Doom Keyboard Spinner v0.50Beta
Phil Pattengale & Gary Gesmundo
DMS is a tiny TSR (1.3K bytes resident) that intercepts Doom's calls to the mouse driver. By clicking the mouse buttons that you define, it will instantly turn you 180 degrees -- facing the exact opposite direction. Cranking up your mouse driver sensitivity can allow you to do the same, but then your accuracy may fall off. With this you don't have to make that compromise.

=========================================================================== Newest Title : Doom Keyboard Spinner v0.50Beta FileName : DKS050.com 07/31/95 Modified by: : Phil Pattengale & Gary Gesmundo Email Address: : email@example.com How to Use this? : Copy to your Doom2 directory and run it.
Release Notes DKS v0.50 : Works with DOOM2 (tested) : Doesn't work with Ultimate Doom or Heretic v1.2 Don't know why - haven't investigated yet. Should work with original doom - but can't test it. : Doesn't work with Sirdoom. Don't know about Dwango or ACPI. Sorry. : Modifications to remove mouse functionality. Mouse.sys and KEYBOARD+MOUSE still required to perform the actual flip itself. These mods appear to significantly reduce the "sticky key" problem that plagued DMS v0.15 Future plans for DKS : -U Unload tsr option : if possible, mouse calls determine number of "mickeys" based upon mouse driver resolution, rather than the fixed value being used now. Construction : Masm 6.11 : exe2com 1.04 by Chris Dunford/The Cove Software Group =========================================================================== New Title : DOOM Mouse Spinner v0.15 with KEYBOARD Support, : AND toggle key to disable mouse forward/backward movement! Filename : DMS015.com Modified by : Lincoln Yeoh Email Address : firstname.lastname@example.com =========================================================================== Title : Doom Mouse Spinner (DMS) v0.12 beta Filename : DMS.COM Authors : Tom Klok and Dave 'Zoid' Kirsch Email Address : firstname.lastname@example.com Description : Ever had the problem of a monster or deathmatch opponent sneaking up behind you? Ever needed to turn around *now*? With DMS, you can rotate your player 180 degrees with a click of the mouse! Release note : This is a *BETA* release. DMS has been tested with Logitech 3-button and Microsoft 2-button mice. It should work with others without problems. I don't know what it would do with a CyberMan. Release note for DMS v0.13 : Modified by Lincoln Yeoh so you can use a user definable key on the keyboard to flip! And added -n for people who don't want to use the mouse buttons to flip. Seems to work. If it doesn't. Tough! Go fix it. DMS v0.15 : More modification so you can use a definable key to disable/enable mouse y-movement. Shortcomings - my code is ugly. Does not clear left over keypresses after getting key when installing. Construction : TASM 3.1, TLINK 5.1 ================================================================ What it is ~~~~~~~~~~ DMS is a tiny TSR (1.3K bytes resident) that intercepts Doom's calls to the mouse driver. By clicking the mouse buttons that you define, it will instantly turn you 180 degrees -- facing the exact opposite direction. Cranking up your mouse driver sensitivity can allow you to do the same, but then your accuracy may fall off. With this you don't have to make that compromise. It supports mouse "chords". For example, if you have a 2-button mouse you can set it up to spin you only when you press the left and right mouse button at the same time. 3-button mice permit even more combinations. I prefer the Middle+Right button chord on my Logitech. LY> I prefer to flip with the keyboard, and leave the mouse buttons for other stuff. That explains this patch :-). This makes it easier to run forward, flip, run backward facing opponent, aim, fire, flip back again to see where you're going. Also convenient if you back into a door- flip, press spacebar.. Also seems like some people had problems staying on top of platforms (tsk tsk), so I decided to add this for them. Does it work for Deathmatch? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sure, why not? It shouldn't cause consistency failure. Some might consider it cheating, though. LY> I think adding the keyboard support makes it a bit more fair now... Mouse AND Keyboard is still better! It'll only be cheating if I manage to add another feature. How it works ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doom uses two standard Mouse API services: function AX=0003h - mouse button status function AX=000Bh - mouse delta mickey counts A 'mickey' is the smallest unit of mouse movement... sort of like a pixel on the screen. Every time Doom requests the new delta mickey counts, the mouse driver returns the number of mickeys (X and Y, positive and negative) the mouse has moved since the last request. DMS hooks interrupt 33h, the mouse driver interrupt, and watches for those two function requests. Whenever Doom asks for the latest button status, DMS passes the request on to the mouse driver and then checks to see if the special button(s) have been pressed. If they have, it masks them out (tells Doom they never happened) and adds 180 degrees to the X-axis mickeys the next time Doom asks for them. DMS 0.13 does that too, and also checks the keyboard- in al,060h DMS was written in assembly language for small size. Source code is included. How to install it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Put DMS015.COM in your Doom directory, or some other directory in your DOS path. Simply type 'DMS015' to load it. Be sure you load it AFTER your mouse driver, not before, or it won't work. <-- Important! 'dms015 -?' or 'dms015 -h' will display some simple usage help. To configure your own button preferences, run DMS with a parameter indicating which buttons you want. The default is the right mouse button. For example, if you prefer the Left+Right buttons to spin you, enter 'dms015 -lr'. I use 'dms015 -n' for none - no spin using mouse buttons. You can change your button definitions by running DMS again. It will detect that it is already loaded and just update the buttons. Same goes for the keyboard. However the message is wrong - default means previous key setting not those stated in the message. DMS may be loaded into conventional memory, or high memory (UMB's). There really isn't any point in loading it high, however, as Doom doesn't need much conventional memory and DMS only consumes 512 bytes resident. IMPORTANT!!!!!! Make sure you maximize the mouse sensitivity setting in Doom. Anything less than full sensitivity will mean you'll turn less than 180 degrees. ENSURE that you have set your controller type to Keyboard and Mouse in your DOOM config setup. Even if you are just using the keyboard you need the mouse driver and mouse enabled under DOOM for it to work! It should work with controller type set to just plain Mouse... But that's a weird thing to do! How to uninstall it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DMS doesn't include software to release itself. Sorry. Go download the MARK/RELEASE tools, or just reboot after you're done. [NOTE: I will hopefully adding this feature to a later release of DKS - pcp] Legal stuff ~~~~~~~~~~~ DMS is Copyright (c) 1994 Tom Klok and Dave Kirsch. Permission is granted to distribute it via any media (Internet, BBS, CDROM, etc) as long as full attributions are maintained and the source code is included.

