What is Style?
In the process of working on the upcoming documentary Advanced Style, I have been thinking a lot about what motivates people to dress up. I was struck by the quote above while reading Lisa Cohen's book on the lives of three extraordinary women. For me, dressing up was always encouraged by my parents and grandparents. They saw it as an act of meaning and importance. My grandfather always said, "The way you dress is how the world sees you."
When I am walking around the city and looking for people to photograph, my eye is drawn to many different things. Sometimes it's a wonderful jacket, an exquisite hat, a knowing face, or a confident stance. What is most important to me is that the photos tell a story -- that they express a sense of vitality and spirit. I am not a style expert, nor am I a fashion critic. I only seek to present a positive and inspired look at aging and style and show that many wonderful things exist beyond middle age.
Style means something different to each person who gets up in the morning and decides how they are going to look. While some may consider it a means of celebrating the self, a fight against invisibility, or an act of creative expression, others may simply get dressed without putting much thought into it. Motivation aside, for the people I photograph, style is a reflection and example of the care, passion, and energy that they invest and express in their daily lives.

Style is idiosyncratic and personal. It is not 'good taste' which is a social description. Many stylish women defy convention.
Viva the individual!
Thanks, Ari, for showcasing women who are unique!

Style in my opinion is the sense of confidence and belief in oneself/ and an appearance we know is pleasing to ourself and to the world.

Yes-so true. Style does mean something different to each person and I think that is a good thing.

Thank you for your thoughts Ari. Style to me is an expression of my personality; I love to feel elegant and luxurious no matter what I am wearing. The feel of the material against my skin is as important as the colour and shape and the way it sits on my body. I also think style is expressed in the way one moves and expresses ideas. I admire those women and men who take the time to express their own style through their unique personalities.

Beautifully written, Ari. I love your newest photos, but your mini-essay here really puts the icing on the cake. I am going to dress up today, yes I am!

my mother always said that dressing yourself appropriately is a sign of respect for others. I have taken that a little farther and think that it is a sign of self-respect as well. Love your blog, always have. I aspire to be one of these well dressed ladies!

This is a beautiful post, the lady, the quote, Ari Set Cohen's words, everything. The quote in particular made alot of thoughts I had been having about this subject gel in my mind. I hope its allright but I loved the quote so much that I borrowed it for my Style/Life blog site. http://stylecomesfromlife.com/2013/01/26/day-twenty-six-design-on-the-hoof/ Thank you so much Ari Seth Cohen for initiating such an important discussion. Fashion cant save a person totally but it can sure help!

I find that a lot of my outfits and style are inspired from men (60+) who dont really think to much about what they put on but still manage to look so stylish and unique. Oh, did I mention that I am a girl in my twenties? My point is that inspiration often comes from people who have experienced life :)

Ari I was chatting with my 26 year old son the other day and found out that he loves your blog . I was surprised to say the least but also delighted. He writes a blog for "Pugnacious George" and so keeps himself well versed in all the style blogs . He supported my aspiration to age stylishly!!

Love your idea of style 'telling a story' and showing off 'vitality and energy'. The lovely lady in the photo is both striking and genteel - appreciated:)

