15 Things you didn't see at the Film Independent Spirit Awards
(Yahoo! Movies) - With drinks on the table and milling about encouraged, Saturday's 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica was meant to be a daytime party, and it didn't disappoint.
But that much was obvious on your television sets and online during the telecast. From Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's buzzed-about appearence to Paula Patton flying fabulously solo, we kept track of all the intimate moments behind the scenes that you didn't see.
Here's what went down in between what Josh Welsh, the president of Film Independent, called "pretty people winning shiny things."
1. PDA-Fest for Brad and Angelina: Sure, you saw Hollywood's favorite couple all cuddled up every time "12 Years a Slave" won an award (which was five times so, yeah, you saw them quite a bit), but that wasn't just for show. After the movie won Best Feature, Angelina met up with her man backstage. When they were reunited, he told her he was going to join the rest of the winning posse in the press room. They shared a sweet kiss and then she shooed him off proudly and waited patiently. Aww…
2. Patton Stands Tall: No, we're not talking about the diminutive host of the afternoon's festivities, Patton Oswalt. Paula Patton, who announced her separation from husband Robin Thicke earlier in the week, impressed the masses with her appearance at the event. Not only did she look stunning in a short, yellow lace number, but she was smiling and appeared to be having a ball (although, sitting directly behind big winner Matthew McConaughey, how could she not?). While she only posed for photographers and skipped doing the rest of the press line, we overheard multiple people calling her brave. Go girl!
3. We'd Like to Thank Jared Leto: The "Dallas Buyers Club" actor took home the gong for Best Supporting Male, but really should've received a second one for best acceptance speech in all of awards season (and maybe ever). While some would argue he really did thank every man, woman, and tree that ever lived, given the sheer volume of names he mentioned in his hilarious and poignant monologue, there was one name we were surprised not to hear: Claire Danes. So much for that so-called history, eh?
4. The Rain and the Renner: Timing really is everything. The Spirit Awards take place in a tent, with the majority of the "backstage" area and what one might call a lobby all located outside. When the forecast called for torrential rain, organizers and attendees alike were clearly nervous. But, as the stars arrived and mimosas were passed, the sun was bright and shining. In fact, there was only about a 10-minute period of rough winds and rains that hit near the end of the ceremony. That worked out great for everyone… except "American Hustle" star Jeremy Renner. He had intended to slip out from backstage at that very moment but, alas, had to wait as his car had not yet arrived and the rain was beating down.
5. Proud Mama: Birthday girl Lupita Nyong'o received the award for Best Supporting Female and made a good point to thank her mother, who looked gorgeous in bright green as she sat by her daughter's side all afternoon. Dorothy Nyong'o's eyes got a bit misty as she watched Lupita on stage, and when her 31-year-old returned to the table, she gave her winner a big hug and kiss, pride seeming to ooze from her pores.
6. Rekindle? Our hearts went all aflutter when we watched exes (and "X-Men" co-stars) Michael Fassbender and Zoe Kravitz step outside mid-show together. Better yet, we loved seeing them sharing a smoke and laughing at each other's jokes. Could a re-coupling be in the works?
7. The Standing Ovation Awards: It's always interesting to note who pops out of their seat first when at least some portion of a crowd gets to their feet to celebrate a win. Reese Witherspoon was the first to cheer when Matthew McConaughey won for Best Male Lead for his performance in "Dallas Buyers Club," while Brad Pitt jumped up to honor the memorial to Philip Seymour Hoffman, Roger Ebert, and James Gandolfini. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Paula Patton tied when celebrating "Fruitvale Station's" win for Best First Feature; after director Ryan Coogler's moving speech, many more were on their feet, including everyone at the "12 Years a Slave" tables, except Paul Dano. Not sure what that's about.
8. Couture Meets Comfort: "Divergent" star Shailene Woodley is known for her laid-back style, but we were still surprised to see her accessorize her two-piece Lyn Devon number with… a grey hooded sweatshirt? The actress stepped out of her car still wearing the fleece topper and even began posing with fans before realizing she was still wearing it and took it off. The hoodie was still off as Woodley made her way towards her seat in the tent and chatted up her "Descendants" director Alexander Payne. But the cozy piece was right back on – zipped, her hands in the front pockets, and all – by the time the awards show came to a close.
9. Special Moments in Footwear: The fine folks at home didn't get to see much of Patton Oswalt's clown-like shoes, but that wasn't the most interesting footwear of the evening. For starters, "Short Term 12" star Brie Larson was giving hugs and running around both the tent and outside – barefoot! – after her film won Best Editing. Best Supporting Female nominee Yolanda Ross, who was a vision in a hot orange dress, tried on a brightly-colored pair of New Balance Fresh Foam 980 sneakers at the gifting suite backstage about two hours before the show began… and never took them off. Thankfully, her publicist got a matching pair as well, so she was carrying around both of their high heels all afternoon.
10. Hamm and Beer: You probably already know this, but Jon Hamm is just cool. Right before the show was about to begin, he and his "Mad Men" co-star, Elisabeth Moss, posed for a few photos, but were sure to take a look at the pics and make sure all was well. Later, we spotted him making his way backstage – never in a hurry – with his goblet of Stella Artois still in hand. Why let a good beer go to waste?
11. Keanu, Keanu, Keanu! Brad and Angelina who? We have no real explanation for this one, but the energy in the room shifted when presenter Keanu Reeves walked in. One man grabbed him from across a table and pulled him in for quite the bear hug, Jared Leto gave him a nod early in his speech, and people were literally lined up to greet him when the show ended.
12. Clay Comes Out Even: On one hand, Andrew Dice Clay should be ecstatic that he was even at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, not to mention that he received a shout-out from Cate Blanchett when she accepted her award for Best Female Lead. On the other, ouch! We watched as the "Blue Jasmine" actor roamed around for a good five minutes unable to find his seat until organizers were able to help him out… and, even then, it took a few of 'em.
13. The Independent Spirit Lives On: Look, this awards show celebrates the filmmakers who made their movie on a dime, so we shouldn't have been surprised when we watched people wrap hunks of cheese in napkins and stuff them in their pockets or women packing two bottles of the tableside Patron tequila in their purses, right?
14. Celeb Goodies: Angela Bassett, Krysten Ritter, Rosario Dawson, Jeremy Renner, John Waters, Cate Blanchett, Jane Lynch, Zoe Kravitz, Miles Teller, Will Forte, Fred Armisen, Sally Hawkins, Michael Sheen, Julie Delpy, Stana Katic, Elisabeth Rohm, Michael Fasssbender and more all stopped by The Official Presenter Gift Lounge at The 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards.
Stars took home a one year supply of Breyers Gelato Indulgences plus a subscription for streaming your favorite flicks and TV shows and two spoons to add to make the perfect date night. Celebs also picked up a one year supply of Dark Horse Wine - the Official Wine of the Spirit Awards, a pair of New Balance Fresh Foam 980 running shoes and a DJI Phantom 2 Vision flying camera! You read right: a FLYING CAMERA!
Check out photos from the gift lounge below!
15. Röhm-ing for Wine: And then this happened to "American Hustle" actress Elisabeth Röhm…
Holy hotness! @ElisabethRohm looks SMOKIN' backstage at #IndieSpirits! Just won a year supply of @darkhorsewine pic.twitter.com/paM3t6gMyV