If you are a CDROM producer and include this package with your distribution, we expect a free copy of your disk as compensation. Write to Tom Klok at email@example.com to notify us and get a shipping address. -- tk 12Aug94Th I did try to email Tom and Dave a copy, but their email addresses don't seem to work anymore. Anyone know their email addresses? Thanks to you two anyway. Nice code - finally some PC code that even I can decipher! Thinking of adding auxiliary keys/button for forward and backwards. Nah, DOOM isn't a flight simulator!! :-). Tried that with DMS014. Doesn't work well sometimes the keys are lost - lose key up events.. So forget that one. Typing DMS015 by itself doesn't seem to select right button by default. Can't be bothered to fix that! -- LY 19 June 1995 Given that Lincoln couldn't email the originals, I haven't tried. Thanks guys though! Most thanks go to Lincoln for the keyboard idea, and I did try to send him this release. In order to do this most correctly, the keyboard interupt should be hooked, rather than the mouse call. Will investigate such a piece of code in the future. Would still require Mouse.sys & KEYBOARD+MOUSE in order to flip the mickeys. The problem with sticky keys is the reason I undertook this adventure. It appears that the hook for the mouse delta mickeys call behaves oddly when it gets back to DOOM. Hooking that call and sending out the "proper" # of mickeys to initiate a 180 works, but somewhere a keyboard buffer gets stuffed or something. I removed all the mouse button functionality in order to try and minimize or eliminate the problem. As a result, the code is MUCH smaller, and it appears that the sticky key problem still exists, but occurs less frequently. I suspect that your keyboarding style may affect the frequency of sticky keys. I always have the shift key down, frequently in conjuction with the alt key, the up arrow, the left arrow, and the fire key. All at once. It is during frequent manuvering with heavy keyboard activity, that I will experience sticky keys. Simply tapping the "stuck" key should free it, returning control. A final note. Some have opinioned that the use of DKS(DMS) is/should be considered cheating. Their reasoning is that a flip key isn't part of id's original code. While thier point is well taken, I put forth that the mousers have such an advantage, and this simply gives a more level playing field. Trust me Mousers, this code CAN'T work miracles for the novice keyboarder
. It offers no "uncompetitive" advantage, the mouser has the ability, so should the keyboarders. This code simply fixes an id oversight. It's not like we can see in the dark with it! -- pcp 07/31/95