In the 1960s, during the construction of Interstate 5 through Camp Pendleton, Bill Taylor told the construction boss to let him know if crews dug up anything that looked historical. They brought him a bone that turned out to be from an ancient mammoth. Mr. Taylor saw to it that the bone was preserved.
Today it is on exhibit with other artifacts in the base's Santa Margarita Ranch House museum.
Preservation and conservation were at the heart of Mr. Taylor's three-decade long tenure at Camp Pendleton.
He was hired as ranch manager at Camp Pendleton in 1948 and became the first civilian to head the base's natural resources office, managing 125,000 acres, which at one time included 40,000 sheep, cattle and 6,000 acres of crops.
He worked for 18 base commanding generals over his 27-year career at Camp Pendleton, and he's included in the base's oral history.
Mr. Taylor died March 30 from complications after a fall near his Vista home, which he built in 1951. He was 100.
"He was the father of environmental stewardship at Camp Pendleton," said Maj. David Roen, environmental compliance branch head at Marine Corps Installations West.
Mr. Taylor kept the purchase deed for Camp Pendleton in his desk and was known for watching over the base's land and animals as if they were his own.
He received a conservation award in 1972 from the Department of Defense. The accolade landed him on the CBS Evening News.
"For many decades, he worked hard to maintain the delicate balance between the needs of the Marine Corps and the environment aboard the base. He was a true friend of both," said Col. Richard Rothwell, president of the Camp Pendleton Historical Society.
Mr. Taylor helped rescue the California least tern from extinction by installing a fence in areas where they nested.
In the 1960s, he started the process of registering the-then 100-year-old Las Flores Adobe as a national landmark.
"I was in charge of conservation of the land, but it expanded into a heck of a lot more," Mr. Taylor told a U-T reporter in 2007. "You wouldn't believe what I got involved in."
Bill Taylor's favorite story was about how the American bison got on base in the early 1970s.
The San Diego Zoo called him to find out if the base could take a few buffalo.
"Well, I went up and told Maj. Gen. Herman Poggemeyer Jr., the base's commanding general at the time, and he said, 'Can we handle it?' I said, 'Yeah, sure we can'," Taylor said in an interview last December for Camp Pendleton's oral history.
When the bison were ready to be unloaded at the Case Springs reservoir on base, Mr. Taylor asked Poggemeyer whether he wanted to come out to see the herd. He did. "I handed the general a cattle-prod … he went up and chased the bison out."
"Whenever he gave talks at the Vista Historical Society, he kept everyone's attention," said Jack Larimer, director of the Vista Historical Museum.
Mr. Taylor was born June 23, 1912, in Redondo Beach to Jane and David M. Taylor, both Scottish immigrants.
Summer vacations with his family in the Sierra Nevada inspired Mr. Taylor to become a forest ranger.
Survivors include his wife of 74 years, Mildred E. Taylor of Vista; son Matthew Taylor of La Mesa; and daughter Linda Willingham of Scripps Ranch.

Photograph by George Steinmetz, National Geographic
Photograph courtesy George Steinmetz
Best known for his exploration and science photography, George Steinmetz sets out to reveal the few remaining secrets in our world today: remote deserts, obscure cultures, and new developments in science and technology.
A regular contributor to National Geographic magazine, Steinmetz has examined subjects ranging from global oil exploration and the latest advances in robotics to the innermost stretches of the Sahara and the little-known tree house people of Irian Jaya, Indonesia. For the German and French editions of GEO magazine, he has documented the Salt Desert of Iran and crossed the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia. He also received a grant from the National Science Foundation to photograph the polar desert of Antarctica.
Since his first assignment for National Geographic in 1987, Steinmetz has completed more than 20 major essays for the magazine, including three covers.
Steinmetz's expeditions to the Sahara and Gobi deserts were featured on National Geographic Explorer TV in 1998 and 2002. In addition to editorial work, Steinmetz also does corporate and advertising photography. His commercial clients include Toshiba, Union Bank of Switzerland, General Motors, and Sigma Camera, among others.
Steinmetz has won numerous awards for photography during his career, including two first prizes in science and technology in 1995 and 1998 from World Press Photo. He has also won awards and citations from Pictures of the Year, Overseas Press Club, and the Alfred Eisenstaedt Awards.
His first book, African Air, is a compilation of ten years of flying in Africa, much of it done with a motorized paraglider. This experimental aircraft is the lightest and slowest motorized flying machine in the world and offers a unique perspective over remote landscapes. His second book, The Empty Quarter, documents three expeditions into the heart of Arabia, where he traversed the world's largest sand sea.
Born in Beverly Hills, California, in 1957, Steinmetz graduated from Stanford University with a degree in geophysics. He began his career in photography by hitchhiking through Africa for 18 months. Today he lives in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, with his wife and their three children.

