HISTORY unwraps the surprising origins of Yuletide customs in…
THE REAL STORY OF CHRISTMAS Premieres on Wednesday, November 29 at 9 pm ET on HISTORY(R)
Note: As an observant commenter noted, this day/date combination is incorrect in the original History press release.
November 8, New York, NY – Why do we prop trees up in our living rooms and exchange gifts every December? What exactly is a Yule log? Where did Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer come from?
From Santa to stockings, many modern Christmas traditions originated in ancient times. In fact, the true story of Christmas in the 21st century bears little resemblance to the holly-jolly tales we cherish today. THE REAL STORY OF CHRISTMAS, a new one-hour special premiering on Wednesday, November 29 at 9 pm on HISTORY, looks across 2,000 years of history to explore the sacred and secular influences that gave rise to the Christmas we know today – and makes sense of the holiday rituals we perform each December.
As THE REAL STORY OF CHRISTMAS shows, many of our seemingly innocent customs evolved from strange, surprising or even disturbing beginnings. With its roots in the Pagan celebration of the winter solstice, early Christmas was both a day of prayer and festival of drunken revelry. Rowdy medieval carolers begged for food and drink, threatening to throw rocks through the windows of those who refuse. Christmas was actually banned for years in America during the 16th and 17th centuries. And the Santa of old world legend was accompanied not by elves but by a devil named Krampus who beat and kidnapped naughty children.
THE REAL STORY OF CHRISTMAS joins HISTORY?s lineup of fall specials exploring the connections between modern holidays and early history, including THE REAL STORY OF HALLOWEEN and THE REAL STORY OF THANKSGIVING.
THE REAL STORY OF CHRISTMAS is produced for HISTORY by Workaholic Productions. Matthew Hickey and Luke Ellis are the Executive Producers for Workaholic Productions. Susan E. Leventhal is the Executive Producer for HISTORY.

THOUSANDS of seadogs arrived on Harwich Quay for the annual Sea Festival.
Organised by the Harwich and Dovercourt Rotary Club, Harwich RNLI and the Harwich Harbour Board, a range of stalls and activities lined the roads to raise money for various local charities.
Along with live music throughout the day, duck racing, and a tug boat display, the magnificent Sea King helicopter swooped down in front of the awe-struck crowds to perform an imitation rescue.
There was also a stunning array of Rolls Royces lined up for visitors to admire.
The festival was opened by mayor Alan Todd, Rotary Club president John Wade and a Henry VIII impersonator provided by Trinity House.
Mr Wade said: "As far as I am concerned it went wonderfully."

Factors behind international relocation and changes in production geography in the European automobile components industry
This article analyses business strategies in the automobile sector to determine the key factors behind production relocation processes in automobile components suppliers. These factors help explain changes in production geography in the sector not only in terms of location advantages but also from a perspective of corporate strategies and decision-making mechanisms within firms. The results obtained from an empirical study in Spain during the period 2001-2008 show how the components sector has used relocation to meet the requirements for efficiency imposed by automobile manufacturers. The search for lower labour costs, production concentration and specialisation in order to obtain economies of scale and improved productivity are found to be the main factors determining relocation in the sector. These processes are facilitated by the operational flexibility of the multinational firms that dominate the sector which allows them to transfer resources internationally. Lean supply, technological requirements for production processes and the integration of production plants in the institutional environment are the main barriers to such processes of mobility, and may also determine the geographical destination of migrated production.

