This year, the t shirt industry stormed with Zombies, 8-bit, Retro, and neons to top the list of popular summer trends. Design By Humans provides a means of researching, creating and enhancing new trends in each season. The shirt of the day, facebook updates and the DBH blog are key resources to discovering new trends along with staying on top of new ones.

When trying to establish a fashion trend, look into different styles to create a personal style. The summer is a great time to start looking into the wardrobe and do a checklist of style ques.

The Zombie trend is here to stay with hundreds of different t shirt designs. While skulls, and skeletons have always been a popular subject matter, this year dedicated to the Zombies. Many people following the Zombie Apocalypse, Walking Dead, or bath salts were on this trend with fashion forward designs.

One the lighter side of t-shirt design, the old school gamers rode an 8 bit wave. Old Video game designs, pixelated art, and vintage sayings all made the lists of most t-shirt companies. The Ninja Turtles, Batman, and all the super heroes spiked an unusual trend for the vintage character era. The Post Modern world of the 80's cycles back again to highlight a retro and vintage style.

Along with the 8 bits, hipster style made a large charge with young to older style groups. The 80s sunglasses, skinny jeans, and old school looking t shirts help make a main stream course of style. The retro themes seemed to trend hard as classic video games, movies, and brands hit classical trend sting.

Those are the top three trends of graphic tees for the summer months. There are the new waves of indie and hipster styles. The extreme sports and athletic enthusiast prefer breathable nylon and cotton clothing. Gothic styles are for the dark and mysterious. Finally classy trends for causal, comfortable and professional. Here is a review of each of the growing summer style trends.

Indie Clothing styles are geared around the younger generations of 16-25 year-olds. Based off indie culture, music, and the alternative rock styles. It is an enhanced version of vintage with a new age twist. The wardrobe includes vintage style graphic tee shirt, a leather accessory or two, something black, some skinny jeans and casual shoes to round out the attire.

Retro shirts are in the realms of art deco, 70's attire, and the essences of the blues brothers. The styles start with a pattern graphic shirt with muted colors or a slight vintage texture. Retro clothing features a sport coat for the winter, the retro sunglasses with the squared off frames, possibly a fedora, and clean shoes. Retro and Vintage styles can go hand in hand. Retro has a clean up class look, while vintage can just be a celebration of women's jackets textured clothing.

Boarder is someone who snowboards, skate boards, to the wake board dude. The talent and passion for the extreme sports needs a chill, yet exciting style. The flashy t shirt, to the cargo shorts, sunglasses, probably a few tats and some flip flops. Those are the comfortable and cool styles of a boarder. Get some air, flash some rock on head signs in the extreme athlete fashions.

Sophisticated styles have comfort and class, a intelligent look, like Fox's Tv show star, Dr. House. He is known for catchy graphic t-shirts, a sport coat, jeans and dress shoes. The shirt normally has something witty to say on it, a nicely fit coat to keep the arms warm, and designer jeans complete the casual yet classy style.

Gothic clothing style stems from black, minor color accents, and some metal texture. Gothic styles are dark and often fit well with big boots and to dark eye shadow. Many themes include skulls, vampires and monster t shirts. Emo is also apart of this genre, but requires less black and they don't form around the dead skull theme as much.

This summer had some bizarre twists on themes and trendy styles that gained popularity. Design By Humans and the community were right on board with the newest trends and providing t shirts to match. Here are the top summer trends from the t shirt fashion industry.

Establishing a fashion trend is a fun and adventurous way to enhance personal styles. Starting at a young age people start to establish a favorite style, like shoes and a shirt. There are a variety of style options depending on the occasion.

There are different fashion styles for each season. The base styles always stay the same, but the subject matter, accessories and colors seem to change on trend.

How to Choose Between Traditional and New Deck Materials

Homeowners and designers have many more options when it comes to deck building materials than in previous years. The majority of new products seem aimed at creating decks that require less maintenance. The old adage of buying high quality materials holds true today.

Decks take a fair amount of abuse because they are subjected to foot traffic as well as the elements of nature. Quality materials will certainly keep the deck looking better for longer periods of time.

There are 2 types of untreated wood that are u women's jackets sed most often for decking. Redwood has a straight grain, takes a finish well and ranges in color from light to dark red. Heartwood redwood is resistant to decay, insects and rot. It is expensive, often 4 times the cost of pressure treated wood. Consider using redwood only for the visible decking parts and using pressure treated lumber for the under structure.

