Since its founding in 1954, City National Bank has helped fund the development of hundreds of companies in industries ranging from agriculture and manufacturing to entertainment and world trade. City National has provided clients with access to important financial services, including loans that support economic development and job creation. In 2002, to further serve its bi-coastal California clients and prospective clients, the bank opened a private banking office in New York City. In 2007, City National merged with Business Bank of Nevada. In 2011 City National opens its second office in New York City - this one in the heart of Times Square and its first offices in Nashville, Tennessee and Atlanta.
City National fosters healthy communities through small business and community development lending and equity investments in projects that strengthen local neighborhoods.
Help for 9,600 Small Businesses and Farms
City National has a natural franchise for small business lending, which helps spur job creation. The bank's latest Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) exam took place in July 2009, and looked at small business lending between October 2005 and December 2008. During that time, CNB made more than 9.600 small business and small farm loans, with one-third of them going to companies with $1 million or less in revenue. From January 2009 through December 2011, it made more than 8,300 small business and small farm loans, with 33 percent of them awarded to such businesses.
In its 2009 CRA exam period, City National made $940 million in community development loans, i.e., loans to promote economic development, revitalize low-income areas, and provide community services and affordable housing.
As of the end of December 2011, with more than a year to go before our next CRA examination, the bank had made $898 million in such loans, and appears to be on track to once again exceed the prior exam's community development lending numbers.
City National provided the City of Riverside with a $20 million revolving line of credit to help expand the city's neighborhood stabilization efforts targeting vacant, foreclosed and abandoned homes.
The bank provided a $7.5 million revolving line of credit to a community not-for-profit hospital in northern California. The hospital, which serves a high percentage of Medi-Cal and Medicare patients, is expanding bed capacity and purchasing new capital equipment and technology.
Community development loans in Nevada have focused on economic development and job creation/retention in LMI communities. Examples include a $1.9 million commercial real estate loan to refinance an owner-occupied commercial/industrial building, and a $1.2 million revolving line of credit for working capital needs granted to a Las Vegas law firm.
The bank provided $40 million of a total $275 million credit facility granted to refinance a major new mixed use entertainment/retail/residential "campus" in the heart of a low-income area in downtown Los Angeles. Benefits to the immediately-surrounding area include new jobs and services, and the city as a whole benefits from increased tourist spending.
On an ongoing basis, City National invests in community organizations that focus on economic development through small business lending and employment programs. Some long-term partnerships include:
As of December 31, 2011, City National had $229 million in CRA-eligible investments, 88 percent of which support affordable housing.
City National continually teams with for-profit and nonprofit developers to create affordable housing opportunities in low- and moderate-income areas and for low- and moderate-income homebuyers and renters.
The bank has supported the creation of more than 2,700 affordable units through sponsorship of Federal Home Loan Bank grant subsidies totaling $16.4 million.
City National directly supports numerous community organizations dedicated to developing affordable housing:
City National has helped spearhead several important community programs to meet its community development goals.
City National's chairman Russell Goldsmith was named by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to chair the Los Angeles Economy & Jobs Committee. In 2008, the group of top business, civic and community leaders submitted its plan for advancing the region's economy and creating more quality jobs.
Several leading community organizations have honored the bank for its leadership efforts:
City National Bank takes great pride in investing in the communities where we work, live, and conduct business. We believe these commitments are part of our DNA and that they define us as a corporate citizen. Accordingly, City National Bank annually contributes millions in support of charitable and civic programs and organizations that contribute to the long-term success and well-being of our communities.
City National encourages and supports colleagues' involvement in the community and offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for colleague participation. In 2012, our colleagues volunteered nearly 17,000 hours to local community projects.
City National Bank awards a Dollars for Doers grant of up to $500 annually for a qualified non-profit for which a colleague volunteers 20 or more hours annually.
City National believes that literacy and financial literacy are key to ensuring the future success of tomorrow's leaders. City National provides colleagues up to three hours of paid time off each month to read to students or teach financial literacy to grades K-12 in any public or private school in our markets via bank-organized literacy events or on their own.
Reading is The way up® (RITWU) is City National's own award winning literacy program designed to promote childhood reading and lifelong learning. RITWU supports schools and their students through donations, volunteer reading and local book drives. Through RITWU, to date, City National Bank has:
Dollars + Sense is City National's financial literacy program for students grades K-12. Teaching our youth strong financial management skills today will help them meet the challenges of the future.
Widely recognized as a "best practices" Workplace Giving company, over 90% of City National colleagues participate in this annual campaign, contributing over $1,000,000 annually to help provide a critical safety net of education, empowerment and caring to those in need in the communities we serve. We offer direct contributions to the following nine charitable organizations, as well as the option to direct your donation to any 501(c)3 of your choosing:
Started in 2011, City National coordinates an annual Back to School Supplies Drive to collect essential school supplies for students attending our neediest schools. In 2012, City National colleagues donated more than 41,000 items which were distributed to 24 elementary schools in California, Georgia, Nevada, New York and Tennessee.
City National colleagues donate gently used business attire and professional accessories to several wonderful organizations that serve our communities. Every year more than 2,500 items are donated to help provide men and women with the tools they need to project a positive image, boost their self-confidence and provide the self-esteem necessary to find and maintain employment, and achieve economic self-sufficiency.