Top Ten Best Need for Speed Gamesmoose4life19
The Top Ten
The best Game 4 ever. I say it and I have right because the graphics are so cool, the cars the same and the rivals are good you need to work to be the best not to do one race then finish the game. xD This game is so cool
This game really cool good graphics and very cool cars lamborghini, audi and many more
By far the best nfs of all. The driving was easily the best of any nfs also you could control your car! Games that try to be too realistic leave you with a car that's unnecessarily hard to control when I hop into my m3 I don't break the steering wheel making a left turn... Great races, free roam fr w/ cop chases, customizable cars and cops that gave you a challenge but couldn't arrest you by pulling up next to you, they actually had to stop you! Everything about this game was great only way to improve it would be to make it longer.
Lots of cars, lots of police, excellent graphics, great storyline, plenty customizations, many races, its the best racing game I've ever played!
Best Game in the WordV 577 Comments
Great gameplay, and you can't just skip to your events. The graphics were good, maybe not compared to games now, but for that time they were awesome! It was real street racing with the tuner cars that street racers would actually use, not just the whole exotic car bullcrap (even though those games are fun, too! ).
UG2 had the most customization of all the NFS games, a great soundtrack and probably also the best, and no crazy physics to deal with. If you turned the car, it turned. It didn't take a while to start turning nor did it suddenly spin out or oversteer. The car did what you want, when you wanted it to, and that's a lot more than most of the new NFS games can say. ALSO, it was the first NFS game to have a Free Roam mode, which was simply amazing when it first came out. In all honesty, this deserves to be the NFS game at the top of the list but I think the one reason why it isn't considered the best NFS game there is, is because there's no cops, and the graphics are now a little dated, or at least more so than Most Wanted. This game and Most Wanted were both the best NFS games ever made as well as the beginning of the end for the NFS series. EA (and NOT Critierion) need to make Underground 3 or make a modern version of Underground 2.
Plus, there was a good soundtrack, very detailed customizations. You could customize your mirrors, color your engine.. You could customize almost EVERYTHING on your car in this game. And once I unlock a new city, I cry in excitement. I never got to the end, but I hope someday, I play this game once more and reach the ending.
Drag racing, drifting, circuits, sprints.. It was also multiplayer! And it had this thing, were you could go to some race track thing and into a garage, and it would tell you your Wheel Drive. Like, Front Wheel, all wheel and rear wheel. And you could crash into cars and watch them fly. And in free roam, you could do that too, but in that mode, you could take scenic drives across the towns. You could also add under glows and there was this thing where you could take pictures for magazines! And there was this hydraulic thing. I don't remember what it was, but it was fun. Also, in the magazine pictures, you could open your hood, your trunk, and your other doors! ...more - airplain313
The cars in this game looked cool at the time but now they're just rice cars - StephanTheIdiotV 141 Comments
its nice... graphics quality is good
Great game, good graphics, but I think that is based on "Fast & Furious: Tokio Drift", beacuse its tracks have a lot of corners that makes you use the Handbrake.
Awesome Game! Better than Most Wanted because you could put as many stickers as you wanted.
Need for Speed carbon...its like an NFS mW 2. This deserves to be no.2. It had the three most recognised car categories; especially the muscle cars. U had better swap UG 2 with this gameV 140 Comments
Most complete NFS game of all times. Experience the reality and drive the most exclusive cars ever made. No tuning, just pure racing. Godlike!
Simply outstanding! Graphics, gameplay and content are just right. But best of all, it is what every game should be about in the first place, it's fun.
Ya its pretty cool.. Like the graphics.. And all the cars are just mindblowing.. If you want some race just go for it.. It is indeed the best nfs game so far..
Need for speed game should be like this.V 126 Comments
This game should at least be number two, all the great memory's that this game caused are enough despite the fact that it hasn't got that good graphics nowadays, it still pulls you into the game, it has great soundtracks and well about every pc/laptop can run it, there are loads of modifications you can add and it's the first one which also lead to need for speed becoming famous at all, which leads to all the other need for speeds, conclusion this NFS should be honored
I love this game my first need for speed given to me and its simply need for speed not the mumbo jumbo we got today this is legit the underground series is legit
This game should be second. Best modifications, good cars rather than the exotic cars you cannot afford. I would rather use a pimped up nissan skyline gt.
It is the BEST. PERIOD.V 46 Comments
Man this game has to be in the 1st place because there are many more cars than most wanted, has life-like graphics, you can also have the most wanted challenge series.
Man this should be in the 2nd place. This is so good... Lots of cars around to play with and the police maneuvers are like in real life...
This is the best game ever till now in Need for Speed history. It has got cool graphics, life - like racing, cars like lamborghini aventador, porsche carrera s,
Chevrolet camaro zl1 and many such cars. This game should be in the first place
Best game..brilliant story..best nfs..don't have grind of most wanted..more challenging than that game..although handling tough..but thoroughly enjoyed..especially last race..V 139 Comments
I have had every single need for speed yet, and I think most wanted 2012 is the best. The reason being is that the dynamics in the game are absolutely awesome, the speed is great and the cops are more aggressive than ever.
There are a few things that can be improved for example, the graphics and a few glitches within the game.
I think most wanted is probably the best need for speed, due to one of the facts that there are numerous astonishing cars in the game that do not require to be unlocked but just to be simply found. For the first time, there is a withe range of cars from muscle cars, to exotic cars, to super machines like the ariel atom and also 4x4 vehicles.
Another great aspect of this game is that you can switch from one car to another car just by pressing triangle or jumping straight to the car anywhere from the city. Moreover, when the next rival car is introduced ; the art work and animations are absolutely brilliant.
Excellent production from citreon ...more
Great graphics, great gameplay, great cars. I think this game is extremely realistic, as a lot of attention was paid to details for example civilian cars type of road surface ( tarmac, off road), and the surrounding area like the buildings. Also the free - roam city is just HUGE! You can mess with cops for hours. The only bad thing about this game is that it doesn't have so many modifications on the cars you get like it had on NFS Carbon for example, but mind this. The cars you get are mostly exotic or super with a few tuner and muscle cars. What really big modifications could someone do to a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 or a Koenigsgegg CCXR? Anyway, I believe this game is the best due to the fact that the cars handle so realistically and the speeds that you can achieve are exactly those you can achieve with those cars in real life. It is not the hardest NFS game but nor the easiest. It is very well balanced and super realistic.
This game has the best graphic and the best cars
This is the best need for speed game I ever played. its graphics, cars, terrain all are very goodV 129 Comments
Rivals is a brilliant, fast paced and tense game, which has combined the best elements from hot pursuit (2010) and most wanted (2012). Could do with a pause button, but apart from that it's incredible.
When it comes out it will be 1
Takes the best from the most recent Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit games and molds them together to make one hell of an experience.
THIS IS AMAZING BRADAV 58 Comments
It makes you feel like you're the one, the racer, the spy, the secret police, the one man army, introducing most wanted part2