".....I took your flight from Jammu to Delhi and the experience was mesmerizing at every step. The captain made announcements in excellent Hindi. Normally captains speak English and they are very arrogant. This gentleman was very polite. While disembarking from aircraft I spoke with captain and congratulated him. He was very happy and responded humbly. Another good thing was that announcement was made in air craft about terminal number where our luggage will arrive. Normally when we enter in air port, there is confusion. Normally when we travel with other air lines, we do not feel/see such things. You are thinking & taking good initiatives. Please keep it up so that others can learn and follow. Best of luck . ..."
".....This was not my first flight with Indigo and Ive always been impressed with Indigo and its in-flight services. On my flight to Hyderabad I met with Poonam, an amazing hostess. Very prompt, very soft-spoken, very impressive. Everyone provides services but if someone does this with a smile on the face, you always feel good. Thanks to Indigo for such services and thanks to Poonam for taking care of our needs about 35 thousand feet above the ground level making the flight easy and good experience . ..."
".....German people are probably known for complaining a lot but we also provide positive feedback if things are working well and smoothly. Thank you very much for the quick reply to my request and helping me to book my flight ticket directly by mobile phone last Wednesday, September 1st. It was quite exhausting but your colleague in charge was patient and I am happy that I got on the flight I wanted to catch. Please forward my regards and thanks to him as well. Please continue to provide this kind of service! Thank you . ..."
".....I would like to record my appreciation for the effort made by your staff at the Pune Airport to retrieve my reading glasses which I had forgotten on the Delhi-Pune flight on 8th Aug 2010 via Bangalore. My special thanks to Ms Pooja and Ms Shweta at the Pune Airport. Keep it up! . ..."
".....I traveled by the Delhi Hyd Flt 6E 3111 today. I would like to appreciate One Ms Karishma, who was extremely sweet. She promptly came and provided me an Emergency Exit seat even though I didnt have it at the time of check in. Also she had a great smile on her face, rare to see on Indian air hostesses! Keep up the good work Indigo! . ..."
".....I had an opportunity of being attended by your in-flight attendant Ms. Inder Mohan. I suppose you MUST take all measures possible to retain such talent within your organization. She is a thorough professional attending to all the passengers with a smile and gifted with a pleasing personality, she responded to the demanding passengers needs with alacrity. Never through the journey did I see her hassled/ ruffled and with a smile she took it all. You could make out she was enjoying what she did and that is saying a lot . ..."
".....I was highly impressed with one of your Officials at Kolkata Airport on 4th September, 2010, evening, on my way to Mumbai. Unfortunately, I could not get the Gentleman's name, but he was, I believe in a senior Manager's position, who was extremely helpful and instructed his staff to help me out in arranging to packing separately some Kolkata delicacies, which was neither permitted in the hand-bag nor could be checked in, and not only that, he made sure that I had my Boarding pass and that I was safely on my return journey to Mumbai (Flight at 5.35 P.M.) It was a very pleasant experience in a distressful situation I was facing at that point of time. I sincerely wish that the world is fuller of such people, who are efficiency personified and thus set an example to everybody around. I too am a professional (legal Compliances) and have learnt a thing or two from this Gentleman. Thanks IndiGo . ..."
".....I would like to compliment the great team that you have built at Indigo and an experience which I recently had which has resulted a change from my preferred premium airline to your airline. I am a frequent traveler and as I travel at-least twice a week, priority for us is on time performance and not any other free frills being offered. We would want to have courteous staff and especially an airline which can take off and land in time so that we can maximize on our travel schedule and be in control of our meetings etc. While the reason for this change is obvious I would want to specially mention the name of Ms. Sumiti Shrivastava working as a ground staff at Kolkata Airport who really went out of the way to ensure I am able to board the flight in the last minute. She was courteous enough to understand the reason for my delayed arrival at airport and accommodated me at the last minute and still the team ensured On Time departure which is what differentiates you from other airlines. You guys have re-laid emphasis on the Urgency and Importance of On-Time performance and have become a bench mark in the industry. I wish you the best and trust your team would maintain this level of service in future as well . ..."
".....In the era of plain crashes, crash landings and off runways, frequent technical problems, I feel I am very fortunate to share my accolades to team Indigo from Mumbai to Delhi flight. I would like to appreciate "The Captain" and the team who landed the flight so smooth and sweet, as if almost no difference between in the air or on the ground. Putting in special words, Makhan Jaisa". It was one of the best landings I have ever experienced during my 12 years of flying experience. I think all other captains should learn and follow the captain . ..."
".....I am writing this e mail on behalf of my younger brother Ankur. Our Heartiest thanks and congratulations to your team members who are putting in all efforts to provide all assistance and help not only to the passengers as part of their duty but the humane touch which they have ; and all members at all levels. This amalgamation is unique indeed. Keep up the great and the holistic work. Many thanks once again from the bottom of our hearts . ..."
".....I want to express my enormous appreciation of the way IndiGo looks after its guests. I flew from Delhi to Bhubaneswar and received a lot of help with my baggage from Shikha at the check in counter. Sonam and Shirline on board the flight were extremely accommodating and helpful as well. This wasn't the first time I had a great experience with IndiGo...the first time I flew IndiGo years ago, I had a fractured foot and the crew went out of their way to help me through check-in, security check and the flight itself. My flights with IndiGo have always been super cool. I'm a confirmed IndiGo fan now...on any route that IndiGo flies, it is the only airline I'll take! :) Keep up the awesome work! . ..."
".....I would like to compliment you on the excellent services that you provide at the airport. I have a lot of trouble getting on the buses due to a muscular problem. Indigo is the only airline I have come across that provides assistance in the form of a lower step/sliding step on the bus and slanting steps to the aircraft. I have boarded the airline in Delhi and Goa and will try and choose Indigo for all my travels. Keep up the good work!!! . ..."
".....I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent customer service relations offered by your airlines. On 12th September, I was travelling from Kolkata to Delhi. One of the customer service assistants, Gourabmoy, was very helpful and courteous in helping me to the check in counter and informing me of the departure gate. I hope that this kind of service will be available to all customers . ..."
".....Thank you so much!!!! I had a lovely flight back to Kolkata. In your flight there was a wheel chair passenger, seated on 3B / 3C. I must say your crew was extremely concerned and helpful, all through the flight, starting from helping him going to the washroom to tying up the seat belts every time. She was really professional. Captain AMAN was at the door to say BYE to all the passengers, along with the cabin crew, something which we do not get to see anywhere. I must say that it was a delight and hence thought of communicating to you . ..."
".....Your team is an amazing group of people who would not hesitate to put in an extra step to help the passenger. The team works in true spirit of passenger service & I would like to express my congratulations (& thanks also) to all of them in the HYDERABAD-DELHI sector. Good Work!! Cheers! . ..."