Western red cedar heartwood possesses many of the same qualities of redwood although it is lighter in color. Cedar is easy to work with but softer than redwood and takes a finish readily.

Both types of wood work well as decking but heartwood is more expensive and not available in quantity all the time. Lumber harvested from new growth which is lighter in color and called sapwood may have less resistance to decay and insects.

Exotic woods are another option for maintenance free, long lasting wood decking. Ipe, also known as Pau Lope, ironwood or Brazilian walnut, is one type while teak, Brazilian cherry and Philippine mahogany are others.

These exotic woods benefit from being extremely dense and rich with natural oils thus making them very resistant to decay, fungal growth, insects and even fire. On the other hand, these tropical hardwoods are so dense that saws and drills have a diffiucult time penetrating them.

Tropical hardwoods cost more than most deck materials with the exception of redwood which is on par with them. Additional costs must be expected because of labor costs associated with the slower processes of predrilling and cutting. The need for extra saw blades will also impact upon the cost of the project with these deck materials.

Exotic hardwoods have great natural beauty but will still require some maintenance similar in nature to what is done with cedar and redwood.

Pressure treated lumber is the most cost effective and practical deck building material for the majority of homeowners. It is extremely resistant to rot and insect damage. A new process has replaced arsenic with copper compounds which poses no known threat to humans. The copper compounds are highly corrosive to other metals so it is vital that hot dipped galvanized or stainless steel nails and screws be used as fasteners.

Some synthetic deck products called composites combine wood fiber and recycled plastics. Others are produced from vinyl. Both are used primarily for decking with some matching components for railings, trim boards and moldings.

Synthetic products are not subject to rot, checking and do not splinter. They require less maintenance than wood but are more expensive than wood types. Some brands are more difficult to work with due to their density and weight. These types also tend to hold more heat than real wood and can cause discomfort when walking on them.

Aluminum decking is the new kid on the block that likely will become an attractive alternative in the future. It is low maintenance, light in weight but strong, prefinished, cool to walk on, recyclable and has a clean, contemporary look to it. Aluminum decking is also substantial enough that noise and denting are not problems.

Channels that are built in between the planks conveniently carry away rain. This translates into no additional drainage system under the deck being required. Aluminum decking is very well suited for use with roof decks and harsh seaside climates.

Decking made from plywood is another alternative to the use of solid wood or synthetic deck planks. This option has a more formal, less busy appearance than traditional deck products. When it is waterproofed properly, the space below will easily stay dry.

One process involves caulking and taping all joints and then applying several coats of acrylic polymer. Granules can be added to the final coat to improve skid resistance and add a measure of texture.

A second system involving rolling a heavy vinyl membrane into place would basically achieve the same result. Any seams would need to be overlapped and heat welded. The finished product is much like an outdoor sheet vinyl floor because it is available in a variety of colors, patterns and textures.

A third alternative would involve applying a layer of fibreglass and resin to the plywood. Once dry a coating of marine paint would be applied to complete the task and add a splash of color to the outdoor living space.

In most deck designs, footings, beams and joists are usually hidden for good reason. However, it is possible with a little imagination to incorporate these items into the total deck design especially with upper level decks and those decks built on ground that slopes away from the house. In such cases there are a number of possible options.

Beams can be accentuated by extending them beyond the deck perimeter and cutting their ends with a distinctive profile. Cladding piers, posts and columns with wood, brick or stone can be particularly effective when the home also includes these materials.

Craft posts from full logs or rough-hewn timbers and they will look more distinctive than standard milled lumber. Use less obtrusive diagonal braces in place of posts as long as they meet local building codes.

Make use of decorative deck hardware such as column caps and joist hangers that typically come powder coated in black.

The choice of deck materials selected by a homeowner will be almost certainly affected by the project budget, product availability, design possibilities and of course with maintenance issues which have become increasingly more important in recent years.

Style but you'll want to practice very carefully to prevent damage

Not only women but males have also began to favor designer and also smart appear with their bags. Urban males, in particular the skilled ones, search for this kind of a leather-based messenger bag that is definitely quickly workable, compact not to mention most connected with all trendy. These sorts relating to bags are most useful for those who come across knack packs unpleasant cumbersome or for all those that have unpleasant back again complications.

