Golf Creations Breaks Ground on Nicklaus Design in Illinois
Course builder Golf Creations has broken ground in Sherrard, Ill., on a new Nicklaus Design that, due to its proximity to Moline, has drawn an extraordinary level of involvement from another name brand, John Deere.
In the meantime, trees are being cleared and grading underway at Fyre Lake National Golf Club & Marina, where Golf Creations Field Operations Manager Kevin Stieneke hopes to rough out nine holes and lay irrigation before the snow flies. Chris Rule, the Nicklaus design architect presiding at Fyre Lake, anticipates a spring 2009 opening for the 18-hole, 6,600-yard, par-70 layout.
While Golf Creations is the sister construction division of Marengo, Ill-based Lohmann Golf Designs (LGD), Golf Creations routinely builds the designs of other architects. However, this is the first time Golf Creations has built a Nicklaus Design, according to Bob Lohmann, founder and president Golf Creations and LGD.
"It's been a great pleasure to work with the Nicklaus Design organization. To say that everything has been done 'first class' is something of an understatement," said Lohmann, who noted that Paul Latshaw Jr., superintendent at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, was recently on site at Fyre Lake offering agronomic consultation, something he does routinely for Nicklaus Design projects.
"It's just another example of how Nicklaus Design does everything the right way, and that's the way we do it - so we feel it's a fine match. Selfishly, this particular project also helps dispel the idea that Golf Creations works only on Lohmann Golf Designs projects. We're proud of the LGD projects that Golf Creations has built, on the design-build model, but we relish the opportunity to work with all the top architects - we just finished another job, a renovation, with Arthur Hills at Westmoreland Country Club in Chicago. These projects show that we are trusted in the marketplace to do any construction job exactly right."
The project site in Sherrard will be a challenge to contractor and architect. Some of the topographical changes are dramatic, and Rule explained that a some 500,000 cubic yards of dirt will be moved to place the holes and residential units comfortably on the terrain.
"So far so good, but it's going to take quite a bit of earthwork to make the course and residential elements work together," Rule said. "It's important to blend them properly, and this is where we've enjoyed working with Bob [Lohmann] and Kevin Stieneke. They know what they're doing . . . Right now the course is only about 6,600 yards, maybe a bit less. But the layout is still evolving. Before it's 100 percent completed, we'll try to get a little more length out of it."
Lohmann, past president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, noted that Fyre Lake will be "plenty of golf course" at whatever yardage. "Chris is right to squeeze all the length he can out of this routing, but this was never going to be a 7,400-yard monster of a course," he said. "Let the PGA Tour worry about building the next 8,000-yard course that no one but the world's best players can handle - besides, all those extra yards cost money!
"With the vegetation here and the elevated views down to the lake, this is going to be a beautiful golf course. And with all the topography and the bunkering, it's going to be plenty of golf course."
The project site in Sherrard is located just south of Moline, world headquarters for golf equipment giant John Deere, whose One Source program was designed to be a one-stop shop for new course development projects like Fyre Lake. Because the course site is so close to Moline (just 15 miles), the company has taken its involvement with Fyre Lake one step further, designating Fyre Lake National Golf Club & Marina a John Deere "Company Town" project. This entitles Fyre Lake's developers (Paul H. Van Henkelum, CEO of Wisconsin-based RSV Engineering, Inc.) and its contractor (Golf Creations) to additional discounts in the purchase of equipment and supplies.
Golf Creations is well known for finishing its projects on time and on budget, but this will surely assist in holding the golf course budget at Fyre Lake GC to its estimated $6 million. "Any time you can save the developer money without compromising the golf course product, well, that's a no-brainer. So the Company Town designation is a welcome tool," Stieneke said. "We see our role as a dual advocate. We're the developer's on-course agents, striving to keep costs down. By the same token, because Golf Creations has such a familiarity with the design process, we're also able to advocate for the architect - and the golf course - when the architect is not on site. We want to make the course look and play its best while building it in the most economical fashion."
Golf Creations routinely handles construction of Lohmann's original designs (the new Blackstone Golf Club in Marengo, Ill., the nationally acclaimed Canyata in Marshall, Ill., just named to Golfweek's top 50 new courses built in the last three years), in addition to LGD renovations including Midlothian CC and Grand Geneva Resort & Spa in Lake Geneva, Wis. But GC has also worked, and drawn similar plaudits, for its work with architects Ron Prichard (at Exmoor CC in Highland Park, Ill.), Greg Nash (Whisper Creek Golf Club in Huntley, Ill.), Craig Schreiner (Oconomowoc (Wis.) Country Club, and Arthur Hills at Westmoreland CC in Wilmette, Ill.