Vol State students now have more pathways for guaranteed credit transfer
Submitted on February 28, 2012 at 9:16 AM
The number of four-year colleges and universities participating in the Tennessee Transfer Pathway is growing. It was recently announced that a number of private schools will be joining the Tennessee state universities.
That's good news for current and future Vol State students. The Tennessee Transfer Pathway means that community college students who want to complete a bachelor's degree have a guarantee that their credits will transfer to a public university in Tennessee, and certain private schools, if they choose one of 50 different majors offering transfer pathways.
It's easy to find out what programs are included for Vol State students and where those programs transfer, just visit the web site. We have a link to that site on this page and a new video that explains how the program works: www.volstate.edu/pathways
Here's the latest list of participating colleges and universities:

Even though an all star game is generally not the best place to scout players, this event is slightly different, as both the Philly and DC contingents don't want to lose and resultantly, should play to win; to the victor goes regional bragging rights. ...More...

I was delighted to see this gentleman just I stopped off the Subway platform at Roosevelt Island. I photographed him last September, in a similarly colorful orange suit. He told me, " The young men, don't do what I do" and that he dresses up everyday and matches everything down to his socks and shoes. He has been doing this for over 35 years and has been featured in Esquire magazine. I took a small video of him above, and even though it is hard to hear what he is saying, you can sense the joy he takes in dressing from his great smile and charm.

