text: I first watched this movie when I was in 7th grade. Not in school, not in a predominately white district in a small town in North Carolina. I saw it at home with my parents. I had known nothing about Malcolm X previous to viewing. My grandparents had a picture of him doing his famous thinking pose next to MLK Jr., who looked calmly ahead, on their wall. I didn't even know that that was Malcolm X. But I was intrigued by the picture – he looked so intelligent. When I thought about Malcolm X, vague terms came to mind. "Radical", "black panther", and "violent" to name a few. That is what I got from school. MLK Jr. was lauded and Malcolm X was ignored, or spoken about in those terms. I watched Malcolm X for the first time, and also for the first time, felt rage over something not related to me. I considered it a gross injustice that he had been painted so poorly in my head; that I had been lied to, or at least mislead; and that he had been assassinated for daring to speak poorly of other people, when he was right. That is not the America I had known. And for the first time I was forced to think about free speech. I was forced to think, heavily, about being black. Following the viewing, I did research of my own. I learned about Fred Hampton, and COINTELPRO. This movie is the first time I critically thought about race issues. And for that reason, other than that it is an amazing movie in its own right, Malcolm X is my favorite Spike Lee movie. And I agree with him completely. Everyone should be forced to watch it.

Hi! As you might have noticed, this blog is blog is about the music that I love and want to share my opinion about to the rest of the world for those who want to see. That is why I think it's time you got to know a little something special.
I want to tell you a little story. The story of how I became interested in rock music and, most of all, how I became such a huge Evanescence fan. It all started about 7-8 years ago, I think. I was looking through my CD's for music to fill my new MP3 player with. I listened to many songs, and decided to listen through one more of the hit single CD's I had collected over the years. And there it was, the strangest thing. I couldn't even read the name of the band, let alone pronounce it, but the song was called Bring Me To Life.
It was like an epiphany to me, something I'd never heard before, and something I'd never thought I would like. But there it was, the sweet and rough notes of Bring Me To Life was flowing through the speakers of my stereo, and I knew I needed to hear more. I remembered seeing the name "Ev-something something" on another CD, and I quickly looked through my other CD's, only to find only one more song, My Immortal. That was it though, I was spellbound, and I knew I had to find more of this wonderful music.
This music has inspired and helped me through a lot of things over the years, both good and bad, and I don't know what or who I would've been without it. You can almost say it brought me back to life.
Today I have all three studio albums, the live album, clothes and accessories all marked with the name of the music I've come to love so much.
"Call my name and save me from the dark"
(Bring Me To Life – Evanescence)
"I've held your hand through all of these years but you still have all of me"
(My Immortal – Evanescence)

I thought there would be plenty of religious celebrations on January 1st. There doesn't seem to be. The Catholics used to celebrate the Circumcision of Christ, but now it is a holy day of obligation to celebrate Mary as Mother of God. I also read something about it being a bit of penance for the pagan festivities of the night before. But I couldn't find anything delicious to eat.
But yesterday was Shogatsu, Shinto New Years. In Japan people woke up and ate a soup called Ozoni. It is prepared differently based on where you come from and I read from a number of sources that you can pinpoint a person's village based on how they eat their soup. The most important, and defining ingredient seems to be mochi, a steamy sticky Japanese rice cake. There are recipes all over the internet if you google it.
I really like the idea of soup on the first day of the year. For us it's almost always a cold, (hopefully snowy) day to cuddle up and be warm so soup is the perfect meal. Plus there is something simple and unassuming about soup which makes room for all the other thoughts and pieces that the new year's day brings.
Twitter was awash in soup yesterday. Is a new year's day soup a thing? I know the Persians make one for Norouz in March that sounds delicious and that I plan on making, but seriously, is it? Do you, dear Reader (hi mom!) make soup on New Years Day? This is the fourth New Years Day that C and I have spent on our own terms and they seem to involve pancakes for brunch (except last year when I attempted a more elaborate brunch which while good isn't something I'll do again) and soup for supper. The January 1 in Paris we ate an onion soup, which we ate an awful lot while we were in Paris, not because it was authentically French but because we were authentically poor ("ahh, when we were poor in Paris" we say now). Last year I made harira (Ottolenghi's recipe, again. Really I should just turn this into an Ottolenghi love in). Anyways.
So I had planned to make the actual Shinto soup onizo. But I realised early that the spirit of the religious festival may sometimes be more important that the letter. We got back from Vienna on the 30th and the shops closed early so there wasn't much time to stock up on groceries for the weekend. Getting dashi and odd fish stick things proved impossible. My local shops are great but they are more Turkish than Japanese and I haven't got a pantry full of Japanese staples. So instead of making the perfect Japanese Shinto new years soup to honour the past, I made Moro's Chestnut and chorizo soup, to honour the day.
And it was delicious and you should make it too.
4 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion
1 carrot
1 celery stick
2 cooking chorizo sausages
Throw these into the food processor and chop them up.
Warm your soup pot and add the olive oil. Add the food processor contents and let fry slowly and gently, caramelising, for twenty minutes until the whole kitchen smells divine.
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp thyme leaves (supposed to be fresh but I used dried)
1 dried red chilli crumbled
Stir and let cook for two minutes.
Add Half a 400ml can of tomatoes, roughly chopped
Stir nicely together then add
400g cooked peeled chestnuts, chopped (this is two packages of the vacuum packed ones you can get at the store)
A big pinch of saffron threads, infused in 3-4 tbsp boiling water
750 ml water
Simmer for 10-15 minutes, then take off the heat and mash all the little chestnut bits with a potato masher until it is a smoother, but still rustic, texture. Season to taste with salt and pepper and a drop or two of sherry vinegar.
We ate it (almost all) with yogurt flatbread and finished it up with a lemon cake and clementine confit.

Hurricane season begins early and rumbles all summer long, well into September. Often people's lives reflect the weather and The Hurricane Sisters is just such a story.
Once again New York Times bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank takes us deep into the heart of her magical South Carolina Lowcountry on a tumultuous journey filled with longings, disappointments, and, finally, a road toward happiness that is hard earned. There we meet three generations of women buried in secrets. The determined matriarch, Maisie Pringle, at eighty, is a force to be reckoned with because she will have the final word on everything, especially when she's dead wrong. Her daughter, Liz, is caught up in the classic maelstrom of being middle-age and in an emotionally demanding career that will eventually open all their eyes to a terrible truth. And Liz's beautiful twenty-something daughter, Ashley, whose dreamy ambitions of her unlikely future keeps them all at odds.
Luckily for Ashley, her wonderful older brother, Ivy, is her fierce champion but he can only do so much from San Francisco where he resides with his partner. And Mary Beth, her dearest friend, tries to have her back but even she can't talk headstrong Ashley out of a relationship with an ambitious politician who seems slightly too old for her.
Actually, Ashley and Mary Beth have yet to launch themselves into solvency. Their prospects seem bleak. So while they wait for the world to discover them and deliver them from a ramen-based existence, they placate themselves with a hare-brained scheme to make money but one that threatens to land them in huge trouble with the authorities.
So where is Clayton, Liz's husband? He seems more distracted than usual. Ashley desperately needs her father's love and attention but what kind of a parent can he be to Ashley with one foot in Manhattan and the other one planted in indiscretion? And Liz, who's an expert in the field of troubled domestic life, refuses to acknowledge Ashley's precarious situation. Who's in charge of this family? The wake-up call is about to arrive.
The Lowcountry has endured its share of war and bloodshed like the rest of the South, but this storm season we watch Maisie, Liz, Ashley, and Mary Beth deal with challenges that demand they face the truth about themselves. After a terrible confrontation they are forced to rise to forgiveness, but can they establish a new order for the future of them all?
Frank, with her hallmark scintillating wit and crisp insight, captures how a complex family of disparate characters and their close friends can overcome anything through the power of love and reconciliation. This is the often hilarious, sometimes sobering, but always entertaining story of how these unforgettable women became The Hurricane Sisters.