Kyle Busch has won four of the last six Sprint Cup races at Bristol Motor Speedway.
One of his biggest rivals, Brad Keselowski, won the last Cup race at Bristol, an event in which Busch could only muster a 14th-place finish.
Both head to Bristol this weekend looking for their first win of the year after solid seasons in 2011—Busch won five races, Keselowski three. It would be no surprise to see them running up front at Bristol again, and no surprise to see them trade some paint as they have in the past on the high-banked, .533-mile concrete oval.
Both drivers have had disappointing finishes this year. Keselowski has a fifth-place finish to go along with two 32nd-place finishes and sits 21st in the standings.
Busch has only one top 10—sixth at Phoenix—and is 12th in the standings. In two of the three races this year, he has failed to lead a lap.
"I like going to Bristol," Busch said. "It's always fun. What set in there to allow me to run as well as I do? I've got no idea. It just kind of clicked. I think I missed a little bit of some of that stuff last fall, just not having the car setup right and trying too many different things that we're not quite used to.
"We ventured from the path a little bit and it seems like when you can get a good setup somewhere you ought to stick with it and try to just fine-tune on it."

Busch has won four Nationwide races and three truck races at Bristol to go along with his five Cup wins. In August 2010, he swept all three series at the track and then swept both Nationwide and Cup races in March 2011.
He has won the last three Nationwide races at the track.
"We kind of upset the apple cart last fall," Busch said. "We just didn't have a very good weekend there. With the truck race, we kind of got crashed out there (in an exchange with Elliott Sadler). The Nationwide race, I barely beat Joey (Logano), which was good, (and) we won.
"Then the Cup race, we just made so many changes to the car based off how the Nationwide car ran that it threw us out for a loop."
Keselowski has won twice at Bristol, in August 2008 in the Nationwide race and then last August in the Cup event.
"Bristol is just one of the tracks that I just circle every year on my calendar and so I can't wait to go there," Keselowski said. "The feeling that I got walking into that place the first time is the feeling I still get to this day and it's to me what this sport is all about.
"There are tracks that have more prestige or pay bigger purses, but to me, Bristol, it's the deal. It's the place I look up to."

You have an awesome neighborhood. It's perfect for bike riding. Glad you guys get out and explore. I forgot about you guys walking to the video store.ReplyDelete
beautiful! words, photos and place to live.ReplyDelete
Dear StephanieReplyDelete
Our house is also about 200m from the ocean. What a blessing to have the waves singing a lullabye every night when I go to sleep. And when the sea mst is thick, I open the sliding door to my room and allow the breeze in for a fresh visit.

Same here! The sliding door in our room is almost always cracked for me to hear! Wonderful.Delete
Oh I so love this neighborhood. I dream of being your neighbor. XoReplyDelete
I would like to be your neighbor, too! I do the same thing with my kids- no more technology! OUTSIDE NOW!ReplyDelete
Lovely words, lovely pictures.
Found you on the Just Write hop!
time sure does change right! I find myself having a hard time letting them go all-by-themselves, so I go and do with them. They LOVE it, but makes me tired. I guess that is a compromise that I have to do, and I gladly do it, over and over again :-)ReplyDelete
Sounds like a lovely place to call home. I've said it once and I'll say it again --> so happy for you!ReplyDelete

Now that you mention it, I used to get sleep paralysis often before going low carb primal. It would happen just upon falling asleep or upon waking. It's terrifying! Thankfully, I haven't had an episode in ages but never made the connection until now.

In 1925, Lederer1 first called attention to a form of acute, rapidly progressive anemia, accompanied by fever, general weakness, marked pallor and splenic and hepatic enlargement, with severe leukocytosis and erythroblastemia. Another striking characteristic of the picture was the rapid, permanent recovery to normal, following a transfusion of whole blood. The recovery not only demonstrated itself clinically by the general improvement of the patient, but also in the return of a normal hematologic picture.
In the literature, one finds similar cases reported by Brill,2 Steffens,3 and Benhamou, Jude and Gill.4 Krumbhaar,5 Osler,6 and Elsner7 referred to forms of acute pernicious anemia, which somewhat resemble this type, but which are secondary to other conditions, including syphilis. More recently, Holst,8 and Christiansen9 reported two typical cases, both believing that this entity bore no relationship to pernicious anemia. Christiansen was unable to demonstrate

On quitting my job and freedom

Runoff Voting
Arise! Bookstore
Runoff Voting is a unique concept that has been tried in locales such
as San Francisco, Cambridge, Mass., and Ireland, and now folks are trying
to bring it to Minnesota. Using this system, instead of just casting one
vote for one candidate, voters rank the candidates: 1, 2, 3, and on down
the line. If no candidate receives a majority of the #1 votes, the candidate
with the least total of #1 votes is eliminated; then, the second choice
votes from these voters' ballots become #1 votes for other candidates.
The ballots are recounted, and candidates are eliminated in this fashion
until one winner emerges with a majority of the vote. Thus, the system
ensures a majority winner in each election and does away with the primary.
Yes, it does away with the primary. Why? There's no need for a primary
if all the candidates can run in a general election and still have an
ensured majority winner … Without IRV, the winner can win with less
than 50 percent of the vote. How do we really know they have a mandate
(besides, of course, if they say so)? What's more, without a primary,
everyone saves money! Would this work for Minneapolis? Come to the event
and find out, or at least learn more. 7 p.m. Free. 2441 Lyndale Ave