École Elie Dubois celebrates 100th Anniversary
On December 3, 2013, École Elie Dubois celebrated the centenary of its founding in 1913. The school is celebrating 100 years of educating young Haitian women to the highest standards, and continues to be counted among the finest educational institutions in the country. The school received a generous $100,000 gift from CINA/ARGOS in January 2014 towards the rehabilitation of the historic school building. FAES reopened the call for bids on January 28 2014 with a slightly revised scope of work. We expect the renovation to be completed by January 2015. We look forward to the continuing relationships with the school's funding partners including Barefoot, CINA, IADB, Students Rebuild, Bezos Foundation, Nike Inc., and World Central Kitchens. There is still more to be done to complete the build out of the campus master plan and we look forward to working together to achieve this work. Among the next projects are the Science Lab, the IT Lab, renovated administrative spaces, an infirmary, the chapel, and the housing for the residential sisters. (Learn more about École Elie Dubois)

SIDI boot wearing people, check in!

Can you post which model of SIDI you wear.
Where you bought them from?
Price paid?
What type of use?
What you would change about them?
And if possible a picture of your SIDI?
What size sneaker do you usually wear and what size boot did you get?
Reason why I'm asking, I'm about a week from buying a boot and leaning towards the SIDI Charger Boots.
They will be for DP use...
Old thread but what the heck...
Aerostich Combat Touring Boots, made by Sidi for RiderWearhouse.
Bought a size 8.5 and it fits perfectly, same as my sneaks in the same size.
Caught them on sale several years ago and paid ... something like $289 plus shipping.
Pro's - a tough multi-purpose boot, meaning they are suitable for the light off road I do, for any of the pavement riding I do, and for occasional yard work.
Con's - the dang things are heavy, took forever to break in, and are heavy. They are stiff and for a while any new owner of these boots walks like a drunker sailor. It took me a while to feel shifting was natural and unstrained. Did I mention that they took forever to break in?
Seriously, I was about fed up with them and thinking of selling and going another direction when I did a couple of days yard work in them, including walking on my sloped residential lot pushing my trim mower. The flex motion of walking and straining while working hillsides and grades helped "tip" them enough towards broken in that I decided not to take the loss on a sale. After the various break-in trick and several thousand miles of riding the DR and the Wing they are no longer a distraction while shifting.
What would I change? Two things -
First, as soon as I got them I did the waterproofing routine with the stuff they sell at RiderWearhouse. If I had it to do over I would forget that and spend the first year working with a good quality black shoe polish to soften and oil the leather. That, I think, would enhance the break-in and besides - the thickness of the leather means it is going to have to be a prolonged torrent for one to get wet in these boots.
Next, the moto-cross type sole that I ordered was a huge disappointment. Since I had ridden with the boots and gotten them dusty I did not feel I could send them back in good faith for an exchange. And the funky peach colored tone of the heeled sole that can be purchased as a replacement did not do anything for me. So I had a local cobbler shop remove the moto type sole and install a Vibram cleated sole. I've been happy with that.
The pictures are from over a year ago.

Handjob porn is the best porn around, hands down. It may not have the laughs of a good parody or the taboo cachet of an anal extravaganza, but consider this: handjobs are one of the purest forms of pleasure. It's a girl and a guy, and she's not getting anything out of it except
the satisfaction of a job well done. She can't lie back and take it, she can't let him do all the work – she's there for no other reason than to please, and she has to do a good job or there's no payoff. A good handjob movie is a thing of beauty, and fortunately we have no shortage of them. Handjobs come in many different flavors, including handjobs from different demographics – MILFs, teens, amateurs, dommes, nurses and plenty of other fetish niches; in addition, there are femdom handjobs, where the man is being teased, tortured and forced, and CFNM handjobs where the naked man is surrounded by a bevy of clothed girls. All in all, handjob movies are simple and pure, and besides – who doesn't love a handjob?

I had sold most of my figures months ago, but kept the lion's share of my customizing gear on the off chance that I may want to take the hobby up again. That has not happened. In fact, I know that I won't be making anymore customs anytime soon. But what is sad for me may be good for someone else! I will be selling the following for the reasonable price of $75.00 plus shipping.
-36 assorted Vallejo Acrylic Paints
-3 Vallejo Matte Varnishes
-2 Vallejo White Primers
-1 Vallejo Satin Varnish
-1 Vallejo Metal Medium
-1 White Testors Acrylic Paint (still in package)
-11 used but in good condition brushes and 4 brand new brushes
-1 ML Wasp w/o wings
-1 ML Quicksilver
-1 ML Invisible Woman
-1 DC Superman
-1 4.8v cordless Dremel with attachment case and charger
-Various small Customizing parts and accessories (a good amount)
-Various BaF parts (Onslaught w/o arms or legs, whole Mojo, Mojo parts)
The paints are for the most part new. I only used a few of them for anything but minor amounts of paint. Most of them I never even used at all. Vallejo is a great paint brand to use. They cost around $3.00 a bottle at your local game store. This really is a pretty good deal. This package would be ideal for the beginning customizer, but would accentuate anyone's hobby. Let me know if you're interested and we'll go from there. I'm selling all of this as one package. I will not sell any of it separately. I hope whoever ends up with all this is able to make some killer customs.

5.8 x 9.2 cm image/sheet
Carte-de-visites, small albumen prints on hard card, were extraordinarily popular during the 1850s. Relatively inexpensive to produce, they were made in many parts of the world, enthusiastically acquired, easy to post, and commonly stored in albums. During the 19th century it was also common to photograph the deceased as a form of memorial. Used as keepsakes, cards such as this enabled families to distribute images of a deceased loved one to distant relatives.

Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) ('68, '70g) at a July 16 press conference in the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art to announce the procurement of funding for the museum.
Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) ('68, '70g) has earmarked $150,000 for the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art to fund a major exhibition of Hudson River school paintings.
The congressman is funding the grant through the Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 2008, which cleared the House Appropriations Committee and gained full House approval last week. The U.S. Senate still must approve the funds.
"These funds will make it possible for Hudson Valley residents, art admirers and students, and visitors to enjoy the precious pieces of art from the Hudson River School period, learn about their significance, and become inspired by the beauty and majesty of this art," Hinchey said at a press conference held on July 16, in the museum.
Neil Trager, director of the museum, said, "We are grateful to Congressman Hinchey for his ongoing interest in the SDMA and for his magnanimous support."
The proposed exhibit would include a large educational component for area schools, a symposium that brings in national scholars, as well as a publication. The collection could be displayed at New Paltz and could travel throughout the region in collaboration with other organizations and institutions.
The museum has a special commitment to collecting and exhibiting important works of art created by artists who have lived and worked in the Hudson Valley and Catskill regions.
"Everyone at the museum is delighted about the funding, which recognizes and endorses our mission to showcase regional art and artists," said Trager.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 3/30/13
Updated on 3/30 Johan Santana has decided that he will continue his career and has elected to undergo surgery to repair the torn anterior capsule in his left shoulder, according to the team. This essentially means that Santana will miss all of the 2013 season. With no insurance to save them, the Mets will owe Santana $25.5 million for the rest of this season and an additional $5.5 million to buyout his 2014 option. Original Post 3/29 Sandy Alderson has announced during a conference call last night carried on SNY, that Johan Santana has a probable re-tear of his anterior capsule in his left shoulder and will likely miss the rest of the season. The team said Thursday that the two-time Cy Young Award winner probably has re-torn the anterior capsule in his left shoulder and likely will need a second operation that would sideline him for the entire season. Santana missed 2011 following his first shoulder surgery. "I am not a doctor, nor am I a medical historian, but these injuries are ve...

We all know that sugar is a part of the human diet. But what many people do not know is that all sugar is not created equal. There are many types of sugar.
Refined Sugar
Refined sugar is made from sugar cane, which actually has a lot of good nutrition in its original form. However, when sugar is processed and refined, all of that good nutrition is basically taken out. The nutritious part of sugar cane is called molasses. This is usually sold as a separate product. The problem with refined sugar is that not only has the nutrition been depleted from it in the refining process, but when the sugar is consumed it also depletes nutrients from your own system. This can result in water retention. Other problems resulting from over consumption of refined sugar include low potassium levels, blood sugar issues and even sleep disturbances.
Natural Sugar
When you hear the term "natural sugar" it can mean one of two things. It could mean refined sugar with a little molasses mixed in, or it could refer to Tubinado. Turbinado is raw sugar cane which retains a little more of its original nutrition and would be considered the least of the evils.
Honey and Stevia
Honey is a good alternative to help you transition between consuming large amounts of refined sugar and cutting back. You may still need to monitor your consumption of this type of sugar. Stevia is the best sugar alternative. It is plant based and will have the least negative effect on your health.
Changing Your Taste Buds
What many people discover after a few weeks of no sugar, is that their taste buds begin to adapt and their bodies no longer crave sugar like it did in the past. While you are trying to cut back on the amount of sugar you consume, be on the watch for hidden sugars. There are often hidden sugars in low fat products such as yogurts. Fruit juices are also a hidden source of high sugar content. While trying to purge your body of these sugars, cut out all refined sugar, fruit juice and alcohol. Your cravings will slowly subside. Most sugar cravings are actually potassium cravings. To fight this potassium craving you need to really up the amount of vegetables, especially greens that you consume.

'Archer': Lana is very pregnant in new Season 5 'GTA'-themed posterAdd to Favorites | Archer
FX just debuted a new "Archer" Season 5 poster, and Lana certainly is showing her pregnancy.
That is the most attention-grabbing part of the "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City"-themed new image, which comes courtesy of Uproxx. Lana flaunts her baby belly while Malory sunbathes, Krieger swims fully clothed in the water and Cheryl/Carol goes country. Just what is actually going on here?
This wouldn't be the first time an "Archer" promo went pop culture-themed for Season 5. A teaser music video was a recreation of "Top Gun's" "Danger Zone" that doesn't seem to actually have anything to do with the Season 5 plot. The case could be the same with this poster.
When Zap2it recently caught up with Chris Parnell, he did say that big changes were in store for the ISIS gang. Who knows how Lana's pregnancy will actually affect the team, especially with her baby's father yet to be revealed.
"[Season 5 is] going to be very different. It's going to be a big shakeup for the ISIS gang. They're not going to be in ISIS anymore," he says. "They're going to be staking out digs in somebody's house. They'll still travel; the story will still have a similar tone to it. The show premieres in January, so you'll find out in due time."
"Archer" Season 5 premieres on FX on Jan. 13 at 10 p.m.

In 2012, key initiatives include elevating our trauma services from our current level three to a level two emergency response. These advancements in emergency services will be critical as we bring neurosurgery to Dixie Regional Medical Center and allow us to begin treating head trauma and stroke patients that have previously been flown to larger metropolitan medical centers. As always – the time saved treating locally will mean lives saved.
Our Newborn Intensive Care Service area took on a new expansion. A program that began with a groundswell of community philanthropy in 2004 has serviced more than 2,500 babies.
In 2011, we were also able to renovation the Jubilee Home I. Like the famous Velveteen Rabbit, this well-loved lodging serves primarily cancer patients and mothers of premature newborns. It was in very dear need of such basics as new carpet, paint, fixtures and amendments to the kitchen and dining area.
We made a commitment to increase the number of eligible women receiving mammogram screenings because southern Utah was found to be among the worst in the nation. In addition, we funded a 4th digital mammography machine and a biopsy locator.
As of this writing, we have given 350 mammograms to women in need.
We focused on funding an on-site refueling station for Life Flight Helicopter and we're proud to share that it is now operating – saving time and unnecessary miles for our rotary wing service. As of the first quarter of this year, 135 patients have been served – not only in Utah's Washington, Kane, Garfield, Iron and Beaver Counties – but Clark County, Nevada as well. Twenty of those transported were children and 12 were infants.
We raised over $2 million to build and equip Jubilee Home II – a charitable lodging facility for those receiving critical care at Dixie Regional. Since its grand opening in 2008, more than 2,762 patients and families of patients have found a home away from home within its walls.
Finally – we hope you will continue to provide support through outright cash contributions, attendance and sponsorship at our events and with volunteerism.
If you are a donor, we trust you take pride in the achievements your giving has made possible – and that you find we have been thoughtful stewards of your investment.