Pakpour Consulting Group Leads Municipal Civil Engineering with Ongoing Carbon Neutrality
Pakpour Consulting Group believes that environmental stewardship is everyone's responsibility, and as civil engineers tasked with providing safe, clean water and air to the communities it serves, PCG chose to be at the forefront of the fight against global warming and hope to lead other civil engineering firms to follow suit so it can become the first industry to achieve carbon neutrality.
"As a certified green business in Alameda County, going to a zero carbon footprint was the natural next step for us. Environmental stewardship is everyone's responsibility, and as civil engineers tasked with providing safe, clean water and air to our communities we should be at the forefront of the fight against global warming," stated Joubin Pakpour, P.E., president of Pakpour Consulting Group. "We hope other civil engineering firms will follow suit so we can become the first industry to achieve a zero footprint."
"Carbonfund.org's mission is to improve the world by helping people reduce their environmental footprint. Their goal is to provide a forum for the massive and growing, but mostly unconnected majority of people – whether they think of themselves as citizens or business people, parents or consumers, activists or theorists who want to do the right thing. Action is impossible without information. Pakpour Consulting Group is proud to be working with Carbonfund.org."
Pakpour Consulting Group provides comprehensive municipal civil engineering design and construction management services for a wide variety of public projects. Services include serving as contract district engineer, water distribution systems engineering, civil plan review, transportation engineering, sewer and storm drainage design, hydrology studies, program management services, constructability review and construction management.
Since 2007, Pakpour Consulting Group has monitored, measured and ultimately neutralized its environmental footprint. Pakpour Consulting Group offsets the carbon emissions used in producing its supplies such as paper and packaging and its office electricity by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction, clean air technology and forest preservation projects. In the past five years, Pakpour Consulting Group has neutralized over 500,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions through Carbonfund.org – the same quantity of emissions produced by the average passenger car driving almost 550,000 miles.
"As part of this process we scrutinized almost all of our day to day operations and through innovative approaches, we now recycle 80% of our waste and have reduced our paper usage by 13% while the company has doubled in size," stated Pakpour.
In addition to the operational emissions measurement, reduction and mitigation, Pakpour Consulting Group is helping to restore the natural resources used to manufacture paper and other office supplies through tree planting, watershed restoration and conservation projects. Carbonfund.org appreciates the commitment to environmental leadership and action that Pakpour Consulting Group continues to demonstrate through these company-wide efforts.
Land Escapes Design Creates Sustainable Landscaping into Everyday Getaways
Spring is here – weekend warriors are out in droves, trying to create a special oasis in their back yards. Homeowners in the greater Boston area with a yen for natural and easy-care landscaping have an advantage – they can have their own "everyday getaway" with the help of Land Escapes Design Inc.
Land Escapes brings a passion for the natural world to environmentally friendly, low-maintenance landscape designs and custom cutting edge floral inspirations. They'll help create an "everyday getaway" in your outdoor living space, a sanctuary where you can unwind, relax, entertain and enjoy your natural surroundings.
Land Escapes is serious about its commitment to the environment, for client landscaping designs and for its own business operations. A Carbonfree® Business Partner for the past five years, Land Escapes makes an annual donation to Carbonfund.org each year to neutralize the carbon footprint from its operations. Over those five years, Land Escapes has mitigated the impact of almost 350,000 pounds of carbon emissions, the amount of greenhouse gases sequestered by 4000 tree seedlings planted and grown over a ten-year period.
"Carbonfund.org has helped us achieve our sustainability goals in two ways. The first is by ensuring that our donation goes toward worthy necessary causes to heal our planet and help offset our portion of the damage done," explains Trevor Smith, Principal of Land Escapes Design. "The other is by helping us assure our clients that we mean what we say and practice what we preach. By having the Carbonfund.org logo on our site and literature clients and potential clients alike can be sure they are making a wise choice and choosing a company with a conscience, concerned with the role they play in the world. Having the Carbonfund.org logo also helps us set the bar for our peers and competition as well causing them to rethink their roles."
Land Escapes specializes in landscape design, water features, rain harvesting systems and rain gardens, living wall and living roof systems, as well as complete event design for all occasions and seasonal decorating.
Land Escapes Design partners with its landscaping clients to design unique "everyday getaways" and partners with Carbonfund.org to ensure that its own operations do no harm to the natural environment it seeks to enhance.
Six-Year CarbonFree® Partner Flavorus Changing the Way the World Sells Tickets
2013 marks the sixth consecutive year that Flavorus, one of the world's largest event tickets distributor, has maintained a CarbonFree® Business environment. With global awareness of the environment at critical mass, Flavorus changed every aspect of its operations to give the Earth its due TLC. First, they cleaned up their own house: reducing waste, implementing aggressive recycling efforts, replacing incandescent lighting, and a host of other modifications to its daily operational practices. Then Flavorus asked the same of their clients by promoting their paperless will-call ticket delivery and order placement. Finally, Flavorus has taken the progressive step to neutralize its remaining carbon footprint for the past six years by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction and clean air technology projects around the world.
"Since its inception 10 years ago, Flavorus has looked for progressive business practices. We are proud to be the first in our industry to make environmental responsibility part of our identity," explains Todd Sims, CEO.
Flavorus uses a high volume "Jetstream" application that can process 150,000 tickets in 10 seconds per event. Clients also can customize their Flavorus event page to match the company's own website and marketing style, and can embed ticket sales system directly into website with custom widgets. And Flavorus features e-ticketing, which reduces the labor, paper, mailing and costs associated with printing and mailing tickets to buyers.
"Our transformation involved three critical phases: cleaning up our operations, bringing our customers and clients on board, and partnering with a carbon offset organization to help fund environmental projects around the globe," emphasizes Sims. "With focus and determination, every individual can make a difference and reverse the damage being done to the environment. We only have one planet, and we're committed to keeping it green."
Carbonfund.org is thrilled to continue our partnership with Flavorus and encourages every business to examine the steps they can take today to help protect our environment by reducing and neutralizing harmful carbon emissions.

Another poll thread that shows how much players want to see garrosh gone....