Gather your supplies. Obtain a pair associated with long not to mention thick tube socks (hockey socks or even a man's socks will be an ideal duration), ideally a pair that you just never use any longer. Just make certain that they are clear together with do not have any holes. Sporting Clubs or Team Sponsorships and Marketing Give-aways can normally realize both objectives by the a single expenditure. The Sponsorship/investment could be limited to supporting just the a single group and then not a entire club so your outlay is minimised.

Fashion Elegance on A Tight Budget

Sometimes all you need to make a plain dress into an elegant fashion statement is to accessorize it with a stunning piece of jewelry. Even adding an inexpensive bit of sparkle to the neckline of a dress transforms it into an eye catching outfit. So, pull out that simple little black dress and make it perfect for your holiday or special celebration party with stunning jewelry.

Another trick when you want a handbag worthy of taking to the party, but need it to carry more than a clutch can handle, try a small tote bag made in a luxurious, but washable fabric. Those sparkling styles that come in metallic colors are often classy and go with everything from basic black to the classic reds and greens of the holiday colors.

When the occasion calls for a more eye-catching bag, go for a beaded look. You can even save on the cost of a ready-made beaded bag when you purchase an inexpensive solid color clutch bag. Make sure it is in fabric or leather, then carefully glue an assortment of beads or rhinestones on it.

The beads and rhinestones can be found at any fabric outlet, or a general bead store. Or, if you are handy with a needle, there are lots of beaded appliques already made that can either be gently sewn on or glued to the bag. And, as I think of it, a ready-made, beaded applique can also be sewn, not glued, for easy removal, to the shoulder of your little black dress. Makes for quite an elegant and unique touch!

Pulling together another elegant outfit that works beautifully for a holiday look is to dress up a pair of black pants by pairing them with a colorful satin or glossy silk blouse. Adding a glittery necklace or a jeweled belt at the waist makes a look that is totally attractive. This look can serve you well into the New Year and after for any special occasion.

A plain sleeveless tunic worn with high-heeled sandals and a jeweled handbag will command attention. Or, pair a colorful tunic with glittery jewelry, skinny black pants, and high-heeled boots for a trendy holiday look for your office party or a special social event.

For a more glamorous look, try a long, full length classy hip hugging skirt, and pair it with a beaded top, or a lacy camisole, or a sleeveless satin blouse and a long chiffon scarf wrap. Wear either look with or without sparkling jewelry, or with just a wide gold or silver bracelet.

Now more than ever, the economy is calling for a tightening of your budget. Keeping a few classic pieces in your closet is a smart move, and you will not go wrong. Think plain and simple. Add accessories to make them elegant, and your little black dress becomes chic and perfect.

When you purchase a few the classics, they can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Buy pieces that are well-made and in good fabrics. They will always feel better when you wear them, and look better on you. Look for fabrics in lightweight wool gabardine, silk, cotton, linen, cashmere, and textured man-made fibers. Before walking out the store, go the extra mile and make sure each item fits. If something needs to be altered, have them professionally tailored. Your money will be well spent.

When adjusting your budget to meet hard times today, classics are a good bet. They will last you through many times of wear and you will not have to shop as often for an item to wear for the holidays, or for a single evening. Just by adding a scarf or a layer of necklaces to a simple blac women's coats k dress or to a solid color suit, you express many different looks.

Classics are a must for any closet. A few of the tried and true classics that may make up any wardrobe include,

1. The little Black Dress -- High praise for this one that can go from the office to a cocktail party.
2. A three-Piece Suit -- Make it a jacket, skirt and pants in a solid color.
3. A Navy Blazer --This one makes an impression.
4. A long sleeve White Shirt with or without buttoned cuffs -- very versatile.
5. An All-Weather Coat - Takes you from warm and sunny to cool and rainy days.
6. Jeans -- Go for the classy, well fitting, and keep them clean and pressed.
7. Formal Wear -- Dramatic coordinates can be mixed and matched to make several different outfits.

No matter what you decide to wear or put together, make sure your attitude is positive and your spiritual gratitude is in harmony with your look. Inner beauty and elegance shines through and is more appealing than anything you may wear. Pay special attention to your health, fitness and grooming. You will not only feel and look great, you will be elegant. Have a Happy Holiday and more!

Scientific Intervention: The Progress Of Fashion Through The Ages

1921: Crown Prince Hirohito of Japan commissioned Henry Poole & Co, a respected Savile Row Tailor, to create Westernized suits for his state tour of Britain. A representative of Poole's sailed to Gibraltar with pattern templates where he met The Crown Prince's destroyer and cabled measurements to London so the order would be accomplished three weeks later when the Prince was due to reach the UK. women's jackets Japan consciously embrace western culture and looked to Savile Row as the finest example of suiting.