He was extremely patient and understanding. You are to be complemented for working with such good understanding professionals who know their job . ..."
".....I would like to tell you that you are the only airline that gives the experience of flying in an airplane. You are way ahead of other airlines in terms of punctuality, cabin atmosphere and zero check in time. Your crew is truly professional. Indigo is my first choice always kudos!! . ..."
".....I would like to appreciate the excellent efforts put in by Mr. Gurmeet in resolving my problem regarding advance seat allocation. I feel its Gurmeets zest to ensure customer satisfaction helped me by resolving my problem in such a short span of time! . ..."
".....I have been traveling with Indigo for a long time now (must be more than 50 times in last years). If the timing of the flight suits me, I chose Indigo without any hesitation. Recently, I can actually say that you have not been able to keep your promise of being on time. In my last 5 flights, the flight has always reached before time! Great work people. I do enjoy the services by the crew and the efforts the whole team takes to get things bang right is really great. Keep up the good work and be very bullish on being excellent . ..."
".....This is to convey my thanks to Indigo Airlines for helping me in locating my two mobile phones which I had accidentally left behind at Delhi Airport waiting lounge (after Security check) on 20-09-10 (I was travelling to Mumbai by 6E 183) and sending them to Mumbai yesterday itself by another flight. I want to make a special mention of Mr. Mathew Thuruthyil who went beyond the call of duty to help me out, much beyond my expectations. I received no less than 4 to 5 calls from him advising me the action to be taken by me with regard to completing certain documentation formalities. He also coordinated vigorously with your Delhi office to have the cell phones released from GMR and have them dispatched to Mumbai by 6E 189. He even called me up after his duty ours to inform me that I should contact Ms Reem Menezes to collect the phones. Later, when I met Ms Reem Menezes at Mumbai Airport yesterday evening, she too was extremely courteous and helpful and took prompt action to return my BlackBerry and Nokia phones to me. I really appreciate her helpful nature! I must mention that the air hostess and one of your round staff Mr. Akash were also very helpful. Mr. Akash immediately located the mobile phones even before the flight took off (when I was in the plane) and came to assure me that the phones will be sent to Mumbai by the next Indigo flight. I must say that with this experience I will be delighted to fly Indigo as frequently as possible. Thanking you once again . ..."
".....Actually I was travelling first time with indigo. On my travel date, when I came to airport, I was not aware of the check in procedures. Suddenly one indigo staff came to me his name was Abhishek; he asked me very politely that if I was travelling with IndiGo. I said yes, then he personally took my luggage trolley with a very lovely smile, he guided me about all procedures, what to carry in hand luggage, what should be the weight of check in luggage etc. He made my first journey so easy. I really appreciate Mr. Abhishek. Keep it up . ..."
".....Your agent Mr. Virender Kumar from reservation centre has been extremely professional to say the least in carrying out his job. I had made a lot of mistakes in booking my Delhi - Vadodara reservation but he relentlessly assisted me. Hats off! Even when my call got disconnected he called me back. Wow!! That shocked me. Till date I have been slamming people on calls that when a call gets disconnected why you do not call back the customer. This is great!! . ..."
".....This morning I was flying from Kolkata to Mumbai and honestly I was very skeptical when I got to know that I am flying Indigo. This was only my 2nd experience with Indigo and my first experience was not that great. I am an old person and a bit too demanding but to my surprise I was very impressed by the kind of services rendered by youre in flight staffs. Let me take this opportunity to mention the names of Annette and lily that took great care of me and made sure that I was taken good care of. I would definitely like to fly again with you thanks to your crew members for changing my perception about your service standards . ..."

Bright Lights Hit the National Zoo
December 25, 2013 by Jeff
Filed under Solar Energy Tips
Every winter, families from across the D.C. metropolitan region visit the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Northwest to take part in ZooLights, a Pepco-sponsored festival that provides an array of fun-filled activities for families and raises awareness about the plight of endangered animals around the world.
More than 4,000 people posed for photos with Santa Claus, competed in gingerbread house building competitions, learned about innovative methods of energy conservation, danced and listened to live bands after regular daytime hours on the zoo grounds on the evening of Dec. 7.
"ZooLights is an annual D.C. tradition and we're thrilled to have our public to celebrate the season and the animals that we work to save," said Annalisa Meyer, communications manager at the National Zoo. "It gives our visitors an opportunity to visit the zoo after dark which is so special and to experience these animals in a whole new light."

Thousands turned out for the annual ZooLights festivities on Saturday, Dec. 21. The light show attracts more than 100,000 visitors to the National Zoo each year.
ZooLights kicked off at the end of November and runs through New Year's Day. As thousands strolled through the zoo grounds after daytime hours, various hues of red, blue, green and yellow lights illuminate the premises. Exhibit buildings feature nocturnal animals including bats and owls. Children can also ride on a solar-powered carousel and a train that travels throughout the zoo.
Zoo officials also solicit donations of old cellphones in an effort to recycle the devices and protect primates' natural habitats around the world from the excavation of coltan, a metallic ore that's commonly used in the production of the mobile phones. This year, Friends of the National Zoo, an umbrella organization, used ZooLights as a platform to promote its upcoming bison exhibit that tells the story of the endangered species and recounts the zoo's role in protecting the animals.
Daisy Carlos, who said that primates count among her favorite animals, strolled throughout the zoo with her boyfriend, Daniel Smith, for much of the evening on Saturday. She appreciated the manner in which the zoo presented thought-provoking information about the primate species.
"ZooLights is the best of [both] worlds. You get to be a big kid and I get to learn about new innovative ways to save endangered species," said Carlos, 25, who lives in Springdale, Md.
Pepco hosted a panel discussion that focused on methods of energy conservation and sustainability before an audience of more than 50. The panel proved useful to residents who learned quick, easy tips to cut back energy costs, including Eric Sielvdo, who listened attentively during the discussion with his wife by his side.
"I had to attend this panel [because] I am one of those people who decorate every inch of my house [during the holiday season]," said Sielvdo, 44, a government contractor from Annapolis. "Every year I decorate every inch of my house. My father passed it [on] to me and I want to continue it but I am also wary of the costs. Decorating my house is an essential part of the season because it brings joy to my neighborhood. My four [children] also love helping. It's a family tradition."
Other attractions included a land of Lego playhouse. Holiday-themed music filled the air as children played with Legos, enjoyed rides on the carousel and stared at nocturnal creatures through a glass panel.
Donna Douglas, of Frederick, Md., watched in awe as her children put the finishing touches on what she called a Lego masterpiece. She enjoyed the festivities because it provided her a chance to spend time with her sons in a safe environment.
"I liked getting to see my boys' faces as they competed in building a Lego castle," Douglas, 57, said. "We come every year and they are always drawn to the Legos. It's their favorite activity."
Sasha Vernon strolled through the zoo gazing at the magnificent light displays with her fiancé.
"It's definitely an event worth braving the cold for. It's like a winter fair in the capital," said Vernon, 56, of Rockville, Md. "Most certainly, I'll be back before the end of the year."

text: The Metropolitan Sanitary District expects to save nearly $55,000 and eliminate some taxpayer confusion by no longer sending notices with county real estate tax bills. The notices told residents what percentage of their taxes went to the district for waste-water treatment. It applied chiefly to hospitals, schools and churches that do not pay property taxes but have to pay for water maintenance. Barbara Rumsey, a sanitary district spokeswoman, said the notices, which have been required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency since 1980, were confusing to some citizens, who thought they owed additional taxes. The confusion led to hundreds of calls from angry taxpayers when the notices were mailed in August, Rumsey said. The district will now place a legal notice in newspapers.