Red Bull's Mark Webber was lucky to walk away uninjured from the European GP at Valencia in Spain after his race came to a violent end early on.
Webber, who had started second, had a bad start and was down in ninth at the end of the opening lap. With little to lose, he became the first driver to stop for fresh tyres on lap eight. However, the gamble became academic, when his Red Bull cartwheeled over the back of the Lotus of Heikki Kovalainen following a misunderstanding while battling for position.
Watch the crash on the BBC Sport website
Riding up over the right rear of the T127, the Australian was turned skywards before coming down on his roll hoop. The car then rolled back onto its belly and skated into the turn 12 tyre wall, rebounding into the run-off area.
Fortunately, Webber was able to throw out the steering wheel and clamber from the wreckage unaided, before being ushered into the medical car. Kovalainen, too, was unhurt, despite losing his rear wing and being fired into the retaining wall.
"I was going a lot faster than Heikki and then a long, long way before the braking point he braked – about 80m before – and at that point I'm a passenger," Webber said. "The car, thank God, was very safe. I am OK, I lost some points, but in the end when you're up there, you're not worried about points, I was worried that I was OK and ready for Silverstone. You cannot control where you are going and how hard the hits are going to be.
"Of course, the hits were pretty hard but it's good that I am OK. It was my Monte Carlo and Barcelona winning chassis and one which has secured a lot of pole positions, so the chassis has been good to me. I remain incredibly positive, we go on, it's half way through the Championship. Bloody hell, let's get on with it."
Kovalainen, meanwhile, blamed Webber for the crash. "I didn't do anything wrong and he just ran into me," he said. "I think he missed his braking point and he ran into me at a very bad angle – his front tyre hit my right rear and he took off. I had to make a mandatory visit to the medical centre, and shook hands with Mark there, but I'm absolutely fine, and glad Mark is too."

A public aquarium (plural: public aquaria or public aquariums) is the aquatic counterpart of a zoo, housing living aquatic species for viewing. Most public aquaria feature tanks larger than those which could be kept by home aquarists, as well as smaller tanks. Since the first public aquariums were built in the mid-1800s, they have become popular and their numbers have increased. Most modern accredited aquaria stress conservation issues and educating the public.
The first public aquarium was opened in London Zoo in May 1853; the "Fish House", as it came to be known, was constructed much like a greenhouse. P.T. Barnum quickly followed in 1856 with the first American aquarium as part of his established Barnum's American Museum, which was located on Broadway in New York before it burned down. In 1859, the Aquarial Gardens were founded in Boston. A number of aquaria then opened in Europe, such as the Jardin d'Acclimatation in Paris and the Viennese Aquarium Salon (both founded 1860), the Marine Aquarium Temple as part of the Zoological Garden in Hamburg (1864), as well as aquariums in Berlin (1869) and Brighton (1872). The oldest American aquarium is the National Aquarium in Washington, D.C., founded in 1873. This was followed by the opening of other public aquaria : San Francisco (Woodward's Garden, 1873-1890), Wood Hole (Science Aquarium, 1885), New York (Battery Park, 1896-1941), La Jolla (Scripps, 1903), Detroit (Belle Isle, 1904-2005), Philadelphia (Fairmount Water Works, 1911-1962), San Francisco (Steinhart Aquarium, 1923), Chicago (Shedd Aquarium, 1929). For many years, the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago was the largest aquarium in the world, until the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta opened.
In 2005, the Georgia Aquarium, with more than 8 million US gallons (30,000 m³; 30,000,000 liters) of marine and fresh water, and more than 100,000 animals of 500 different species opened in Atlanta, Georgia. The aquarium's notable specimens include whale sharks and beluga whales.
Modern day aquarium tanks can hold millions of U.S. gallons of water and can house large species, including dolphins, sharks or beluga whales. This is accomplished though thick, clear acrylic glass windows. Aquatic and semiaquatic mammals, including otters, and seals are often cared for at aquaria. Some establishments, such as the Oregon Coast Aquarium, have aquatic aviaries.
Most aquaria will have special exhibits to entice repeat visitors, in addition to its permanent collection. A few have their own version of a "petting zoo"; for instance, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has a shallow tank filled with common types of rays, and one can reach in to feel their smooth skins as they pass by.
Also as with zoos, aquaria usually have specialized research staff who study the habits and biology of their specimens.
Most public aquaria are located close to the ocean, for a steady supply of natural seawater. An inland pioneer was Chicago's Shedd Aquarium that received seawater shipped by rail in special tank cars. The early (1911) Philadelphia Aquarium, built in the city's disused water works, had to switch to treated city water when the nearby river became too contaminated. Similarly, the recently opened Georgia Aquarium filled its tanks with fresh water from the city water system and salinated its salt water exhibits using the same commercial salt and mineral additives available to home aquarists.
In January 1985, Kelly Tarlton began construction of the first aquarium, Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World, to include a large transparent acrylic tunnel in Auckland, New Zealand, a task that took 10 months and cost NZ$3 million. The 110-meter tunnel was built from one-tonne slabs of German sheet plastic that were shaped locally in an oven. A moving walkway now transports visitors through, and groups of school children occasionally hold sleepovers there beneath the swimming sharks and rays.