This is just one episode in its illustrious history. Countless creations have been channelled to the world. If you try and chart the course of style creations, Savile Row is a good place to start.

Thanks to scientific intervention, information could be cabled immediately around the world, similarly to emailing, but far less open to abuse.

Many clothing styles and fashion accessories worn on a day to day basis are often products of an accident or created purely for functional uses. It has taken many decades to achieve ?€?Designer label?€?status. No Catwalks were apparent, models, or fashion media in the early days of fashion/style creation.

A gradual evolution aided by such brands as Jaeger, who remained at the fore front of style for many decades, using (science) photography in fashion.

Thomas Burberry Noticing how local shepherds and farmers wore linen smocks, which were cool in summer and warm in the winter, he attempted to apply the same principles to other clothing.

In 1879 he developed a fabric which was weatherproofed in the yarn before weaving, using a secret process and then proofed again in the piece, using the same undisclosed formula. The new material was untearable and weatherproof, whilst cool and breathable. He called the cloth ?€?gabardine?€? and registered the word as a trademark.

It became the choice mackintosh for British officers during the Trench War in Europe, hence the name Trench Coat. It remains true to original form apart from some colour additions

Another example is English Madder Print. The ?€?madder?€?part of this lovely phrase refers to a natural dye from a Eurasian herbaceous plant, Rubia tinctoria.

Its continuing success through decades of rise and fall owe much too scientific intervention. The colouring agent in madder root called alizarin was in fact first chemically extracted and then synthesized in 1869 by two English chemists. Although the dyeing process, even today, requires a variety of painstaking steps, synthesized alizarin brought the price within the reach of commercial producers.

The fashion industry is a very repetitive one, naturally so, you don?€?t see many people walking down the street with wearing clothes fresh off the catwalk. Everything is watered down to meet demand. Believe it or not, we?€?re all very conservative.

We can?€?t change history but can learn a lot from its turbulent past. Many fashion designers have drawn elements from the past and given them a lick paint to create contemporary men?€?s fashion accessories
.

During the eighties, Vivienne Westwood did well launching her ?€?Pirates Collection?€?elements of this are still being mimicked today, and by very conservative brands.

If you?€?re a dedicated follower of fashion you will have noticed how often the look of the seventies makes regular visits. Style is constant, fashion comes and goes.

Science has underpinned every movement in fashion, evident even more so in today?€?s high tech world.

The next time to you don the favourite designer silk ties, or admire your collection of cufflinks, remember it?€?s elementary.

Clothing Yourself Appropriately for Your Exercise Type

Each sport or type of fitness regime requires a different type of apparel or accessories. If a mountain biker were to exercise without a helmet, they would not be doing so safely and would not be adequately covered.

If a gymnast showed up to a meet wearing a football uniform, complete with pads and a helmet, they would not be able to move, get the height that they need, or perform acrobatics. Apparel may seem like something very material, but it really is important to the overall success of your workout.

Those that are interested in yoga must dress themselves in a way that allows for mobility and flexibility. Yoga is a workout in which poses and breathing exercises increase the ability to stretch and make your muscles better able to handle resistance.

In warmer climates, make sure to dress cool and run during the morning or evening hours when the sun is lower. If you live in an area that is snowy and cold, but insist upon running outdoors, make sure your ears and head are adequately covered.

Layer your clothing, and wear a coat that will keep you warm and from getting hypothermia in freezing temperatures. Every runner should outfit themselves with a great pair of shoes.

Footwear is one thing that you do not want to go cheap or low-tech on. Your shoes should be comfortable, light, flexible, and last you at least four-hundred miles of running.

If you are unsure about which type to purchase, you should visit your local sporting goods store for assistance. The experts there will be able to help you find the running shoe that best fits your style and the type of terrain you will be exercising on.

You may also want to wear a backpack containing a water bladder if you plan to jog long distances. This will give you hands-free hydration and keep you from becoming hurt or losing a great deal of water out of your system.

Bikers will also want to take advantage of close-fitting, moisture-wicking clothing. When it comes to shorts or pants, make use of clothing that will not move back and forth or cause you discomfort wh women's coats online ile you are sitting.

You also do not want it to be hanging off your body, because it can get caught in spokes and wheels easily, causing you harm or accident. Always wear a helmet and protective gear, whether you are a mountain, road, or recreational biker.