It's only January, but the weather outside is already as frightful as the thought of James Harrison plowing over Ben Roethlisberger in the event that the Patriots and the Steelers play each other in the upcoming AFC Championship. As I write this, the East Coast is currently being smacked around by something called the Bomb Cyclone.
So, at this point most of you are learning what I figured out years ago — outside is for suckers. But those of you who insist on getting exercise and the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin D from the sun likely have no idea what to do with yourselves as you're stuck indoors for what's shaping up to be a pretty harsh winter. The answer is simple — video games.
Playing video games gives you the illusion of doing something meaningful with your life, while sitting around pants-less in the toasty, warm house. I've taken the liberty of making a short list of video games you might want to get into as the temperature continues to drop.
Madden NFL '18
It will be tough for you to buy this game because there is a photo of Tom Brady on the cover. I was originally happy to see him there because the Madden coverboy usually suffers a season-ending injury. But, alas, this fair-haired sonofabitch is still walking around. This is the long-reigning king of sports games, and this year it is even more awesome thanks to a well-developed story mode. Also, for fun, I like to play as the Cleveland Browns and change all the players' names to things like: A. Loser, Terry Bull or, simply, Dumb Ass.
Assassin's Creed Origins
This sequel in the AC franchise transports you to Egypt and gives you the chance to explore a huge, open world. Sure, there's a story — a pretty good one, in fact — but you could spend five snow days within this game, and there'd still be plenty of land to explore. This game is immersive and addicting and one of the best in the franchise; certainly, the best to hit next-generation platforms.
If you're stuck inside playing video games, it's easy to become lonely. But thanks to Overwatch, the hottest massive multiplayer game on the market, you can make friends easily. This title has taken online first-person shooters to another level in terms of gameplay and content. It's one of the few well-done shooters that has been Rated T (teen). Another plus is that this game contains a large number of positive female characters, a trait lacking in a lot of video games. And if you need more proof that it's a perfect winter game, it's made by Blizzard Entertainment.

5 November 2009
Oliver Pugh
Thieves have stolen hundreds of pounds that was destined for our injured war heroes – right from under the nose of Sir Winston Churchill.
The shameful theft allegedly took place on Saturday afternoon, as two men distracted staff at a war museum while they pilfered the charity money.
Winston Churchill's Britain at War Experience, on Tooley Street, had even nailed the poppy box down, but the pair still managed to prize it free.
Manager John Welsh said: "With people dying now in the ongoing situations in Afghanistan and Iraq I think it is terrible that this type of thing is going on."
The museum estimates that the light-fingered pair made off with more than £200, as children visiting the museum over half term had managed to fill the pot and staff were ready to ask for an empty replacement.
A spokesman for the Royal British Legion said this kind of theft was very rare.
"It's such a shame," he said. "I am sure Sir Winston Churchill would be turning in his grave."
But museum founder Don Robinson has already stumped up £100 of his own money, to get the new collection kick started.
The two men went into the museum at around 3.45pm on Saturday October 31 and asked for directions to the 'travel information'. Museum cashier Tracy Gordon, 26, from Rotherhithe, said she thought the pair were drunks.
"The smell [of alcohol] was that bad it turned my stomach right the way over," she said.
As Tracy directed them to London Bridge, she said: "Something just didn't feel right." So as the two started to leave she went round to follow them and noticed the poppy box had been taken.
The two men are described as white, wearing jeans, unshaven and unwashed. One was around 5'8″, wearing a black jacket, with brown fair hair, and the other was shorter with short black hair.
Southwark Police have confirmed to the 'News' they are now investigating the incident.

Mumbai :-The box office success of Sultan — the film's earnings are now inching towards the Rs 200-crore mark, having brought in Rs 195.5 crore on its sixth day in the theatres — may have cemented Salman Khan's number one position in the film industry.
While that is great news for the star, it may have unintended consequences for the younger crop of actors in Bollywood — including Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Arjun Kapoor, Sushant Singh Rajput and Aditya Roy Kapur.
How so?
To answer that question we need to look at an unwritten 'rule' in Bollywood that dictates — any actor who hopes to seize the top crown, needs to do by the age of 30 (or at the most, in his very early 30s).
Let's look at how the rule has played out in the past: Dilip Kumar was only 25 years old when he shot to prominence with Jugnu and by the time he was 28, he was the king of all he purveyed. Similarly, a young Rajesh Khanna burst through to superstardom at the age of 27; by 32, his career had seen unprecedented heights and was about to fizzle out.
Amitabh Bachchan was a bit of a late starter — he got his first monster hit in Zanjeer, when he was 31. By the time Bachchan was 33, there wasn't a rival in sight.
Salman himself had his first blockbuster in Maine Pyar Kiyawhen he was 24. This was in 1989. By the time Salman was 26, he had consolidated his position with back-to-back hits like Baaghi, Saajan, Sanam Bewafa. And the stupendous success of Hum Aapke Hain Koun happened when Salman was only 29.
The other major superstar of the '90s — Shah Rukh Khan — had his Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge moment within the '30' deadline. And he had preceded DDLJ with other hits, like Baazigar, and followed it up with Kuch Kuch Hota, to name just a few.
Now let's look at some other extremely successful actors — with huge hits to their credit — who were never declared "number one" because their best phase came a little later in the day:
Dharmendra had been giving hits since Phool aur Patthar in 1964 but by the time he peaked with back to back hits in 1973-74, at the age of 38, Amitabh Bachchan had inherited the crown from Rajesh Khanna. And let's not forget that Dharmendra shared credit for Bachchan's biggest hit — Sholay.
Similarly, Aamir Khan had sporadic hits through the '90s but had a string of phenomenal successes only from 2006 — when he was already 41 — and therefore (despite the fact that his PK and 3 Idiots had record-breaking box office collections; PK is still on top of the list of highest grossing Bollywod films) he has never been hailed as "number one".
What this means is that the entire lot of Gen Next stars mentioned earlier have very little time to stake their claim to the "throne".
The youngest among them were born in 1986-87 and already 29-30 years old, while Ranbir, at the age of 34, is the oldest. And with Salman's box office supremacy going strong — and seeming unshakeable until at least 2020 (this is even if his next few films underperform) — the earliest you'll see him "vacate" the top spot would be by the time the newer actors are already 33-35 years old.
With Bollywood precedent proving that an actor needs to establish his superstar credentials fairly early on, it's anyone's guess on who will "take over" from Salman. We're putting our money on a much younger star, who hasn't been launched yet.
Unless, of course, one of the younger stars can emulate Salman levels of success while the superstar himself is unable to match his Sultan magic.
In this highly unpredictable industry, that's a possibility — but keeping the current context in mind, it seems a very unlikely scenario.