Santa greets kids at the WP&YR rail depot before taking everyone on the "Santa Train." Marsha Columbo
Your 2005 Yuletide Invitation
This years Yuletide Weekend will be Friday Dec. 9 to Sunday Dec. 11, with a wine tasting event kicking off the festivities at the Eagles on Thursday Dec. 8. The theme this year is Feliz Navidad (Spanish for Merry Christmas), and was inspired by the amazing progress made by the Spanish program at school and by the many adults now learning Spanish on Thursday nights.
This years event promises to be even better than before with the highlights including the annual running of the WP&YR Santa Train which is a perennial favorite of children and adults alike (cross your fingers for snow). Santa will be available to visit with every child that wants to get a special word in with him before the train departs. While you are in the depot marvel at the display of amazing quilts made by local residents.
The other major highlight is the Yuletide Ball on the Saturday night and what better way to crank up the winter heat than to dance the night away to the Latin rhythms of Juneaus favorite salsa band Salsa Borealis. Before the band plays there will be free salsa lessons from 8-9 p.m. taught by Antonio and Heather who both have many years experience teaching dance, especially salsa.
The weekend is full of other events to keep you busy and having fun. On Friday night there will be the tree lighting with open houses at AB Hall and the NPS Visitor Center. This evenings events will be highlighted by the free showing of the critically acclaimed documentary March of the Penguins at 7 pm. There is the craft fair on Saturday morning and there will be the traditional Holiday Teas on Sunday with this years participants being Bob & Jeannine Masciola, John Warder, Jim & Charlotte Jewell, with an open house at the Skagway City Museum.
There is so much to do that you will probably need a holiday from all of the fun youll have during the Yuletide Weekend.
To see an updated schedule and to get more information on the weekends events visit the Yuletide webpage: www.skagwaydevelopment.org/yuletide2005.html
And dont forget the 50/50 raffle tickets are only $5 each and only 200 are being printed. This gives you a great opportunity to take home up to $500; what a great way to end the weekend.
Finally, a reminder that Yuletide is made possible by the generous donations from local businesses, fraternal organizations, and individuals. Thank you very much for your support! Yuletide Committee

College Football 2014: 5 Big Questions for Week 1

We have survived another long off-season, and college football is once again upon us in all its glory. Here are five burning questions as we enter Week 1:
A Vine user named Ian Padgham (@origiful) took a series photos of his wife during her pregnancy, resulting in this stunning final project.
Any landing you can walk away from is a good one, right?
For anyone who's been thinking, I'm so sick of seeing all these stupid ice-bucket challenges, here's an important, hilarious and touching reminder of why the whole campaign started in the first place.
The lesson here, clearly, is don't put stupid stuff on your head in a desperate, misguided attempt to get on television. Your plan just might work.
Brace yourself -- cooking corn on the cob is about to become a breeze.
Times are tough for the Tooth Fairy .
Our long national nightmare is almost over, and we are down to just a few more days until college football returns on August 28. Here are some of the burning issues we can't wait to see play out in the coming weeks.
Three new movies hit theaters this coming weekend—a comic book sequel (yes, another one), a teen tearjerker and an inspiring high-school football tale.
No matter what level of sports you're playing, losing is always hard to swallow, but it might be most difficult when you're a kid. That's what makes this postgame speech so amazing.
Defending champion Florida State picks up right where it left off last season, atop the college football rankings.
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is a major international health crisis, but here at home in the U.S. you don't really have much to worry about. Here's why.

I'm going to make this blog short and sweet because we all saw what happened tonight on the show.
What you don't know is when the producers want to bring on potential new cast members, normally they'll pre-film to see if the girls have a personality. Kenya tried to tell us that she had never watched Basketball Wives before. However, we all knew that she was a fan of the show and came into the situation trying to talk shit so the producers would notice her. Naturally, the producers are going to look at her and think, "We got something here!" To sum it up, talking reckless about me helped her get on the show. *claps hands* Good job Crazy As Hell Kenya Bell, happy that I was able to keep you relevant.
For me, it honestly wasn't about the loose comment; it was the fact that Kenya was judging, being negative and talking shit. She doesn't know anything about me, however, she came on the show smiling in my face trying to be my friend, and all the while she was doing her little round table with other cast members and referring to me as being "loose". That's fake right? Tami, Suzie and I were so confused when we tried to get to the bottom of what Kenya really said and it's sickening that she can't keep up with her own fucking lies. And what is even more sickening is the fact that Kenya was trying to channel Jennifer and Tami. She gave up the kitten heels for Louboutins and turned the leaning wig in for a curly weave. Let me stop, because at dinner, she actually looked more like someone's Auntie.
The difference between most women and me is that I don't hide my past and never will. I believe in keeping it 100! I refuse to act like someone that I'm not. Would you rather me be fake or real with you?
On a serious note, things went a little far and I could have handled the situation differently. I may feel a certain way about Kenya, but I know that I shouldn't have thrown that bottle. I could have seriously injured her or one of my cast mates. I own up to what I did and admit my anger did get the best of me.