The Artists' Quarter
When I was just a sapling and, having been completely floored by David
King's drumming in Love-cars, decided to check out his other
projects, I discovered where his heart really lies: difficult jazz. And
I mean difficult in the best possible way. Under the name F*K*G, Scott
Fultz (tenor sax), Dean Granros (guitar) and King lay down some stuff
that isn't going to weasel its way into your subconscious: it's
going to kick down the door and demand to be understood on its own terms,
and that's a quality that's sorely lacking in a lot of music
these days. It's a tricky line to walk: on one side, there's
the chasm of music that substitutes abstractness for substance; on the
other, music that satisfies a base ear without trying for more. Fultz,
King and Granros (performing that most difficult of stunts: taking jazz
guitar past bland Wes Montgomer-ations without losing control) tap dance
along that ridge, dropping in melodies and grooves as waypoints that serve
to guide you through the tumult. They'll be joined by bassist Adam
Linz for this outing. 9 p.m. $3. 21+. 408 St. Peter St., St. Paul.

Hot Tuna

original Hot Tuna was a hell of a band. Too bad they never recorded. Spun-off
from San Francisco's historic Jefferson Airplane in 1969 or so,
you had Airplane personnel (lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, bass player
Jack Casady and singer Marty Balin) moonlighting with Peter Kaukonen (second
guitar) and Joey Covington (drums). Still, they haven't done bad
for themselves. The two-man jam band nucleus, Chicago-blues devotee Jorma
Kaukonen and dyed-in-the-wool jazzer Jack Casady, have gone through varied
incarnations over some 20 albums and, maybe, the most live shows this
side of The Grateful Dead and James Brown. And the boys are back in town,

Belfry Center
Just about a month ago the Belfry Center debuted in south Minneapolis
as a collectively run community space and art gallery—a collaboration
among the Bat Annex Free School, Daybreak
Newspaper and local radical artists. The ambitions of the Center reflect
the energy and ideals of its 15 to 20 young and enthusiastic members who
strive to "foster democracy and build community through arts, activism,
media and education" and make all decisions by consensus. This weekend
the Belfry hosts its Winter Market—welcoming guests to a holiday
arts and craft sale that features items from a number of local artists.
There'll be cocoa for drinking, cookies for frosting, board games
for playing and live music, too. The Belfry's Bat Annex Free School
is a unique endeavor, currently offering classes in quilting, French and
Spanish to students of all ages, and they're all F-R-E-E. Future
gallery shows include a found-objects exhibit, and submissions are being
accepted now. Noon – 4 p.m. Free. 3753 Bloomington Ave. S., Mpls.

Doomtree Blowout
The Varsity Theater
heads agree, but the public at large might not know: Rap is only one of
the four elements of the culture of hip-hop. If you extrapolate out from
the MC, the DJ, the graffiti writer and the B-boy, think of the elements
as linguistic expression, musical expression, visual expression and kinetic
expression. Now, put 'em all in a renovated theater and you've
got the Doomtree
Blowout at the Varsity. Just having the whole Doomtree roster in one place
for two full-length sets is reason enough to attend (keep your eyes peeled
for Emily Bloodmobile), but add in a wheat paste mural by design and art
collective KHS which'll be created live in reaction to the music,
a video premiere, breakdancing crews flexing to Doomtree DJs and giveaways
and you've got the makings for one of the hottest nights in recent
memory. With P.O.S. slated to drop his sophomore album in late January
'06, Mictlan hard at work on his debut and Sims' Lights Out
Paris sure to make many critics' top ten lists for 2005, this show
has historic potential, so don't be the person 10 years from now
telling people how you almost went, but instead stayed home to watch the
Jim Carrey version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" on
Channel 5. Cindy Lou Who can wait. 9 p.m. $8. 18+. 1308 4th St. SE.,
Mpls. 612-604-0222. McPherson
Shillock, Desdamona, David Daniels
Acadia Café
Shillock, Desdamona
and David
Daniels. It just might be the last time you can catch these three
at the same gig. Daniels is rumored to be headed for the Left Coast. Besides
which both Shillock and Desdamona need to be heading their own bills.
Shillock, who denies being the headliner (but does admit to being the
ringleader that set the gig up), is one of the strongest poets in town.
And he's just released the CD Invisible Jazz. Four-time Minnesota
Music Award-winner Desdamona is due to blow up any minute. Especially
since Sly and Robbie's stint as co-producers on her CD, The Ledge.
If Daniels is going anywhere, he sure enjoyed a hellified stay while he
was around, culminating with his tour de force CD Talkin' Roots.
Fortune smiles. Three smoking performers at one shot. Wouldn't do
to sleep on this one. 7:30 p.m. $7. 1931 Nicollet Ave. S., Mpls. 612-874-8702.