The best ever NFS game till date. It's not only just a racing game but a mix of hot pursuit which really gets with a lot of chase.
Honestly, I have watched and played many racing games, and NFS games, and none of them is really really better than this one. Besides the graphics and availability of the cars, this game lacks nothing. This game features the actual "customization" rather than just color changing and tuning. For people who want to feel the "street racing" like in real life, this game is for you. Also, the fun part comes in when you are able to modify you cars. I think we have to give more credits on this game. In fact, I still play this game
Nostalgia.V 45 Comments
Best of the the classic NFS games. Especially the music, which is just this great Rock of the early 2000's.
Personally in my opinion, NFS HP2 is an example for how a NFS game has to be! It packs a lot of value into one package. However it seems that the PS2 version is better then the PC one, but the PC one ain't that bad either.
It was a great game not the best but a great race game it has good cars good graphics and wonderful gameplay nobody played this game and said it was bad because it isn't
The best cars and fun for the time, exciting races and chases ultimate thrill.
The cars, the music, the atmosphere, police chases AND playable police? How can one not like this game?V 39 Comments
The Contenders
This can be downloaded for free! You can play even you don't have money to buy almost every cars but if you want, sure. So many places to drive-in and discover. You can also look at the hundreds of cars to choose from! 3D, fast-based and a long running NFS game. They actually update the game almost every week! For me, one of the most fun and exciting game ever made!
Most wanted would never beat this because it has carbon mixed in with it, my name is yspaceicufo add me please! Only 1 more person. Anyway, it might have carbon canyon on it and rockport. - themaster2
The best car-racing social experience ever! A bad thing that it has been ceased.
BY FAR THIS IS THE BEST NFS EVAAA - favouredlist314V 17 Comments
The best balance between realism and fun. The first NFS game with a decent physics model, you felt horrified driving that 911 turbo or Moby Dick.
It's the only game in the NFS series where the race can't be restarted or aborted, and you gotta repair your damages. This added tons to the risk feeling, making you drive to your limits but not exceeding them. Almost giving you the feeling that the car is really yours and you don't wanna crash it. I've never felt that way in any other racing game.
The "factory driver" mode was far from perfect, and there a few bugs here and there, but it's still my favorite
I can't believe this is just on 11. This is the best one in my opinion, amazing driving and amazing cars. And landscapes are still great in 2012. I enjoyed this one so much. - thomaskop
It gives you real feel of racing, amazing control, good graphics and actual damage.
Best simulation game ever. It has got a nearly perfect simulation physics. The game is challenging & very professional.V 21 Comments
I found this Need For Speed to be very good in fact, on par with its predecessor. I have never been fond of the direction the Need For Speed took after the first Underground, the games were too much arcade-like. This one is not and even though it often posses enough challenge, it still is a great fun.
Real Driving Experience! :')
ILoveItSoMuch! (Y)
Slighlty Mad Studios, You Really Rock! M/
It's a great game with good gameplay
Nice story mode!
It;s so good you must play it!
The Speed and realizm, just jaw dropping. Not arcade-easy like most nfs titlesV 12 Comments
The reason why I think this game is cool because it is one of the longest need for speed games games and it has great graphics and cool cars and mean ass modifications for your cars.
This game us one of the best nfs games out there. There is an awesome storyline and great career mode autoscuplt is really cool and there is a variety of races the best being speed challenge
It has difficulty but excitement in it. it had many cars, extreme action and mystery.
Racing in this game is one of the most fun in the series. Some might say the lack of cops ruin the game, but that's more of a preference. Also, this game likely has the best customization in the series.V 27 Comments
Awesome game... Improves great driving skills... Good cars, good graphics n a lot of fun competing with great opponents... Really cool! Try this game... Its worth it...
Best nfs game in my opinion. Its so realistic none of those new nfs games have such a high level of realism.
Cool Game the best simulation game I ever played
I hate it... I tried the lite version on my Xbox 360 and it sucks, because Icant even change the view, and my screen is just flashing because I crash purposely a lot.V 3 Comments
This game has everything you need about cars. Pictures from cockpit, slideshows and lots of things. Gameplay is very good too. And it has the kind of music what a race game should have.
For a 1998 game, this game sure is a masterpiece.
the first cop introduction - moose4life19
This is game best for Need For Speed series soundtrack good and graphic good the 1998 really awesome gameplay and even a car just 100 percent
The best of all need for speed games.V 2 Comments
This is the best by far, of course its down the list cause its old no respect this game is amazing, music, racing, difficulty, gambling your car, dealing with the damage repairs, how weather completely alters the gameplay. to be honest there is no comparison in later games
Having owned most of the need for speeds this was my favorite. People forget it because it is sandwiched between the Hot Pursuits, hasn't been remade and is pre underground, but it was the best iteration of Hot Pursuit, deeper than its sequel, more polished than HP. No way porsche unleashed should be beating it. I owned both. Also more fun than Shift. I owned or played every game listed above this save Carbon, and would rank this ahead of all of them.
Being able to drive police traffic police cars, like Crown Victorias, Caprices and Eagle Talons is a touch that only Need for Speed 4 has really delivered well. Also, the idea of a 5 member police squad and being able to switch between the cars was genius!
Dumb kids dunno what to play.V 10 Comments
This is the best because it had the best track designs, innovated car damage, had interesting races. It was more of a simulator than an arcade racing game. I'd put this up in the Top 10, because this is what made the Need For Speed series.
Just bought it today lol - TealBoyxx
Insane arcade game that doesn't feel like Burnout! (Wich is good)
You also have the option to play in less arcadish physics in simulation game style. This game was a just about the true racing experince with exotic cars and exotic tracks, things that recent NFS lacks! Crash here is very dangerous and you can actually spin and roll your car, crashing in MW and Carbon is like nothing compared to this!
Best NFS of all time cause it gives you non forgot experience as you are driving in real life with fastest cars in the world and no stupid tuning.
- Best tracks
- Best cars in the world
- Best experience
- Best Music
- Best Interior view
It's cartoony :D I like cartoon-styled games!
The muscle cars have nice roofs! I like it
I love the gameplay and it is very fun
I had this game for my wii back in the day, and wow it was fun. a must buy for SUREV 4 Comments
Now that the game is out, there is many cars to choose from (In the beginning you only have 3 to choose from which is good for starting out in my opinion), it's true what others say about bringing back customization like Underground and police chase like Most Wanted (Even that underground is considered rice nowadays, which the type of customization should not be compared with the current in the game). When it was launched, in rare occasions when passing a cop lets just say at 15mph, they will go and pull you over/pursuit (one con).
Honestly, there is no suprise this game did'int even make the top 10, they could've added way more cars, not to mention the "3" free dlc whips added later on, and the map had much more potential than just the downtown region, plus the customizations we're sort of limited, there we're so many applicable parts that could've been added to most cars, it just felt repeatable with ever piece of setup, in my opinion rivals tops this by a long shot by vehicle inventory, dlc, and map expansion
Played it's an amazing game but don't have much cars I hope they do an update to bring more cars to the game