Ellie Levine at STC Craft created a timeline of the MAKESHIFT events – a beautiful recap using images and social media platforms which you can read here.
Compiled below are reflections and lingering thoughts to help continue our MAKESHIFT conversation into next year.
Keep in mind (and close to heart) what is valuable and inspiring as you design, create, and make.
"I was so honored to be asked to participate in the Makeshift event. I felt a bit like an interloper, since my creations are much more ephemeral than most of the other art represented by the extraordinary people involved. The makeshift song we created, as a whole group, was thrilling. The audience participation was so much fun, and so inspiring. Creating as a community is something that sustains me, like food and water. The community I work with of musicians, audience, crew and collaborators of all stripes, sustains me and gives me strength and courage to do the solitary and sometimes isolating work of a writer. This idea, this FACT, was brought into such beautiful and stark relief at the Makeshift event. I recognized once again that in creativity, the sum is often greater than the parts." – Rosanne Cash
"I loved everything you did for the Makeshift event. But what I loved most was getting a chance to hear from people in completely different areas of craft/design. Having a chance to come together–while making something, like our yarn necklaces–and to talk about the intersection of these areas in community—that's enormously valuable, especially since I do much of my work alone and, as a result, I crave input from others in neighboring fields. Some of my best inspiration comes from trading ideas with other creative friends, and that happens on a grander scale when we're working in different areas. We can build ideas from sharing and from exchanges like this." – Liesel Gibson
"Being a part of Makeshift 2012 made me realize that sometimes being very far away geographically and seemingly out of the loop is such an archaic notion when people are connected by their truest intentions and passions. I have been living in Bulgaria off and on for the past two years, and I occasionally feel a bit sorry for myself when I think that I might be operating very far away from NYC, what many view as the epicenter of art, craft, design, fashion, and style. I love my life in Sofia and the connections I have made with very talented makers in villages and communities throughout Bulgaria. Makeshift 2012 made me realize that the textile research and cultural inquiry that I have been doing overseas is even more connected to rural American craft traditions and slow fashion than I might have surmised. This has energized me to go forth and let people here know that what seems so far away and unattainable is something that they have known about all along. It is something that their grandparents and great grandparents honored, and it is something that does not have a high price-tag or require a travel visa to be a part of. Makeshift is happening in every pocket of the globe, as the next generation rediscovers what the act of doing, undoing, and sharing is all about." - Abigail Doan
"One Saturday afternoon in Florence, in one of our many conversations leading up to Makeshift, Natalie and I floated a simple 1-step experimental plan about how to ignite "making a shift": If you want to make a shift, start making something!
The evening at The Standard was, for me at least, a beautiful lesson in how true this can be.
It's mysterious: How is it that making things together–songs, beads, finger-knitting, stories–also creates a feeling of community?
Here's another question: Once we've created this feeling of community, what do we want to do with its precious momentum?
During the week of Makeshift, I wove a seat for a chair (with a lot of patient help from Cathy Bailey and Andrew Wagner). I reverse appliqued a cover for a journal at the sewing circle, seated next to and across from both near and dear old friends and brand new ones. I met amazing people who will become friends and co-conspirators, and introduced old friends to one another. I was in the same room with Tift Merritt.
In the week following Makeshift, these experiences and encounters are continuing to grow and fructify. And I'm admiring my chair from a distance, recommending that everyone else who either lives in my house or visits it do the same. Unlike some of the splendid and sound creatures created at the Chair Workshop, mine is more or less a loosely and not very expertly woven potholder.
Now I'm curious: What do we want make together next?" – Jessamyn Hatcher
("MAKESHIFT + One Last Thought" originally posted on the Alabama Chanin Journal)
As part of MAKESHIFT, we collaborated on a pop-up shop with the Billy Reid team in their New York store. The shop was called 'Crafting Fashion,' and featured hand-crafted garments, hats, shoes, jewelry, and home décor from seasoned designers who pair fashion and craft beautifully.
We encourage you to join with crafters, makers, and artists to curate pop-up shops in your community. Find a space- or make a space, work towards creative collaboration, and share your vision with your community.
If you've already done so, we'd love to hear about it.
We'd like to highlight each of the featured designers in our pop-up shop and say a special 'thank you' to everyone who took the time to 'make' and contribute to 'Crafting Fashion'.
We can't thank Billy Reid and his team enough for hosting our pop-up shop and opening event. Billy has his corporate offices near our studio @ The Factory, in the Billy Reid flagship store and studio here in downtown Florence, Alabama. He employs artisan factories in Europe and America in crafting his men's, women's, and accessories collections. Of course we were drawn to his quilted jackets.
Susan Cianciolo debuted her newest work at 'Crafting Fashion'. As an artist and clothing designer, she continues to show regularly on the New York fashion calendar and maintains a strong base of private and retail clients.
Heath Ceramics displayed their new summer line, in addition to pieces from our recent collaboration. All pieces are hand-made at their factory in Sausalito, California. Catherine Bailey and her husband Robin Petravic purchased Heath Ceramics in 2003 and have built upon the work begun by Edith Heath.
Urchin necklaces from Hugo & Marie were juxtaposed against delicate plates. Hugo & Marie is an imaginative creative agency specializing in artist management founded in early 2008. They focus on direction, design, illustration, interactive, and representation services.
Imogene + Willie owners Carrie and Matt Eddmenson contributed oversized pillows made from antique Japanese denim. They have developed many modern day denim processes and finishes as well as products, fits, finishes, and branding for denim companies.
For the shop, Maria Moyer contributed pieces of her hand-formed porcelain jewelry. As a sculptor, Maria creates unglazed porcelain that she sands between firings to create a sea-shell-smooth finish.
The shop displayed handmade hats from Leigh Magar and Albertus Swanepoel. Leigh started Magar Hatworks almost 20 years ago in Charleston, South Carolina. She studied the classic hat making techniques at F.I.T.in Manhattan.
In 2006, Albertus formed his own company, Albertus Swanepoel LLC, which designs and produces handmade hats for a select number of stores in the US and internationally.
George Esquivel has spent the past 17 years designing and making shoes in California. For the past decade, he has operated Esquivel from a small manufacturing facility in Orange County, California.
Tucker by Gaby Basora was made in New York City, especially for the pop-up shop. Pieces included printed silk blouses and beautiful colorful skirts.
Kenlynn Wilson hand-produces each piece of knitwear for her line, ONE OF Collection, on non-mechanized knitting looms. We had the pleasure of having Kenlynn participate in our Sewing Workshop at the Standard East.
Alabama Chanin included both custom garments, home accessories, and pieces from our collection, including embroidered ponchos and our "Alabama Fur" coat.
("MAKESHIFT + A DIY Pop-up Shop" originally posted on the Alabama Chanin Journal)
"Craft" might seem like it's for the amateurs, and "fashion" for the auteurs. Yet we live in an age where creativity and innovation are increasingly found in collaborations between makers and users, crafters and designers, designers and manufacturers, and in the loosening of the boundaries between them. Open sourcing and the emergence of DIY everything (from apps to dresses to education) are THE design stories of the 21st century.
If the philosophers and economists are right, such stories reflect renewed possibilities for building communities, for growing businesses, and for practicing everyday forms of enchantment, ethics, and sustainability. It is time to expand our way of thinking about the relationship between craft and fashion, between the self-made and the ready-to-wear, between fashion as intellectual property and fashion as an open source. What can we learn from the fields of music, product design, and education? Does a backward glance help us see how fashion was at the forefront of these innovations from the start? What is a Vogue pattern if not an open source? What are les petits mains other than artists?