Brokeback Mountain
Walker Art Center
A gay Western, huh? OK, mainstream cinema could stand to widen its scope
beyond "The Bird Cage." Director Ang Lee's new offering,
"Brokeback Mountain" does exactly that, stacking the deck
with Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. They play Ennis Del Mar and Jack
Twist, modern day cowboys who fall in love and then find themselves, over
the next 20 years, dealing with the consequences—not the least of
which includes keeping things secret from their wives. Of course, there's
also the requisite intolerance and rabid homophobia in rural America.
Gifted veteran Randy Quaid is on hand as the foreman where Del Mar and
Twist are working when they meet. Winner of the Golden Lion for Best Film
at the 2005 Venice Film Festival. 2 p.m. $8 ($6 members). 1750 Hennepin

Lee & James Schamus
Walker Art Center
This should be good. The month-long series of films by director Ang Lee
concludes with a discussion between Lee and his frequent collaborator,
producer James Schamus. They'll talk about their collaborative process
as director, producer and co-writers of a wide-ranging body of work, reflecting
as well on their creative history, and illustrating with clips from their
films. Lee once said of his crowning achievement, "Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon": "I think … filmmakers have become more
mature individually, and that's a good sign [that] it's not
a trend that will come and go. I think it could be the beginning of a
good development. In terms of subtitled movies, I hope [it] will break
out of art-house ghettos. Not that it doesn't have artistic values,
but I hope we break that barrier." Unfortunately the barrier will
take at least a bit more wearing down. Meanwhile, Lee certainly has prevailed
well beyond any pigeonhole. 7 p.m. $22 ($15 members). 1750 Hennepin
Ave., Mpls. 612-375-7600. Hobbes

Two hundred years of settlement in Moreland Township will be celebrated on Sept. 14.
Seven sites throughout the township will be open for visiting from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with presentations, skits and refreshments at many of the locations.
People are free to visit the sites in any order during the day, though it might be advisable to stop by the Moreland Township Building, at 1220 Moreland Township Road, to get one's bearings.
"The headquarters is the Moreland Township building," Anita Wagner, bicentennial committee secretary, said. "We will have displays of old and new equipment, have our souvenir booklet for sale, and our coffee mugs."
Ice cream sundaes will be on sale at the "Eight-square" school, the first school in Lycoming County.
"They'll be having an ice cream social, and people will be dressed in schoolmarm attire talking about what education was like 200 years ago," Wagner said.
Fact Box
WHAT: Moreland Township Bicentennial Celebration
WHEN: 10 a.m. to after 5 p.m. Sept. 14
WHERE: Closing ceremonies at 5 p.m. at Moreland Baptist Church, 118 Moreland
Baptist Road
The East Lycoming Historical Society will be set up at the Lairdsville covered bridge.
"They'll be presenting information about Moreland's first families, and a long-lost spot called Ferndale, it was a picnic area," Wagner said. "The Muncy Creek Watershed Association will be there as well. There will be a photo op area there, and weather permitting, we'll have horse and wagon rides."
The two churches in the township are participating.
"At Moreland Community Church, there will be a presentation about the history of the church, with some information about the hand-painted murals on the walls of that church," Wagner said. "At Moreland Baptist they'll be having a presentation about the church history and light refreshments."
A horse and wagon team will be demonstrated at the Wallis Mill, and people will be at the Canusarago Grange, formerly the Frenchtown school, to talk about the history of that building.
At 5 p.m. on the Moreland Baptist grounds, a closing ceremony will be held. State Rep. Garth Everett, R-Muncy, and East Lycoming schools Superintendent Michael Pawlik will speak, several singing groups will perform, and drawings will be held for prizes donated to the bicentennial.
Everyone who visits all seven sites will be entered into the drawings, for free, Wagner said. Prizes include handmade baskets, an original painting and a handmade porch swing.

Bright purple. Intense, mineral-accented aromas of black and blue fruits and cola, with a sexy floral topnote. Sappy, palate-staining blackberry and bitter cherry flavors show superb depth and energy, with a spine of juicy acidity adding lift and structure. Rich but lively, with excellent finishing clarity and slow-mounting tannins. For such a powerful wine there's a lithe character here, which I've come to expect from Balthazar's wines over the years.

Cooperative agreement through the University of Minnesota, to monitor and evaluate the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility Grant Program (Flex Program). The monitoring project is assessing the impact of the Flex Program on Critical Access Hospitals and their communities and the role of states in achieving overall program objectives.
Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy
National Rural Hospital Flexibility Monitoring Project 2010-2011
Cutler Institute awarded $600,000 to help youth raised in foster system
USM's Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy has been awarded a $600,000 grant to help young people raised in Maine's foster system to prepare for college and the workforce.
The money comes from the Annie E. Casey Foundation as part of a $5.4 million national effort aimed at youth who are homeless or in either the foster care or juvenile justice systems.
"Many of these young people have suffered abuse or trauma and were raised in poverty and neglect," said Marty Zanghi, the Cutler Center's youth development director.
The money -- including an expected $400,000 more in matching funds -- will pay for contracted work with agencies in the target areas, starting with the greater Portland area and Penobscot, Kennebec and Somerset counties.
Nationally and in Maine, only about 3 percent of people who grow up in the foster care system achieve a college degree, he said.
"It's dramatically lower than the rate for the general population," Zanghi said. "It's a horrible outcome."
It doesn't have to be that way, though.
"There are young people that overcome these circumstances," he said. "I know people who have master's degrees and Ph.Ds."
The Casey Foundation's national effort is being called the "Learn and Earn to Achieve Potential" (LEAP) initiative.
The initiative is working on partnerships in Maine and nine other areas: Alaska, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and New York. In each case, people will adapt two evidence-based models to meet the needs of these youth, including support to address the trauma they may have experienced in their lives.
In Maine, the work will include a pair of successful programs, Jobs for Maine Graduates (JMG) and Jobs for the Future. Results will be carefully tracked, Zanghi said.
After the first year, the program is expected to grow.
"Eventually, the additional help will be available to all children, 14 and over, in the foster care system in the state of Maine," Zanghi said.