If you want your game engine to be 100 per cent real time, your only option is the CryEngine, according to Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli. In an interview with Develop, Yerli stated that his studio's engine is the only one "on the planet" that is 100 per cent real time.
"CryEngine is the engine you consider when you think of next generation development," Yerli told Develop.
"We are actually the only engine on the planet, including Unity and Epic, that is 100 percent real time," said Yerli. "People underestimate what it means to be 100 percent real time."
"CryEngine is the engine you consider when you think of next generation development," he added.
From a gamer's point of view, why should we care though? According to Yerli "there are games that are developed with CryEngine that you just cannot develop with the Epic and Unity engines".
Recently Crytek has said that exciting CryEngine 3 games are to be revealed, and that it is hoping for a core gaming market on the Wii U.

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
Ready to become more active? Be sure to read our safety tips before you begin exercising.
Before you start your exercising or fitness, consider the below health questions. If you answer YES to any of the questions, be sure to check with your doctor before you start any new activities. Also, talk with your doctor if it's been a long time since you've been active at all, or if you have a lot of weight to lose - even if you don't answer YES to any of the questions.
For best health, start all your exercise routines out slowly and gradually pick up the pace as your body warms up. For example, if you're heading out on a 30-minute moderate walk, spend the first five minutes at a slower pace, then speed up to moderate. A proper warm up is an essential fitness safety tip for every workout.
Another essential safety tip is to cool your body down by gently stretching the main muscles you used during your exercise or work out. Hold each stretch for 12-15 seconds. Don't bounce. Stretch to the point just before discomfort - if the stretch is painful, you're pushing too hard. This simple exercise will ease your muscles, maintain fitness health, and prevent strains.
To avoid dehydration, drink water before, during and after any physical activity or fitness routine. On hot days, don't exercise in the middle of the day and wear light-coloured, loose, comfortable clothing so body heat can easily escape. Practice sun safety and protect your skin's health by always applying a good sunscreen.
If you're pregnant, follow an exercise program recommended by your doctor.