10 Paris Fashion Week Travel Tips From Rachel Zoe
1. Bonjour, mes amis!
Because The Rachel Zoe Project airs on Bravo and because every series on Bravo has the requisite "everyone goes to Paris" episode (looking at you, Housewives), the latest episode finds Rachel and Rodger in Paris. Rachel has to go to Paris Fashion Week, wear blue pantsuits, and be fabulous generally, but she also manages to find time to ride a carousel with "Sky Sky" and scold Rodger for eating quiche. If one thing was clear from the episode, it's this: If you're going to travel to PFW, this is the way to do it. Some rules for navigating the French fashion mayhem from our guardian angel, Rachel:
3. 1. When you pack for Paris, it should look like you're moving.
Obviously Rachel can't go to Paris Fashion Week without bringing the entire contents of her closet, Skyler's closet, and maybe the one drawer Rodger gets for his stuff. Once Rachel has amassed enough clothes to dress all of post-hurricane New Jersey, Rodger starts throwing one of the many tantrums he must be contractually obligated to throw each episode. "Rachel, it looks like a freaking estate sale. It's…seven suitcases, for a week?" he cries, beads of sweat forming between his bracelets and wrists. "And those little carry-ons? How many pocketbooks you bringing?" Plus 5 for "estate sale," but also, minus 5 for "pocketbooks." Rodger's fashion vocabulary is more up-to-date than that.
5. 2. Mitigate crises with the mantra "It's not that deep."
This is Rachel's new catchphrase. (I think it's new. Correct me if I'm wrong.) And in Rachel Land, I gather, it means the same thing to Rachel that "namaste" means to yoga instructors, i.e., "Thanks for doing the stuff I just told you to do, bye now." For example, R&R's packing argument:
Rodger: It's called look at the effing weather.
Rachel [justifying why she needs "options"]: It could change in a minute.
Rodger: Rawr, bla bla, rawr.
Rachel: It's not that deep.
Rodger: *Gives up, storms out, slams door.*
Rachel: RUDE!
7. 3. Assert your American ways by finding a Starbucks as soon as you get to Paris.
SMH, Rodger, seriously.
9. 4. "Real" conversations are discouraged when meeting designers backstage post-fashion show.
Rachel's post-Louis Vuitton conversation with Marc Jacobs goes something like this:
Rachel: Are you kidding me?
Marc: I know.
Rachel: Are you kidding me? *blinks* I love it.
There's no point making small talk about the weather when, hey, "it could change in a minute."
11. 5. Air-kiss everyone even if you have a cold that, according to your husband, makes you "sound like ass."
SMH, Rachel, but double SMH at Rodger, because: rude.
13. 6. After riding a carousel, ride an escalator.
Rachel may diffuse her feuds with Rodger by constantly reminding him that "it's not that deep," but what certainly is deep is this very Rachel Zoe Project she and Bravo have generously bestowed upon the world. This television program is a gleaming beacon of cinema verité in the barren wasteland of trashiness that is reality television, where dancing "stars" come and go like tumbleweeds in the dust, and shows that purport to be about fashion would leave aliens thinking humans are a troubled species that wears catfood dresses designed in 12 hours by amateur clothing makers and that only buys wedding dresses that don't even carry as much aesthetic value as Barbie's rollerblading costumes. But Rachel's is a show of motifs, symbolism, depth. For after enthusing over Jacobs' previous Vuitton show, where models rode a carousel and Kate Moss closed the show by walking next to that very carousel, Rachel finds a carousel to ride with Rodger and their impeccably anointed spawn. But it wasn't just child's play, it was the symbolic embodiment of the craziness of Rachel's whirlwind life as a stylist, new designer, mom, and wife to a man that doubles as a jewelry box. Her life is just that — a wild carousel constantly trying to knock her off-balance in her 3-foot-high heels. And does she fall? No. Of course not.
Remembering Vuitton's carousel, Rachel says to Rodger, "I was like, where do you go from there? And you know where you go from there? To escalators."
Yes, just as Louis Vuitton went from the beautiful chaos of a carousel to the reliable stability of escalators, so too will Rachel's life, career, clothing line. One day it will be another fashion fanatic greeting her after her shows, crying, "Are you kidding me?" And with ultimate serenity, she will simply say, "I know."
16. 7. Don't dress like a clown just for the sake of the street-style paparazzi.
Despite being a fashion icon and highly sought after by the street-style locusts swarming Paris Fashion Week, Rachel does not pull the tried-and-true Russian socialite tactic of drawing their attention by wearing fur bikinis and studded leather onesies — she just dresses like her regular flared-pants-loving self.
18. 8. Bring your husband to every single fashion outing and trust that he'll love it.
I know Rachel and Rodger have been married for 21 years and have a son and share a bond that's as solid and reliable as the earth's gravitational pull, but I am still impressed by the enthusiasm he brings with him to fashion week. In my experience, boyfriends react to fashion shows the way small children do to the dentist — they kick and scream for while before begrudgingly submitting to the discomfort.
20. 9. Fashion week >>> husband's rash.
Rodger's bejeweled body breaks out in red spots, but his issues are not to get in the way of PFW. "It's probably heat rash or something," Rachel says. "Take a Benadryl. (*rolls eyes*) Is that cold? (*squints*)" Well, Rodger can get a rash any day, but you can only see the Elie Saab collection walk the runway once, so…
22. 10. Hire a well-dressed gay/European to help you buy expensive presents for your wife.
Rodger and Rachel's anniversary is approaching, which means! Time for Rodger to add one more friendship bracelet to his ever-growing arm party, but also, more importantly, it's time for him to buy Rachel something fancy! We've seen him buy Rachel gifts (Hermès bag locks, other important things like this) with hired help in the past. And in Paris, Rodger slips away with a man clad in a beautiful suit to a vintage store run by a robust man in a neon-lilac shirt unbuttoned to reveal the full breadth of his heavage for a romantic rummage through fur stoles and old purses. With the help of his trusted adviser, Rodger avoids letting our wavy-haired friend sell him a black fur wrap or other menial piece of vintage Dior. Finally the gift consultant gets Rodger to settle on a small croc bag that looks like a tiny suitcase, which he presents to Rachel by saying, "Do you like? Isn't is so hot? You know how you're always like, 'I want a clutch,' but you can't fit anything in your freaking clutches?" Ladies, do your straight male partners talk to you like this? This has to be Rachel and Rodger's version of foreplay, only in Paris it can't be followed by actual sex because Rodger, as Rachel explains to the professional gift-buying character, "has cooties."
And then Rodger pays the additional costs of shipping Rachel's seven suitcases back home, Skyler changes into his plane fedora, and the happy family returns to their wacky, beautiful L.A. life.