myPhone: The Really, Really Big Review
The iPhone is a success. For everyone who thought that it would limp out of the gate and have little to no effect on the cell phone industry, it would be a good time to look for a little crow. Regardless of the final number sold, the iPhone has done a number of things that truly define success and truly define innovation.
First, the iPhone has changed consumer expectations of how a cell phone should work, how it should appeal to the senses, and how beautifully the interface works. It also showed that a good chunk of the public was willing to pay for their phones if only those phones were actually good. It isn't just the well-to-do or people who need the constant contact of a smart phone that went crazy for the iPhone; it was people who liked the idea of an easy-to-use almost smart phone that integrated useful features in a stylish package.
Which isn't to say that the iPhone is perfect or even that its features are for everyone. It's just to say that this imperfect (I would still suggest that Apple released a stable beta on a willing public and that is just now getting close to a fully functional release) phone from Apple has not only sold well, but it has changed the industry. That Apple accomplished this with their first shot at the industry has to have the bigger players feeling a little nervous.
Apple didn't achieve the feat without engineering a beautiful piece of technology.
The first and most important thing to the iPhone's success is the interface. The touchscreen, which lets users interact with the phone in an simple way, is only part of the story. The organization and simplicity of the thing make it quick to learn, but the hidden features (like double tapping on a browser window to zoom in and then zoom out on a section of the screen) make it an absolute joy to use. It works well not just because most of the bits are so well designed, but because it encourages discovery.
Yes, that makes it sound a little like a toy, but that isn't the right way to view the achievement. It is an incredibly useful phone with powerful network capabilities that opened my eyes to the possibilities of a cell phone. My last cell phone--a Motorola SLVR--had some of the same features as my iPhone. At least, it listed those features in the ads.

Police in Northampton County say imposters are posing as utility workers.
They're warning you to be careful who you let into your home.
Residents on Ferry Street in Wilson Borough, Northampton County, say it's usually quiet.
Now they are wondering who the men are walking the street posing as UGI workers.
"I just don't really know what their advantage would be other than to rob your house maybe," said Wilson Borough resident John Bogansky.
"We just want to make sure to remind everyone that scheduled UGI work typically takes place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.," said Becky Eshback, spokesperson for UGI.
Wilson borough police say the men, with Jamaican accents, were walking around the neighborhood at 8 p.m. on Tuesday night.
And they were knocking on a lot of doors.
"UGI employees wear a blue uniform with a UGI logo clearly specified right on the chest," added Eshbach. "Also we have an employee ID badge that you can see the employee's name along with their picture."
One man actually saw the men and talked to them.
He gave them a UGI account number but when he got suspicious he ripped up the paperwork and asked for it back.
"They asked me to see my electric bill and gas bill UGI and MetEd to see if I was eligible for a discount of some sort," said Michael Stull, who lives on Ferry Street.
Michael Stull says the worker filled out all the paperwork.
Then started calling in the numbers.
The men fit the police description.
"The guy on the phone had a Jamaican accent as well and I noticed there was a guy across the street and I just said to my girlfriend the guy on the phone had a Jamaican accent so I figured he could be sitting in the car somewhere," said Stull.
Stull ripped up the paper.
"Nothing made sense to what he was saying," added Stull
"At this time we are pursuing them, by the look and by the help of the homeowner in this instance and hopefully finding them soon," said Eshbach.
The men don't work for UGI.
We tried to call the company on the letterhead, but the office was closed.

I really, really like the look of this t-shirt, especially in Tan and am thinking of buying it.
I haven't bought any AA chiffon as yet, and I wonder how easy this item is to care for, like normally I just throw stuff into the washing machine then hang it up to dry. I won't go the dry cleaning route.
Anyone out there care to share their washing experiences with AA chiffon? Thanks.

So far, my experiences have been pretty good. Since these are polyester chiffon, I'm not too worried about spills, but I try to be careful. I have the chiffon skirt in the color Port, and the chiffon puff sleeve blouse in the blue color. I have gotten some oil spots on the blouse, but they did come out after I used a grease/stain remover, washed in cold water and then I laid it flat to dry. The skirt I have also washed in cold water. They are maybe not the easiest fabrics to maintain, but I would still buy something in chiffon again. I have a 9 month old baby and I love to cook, so my only recommendation when you wear the chiffon is a long apron!

i got the 'tan' one, and it's really elegant. the texture and the color are really lovely, and the shape is so understated that it could be dressy or casual. this is the first thing ever that i've bought from american apparel, and so far i'm impressed with the quality. hopefully it will hold up!

