The Easy, Super-'90s Way I Keep Grown-Out Bangs out of My Face
Bangs, fringe, breakage — whatever you call it, it'll fit in some butterfly clips.
When I was applying to colleges, I knew I wanted to major in one of three things: creative writing, deaf education, or vocal music education. Well, I actually wanted to go into musical theater, but my parents thought that wasn't a stable option, so vocal music education was the compromise. Not that it mattered--I ended up majoring in creative writing, which, for some reason, my parents thought was more stable than musical theater.
The only thing I enjoy more than writing is singing, but while I get to write all day every day, I don't get to perform, like, ever. I go to karaoke every now and then, but that's really it--totally unsatisfying. I have a constant itch to get out there and sing on a stage of some sort, but because the only instrument I play is the cello (and not very well), I can't exactly accompany myself at an open mic.
A couple of my coworkers had heard me do karaoke, so when another coworker (also named Marci) announced that she was throwing a fundraiser for pancreatic cancer research, I was recruited to be part of the colleague-based band that would play the event.
And it was kind of sort of the happiest and most terrifying moment of my semi-young life.
The only singing I've done with a band has been tipsy one-offs at Punk Rock Heavy Metal Karaoke (which is how I met both Beth and Allegra over a decade ago). But now I was going to be doing lead and backup vocals on multiple songs--an actual set list. Holy crap, you guys.
So, we've been practicing once a week throughout September, polishing a couple dozen songs that we hoped the attendees would enjoy.
But even though I practiced at home almost every night (sorry, neighbors and dogs) and encouraged my friends to come out for a good cause, I had one other thing on my mind: my hair.
It was going to be an unseasonably warm 83 degrees the day of the show, and to me, that meant my hair would look less than public-performance acceptable: dry, puffy, frizzy, with sweat weighing it down at the roots. I wanted better for myself for my first real bar band experience; I wanted better for the people who were donating $20 to Marci C.'s Project Purple team just to get in. They deserve a singer who's reaching her optimum hair potential.
So I booked an appointment at DreamDry, the blow-dry bar founded by Rachel Zoe and Robin Moraetes, and yesterday morning, I went to the 21st Street location (they also have a 57th Street spot).
DreamDry has just added Kerastase products to their existing Oribe selection, and my blower-outer, Jay, started out my style with a Kerastase Fusio-Dose treatment, in which a specific concentrate and a booster are combined for whatever your particular hair type and issues are. (Mine was for color-treated hair and moisture.)
Next, Jay swiped through the iPad at his station to show me the "menu" of blowout, updo and braid styles available, most named after the icons known for them: Veronica, Ali, Brigitte, etc. I went with the Farrah, a more subtle, sleek version of the loose waves Farrah Fawcett used to wear during her Charlie's Angels days.
Before breaking out the blowdryer, he applied Kerastase Chroma Thermique, a color-protecting leave-in treatment, and Kerastase Initialiste, a new scalp treatment to improve hair health. He also used Kerastase Lift Vertige to boost volume at only my roots, because the rest of my hair doesn't need any help in that area.
About 20 minutes and oodles--OODLES!--of celebrity gossip later, he asked me what I thought.
And I said, "I could never do this myself. I love it."
And it's true: No matter how hard I try, I can't manipulate my hair into this shiny, loosely brush-curled state, mostly because my icky autoimmune chronic pain prevents me from lifting my arms above my shoulders for long enough. And also because I'm not a hairstylist. Actually, that's probably the main reason.
I got compliments throughout the day and into the night as the event ran its course.
More than 100 people came to Stitch, and with others donating online, over $4,000 has been raised for pancreatic cancer research.
And to reflect what DreamDry charges for their awesome blowouts, I'm donating $40 myself. (And hey, you're more than welcome to throw a few bucks their way, too.)
Have you gone to a blow-dry bar? Would you go EVERY DAY if you could? Or would you reserve it for a special occasion like this?