You must protect the most important parts of your body, just in case you fall off your bike or get in any accidents. You will also need a pair of biking shoes that will fit closely to your foot and, ideally, not have laces that will get caught in your chains or spokes.

Apparel and accessories are very important when it comes to fitness and sports. The more prepared you are with your clothing, the easier your workouts will be and the better you will be able to perform them.

The 10 Most Popular Cat Breeds

There are about 100 million pet cats in the Western world. The most popular is a combination of different breeds - the domestic shorthaired cat. The Cat Fancier's Association (CFA) holds the largest registry of pedigree cats in the world. A pedigree is the product of two parents from the same breed.

Let's take a look at the top ten most popular cat breeds of 2006, according to the CFA.

1. THE PERSIAN

Number one since the CFA first started keeping records in 1871! Although Persians are high-maintenance and need grooming every day, this is more than compensated for by their affectionate and loyal personality.

2. THE MAINE COON

This enormous all-American cat has been in seco women's jackets nd place since 1992. Maine Coons are one of the biggest domestic breeds. Males average 12 to 18 pounds in weight and females are usually 10-14. They are hardy, gentle and loving with long fur but don't need as much grooming as a Persian.

3. THE EXOTIC

These are also known as exotic shorthairs and are rounded and solid in appearance. This cat is like a Persian but with short fur. Some people call them 'a Persian in pyjamas'! They have the sweet personality of the Persian but only need combing twice a week.

4. THE SIAMESE

These cats are very communicative, yowling in a rasping voice for attention or just to chat! They are slim and athletic with large ears. Their fur is short and lies close to their skin. They love to be stroked, and are extremely loyal and close to one person. They are very intelligent and loving.

5. THE ABYSSINIAN

It is said that these pretty cats are descended from those worshipped by the ancient Egyptians - but no one knows for sure. Their coat is ticked with colors. Abyssinians are very active, busy and playful, and they love people.

6. THE RAGDOLL

Ragdolls, or 'Raggies' are extremely cute cats. They are called Ragdolls because when you pick one up, it goes completely limp in your arms! They are another large breed with males growing anything up to 20 pounds and females 15. They have blue eyes and mid-length, silky fur. They are extraordinarily affectionate and will follow you everywhere.

They are so docile that it can be dangerous for them to go out as they wouldn't defend themselves if another animal attacked them.

7. THE BIRMAN

This blue eyed cat also glories in the name of the Sacred Cat of Burma! They have characteristic white paws, making them look as if they are wearing little white boots. They have even temperaments, and are known for adjusting to your daily routine. A Birman will often be waiting for you when you get home from work (as do Siamese and Orientals). Although their fur is long and silky, they don't require much grooming.

8. THE AMERICAN SHORTHAIR

These look like regular tabbies but true American Shorthairs are pure-bred. These cats originally arrived in America on the "Mayflower" with the pilgrims. They are good hunters, have a loving nature, general good health, a quiet temperament, and they are great with children. They come in a multitude of color combinations, the most popular being silver. More than a third of all American Shorthairs have this coloring of black 'stripes' on a beautiful silver background.

9. THE ORIENTAL

This breed looks and behaves just like a Siamese but is available in two different hair lengths and over 300 different color combinations. They also have very sweet natures, and have many of the characteristics of Siamese, though they don't quite talk as loudly. But they are very affectionate and loyal, very people-oriented.

10. THE SPHYNX

This extraordinary naked cat has a rather bizarre appearance. Strangely, they are available in a multitude of colors, albeit skin colors rather than fur! They are lively and athletic, and enjoy climbing. They are loyal, loving and constantly demand attention.

How to Sharpen Your Knife With a Sharpening Steel

There are many ways to sharpen a knife. This guide will show you the most common and basic method of knife sharpening. All blades are different and you will find that the steel used in the production of the knife makes a big difference in how it sharpens and maintains an edge.

Most knives grow dull from regular use rather quickly. The best way to freshen up a sharp blade is to hit it with a sharpening steel. You are not actually sharpening t women's coats he blade but rather straitening it.

Blades tend to curl a little at a time after extended use. This curling effect is not visible to the eye but can be noticed by feeling the blade.

Take caution when running your finger against the blade as a cut won't be a pleasant experience. The idea is to run your thumb against the blade and not with it. A sharp blade will grip your flesh a bit as you rub it. A dulled blade will roll along your thumb.