I love this, what a perfect piece.
The price seems unreasonable. I Love aa and shop here exclusively because I believe in your company from an ideological basis. I think a great idea for you guys would be to have an explanation of your pricing process. I trust you, but it would be such great act of transparency....you guys are a real role model to Capitalists everywhere: you made something great from nothing. Keep up with that!! Businesses can be powers for change!
Anyway, I love this shirt. I want to know why I want to give you $45 for it.

the details in the neckline and sleeve are amazing and done really well. it makes this piece look a lot more dressy and well-put together. with the sleeves were a little more loose. but nonetheless this is another great american apparel chiffon piece.
great to just throw on for summer weather or to dress up and layer for a night outfit.

And the reason you want to upgrade the drive is ... ?
Here's a thought for you; if you're going to get a 20 GB anyway,
use it for Linux and don't touch the original drive except to
put a GRUB boot block on it. (The actual /boot partition
can live on the second drive.)
Or you can split it 10-10, so that Windows gets a D: drive and
Linux can use the other 10; one can even share if one formats
it FAT32.

Adrian Clayborn Vows to Compete Hard to Win Left Defensive End
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made some upgrades on the defensive line this?offseason,?including signing Michael Johnson to a five-year deal worth $43.75?million,? a move that solidified him as the starting right defensive end.?That's meant Adrian Clayborn, Da'Quan Bowers,?William Gholston and Steven Means?will?all be battling it out?to start on the?left?side.
Clayborn, a starter?from last year, figures to?be?the front-runner, although that will come with some challenges.?Up until this point in his NFL career, he primarily lined up on?the right side. But?in this system, he'll?line up on the left, where?a condition known as Erb's Palsy?-- an injury to the?neck/shoulder area during birth that results in nerve damage -- puts him at a natural disadvantage. Team's also typically line their tight ends up on that side, another obstacle for Clayborn.
Here,?he talks about those challenges, his expectations for his first camp under new head coach Lovie Smith and entering the final year of his rookie contract.

Spanish students aim for the Moon
No matter how good the paper mache volcano that you built at school was, your effort will most likely pale in comparison to the school project being undertaken by a group of Spanish students. These students are designing a ball-shaped mini-robot named PicoRover that they plan to send to the Moon as their entry in the Google Lunar X PRIZE. To claim the US$30 million prize the robot will need to travel 500m and transmit video, images and data back to Earth.
PicoRover – pico for picogram because it weighs less than 1kg, and rover because it is a lunar explorer – employs a spherical design that will allow it to move along the low gravity and uneven surface of rock and ash of the lunar surface. The team from the Castelldefels School of Technology (EPSC), part of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) - Barcelona Tech in Spain, has also developed a controller for the device. It works with a small computer built into the ball that weighs only 2g and is equipped with Wi-Fi.
For sending images back to Earth, the robot is equipped with a 353 high-definition camera manufactured by Elphel, one of the companies sponsoring the project. The group is working on developing antennas for sending the images captured with the camera back to Earth.
The ESPC group has developed several prototypes of the PicoRover with the goal of developing a fully autonomous robot capable of moving or stopping as required on the lunar surface.
The prototype on which the group is currently working is a ball measuring 12cm in diameter that houses a motor, battery, remote control system and a high-definition camera. The entire device weighs less than 250g and, like most school projects, the ball is built from low-cost, common-use materials such as light bulbs, aluminum foil, and steel wire.
However, the ball is capable of protecting its inner components from the high lunar temperatures and of climbing up sandy slopes at angles of up to 30° – a feat that can tax wheeled vehicles.
Getting aroundA lightweight mechanism involving a crown and a motor with a counterweight creates a "roly-poly" toy effect that enables the ball to roll in one direction without using four wheels. The PicoRover also includes a hemispherical window housing a high-resolution camera that stays horizontal regardless of the position of the counterweight.
The group has tested this counterweight system on the sand at a beach near Barcelona with better than expected results. The ball has been able to hold its position on a sandy surface with a 33° slope - an angle that would send any other ball without spikes rolling back down.
A PicoRover NetworkIts builders claim the PicoRover could operate on its own or as part of a group of other PicoRovers communicating over a radio network, provided they stayed within a 100m range of each other. They say that if this were to be done, it would be the first network of sensors to operate on the Moon.
Team FREDNETThe group of EPC students, led by professor Joshua Martinez, is part of the
Altogether, the effort brings together 500 people from 64 countries to share the dream of putting a device on the Moon. Their commitment, if they should win, is to give the proceeds of the award to a non-government organization (NGO).
Being open source there are a number of Rover designs that have been proposed from different FREDNET participants. These various designs will be tested and evaluated before one or more is chosen to make the trip to the Moon – which is to take place "as early as fiscally possible".

