I put The Willary's clothes through the ringer and found they're durable enough to survive everything from daily bike commutes through New York to welding steel shelves and good-looking enough to impress while landing my job as a gallery manager. |
Versatility like this is important, because like most Makers, I wear a lot of hats. I build, paint, design, metalsmith, manage, draft, tutor, and run a gallery. I want my clothes to be as well-crafted, thoughtful and durable as the things I make. |
In my many lines of work I'm usually the only gal in the room. Sometimes I need to speak a little louder to be heard or remind people I can carry my own tools. I don't want the added inconvenience of dealing with wimpy, too-tight clothes that constrict my movement and distract me from my work. With The Willary I'm proud to give us a tool that helps us take on our work with confidence, ease and style. |

Man faces drug felonies after Elmira house search |
An Elmira man faces felony charges after police executed a search warrant Friday. |
Police stopped Tamell Williams-Atkins, 28, as he was leaving a residence at 450 Albert St. by vehicle, according to the Elmira Police Department. |
Williams-Atkins possessed more than 8 grams of crack cocaine, along with marijuana and more than $900 in cash, police said. |
Police then executed a search warrant at the Albert Street address, and reportedly found another large quantity of crack cocaine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. |
Officers also located a loaded handgun, which had been previously reported stolen out of Pennsylvania, police said. |
Police charged Williams-Atkins with three counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, a felony. Additional charges are pending as a result of the search warrant, police said. |
The arrest follows a two-month investigation by the Elmira Police Department Drug Enforcement Unit and the New York State Police Community Narcotics Enforcement Team into the sale of narcotics out of the Albert Street residence.<eot>US Lobby Groups Most Effective at Blocking Climate Action – Report - DeSmog |
US Lobby Groups Most Effective at Blocking Climate Action – Report |
By Rich Collett-White |
on Sep 23, 2019 @ 09:50 PDT |
US lobby groups representing the fossil fuel and automotive industries are world leaders when it comes to stalling government action on climate change, new research shows. |
Of the top 10 trade associations considered to be the most effective at opposing climate-friendly policies globally, seven are based in Washington DC, according to a report published this week by lobbying watchdog InfluenceMap. |
Many of the organisations, which include the American Petroleum Institute and the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, have had their wishes granted since President Trump's election. As part of a broader deregulatory agenda, the Trump administration has scrapped regulations on methane emissions and automotive fuel efficiency standards. |
Analysis by the NYU School of Law's State Energy and Environmental Impact Center suggests these regulatory rollbacks will add an estimated 200 million tonnes of extra greenhouse gas emissions annually by 2025. |
The report coincides with a UN Climate Action Summit taking place in New York this week, which aims to strengthen countries' emissions reduction plans, with an overall goal of "net zero" by 2050. |
Fighting climate action |
The lobby groups highlighted in the report have been working to undermine efforts to introduce climate policies since long before Trump's election, however. |
The National Association of Manufacturers, which tops the list, coordinated the now-defunct Global Climate Coalition, which tried to influence the UN's IPCC process and spread doubt about climate science during the 1990s. |
In 2009, the American Petroleum Institute and the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers funded rallies against the proposed Clean Energy Act which would have established a "cap-and-trade" emissions scheme across the country. |
The National Mining Association currently runs an astroturf campaign called 'Count on Coal', while the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a recipient of Koch and ExxonMobil funding, has developed numerous "model bills" for states to adopt over the years. They include opposition to renewable energy targets and support for the controversial Keystone XL tar sands pipeline. |
Three trade associations from other countries feature in the top 10: the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, the Minerals Council of Australia and the Japan Business Federation. BusinessEurope, a coalition of trade federations that has opposed the EU increasing its action on climate change, sits at number 12. |
InfluenceMap argues that while the groups have so far managed to avoid significant public scrutiny, they are being "increasingly challenged by investors, the media and politicians that recognise the role they play in holding back effective action to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions." |
Beau O'Sullivan, Communications Manager at the shareholder activism charity ShareAction, said the findings reinforce growing calls for companies to sever ties with organisations working to kill off strong climate policies: |
"This report rightly quantifies the insidious nature of the anti-climate lobby powerhouse. Investors are indeed alert to this and are taking action." |
"Most recently, investors have filed an ambitious shareholder resolution at mining company BHP to ask it to cut ties with the worst offenders in obstructive lobbying, namely the Minerals Council of Australia, Business Council of Australia, and US Chamber of Commerce. Voting for this proposal will be a real test of investor action." |
Ed Collins, Project Lead on Climate Lobbying at InfluenceMap, told DeSmog the trade associations were also "facing increasing pressure from more progressive parts of their membership". |
"We are at a crucial time for climate action. But against a backdrop of huge public concern around climate change and increasingly dire warnings from scientists, these trade groups continue to frustrate progress on climate policy, especially in the US, which should be leading the world in terms of climate ambition," he said. |
Rich Collett-White is Deputy Editor of DeSmog. He joined the organisation in December 2018 as a UK-focused investigative reporter, having previously worked in communications for the climate charity Operation Noah. He is a member of the National Union of Journalists. |