It is kinda bloody obvious after the first 4 polls that only a tiny amount of the playerbase actually gives a damn about garrosh...
Darkspear Rebellion
Another poll thread that shows how much players want to see garrosh gone....
Can you please stop making these?
It is kinda bloody obvious after the first 4 polls that only a tiny amount of the playerbase actually gives a damn about garrosh...
Stonetalon Mountains Garrosh I would follow to death. Stonetalon Mountains Garrosh is the Garrosh that Thrall saw when he appointed him to Warchief.
"My fellow Horde... the blood haze has lifted. The demon's fire has burnt out in my veins... I have... freed... myself!"
And that stonetalon shit is litereally the ONLY THING anyone has in defense of Garrosh.
Ok, let me give another example. In comparison to another bad guy, anyone who ever saw the hunchback of notre dame (disneys) will know the villian in that movie, Judge Claude Frollo. He too was a character who was about racism, violence, greed, lust, and every vice you can think of.
Now Frollo had one scene of him about to kill quasimodo as a baby, but he's drawn back, not because he had a moment of humanity in him, but because he feared for his own soul if he killed a child, how god would look upon him for doing it.
And the character never changed from this experience, he instead carried on his plan of wiping out a group of people, attempted murder, he had already killed an innocent woman beforehand, arson, and in the end, he learned nothing and only gave into his lust, greed and malice.
Garrosh is the same sort of character, but just replace the concept of god with instead Garrosh trying to emulate his father, trying to 'make daddy proud'. Nothing Garrosh has ever done has truly been for the horde, it has always been his attempt to try and validate his existence, try and win his dead fathers approval, and thus making any twisted, nefarious act he committed validated on his personal level, nevermind the damage and death it caused to anyone else.
My conclusion? People need to stop looking to "good and evil" theme.
Garrosh is a proud douchebag with daddy issue. That doesn't make him evil, makes him a proud douchebag with daddy issue.
Could he been a better orc? Yes, but Magatha Grimtotem killed the one advisor that could set him right. Since then, the constant pushing back from Alliance led Garrosh more and more to tyranny.

We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"

Only as an Orc would I side with Garrosh, he's pretty much pissed off every other race but has done it to elevate the Orcs.
It would make sense that, if Garrosh was going to try to impress everyone, he would do things "the orc way" and try to show the might of the orcs. However, it's clear he simply took it too far at this point. Plus, his words have made himself many enemies.
Garrosh's ideal council of advisors would be an epic bunch of "yes man".

I would side with Garrosh for one reason only.
Garrosh is a strong supporter of World PVP and he would provide us dailies of killing Alliance players
all you spineless Garrosh hating pansies take your cuddly ideals and go join the alliance... take your bloodelves with you

View Recipe Fourth of July Bean Casserole Fourth of July Bean Casserole The outstanding barbecue taste of these beans makes them a favorite for cookouts all summer and into the fall. It's a popular dish with everyone—even kids. Having meat in with the beans is so much better than plain pork and beans. —Donna Fancher, Lawrence, Indiana View Recipe Cream Cheese and Swiss Lasagna Cream Cheese and Swiss Lasagna I like to fix the chunky meat sauce for this dish the day before, so the flavors can blend. It serves 12, unless you have big eaters who will definitely want seconds. —Betty Pearson, Edgewater, Maryland View Recipe Creamy Black Bean Salsa Creamy Black Bean Salsa I love sour cream on Mexican dishes, so I decided to add it to a salsa recipe. It always goes fast, so you may want to double the recipe. —Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon View Recipe Super Italian Chopped Salad Super Italian Chopped Salad Antipasto ingredients are sliced and diced to make this substantial salad. I like to buy sliced meat from the deli and chop it all up so you can get a bit of everything in each bite. —Kim Molina, Duarte, California View Recipe Chipotle Butternut Squash Soup Chipotle Butternut Squash Soup Using herbs and vegetables from the garden along with convenient pantry items makes this hearty soup easy and fast to fix.

"On busy days, I can put this main dish in the slow cooker and forget about it. My family likes it with mashed potatoes and fruit salad." View Recipe Almond Cheddar Appetizers Almond Cheddar Appetizers I always try to have a supply of these appetizers on-hand in the freezer. If guests drop in, I just pull some out and reheat to serve.