$9M richer, informant unmasks himself at NY trialKaren Greenberg in The Associated Press, November 06, 2011
Media Source
NEW YORK (AP) - The most bankable star witness at the trial of an ex-Soviet officer known as the Merchant of Death was a former drug dealer turned U.S. government-sponsored actor who became one of the highest paid informants in history.
Carlos Sagastume, 40, earned more than $9 million over 15 years by convincing drug dealers and a weapons merchant that he was as bad — if not worse — than they.
Collecting evidence against Viktor Bout was another major achievement in a remarkable career for Sagastume. He posed as a member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, also known as the FARC, to coax Bout to travel from Russia to Thailand in March 2008 to arrange to send deadly weapons to Colombian rebels to fight Americans.
The monthlong trial in federal court in Manhattan ended Wednesday with Bout's conviction on conspiracy charges. The arms dealer, an inspiration for the character played by Nicolas Cage in the 2005 film "Lord of War," faces a potential life sentence.
Sagastume made most of his millions through the State Department's Narcotics Rewards Program, collecting $7.5 million from two rewards for work he did for the Drug Enforcement Administration. Another $1.6 million was earned through work on 150 investigations, though some of the money covered expenses.
He was paid $250,000 for the Bout probe. In all, the State Department has paid more than $62 million in rewards since Congress established the program in 1986 to reward individuals who provide information to help arrest and convict drug dealers.
Myrna S. Raeder, a Southwestern Law School professor, said she found it interesting that Sagastume had lived a life of disguise for so long.
"One would think that one's cover would be blown much earlier," she said. "This sounds like fodder for a movie with that kind of background."
Thomas Pasquarello, a former DEA special agent who headed the Bout probe in Thailand, said Sagastume was among the DEA's best informants.
"If you're looking at big fish, you need big bait," he said. "That's what guys like Carlos are good at. They're pros at what they do and they have deep connections."
A good informant risks his life and can fake underground connections to reassure someone like Bout that he's authentic, he said.
"Look at Viktor Bout. He wasn't going to fall for a rookie informant. Guys like that could see through a rookie undercover in five minutes," said Pasquarello, now chief of police in Somerset, Mass.
The Guatemalan-born Sagastume did not seem a likely candidate to be a prosecutor's best friend when he began transporting drugs — after he finished a five-year stint in Guatemala's Army, where he specialized in gathering intelligence on subversive activity and guerrilla activists.
Speaking through an interpreter —even though he could be heard on taped conversations speaking English — he testified at Bout's trial that he was paid $450,000 for helping transport up to 3,000 kilos of cocaine and $3 million in cash for drug organizations.
He said that after he was kidnapped by federal police in Mexico and a $60,000 ransom was paid to free him, he contacted the DEA in Guatemala, looking for a new line of work.
By 1998, he had moved to the United States and was steadily delivering successful results in DEA investigations.
In January 2008, he was summoned to join a sting operation designed to catch Bout, who was known as a supplier of weapons that fueled civil wars in South America, the Middle East and Africa. His clients ranged from Liberia's Charles Taylor and Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to the Taliban government that once ran Afghanistan.
Sagastume was assigned to pose as a FARC member who wanted to buy 100 surface-to-air missiles, 20,000 AK-47 rifles, 350 sniper rifles, 5 tons of C-4 explosives and 10 million rounds of ammunition, among other weapons. He teamed up with Ricardo Jardenero, 52, a Colombian-born informant who posed as "The Commandant," a commanding officer in the FARC, classified by Washington as a narco-terrorist group.
Jardenero was one of the DEA's better paid informants as well, making $500,000 during four years working undercover. He was paid $320,000 for the Bout probe.
Like Sagastume, Jardenero also was a former drug dealer who could project himself like a rebel commander after a decade in the Colombian Army and time spent shipping weapons for a paramilitary group that opposed the FARC.
Karen Greenberg, a history professor at Fordham Law School, said large payouts make sense in pursuit of targets like Osama bin Laden and Bout as the government rewards informants who lived in a criminal world themselves long enough to mimic the language and attitudes of those they must catch.
"You still have to be careful with how much government money you're throwing around," she said. "Once that kind of money is out there for the pool of people who can help, it will be harder and harder to discern who you can trust. Who wouldn't take that kind of money?"

