There have been lots of things going on with BOSW and lots of things coming up. So instead of boring you with lots of details, I'll break it down for you. They are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) On Saturday, March 21 - Bank of the Southwest was awarded by the Mayor and City of Roswell as an outstanding business. This award mainly stems from our recycling and "green" living efforts. You can read about it by copying and pasting this address into your web browser Here's the &lt;a style="font-size: large;" href="http://www.roswell-record.com/main.asp?FromHome=1&amp;amp;TypeID=1&amp;amp;ArticleID=40664&amp;amp;SectionID=49&amp;amp;SubSectionID=112"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also,Don't forget to go paperless and sign up for e-statements at www.bankofsw.com. We have converted 25% of our current customers, lets make it 50%!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2)Healthy Woman Seminar - " A Greenier Community is a Healthier Community"&lt;br /&gt;Bank of the Southwest was honored to be a guest speaker at last nights Healthy Woman Seminar put on Easter New Mexico Medical Center. Our Chairman, James Matteucci, spoke about BOSW efforts in going green. Over the course of the year we have implemented large amounts of shred bins, recycle bins at each work station, paperless statements, and we even give away reusable grocery bags when you open a True Checking account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3)Many of you may have read, heard, or seen the news in regards to the Roswell Boys &amp;amp; Girls Club and its current situation. Bank of the Southwest is now accepting donations at all locations to help get the doors of the Boys and Girls club back open. A paypal account has been set up so you can donate no matter where you are located.

Thought I would share it with you. It has lots of great ideas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile. &lt;br /&gt;2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. &lt;br /&gt;3. Sleep for 7 hours &lt;br /&gt;4. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy. &lt;br /&gt;5. Play more games. &lt;br /&gt;6. Read more books than you did the previous year. &lt;br /&gt;7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives. &lt;br /&gt;8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 &amp; under the age of 6. &lt;br /&gt;9. Dream more while you are awake. &lt;br /&gt;10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants. &lt;br /&gt;11. Drink plenty of water. &lt;br /&gt;12. Try to make at least three people smile each day. &lt;br /&gt;13. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip. &lt;br /&gt;14. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness. &lt;br /&gt;15. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. &lt;br /&gt;16. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime. &lt;br /&gt;17. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar. &lt;br /&gt;18. Smile and laugh more. &lt;br /&gt;19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others. &lt;br /&gt;20. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does. &lt;br /&gt;21. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. &lt;br /&gt;22. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present. &lt;br /&gt;23. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don’t compare your partner with others. &lt;br /&gt;24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. &lt;br /&gt;25. Forgive everyone for everything. &lt;br /&gt;26. What other people think of you is none of your business. &lt;br /&gt;27. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. &lt;br /&gt;28. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch. &lt;br /&gt;29. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful. (I’m trying really hard to do this.) &lt;br /&gt;30. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3813062745233066380-1603024103843790893?l=bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com/feeds/1603024103843790893/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3813062745233066380&amp;postID=1603024103843790893' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3813062745233066380/posts/default/1603024103843790893'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3813062745233066380/posts/default/1603024103843790893'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com/2009/03/ways-to-improve-your-daily-life.html' title='Ways to improve your daily life.'/><author><name>Bank of the Southwest</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1ZhIEnWZxnk/SNgMhxj78iI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/7r1FU9qw944/S220/raw-picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813062745233066380.post-6053329560707840750</id><published>2009-03-04T09:29:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-04T09:34:24.241-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New Wiser Thoughts</title><content type='html'>Hello All-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have today's Wiser Thoughts uploaded to our podcast.

Bank of the Southwest wants to wish you and all your family happy holiday's and great new year! This time of year always brings on good times, family, amazing food, and much more! I can't wait for TBS to play the "Christmas Story" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You know it's true! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lots going on here at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;BOSW&lt;/span&gt;. We recently finished our remodel of Water Street in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Las&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Cruces&lt;/span&gt; and now have an amazing staff there. More pictures of this to follow. Also, check out this link of some of my friends at Captive Indoor Media &lt;a href="http://www.vimeo.com/2536396"&gt;http://www.vimeo.com/2536396&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Isn't it hilarious! They are great people! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Update on Wiser Thoughts: Due to the busy time of year, we will resume "Wiser Thoughts" after the new year.