Party Soccer Time Shift.
I knew I was walking into a party of performers when, on my way up the stairs, Santa grabbed my ass. Later in the evening, it was reinforced as I watched Santa and a pretty barmaid in drag "show Elvis that he was gay." I'll add here that Santa had some pretty slinky, frilly stuff going on under that jolly red exterior. After a few fierce games of ping-pong, interrupted only by the dog chomping on the ball whenever it entered his little sphere of influence, we settled down for some quiet chitchat.
Spectacle emerged once again, this time in the form of a short-skirted lass dangling a rather prodigious phallus (I would stack it up against three of mine) as bait, and said dog jumping, edging for a chomp. Needless to say, some of the gentlemen found this particular whimsy a trifle disconcerting. (Not only because of the phallus size.)
The party finished for seven of us at about three am. It was the first time I had seen the odd loft of Boris Koski, man of triumph, and I had been duly impressed. We were off to Jenny's to sleep, and she wanted to stop and see a sculpture on the way. The piece was in a park. We pulled the caravan over, halting, parked in its shadow. We looked at it, climbed on it, and took it in awhile. The sculpture was a tribute to peace, temporary in the park, to commemorate/ respect/ cry over/ somehow express some of what was going on in our world after September 11. There was a spiral staircase going nowhere, fitting poetry, a platform from which to request a dance, perhaps. A bald eagle with an 18-foot wing wingspan and a rose in its mouth graced a massive globe made of chain link fence, and even though I cultivate cynicism of all things patriotic, I felt shivers. It's not often we are proximate to the sacrifice of innocence, and it imparts grace.
I'm reminded of Julie. Julie gave me that line. We were lovers. We woke together on the morning of September 11 safe in my bed. Safe in what was once the choir loft of an old church in Cornwall Bridge, CT, surrounded by the quiet Berkshire Hills, and safe New York money. My friend Heather was leaving an alarmed message on my machine about a plane flying into one of the twin towers, and I allowed that to sink in, along with a mental note to turn the machine volume down, as we redrifted. The second message got us out of bed. A second plane. It wasn't an accident. We went to a local bar to see the TV. It was closed, but open to friends. We sat at the bar with my sister's boyfriend, drinking nothing but shock.
We both love to roller blade and when we got to the city, we rolled to the vigil at Union Square. Candles incongruent among the tall buildings, people being gentler than they are. Julie lives in SOHO: we were shimmered through the barriers. Below Canal, the silence was eerie and otherworldly. It was smoky. More smoky than you know. A friend had given me dust masks on the train. We had them on. Julie and I had spent many hours volunteering together before this, both believing there is hope for humanity. I'll never forget her eyes with the mask on, the eyes of a fighter, a black belt, cappuccino skin defying misfortune's white mask. Firebright eyes. I loved her then. We rolled through silent streets, unable to escape the glee of the miles and miles of room. I remarked on peoples' gentle treatment of each other on this night. She said, "It happens whenever there is a sacrifice of innocence." Quieted, we went home, and slept together, changed, scared, knowing safety is an illusion. Knowing life is uncertain.
A few weeks after, we arrived at one of those relationship impasses; neither wanting to get real, both knowing the superficial had been thoroughly explored. Julie got filed along with September 11 under "don't dwell on this," and I rolled on. The sculpture brought it all right back. It asked you to remember. I complied, drifting.
Then Brady pulled out a soccer ball. I don't even like soccer. We were lost to it. I took him up on it right away, and Martin followed suit as soon as he spotted us. We quickly grew from a hacky-type circle to a longer kick. It was clear that even after a long night of partying, rudimentary athletic ability was still well intact. Magic rode in on the back of a lifting ball. Past melted into past. We were no longer tired. It became all about the ball. About the game. About now. We kicked that thing all over the parking lot for an hour.
The quick ability; this lightening desire to set all aside in favor of generating fun, might be what they mean by grace. It was a turning point, a mad healing ritual you never see coming, with a twisted grinning cowboy shaman, and his magic life-giving soccer ball.

Every day I am fortunate to partner with physician-scientists who have transformational ideas and donors who believe in helping to make a difference in the world.
Washington, D.C. (Vocus) November 19, 2010
Children's National Medical Center Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer Pam King Sams, CFRE, was named Thursday as the 2010 Outstanding Fundraising Professional by the Association of Fundraising Professionals during the 9th annual National Capital Philanthropy Day.
"We are pleased to recognize Pam with this honor," said Association of Fundraising Professionals DC Chapter President Nancy Racette, CFRE. "She is truly dedicated to making a difference for children in this region and around world."
The Outstanding Fundraising Professional Award recognizes individual achievement resulting in significant philanthropic support for nonprofit organizations as well as the encouragement of others to take leadership roles in philanthropy.
In her role at Children's National, King Sams is responsible for managing the $500 million Transforming Children's Health campaign, which funds Children's National's strategic initiatives. In 2009, she helped facilitate a $150 million gift from the Government of Abu Dhabi to create the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation, the largest gift ever for pediatric surgery. Partnering with philanthropist and businessman Joseph E. Robert, Jr., and the hospital's physicians and scientists, she helped shape the vision for the Institute and form the historic partnership with Abu Dhabi.
"I've been lucky to work in a field where I can give back to society – and children specifically," said King Sams. "The reason I can do that is because every day I am fortunate to partner with physician-scientists who have transformational ideas and donors who believe in helping to make a difference in the world."
Andrew Blair, chairman of Children's Hospital Foundation Board, said, "Throughout her more than 20 years as a development professional, Pam has made an immeasurable impact on the lives of both children and adults through her passion for health-related causes. I can think of no one more deserving of this honor."
King Sams has a long history of supporting health and children's causes. Before coming to Children's National, King Sams was the director of development at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center and the executive director and operations officer of the Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital Foundation. She is certified as a fundraising executive through the Association of Fundraising Professionals and the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy and has served as a board member for the AHP Foundation. Pam currently serves on the Woodmark Group Board of Directors and as an ex-officio member of the Children's Hospital Foundation Board. She has also served as a board member for N Street Village, a women's homeless shelter in Washington, D.C.
The Children's Hospital Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization that serves as the fundraising arm for Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The foundation partners with individual donors, corporations, and community organizations to help the doctors, nurses, and clinicians at Children's National fulfill their vision to transform children's health in the Washington area, across the country, and around the world.

Jonathon Keats is a San Francisco-based experimental philosopher who has, over the years, sold real estate in the extra dimensions of space-time proposed by string theory (he sold a hundred and seventy-two extra-dimensional lots in the Bay Area in a single day); made an attempt to genetically engineer God (God turns out to be related to the cyanobacterium); and copyrighted his own mind (in order to get a seventy-year post-life extension.
Keats's bold experiments raise serious questions and put into practice his conviction that the world needs more "curious amateurs," willing to explore publicly whatever intrigues them, in defiance of a culture that increasingly forecloses on wonder and siloes knowledge into narrowly defined areas of expertise.
Experimental philosopher Keats explains how a thought experiment allowed him to create a situation in which science and religion became compatible.
Keats explains how marriage can be treated as a metaphor by explaining the process by which two people can become married not by government definition, but by a law of nature, thanks to advances in quantum physics.
The worth thing to ever happen to us, says Jonathon Keats, was when we stopped being children. Fortunately, he explains (by way of honeybees) that it's possible to re-enter that space of precociousness and wonder.
Keats explains how he combined string theory with San Francisco real estate to explore the relationships between paradoxical concepts.
Jonathon Keats introduces his workshop on experimental philosophy by listing the rules and lessons he's developed over the years.
Keats explains an experiment in which he opened a restaurant for plants and how it helped spur an exploration of cuisine as cultural trademark.
Where do new ideas come from? One tactic is to train your brain to innovate through the use of thought experiments.
If curiosity is your curriculum the best way in which that curriculum can be undertaken is for all of your students to cut school and that's a great idea, but it really won't work at an institutional level in most...
The art market is a market where commodification is the purpose even at the level of museums which effectively exist by virtue of the generosity of patrons.
Harnessing relativity, technology can even give us the time to live.

