road.jpg Tim Gunn does an interview with Time Out and talks about his favorite New York moment: “We had just wrapped the taping of Project Runway season two.

On Bastille Day 2005, I was in my office and received a call from Lauren Zalaznick telling me we had been nominated for an Emmy. I went screaming down the halls to see the producers, who were a floor below me, shouting at the top of my lungs, ‘We’ve been nominated for an Emmy! We’ve been nominated for an Emmy!’ I remember it vividly. And one of the things I was most pleased about was, ‘Take that, Seventh Avenue snarkiness. Take that!'”

Scientists aboard a research ship that has sailed the entire length of Russia’s northern coast have discovered intense concentrations of methane – sometimes at up to 100 times background levels – over several areas covering thousands of square miles of the Siberian continental shelf.”
