I think of bright colors in polka dot and stripe patterns. The vivid patterns, exhilarated color schemes and fresh spring air all bring together the happiness of the season that brings the summer heat. Polka dots inspire me to wear playful patterns, mix and match colors, and refresh the winter wardrobe by all means.
Pattern 2 - Nicole Clonan
I wanted to create a pattern that was feminine yet edgy. Feminine and edgy describes my own personal style so I wanted to incorporate something similar to my repeating pattern using the LIM College colors. The pattern almost appears 3-D as I made the curves various colors with the black outline which creates that 3-D look.
One of my favorite brands is BDG sold at Urban Outfitters. I love all their dresses, skirts and blouses, and own many of their pieces. I feel this pattern can directly correspond right into the BDG line. When I look at the pattern I can see it becoming a wrap dress, a skirt, or a pattern on the sleeves of a blouse. I think its bright, bold colors will make for an excellent pattern on any garment. It represents the LIM Community with the funky unique pattern representing the college in its assigned colors.
Pattern 3 - Lauren Trembulak
1970's patterns are unforgettable and recognizable to everyone, even those of us who weren't alive to witness the iconic era. The decade's outrageous use of color and quirkiness are qualities that LIM students incorporate into their own style every day, making the 1970's a perfect inspiration for LIM merchandise.
While the LIM College student loves quirky and unique styles, they are very selective in choosing pieces to add to their fabulous wardrobes. This is why I think sleepwear would be the ideal type of merchandise to cater to the needs of students at LIM College. Everyone loves fun, comfortable pajamas, whether you're a twelve year old child, a middle-aged woman, or a young fashion student; they appeal to all.
I created 1970's inspired stripes, plaids, and patterns to be used for items such as pajama pants, t-shirts, slippers, blankets, and sleeping masks. The pajama pants will be constructed of 100% cotton flannel and the matching T-Shirt will be made of cotton jersey. The slippers and blanket will be made from 100% cotton chenille, and the sleeping mask will use 3 layers of cotton jersey for optimal light blocking.
Most schools sell sweatpants, sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, etc., but no sleepwear. When LIM includes this line of merchandise into their store, it will add to their uniqueness and contribute to what makes this school so innovative and special.
Pattern 4 - Andrea Rapucciuolo
The summer is right around the corner and when you think about going to the beach with friends you can not forget that beach towel to lie on. When thinking of inspiration of what to use for this beach towel, I thought of being at the beach. The beach was my main inspiration for this beach towel. I used the colors of the water and sunset to make my stripes and plaids.
The product I would like to create is an LIM College beach towel. Why not have your very own LIM College beach towels? The patterns and stripes I used in my inspiration I thought would make a great beach towel with the LIM logo going across it. The colors I used beside the LIM colors are bright and great for the summer.
The cotton fabric that will be used to make the towels would be made from the fabric terry cloth which is a woven. The loops are drawn up above the ground cloth and locked into place with the subsequent one or two picks in the ground cloth. Also another type of fabric that can be used to design this towel is also velour which can be more absorbent than the average bath towels. The towel size is about 30"x60"and hopefully my fellow students will love to have their LIM College beach towel every time they go to the beach this summer.

When someone says "Trading x for a craftable hat" (generally comes in the form of "Trading one refined per craftable hat), what exactly is it that they mean?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Arqade is a question and answer site for passionate videogamers on all platforms. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The term refers to any hat that can and will be used in the Rebuild Headgear crafting recipe (combine any 2 hats for a random hat).
If the description of a hat says (Not Usable in Crafting), then that hat is uncraftable, and generally sells for less as it can't be used in creating another hat.