EDISON — The New Jersey Council of County Colleges presented a 2012 Community College Spirit Award to Dr. Karen Hays, vice president for academic and student affairs at Middlesex County College. The award, for her work on the Big Ideas Project, was presented during the council's annual Trustee Conference in June. She was one of 14 community college administrators honored.
The Big Ideas Project is the collective effort of all 19 New Jersey community colleges to improve student success.
Dr. Hays worked with Dr. Eileen Abel, senior vice president for academic affairs at Raritan Valley Community College, to develop a plan to revamp developmental education statewide. They looked at trends and best practices nationally and developed the paper to improve student success in developmental courses.
"We hope this will allow students to transfer into college-credit courses quicker and in greater numbers, increasing their opportunities for graduation," Dr. Hays said.
Helen Albright, the council's vice chair, lauded the awardees.
Since its inauguration in 1993, the Community College Spirit Award has been an honor bestowed to those who embody the community college spirit – perseverance, dedication and excellence," she said. "Our awardees have been hard at work this year providing statewide leadership and energy on the following eight initiatives designed to improve student success and ensure that community colleges are sustainable for generations to come: Transforming Developmental Education; Aligning Expectations Between K-12 and Community Colleges; Creating Student Success Data; Promoting Adjunct Faculty Development; Expanding Joint Purchasing Practices; Building Academic Consortia; Building Alternate Learning Delivery Systems; and Using Core Student Learning Outcomes and Common Assessment Tools."
The New Jersey Council of County Colleges is the state association representing New Jersey's 19 community colleges. As an independent, trustee-headed organization that joins the leadership of trustees and presidents, the Council is the voice of the community college sector before the state legislature and other branches of government. The Council is also the state coordinating organization for all community colleges in New Jersey.

ERP for Automotive Industry
Automotive industries depend heavily on ERP solutions not only to help with finance but also to gain 360 degree visibility, meet rigid requirements, timely deliveries and avoiding product recall. ERP systems help in streamlining the company processes and successfully solving the challenges posed in the way of business. In particular with the automotive industry, it helps track, analyze the trend, and manage the materials, labour, machine and cost associated. The ERP software also provides seamless integration to the various modules, leading to transparency in the system and way of work. While going for an ERP system companies evaluate on the basis of initial investment, the operating costs that the company will incur and time is to value ratio.
While choosing ERP for automotive industry, there are pointers to take care of beyond flexibility, scalability and business continuity. Evaluate if the below mentioned pointers are supported by the vendors.
- Product Tracking: To be compliant with government regulations, automotive manufacturers need to keep a tab of every part of an individual product. Software solution for the automotive industry is required so as to identify and isolate the problematic part before they pass to the distribution chain.
- Supply chain management: Automotive industries face the challenge of producing both in quantity and quality to address demand. ERP for automotive industry should be capable to track and present real time data related to manufacturing, quality and supply. Additionally, there should be a way to store this data for future.
- Managing data electronically: Most automotive manufactures manage data electronically. The automotive ERP software should enable the manufacturers to attach, save and access files electronically. This not only saves paper, but also is fast, minimizes waste and eliminates human error.
- Monitoring Inventory: In the case of manufacturing of automotive parts, inventory has to be carefully planned as excess inventory will be a wasteful expense. Automotive ERP software should adopt individual tracking to aid in this scenario. Additionally, the presence of materials requirements planning will help the automotive manufacture to plan for just-in- time delivery of the raw materials to be used, reduce the costs associated with inventory holding and delays due to absence of required component.
- Integrated Financials: It is a must to have an ERP system that is integrated with all the departments aiding in seamless flow of data and aids in consolidation of all the available data so that costs involved with production, spare parts, inventory etc. are available and transparent.