I'm a night owl. Most evenings I stay up to the way, way past my bedtime. Some nights I sit on the couch scrolling through Youtube, nothing but the blue glow of the TV to keep me company. Others, I lay in bed staring at the ceiling fan whirling around, wondering what exactly I'm doing with my life. I'm starting to think I suffer from anxiety. But, that's beside the point.
About a week ago I had one of these 'staring at the fan' nights. It was a Tuesday. Everything about Tuesday sucks, and I was just trying to fall asleep. That's when I heard a thump. Very clearly, it was a thump. What kind of thump? I didn't know. But I knew the sound had occurred nearby. It came from the living room.
Okay, I thought. Just the cat messing around. But, that wasn't right. I felt the warm little lump of fur nestled beside me. He was wedged comfortably between me and my wife. And there it was again. Another thumb. Again from the living room. But this time the thumb had a companion, a rattle of glass.
Suddenly, a bullhorn was blasting. The burglar alarm.
I jumped out of bed and crept into the living room. I'll be honest, my wife led the way. We were met by darkness and another thumb…
Turns out, it was our pet rabbit. She was out of her water and very keen on letting us know. The plexiglass of her hutch rattled enough to set off our alarm. It's not a great story, I know, but it got me thinking about suspense.
Suspense is an amazing way to keep your reader engaged and keep them reading! Don't believe me? You're still reading, right?
Suspense- What it is, and what it's not.
Let's get one thing straight, Suspense is not synonymous with horror, thrillers., or mysteries. Suspense is a pivotal aspect of all storytelling. Suspense drives stories, all stories. Whether your writing a romantic comedy or an epic fantasy, Suspense is a required ingredient of every genre.
Think of it as salt. Every recipe worth its salt… calls for salt (God, that was dumb). For real though, you wouldn't think you need salt to bake a cake, but you know what? You need salt to bake a cake. And you need suspense to write a decent romance. Suspense is the salt of your literary spice rack.
Now let's get to the meat and potatoes of this literary necessity. Suspense is…
Your Story Question
You ever watch old reruns of The Dukes Hazzard? It was this show about two cousins that drove around in a '69 Dodge Charger with a questionable paint job. The premise was simple- find ways to force the Duke boys to jump over hazards in their suped-up Dodge. Think small ravines or a truck carrying hay bales.
Every time they were about to make a jump the frame would freeze. The car was left hanging in the air and the narrator, Waylon Jennings, would come on and say something like:
"Long about now, I bet them Duke boys are wishing they had parachutes."
Then they'd cut to commercial. And you'd watch all those damn commercials. Even the super long ones that started with, "Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with Mesothelioma?"
Why? Because of the suspense! What if the Duke boys didn't make that jump? I mean, it's never happened before, but what if it happened this time? And you missed it?
That's about the most basic example of a story question I can think of. A question you pose at the beginning of your story like- who murdered the elderly museum curator, and why?
Or, will the Duke boys finally meet their firey doom?
A good story question will keep your reader turning pages. They'll have to know the answer. It's human nature.
Use Dramatic Irony
This is the secret that every horror movie director knows. Think of the last slasher movie you saw. The scene usually goes something like this- the two teenage lovers sneak off to a secluded space to get frisky. They think they're alone, but the audience knows otherwise. We've already seen the masked killer creeping around in the darkness. The teenagers are too amorous to notice anything besides each other as the killer sidles up to them. Meanwhile, we're in the audience screaming:
That's dramatic irony. When the audience knows something that the characters don't. And it's an excellent way to build suspense.
Create a Ticking Clock
Ticking clocks are a common plot device. You see them in movies all the time, and for one reason. They work. Ticking clocks usually come in the final act of a story. The writer will set up a set of terrible consequences. If the hero doesn't achieve their goal in a certain time frame disaster strikes. This increases the pace and ratchets the tension of the final act.
There are plenty of examples of this in literature and film. Most of the time the writer, or director will insert an actual ticking clock. A great example comes from a movie I watched endlessly as a child. The classic James Bond film Goldfinger.
In Goldfinger, the titular character's goal is to irradiate all the gold in Fort Knox with an atomic bomb. The final scene sees Bond in a life or death battle with Goldfinger's muscle Oddjob.
We see the timer on the bomb slowly click down to catastrophe. Of course, Bond cuts the right wire with a mere seven seconds left, as the timer reads 0:07.
Setting & Imagery
If you want your reader to feel unsettled start with your setting, and the imagery you use to describe it. Personally, I've always been bad at this, but you know who kicks ass at writing suspenseful settings? Edgar Allan Poe. Want an example? Thumb through the pages of one of my favorite short stories, The Cask of Amontillado.
"We had passed through long walls of piled skeletons, with casks and puncheons intermingling, into the innermost recesses of the catacombs."
Skeletons, catacombs and a feeling of impending doom. As Montresor lures Fortunato into his tomb the setting becomes more foreboding. Which brings us to our next point.
Suspense is best when it's hinted at early. That's where foreshadowing comes in. There are a number of clever ways to hint to your reader that all is not right, during the exposition of your story. Let's take another look at how Poe describes our poor Fortunato:
"The man wore motley. He had on a tight-fitting, parti-striped dress, and his head was surmounted by the conical cap and bells."
He's literally dressed as a clown. And our protagonist, Montresor wears, "a mask of black silk and drawing a roquelaire closely about my person." He is the embodiment of death, foreshadowing, the fool, Fortunato's imminent demise. Poe really knows what he's doing.
So, there are a few words on suspense.
Oh, wait. One more thing.
Do you want to know the ultimate secret to becoming a successful writer?
You do!
Great! Come back next week.
I'll tell you then.