The Indianapolis Colts came back from 28 points down to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 45-44 in a wild start to the NFL postseason.
ESPN's Jay Harris summed up the excitement with this tweet:
What a game. What a game. #Colts #Chiefs— Jay Harris (@JayHarrisESPN) January 5, 2014
This game was light on defense but heavy on big plays from both sides. Andrew Luck led the way for the Colts with 443 passing yards and five total touchdowns, although he also had three interceptions in the win.
His biggest play was a 64-yard touchdown to T.Y. Hilton with about four minutes left to give the Colts the lead and eventually the victory.
Meanwhile, Alex Smith was almost as impressive for the losing side as he finished with 378 passing yards and four touchdowns while adding 57 yards on the ground. Unfortunately, he could not close things out with the team's biggest offensive weapon, Jamaal Charles, sidelined after sustaining a concussion early in the game, according to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald:
Jamaal Charles is out for the game with a concussion.— Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe) January 4, 2014
The team also saw Knile Davis, Donnie Avery, Brandon Flowers, Justin Houston and others go down with various injuries during the contest. These issues and a few lucky bounces allowed the Colts back into the game in a crazy back-and-forth contest that will be remembered for years.
Kansas City sent a message with the opening drive of the game by scoring a touchdown on a 15-play, 82-yard drive. However, Luck was not going to be outdone and answered right back by going 7-for-7 and a touchdown on the Colts' first drive.
However, the next few possessions featured a stretch of dominance from the Chiefs as Smith continued to make plays with both his arm and his legs. He helped put the team up 17-7 with a 79-yard touchdown pass to Donnie Avery.
After a Trent Richardson fumble, Smith threw his third touchdown pass of the day after an impressive scramble around the goal line.
By halftime, the Chiefs were able to build up an impressive 31-10 lead. Jeremy Lundblad of ESPN provided a look at how impressive this was:
The Chiefs' 31 points are tied for the most EVER at halftime of a road playoff game— Jeremy Lundblad (@JLundbladESPN) January 4, 2014
Shortly into the second half, Knile Davis put Kansas City up 38-10 with his second score of the day. At this point, it seemed like everyone not on the Colts sideline believed the game was over. However, things were just getting started at Lucas Oil Stadium.
After the Colts finally got their second touchdown on a Donald Brown run, Pro Bowl linebacker Robert Mathis came through with a big sack that led to a fumble. ESPN noted how the play could be a big turning point in the game:
Not so fast! The @Colts score 14 unanswered after a HUGE forced fumble by Robert Mathis! We have a ball game!— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) January 4, 2014
Indianapolis eventually cut the lead to 41-31 on a Coby Fleener touchdown, followed by an improbable score by Luck off a fumble to make it 41-38 early in the fourth quarter.
Kansas City added on a field goal, but the Colts just needed a few more plays before Luck connected with Hilton on an incredible 64-yard touchdown play to give them a 45-44 lead. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith represented most of America with his assessment:
This is absolutely unbelievable. What a comeback. Luck is a baaaaaadddd young man. And Hilton isn't shabby, eithr— Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) January 5, 2014
Although the Chiefs had a chance to retake the lead in the final minutes, a failed fourth-down conversion allowed the Colts to come away with the incredible win.
The Colts showed the scene in the locker room after the game via Instagram:
This continues a poor stretch of postseason play for the Chiefs, as noted by this interesting ESPN stat:
The last time the Chiefs won a playoff game (1/16/94), Joe Montana was their QB and Marcus Allen was their RB.— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) January 4, 2014
On the other side, Luck gets his first of what will likely be many playoff wins in a promising career. The Colts will travel to face either the Denver Broncos or the New England Patriots in the next round.
Alex Smith, QB, Chiefs: A
The term "game manager" is often thrown around as a description for Alex Smith. With many of his teammates going down with injuries, the quarterback was far from that on Saturday.
Smith made excellent throws all game and also helped himself with some surprising mobility to help put the Chiefs in a position to win. Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com was one of many who were impressed with the performance:
I've seen Alex Smith play good football over the last few years but I don't think I've ever seen him play at this level.— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) January 4, 2014
Although he could not pull out a win, he deserves loads of praise for his effort in this game.
Dwayne Bowe, WR, Chiefs: A
As previously noted, the Chiefs ran out of playmakers due to injuries. However, Dwayne Bowe was able to stay on the field and make as much of an impact as he has all season for the Chiefs.
The veteran receiver finished with eight catches for 150 yards and a touchdown. Considering his season high was 70 receiving yards this season, it is clear that this was an unexpected performance.
Although he was unable to get his feet in bounds on the final offensive play, he still was a big reason the Chiefs were able to score 44 points in this game against a quality defense.
Andrew Luck, QB, Colts: A-
This was far from Luck's best game as a quarterback. He made a number of mistakes and threw three interceptions, although not all of them were his fault.
However, the young player was able to keep a short memory and come back with a big play almost every time his team needed it. His final touchdown pass is something that will probably be on his career highlight reel for years to come.
Additionally, he proved that he can never be counted out in a game regardless of the score.
T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts: A+
When Reggie Wayne went down with a torn ACL earlier in the year, T.Y. Hilton was asked to step up and become the No. 1 receiver. He proved he has that ability with a fantastic performance against the Chiefs.
The speedster caught 13 passes for 224 yards plus two touchdowns in the game. Even when Luck was obviously throwing to his top target, Hilton was able to find a way to get open and make a catch.
His biggest play came with just over four minutes left as he caught the 64-yard pass to put the Colts up for the first time in the game. Hilton is clearly ready to become one of the top players in the NFL at his position.