He can see from her nameplate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack. So hesays, "Ms. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation."Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The frog says $30,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger and that it's OK, he knows the bank manager.Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan.  She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.The frog says, "Sure. I have this." And he produces a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. It's bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager; and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and reports: "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you, and he wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral."She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the heck is this?"So the bank manager looks back at her and says: "It's a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although getting a loan at BOSW has a few more steps, our people would love to help you out!

I really apologize about that. Here is some information I found on the President-Elect Barack Obama and his commitment to our Financial System.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President-Elect Barack Obama yesterday nominated Timothy Geithner as Treasury secretary and Lawrence Summers as head of the National Economic Council. During his press conference announcing his economic team, Obama also pledged to “&lt;strong&gt;do whatever is required to keep the financial system working and capital flowing&lt;/strong&gt;” but declined to specify how and when additional funds under the Troubled Assets Recovery Program should be spent. “I will make further assessments about whether it's necessary to draw down additional TARP money as the administration and the Treasury Secretary Paulson and Bernanke provide me more real-time information,” Obama said. “But I think what's most important for the American people to understand is that we are united in making sure that the financial system works and operates the way it needs to.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BOSW's Commitment to you&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;As mentioned in "Wiser Thoughts" (shameless plug) New Mexico's Economy and the majority of NM community banks are doing very well. Not only are they doing well, but we are confident in our lending and would love to the opportunity to be your banker!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the lighter side "“Vampire movies are everywhere.