Comments On Nov 02, 2015:This was used for my wife's bike. It helps keep the wind off of her chest and in turn keeps her warmer. I'm 6'-3" and when I ride, the air coming off the top of the windshield just catches my adventure helmet. Sometimes this can create an annoying vibration in my helmet.
This would be a user specific issue due to my height. This windshield was easy to install and has been holding strong for almost two years now.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 02, 2014:Fit perfectly and very easy to install. Looks great and works well.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 27, 2013:This was installed on my bike by the PO, so I can't comment on the installation process. However, as someone who used it for a while, I can say that I like the way my bike rides much better without it than with it. There was definitely a large pocket of calm air behind the windshield, but the buffeting where the air hit my helmet was just too much for me to live with on the highway every day. Because this bolts directly to your number plate, it's only as stable and sturdy as the that mounting surface. Because the DR650 number plate is only held on by three bolts on the bottom half of it, wind hitting the shield was constantly making it deflect and change positions/angles. This meant that where the air was hitting me was constantly shifting as I rode down the highway. If your bike has a sturdier place to mount this windshield, this may work better for you than it did for me.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 12, 2011:At first I was not excited about drilling holes in my existing headlight/number plate due to concerns about the resulting add-on look and stability. Rest assured this shield looks like an OEM product and takes about 30 minutes to install, very sturdy.

Did Justin Bieber Put a Guy in the Hospital?
JUSTIN BIEBER is being accused of PUTTING A GUY IN THE HOSPITAL. (???)
--Here's the deal: Justin and SELENA GOMEZ were at a mall near his home in Calabasas, California on Sunday. As they were heading to their car, a paparazzi scumbag tried to take their picture.
--A scuffle ensued, and the photographer called 911. By the time police got there, Justin and Selena were gone. But the guy was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he was treated for pain to his upper torso.
--Police are investigating, and they want to talk to Justin and Selena.
--Now here's what witnesses had to say about the incident: The guy was blocking Justin's car and he asked him to move. When he wouldn't, Justin got out of his car and that's when things got physical.
--A lawyer who just happened to be on the scene walked up to the photographer after Justin left and advised him that he could make a nice wad of cash if he called an ambulance and filed a police report.
--Before you ask, there's no word exactly how the fight . . . or whatever it was . . . went down. Even with all these witnesses, there don't seem to be any details.
--From the pictures, it does look like Justin got into a physical altercation with the guy. Justin even loses his hat . . . and a shoe. He also has a BAD-ASS look on his face.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel Had an Engagement Party
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and JESSICA BIEL made it official Saturday with an engagement party at the home of Jessica's stylist.
--Guests included Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Amy Adams, Timbaland and Justin's N' Sync bandmates Lance Bass and JC Chasez. Jessica's parents were there, too.
--A source says, quote, "Jessica and Justin were mingling both separately and together throughout the party . . . [it] was a fun celebration and a preview of what's to come with the wedding."
Are Ashton and Demi Getting Back Together?
Are DEMI MOORE and ASHTON KUTCHER getting back together? The seeds for a reunion were allegedly sown last week during a birthday party for the man who officiated their wedding.
--Witnesses say they greeted each other with a, quote, "60-second embrace."
--A source adds, quote, "They are still desperately in love and could be on for a reconciliation. The divorce isn't being processed right now."
--Ashton also gave a speech for the guest of honor, during which he said, quote, "I've made all these horrendous mistakes in the last year."
--The source says, quote, "Ashton's voice started to break as he spoke. He just fell into tears. He sat down to a round of applause while Demi just looked frozen."
--Supposedly, Ashton and Demi have gotten together at least one or two other times this month to decide, quote, "where they go from here."
--A source says, quote, "They're by no means getting back together but equally no decision has been made to end things for good so everything is to play at this stage."
Lady Gaga Canceled Her Gig in Indonesia Over Security Concerns
LADY GAGA was supposed to perform in Indonesia this coming Sunday, but she canceled it over the weekend over security concerns.
--Local Muslim groups had been protesting the concert . . . and vaguely threatened "chaos" if she went through with it. They called Lady Gaga a "devil's messenger" who put on "pornographic" shows that would "destroy the country's morals."
--The protesters also threatened to mob the airport when she arrived, and said they obtained tickets to the show, so they could wreak havoc from inside.
--A "spokesman" for one of the groups said, quote, "We have gotten Lady Gaga tickets. Not to watch but for us to enter. Our target is to stop the concert . . . we would force them off the stage but not harm the audience." (!!!)
--The show was sold out, and a crowd of over 52,000 was expected.
--Lady Gaga posted this apology on Twitter: Quote, "There is nothing Holy about hatred . . . I'm so very sorry to the fans and just as devastated as you if not more . . . I'll try to put together something special for you. My love for Indonesia has only grown."
--For what it's worth, she offered to "tone down" her act . . . to the point where the concert would just be her alone on the stage . . . but apparently, that wasn't enough to satisfy the protesters.
"Men in Black 3" Beat "The Avengers" at the Memorial Weekend Box Office
It was aliens versus superheroes at the box office this weekend . . . and aliens came out on top. "Men in Black 3" is the new #1 movie in the country. It made $70 million in its first four days of release over the long Memorial Day weekend.
--Thanks to "MIB3", "The Avengers" was knocked out of the top spot, where it's been for the past three weeks. It still hit #2 with another strong $46.9 million haul.
--That raises its North American total to $524 million, and moves it up to number FOUR on the all-time list. It only needs $10 million before it overtakes the current #3 movie of all time, "The Dark Knight".