Upon his arrival in a major-league clubhouse for the first time on Monday, Christian Colon, the new utility infielder for the Royals, received a simple directive from manager Ned Yost.
"Help us win some games," Yost told Colon, the No. 4 pick in the 2010 draft and a player searching for a big-league niche. The organization hopes he can find one in the coming weeks. Colon replaced Pedro Ciriaco as part of the bench.
"I'm as pumped as I can be," Colon said. "It's what you dream of."
For years, as Colon toiled in the minors, fans fretted over the players the Royals could have selected in his place. The draft did not overflow with talent. But the Royals chose Colon over pitchers such as Matt Harvey and Chris Sale. The Mets' Harvey started the All-Star Game last season before requiring Tommy John surgery. Sale haunts the Royals a few times a year for the White Sox.
The Royals projected Colon as a serviceable big-league shortstop. The acquisition and ascension of Alcides Escobar altered his development. For Omaha this year, Colon spent 33 games at shortstop, 26 at second base and 12 at third.
"I think he'll really handle second base exceptionally well," assistant general manager J.J. Picollo said in May. "Shortstop, he's going to be an adequate guy there. The range is what's going to be a little bit of a concern, if he plays over a long period of time.
"Third base he can handle, because he's got instincts, and he's got a good first step, and he's got good hands."
Aoki not healed
When Nori Aoki (groin strain) returns from the disabled list, the Royals may face a roster crunch.
The addition of Raul Ibanez brought another outfielder into the clubhouse. But the Royals likely won't have to make any decisions on Aoki any time soon.
Yost indicated he did not expect Aoki to return during this 10-day road trip. Aoki is eligible to leave the disabled list on Sunday.
"He's right where we thought he'd be, right where he's supposed to be," Yost said. "Feeling better. But not quite 100 percent."
Ratings on rise
The Royals' surge in June coincided with a rise in ratings for their games on Fox Sports Kansas City. The 26 games on the network averaged a 6.5 household rating, compared with 5.1 in May, the team announced. The overall pace, a 5.8 household rating, is still lagging behind last year's mark.
Hosmer heating up?
The one silver lining for the Royals on Tuesday? Eric Hosmer, the team's struggling first baseman, had a four-hit night. They were all singles.
It was his third four-hit game of the season.

(My talk at the Symposium "Global Communication Research in the 21st Century" on June 16, 2015 at the Penn Wharton China Center, Beijing, China)
Two years ago, I left my job as a journalist at Southern Weekly (南方周末) and went to the U.S. for PhD study. At that time, I carried the pride of being a print journalist, which was reflected in my personal statement. In the not very well-written statement, I said, "I plan to pursue my inquiry into the relationship between media and democracy with a more reflective and scholarly approach." After the word "media", I added a note in parentheses: both traditional and new media. I knew that both the industry and academia were shifting their focus to the digital world, but I firmly believed that the new media was still relying on traditional media. The best content, the quality and serious journalism was still produced by print journalists. The digital media were not so much more than plagiarism and clickbait (标题党). So the hidden meaning between the lines in my personal statement was: I know we have to study new media now, but I still think it's the newspapers and magazines that matter.
I changed my mind soon, not because the American professors asked me to forget about the print journalist pride, but because nearly all my former colleagues have left or are about to leave the newspaper industry.
During past two years, I buried myself in endless papers and books, and my old friends were buried in endless opportunities to start a new career in the digital world. They are now chief editors of websites and news apps, startup CEOs, and executives at Internet companies that were recently listed on Nasdaq. Two of my Southern Weekly colleagues who used to call themselves "the last knights in the digital age who stick to the pride, beauty and dignity of old-fashioned print journalism" are now PR managers at two Internet companies.
For the small amount of journalists who stay in the rapidly declining industry, I see them struggling with keeping the audience from leaving too fast. They try to learn what's trending among young people, try to write like an 18-year-old. It's a difficult process and sometimes it ends up with very awkward articles. Naturally, the newsrooms are divided into two parts, half of them are journalists who write for traditional outlets, they were born in the 1970s and 1980s, and their articles are read by fewer and fewer people; the other half are the so-called "post-90s", or even "post-95s", they seldom read newspapers and they are running the social media accounts of print outlets, which are becoming the major channel through which people get information. Before long, most people won't know what's been printed in a newspaper, but know what's been posted by the paper's Weibo and WeChat accounts.
So, what's being posted? Vastly different from the print version. It's hard to say if it's better or worse. But it could be said that sometimes they posted very inappropriate content.
Let's see an example. Half a month ago, a cruise ship carrying hundreds of elderly tourists sunk in the Yangtze River, more than 400 people died. The next day, the official Weibo account of Hubei Daily, the party mouthpiece of Hubei province, where the accident happened, posted a message that according to the State Council, the strong wind and heavy rain caused the accident. Later it was found to be fake news. Hubei Daily's Weibo account posted a statement apologizing for the mistake. The last sentence reads, "I, the little editor, was wrong. Could you forgive me and continue supporting our Weibo, OK?" Then, the editor posted an emoji, showing innocence.
The sentence was written in a tone like an 18-year-old girl, and the emoji angered many people. Posting such an emoji showed that the social media editor didn't realize the importance, the seriousness and the sorrow of the great tragedy.
The new generation who run the social media accounts have an "emoji mindset", while the older generation don't have it. Sometimes the use of emoji fun and playful, but sometimes it harms the content and the image of the media outlet.
From the case of Hubei Daily, we clearly see the invasion of the new generation's mindset into the old print mindset. I know it's useless to mourn the past glory of print journalism, but I want to emphasize that the unidirectional replacement of old mindset by new digital mindset is not the whole story. It's also possible that the new media will be influenced by and adopt what's been regarded as the print mindset.
Take Buzzfeed as an example. This digital media is famous for its viral content such as cute cat pictures, lists and quizzes. It's a master of clickbait and perhaps the best example of digital media mindset. However, in late 2011, Ben Smith of Politico was hired as Editor-in-Chief. And Buzzfeed has expanded the site into serious journalism, long-form and reportage. Early this year, Buzzfeed got partial seat in the White House briefing room, with traditional media surrounding it.
Snapchat is another example. It's a popular app among young people. It's a vanishing-message app, which makes selfies disappear after 10 seconds. Recently, it hired a CNN political reporter to lead its nascent news division. It's also hiring a number of journalists to cover the 2016 US presidential race. The New York Times asked: "Will 2016 be the Snapchat election?"
The cases of Buzzfeed and Snapchat are really impressive but quite unimaginable to Chinese people. It seems very unlikely that a Chinese digital media focusing on entertainment will turn to serious journalism. But in other areas, there are already some examples of digital media that are doing a better job in providing quality content than traditional media.
One example is Dingxiangyuan (丁香园). It's an online community of doctors and medical professionals. Recently it launched a WeChat public account that provides reliable health tips to the elders. Most of you know that social media in China are filled with misleading information on health issues. Dingxiangyuan's account contributes to a better information environment.
Another example is a project run by some friends and me. Its name is CNPolitics (政见). Its mission is to introduce academic work on Chinese politics and society in plain language, in short articles, to the Chinese public. We are a group of young scholars living in different places all over the world. Because our daily work is to read papers and books, and we have the ability to translate and summarize the often very long papers, we consider ourselves to be the best people to do this work, better than media professionals.
These examples show that there are much more possibilities during the transition from traditional to digital media. It should be a two-way converging process rather than the new replacing the old. My former colleagues in the newspaper industry are still trying to adapt to the new digital world, and the new generation should also be influenced by and learn from the legacy of the qualify, serious journalism of the old-fashioned media outlets. They should also have the aspiration to provide quality content, to investigate crimes, corruption and other forms of wrongdoings, to inform the public, to promote civic engagement, etc.
To conclude, the glory of print journalism is past but should not be forgotten. The dream of digital media should be richer, more diverse, and maybe not dramatically different from the dreams of the old world.