H2O Audio launches waterpoof iPod/iPhone armbands
updated 11:55 am EDT, Mon August 11, 2008
AMPHIBX waterproof armband
H2O Audio on Monday announced the release of its new AMPHIBX waterproof armbands. The armband allows surfers, wakeboarders, triathletes or anyone who wants to use an iPod in water to safely do so. The new product offers full waterproof protection inspired by wetsuit technology for all iPods, including the Touch, as well as the new iPhone 3G. Most other MP3 players and phones will also fit comfortably into the armbands. H20 says the wide variety of similar-sized devices is the reason that the AMPHIBX line was not designed to fit specific model; instead, H2O Audio offers two different sizes models that allow a multitude of devices to fit in the cases. It also leaves room for future products to fit, potentially future-proofing the purchase.
"Apple is the industry's Big Kahuna and we are committed to supporting its iPod and iPhone innovations," explained H2O's CEO Kristian Rauhala, "However, with all of its new product introductions and model refinements, that is no simple task."
The AMPHIBX features a LatchTight locking closure which ensures a watertight seal up to 12ft/3.6 meters underwater. The armband also features a ClearTouch window that allows complete operation of touch and click wheel controls even when submerged in water. The case has been designed to grip comfortably to an arm and hold through any watersport stresses. If it were to come lose, the case floats with a device inside. The AMPHIBX waterproof armband series costs $70 for a medium armband and $80 for a large.

Sure, plenty! I can't personally recommend any particular
one, nor do I know how many of these are available in the US,
or still available at all, but here's a good starting point:
(PMP = Personal Music Player)
My wife has one of the older iPods... Nano? (Small, but with
a small backlit LCD), and I have an iPod Touch from work.
I think my wife manages her music (but not that often) via
amaroK or gpod or something. The latter is used for nothing
but ebook testing purposes. (I don't even know my iTunes
account password offhand, so it's impossible for me to even
update the _free_ apps that are already installed on it!
Way back before iPods even existed, I had a music player
of some sort, that I was able to sync to my Linux box over
parallel port(?). These days, if I really wanted music
on the go, I'd shove stuff onto my Android phone.
We only really listen to music on our laptops or in the car,
and the car has an AUX in and we've got a GPS that has an SD
slot and can play MP3s.
If you're willing to live with a non-Linux-based MP3 and/or OGG Vorbis
player that you can still sync with a Linux desktop/laptop, then your
options probably open up (esp. if they just mount as a USB storage
device, and/or have an SD card)

To add to this thread allow me to quote valuable links for us FE owners. This one courtesy of McLeod.
What size are the tank paniers in your original picture. Are you still using them? If not, why not. I'm considering the same set up onmy bike for a little more storage on long trips and to move some weight forward too. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated.

The MySQL SELECT is a ubiquitous statement. You can select rows using the '*' operator or by listing the individual column names. But many times you may require using all the columns from a table except a couple of them. For example you may have a table containing twelve columns from which you require only eleven columns. Most of us will use the '*' operator in the SELECT statement rather than explicitly list all the eleven column names. But what if the column we do not require contains a large amount of BLOB data. It is inefficient to include the BLOB column in the query as it will unnecessarily increase the query load. What we want is to select all the columns except the BLOB column. We can construct the required statement using the 'SHOW COLUMNS' statement.
The following php function will return all the column names for a given table.
<?php function get_column_names($conn, $table_name) { $query = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM {$table_name}"; if(($result=mysql_query($query, $conn))) { /* Store the column names retrieved in an array */ $column_names = array(); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $column_names[] = $row['Field']; } return $column_names; } else return 0; } ?>
Now we create a function that returns a comma separated list of column names which we can then pass to the SELECT statement. The function also takes a array of column names we want to exclude.
<?php function create_statement($connection, $table_name, array $exclude) { /* $exclude contains the columns we do not want */ $column_names = get_column_names($connection, $table_name); $statement = ""; foreach($column_names as $name) { if(!in_array($name, $exclude)) { if($statement == "") $statement = $name; else $statement .= "," . $name; } } return $statement; } ?>
Now we create a list of columns and pass it to the SELECT statement.
/* We want to exclude columns 'post_author' and 'comment_count' from the table wp_posts */ $exclude = array("post_author", "comment_count"); $stmt_list = create_statement($connection, "wp_posts", $exclude); $query = "SELECT {$stmt_list} FROM wp_posts";