And as promised, history/working notes...
First Generation:
Primary focus of the area, farming. Central location with grain storage and mills as primary business. Transportation incoming from local farms, mostly outgoing on the river some on the kingdom road. Slaughterhouse/butchery as secondary, also providing leather for armour. There was a thriving woodcutting business during the beginning stages of development, but that is starting to taper off now that farmland has been cleared, and woodcutters are now having to travel too far for new wood since it's not that heavily forested here in the first place – and what is left is being viciously defended by bandits who use the trees for cover and living (The local constabulary has requested military forces to clear the bandits, but so far has not received any help). The land is reasonably fertile, and started off with the first few farmers living near each other pooling their resources to create a central collection point for their harvests on the kingdom road. The grain is collected at the stockpile on the west bank, and shipped downstream on barges.
Generation Two:
More farmers joined in, one ended up taking over the stockpile as fulltime responsibility, and became the first general store merchant. A few others became wealthy and began buying out neighbours and acting as landlords, with the largest landowner being considered a mayor/magistrate. Reasonably central close location so livestock pens and holding facilities were added for herds being moved to other locations, eventually developed their own slaughterhouse and meat processing facilities and became a destination rather than a waystation. A military outpost (10-15 men) has been established as a presence to remind the locals that they are still part of the kingdom. They help defend against bandit raids, but they are not strong enough to actively hunt them. The locals hope their reports will influence the nobles to send a larger force.
Generation Three:
Livestock was collected on both sides of the river with the south side being a holding pen for the ferry, north side being the primary. This has now been switched for defensive purposes as the west bank was more strategic, the slaughterhouse pens also being moved from the road so as not to be in the middle of the commercial district, temporary holding pens for cattle being moved to other destinations are still in the old western paddock.. Livestock is transported north along the road. The region is slowly being turned over to more pastures and less grains as the price of meat goes up in other areas of the kingdom.
Generation Four:
Now having become a full town, and beginning to prosper, it caught the attention of the nobles at court who sent a knight to ensure the lands were kept secure. He has built a manor house and has been given royal funds and stonemasons to replace the wooden palisades with stone walls to repel bandit raids which are on the rise. The frequency of the raids is starting to annoy the knight, who has begun training a force to actively hunt the bandits down. The bulk of military armaments are shipped in from elsewhere, though local craftsmen are producing good quality bows and arrows for export as well as local use. The local forge is more for repair than creation, with most tools imported.
Being rather devout, the knight offered incentives for his church to create a site, and used his personal fortune to expand the church to contain a small monastery.. This is now bringing more notoriety to the town as one of the monks turns out to have considerable artistic talent and is creating illuminated manuscripts of unusually high quality. This has begun pilgrimages to this area, and locals are beginning to take advantage of the pilgrimage trade. These manuscripts have caught the attention of the royal court as well, and another serious bandit incursion will likely see the pious king sending a regiment of troops to secure the area for once and for all.