Pick Your Own Farm
It all started on October 11, 2010, Josh had a great idea to expand the existing Corn Maze and Fall Festival by planting dwarf apple trees for a Pick-Your-Own apple orchard. Within a couple of weeks, he had 3,800 trees and supplies ordered for planting in Spring, 2011. At the beginning of December 2010, we started clearing 5 acres of land and tree line until the beginning of snow season. In March we finished clearing the land and preparing to install 2,200 feet of 8' high deer fence to protect the apples from crop damage. In April, we planted 60 Sugar Maple and Red Sunset Maple trees around the perimeter of the orchard to give it some Autumn color. By the end of April, we planted the apple trees and put white protective sleeves around the trunks. In May, we started constructing a 4 wire trellis support system, tied the trees to the first wire, and removed all the apple blossoms. The irrigation system was installed in June to water them, and pruned and trained the trees by tying the limbs down. Then it was time to just watch them grow! One blossom was missed, so we only had one apple this first year.
In 2012, we expanded the orchard to a total of 15 acres, with almost a mile of deer fencing. We planted another 3,000 apple trees. In 2013, we expanded the orchard again for a total of 26 acres, with over a mile and a quarter of deer fencing, and planted another 4,300 trees. In 2014, we added another 4,300 trees and in 2015, added 3,000 more trees. Each year we have added more trees, with over 30,000 dwarf apple trees on a trellis system, literally creating a wall of apples. We have 23 varieties of apples for the Pick-Your-Own orchard in the surrounding Lehigh Valley.
In 2013, we planted 2,500 Sweet and Sour Cherry trees, available to pick in June and July.
We also planted 30,000 Strawberries, to add to our Pick Your Own Farm experience. Available to pick end of May through June.

Wednesday's Child would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Jacob Rothrock and his Outdoor Pursuits crew for allowing Alyssa to have an amazing day at the North Idaho College zip-line and ropes course
Thank you to Jana Lyn Southard @ Southard Snapshots for Alyssa's amazing photos!
Adventurous, resourceful and funny are the first qualities you'll notice when you get to know 16 year old Alyssa. A leader among her friends, some of Alyssa's favorite things to do include being outdoors, listening to music and anything art related. Alyssa is always up for a challenge- like her recent trip to the North Idaho College high ropes course and zip-line, where she bravely tackled tree climbing and rope bridges for the first time!
You will rarely have to guess what is on Alyssa's mind, as she is an outspoken girl with strong opinions. A family who values these traits and sees them as a strength for young women will go far in helping Alyssa learn to use her strong personality in a manner that will allow her to get her needs met in positive ways. A caregiver who has the skillset to avoid power struggles would be an ideal match for Alyssa's personality. Alyssa has had to grow up much too quickly in many areas of her life. A family who can provide consistency and structure for her and also support her ability to participate in age appropriate activities that truly allow her to just enjoy being 16 years old would be a great fit. These qualities in an adoptive family will go a long way toward helping Alyssa heal from her past trauma and will assist her in building a strong and stable future.
Both Alyssa and her permanency team feel that the best fit for Alyssa in an adoptive family would be a single mom with an understanding of how childhood trauma and neglect can affect a child's physical, social, emotional and academic development and well-being. A parent who understands and supports the benefits of ongoing therapeutic services for Alyssa will be crucial to her success. Ideally, Alyssa would like to remain in the North Idaho area in order to preserve connections with her two siblings; however her team is open to inquiries from other areas as well.
Alyssa understands that even though she is approaching young adulthood, she will continue to need the love, care and support that the right adoptive family can provide her. Alyssa is sure to bring laughter, love and adventure to the right family; one that is ready to commit to her wholeheartedly and stay committed to her through her struggles as well as her successes. If you believe that you have what Alyssa is searching for in her Forever Family, please inquire about her today!
Check out Alyssa's interview on KXLY!