To use the steel, you should hold the steel with your weak hand and the knife firmly with your strong hand. Point the steel away from your body as this is the direction in which you will sharpen the knife.

Begin by placing the knife against the steel at approximately a 30 to 45 degree angle. The blade should be placed on the steel closet to the hilt or the handle. Slide the knife down and pull it away from the steel. Once you get the hang of this action, you can increase your pace.

This action will begin the process of straightening the curled blade. After the first stroke, you will alternate the knife to the bottom of the steel hitting the opposite side of the blade. Again, with a 30 to 45 degree angle, you will move the blade down and pull it away from the steel.

Practice this action a few times lightly against the steel. Remember to alternate the blade from the top of the steel to the bottom on every stroke to keep the blade uncurling evenly. If you fail to do this, you will find that your blade will not sharpen at all.

As you practice this movement, begin to apply more pressure to every stroke. You should never use a lot of force; just enough to give the knife a firm push against the steel which you will hold steady in the opposite hand. The idea is to consistently use the same stroke without altering the angle. This takes a it of practice but the method is learned quickly.

Continue to do this movement repeatedly. With practice, you can teach yourself to steel sharpen a knife very rapidly. It does not take a lot of time to do this, just some training in coordination. If your knife is not dulled down severely, a few hundred strokes using this method should have your knife shaving hair.

Once you have completed this, lay your steel down as you will not need it again. The next step is quite simple and all that is needed is a piece of leather. Often times, a steel comes with a leather sheath which will work perfectly.

Take your knife, once again, firmly in your strong hand. Again, at a 30 to 45 degree angle, slide the blade along the leather surface using the same method above about ten times per side.

This finishing touch is actually just finely putting the razor edge on your blade. Leather is very slick and works perfectly for this. You will find that you can even use the sole of your shoe or boot if the leather is flat. Make sure that the sole is leather and not rubber.

This also removes any metal shavings from the blade that may still be clinging on. These metal shavings can prevent the knife from cutting smoothly. The blade will seem much duller than it actually is.

I would suggest putting a touch of lubricant on any joints that move if you use a folding knife. Also, put a little bit onto a rag and wipe it into the blade really well. This is best done by pinching the blade with the edge away from you using the lubricated cloth. Rub it in really well and leave a very fine coat.

That should get your knife serviceable again. It is always good to have a knife steel handy to hit the blade a few times every now and then. Keep practicing and you will be a professional in no time.

6 Ways To Quit Smoking

If you are looking for ways to stop smoking, then this article will help. In addition to providing you with proven ways to quit smoking, we also want to address some of the dangers associated with smoking. Although you might have some understanding that cigarette smoking is bad, most people are simply unaware of just how bad it really is.

Just as the Surgeon General warns, cigarette smoking has been shown to cause cancer. In addition to lung cancer, other forms of cancer that develop specific to smoking include larynx, cervix, mouth, pancreas, bladder, esophagus, and even kidney. Then, in addition to the increased risk of cancer, cigarette smoke can also lead to emphysema, wheezing, dizziness, nausea, and a lower level of energy and stamina. Obviously, none of this sounds good. We hope this will encourage you to stop smoking.

The main challenge when it comes to quitting smoking is getting past the dreaded urge to light up. Once you can resist this urge, you can gain more control in the process of quitting. This article provides a number of ways to stop smoking that actually work, many by getting you past the urges associated with cigarettes. We do not want to sugar coat the process because quitting smoking is hard but with determination and the right tools/resources, you can do it.

Start by reminding yourself that when the urge to light up a cigarette hits, it will only last about five minutes. Therefore, if you can control the urge for that length of time, you have already gotten ahead of the game.

Reminders - We suggest that you make a list of reasons you want to quit or are trying to quit and carry it with you everywhere you go. Often during the initial craving, we focus on nothing but taking a hit. By having an itemized list that you can read during this five-minute period, will help reinforce your goal.

Rewards - Ways to stop smoking also involve giving yourself a reward when you pass up the chance to smoke. For this, provide yourself with some type of reward important to you at the end of each week you have gone without smoking a cigarette. This might be a new outfit, dinner at a favorite restaurant, a massage, or literally anything. The reward does not have to be costly, just something special to you.