HSBC Warns on U.S. as Profits Rise 10%
The bank's U.S. business may need until 2009 to recover from subprime woes, but its Europe and Asia Pacific arms pulled in enough to save the bottom line
Banking giant HSBC warned today that the turnaround of its US business may take until the end of 2009, as it unveiled a $17.2 billion (£8.7 billion) hit from bad debt and loan provisions.
The group said write-downs relating to defaults last year soared by 63 per cent from 2006 -- more than City expectations -- as the fallout from the slowing US housing market crisis deepened.
But the company, which is the UK's biggest banking group, still managed to post a 10-per-cent increase in pre-tax profits to 24.2 billion US dollars (£12.2 billion). The figure was in line with market estimates.
The US housing crisis, which has seen record default rates and repossessions as high-risk or sub-prime borrowers struggle to meet loan repayments, saw write offs at HSBC's US consumer banking business jump 80 per cent to 11.7 billion US dollars last year (£5.9 billion).
Group finance director Douglas Flint said the bank was now dependent on the general health of the US economy for a turnaround.
Asked when the situation would peak, he said: "A year ago we would have said by the end of 2008 we should be seeing a turnaround. Maybe it's the end of 2009 now, I don't know."
Mr Flint said the "vast majority" customers were keeping up with their loans in the US, with bad-credit customers largely expunged from its operations.
But he added: "You are now exposed to the general economic conditions in the US.
"If unemployment holds up then I think we should see a turnaround within 18 months or so. If it doesn't maybe it will take longer -- it depends on the general economic health of the US."
HSBC's entire North American operation contributed 91 million US dollars, or 0.4% of the total group pre-tax profits, which were buoyed by "exceptionally strong" performance in emerging markets such as Asia.
The bank's Hong Kong and Asia Pacific arm made 13.3 billion US dollars (£6.7 billion) of pre-tax profits, with Europe adding 8.6 billion US dollars (£4.3 billion).
In the UK -- where the bank has 1,500 branches -- profits from the high street retail business were down 16% to £740 million. HSBC said this was largely due to £115 million of overdraft charge repayments in 2007. Along with high street rivals, the bank is currently the subject of a court action from the Office of Fair Trading about the fairness of its overdraft fees. HSBC warned in its accounts that the total potential repayments as a result of the legal action could be 600 million US dollars (£303m).
But profits from the bank's UK commercial banking sector topped the two billion US dollars (£1 billion) for the first time.
HSBC's US consumer business -- comprising mortgages, credit cards and personal loans -- worsened during the second half of the year with a write down of 7.9 billion US dollars (£4 billion) coming after the 3.8 billion US dollar (£1.9 billion) hit announced for the first six months.
The scale of the losses is expected to increase pressure on the bank's management from activist shareholders to overhaul its policy with regard to its troubled US arm.
Knight Vinke Asset Management, owner of less than 1% of HSBC, has called on the bank to sever all ties with US consumer lending. The investment group wants directors to focus instead on growing markets in Asia.
HSBC bosses said today they had taken "vigorous action" to try to stem the losses, including the closure of 400 branches, tighter lending criteria and a reduction in the number of products.
Mr Flint also indicated that the bad debt problems were not spreading from its mortgage business to its credit card or personal loan arm. These segments continued to trade within their "historic parameters", he said.
Across the group, HSBC saw 2.1 billion US dollars (£1.1 billion) wiped off the value of asset-backed securities due to a general decline in market values towards the year end. Broker Collins Stewart said it was a "good number" compared to the £2.5 billion write down suffered by Royal Bank of Scotland for 2007, and £1.6 billion for Barclays.
HSBC chairman Stephen Green warned that the US credit outlook may worsen before any sign of improvement.
He said: "The outlook for the rest of 2008 is uncertain. The economic slowdown and the credit outlook in the US may well get worse before they get better.
"With significant parts of the international financial system in developed markets still in difficulties, HSBC's emphasis on faster growing emerging markets means that we are better positioned than many of our competitors."
The group announced its 2007 dividend would rise 11% -- a move widely seen as a reassuring one for investors amid the credit troubles. Shares in the bank were up nearly 1% today.
HSBC is the last of the UK's "big five" to report on 2007 -- the others being Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Lloyds TSB and Halifax and Bank of Scotland.
Richard Hunter, head of UK Equities at Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers, said: "If ever proof were needed about the benefits of diversification, these numbers from HSBC fall squarely into that category.
"Its performance in the ever-strengthening markets of China, India and Hong Kong proved a more than ample buffer against its US sub-prime woes."
He added: "HSBC has fared better than many of its competitors in shedding just 14% of its share price in the last year.
"However, it continues to be held back by the spectre of potential further write downs with, in particular, its exposure to the US market having unnerved many investors."