STORY: A man-made floating city called the Ark, made up of hundreds of separate floating islands, is on the brink of all-out civil war. Originally built as an experimental self-sufficient and 100% モgreenヤ habitat, the reported rapid rise of the Earthメs oceans has forced the Ark to become a refuge for humanity. Crammed with the original Ark founders, their descendants, as well as tens of thousands of refugees, the Ark exists in total isolation from the rest of the world.

ᄋ Context-Sensitive Goals and Rewards - Objectives, communications, mission generation, and inventory selection are all dynamically generated based on your role, your status, your location, your squad-mates, and the status of the battle in all game play modes.

ᄋ Virtual Texturing ヨ Brinkメs proprietary technology, Virtual Texturing, breaks new ground on current-gen consoles and PCs with an even greater focus on highly detailed characters, realistic environments, lighting, effects, and atmospherics. This competitive lead on the squad-combat genre helps thrust players into the gritty reality of the Ark's epic secluded arcology.

I was skeptical, I will admit.
I mean, it's water. In a can. How amazing could it be?
Pretty darn amazing, lemme tell you!
Before we get started, let me tell you what sets this apart from other canned waters: the amount of sodium. Seriously. Spray one hand with the Avene and one hand with Evian, the ket them dry. Now lich the back of both hands. See? The Evian hand tasts like a salty mess, and the Avene hand tastes like...well, hand. :)
Sodium applied to skin will dehydrate, so this would be a bad thing. The Avene water has a liberal amount of silica, which is softening and smoothing. That would be a good thing. :D
Good stuff. Also, you can literally spray this right into your mouth. There is nothing nasty in there, just water and natural gas to compress it.
I use this to soothe diaper rash, set my makeup, balance my skin after a shower, and I have even used it at the playground to remove dirt from a scraped knee...just get the water spray really close, to give maximum water pressure.
I have no less than 4 bottles going at a time, stashed all over. :) continued >>

USB2 controller hubs are programmable
Microchip Technology Inc. announced seven new UCH2 ICs across three families that are said to be the the first to provide programmability, enabling the developers of PCs and mobile devices to configure their designs without external memory. These UCH2s support both USB2 and USB High Speed Interchip (HSIC) connectivity, help maximize battery life via low-power modes such as Link Power Management (LPM), and offer the ability to replace wall chargers with advanced battery charging modes, such as BC1.2, Apple, SE1 and China charging. For applications that need to communicate over multiple protocols, these UCH2s feature direct I/O bridging to I2C, SPI, UART and general-purpose I/O. They also have the flexibility to support the behaviors of multiple operating systems, such as vendor-specific messaging and FlexConnect for simple port reversals. Microchip's new UCH2s integrate "Quad Page" configuration OTP Flash memory, which reserves space for interoperability and other customizations by the designer, including four separate configuration opportunities.