Great sound for great price
Posted by Camron on
Love the way it sounds, not too loud, very deep rumble with and without silencer. Only complaint is that the silencer wasn't made very well and the tube half broke off and fell back into my pipes lmao
great tone
Posted by Mike Kauffman on
Very smooth low tone. Bolt on and fits great.
sounds amazing!
Posted by Tristin Strihavka on
This exhaust paired with the isr 4-2-1 header and test pipe makes the KA sound so mean and grumbly, I love it.

great sounding exhaust for the price
Excellent Product
Posted by Unknown on
I love the way it sounds! everything bolted up perfect along with the ISIS Test pipe on my S13 SOHC. all hangers were in exact location. everything fit perfect with no modifications. ISIS makes an Excellent Product For the Price. Very Pleased With this exhaust system! Sounds Amazing!!
Nice sound
Posted by Little zombie on
Sounds really good, has a deep tone to it without the silencer. With it on sounds to high pitch to me. Sounds great on my hatch with a ka! Digging the look of the exhaust. The welds look really well done.
Looks great
Posted by Old Man! on
Nice fit, had to cut off rear tow hook for a better fit though. Very nice welds.
Posted by SEAN on
Bought for my 91 hatch, I got compliments on the sound every day. Not to mention I loved hearing it idle... just purring. definetly best exhaust for the money.
match it with a megan 3" flex DP and you have a great quality inexpensive exhaust that looks good too.
Sounds great
Posted by Unknown on
I put this on my hatch. It sounds so nice. It's not like the ricey fart cans. It has a deep sound versus sounding like a weed eater. Only thing is, if you have a fairly low car, you'll probably need to heat the hangers to bend them to make it sit higher!
(My car is an 1 1/2" off the ground, the exhaust was less than half an inch.)
Posted by Unknown on
Performs great on my coupe. Nice deep, rumbly aggressive sound! REALLY loud without the silencer though. Overall its great!

Instead, it fell to the vanquished Wigan manager Roberto Martinez, still smarting at a seventh straight defeat, to most effectively sum up the euphoric mood that is engulfing St James' Park.
"Everyone can see Newcastle are a big traditional club with a massive support and they have a special environment in which to play their football," said Martinez, whose side fell to a superb strike from Cabaye with nine minutes remaining.
"It will only be a matter of time before they're in the top six, but you're talking about [challenging] teams who have been playing in the Champions League for the last six or seven years and have invested huge sums of money.
"Newcastle are in the process of doing that, but potentially they're as good as anybody in European football. At the moment, though, there are six clubs ahead of everyone else, and it's very difficult to build those bridges. Newcastle are trying."
It is far too early in the season to be certain that Newcastle are European contenders again, but the longer this run of form continues the more persuasive the argument becomes.
Not at their best against Wigan - it was probably their worst home performance of the season - they still managed to take all three points.Their talented young Dutch goalkeeper, Tim Krul, made one impressive save in the first half to deny Victor Moses and Hugo Rodallega missed a decent opening minutes later, but even when Wigan were on top they found it difficult to break down a defence superbly marshalled by Newcastle's captain Fabricio Coloccini.
Newcastle should have scored either side of half-time when Leon Best and Demba Ba failed to beat Ali Al-Habsi with close range headers, but just as it seemed their momentum had ground to a halt, Cabaye produced a tremendous first-time shot from the edge of the area which found the top corner. Mohamed Diamé had a chance to equalise late on but headed wide.
"I scored a few goals like that for Lille and it feels very special to score my first goal in English football, especially because it was the winner," Cabaye said. "We are getting used to looking at the table and seeing ourselves in fourth place and it feels good. Although we were lucky against Wigan, there is nothing lucky about having 19 points after nine games."
A satsified Pardew added: "We appreciate that in the first nine games we've surprised even ourselves, but you have to look at the side and say it must have quality in it to get 19 points.In three or four games people would say we were fortunate to win. We've had our share of luck, but there is also something else in this team that says we could have a good season."
After a Carling Cup tie at Blackburn on Wednesday, Newcastle travel to Stoke and then host Everton. Should they remain unbeaten in those two league games it would equal the club's best start to a Premier League season, set by Kevin Keegan's 'Entertainers' in 1994.
How Tyneside has captured the spirit of '96
Newcastle's victory on Saturday means they are enjoying their best start to a top flight season since 1996, when they led the table having taken 21 points from nine games. In their next outing they beat Manchester United 5-0 at St James' Park - but it was all downhill after that. One win in the next nine games led to Kevin Keegan's resignation, although the club rallied sufficiently to finish second.

Good looking, fashionable shoes just aren't for women. Men, too, have countless options for footwear and can follow the trends to keep their feet looking just as high-fashion as the rest of their wardrobe for this fall/winter season.
These shoes will be staples in your wardrobe and will fit in with nearly every clothing item you own, casual or dress.
1. The Plimsoll
What exactly is a plimsoll? A plimsoll isn't exactly a sneaker. It's usually made of either canvas or suede and features a thinner sole. This makes these shoes perfect for wearing on the weekend when out with your significant other for a brunch date. Pair these with a pair of comfortably fitting trousers and t-shirt for an effortless, cool look. Plimsolls are a great grownup alternative to tennis shoes. You'll get great use out of these.
2. The Oxford
This leather shoes on paulevansny will always be in style, no matter what year it is. This is a necessary item for any man's wardrobe. The oxford is as versatile as a shoe can get; it is perfect for the office and for business meetings, while also being great for weekends out on the town. If you're afraid this shoe is too "stuffy" for you, keep it interesting by buying socks with fun, colorful prints that can peek through.
3. The High-End Tennis Shoe
The high-end tennis shoe has been in style for quite some time now and it doesn't look like the trend is going anywhere any time soon. You'll have no trouble getting your hands on a pair of shoes that are well made and comfortable. Look for high end materials like calfskin for an added touch of luxury. Nice tennis shoes can be worn with nearly anything – even a suit. Tennis shoes aren't just for exercising anymore. They're worth a little extra investment.
Paul Evans, a high end shoe designer based in New York City, is always on trend when it comes to men's shoes. The founders of the company were tired of their retail experience in the States and decided to fly to Italy with one idea in mind: to find stylish, comfortable shoes made from the best materials. They accomplished just that.
Paul Evans shoes are handmade by generational artisans in Naples, Italy, and are delivered straight to you with no middle man and a bit of help from a delivery guy. With the power of the internet, Paul Evans makes high-quality, timeless leather shoes affordable and accessible.