" The galleries break with the traditional institutional image of an art gallery and is a welcoming and vibrant place to be for pleasure, education and business. Four galleries under one roof - The Special Exhibition Gallery, The Metalwork Gallery, The Rusk "
As I live close to Sheffield city centre, and since I also have a keen interest in art, I am a regular visit to the Millennium Gallery. The gallery has been open since 2001, and it still looks modern and vibrant today - it definitely brightens up the city centre.
It is located smack bang in the middle of town on Arundel Gate, so it is just a short walk from Hallam University, as well as the Crucible theatre, and the library. If you are visiting Sheffield by train, you will be pleased to know that the gallery is just a 5 minute walk from the station, and it's really easy to find (unfortunately it's all up hill!). Sheffield is also served by excellent bus links, so you can be sure your journey will be a fairly stress-free one.
The gallery itself is fairly small, I'm pretty sure you could have a good look around most of it in around an hour, so I wouldn't advise taking a trip here for the gallery alone. I would recommend checking out the Graves Gallery (which is just next door) to get the most out of your day in Sheffield.
There are a couple of permanent exhibitions in the Millennium Gallery, and I'll give a brief overview about them below.
The Ruskin Collection.
This is the first exhibition you will come to if you are entering the gallery via the Winter Garden. It is situated in a fairly small room, but it is jam packed with display cases, and offers lots to look at. John Ruskin himself was a Victorian writer who was clearly interested in nature, and this is shown in the artwork on display. There are plenty of dainty watercolours to look at, and lots of fine detailed work. I'm sure this won't be to everyone's taste, but I actually really enjoyed viewing some of the smaller pieces in this room (especially the little watercolours of Italy).
Metalwork Collection.
This is one of the larger rooms in the gallery, and it's dedicated to Sheffield's steel and metalworking heritage. There is certainly lots to look at, and some of it is quite unusual. There is a big collection of Swiss army knives, and some of them are massive, and quite unlike anything I have ever seen before! There is of course, some of the more 'everyday' items such as cutlery, and pans, but the workmanship that has gone into them is really extraordinary. There are also a couple of videos and interactive displays in this gallery, which might be fun for children.
In addition to the permanent displays, the Millennium Gallery also hosts a good range of temporary exhibitions, which are usually very varied. In the past they have had exhibitions ranging from local street/graffiti artist Kid Acne, to the family in British art - so there is definitely something for everyone!
The current exhibitions are entitled 'Under the Sea' and 'Little Gems'. Under the Sea focuses on various ocean life forms, and art work that uses sea life as it's inspiration. As you can imagine it is quite a colourful and dreamy exhibition, and I think this is one that children may like. Little Gems is a project based on silver-smithing, which is nice to view some of the modern metalwork happening in the city.
There are also two cafe venues available on the ground floor of the gallery. There is the coffee cart, which is primarily for quick takeaway snacks, such as cake, biscuits, and hot drinks. The hot drinks are just £1.00 each from the cart, and I would personally recommend the Belgian hot chocolate - very yummy!
The sit-down cafe offers a lot more variety, and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I don't find the cafe to be overly cheap, a cooked breakfast costs around £6.75, and fish and chips will set you back £10.65, but the general quality is high. They also offer a variety of sandwiches, cakes and pastries - so I think there would be something for everyone.
The toilets are located on the ground floor very close to the coffee cart, and are usually clean and in good order. They are free, but there is a tub if you wanted to make a donation to the gallery.
There is also disabled access throughout the gallery - although the lift is incredibly slow considering the short distance is has to travel.
The gallery has it's own gift shop, which stocks a huge variety of cards, jewellery, children's toys, and local memorabilia. As with most shops of this kind, the prices tend to be on the pricey side, but there are a lot of unique things available if you fancied treating yourself to a memento.
All in all, the gallery is definitely worth a visit if you are in Sheffield for the day.
The Millennium Gallery is open every day.
Opening times: Monday - Saturday 10am - 5pm
Sunday 11am - 4pm
The gallery is free, so please check it out if you can!
The Millennium Galleries have been created as part of the Millennium regeneration project and can be found in the centre of the city opposite the Sheffield Hallam University. I decided to pay it a visit on a recent trip to Sheffield after reading missbrowneyedgirl's opinion. It consists of four separate galleries containing a mixture of permanent exhibits and special exhibitions. Entry to the majority of the galleries is free and a visit is highly recommended for both adults and families. TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS GALLERY Current Exhibition The first gallery houses a temporary exhibition, which changes every few months. Until 19 May 2002 the current exhibition is 'Moving Pictures', an exhibition exploring the moving image of television and cinema. There are famous props and costumes from your favourite films and television shows, including Harry Potter's school uniform, Russell Crowe's 'Gladiator' outfit (shame no hunky man filling it though), Marilyn Monroe's dress from 'Some Like it Hot' and the battle attire of a Stormtrooper from 'Star Wars' You will also encounter K9, canine companion of the Tom Baker Doctor Who. No sign of his stripy scarf though! Beware the daleks, one of whom is also lurking in the galleries. Rather amusingly this enemy of Doctor Who is to be found at the bottom of an escalator and, as we all know, the daleks could never have conquered Earth, as they can't climb stairs! This is not just a museum-like trawl through items, however, as there are also exciting 'hands-on' activities to amuse children and adults alike. You will have the opportunity to create your own cartoon and take part in a gameshow. Admission Prices Adults £4 Concessions £3 Children £2 Under 5s free Family ticket £9 Forthcoming Exhibitions 22 May - 16 June 2002: A Time to Celebrate In honour of the
Queen's Golden Jubilee an examination of the history of jubilees and coronations with exhibits from art and history collections and exhibits contributed by the people of Sheffield. (Admission free). 22 June - 15 September 2002: The Power of the Poster On tour from the Victoria and Albert Museum, an exhibition examining the history of the poster from its creation in the 1870s to the present. Posters on display from the worlds of politics, art and commerce. (Admission prices as above). THE METALWORK GALLERY As Sheffield is most famous for its steel you will not be surprised to find a gallery devoted to its history of manufacturing metal. There are examples of cutlery, silverware and tools and information on manufacturing processes from the 14th century to the present. This may sound as though it might be rather tedious for the younger visitor, however this is not the case. There are headsets around the exhibition, which can be picked up and you can select what you want to listen to. The tapes consist of interviews with people from the Sheffield area who lived and worked within the metalwork community talking about their experiences in the trade. There are also touch-screen computers with further information and footage of the manufacture of penknives, cutlery, sheet metal etc. There is a selection of silver/pewter/stainless steel items, which you must handle and try to identify which is which. You have the opportunity to create your own hallmark on a silver piece of card, which you can take home with you. There is also a magnetic board containing pieces of silver teapots, from which you have to create your own version. In this gallery some of my favourite exhibits included a child's training set of cutlery, which had little dimples on the handles where the child should put their fingers when eating. There was a knife designed especially for eating peas with a groove down the middle on which t
o balance those tricky round vegetables. For the more discerning cutlery user there was a knife to be used especially for eating caviar (as you do) with a mother of pearl blade, as metal would spoil the taste of the delicacy. Admission free. CRAFT AND DESIGN GALLERY Current Exhibition This gallery houses temporary exhibitions of both old and contemporary craft and design (would you have guessed if I hadn't told you?). The present exhibition, on until 12 May 2002, is The Chosen Letter consisting of works of art where each artist has chosen a different way to represent a letter of the alphabet. This lead to quite a varied exhibition with paintings, sculptures and living items! Some of my favourites included a Ralph Steadman painting of the letter X, with his characteristic messy ink splots. The letter why was created from ivy growing around twigs in the shape of the letter. There was also a first edition book of Edward Lear's illustrated alphabet containing my favourite rhyme for the letter R: 'R was a Rabbit. He hopped - O, so funny! He had such long ears, And his name - it was Bunny.' Admission free. Forthcoming Exhibitions 27 May - 27 June 2002: Metalwork and Jewellery from Sheffield Hallam University A display of work by graduates from the Metalwork and Jewellery department at the University from 1992 - 2002. If you visit the gallery during this month it seems that you may get metalwork overload! THE RUSKIN GALLERY This gallery houses a permanent collection of paintings, drawings, rocks and minerals accumulated by the renowned artist and writer John Ruskin in 1875. It is displayed in such a way that it examines how the artist takes inspiration from nature and how patterns found in a bird's feather, a wasp's nest or a rock can be used within a painting. Once more the curators have tried to add int
erest for the younger visitor by having an area where you have to try to examine and recreate various knots, including making a replica model of the boss of a cathedral. There are some portable seats and paper and pencils provided in the corner of the gallery and you are encouraged to try your hand at drawing. There is also another touch-screen computer cataloguing over 40,000 items from contemporary local artists. Admission free. OTHER ATTRACTIONS A shop! This contains rather expensive merchandise ranging from the work of local artists to pencils (a pack of 6 for £8!). There is also an area dedicated especially to art, containing numerous books, posters and postcards. Don't let your kids run rampant, as if breakages must be paid for you might need to take out a loan! Also on site is the Café Azure, where there is a range of drinks, snacks and meals. This is reasonably priced and the room is light and airy and in keeping with the atmosphere of a modern gallery. PRACTICAL INFORMATION Opening Times Monday - Saturday: 10am - 5pm Sunday: 11am - 5pm Location On the A621 behind the Winter Gardens. The nearest NCP is at Arundel Gate and if you enquire at the reception to the gallery you will be given a voucher entitling you to stay at the car park for up to three hours for only £3. Further Information www.sheffieldgalleries.org.uk
Oddly enough, Sheffield's Millennium Galleries were a Millennium project. Situated on Arundel Gate in the city centre they form a part of the 'Heart of the City' regeneration project. This project has also seen the demolition of the Eggbox (Sheffield's 60s town hall - see http://www.bbc.co.uk/southyorkshire/talk/eggbox.shtml), and has led a friend of mine to say that he doesn't feel like he's in Sheffield when he's in that part of the city. He has lived in Sheffield for all of his life! But I can see what he means as that half of Arundel Gate has a very new and cosmopolitan feel to it. Anyway, to cut a long story as short as I can (which isn't very short as you probably know!), after being seduced by a poster depicting a Star Wars Stormtrooper, my friends and I decided to pay the Galleries a visit last Saturday. The Galleries don't have exclusive parking facilities as such, but being in the town centre there are plenty nearby. Probably the most convenient and available is the NCP car park on the opposite side of Arundel Gate but beware, it is fairly expensive. The Galleries themselves reside in a very impressive looking glass building along a white pathway, scattered with trees and reminiscent of being in faraway lands. After being in awe for a while, and taking a few snaps with my L'espion, we ventured towards the circular sliding entrance. As I mentioned, the main reason we were there was for the current feature exhibition: the British Film Institute presents moving pictures. This travelling exhibition is running at the Millennium Galleries until May 19th - more information can be found at http://www.bfi.org.uk/movingpictures. The posters, which had tempted us, also depicted Zippy & George from rainbow and one of Dr Who's Daleks, and lo and behold this self-same Dalek silently greeted us immediately in the entrance of the building. I'd have like to get a little closer to him but th
e imposing presence of the nearby security guard kept my fingers in my pockets...;) The whole building is very light, airy and quiet for a Saturday afternoon! The actual Galleries are all up the escalator opposite the entrance so up we went. Arriving on the next floor we found a selection of glass cabinets containing Harry Potter's school uniform, the original Stormtrooper costume and a dress from a film (so uninteresting I can't recall which). Next you pay and enter the Special Exhibition Gallery, which is divided into small areas. Firstly the entrance area has original film posters including Jaws, The Full Monty, The Sound of Music, Billy Elliot and Vertigo to name but a few. These images are all quite familiar and not of any real interest to me although I was captivated for a while by the large screen showcasing snippets of films. This sparked of a bit of a competition between my friends of who could guess the film title first for each snippet, and the resulting amusement was worth the entrance fee alone! The next section is time based whereby the display cabinet contents take you from early cinematography machines and peep show boxes right up to Russell crow's gladiator outfit. Text on the cabinets describes each period in film, with screens showing more snippets of the time on the front of each cabinet. One in particular has Marilyn Monroe's dress from Some Like It Hot which can be seen on the lady herself in you watch the snippets for long enough! The next section is dedicated to the small screen and has three sofas, each with their own old TV set and glass display table from their time. The televisions themselves are showing program snippets and the tables hold some very interesting items. The best in my eyes was Zippy, although George was sadly absent, who struck me as very short and upset me when I noticed that his arm isn't even attached to the puppet body! They also have an early video recorder, whic
h is larger than most television sets, and Brian's Mr Bear from Big Brother! Next comes the animation section and for me the most interesting piece in the exhibition - the original hand drawn storyboards from The Empire Strikes Back. The quality of the drawings are unbelievable and little touches like R2D2 being referred to as 'Artoo' make it really special. There are many other storyboards; the one from The Red Shoes is particularly outstanding, and also lots of cells from Disney classics and other animated films. The exhibition is also interactive with the inclusion of a kids area where they can dress up as their favourite film characters or make their own animation, some of which are displayed in cases on the wall. There is also a man running a kind of TV game show in the back corner that you can choose to watch or participate in. The Millennium Galleries has family activity days occurring within this exhibition including Science Day and Sound Effects Workshops (contact them on 0114 275 2655 for more information or visit the website at http://www.sheffieldgalleries.org.uk or you can email firstname.lastname@example.com). Finally there is the inevitable shop which sells a variety of film and TV memorabilia including books, postcards and toys. Some of these are quite unusual such as toys of the Spoon family from Button Moon and numbered collector's pictures. I think they could have done more with this exhibition but I suppose it is difficult as it is touring. Do fill in one of the Customer Comment cards before you leave and hand it in, as this enters you into a draw to win a UCG Unlimited Cinema Pass for a year. Within the building the other galleries free so we popped into the Metalwork Gallery which I personally found more interesting then the Moving Pictures exhibition! It had crowns, cutlery, hallmarks, a history of Sheffield's steel and all sorts of interesting examples of metalwork. There is also the Rus
kin Gallery and the Craft & Design Gallery displaying John Ruskin's art collection and The Chosen Letter - an exhibition of lettering - respectively. There is also a shop upstairs, outside of the paying gallery, although I didn't really look to see what they sold. They do however have a giant interactive cutlery monster that does various things when you press the buttons on his stomach. I could imagine children finding him little frightening, as he is at least 10 feet tall and an incredible construction achievement! Back downstairs the Galleries have the Café Azur, which is an expensive but fully licensed café bar. The view from here is lovely as it is right at the front of the building with it's floor to ceiling windows. Apparently they also cater for functions too! Overall I really enjoyed my visit to the Millennium Galleries and I will be returning to have a look at The Power of the Poster (22 June - 15 September 2002) from the Victoria and Albert Museum and 2D>3D: Contemporary Design For Performance (October/December 2002).