Also, they will have an area for electronics. This is really neat because most recycle centers do not accept computers, cell phones,PlayStations, etc. Some bring them out! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stop by the BOSW booth and get some free goodies and show your BOSW love!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;See you there.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;-Josh&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3813062745233066380-2568671107349141602?l=bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com/feeds/2568671107349141602/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3813062745233066380&amp;postID=2568671107349141602' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3813062745233066380/posts/default/2568671107349141602'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3813062745233066380/posts/default/2568671107349141602'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com/2008/10/keep-roswell-beautiful.html' title='Keep Roswell Beautiful'/><author><name>Bank of the Southwest</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1ZhIEnWZxnk/SNgMhxj78iI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/7r1FU9qw944/S220/raw-picture.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1ZhIEnWZxnk/SPdSZ7FxIPI/AAAAAAAAABQ/fUqIlWP9jDw/s72-c/2008.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813062745233066380.post-3536479687753943513</id><published>2008-10-14T09:59:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T10:10:05.199-06:00</updated><title type='text'>FDIC Insurance Temporarily Increased</title><content type='html'>As many of you know the FDIC has made an increase in their insurance until Dec 31, 2008. I have copy and pasted a letter from the official FDIC website that explains a little bit more of what is going on. Here you go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FDIC Deposit Insurance Coverage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency of the United States government that protects against the loss of insured deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. FDIC deposit insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Since the FDIC was established, no depositor has ever lost a single penny of FDIC-insured funds.&lt;br /&gt;FDIC insurance covers funds in deposit accounts, including checking and savings accounts, money market deposit accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs). FDIC insurance does not, however, cover other financial products and services that insured banks may offer, such as stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares, life insurance policies, annuities or municipal securities.&lt;br /&gt;There is no need for depositors to apply for FDIC insurance or even to request it. Coverage is automatic.&lt;br /&gt;To ensure funds are fully protected, depositors should understand their deposit insurance coverage limits. The FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for deposits held in different ownership categories such as single accounts, joint accounts, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and trust accounts. Deposits accounts owned by corporations, partnerships, unincorporated associations, employee benefit plans and government entities also are covered by FDIC insurance.&lt;br /&gt;Basic FDIC Deposit Insurance Coverage Limits*&lt;br /&gt;Single Accounts (owned by one person)&lt;br /&gt;$250,000 per owner**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joint Accounts (two or more persons)&lt;br /&gt;$250,000 per co-owner**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IRAs and certain other retirement accounts&lt;br /&gt;$250,000 per owner&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trust Accounts&lt;br /&gt;$250,000 per owner per beneficiary subject to specific limitations and requirements**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corporation, Partnership and Unincorporated Association Accounts&lt;br /&gt;$250,000 per corporation, partnership or unincorporated association&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Employee Benefit Plan Accounts&lt;br /&gt;$250,000 for the non-contingent, ascertainable interest of each participant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Government Accounts&lt;br /&gt;$250,000 per official custodian&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* These deposit insurance coverage limits refer to the total of all deposits that an accountholder (or accountholders) has at each FDIC-insured bank. The listing above shows only the most common ownership categories that apply to individual and family deposits, and assumes that all FDIC requirements are met.&lt;br /&gt;** The legislation authorizing the increase in deposit insurance coverage limits makes the change effective October 3, 2008, through December 31, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;If you have questions about FDIC coverage limits and requirements, please visit &lt;a href="http://www.myfdicinsurance.gov/"&gt;www.myFDICinsurance.gov&lt;/a&gt;, call toll-free 1-877-ASK-FDIC, or ask a representative at your bank.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3813062745233066380-3536479687753943513?l=bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com/feeds/3536479687753943513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3813062745233066380&amp;postID=3536479687753943513' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3813062745233066380/posts/default/3536479687753943513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3813062745233066380/posts/default/3536479687753943513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com/2008/10/fdic-insurance-temporarily-increased.html' title='FDIC Insurance Temporarily Increased'/><author><name>Bank of the Southwest</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1ZhIEnWZxnk/SNgMhxj78iI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/7r1FU9qw944/S220/raw-picture.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813062745233066380.post-423383959744912585</id><published>2008-10-01T15:45:00.008-06:00</published><updated>2008-10-06T15:10:07.948-06:00</updated><title type='text'>True Checking Part 2</title><content type='html'>Ok...so here is some more information on True Checking. You need to get in here and check out this amazing product. It has made customers some serious bucks, and they saved on ATM fees, paper usage, and even got a cool grocery bag. What's not to like about that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two requirements......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Use your debit card as a credit transaction fifteen times per month. That comes out to once every other day. And at $0 fraud liability, it's the safest way to shop. Now-a-days, it seems like we never have cash on our hands. This why the debit card was invented! Use it ! It is the same as cash and helps you qualify for TRUE Checking and the amazing interest you earn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Perform one of the following: Get a direct deposit here, use our FREE bill pay system, pay a company electronically. You could pay a utility automatically every month, get your pay check sent to your BOSW True Checking account, or simply use our bill pay to assist you in your monthly bills!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this helps you understand our True Checking account.

It is so cool and it really supports the arts and the local artist in Southeastern New Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bank of the Southwest is the corporate sponsor of the event. We also have a team of very talented artist participating in the chalk art festival. They are going to do our logo with a southwestern theme. It should be really interesting !