Chris TuckerGulf Fritillary on Florida Elephant's Foot
Suwannee Ridge occupies 1,428 acres in southern Hamilton County, situated between Live Oak to the south, and Jasper to the north. The Suwannee River is located approximately one-mile south of the tract. Holton Creek Wildlife Management Area, managed by the Suwannee River Water Management District, forms the southern boundary. The area was established in 2002 through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Mitigation Park Program. A management goal at Suwannee Ridge is restoring the pinelands, altered by intensive timbering operations, to a longleaf pine-wiregrass community that will create habitat conditions beneficial to the gopher tortoise, Sherman's fox squirrel and other listed upland species. Visitors will witness first-hand how a fire management program and the planting of native trees and grasses work together to drive this exciting restoration effort.
Aerial photography from previous decades reveals that the area has been used predominantly for commercial timber production. Small areas of hardwood hammock and hardwood swamp associated with low-lying terrain and sinkhole depressions add diversity to the landscape and hint at the area's proximity to the forested floodplain of the nearby Suwannee River. The area welcomes visitors for hiking and wildlife viewing. Activities such as horseback riding, bicycling, and fishing are allowed on the adjacent Holton Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Special hunts for the disabled are held for several days in the fall and spring, in conjunction with Holton Creek WMA. Suwannee Ridge is closed to other users during these periods.

These audio amps have already been chosen by several automotive audio makers for both boosters and head units, thanks to:
- High amplification efficiency ratings
- Robust automotive design with integrated protection against overstresses, such as short circuits, ESD, load dump, or over-temperature
- A very advanced diagnostic processor
- A proprietary feedback loop architecture, addressing the need for lower system cost and electromagnetic emissions
- Fully digital processing
- Ability to drive very low impedance speakers (as low as 1 ohm)
- Compliance with new stop/start engine and hybrid engine standards
FDA4100LV, FDA450LV and FDA2100LV class D automotive audio amplifiers
Class D amplifiers achieve about 80% higher energy efficiency than analog class AB amplifiers. This greater efficiency helps reduce the electrical load on the alternator and can allow extra functions or speaker channels within standardized enclosure dimensions. Historically, cost, pc-board size and EMI issues have confined automotive class D applications to high-power booster amplifiers. Overcoming these barriers, ST's full-digital amplifier ICs now allow popular in-car equipment to deliver powerful high-quality audio experiences.
ST's new audio amplifiers also enhances the audio performance of high-power boosters and integrates circuitry to allow continuous, undistorted playback in vehicles using stop-start engine technology, or in hybrid vehicles as the electrical traction drives and combustion engine switch between various operating modes.As the first devices of their kind to feature an integrated digital input, the 4 x 135 W FDA4100LV, the 4 x 50 W FDA450LV and the 2 x 180 W FDA2100LV require no signal conversion or filtering circuitry, saving pc-board space and component count. In addition, engineering challenges such as EMI reduction are addressed inside the chips. ST's patented feedback loop saves the need for a large output filter, and also allows use in diverse OEM and aftermarket products by reducing dependence on speaker type. Patented features reduce electro-magnetic interference with the tuner and also simplify end-product certification to automotive electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards CEI EN 55025 and ISO 11452-2 (2004).