While Nova Star Cruises had originally said it was aiming to have its reservation system up and running by the end of January – a deadline that wasn't met – a spokesperson for the company says the system will be launched in the next few weeks.
And the company continues to say it is on schedule for a May 1 start-up of ferry service between Yarmouth and Portland, Maine.
"In the next few weeks we will have the necessary regulatory approvals to advertise fares and launch the reservation system on NovaStarCruises.com," says Sean Lewis, a public relations spokesperson who deals with media inquires concerning the ferry service.
Anyone visiting the Nova Star Cruises website over the past few weeks has been met with only one page of text, underneath a photo of the ferry with the words: Full steam ahead.
A message to the public reads: 'Due to an unexpected delay, we are unable to publish a schedule of our fares at this time. We are working diligently to resolve the matter and will have the fares posted on our website as soon as possible. In addition, we expect to have our online reservation system up and running by the end of February. We apologize for the delay.'
It's been reported in the media that the company has had to satisfy concerns of American authorities regarding ticket refunds. The company, it's been reported, has had to prove it has enough money on hand to refund passengers in the event of ticket cancellations.
Although the company awaits the launch of the reservation system and the reposting of fares online – fares for the service were announced in December but don't appear on the website – Lewis says marketing and promotion of the cruise ferry service is underway.
"Ads have been placed in many important tourism publications, including Nova Scotia's Doers and Dreamers, Maine's Maine Invites You and a number of regional visitors' guides," he says. "In addition, we have already generated hundreds of fans and followers on social media and have made contact with top travel writers and bloggers in Canada and the United States."
As of this past week Nova Star Cruises has 440 followers on Twitter and says it has around 2,000 likes on its Facebook page. But the Facebook page hasn't been available for the past few weeks.
Lewis again explains it is because of the regulatory issues they have to work through.
"In the short term, the United States Federal Maritime Commission requested that Nova Star Cruises temporarily remove some information from the website and place the Facebook page in an unpublished state while we finalize the regulatory approvals process," he says. "We expect to receive approvals during the next few weeks, and at that time we will re-publish the Facebook page and re-post information to the www.NovaStarCruises.com, including fares, and launch the reservation system."
Lewis says over the next few months the company will continue to inform, and engage with, travellers as it prepares to welcome the first passengers on the Nova Star.
The Nova Scotia government is investing up to $21 million over seven years to see ferry service re-established between Yarmouth and Portland.
Nova Star Cruises indicated last fall that it is setting a target of transporting 100,000 passengers in the first year of service. The ferry can accommodate 1,200 passengers per crossing.