Brief Reflections on Baseball
1. The Philadelphia Phillies are fun to watch. And a pox on the house of my Met-fan colleague who argued that Jimmy Rollins was limited offensively and that Shane Victorino isn't proven. If Rollins is limited, then the sky is his max. Also, the advent of Davey Lopes as a Phillies' coach apparently has sprung the fleet Victorino into his newly found role as a base stealer. The team leads the National League in runs scored (significantly so). Okay, so their pitching staff is leaky, two outfielders got hurt last night and Chase Utley is on the DL, but every team has problems. That doesn't mean that this team isn't fun to watch.
2. The Phillies Look Like They're Having Fun. Charlie Manuel deserves some credit -- this is a loose ball club. The position players, at least, looking like they're enjoying themselves immensely. So does Cole Hamels. Manuel also deserves credit, I think, for mentoring some players into being better hitters, with Rollins being Exhibit A.
3. Will the Phillies Fire Charlie Manuel After the Season? Jayson Stark was on my local ESPN Radio station last week, and he had some interesting points. Stark thinks that if Manuel doesn't get this team into the playoffs -- pitching shortages, injuries and all -- that Manuel gets the axe after the season. But Stark believes that if he gets the team to 83 wins with the pitching that he has (and he made these comments before Chase Utley got hurt and before both Shane Victorino and Michael Bourn went down with injuries), that Manuel should be Manager of the Year. Yes, Stark pointed out, Manuel can make iffy pitching moves. But the team is winning baseball games, too. Manuel has grown on me -- his team plays relaxed, and what are they going to do, replace him with a Larry Bowa type? Why? Okay, so there could be someone else, but the ownership shouldn't be so quick to dispense with Charlie.
4. Battle of the Shanes. On Saturday night, Shane Youman of the Pirates faced Shane Victorino of the Phillies. I'd bet it's the first time that a Shane pitched to a Shane in MLB history. I don't think that former Mariner and Phillie Shane Rawley faced any Shanes during his day. Victorino's team scored 8 runs in the bottom of the fifth on Saturday night and won going away.
5. A Tale of Two Cities. About 3 weeks ago I watched games in Philadelphia and Baltimore on back-to-back nights. The atmosphere in Philadelphia was electric -- Utley, Howard, Rollins and rookie pitcher Kyle Kendrick. Fans got to the park early, the Phillies banged out 23 hits and won 13-3. The following night we went to Baltimore, and the once-exciting place was funereal. I suppose that's what happens when you have ownership that is possibly worse than your neighbor 2 hours and 15 minutes to the north and you're on the verge of your tenth straight losing season (come to think of it, you haven't had that much to cheer about since you won the Series in 1983). Okay, Miguel Tejada and Melvin Mora were hurt, but this once was the premier baseball town in America (with St. Louis a close second). The fans were listless, and I suppose it's hard to get excited when your outfield includes Jay Payton and Corey Patterson, both of whom laid eggs with the fans as far as I'm concerned because they didn't sign one autograph before the game. They should feel fortunate to be in the majors and to have fans watching their product (as it turned out, the game was exciting, and the O's won in the bottom of the tenth on a Nick Markakis hit). In contrast, Jamie Moyer stood outside in a hot sun last Saturday night, the day after he pitched, and signed autographs for at least 20 minutes, maybe more.
That's about it for now. All typos are mine.

SOURCE: Idaho First Bank
January 15, 2014 21:11 ET
MCCALL, ID--(Marketwired - Jan 15, 2014) - Today Idaho First Bank (OTCQB: IDFB) reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Bank reported net income of $1,216,000 for the year, compared to net income of $262,000 in 2012. Net income before taxes was up 77%, from $262,000 in 2012 to $464,000 in 2013. Net income was enhanced as the Bank began to utilize the benefit of its deferred tax asset. "We believe the results speak for themselves," stated Mark Miller, Chairman of the Board. "The Bank can be proud of its continuing improvement in its financial performance."
Comparing the two years, the Bank achieved a 10% increase in net interest income. This was driven by average loan growth of 3% and net interest margin improving from 3.88% to 4.10%. Improving credit quality allowed for a reduction in the provision for loan losses from $685,000 to $410,000. Mortgage banking income was up 31%, contributing to the improved results. "The performance of the loan portfolio is having a positive impact on our earnings. Lower problem loan levels also contributed to the improvement in the net interest margin," stated Greg Lovell, President and CEO. Further Mr. Lovell said, "Our focus on the purchase market for our real estate group continues to strengthen our position as a leader in mortgage lending."
Nonperforming assets were $1.5 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of 20% from the prior year. The allowance for loan losses was 1.52% of loans at December 31. During 2013 the Bank restructured its occupancy cost which lowered costs significantly and provided addition capital to the Bank. Net income was significantly affected by a tax benefit of $752,000, as the Bank recognized a tax benefit for a portion of net operating loss carry forwards.
The Bank successfully raised $3.4 million of new capital stock during the year. With increased earnings and additional stock the Bank's shareholders' equity reached $9.5 million, or 10% of assets at the end of December. Book value per share was 59 cents at December 31, 2013.
"The Bank has reached a capital level that is strong," stated Chairman Miller. President Lovell stated, "We continue to have improving economic conditions in our market areas that should allow continued improvement in our operating performance."
Idaho First Bank is a state-chartered commercial bank that opened for business in October 2005. Its headquarters are located in McCall, Idaho, with a branch and a mortgage banking office located in Boise.