Release Date For "Birth of the Living Dead" Doc, Which Focuses On Romero's "Night of the Living Dead'
In 1968 a young college drop-out named George A. Romero directed Night of the Living Dead, a low budget horror film that shocked the world, became an icon of the counterculture, and spawned a zombie industry worth billions of dollars that continues to this day.
Robert Kuhns's "Birth of the Living Dead," a new documentary available on iTunes October 15 and limited theaters October 18, shows how Romero gathered an unlikely team of Pittsburghers — policemen, iron workers, teachers, ad-men, housewives and a roller-rink owner — to shoot, with a revolutionary guerrilla, run-and-gun style, his seminal film. During that process Romero and his team created an entirely new and horribly chilling monster — one that was undead and feasted upon human flesh.
This new documentary also immerses audiences into the singular time in which "Night" was shot. Archival footage of the horrors of Vietnam and racial violence at home combined with iconic music from the 60s invites viewers to experience how Romero's tumultuous film reflected this period in American history. "Birth of the Living Dead" shows us how this young filmmaker created a world-renowned horror film that was also a profound insight into how our society really works.

hmmmmm zombie u, mario, ninja gaiden 3 better version........ wii u is off to a good start.
just give me a good online system and im sold!

"The cobbler's shoes" is a phrase that search marketers really should not have any excuse for. I often hear people saying "we don't actually do it for our own site because we don't have time". If our own sites are not trying to do what they are meant to do, then how can we expect cients to act on our advice?
Case in point… and guilty as charged… I finally relaunched my Murder Mystery Games site two weeks back and it involved dreaded URL changes. Arrgh! The redesign itself was done about 18 months ago, but the designer wasn't SEO savvy and although I gave strict instructions, it's weird how people can stick to instructions yet still come up with something entirely unworkable on search. I'm not complaining, it looks great. It looked even greater before I had to get a second web developer to change the whole new design and turn it into a WordPress theme. Doing that gave me some new challanges in the redesign.
1: How to set up the development server? I was smart enough to realise that putting up the new site without blocking google during the design phase would potentially duplicate all my content. So I put the site behind a password protected directory. However… I was of course unable to move the DNS to the new site until the new site was completely set up with 301s and all the rest. So I took some bad advice… I set up wordpress on an unused domain, with a view to parkeing the main domain there afterwards and then I was told everything would be hunky dory by the server managers. Don't try that at home folks! the database screws up, and when you try to fix it, you break wordpress. I ended up moving the DNS for just long enough for me to be able to set up a cpanel system on the new server, then moved it back (down time less than 2 minutes). I could then at least set up a properly configured WordPress installation.
2: Keeping the URL structure… or not. Well I REALLY tried to keep the urls the same. The old site had .htm files and of course WordPress would rather not have these. Because the new site was using wordpress PAGES rather than Worpress POSTS, there was also not a plugin or url syntax that allowed me to add .htm to the page urls. So in the end I used a hack in the main WordPress code. Not ideal because I now have an unstable version of WordPress which I can't update without remembering to change the code each time. But even more pointless is that when I went live, it didn't quite work. I was trying to get urls like http://www.murdermysterygames.co.uk/will.htm but found these had a 301 to http://www.murdermysterygames.co.uk/will.htm/. Hey ho… I guess if the urls can't stay identical then a 301 is OK, but after all the effort I'm a bit annoyed with myself. If I'd known I would have to 301 anyway, I would have dropped the .htm altogether.
3. Don't screw up the WWW non WWW decision! To my cost I accidently switched my site from redirecting to redirecting the www to non www. That wasn't meant to happen and to fix it I had to first realize my mistake (which I realized as my traffic levels started tanking) and then get into PHPmyAdmin as I couldn't fix it from WordPress. I hate that. Anyway – the long and short of it is that this post is ENTIRELY written so that I can get Google to go and spider http://murdermysterygames.co.uk to realise that it is a 301 and put my proper homepage: http://www.murdermysterygames.co.uk back in its index where it belongs. When you put up a new site, it is often the case that some of the old inner URLs don't get spidered for months, because no internal pages link to them anymore. Oilman gave me the idea years ago of submitting the OLD url structure to google sitemaps, thus getting Google to find and update all the 301s quicker, but since I try not to use sitemaps at all, this post will have to do for the home page at least.
4. Look out for those dead links: One area where webmastertools was REALLY helpful was seeing the broken inbound links. Google had already found 95 dead links to index.htm before I picked this one up. Next time I migrate a site I'll be looking at this like watching paint dry. Once noticed, the fix was really easy. I always use John Godley's "redirection" plugin and it seems to do the trick for me.
So what happened?
Well… there was a whole lot of other things that caused me problems. I've been kicking myself daily. But the main target phrases have maintained and improved. Interestingly, I also took the time to properly analyse my stats and found that most ofr my visitors were coming in using the word "free". Surprise surprise… thiose ones weren't converting. There were several other changes that I could now start making on the site – and will comtinue to do so – which will make the pain of transferring over to a CMS based solution very worthwhile in the long run. But… I'll be honest… the traffic levels have dropped by 30% or so right now. That said… conversions have gone up considerably to nearly double what they were before. Part of the traffic level drop is due to the change in messaging… the visitors are now arriving with far more appropriate search phrases. But I am still hoping that the overall numbers will recover in the next week or two… in which case I should have increased my turnover by 300% all told.
Better than a kick in the teeth huh?
Next task… how to get the US traffic back to my UK business. I think I'll have to work on a non .co.uk site for that. Luckily I have one… just another two years work…