BEDMINSTER, NJ ( TheStreet) -- NPS Pharmaceuticals ( NPSP) has two major questions to tackle at next week's FDA advisory panel that will review Gattex for the treatment of patients with short bowel syndrome. 1. Does Gattex cause cancer? 2. Does a reduction in intravenous feeding (but not necessarily a cessation of intravenous feeding) represent a significant and meaningful clinical benefit for patients with short bowel syndrome? The Gattex FDA advisory panel is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 16. On Friday, Oct. 12, FDA is expected to release briefing documents for panel including the agency's clinical review of Gattex. NPS Pharma shares closed Wednesday at $9.17. Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a chronic and disabling condition that strikes people, who for various reasons including Crohn's disease, have about 50% of their lower intestines surgically removed. A majority of patients can adapt to lead normal lives. A smaller group of SBS patients never recover full functionality of their lower intestines, and a result, must spend the rest of their lives attached to an intravenous parenteral nutrition bag that provides the liquid nutrients they need to survive. NPS Pharma estimates approximately 15,000 SBS patients eligible for Gattex in the U.S., meaning the condition qualifies for orphan drug status (and potential premium pricing.) Gattex pricing hasn't been disclosed but drug's U.S. peak sales potential is in the $350 million range. European regulators approved Gattex last month. Takeda will sell the drug in Europe under the brande name Revestive. NPS Pharma receives royalties on Revestive sales. Gattex is an analogue of GLP-2, a protein involved with intestinal growth and function. Administered via a shot under the skin, Gattex is designed to boost the ability of the intestine to absorb nutrients. Approximately 556 SBS patients have been treated with Gattex in all studies. One year ago, NPS Pharma reported three cases of cancer in Gattex-treated SBS patients from a long-term follow-up study. Two of the patients died. Gattex is a growth factor so the three cancer cases raised concerns that the drug may be carcinogenic, particularly when used over long periods. One patient died from a metastatic adenocarcinoma that likely originated in the gastrointestinal tract. This patient was being treated with Gattex for 313 days when the cancer was diagnosed. However, the patient was previously diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease and treated with radiation and chemotherapy. A CT scan taken six months before the patients began taking Gattex revealed a lesion on the liver. The second patient was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer 85 days after starting treatment with Gattex. This patient, who also died, was a heavy smoker. The third patient was diagnosed with squamous cell lung cancer after 535 days on Gattex therapy. This patient also had a history of smoking. At the FDA panel, NPS Pharma will argue that the three cancer cases are unrelated to Gattex. Patients in the Gattex study were pre-screened with colonoscopies and any polyps found were removed. At the end of the study, no difference in the number of new polyps was observed between Gattex-treated patients and patients in the placebo arm. None of the new polyps that were found were cancerous.

Self Edge, arguably the premiere shop for Japanese denim in the USA is about to open doors to a new venture in footwear called Patina. Scheduled to open later in the summer, Patina plans to carry house brand mens leather shoes by "remaking and re-tweaking" classic mens styles. All leather shoes are customizable (just about every panel on the Patina line will be interchangeable). Expect an 8 week wait for them, but hey, is that not the fun of customer cobblering.
Rumor has it as well that the price-point will remain very reasonable for the sector; remaining under 600$US. Quoting Kiya Babzani, "Our plan is for Patina to do for footwear what Self Edge did for denim in America."

Each time I try to use USB FORMAT tool, it generates a "Volume Is Too Big" error message.
Tried both automatic and manual installation on a 8GB and 16GB USB flash drive, even went as far as to manually partitioning FAT16 but installation still fails. Why must this software use FAT16?
My system:
Windows XP Pro SP3
8GB and 16 GB Patriot USB 2.0 Flash Drive
- January 3, 2012 09:28 PM (GMT)
Nvm, saw that...
"You must use a 4GB thumb-drive or under. Drives with 8GB or more will not work correctly."
This really disappoints me since if I knew of this problem before I made the purchase I wouldn't have purchased this software.
- January 3, 2012 10:25 PM (GMT)
Yes, 4GB or less drives work best. I've been able to get larger ones to work doing it manually, it just depends on the drive. Some manufacturers will work when other's don't.
The creating of the boot device and verifying it will work is to be done prior to purchasing the key, so there's no reason to buy anything without knowing it's compatible first.