I spent a morning twenty-seven years ago delivering phone books in downtown Boston with my friend Dennis Daniels. Dennis had lived for many years at the SRO men's hotel on Myrtle Street, nearly atop Beacon Hill, which he fondly called "The plush, but not exclusive Beacon Chambers."
Dennis took a judge's offer of service in Vietnam rather than jail, just after his 18th birthday. He never graduated from high school, but was a brilliant observer. Dennis read seven newspapers every day (five in the morning, then Chicago around lunch, and the Los Angeles Times each afternoon). ~ (Above--the "plush but not exclusive Beacon Chambers.")
Dennis became homeless when Ronald Reagan was president but after ten years of hard work and sobriety he rose to become City Editor of the Boston Herald, which was then one of the ten largest papers in the United States. Dennis had a selective photographic memory. He remembered every single thing he wanted to remember, and some terrible things that no one should have experienced. He knew every song list at virtually every rock concert in Boston between 1975 and 1986. He also knew virtually every single fact about Richard Nixon. Like many liberal democrats at the time, Dennis hated Nixon.
Dennis knew all about Operation Menu (the secret bombing of Cambodia) and about Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office on North Bedford Drive in Beverly Hills. He knew why Archie Cox was fired, and he had many theories about the 18.5 minute gap on a Watergate tape.
A friend asked Dennis one day, if Dennis could ask Nixon any question, and Nixon had to tell the truth, what would Dennis ask?
Dennis did not miss a beat.
"He had to tell the truth?" Dennis asked to confirm.
"Yes, the truth," said my friend
"Why are you such an asshole?" said Dennis
Dennis had a way of distilling complex issues down to what really mattered. And the answers he garnered, as a reporter and a friend, served to inform the entirety of my understanding of America. Dennis died after a long period of being homeless. I miss him everyday. But I miss him especially before elections. I would like to know what he would ask Mitt Romney.
The central issue in this campaign is honesty. Not because being a good person who does not lie is particularly important, but rather because one candidate is acting with deceit in describing their positions. We may not want everything President Obama will try to accomplish. But there is really no way of knowing what policies Governor Romney will pursue if he is elected.
A tough friend of mine used to say, "Watch what people do, not what they say." I think it is also important to listen to what they say is just or fair. Personal determinations of what is "fair" tells a lot about a person.
Governor Romney has hidden a few of the things he has done, so, we can't really judge him on his actions.
Governor Romney has also veiled his future plans, so we cannot make a good determination based on what he says he stands for.
America is not fair. We all know that. But the best of America strives for fairness. As our rules become more fair, men and women with talent and a willingness to work hard are more able to improve their lives. And as their new energy enters our economic system, our economy grows, and the lives of everyone, improve.
Governor Romney has said over and over that this is one of the most important elections in the history of America. And that it is absolutely vital that he and the Republicans win. And yet he has also said that he would rather lose the election than disclose his taxes.
UBS Gold with emblem in form of Swiss Cross
What is he hiding, and why is he hiding it?
If he in fact simply wants to keep his donations to the Mormon church private, then fine, simply redact that one dollar amount... but tell us how much he earned and how much he
paid in taxes, now, before we vote.
I asked another friend of mine yesterday what he would ask Governor Romney, if the governor had to tell the truth. In essence, this is what Frank said. If Governor Romney wants us to entrust him with the leadership of our nation, he MUST answer these questions. He has asked us to make him president of the United States. Whom we pick now will have an enormous impact on our lives and the lives of our children. We cannot make an informed choice if Romney continues to keep his taxes secret.
In 2009 the IRS forced UBS to disclose the names of all of its American clients who held bank accounts in Switzerland. Governor Romney, your Name, and your Swiss Bank Account were disclosed* to the IRS. You have refused to release your tax records from that year. My question is:
Did the IRS force you to pay back taxes due on the monies you had held secretly in your Swiss Account? If the answer is yes, then You, Governor Romney, used your secret Swiss Bank Account to hide from income taxes. Your tax payments may be private. But if you were forced to pay back taxes on a secret account, American's deserve to know this before we vote.
Question 2:
Nearly all of your income now is from investments. Therefore you pay very little of your federal taxes as regular income tax. You support the Ryan budget proposal. If it becomes law, the capital gains tax will fall to near zero. Which means that you will earn many millions of dollars each year, but pay virtually no federal tax on any of that income.
Do you think that is fair?
Frank's third question is also vital -- but, if Romney really had to tell the truth, I would stick with Dennis on that one.
So c'mon, write me back -- if you could ask Mitt Romney one question,and he had to tell the truth, what would you ask?
* The settlement, and IRS policies leading up to this, gave a sort of "criminal prosecution holiday" to Mitt Romney and others who held secret Swiss bank accounts. The IRS gave Romney and the other holders six months to voluntarily disclose their Swiss accounts. If they disclosed voluntarily, then the IRS basically agreed not to prosecute them criminally for tax evasion. But, if they had used the secret accounts to hide from taxes, then they would still have to pay the back taxes. If Romney was forced to pay back taxes owed on that account -- then he used that account to hide from American taxes. If the IRS had not created the special deal, Romney might well have been criminally prosecuted for hiding income from taxation.