That's because I'm a programmer and don't really have a lot to say, as I've typed most of anything I might say into the computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, after many cups of coffee and a few sodas, I know blogger's internal layout xml and have created a new skin that more closely resembles our corporate brand. I hope you all enjoy it, as I have spent a fair amount of time on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What lessons have I learned?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Its much easier to write a section than to write the widgets and includes necessary into the code. In otherwords, when possible, let blogger write the widgets and only change id's and class names in the widget code.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;see number 1, no really, it does make life a lot easier.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(shameless plug) Having a true checking account has made this a lot easier too. (Can I have my cheezburger now Josh??)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Seriously though, it may have been a little convoluted, and google's documentation on the subject left quite a bit to be desired; however I now feel that I could adapt any webtemplate to a decent looking blogger template. The best part, it only took me one whole day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So enjoy the skin we're in!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Todd&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3813062745233066380-566322245397556789?l=bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com/feeds/566322245397556789/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3813062745233066380&amp;postID=566322245397556789' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3813062745233066380/posts/default/566322245397556789'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3813062745233066380/posts/default/566322245397556789'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com/2008/09/new-skin.html' title='New Skin'/><author><name>Todd</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11303807465934529320</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uWNuyHIhI7Q/SLgvLfp-5AI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/c7jSdIX1C70/S220/me-300x.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813062745233066380.post-1976474327534585062</id><published>2008-09-22T15:54:00.014-06:00</published><updated>2008-09-23T10:19:06.338-06:00</updated><title type='text'>True Checking Part 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uWNuyHIhI7Q/SNkEPtkpJKI/AAAAAAAAAA0/6_LLI4SKVlI/s1600-h/TrueChecking.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249231508654859426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 257px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uWNuyHIhI7Q/SNkEPtkpJKI/AAAAAAAAAA0/6_LLI4SKVlI/s320/TrueChecking.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Wow...&lt;strong&gt;True Checking&lt;/strong&gt; came out earlier this month and has received lots of attention. This two part series will answer any questions you might have if you are skeptic or not 100% sure about this account for you. If you have any questions please comment back to us and I will be sure to answer them......I will go over two of the stipulations &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In order for this checking account to reward you with one of the highest interest we ask that you be mindful or how you use your account and meet a few stipulations. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1)Enroll in E- Statements. Saves a tree for the enviornment, and it can't get lost or stolen.&lt;/strong&gt; ( Isn't this great! It is awesome for the enviornment, the post office, and well...even our office! Give your postmaster a little break in his crazy day.)&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2)Write five or less checks per month. While checks will never go away, they are becoming harder to use. And at five checks per month , you can still write one if you need to. &lt;/strong&gt;With all the online amenities of today, this is no problem. You can use our free bill pay service to help you with this, or go directly to the company you would like to pay and use their online payment service. Also, many companies offer pay by phone, or &lt;strong&gt;automated payments&lt;/strong&gt; every month ( we will talk more about automated payments in Part 2.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This concludes our Part 1 of 2 series on True Checking. O yeah...did I mention you get &lt;strong&gt;THREE FREE foreign ATM withdrawals per month&lt;/strong&gt;. Now you can avoid that $4 fee at the casino, airport, or gas station. You will also receive a reusable, True Checking grocery bag. The pic is above. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stop by any BOSW location or visit us at &lt;a href="http://www.bankofsw.com/"&gt;www.bankofsw.com&lt;/a&gt; for more info....Talk to you soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uWNuyHIhI7Q/SNkEV67M38I/AAAAAAAAAA8/gLXDdw2HB9s/s1600-h/flyerback1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249231615318351810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uWNuyHIhI7Q/SNkEV67M38I/AAAAAAAAAA8/gLXDdw2HB9s/s320/flyerback1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3813062745233066380-1976474327534585062?l=bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com/feeds/1976474327534585062/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3813062745233066380&amp;postID=1976474327534585062' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3813062745233066380/posts/default/1976474327534585062'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3813062745233066380/posts/default/1976474327534585062'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bankofthesouthwest.blogspot.com/2008/09/true-checking-part-1.html' title='True Checking Part 1'/><author><name>Bank of the Southwest</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1ZhIEnWZxnk/SNgMhxj78iI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/7r1FU9qw944/S220/raw-picture.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uWNuyHIhI7Q/SNkEPtkpJKI/AAAAAAAAAA0/6_LLI4SKVlI/s72-c/TrueChecking.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813062745233066380.post-1087116072312249696</id><published>2008-09-10T15:56:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2008-09-10T15:58:25.071-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Hatch Featured - Hot stuff!</title><content type='html'>&lt;embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://www.cbs.com/thunder/swf30can10cbsnews/rcpHolderCbs-3-4x3.swf" width="425" height="324" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecbsnews%2Ecom%2Fvideo%2Fwatch%2F%3Fid%3D4423356n&amp;amp;partner=cbssports&amp;amp;vert=News&amp;amp;autoPlayVid=false&amp;amp;releaseURL=http://release.theplatform.com/content.select?pid=POgSC2UAdcjkE61yvAInlu3jtEXsptnV&amp;amp;name=cbsPlayer&amp;amp;allowScriptAccess=always&amp;amp;wmode=transparent&amp;amp;embedded=y&amp;amp;scale=noscale&amp;amp;rv=n&amp;amp;salign=tl" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cbs.com/"&gt;Watch CBS Videos Online&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The community of Hatch is famous!!!