Augusta real estate attorney Wright McLeod has become the third Republican to jump into the race for the congressional seat currently held by Savannah Democrat John Barrow.
Following new boundaries created recently by the Republican-led legislature, Barrow's 12th Congressional District leans toward the GOP.
McLeod, a first-time candidate for elective office, said he supports "a return to the conservative economic principles and the conservative moral values that made our country the greatest the world has ever known."
A former decorated Navy commander; he flew F-14 Tomcat fighter jets for 20 years, including 38 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm.
McLeod also serves as a Municipal Judge for the City of Hephzibah.
He is running with the support of Gloria Norwood, the wife of late U.S. Rep Charlie Norwood, an Augusta Republican.
The two other announced GOP hopefuls are state Rep. Lee Anderson, R-Grovetown, and Augusta businessman Rick Allen.
The home of the three candidates shows how the center of political gravity in the 12th has shifted north to reflect its district's new configuration.
If the new boundaries withstand legal challenges, the 12th no longer will include heavily Democratic areas in Savannah, where Barrow lives.
Barrow says he'll move if he has to so he can live in the district.
A new statewide survey indicates that almost half of Georgia voters think Gov. Nathan Deal, who plans to seek re-election in 2014, is doing a good job.
An InsiderAdvantage poll showed that 48 percent approve of Deal's job performance while only 28 percent, mostly Democrats, disapproved .
That's a slight improvement over what the same pollster's sounding registered in June, when Deal got a nod from 44 percent and 29 percent registered disapproval.
The latest survey, taken Oct. 18, also found that 25 percent said they either had "no opinion" or were "undecided"
"The fact that 25 percent … have no opinion," said InsiderAdvantage CEO Matt Towery, "really reflects that the public does not get to know a governor well until his second or third year.
"Even 20 percent of Republicans said they had no opinion. That's not surprising because they don't see him on TV every day, like they do during a campaign…but they will get to know him."
Towery said the only area of concern he sees for Deal is that some 31 percent of voters who identified themselves as "independents" said they disapproved.
"That wouldn't bother me too much if I were Deal's people." Towery said, "but I would keep a watchful eye on that category as time goes by."
An organizational meeting for backers of GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3 at the Chatham County party headquarters.
The HQ's at 11 East 73rd Street, behind the big globe just south of DeRenne Avenue off Abercorn St.
More information is available from Jeanne Seaver at 663-8728.
The headline read: "Gingrich endorsement Press release," so it looked like the former U.S. House speaker might have picked up more support for his presidential bid.
But the missive issued by Sen. Barry Loudermilk, R-Cassville, was less than what seemed to meet they eye, at least if you were blinking.
It turns out that Gingrich is doing the endorsing.
He has praised Loudermilk's recently released book on American history, "And Then They Prayed."
For the record, Loudermilk hasn't endorsed anyone for president.

"Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach."

Boots are probably my favorite type of footwear so I was really excited to receive a new pair of leather "Keliane" motorcycle inspired boots, part of the new Nine West Vintage America collection, courtesy of Nine West.
The boots feature an antiqued grommet front, self stitch, rubber sole and low flat heel. Available in either brown or black (which to me is more of a brown-black), these versatile shoes sell for $178 at NineWest.com. Definitely out of my price range for a style that I wouldn't necessarily call my own (to me, they look more Western-inspired than moto), but I'm glad I got to see them up close and I'm ready to put them to the test.
My first impression is that the shaft is kinda flimsy, but I think that was an intentional decision by the designers. The faux copper studs with faux copper-oxide (green paint) is kinda hokey up close, but from a distance, the look is kinda growing on me. At least it's something different from my usual solid black riding boots (also from Nine West, which I love). I'll keep you posted on how these babies hold up!
UPDATE 4/5/2010: Been wearing these for nicer occasions all winter (I don't take them out in the snow/slush, don't want to ruin them) and they have been holding up really well. They didn't even require a breaking in period. Very comfy, good for walking, and I feel like they match everything in my closet surprisingly well!
Has anyone seen the Vintage America collection by Nine West in stores? What did you think?