Choose a beard style that fits your face shape. There are many ways to style and shape your beard, but a lot of the choice will depend on your face, and your personal sense of style. If it looks good to you, go for it. But in general, if you have full cheeks, plan on keeping it shorter on the sides. If you have a narrow face, you can keep some length to fill it out.
Great article…I've followed your posts, Good work, I've been growing out my beard for about a month now my upper face cheek hair doesn't grow as my lower jaw and under, Really thick on my jaw and under but barely anything on my upper face, Really feel like growing out jus a very small beard just want it to grow thicker on top, any recommendations on oils?
Quality Construction: This model is clearly one that was designed with longevity in mind—you can tell by just looking at it. Paired with its two-year warranty, you can rest assured that this model will serve you for the long haul.
Tea Tree Beard Oil is designed to both be lightweight and to keep your beard conditioned and shiny. It won't weight down your beard or feel greasy, and what's left behind instead is itss refreshing, breath-of-crisp-air fragrance. It's a scent that you can wear any day, all day.
While many brands offer only a single beard oil scent, Beardilizer have a whole range of unique smells, including Gentleman Sandalwood, Ol' Cowboy Leather and Choco Swag. Our favourite is Sweet Pipe Tobacco, which smells like you've taken a pinch of your granddad's personal baccy blend and smeared it all over your mush. It's also great for moisturising and will do wonders for your hands as well as your face fuzz.
Use your trimmer and beard shaping tool to shave the outline of the style you have chosen. This is a good starting point because it gives you a good guideline to follow during the rest of the grooming process.
When we talk of the best beard trimmer for shaping, we basically count the features that are offered with the product and also the price of the same. So let's below read the specifications that this particular product brings in the market.
You could try http://themodcabin.com/product/unscented-essential-beard-balm-conditioner/. It's all natural, and there's no scent added. It's got a very simple list of ingredients, so you know what you're putting on your face and beard. Also, keep in mind that it's normal for your hair to grow in at slightly different rates. It's important to exfoliate your face gently to remove dead skin cells and to help unclog your pores so that your facial hair isn't impeded when it's growing out. Also avoid shampoos and harsh chemicals when you wash your face and beard. I'd recommend using an all natural, unscented soap such as http://themodcabin.com/product/essential-soap-unscented/, or our cleansing oil (which does have some essential oils in it) http://themodcabin.com/product/cleansing-oil/. The cleansing oil is very gentle and won't strip your face and beard of their natural lipid layer, which will help keep your skin and facial hair healthy and moisturized.
Once you've defined your cheek line, trim downwards, starting at the top of your cheek. Take your time. The hair on your cheeks doesn't grow back as quickly as it does on your neck, so moderation – once again – is important.
The first ingredients in your recipe are your carrier oils. Basically, mix and match your oils to get about 1oz's worth (you can always do more or less as desired; I have 1oz bottles, so that's how much I made). In this first recipe I measured out half an ounce each of jojoba oil and sweet almond oil. You could also simply use a single carrier oil rather than mixing. Again, it's about scent and the health benefits accrued, as well as what feels best on your skin. Experiment with various combinations of carrier oils to find what you like best.
It might be a microscopic difference, but electric trimmers and razors give you a completely different shave. An electric trimmer will leave your ends with a sharper finish, which can lead to a lot of irritation and itchiness. This can also lead to split ends. Since the separation of hair is so sharp, it splits your hair and leads to more split ends. Whereas when you trim your edges with a razor instead, it still cleans up that line but also ruffles the ends which promote more natural growth of your hair follicles.
By the way, if you want a specific formula for shaving and shaping your beard, go take a look at our guide. We cover everything from sensitive skin, to heavy hair growth, and much more: http://www.groominglounge.com/shaving-cocktails-beard-type
Handmade wooden combs on the other hand is more of a style then a need. They are formed from one solid block of wood or two pieces jointed together, and have their teeth sawed into them, then sanded down to be nice and smooth. They are going to cost more money, and they are going to be a special order item from a local wood worker. Expect to pay $75 and up for quality crafted item such a wood comb. The only place I know that has one always listed is Offerman's Wood Shop. Its called a "Mustache Comb," but I would definitely recommend it for someone with a long beard…also who wouldn't want a product made by Nick Offerman's shop?
We have created the perfect balance between the two products with our Woodland Harmony Beard Balm. It has all the nourishing properties of beard oil given by the powerful carrier oils (coconut oil, peach kernel oil, palm oil) and the natural butters (cocoa butter and avocado butter).
If you think these features might be important to you, whether now or at some point in the future, then you may want to purchase a model that either comes with such attachments and features, or is compatible with them.
I have been growing a full beard and keeping a waxed mustache for several years but let it grow since May 2015. I am pleased with the look for my age now 70 last January. I am a long slow distance runner with long hair (Dreaded to my waist). I have added Horsetail Fern in capsules to my daily diet
Whether you're maintaining a touch of stubble of a great beard, the Philips Norelco Trimmer 7200 delivers. You'll have less mess when you've finished thanks to its integrated vacuum system, while it has long-lasting cordless power.
Schneidman recommends putting on beard oil first thing in the morning after showering or cleansing. "This way, your hair follicles and pores are open and can easily absorb the oil," he adds. "Caring for skin, particularly cleansing and moisturization, is crucial, especially if you live in a cold or dry climate. We tend to think 'more is better,' but just a few drops of most things is plenty."
Finally, when it comes to maintaining your goatee, you are going to want to trim it regularly to maintain the trademark clean edges goatees are known for. It's quite the commitment, but it's a good idea to shave your goatee's edges every day.
Want to learn how to apply beard balm like a boss? Not sure what beard balm is? For starters, beard balm is a control/styling product for your beard that is made up of waxes, butters, and oils. It's a cross between beard oil and mustache wax. It can go by a couple of other names including beard wax and beard butter.
Easy Handling– The best beard trimmer for men is the one which allows easy handling and convenient process of operation. The mechanism should be easy to understand, so that even if the product has wide assortments in the attachments, the user shall understand the use of each and every attachment that comes up with the product. While at the same time, the size of the product shall be compact enough to be packed and carried to different locations.
In a lot of ways, this version of Honest Amish beard balm is similar to the other, in that it's US-made with natural ingredients. However, one of the key difference is that it's designed to give you better control over your unruly beast of a beard.
This one is a Remington, a name that is the brainchild of cordless and rechargeable shavers. The brand is popular for introducing a large number of reasonably priced electric shavers into the market. The F5-5800 comes with an intercept shaving technology that helps to cut the long beard before giving a final close shave. This makes it the best beard trimmer for long beards. We get you a detailed review of the product.
Healthy pores allow for hair to grow faster and more naturally, and this can be accomplished through exfoliation. The Real Shaving Co. makes a great, affordable face scrub that purges dead skin cells and impurities. It's designed to be used prior to shaving for optimum smooth shave results and to reduce ingrown hairs.
Now that you've chosen your go-to beard oil, it's time to take it for a spin. And, really, there's not a lot to applying beard oil – put a couple of drops of it in the palm of your hand, then use your fingers to gently rub it on and inside of your beard.
Make sure that you brush off any excess hair that might be in the blades before you begin. Once the oil has saturated the blades, wipe them down, making sure the blades are dry on top so your hair doesn't stick.
Most new beardsmen trim the neckline too high. The ideal location for the line is where the neck meets the head.So whatever your beard area is parallel with the ground, do not trim; whatever is parallel with the world infront of you, then it's ok to trim.
There are plenty of reasons why the five beard trimmers reviewed above are on our 'best of' list for 2018. We took into account a lot of factors: each trimmer's versatility, ease of use, the number of (useful) attachments, whether it was good for both wet and dry shaving, and durability.