Preparedness - When trying to quit smoking, you know that you will have cravings. Therefore, you need to be prepared so when the urges arise, you do not cave in. For this, you might be sure to always carry a pack of gum with you, again, use your list of re women's coats asons for stopping smoking, and begin to pay attention to the reasons you are feeling the need for a cigarette. As an example, if you are sitting in rush hour traffic and start to feel stressed, wanting a cigarette, then you know that stress is one of your triggers. To combat the problem, buy a CD that you find relaxing, listen to a book via iPod, etc.

Support - When trying to quit smoking, you will need support of family and friends. Make sure they understand just how important it is to you to stop so when you call them, they provide ongoing encouragement. Of course, these need to be people who do not smoke!

Distractions - In our proven ways to quit smoking, we wanted to add distractions, which can be very helpful. If you find yourself at home wanting a cigarette, try to do something that will distract you, especially during the five-minutes of heavy craving. For instance, you might take a brisk walk around the block, water the plants, play with the dog, and so on.

Home Business Success Connections

It is really possible to make your home business successful simply through connections with other businesses related to yours.

The answer is a resounding yes! Granted, skeptics are quick to point out that it is unwise to send your customers or even only potential customers someplace else, but consider all the benefits!

How smart you do it is the key.

Take for example, if you are running a home business that specializes in designing and creating outfits for dogs.

Why not make the business connection with your local veterinarian?

If you already own a dog and have a good relationship with your vet, she or he will most likely not mind having some of your business cards and maybe even a photo of your dog in a cute outfit like a coat or sweater.

A good place to get it displayed is on the office bulletin board.

This connection will, in time, net you some customers, since anyone who visits the vet office is usually kept waiting long enough to view some of the ads on this board.

The trick is to be consistent and make sure there are always some ads on the board.

From there, you can branch out and make the connection with your local animal shelter? Maybe you adopted your own doggy from there.

You could offer a free doggie garment of a non expensive variety. This would be, of course, for caring people who adopt a pooch or cat from there.

This will surely get your name out and it will also be undoubtedly good for some repeat business for you.

Another connection could be made with your dog groomer. She or he is in a business to make dogs look and feel good. So are you.

As you see, your home business can become a resounding success simply by making a connection here and there to related retailers of whatever goods you market.

Still, another example is that of the notary public who does a home business. Notaries are always in constant demand. Many business transactions have to be notarized.

Although banks, law offices, and even some medical offices might have their own notaries. But, what if someone gets sick or is a no show? It does happen.

Have you ever had to make the mad dash around to find a notary public?

Here is where always passing out your business card with any excuse helps out. You have the service that someone needs when they need it.

When a transaction did not originate in a local office, but instead originated via the Internet, you are needed.

See why getting the name of your home business out there is the connection you will need to make in order to be called in when there is a need?

This is the same for all businesses, by the way. Understand? Good. Let us keep going.

For example, think of ways that your notary business is different from the way the notary at the local law office does business.

High odds are, the law office notary is also a legal secretary, paralegal, or relief receptionist. Count on it.

Having her or him leave the office is next to impossible. The transaction cost is too low.

While you, on the other hand, are free to travel to a signing, a clients business, or even th fashion jackets online e courthouse. The trick is to be available.

Make sure that you talk to the lawyer and the human resources manager at the local law firm and make that connection.

Let them have your card for service, with lots of your contact information on it, when they are in a pinch.

Home business connections are worth money to you if you persistently pursue and search for them.

The Jackets And Vents Of A Suit

Most suit jackets have a variety of inner pockets, and two main outer pockets, which are generally either patch pockets, flap pockets, or jetted pockets.

The patch pocket is, with its single extra piece of cloth sewn directly onto the front of the jacket, a sporting option, sometimes seen on summer linen suits, or other informal styles. The flap pocket is standard for side pockets, and has an extra lined flap of matching fabric covering the top of the pocket. A jetted pocket is most formal, with a small strip of fabric taping the top and bottom of the slit for the pocket. This style is most often on seen on formal wear, such as a dinner jacket.

In addition to the standard two outer pockets, some suits have a third, the ticket pocket, usually located just above the right pocket and roughly half as wide. While this was originally exclusively a feature of country suits, used for conveniently storing a train ticket, it is now seen on some town suits. Another country feature also worn some times in cities is a pair of hacking pockets, which are s fashion coats imilar to normal ones, but slanted. This was originally designed to make the pockets easier to open on horse back while hacking.