Don't know about how they do it in LA, but the cable companies I've worked with don't run CAT anything from the pole to the house. They run Coaxial directly to the cable modem and from there CAT cable is connected to customer equipmentwhen you get like cable internet and the cable guy were to run it not to the box but to the poll you get faster connection and they don't filter it,
As a rule, I generally do not use cables supplied by vendors. I make my own, but I have yet to see one supplied as a CAT5 cable be CAT3.if you have time Warner Cable your default wire that come with your cable Modem for turbo is cat 3
You obviously didn't undertsand. There is no electrical reason why voice, an analog signal, cannot be run over CAT6. The speed's you're talking about is the maximum transmission rate, analog signals are not affected by such things and could be transmitted just fine over them.if you have att dsl your dsl Modem comes with a cat 5. by default.
and we're talking about fiber optic
cat 6 is running on 500 MHz Data Only
Cat 5 is running on 400 MHz voice and data
Ping rates are rather meaningless.i can tell you that i do see a difference cause i have it and and i did wanted to make my connection a lot faster and this was like a couple of years ago, and it still dose the job for me, i do a lot of torrent and mutimedia, i use to do a lot of gaming and my ping was less then 100 most of the time it was close to 15
You obviously didn't even really to bother and read this thread from the beginning as had you, you'd have know that this has nothing to do with connection speeds from an ISP. The OP was talking about testing a connection directly between localized equipment. If you're using auto-negotiated equipment, it doesn't matter what kind of cable you're using, you will NEVER get the maximum transfer rate out of it. For that, you'd need to get managed equipment and properly set speed and duplex.your cat 6 is basically going to connect to your router, or your computer what however you configure it
you need proof and explanation

Press Release
Washington, DC, June 8, 1998 -- Karen Staser, founder and president of the National Museum of Womens History (NWHM), appeared at the Congressional hearing of the Dollar Coin Advisory Committee on June 8, 1998. Ms. Staser testified in support of a new dollar coin featuring Susan B. Anthony and Harriet Tubman.
At the hearing Ms. Staser, an expert on womens history, said, "Susan B. Anthony and Harriet Tubman are examples of powerful women who dedicated their lives to ensuring freedom and rights for all of our citizens. Our nation is more inclusive and made stronger by these womens contributions." Ms. Staser added, "With both images of equal size, either side by side or face to face in profile, the new coin will reflect our nations diversity and move us towards a full recognition of womens profound contribution to our country - past, present, and future."
Susan B. Anthonys lifelong fight for the womens vote is well known. Harriet Tubman, an African American and former slave, led more than 300 slaves to freedom via the underground railroad. At great personal risk, she dedicated her life to fighting for abolition and womens rights.
According to Ms. Staser, "NWHM supports the continuation of Anthonys image on the dollar coin. We feel strongly that it would enrich our cultural heritage by also including Tubman, an African American female leader. In addition, this would reinforce the goals of President Clintons Initiative on Race."
The National Museum of Womens History celebrates and chronicles womens contributions to civilization, from ancient times to present day. With traditional historic texts and public spaces addressing only a fraction of womens accomplishments, NWHM collects and preserves documents and memorabilia for the purpose of sharing the achievements of women through the Museums Web site, traveling exhibits and soon-to-be announced permanent site in Washington, DC.

TORONTO -- Canada's federal health department has issued new regulations that will limit the amount of caffeine allowed in energy drinks.
Caffeine will be capped at 180mg. in a single-serving can or bottle, about as much as an 8-fl.oz. cup of coffee. Larger, resealable containers will be limited to 400mg. of caffeine per liter.
Many leading energy drinks will not be impacted by the new restrictions issued by Health Canada, including Red Bull, which has 80mg. of caffeine in an 8.4-fl.oz. can. That's less than a cup of coffee but more than twice the content of most colas.
The regulations also require that energy drinks have labels that clearly list the amounts of caffeine, vitamins and other ingredients. The drinks will also be required to carry a warning that they are not recommended for children or pregnant or breast-feeding women and should not be mixed with alcohol.
Additionally, energy drinks like Red Bull, Monster and Rockstar, which were previously categorized as "natural health products," are now being reclassified as "food," thus coming under the new caffeine cap. And for the next five years, energy drink makers must report annual data on sales, consumption and health incidents.
Energy drink manufacturers can only produce drinks that meet the new guidelines from this point forward, but retailers don't have to pull noncompliant drinks already in stock.
Popular energy drinks have been associated with the deaths of three teens -- as well as serious side effects such as irregular heartbeat and amnesia in 35 other Canadians -- since 2003, according to reports filed with Health Canada.
In the U.S., federal health authorities are investigating reports citing energy drinks as possibly linked to dozens of deaths, illnesses and hospitalizations. Democratic Sens. Richard Durbin (Illinois) and Richard Blumenthal (Connecticut) are asking the FDA to consider caffeine limits on energy drinks.