The Lions improve to 12-1 overall and 7-1 in league play. |
LEESBURG — The last time Fairfield beat North Adams in girls basketball, this year's seniors were just being born. |
Fairfield's Faith Donley looks to score during the Lions' win over North Adams on Thursday. |
In Fairfield's case, the Lions seniors have never seen a team or beaten the Green Devils. Ever. |
Despite tallying 20 turnovers on the evening, Fairfield (12-1, 7-1 SHAC) kept its foot on the gas from beginning to end and earned a 62-54 victory over the Green Devils. |
"Today was a pretty big day for us, and we wanted this so bad since we hadn't beaten North Adams since 2004," Fairfield's Braylynn Haines said. "We all work really well together, and one of our goals was to box out since North Adams is an aggressive rebounding team. When we're all boxing out, that's when we're pretty unstoppable." |
Fairfield's boxing out led to transition buckets, which got Emma Fouch into an early rhythm — no bueno for North Adams. |
When Fouch found her shot from distance in the second half, it proved to be a bit more than North Adams could handle down the stretch. |
The senior sniper finished with a game-high 25 points and five rebounds, connecting from distance on four 3's. |
"Emma is always bugging our coaches to open the gym so she can get shots up, but she puts in the work for games like this," Fairfield coach Jeremy McGraw said. "She has no conscience and will shoot it from anywhere, and we have the utmost confidence in her to take and make any shot. She put the team on her back in the second half and I'm proud of her." |
Though Fouch didn't heat up until the second half, Fairfield had little trouble establishing itself early. |
It used the inside presence of Haines and Madison Bronner to jumpstart its offense. Haines pulled down four rebounds in the opening frame, while Bronner scored six points. |
The Lions shot 6-of-10 to open, taking a 13-6 lead over North Adams heading into the second quarter. |
Fairfield managed to push its lead to 17-6 following a steal from Faith Donley, which led to a transition bucket from Fouch. |
However, that's when things got a bit sloppy. |
Turnovers began to mount up, which led to extra possessions that North Adams (11-3, 5-3 SHAC) took full advantage of. |
Sierra Kendall, Keetyn Hupp and Morgan Shupert all connected on shots that sparked a 12-4 run, cutting the lead to 21-18. |

Yet, just as it seemed the Green Devils were going into halftime with all of the momentum, Fouch struck and banked home a triple as the buzzer sounded to put Fairfield ahead 24-19 at halftime. |
"We got to start creating more chances since North Adams started trapping more and forced a lot of turnovers," McGraw said. "They played at a speed we didn't want to go, and that's credit to them. We had to play their game for a little bit before we got back to playing our speed." |
North Adams wasted no time getting going in the third and ripped off a 6-0 run from Kendall, Hupp and Laney Ruckel to take its first lead of the game at 25-24. |
However, Fairfield answered right back to regain the lead and, later leading 30-28, the Lions pieced together an 8-0 run behind Fouch and Bronner for a 38-28 advantage. |
The Green Devils had an answer of their own, knocking down a pair of shots and cutting the deficit to 41-34 heading into the final eight minutes. |
"North Adams always plays with a lot of pressure and we were prepared for it," Fairfield's Peyton Magee said. "I knew I had to keep my poise since the ball was in my hands quite a bit, calm down, and let my teammates do what they do best." |
The Devils continued to hang around and apply pressure, but it was hard for fully get back into the game with shots not falling from all areas. |
Though North Adams managed to keep the deficit to within seven points, Fouch once again spotted up from deep and connected with nylon, pushing the lead to 51-41 late. |

Fairfield's lead later dipped to just six points, but it still proved to be too much of a hole for North Adams to climb out of. |
"North Adams is a really good, and aggressive team. But us hitting shots and trusting each other got us to the end," Haines said. "That's a big part of why we we've been able to win … we all trust one another. Play as a team and win as a team." |
Following Fouch was Bronner with 14 points and five rebounds, while Haines added 11 points and eight rebounds. |
For North Adams, Kenlie Jones finished with 16 points and six rebounds, followed by Ruckel with 12 points. |
Fairfield returns to action on Monday at Peebles, while North Adams rebounds on Saturday, hosting Western.<eot>Not really, when you sign on as a co-borrower, you... - myFICO® Forums - 525 |

Not really, when you sign on as a co-borrower, you are equally responsible for the debt so it will hit your CR. Your scores were in the 8s, how are they now? A 30 day is nowhere near as devastatign as a ninety day in about six months you probably shouldn't see a real difference in your scores. Time will cure all so if you're still mid 7s you shouldn't have a problem and most lenders will overlook the cosigned loan as they realize you may not have been aware that they went past due for such a short period of time.<eot>Providence Field Trips - Providence, RI | Field Trip Directory |