Many organizations have taken up custom badges to market their brands at events like trade shows, sports competitions, conferences and other professional gatherings. Simple laminates with attendees' names are now a thing of the past, and designs are getting bolder. If you're looking to make custom badges for any particular event, the following are important ideas to bear in mind so as to achieve the desired effect.
It starts with branding
The most important point to remember is that you want your brand to be recognized instantly and from a distance. This means that the badge design should follow in the footsteps of your corporate branding, including logo, corporate colours and images among others. Remember that you have limited space to make an impression. Using non-textual communicators like brand colours can help with this.
Introduce colour coding to distinguish ranks
Instead of including textual information about an attendee's access levels/identity title, try colour coding the badges in order to distinguish one from another. For instance, you can use typeface/background colours to distinguish VIP guests, senior staff, junior staff, attendees, vendors etc. Those in charge of security and logistics will instantly know by looking at the badge who is allowed to go where, and this makes for easier coordination throughout the event.
Name details go front and centre
The reason behind most events is to allow people to meet and socialize with one another, as well as learn about new products. To facilitate this, attendees' names should be put in bold typeface right at the front. Any other information should be worked into the remaining space: social signals, company name and logo, sponsorships, schedules etc. If there is insufficient room, consider dispensing with non-essential information – you can use colour and images to distinguish a brand while allowing room for vital information to be printed.
Security codes can do more than just one thing
You can use RFID chips, QR codes and NFC features for more than just security today. Use these unique markers on your badge to improve social connectivity between attendees and hence increase brand awareness on social platforms. For example QR codes embedded into custom badges can direct event attendees to videos about the organization or products when scanned on their phones. These simple add-ons can help you communicate more to your attendees without affecting the design of your badge.
Utilize hashtags to create a buzz
Events are an opportunity for socialization, which extends beyond one-on-one interaction to online relationships after the event. Therefore, way before the event, you can set up a hashtag to raise awareness and buss around the event. Include the hashtag and social profile details somewhere on the custom badge if space allows, and encourage attendees to post their real-time experiences of the event online in various social profiles.Share