According to TMZ, Gabriel is not going to be charged with any crimes and can just focus on healing those wounds and going to boxing class everyday. In the next year, Olivier and Halle will be finished and Olivier can go start his treating a new girlfriend badly while Halle can find someone else to suck into her vortex of strangeness. Also according to TMZ, there is no security footage of the fight, The cameras were in the wrong position. You know, because no one covers their front door. Yes, cameras were focused towards the front to catch intruders, but suppose that intruder got to your front door, you don't want to see who it is before you open it?

This morning, we read Brandon Leonard's In Praise of Moms Who Crush post on Adventure Journal and couldn't help but post a few choice lines in our Friday Round Up.
I don't really know anything about parenting, other than what I see from my friends and family. Besides the fact that it's a big deal, and you know, it completely changes your life. But I have met quite a few women who loved the outdoors before they had their first child and have learned how to raise their children and not lose that connection in the process. Which I think is inspiring…
People ask me, "What's your mom like," and I tell them that she's a ball of energy, running on caffeine and chocolate, kind of like…me sometimes. She's a stubborn lady. I remember her saying one time when we were out for a four mph walk, Oh, I wish I could still run. She never makes excuses, never stopped moving because of this injury or that injury, Oh I have a bad back/bad knees/don't have time. She just makes time.
Read the rest of In Praise of Moms Who Crush…
And since this Sunday is Mother's Day, we decided to troll the internet for a few more inspiring stories of mothers out there. They all seem to incorporate climbing, which is alright with us — and a pretty awesome metaphor as Susan E.B. Schwartz wrote in Climbing Magazine:
As I see it, motherhood is a lot like rock climbing.
Nothing truly prepares you for either: all the expert explanations, advice from well-meaning friends, instructional videos and manuals — nothing does motherhood or climbing justice. I've learned this firsthand after nearly a decade at the first and two decades at the second.
In the end, climbing and motherhood come down to one thing: until you're there yourself, perched precariously, staring wide-eyed and terrified around you, you have absolutely no idea what it's like. Combining two such powerful and all-consuming life experiences has always challenged women.
Read Eight Confessions of a Rock Climbing Mom…
And lastly, we love this profile on prAna athlete Carrie Cooper called 39 Weeks.
I believe that life is about living gracefully through the transitions. I have climbed the world over for the last 10 years and developed a keen sense of my body and its strengths. As a healthy expectant mother I continued to listen to the needs of my body. Staying in tune often means exploring the possibilities: changes in balance, energy needs, and the ability to move with ease. I hope you enjoy this video which means so much to me. It feels like a reflection of the adaptability of the human body and the strength of the human spirit.
Chances are, if you're reading this blog post, you have a mom that crushes it. We hope you have an awesome climbing or backpacking trip planned with her this Sunday. Happy Mother's Day!

text: Don't tell me there is no such thing as immaculate conception because according to US Weekly, the former OC actress who amazingly still has a show on the air is pregnant. Presumably it is with her long time companion/boyfriend/former fiance Hayden Christensen. The pair have been together for what seems like most of their lives but actually only since 2007 which is about 100 years in celebrity time. Rachel is a great aunt and I'm sure she will be a great mom. Plus, at least she has an income to support the child. After the crash and burn of Jumper, Hayden really has not had the parts come to him like he did prior to that. US Weekly uses an interesting quote from an interview Rachel gave last year. Tell me what you think. "I'm a really good girlfriend — I always put all that first in my life. I'm definitely the person who would make him his favorite dinner to come home to." Is she talking about now, or is she talking about some potential boyfriend in the future? It is hard to tell.

I'm a recent college graduate with a good degree, employed full-time, and a mid-740s credit score. I'm interested in buying a house, mostly because of the expense and hassle of renting. Unfortunately I don't think I would be approved right now due to short credit/employment histories, lots of student loans, etc. What would be the best way to get specifics of what I should work on, or what milestones to reach before buying?
A good mortgage banker can help you figure out your options. Generally you want to have 2 open and active trade lines, and if you are making payments on student loans that may be sufficient. With your credit score you should have mortgage options (not a jumbo loan though…) as long as your total monthly debts (all loans and credit card payments, any child support, etc) plus the new mortgage payment will not be more than 50% of your gross (before taxes taken out) income – as long as YOU are comfortable with the payment fitting your budget.
Downpayment requirements generally start at 3-3.5% of the purchase price (except for VA and Rural Dev. loans) and ideally you should have reserves (month left over after paying the downpayment) at least equal to 2x what the monthly mortgage payment will be. Because you were in college prior to starting work, the length of time you've been on the job shouldn't be an issue as long as you have been working a couple months and have regular pay check stubs.
There is lots of information out there on a number of web sites such as www.FHA.gov or one of the mortgage insurance company sites like www.mgichome.com and there is quite a bit of information if you check out my website. I can lend in most any state when you are ready to move forward, or I can help you find the someone from my company closer to you.
Good luck!