Meeting the challenges facing physicians today.
As of January 1, 2015 there is no longer a financial incentive for a healthcare professional participating in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Going forward those healthcare professionals who are not meaningful user of Certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) Technology under the Medicare EHR Incentive Program will be penalized a percentage of their expected Medicare reimbursement.
As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Congress mandated that payment adjustments to be applied to Medicare eligible professionals who are not meaningful users of Certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) Technology under the Medicare EHR Incentive Programs.
These payment adjustments will be applied beginning on January 1, 2015, for Medicare eligible professionals.
The payment reduction begins in 2015 with a 1% reduction in Medicare reimbursements and can rise to as much as 5% by 2019.
Eligible professionals receive the payment adjustment amount that is tied to the year that they did not demonstrate meaningful use.
For example:
For more information click on this link to the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Program Basics page on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services website. It contains a table with the schedule of payment reductions from 2015 to 2020 and beyond.

The producers of Bravo's "Top Chef" have sued the Texas Attorney General's Office to stop it from revealing financial details about the show's upcoming season — shot entirely in the Lone Star State with Texas tax dollars.
The kerfuffle erupted after Gov. Rick Perry's office OK'd an estimated $400,000 tax-incentive payment (under the state's Office of Tourism) to "Top Chef" producers Magical Elves to "integrate" all-things Texas into the new season premiering Nov. 2, according to the Dallas Observer.
When asked how the money was being spent, "Perry's press office was carefully wording its responses to reporters, telling them that no public money had been spent to lure the show to Texas," according to the Observer.
When the Observer pressed for information, it was told that Perry's office "had even more documents it was ready to turn over — documents that apparently reveal details about the agreement between Magical Elves and the state," the report says.
The Attorney General's office then ruled, on Sept. 21, that whatever information Perry's office had vis a vis the estimated $400,000 paid to Magical Elves "belongs to the people" — and Magical Elves then filed its suit "to protect confidential, proprietary information," according to the report.
The lawsuit says the info from Perry's office contains "proposals, correspondence, and related documents exchanged in the course of confidential negotiations" and "details about . . . creative elements of 'Top Chef: Texas.'
"Disclosure of certain portions of this information would cause Magical Elves substantial competitive injury, jeopardizing its competitive position as to other production companies and undermining its ability to negotiate effectively with potential advertisers," the lawsuit states.
According to the Observer report, Magical Elves had, in past years, tried to get the city of Dallas to kick in some money if the show filmed there, but was rebuffed by the Dallas Film Commission.
"Top Chef" did shoot in Dallas over the summer, but didn't receive any compensation from the city, according to the report.
The show also shot episodes in San Antonio and Austin. Houston turned the show down, according to the Observer.
Magical Elves shoots many other reality shows — including "Project Runway" and "Treasure Hunters."
Officials at Magical Elves did not respond to several requests for a comment.

In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Powerful Suggestion."
My advice to my self would be to ask for more. Generally I try to be as honest as I can, and I expect everyone to do the same. However, I feel now that it is not how the life works. I should at least ask for a bit more than I feel that I deserve. If I don't get that, no one can say that I didn't try.
So from now on I'll try to use this advice. And not just externally – I also plan to ask more of myself. If I want to become even better version of myself, these are the things, that I should do:
- Stay in touch with my friends;
- Get up earlier;
- Eat healthy;
- Read more.