[Issue 11 / November 2014]
Be calm, Graham. Calm down. Take three deep breaths.
The policeman seems to be staring directly at me as he walks the length of the bridge. Through all the CCTV cameras around I must look like a suspicious character, a dispensable old oddball. I've seen on the news they have been stopping people, pedestrians shortlisted by some geek sitting in a room watching footage all day. Perhaps just for spite he shortlists anyone who does not fit in: people like me.
Three Deep Breaths…
I walk down the millennium bridge, the third deep breath catching the fragrance of roasted peanuts cooking in chocolate. Sure enough, a few paces ahead the snack seller with his tiny cart–some way to get by! I look back as the Kevlar and walkie-talkie clad policeman walks past me. I watch him walk ahead and then focus onwards towards Saint Paul's Cathedral. It looks so far away.
Open-mouthed, an old man completely cognisant of his own state, 'Hahh!' I go whispering into the air.
The news about CCTVs has had me worried. I am a British citizen. It is stupid. I needn't bother. Right? Nothing, nothing. I just cannot be bothered. They can't do anything to me. Can they? No, no, spare me the bother!
'Oh! Hi. Hello!' I say to this little girl who has smiled at me and said hi. She asks me to take a picture of her and her friend. There are not many helpful souls around, I guess. I take the camera phone from them and ask them what background they prefer.
'Err… Umm… I don't know.' She turns her head to look behind her and decides that the part that stretches from the Tower Bridge to the tallest building would be nice. I comply politely. Tourists in London. What a delight they are. Young kids discovering this melting pot of culture, life and the circus of it all.
'I will take three pictures.' I tell them where they might want to look as I capture their moment of adventure and friendship in a new city. I hand the camera back to the girl, smiling and delighted to hear, 'Thank You.'
'You're welcome, dearies,' I bid them, then bow subtly and raise my flat cap.
I move on, walking towards St. Paul's. I will miss the fragrance, oh, the chocolate peanuts cooking in that tiny cart. I mustn't give in to tempting treats. My promise to Elena must stand. I walk on. Cruise boats full of tourists vanish under the bridge and reappear on the other side. Excited faces wave and smile at me, yes, and at the other walkers who all wave and smile back in unison to provoke a loud cheer from the tourists. How wonderful to be out.
The summer, year after year, within this short window of evening hours makes possible, perhaps contrasting the uncomfortable spike in temperature common of boiling hot afternoons and the resultant echoing announcements warning against a heat wave, an evening of soft, infinite melody, salty and sweet with every gush n' wave of breeze blowing off the water. It is that time now. The setting sun has lost the ferocity that had warmed my neck and now the wind tickles cool, combing my unruly grey mess of hair that wisps beyond the flat cap's jurisdiction as I take this long daily walk along the Thames to the Tower of London.
I reach the fort walls to find a couple, free from their corporate duties, the man in a formal grey suit and the lady in a formal black dress, something that looks like… erm… yes… a formal black maxi, the same as Elena wore at our 30th anniversary. I remember, yes, that is what the dress is called. The man has a camera phone in one hand and with the other he is supporting the small of his darling's tender back. He has failed at attempts to take a picture of the both of them with some of the romantic surroundings in the background. He's spotted and approaches me. It must be my face. It is an approachable face, a function of age, perhaps. I am not considered middle-aged anymore. What is that word? Innocuous—yes. That is what I must seem: an old man in a flat cap, carrying a heavy looking ancient camera around his neck. I do hate all this weight around my neck. I wish my shoulders were still broader. I could do with hanging the camera sideways. Now, it just keeps slipping off my shoulder, bangs against my chest when I move my tall, bulky and cumbersome body. Oh! Gentle giant, am I? Perhaps that is why.
Anyway, this camera, I have tried, believe me, hanging this ruddy companion on my shoulder but being the royal pain in the arse that the camera is, longing to hang around my neck, worsening my neck pain, like my prodigal petulant child, the reason for my preoccupation and my tan. Elena loved the tan. No complaints. Nothing to complain about at all. Elena. A smile finds its way to my lips. Whatever brings the thought of Elena is welcome—even the corporate clowns, who have come out to enjoy all this, loitering aimlessly for a change and groping their partners' backs and arses in public, peering into each other's eyes, mumbling, whispering decent and indecent romantic somethings. Serves them right to get a picture done by me, for free.
I can see her in the distance now as I cross the tower bridge. No, sorry, I couldn't have possibly seen her in the distance. The bridge arches so. I saw her when I was no more than fifteen steps away from her, past the middle point of the bridge, past the entry to the Tower Bridge museum, past the third of the four arches on the bridge.
She instantly reminds me of a cherry blossom tree in full bloom with all of its light pink flowers in the sunshine. Tall, beautiful and dressed in light pink with bright red lipstick on, busy looking for something, some-one perhaps. I know who and what she is searching for and that I can help her. With certainty that she will ask for my help as I stride past, casually making innocuous eye contact, I walk on. Innocuous. She looks at me. I pause and wait for her to walk towards me. She does. Her lips with that glossy red colour on them part to pose the question that I interject.
'Hey! You want me to? Right?'
'Hi! Yes, but…'
'No problem. That is no problem. I can…'
'Yes. But I… do… you. You… do… me… Okay?' She does not want it to be a favour. Rather, a quid pro quo.
'That's fine. That's okay.' I sense that she is a little nervous. What about?
'You first…' She wants to make the payment upfront. There is something naive and sincere about her. She seems a delightful creature. I smile.
'Okay!' She points a finger toward my camera. I shake my head and hand her my phone, asking her to use it to take pictures. 'Oh,' she says nodding, 'sure, sure.'
The camera phone her generation is supposed to be really good with did not help her. She took about twelve, thirteen shots of me in a style typical of her day and age, habituated to the kind of waste that the technology accommodates so well, hoping that in volume she would find at least one good shot. I decide I need to give her a quick tutorial on photography. She learns about light source, object placement and composition before I tell her that her mediocre attempts are actually good and will do for me. It is her turn now.
I take her camera phone which she was juggling about to get a good picture of herself earlier. I ask her to make a few simple gestures, to walk about a little and rest her elbows on the ledge, to tilt her head slightly, to put a hand on her forehead just above the hairline, like a half-hearted salute. Awkward at first, she jumps into action with a flash of trustful understanding. I take about five shots and hand the phone back to her. She is happy. These pictures, I want to tell her, will serve better than any mirror. She will discover that soon enough, anyway. So I remain mum. She cannot thank me enough. She fumbles about with her gratitude and tells me that it was a pleasure to meet me. She tells me that I look so 'unfamiliar', not like anyone she has met. So trusty! I laugh and tell her, in more suitable words, what she meant to say. She smiles. I wish her well and walk on.
I get to the end of the bridge, cross the road and turn back towards the Tower of London. The sunset is beautiful. Mid-way on the bridge I stop and watch a young couple kissing. The girl is sitting on the ledge and the boy is standing next to her. They finally hand over their camera to a professional photographer who was, till then, busily capturing the sunset, his camera set up on a tripod.
Onwards, I see an Indian-Asian couple walking up the bridge, perhaps newly-wed, the bride having just stepped fresh off the plane all excited about getting a picture with the Tower Bridge and, yes, well, her husband as well. 'I saw that place where we will get a good picture,' she tells her husband, adding, 'And God! Ask someone who at least looks like a photographer. The last guy made me look fat.' He looks at her head-to-toe and seems struck by the sudden realisation that it wasn't the photographer's fault. I see him gulp hard and say, 'Yea, yea!' I patronise the boy with a half-smile, shaking my head. He smiles back, perhaps feeling better discovering humour in his situation.
Just a few more moments of peace, I tell myself. After another five-ten minutes of walk, glancing around for others who could use my help, I find myself off the Tower Bridge, feeling melancholic. I know what comes next. The paranoia and then, just like that, I look at the bulky CCTV camera perched on the fat metallic pole ahead of me, staring me right in the face. I freeze momentarily, shudder and then walk on.
There is a tap on my shoulder. 'Excuse me, Sir! May I see some identification?' the policeman says.
I fumble in my pockets, shaking from head to toe trying to recall my son's phone number and the country code for Spain. I had it in one of my pocket notebooks somewhere. I can feel my heart flutter with its feeble attempts at supplying more oxygen to my muscles. My heart is as senile as I am. One leg of the physical exertion is over. Heart, be the king of delayed reactions. Oh!
I wish the policeman well and wish he hadn't been full of so many questions and counter-questions. Yes, it felt good after so many years but frankly my body wasn't ready to take that kind of conversational pounding, and now there is this royal staircase to climb.
'Imagine, Elena, I used to carry you up the stairs for my romantically drenched frivolities.'
Sigh! The sound of breathing at this late hour, my own laboured breath bouncing and echoing about the staircase, is all I can hear. I never get used to it. Every day it scares me, unknowingly creeps into my ears and then the familiarity of it dawns. During the day I forget about the loneliness and while climbing this set of stairs I am reminded again–not just of this sound being my constant companion–but of Elena's last breath as well. How deathly quiet in that hospital room where she'd lain connected to all those tubes and machines. Amongst the blips and beeps that my ears grew trained to ignore, I heard only the sound of her breathing, my lifelong aural tonic. I had fallen asleep sitting next to her bed in the hospital that night. Then, I opened my eyes, came about from my nap only to hear her three quickly scooped breaths, the final one calm, her lips slightly parted as if in hopeless wait for the breath to return to her the life that had leaked from her deflated chest, perhaps so that the dream she was lost in could be concluded before her fall into the blissful black void. Maybe she was dreaming of us before she died. I hope so. I hope I go the same way.
I reach the top landing and hold on to the railing, waiting for the fatigue to subside, for the rush of blood in and out of my head and limbs to balance out, my head spinning. That conversation with the police officer, phew! What voluminous exchange of words! It took me a while to explain to him that I am a British citizen, a retired professional, who has chosen to spend the remainder of his life roaming the streets of London just helping anyone who needs a picture. Somehow he found the explanation ever more sinister, explained to me the reason for this questioning. A man roaming about, purposelessly popping up at different locations in the same get-up, does raise some suspicion, especially that out of date camera he carries around. Let them cite me as the prime example of a creature of habit.
Oh! Let them.
I open the door to my flat and cannot help but smile. Elena is there. Even the naked bulb right outside my door throws light through the doorway and on to her pictures, mounted on the handcrafted sheets she was fond of and used generously, in black polished wooden frames. Elena in every frame, everything her, everything about her: all her shades and profiles and frames and expressions greeting me and delighting the naked bulb outside my door.
I make sure that no one steals them. I count them every day. One-thousand eight-hundred ninety-three. I start counting them as soon as I shut the door, after a casual, 'Hey! I'm home!' I stop by each frame as I continue the count, falling in love, delighting in Elena.
One… hat in the wind on that pebble beach.
Two… blowing kisses at me at the Baker Street station.
Three… reading a book on the balcony, fingers ploughing through her rich brown hair with a forgotten cigarette, which smokes like an incense stick, perched on the ash tray beside her.
'Your pictures make the beholder fall in love with your subject, Graham!' Picture twenty-nine whispers. A simple idea packaged within a simple sentence in her voice. I believed it, I believe it.
I know I will soon grow tired and exhausted of all this recounting and fall asleep either on the chair or on the wooden floor. My senility has me bemused. 'I love you,' I whisper back to the picture.
I take off my camera, that weight around my neck, and place it on top of the cabinet closest to me. Exhaustion has me plonk it down hard. The camera makes an empty, hollow sound. The sound is a complaint. I haven't loaded a film-roll in it for seventeen years.