Box score
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State men's lacrosse team clinched a spot in the ECAC tournament with a 14-4 win over Air Force Saturday in the fifth annual Showdown in the Shoe in Ohio Stadium in front of 19,213 fans. More than 30,000 fans were in the stands by the end of the lacrosse game, as the Buckeye football team played the LiFE Sports Spring Game following.
"We are very thankful to Gene Smith and Coach Meyer for allowing us to share in this day," Nick Myers, Ohio State lacrosse head coach, said. "It was great to see so many Buckeye fans here to watch us get a big conference win."
The Buckeyes, now 7-6 on the year and 4-1 in ECAC play, shut out the Falcons (6-6, 1-4 ECAC) for the first 42:03, holding a 3-0 lead after the first quarter and an 8-0 advantage at halftime. Ohio State outscored the Falcons in the second half, 6-4, for the final 14-4 final. Junior leading scorer Logan Schuss led Ohio State with four goals and five points, with classmate Dominique Alexander posting four points on two goals and two assists. Sophomore Tyler Frederick had a team-best three assists and added a goal for a four-point game. Freshman Reegan Comeault and senior Brock Sorensen each scored twice and Comeault had an assist for a three-point outing. Sophomore Steve Knezick won 11 faceoffs for the Buckeyes and had a team-best seven groundballs.
"It's amazing to be able to play in front of a crowd like this. It's a special feeling," Sorensen said. "This was our most complete game this year. I feel like we are starting to get on track."
The Buckeyes led 3-0 after the first quarter. Alexander opened the scoring at 13:59. At 6:30, Frederick drove to the cage for a tally and then he set up Schuss for a goal at 2:45. Shots were 9-7 in favor of Air Force in the quarter and each goalie had one save.
The Buckeyes pushed the lead to 8-0 with a five-goal second quarter, maintaining possession the majority of the stanza and outshooting the Falcons, 14-1. Schuss scored at 13:38 and 11:43 (assisted by Alexander), sandwiching a goal by Sorensen that was assisted by Frederick. Frederick found Comeault at 9:45 and Comeault then set up sophomore Adam Trombley at the 5:20 mark. Knezick won five of six faceoffs in the quarter. Air Force goalie Austin Fox had four saves in the stanza, with Buckeye goalie sophomore Greg Dutton making one stop.
The teams combined for just three goals in the third quarter, with Ohio State taking a 10-1 lead through 45 minutes. With Ohio State man-up, Jesse King set up Turner Evans at 13:15 and Evans assisted on a Comeault tally at 9:34. Air Force broke the shutout at 2:57, ending a scoreless streak of 42:03, when Erick Smith connected. Ohio State outshot Air Force, 11-5, in the quarter. Fox had three saves in the stanza and Dutton stopped one shot.
The Falcons' Mike Crampton scored the first goal of the fourth quarter at 13:39. After the next faceoff, Alexander scored from near midfield with the goalie out of position, giving Ohio State an 11-2 lead at 13:27. The Falcons netted the next two goals in a 1:17 span, with Tommy McKee scoring at 9:59 and Crampton tallying at 8:42. The Buckeyes scored the game's last three goals. Schuss assisted on a goal by Sorensen at 7:12 and then tallied off an assist from junior Patrick Toohey just 15 seconds later. The final goal was scored by junior Patrick Riffee, assisted by Alexander, at 5:54. Shots were 13-8 in favor of Air Force in the stanza. Fox had two saves in the Falcons' cage. Dutton had one save, with sophomore Scott Spencer, who finished out the game, also making a save.
For the game, Ohio State outshot Air Force, 40-28. Dutton played 57:44 for the Buckeyes and had four saves, allowing four goals. Spencer stopped the one shot he faced. Fox took the loss for the Falcons, playing 51:18 and allowing 11 goals while making 10 saves. Matt Sanders played the last 8:42 and allowed three goals.
The Buckeyes won 11-of-21 faceoffs on the day, with Knezick 11-8. Ohio State had the edge in groundballs, 34-22, led by Knezick with seven and Dutton with four. Ohio State had nine caused turnovers, with freshman Luke Howard recording three and seniors Keenan Ochwat and Joe Bonanni each causing two. Ochwat and Howard each had three groundballs.

Repertory Dance Theatre opened its 2012-13 season with "Embark," a program of collaborative works that reaches back nearly 50 years to modern-dance icon Merce Cunningham's 1965 "How to Pass, Kick, Fall and Run," fast-forwards to the thematic "Hello World" by Utah's Jacque Lynn Bell, and includes the playful, company-choreographed "8 Seconds of Fame."
Also on the program is a revived and edited "Selected Choreography by Michio Ito" (1893-1961), previously performed by RDT in 2010.
Collaboration or co-authorship by artists investigates innovative ideas. Sometimes working together results in a single performance. Or, in the case of Cunningham and composer John Cage, new works are created many times over a lifetime.
In several of the works mentioned, dance is integrated with different media, and the results are distinctly different.
The premiere work on the program, "Hello World," integrated choreography by Bell, digital imagery by social psychologist Barton Poulson and costume design by Christopher Larson and RDT dancer Toni Lugo. The piece was uncalculated yet precise, and personal yet scientific. The work's synergy may be explained, in part, because Bell and Poulson are married and have a shared interest in the performing arts. But the concept and the methodology were seamlessly integrated. Poulson's digital imagery was mostly of primitive forms and figures, projected by modern technologies. The combination provided thematic connectedness and smooth physical transitions for Bell's simple, effective choreography.
In contrast, Cunningham is known for purposefully unhitching the collaborative elements. He and Cage, his lifelong personal and artistic partner, created a body of work in which the sound score was separate from the movement. It is important for the audience to know that "How to Pass, Kick, Fall and Run" was choreographed in 1965, because its experimentation is much of its intrigue. Two local celebrities, musician Ricklen Nobis and X96 "Radio From Hell" co-host Bill Allred, provided the sound score for RDT's performances, reading short segments written by Cage and operating under the original controls of a stopwatch and chance decisions designed by Cage and Cunningham. The narrators add necessary interest to the 25-minute piece.
But more important than the how and why of "How to Pass, Kick, Fall and Run" was the movement, beautifully articulated by dancer Rosy Goodman. Although much of Cunningham's movement looks pedestrian, Goodman informs us of the meticulous detail and requisite strength by repeatedly extending her leg in développé, while pushing up and through a controlled forced-arch on her standing leg. Dancer Sarah Donahue also performs the slow, controlled movement, then suddenly and amazingly repeats it in double time. Guest dancer Robert Goodman, Rosy's brother, is also a powerful presence in "How to Pass, Kick, Fall and Run."
The company looked strong overall, and the community-based work "8 Seconds of Fame," created from the contributions of Utah Arts Festivalgoers, was playful but fell short of its potential.
The piece was in three sections; the third was the most successful for its actual movement and structural choreographic relationships. The music, which was listed as traditional, had no reference to the contemporary movement contributed by the community. It seems like a great idea, and with a change of music, and more direct harvesting of actual movement, it might still be worth reworking.

The modern-dance company offers an interesting contrast in the meaning and effects of collaboration.

Impressive Collections From World MasterCard Fashion Week In Toronto
We've been gushing and salivating over international Fall 2015 designer collections since mid February and now it's time to focus on our domestic talent. World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto had Canadian designers showing off their stunning ensembles. As years go on, Canadians designers are making their mark and demonstrating that they can make it on the international scene.
Take for instance, Mikhael Kale's dreamy, pastel-infused collection or Malorie Urbanovitch's mixture of fabric and colour. There's no question that these looks can rank with the best in the world. Pink Tartan debuted a sleek collection with urban undertones, a little leather and plenty to love.
Here are some of our favourite outfits from Toronto Fashion Week!
Red Carpet Movie Premieres
Red carpets don't end with the Oscars. There are plenty of high profile movies coming out, year round, that include fashion-filled premieres. Lately, I've been obsessed with Cinderella's Lily James' red carpet looks from various cities. Each one more magical than the next. She was perfectly cast as the beloved underdog and she sure cleans up nice when it's time for a ball.
Cate Blanchett appeared at the original Cinderella premiere wearing this knockout Givenchy gown. This woman is a knockout no matter what red carpet she appears on.
Similarly, Insurgent's Shailene Woodley. For the premiere, only days ago, she opted for a sexy black dress with plunging neckline. The dress was wowza…the movie, not so much.
Rounding out my favourite looks of late is the ever-fabulous Gwen Stefani, wearing a gorgeous polka dot number. That blonde hair and red lip will never go out of fashion.
The Spring 2015 Trends That You Can Get Your Hands On Now
Spring is in the air. Yes, the snow is melting and the birds are chirping, which means it's an exciting time for our wardrobe…among other things. We'll be thrilled to hide our winter coats at the back of the closet to make room for spring's biggest fashion trends. There's no need to wait for spring's official arrival to get your hands on them. The Peacock Parade has handpicked some of the top runway trends and made them available right now.
Fashion Weeks Wrap Up
From New York to London to Paris and finally, Milan, designers are debuting their fall/winter 2015 collections. There is just so much to look forward to. With so many looks to drool over, it's hard to pick the best collections so far..but we'll try.
Dolce & Gabbana paid homage to mothers everywhere. The brightly hued, floral-filled collection saw Italian and French phrases of "I love you, Mamma" and "For the most beautiful in the world" written in glitter across stunning dresses. They may not have paid taxes but Dolce & Gabbana sure adore their mothers.
Balenciaga went texture overload with furs and wools in classic patterns. Long skirts and Hitchcock vibes made this collection a real stand out with fashion lovers and critics.
Here are some of our favourite looks from this past week:

'"It doesn't bother me," Bettman told the Spec. "I've been booed in lots of places. When people boo or give you any response, it's a direct sign of passion."'
Archives for September 2010
Bettman draws some boos
Ryan Miller should keep Sabres cut above rest of Northeast Division
'It will be Miller time again as the Sabres ride their superstar to a playoff berth.'
Pominville's goal lifts Sabres over Senators
'Rob Niedermayer opened the scoring for Buffalo midway through the first period with a short-handed goal. Swedish goalie Robin Lehner, who is 19, misplayed the puck behind the net and it landed on Niedermayer's stick for an easy goal.'
Sabres defeat Senators 2-1 in Hockeyville
'J.L. Grightmire Arena's rink is smaller than NHL regulation, 10 feet shorter and five feet narrower, making it difficult to rush up the ice or manoeuvre in front of the net. Line changes were also dicey as the players sat two-deep on the benches.'
Buffalo 2, Ottawa 1
'Rob Niedermayer scored a short-handed goal and Jason Pominville netted the game-winner in the third period, as Buffalo Sabres downed the Ottawa Senators, 2-1, in a preseason action at the Kraft Hockeyville game.'
Sabres Hang On For 2-1 Win Over Sens
'Rob Niedermayer and Jason Pominville provided the scoring in the win.'
Second time around for many Sabres, Senators
'"It's fun to be out there. I was fortunate to play in Roberval too," said Sabres right wing Jason Pominville. "I see myself as a kid, to be able to see two NHL teams come to my city and play a game would be pretty cool and pretty neat. It's always fun to give back and I think this is a great way of doing it. It will be an interesting game as well."'
Sabres' Lalime Wins Praise as a Backup
"He's been my biggest supporter," Miller said. "I just think he's a really great person. I don't think people realize how special he is and how nice he is. He's outstanding."
Rain and the NHL rule Dundas
'A few players rushed through the rain, heading for the warm and dry dressing room, ignoring the kids with the sopping wet papers and pens. Not Tyler Myers. The six-foot-eight-eight, 222-pound Sabres defenceman signed everything put in front of him, long after other players signing autographs had headed inside. "He's a class act," said one dad, watching Myers sign a kid's puck. "He remembers what hockey means to kids. He does."'
Sabres News & Notes: Regier Not Dealing With Kassian … Yet
"He's been a big difference, both on and off the ice," Regier said. "I think it's not unlike other young players. It's a maturation process. It's your ability to stay focused. It's your ability to keep your feet on the ground, know even more than an even-keel attitude, and really just to do the work.
Sabres may lean on Lalime
'"I'm very excited. I really enjoy the city," Lalime said Monday before making 18 saves on 21 shots in the Sabres' 5-4 exhibition loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in Air Canada Centre. "I love the fans, the city, love the team. I think we can accomplish a lot here so it's nice to be back."'
Kassian talks set to start
'"That's not correct," Regier said during the second intermission of the Sabres' preseason game against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Air Canada Centre. "We've talked about entering into talks with him. The conversations I've had were that we would at some point resume negotations but we haven't yet."'

'Nathan Gerbe scored twice, and Drew Stafford and Jordan Leopold also had goals for the Sabres (1-1-0).'
Kulemin, Kessel scores twice in Leafs win
'Buffalo has taken a different approach to its pre-season routine and was playing just its second game. As a result, coach Lindy Ruff only used about two-thirds of the lineup he'll start the season with.'

It's great to have someone like him visible at meetings and vocal about local political direction. But, someone actually has to lead the city, work together with their adversaries and get things done. I don't see it in him.
Please don't take this as a Sessoms endorsement. Maybe my stance would be different if I stood to gain from some of his cronyism ;)

A note from our CFO
This year, UMB has celebrated many achievements in reaching our 100-year milestone. One thing we are particularly proud of is our ongoing effort to be transparent in our communication.
You may have read the news articles about two specific things: depositor exiting UMB‡ and our capital raise project‡. First and foremost, I want to clearly state that these two topics are completely unrelated. Anyone who has ever been through a common stock offering knows it's not something you can pull off in a couple of days. The timing of the two events was unfortunate, because it created incorrect assumptions. We did not execute a capital raise because of the depositor.
To comply with securities rules related to our stock offering, we were limited in what we could say about the depositor. However, now that we are on the other side, I would like to take the opportunity to provide more context.
- Depositor
A few notes on the depositor. The organization is still a UMB customer. We previously disclosed that the deposits would move over the next 120 days, and as of today, the deposits remain on our balance sheet. Additionally, the customer will continue to work with UMB on their asset servicing business even after the deposits have exited.The decision to move the deposits off of our balance sheet was a result of ongoing dialogue we have had with the customer for the past couple of years. UMB has had a longstanding risk management strategy, and during a review of potential deposit concentrations, we approached the customer to reduce their deposits. They did so, but because of continued growth in the customer's business, the deposits began increasing again. UMB will continue to monitor our deposit concentrations and will continue to make decisions that are best for our company and our shareholders. We have multiple unique sources of deposits: Institutional Banking and Investment Services (IBIS), Fund Services and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) just to name a few, so it is important that we are continuously monitoring and adjusting as appropriate.
- Capital Raise
Our company has been growing steadily over the past few years and that is evident in our financial results. We have experienced robust balance sheet growth, especially in loans. After we completed our recent forecasts, it was clear that the expectations for growth would continue. We needed to grow our capital to support our balance sheet growth. We plan to use the money raised to support our continued growth and for general corporate purposes.When I tell my kids what I've been up to the last couple of months, I essentially tell them that I went to New York and asked strangers and current shareholders to invest in our company. And based on our consistent and stable growth for more than 100 years, they gave us more than $200 million.A simple analogy—but it essentially describes our capital raise campaign. Also important to note, the majority of the investors are new to UMB which validates our current investors, and is a testament to the work our associates have been doing over the last century.
I hope this gives you some color to our recent news. It's a fantastic time for UMB and I look forward to what the next 100 years will bring!