Suit jackets in all styles typically have three or four buttons on each cuff, which are often purely decorative. Five buttons are unusual, but are a modern fashion innovation. The number of buttons is primarily a function of the formality of the suit; a very casual summer sports jacket might have traditionally have had only one button, while tweed suits typically have three and city suits four. In the 1970s, two buttons were seen on some city suits. Today, four buttons are common on most business suits and even casual suits.

Although the sleeve buttons usually cannot be undone, the stitching is such that it appears they could. Functional cuff buttons may be found on high end or bespoke suits, which is called a surgeon's cuff. Some wearers leave these buttons undone to reveal that they can afford a bespoke suit, although it is proper to leave these buttons done up. Modern bespoke styles and high end off the rack suits have the last two buttons stitched off center, so that the sleeve hangs more cleanly should the buttons ever be undone.

A cuffed sleeve has an extra length of fabric folded back over the arm, or just some piping or stitching above the buttons to allude to the edge of a cuff. This was popular in the Edwardian era, as a feature of formal wear such as frock coats carried over to informal wear, but is now rare.

A vent is a slit in the bottom rear of the jacket. Originally, vents were a sporting option, designed to make riding easier, so are traditional on hacking jackets, formal coats such as a morning coat, and, for reasons of pragmatism, overcoats. Today there are three styles of venting, which include the single vented style, vent less style, and the double vented style. Vents are convenient, particularly when using a pocket or sitting down, to improve the hang of the hang of the jacket, so are now used on most jackets. Vent less jackets are associated with Italian tailoring, while the double vented style is typically British.

Suit jackets with belts on them became popular after World War I, especially on the exaggerated jazz suits, which were popular in 1920 and 1921. After 1921, a more subdued style prevailed in which the belt was placed solely on the back of the coat, a half belted back. This continued on many suit coats throughout the 1920s and early 1930s, usually on very fashionably made suits for the young. This style made a brief come back in the 1970s when some suit coats again featured belts on the back.

Survival Tips For Deer Hunting

There are times when even the best of woodsmen are forced to spend a night in the wilderness. A man might travel so far into the woods after a deer that it might be unsafe or impractical for him to try to find his way to the camp in the darkness. He might become lost as to direction, and prefer to camp out instead of risking the chance of becoming more confused by aimless traveling.

If, for any reason, it is necessary to spend the night in the woods, a knowledge of some of the fundamentals of woodcraft will aid in the comfort and even the survival of the lost person.

People seldom become lost on a day when the sun is shining, so the chances are that cold, wet or stormy weather has to be dealt with.

Fire is the most important item in the camp. The hearth is the symbol of the home and nothing does more to make a man feel at ease in the woods than a good fire. Build it against a fallen tree or a dead stub so that there will be a back-log to hold the heat.

Gather as large a supply of dry limbs and down-wood as possible, because an open fire can use a surprising amount of fuel in a night and it is no fun to hunt for it in the dark. Gather anything which might burn and which can be dragged.

Sometimes a man will be caught with no dry matches or other conventional means of starting a fire. In such cases it is possible to borrow a page from the days of the flint-lock, when the hunter would use his gun as a fire starter. This modern adaptation should not be used except in an emergency, but it is usually effective.

The fire should be located with the thought of some sort of shelter in mind. A shelter is almost a must on a stormy night. A log at the back is better than nothing. A vertical ledge or rock is better and a small cave is probably the best of all natural shelters. Lacking a natural shelter, a brush lean-to can be made.

Before a person retires for the night, the boots should be removed and the socks dried, if such a thing is possible. Usually the feet will be warmer if the boots are left off during the night. The arms should be removed from the coat sleeves and the coat buttoned with the arms and hands inside next to the body. Sleep should be possible as long as the fire continues to burn.

Many people are afraid to sleep in the snow without a fire for fear of freezing while they are asleep. This fear will sometimes cause a person to continue to travel until he is exhausted and in such a case there is real danger if he should try to sleep or rest in the cold. If a man is in good health, properly dressed and conditioned to cold weather, and camps before he becomes too tired, it is possible for him to resist the effects of low temperature.

After the lost hunter has spent the night in the woods, he should try to orient himself in the morning. This should not be hard to do if the sun is shining fashion coats . He should not trust to instinct, but should reason things out. Even if the sun seems to be somewhere else, it must be in the east, so there is one sure direction. The other points of the compass should be easy to figure.

This information is of no value unless the lost person knows the direction in which he left camp or the direction of the road which runs by the camp. If these things are not known, it is best to remain in the temporary camp and wait for aid, keeping plenty of damp wood on the fire as a signal to searchers.