I've seen a rash of complaints lately that the compose mail window in Outlook is the size of a postage stamp. While not common, and seen less often in recent years, it is a sign that Outlook (and the computer) recently had problems with resources - usually too many windows open and not enough memory.
Resizing the window, closing it then reopening it will fix it. Do not resize the window then compose a message and send it - this will not set the new window size. You need to resize the window then close it for Outlook to remember the size and location.
An old Windows trick for setting window sizes also works with Outlook 2007: hold down the Shift key while you double-click in the top left corner of the window. This will close the window and when you reopen, it should remember the size and location.

Renting From S.F. Shannon
All applicants must be at least 18 years of age; have a good current landlord reference; a good source of income; and good credit. The $25.00 application fee pays for the cost of a complete credit check done through Experian.
We cannot accept anyone who smokes (any substance whatsoever, including e-cigarettes). We also cannot accept anyone with previous evictions, or a police record (we typically don't worry about traffic violations).
Although we prefer to rent on a month-to-month basis, we do give every new resident the guarantee of no rent increase whatsoever for a minimum of 12 months. This affords the protection against arbitrary rent increases that otherwise would be provided by a lease while offering you the flexibility of not being bound to a one-year rental period.
Move when you want! You're not locked in to a lease. We ask you to give us at least 30 days' notice, as required by Missouri law. If you're in residence less than one year, you forfeit your security deposit.
We accept well-behaved cats and dogs at most but not all of our properties. At those buildings where pets are allowed, there is a $250.00 canine or feline security deposit per dog or cat. The pet security deposit is fully refundable provided that your pet has caused no damage whatsoever to the property.
By "well-behaved cats and dogs" we mean animals who do not cause trouble for their neighbors by (for example) barking excessively or acting in an aggressive manner. And animals who not destroy property by (for example) scratching the woodwork or using the floor as a bathroom. Such pets are not welcome in any of our apartment buildings.
And all pets must have responsible owners/caretakers. Dogs must be walked on leashes away from the property. You must clean up after your pet and properly dispose of the feces. Any "accidents" in or around the building must cleaned up immediately.

Urban Matter | St. Louis' own home accessories and gifts boutique plans a July opening in S.F. Shannon's corner storefront at Grand & Connecticut, in the heart of Grand South Grand. Woo Hoo! Can't wait 🙂

Dust if you must, but wouldn't be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake a cake or plant a seed, ponder the difference between want and need? Dust if you must, but there's not much time with rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead. Dust if you must, but the world's out there,
with sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, a flutter of snow, a shower of rain,this day will not come 'round again! Dust if you must, but bear in mind old age will come and it's not always kind. And when you go, and go you must, you, yourself, will make more dust.

Warm days have been hard to come by this September, and consequently invertebrate life has also been hard to come by. However, good things come to those who wait, and a sunny day with a light breeze saw things change. The Gold Dust Wattle, Acacia acinacea is in full flower attracting native bees, Lasioglossum (Parasphecodes) hiltacum. The breeze foiled attempts at a sharp photo of the fast moving little bees, but a flower fly, Lauxaniidae species was an easier target. As with many of the photos taken, the foliage had to be steadied with one hand while the camera was operated by the other.
Flies in the Therevidae family are commonly known as Stiletto Flies, and are frequent visitors to the moth light. On this occasion quite a number were gathered around the Leptospermum macrocarpum with mating in progress.
A different native bee species was seen, Hylaeus (Prosopisteron) littleri, and eventually photographed sitting on a grevillea. She is concentrating a droplet of nectar by evaporation of excess moisture.
The warmer temperature saw jumping spiders out and about. This Jovial Jumping Spider, Ocrisiona jovialis was roaming on the wall of the house. An attractive species, it is commonly encountered.
Also commonly encountered on the trunks of the garden trees is the Hoary Servaea, Servaea incana. A male and a very fat female were photographed.
There are a good number of the often featured Two-tailed Spiders, Tamopsis species on the trees. These speedy hunters never fail to intrigue with their superb camouflage.
This picture shows a female being courted by a male. The smaller male was gently tapping the tips of her hind legs with his front legs.
Larvae of Sparshall's moth, Trichiocercus sparshalli are spectacular and are often found on the trunks of the red gums.
The "green drought" the local area is experiencing has coincided with the appearance of many Horse Dung Fungi, Pisolithus species in the bare ground under the trees. This one is just emerging.