Is there some reason to essentially waste one query for getting the list of columns?
There are many cases when this might be useful. Take a typical example. You are designing a prototype Ajax/PHP application or a Web Service. There are many instances in the application where you have to shuffle data from the server to the client quickly. The extra overhead of a single query on the server is negligible in comparison to the amount of data transfer saved by dropping unrequested columns. It also saves the labor of typing a long list of column names in the SELECT query.
One other thing to point out. I've seen this type of code done in various places (the select to discover column names). One thing you can do, is cache that data aggressively, since it's rare your table definitions change.
Which means that you don't really have the overhead on every query, you do it once and keep it cached forever, and manually flush the cache if you change the table columns.
Onno Marsman
This is a really bad idea. When you would add columns to the table definition they transparently get inserted into a query like this. This way you aren't tracking which columns are used and which are not. So there's a big risk that eventually there will be columns that won't be used.
About the aggressively caching idea: It's not a bad idea: I would suggest to manually put the result directly in the query.
I'm with Onno about the issues with this.
Thanks for all the comments guys! I completely agree with Onno. But it still is a lot easy for me to use the above code while developing a quick prototype php application as I already said in my previous comment.
Just found your site – enjoying it quite a bit so far!!
Just curious – if you know which columns you DON'T want, would it make just as much sense to use the columns as keys, unset them, and implode the results? I haven't tried and I'm probably just barely NOT a noobie… just figured I'd ask if you can see a reason to use one method over the other.
Great site!
Not sure what you really mean. But if you are saying that we should 'SELECT' all the columns and then unset the ones we do not want and then display the result; then it destroys the main purpose of the above code. The idea is to not select the columns we want so that we can reduce the query load.
I think David's idea is not bad too… If said before that reducid query load was not your goal (as you are executing an extra query to fetch the table definition).
You could probably do a SELECT * and then unset the unused fields.

Best Free Driver Update Software For Windows
Find missing or outdated drivers for all your hardware components and install them with just a few clicks, with this free Driver update software for windows. Mismatched drivers , outdated drivers are the main reasons for system slow down and even system crashes. Your computers hardware Drivers are very critical component. But knowing when and how to update them is one of those computer things which many average computer users don't know.
So What is a driver?
System operating system Windows, doesn't know everything about every piece of hardware that is installed on a system. Just for an example you may have a network card installed, windows will detect and know that it's a network card but won't know how to make each and every possible network card to work. That's the job done by the hardware driver software or simply called as "Drivers". Driver update software for windows does the job of searching and installing the latest driver's for your hardware.
In most cases, drivers come with Windows when you install windows. So when you add a new hardware, windows detects it and just automatically installs the appropriate drivers. That's what we call it as "Plug and Play". But with so many hardware components available today, its not possible to have all those drivers included with windows. That's the reason why hardware manufacturer's includes the driver CD/DVD with your hardware.
On the same line again these hardware manufacturer releases updated versions of the drivers for the their hardware,from time to time, so as to make it perform better and also for different versions of windows. The problem here is how to know when a driver gets updated, or which hardware component of your system needs to be checked for a driver update. It's a daunting task considering the fact that there are so many components inside a PC and each of these is controlled by its own driver.
This is where a dedicated stand alone tool comes in handy, driver update software for windows, which scans all your hardware and related drivers and searches for any updated version from the manufacturer site and downloads for you.
DRIVER EASY is such a software a free driver update software for windows, which scans your system in search of all missing or outdated drivers, and lets you download those directly from the program's interface.

Its very easy to use. After installation of the software, just click on the big "SCAN NOW" button in the middle of the programs window.
Within a few minutes the software scans and analyzes all the hardware of your system and displays a list of all necessary drivers for your hardware and software configuration, including the installed drivers, missing and outdated drivers. If you want to fix or download them simply click the "Get Drivers" button and Driver easy will display a list with direct download links for each one.

Huguenot Bridge beam installations begin tonight
Starting tonight, construction crews will begin installing beams for the second half of the new Huguenot Memorial Bridge over the James River. The beam installations will take place between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. Monday through Friday through Sept. 7, weather permitting. There will be no beam installations on Labor Day.
For driver safety, traffic will be stopped periodically for up to 45 minutes each night as cranes lift 80,000 pound steel beams over the bridge and secure them into place on the new bridge. Huguenot Bridge traffic will resume between beam installations.
To avoid delays during the beam installations, VDOT recommends Huguenot Road (Route 147) drivers use the following alternate routes:
"The contractor is installing these heavy beams from the temporary causeway on the west side of the bridge in order to reduce the weight over a critical water main on the east side of the bridge," said Harold Dyson, district construction manager. "Crews will secure the beams as quickly as possible to limit driver delays each night." The contractor expects to install 22 beams through Sept. 7 and another 22 beams in October (schedule to be announced).
Efforts to build a new bridge to replace the 62-year old Huguenot Memorial Bridge began in October 2010. Traffic was shifted to the first half of the new bridge on June 30. Demolition of the old bridge is underway. The second half of the new bridge is expected to be completed and open to drivers in summer 2013. The $54.5 million project is currently on schedule for final completion in October 2013.