It's been a rough couple of months for investors as economic data disappointed and Europe seemed on the verge of a full scale financial meltdown.
The data is beginning to surprise to the upside and home prices are moving higher again. And the index of leading indicators suggests that GDP growth is set to reaccelerate in a big way later this year. Greek politicians bit the bullet and passed another tough round of budget austerity measures.
As a result, the bulls are pushing stocks up and out of downtrend resistance as they rotate back into cyclical, economically sensitive stocks.
Although my favorite sector at the moment is financials, technology stocks are also perking up nicely since the group has exposure to what I believe will be the main driver of economic growth in the years to come: Corporate investment spending. With ironclad balance sheets, ultra-low inventories, lean headcounts, and years of underinvestment, businesses will soon have no choice but to deploy record cash reserves on things like new computers, new machinery, and new factories.
This line of thinking was in full effect this week as shares of software giant Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) bolted higher in reaction to news of a possible early release of the next version of its flagship Windows operating system next spring. The company also unveiled its new "cloud based" Office 365 product to take the fight to Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and its Google Docs service.
A number of technology ETFs are perking up and showing early signs of relative strength for the first time in months. The two best looking funds are the First Trust Dow Jones Internet Index Fund (NYSE: FDN), which holds stocks like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO), and Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM), and the S&P North American Technology-Software Index Fund (NYSE: IGV), which holds Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL), Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE), and Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC).
The IGV fund has seen its nine-day moving average make a bullish cross over its 18-day average for the first time since the rally out of the post-Japan earthquake March low. This is a solid sign of strength. Also, the On Balance Volume indicator suggests like minded traders are flooding in.

To the Editor:
Re "Prisoners' Rights" (editorial, Sept. 24):
You correctly point to the enormous harm caused by the Prison Litigation Reform Act's provision requiring prisoners to exhaust their prison's internal grievance system before they can file a civil rights case in federal court, as well as the provision that bars litigation if a prisoner has not suffered a physical injury in addition to a violation of constitutional rights. Every day, the American Civil Liberties Union is contacted by prisoners shut out of court by these provisions.
Unfortunately, these are not the only provisions of the law that strip prisoners and jail detainees of their constitutional rights. A separate provision of the law limits the power of federal courts to issue effective relief in prison and jail conditions of confinement cases. As a result, large numbers of such facilities are no longer under any effective form of judicial supervision, and now some facilities are even refusing to provide prisoners with basics like three meals a day or a bed at night.
No one's rights are secure when Congress arbitrarily strips basic human rights from unpopular groups of people, and Congress needs to fix the Prison Litigation Reform Act now.

3 Wearable Spring Wardrobe Updates/
We get one sunny day and I'm all 99's and flip flops. My inner beach bum really struggles with our climate sometimes. Single sunny day aside, we are mid-March and I'm pretty sure that's officially springtime which means summer is a mere stone's throw away. So it's perfect timing to start thinking about your spring/summer wardrobe updates. See how I just justified a sunny day as reason enough to hit the shops? It's a talent, I know.
So amidst all the SS17 noise, there are three key trends popping up at press previews time & time again that'll drag your wardrobe out of winter mode pronto. I personally believe in splurging the big bucks on non-trend pieces; handbags, the perfect pair of Chelsea boots or jeans that don't body shame you (vintage Levi 501's you know who I'm talking about) and keeping to a more modest budget on trend based pieces.
1. Ruffles
Ah ruffles, how I love thee. We saw hints of the ruffle trend making its way into the high-street last year but nothing on the scale of the ruffle-fest that is 2017. The general ruffle trend is often paired up with either a stripe or gingham combo and often with a bell sleeve thrown in for good measure. The likes of Topshop and ASOS have some great options, not forgetting and trusty old Penney's hun. My personal favourite is the knitwear ruffle combos the H&M have rolled out this season, very wearable and cute as a button – special shout out goes to the dusty pink cold-shoulder ruffle number, which is all sorts of gorgeous.
(Above image, from top to bottom)
Ruffle Jumper | €35.00 H&M
Strip Ruffle Mini Skirt | €44.00 Topshop
White Ruffle Top | €9.95 Zara
2. Slip-On Loafers
I sit firmly on the fence on these. Agreed they do look pretty chic with the right Jean but purely on practicality grounds I fear for my life. If you're more of a daredevil than me and laugh in the face of a backless shoe, then it's worth checking out River Island for pops of pink and Aldo for a more everyday version.
(Above image, from top to bottom)
Light Pink Suede Loafer |€65.00 River Island
Gold Slip-on Loafer | €80.00 Aldo
Leather Flame Loafers | £65.00 & Other Stories
3. Peek-a-Boo Bra's
Gorgeously lacy bras are everywhere right now, some complete with built in choker embellishments, cut outs and embroidery. The idea is to show them off. Not in a full on topless vibe but with a tasteful & intentional flash beneath a shirt or a sheer top. Being a longstanding member of the small chest brigade, I love these delicate lacy numbers – however I'm all too aware of how lacking they are in the support dept. if you're a little more blessed up top. Penney's have come up trumps on this trend with some gorgeously luxe inspired lingerie for buttons. Topshop have a decent selection also with & Other Stories well worth a look too.

Act Two Scene Two: Rolls 23-A + 55-B + 56-B
|"I thought you meant Twickenham, Oregon."
George summons the spirit of Ray Charles and his backing singers, the Raelettes as examples of the backing vocals that he wants from John and Paul. He plays a few lines from Back in the USSR, before beginning to quote line of dialog which originate from a seductive and in-your-face lewd contemporary play. This play ends in a simulated sex act (hint: the play is named "The Beard").
The track ends with another short performance of "All Things Must Pass". The game board is set: the very next performance will be a tear-jerker.

PTA Job Description
Physical therapist assistants conduct their services under the guidance and instruction of a certified physical therapist. PTs rely heavily on their PT assistants, so it is crucial that a Physical therapy assistant can offer clients a comprehensive plan of physical therapy workouts.

Some methods incorporate deep massage, exercise therapy, physical modalities particularly ultrasound and electro therapy as well as functional training.

Whenever a Physical therapist assistant examines an individual first, they help the PT examine the individual and develop a care program encouraging recovered usability, the ability to move, preventing disability and reducing discomfort. Then, together, the PT, Physical therapist assistant, and individual each work collectively to ensure the goal of the health program is achieved, calculating patient progression, healing, and safety even while making modifications as needed.