John Calipari
COACH CALIPARI:Â Questions.
Q. I was just thinking of your guys' energy, just the way it...
COACH CALIPARI: First half was good; second half was not good. We never got in rhythm. We never made extra passes. We kind of reverted a little bit.
But I expect some of that early.
Q. (No microphone.)
COACH CALIPARI: No, that's not what Iwant. The other thing that happened is they beat us on drives. In the second half, they just said, Drive the ball.
The other thing that happened is it got physical and it became a little bit of a fight.
We had guys not be able to make plays. They walked; missed one‑footers when things got physical. That's going to be an issue for us.
Q. I think you took the second platoon out a little bit early to start the second half. You took Karl out at one time. We're you struggling a little bit? Can we expect to see more of it when...
COACH CALIPARI: Some of it. I hope not, but I'll did whatever I have to do.
Again, I told them when we're playing this way you really have to do your remember job. You can't break it off and do what you're choosing to do. If we're having a scheme on defense, you got to do the scheme.
If you're supposed to do something offensively, then you have to do it.
We never posted up close to the basket. We were posting up seven feet because it got physical. So we ran from the physicality. That's why we missed the shots we did.
If you catch it tight and they try to trap, you're getting N1s or wide open shots. We were catching it; they fought us, battled us, and pushed us out.
Q. John did it surprise you that the physicality, that you either backed off or didn't handle it better?
COACH CALIPARI: No. No. It's good that it happened because we were able to talk about it and we'll show it on tape tomorrow.
Q. (Question regarding Willie Cauley‑Stein.)
COACH CALIPARI: Willie was good. Willie played well. Will defended and he was almost a rover. He was guarding like three guys. He did some good things offensively.
We just were never‑‑ we never got in rhythm and never made an extra pass offensively.
First half defensively we were pretty good. That's why we had the gap we had. Second half we didn't guard.
Q. (No microphone.)
COACH CALIPARI:Â I have to watch the tape.
Q. When you put Tyler in with the first four at the end, was that your finishing team?
COACH CALIPARI:Â No, not necessarily, but I wanted to throw 'em in there and see what would happen.
Q. (No microphone.)
COACH CALIPARI: Yeah, I guess. I mean, like I said, I wish‑‑ you expect when you're doing it this way that they just keep it on.
But it's hard when you're up 25 or 30 to just keep doing it. And you're playing against a team that is good.
I think early in this game they missed some shots they'll normally make, which is why they're picked high in their league.
Then in the second half when they settled down it was a one‑point game and ended up 13 in the second half.
You could tell they were not afraid. We were bigger than them and we made some plays, but we didn't shoot the ball particularly well. Devin didn't shoot the ball particularly well.
You know, but, again, this is‑‑ we need to really focus on the schemes defensively, what our jobs are, sharing the ball, you know, playing with unbelievable energy, and bringing it.
We've got six games now. This is five games and six games in 11 days. We got to practice, if you want to call it tomorrow, and then we play Sunday afternoon before we head to Indianapolis.
So it's going to be a grueling few games.
Q. (No microphone.)
COACH CALIPARI: It is, but it comes back to you must do your job. We can't scheme defensively if you're going to do what you want to do.
We had those kind of breakdowns. We had a couple guys that did not play ‑‑ and this happens‑‑ a guy doesn't play to the level that he is capable of playing energy‑wise and his focus.
Well, it screws up that whole group. It wasn't that whole group that screwed up when I took them out, but you had one guy wasn't playing. So, Okay, you guys now talk to him. Get this thing right.
Q. (Question regarding adversity.)
COACH CALIPARI: You look at what we did today. Think about the second half. It's a great lesson. Reason we're doing this is just to keep it on them the whole time. Let's see how we do. Keep focused. When you get in there with your time, do it.
The other side of this, again, what I'll do, if a team gets it going and they can continue ‑‑ like that second group, they didn't score against that second group in the whole first half.
If that happens and they're shutting somebody out, well maybe you leave them in there longer. You just let them stay in.
Look, I'm figuring this out; they're figuring it out. I told I our point guard, You have to get us to really gel offensively. You got to be out there getting people where they're supposed to be, moving the ball, huddling you team, talking to you team, keeping them running. Which means you got to it throw it ahead quick. You can't bounce it. Throw it ahead. Make those guys run.
Alex missed a layup and he ran a guy over. Well, you can't do that if we're going to throw it ahead to you. I mean, those got to be baskets.
Or if it's not there, just bounce it, swing it to the other side, and we'll play. Didn't post like we could have. Mainly we didn't post because they fought us. They just were not going to let us go to a position.
The games we're going to play going forward, that's what we're going to be facing. I just told them, If you think this season is going to easy, you're out of your mind. We're going to be in a fight every night. If you're want to come in like you're not going to play that way, you're not going to be on that floor.
Q. Can you talk about the three guys you signed and what you like about them.
COACH CALIPARI: Well, you know, Isaiah is a guy that is one of those Eric Bledsoe, Anthony Davis, whatever I got to do for us to win I'm doing. I'm not afraid of who is on your team; I'm not afraid who is coming in. I always wanted to play for you.
Very skilled. Has some bulldog to him. Can play both positions and can be a terrific point guard, can guard. You talk about Charles Matthews, when you saw him playing with Tyler Ulis, he was one of the best young players I saw in the country.
Again, you're talking about a long athletic kid that's just grown into his game. Can really guard. Should be a great defender. A slicing kind of player who shoots it pretty good, but a slicing kind of player.
And then Skal is one of those unique, another kid that went from 6'3" to 6'9". First time I saw him I said, you were small. He's 6'9", 6'10". You were small.
Yep, then I grew six inches in one year. I've had pretty good success with those kind of guys. He's a 3.5 student who lived through the earthquake in Haiti. He lived through it and was there when it happened and was lucky enough to get to the United States.
Like I said, his dream was to play here and play for me. He said, I did what I was supposed to academically to make sure that happens. He's like a 3.5 student. He's a good kid.
So all three of them, I'm excited about all three.
Q. (Regarding signing a letter of intent.)
COACH CALIPARI:Â If he didn't, we wouldn't be able to speak about him.
Q. Was there something you saw that told you the team needs adversity?
COACH CALIPARI: No. You know, I went on TV after and said, Didn't quite look like the two No. 1 teams to me out there today.
So, I mean, again, the biggest thing is the fist fight, the battle. I'm not giving you an inch. If you want it, you're going to have to take it.
That's what this team needs. We need it from every team that we play so that we understand that's how those games are going to be.
I thought Grand Canyon came out in the second half with that like, Look, we can play with these guys. Drive 'em. Get to the rim. Play hard. Be physical. They don't want to bang.
All of a sudden they came out and they drove the ball and they were more physical than us. We started fouling because they were getting by us.
So this is going to be a process just like last year was a process. It's not any different. We got a long way to go, you know, but we will see.
Q. In an odd way are you happy you got pushed around so you can show your kids and they can realize...
COACH CALIPARI: Yeah, we'll watch it. We'll watch some of the tape tomorrow. You know, where we're playing guys 21, 22 minutes, I could practice tomorrow, because really in the next six games they're going to play three and a half games in 11 days.
So I could. But I want this to be us focusing on what we need to do and coming out with high energy every time with play in what we're doing.

In this election, Americans have two very different choices. For many women, it is inspiring to have a female VP candidate no matter what their political stance is. Hillary Clinton gave hope to the progress of the feminist cause which is the right to be considered equal with men. They felt that the female voice had been stifled when Hillary lost. The emotions ran so high that it is still a challenge for Barack Obama to sway these women to vote for him. After Obama picked Joe Biden, John McCain made a shrewd political move & picked a woman. He hoped that his decision to name Sarah Palin as the VP would assuage those feelings of dejection these Hillary supporters felt.
It is hard for those liberal feminists who adored Hillary Clinton to do anything for Sarah but silently cheer her on. They may be keen on a woman for vice president but it's too bad she's not akin to Hillary Clinton in any way except her gender. We've all heard the dissimilarities between them but the most blaring one is on the topic of abortion. Sarah Palin is wholeheartedly against it no matter what the circumstances which is quite different than Hillary Clinton's viewpoint on abortion.
Now, I think that we need to reduce the number of abortions in the U.S. We are the second country that performs the most abortions in the world. Only Russia has more abortions than we do . There are several birth control methods that can prevent unwanted pregnancies. We need to educate our youth about the choices that are available to them. I don't want the government to control whether or not I can make a decision about my body. The right to choose is part of a democracy. It is a key component of American principles to have the freedom of choice. Thank God we can choose in this country. Here is a link to some countries that limits a woman's right to choose. http://www.reproductiverights.org/pdf/pub_fac_abortionlaws.pdf
