Who is Your Canary?
This week has been one of noticing perception. People see only what they can perceive. The challenge is how to see something new when there literally is no frame of reference? Over and over I have been in, and witnessed conversations where the communication fails due to the fact that one person just doesn't know how to see the situation differently. There is a temptation to label that person as close minded or ignorant yet it may truly not be their fault. It's like watching "Do you want to be a Millionaire" and seeing a question about your favorite TV show and the contestant has never seen it. You see the answer right away but there is no way that person will ever know the answer. Except... if they are willing to learn or be exposed to something new. How do we do this if we don't even know what we aren't seeing? There are two things that are needed. One is canaries, the other is an open hand.
We need canaries in our lives. Remember the stories of canaries going down into the mines? If the canary died in the mine then the miners knew the air they couldn't see was bad. We need people who point out what we can't see. Yes, it could be annoying because they force us to do something outside our comfort zone, yet they are so vital. Think of someone who annoys you - is it because they are your canary? Are they a call to new sight? Sometimes we are called to be that voice who sees things differently than those around us. Canaries have to be brave because often times humanity's blindness does lead to their death or suffering. We often celebrate the canaries who paid the price for claiming a new vision - Jesus, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Malala Yousafzai to name a few.
We also need an open hand. When a hand is in a fist everything is closed off. There is no way to see anything new. There needs to be a commitment to a lifestyle to be willing to open oneself up and possibly receive a new perspective. This means consciously choosing new places and new situations, making sure there are events in life that stretch and create new perspectives. Because we can only see what we perceive and if we wish to see with our Creator's eyes we'll need a big picture perspective.
Practice: Who are the canaries in your life? Where are you being called to bring sight to someone? Do you have people in your life who have a different voice than your own? Is your hand open or closed?

Clesti makeup June
if you haven't seen my videos on youtube, i have a makeup subscription from Celesti. Every month im send a pack, with 4-5 products in a makeup bag. Its costs about 25 usd, including the shipping.
This month i want to show you close ups of the products, instead of a video.
The things i received:
Lip crayon
Creme eyeshadow
Shimmer lotion
Black makeup bag
The lip crayon are very soft, and smooth. Its a dark color, i would say its a dark purple/dark burgundy. The brand is Starlook, i have not heard about this before, but the crayon seemed nice, i haven't taken it for a full spin yet, but the swatch i made wash good.
The creme eyeshadow, is not that pigmentet, you can barely see it on the skin, but there is a shimmer, and i think that i can be nice as a highlighter on your eyelids, so if you have a darker gold/rosegold look, this could give a highlight in the inner eye corner.
I have not tried this lipgloss, first i dont like ''wet'' lip glosses, and second its very very orange, and so not my color, but it looks like there is a lot of shimmer.
A shimmerlotion to mix with you foundation from Glo, i tried this a little bit, i didn't mix it with my foundation, but i tried to use it as a highlighter on my cheekbones.
It didn't have a lot of highlight on my cheekbones, but i could see the shimmer, but just barely, so its a good option if you dont like to have much on, or if there are restrictions on your school.
Its the first time there was a nail polish in the bag, its a nude shimmer with some sequins in it. The polish goes on nicely, and dryer fast, you need 2 coats to have a decent coverage, and it does not hold that long, I even put a heavy duty topcoat on, and it still flaked within 2 days. An normally my topcoat make my polish hold for 5 days.
Lastly, the makeup bag, this time it was black and slim, when you get these bags every month, you need to bee creative with the use of them, because they are not that big, when the only need to have 5 products in the, so i have started to use them for storage, for camera equipment, batteryes and stuff like that, you need to keep together, but still separate.
Wooh this was a long one, i hope you got to the end, if you want to see more, you can check the videos on youtube.

Tanaka Farms 2015 Workshop!
Good morning, Pumpkinistas!
I am happy to report that several dedicated, focused, and inquisitive individuals and families attended yesterday's workshop at Tanaka Farms! The attendees were treated to a very special demonstration of giant pumpkin weighing methods by Mark Imhoof, Senior Engineer and Weigh-off Crew Supervisor. Mark showed the attendees how we use a load cell and a special harness rated to 2,500 pounds to weigh the Pumpkinmania! entries.
Another special treat was the kind generosity of Tanaka Farms. All families in attendance were given passes to Tanaka's strawberry or watermelon tours.
Michelle and I can't wait to go!

Amy & Grahame | Married!
The more weddings I attend, the more I'm starting to appreciate a really amazing toast. Last night two people toasted the bride & groom, and they painted the most personal and intimate picture of the friendships that landed them in that role, each of which made everyone - even me (a near stranger to the lucky couple) feel like I've known them for years. The entire night, I watched Amy and Grahame, remembering traits that were mentioned in those toasts and seeing them come to life - the way kids are totally drawn to Amy, the excitement Grahame seemed to have when he saw every single guest for the first time. Their guests had a blast, the wedding was simple and elegant and comfortable, and it was one of those nights where I cried several times for people I barely know. I can't wait to edit their entire gallery, but in the meantime, a few quick favorites.

Reunion Confusion
My family had a reunion back in the days before cars came with GPS and before cell phones were common. My aunt went out as far through the family tree as she could, with instructions to forward the information and invitation to anyone that she may have missed, so we had over a hundred people at the event.
Because not everyone had been to my aunt's house before, and no one had GPS in their cars, she and her husband put massive signs reading "[Family Name] Family Reunion" with arrows throughout her town, from pretty much as soon as you get off the highway.
My great-uncle is obsessed with the family tree, and tried to sit down with everyone to get as much information as he could from each person, so he could work on completing it. He'd been sitting with one man for nearly twenty minutes, before suddenly bursting out laughing. The man and his son came to the wrong family reunion.
Apparently, they had been on their way to a family reunion for the son's deceased mother's side of the family. The last name was phonetically similar to our family's — although spelled slightly differently — and the man hadn't been close with his wife's family, so he didn't realize that the reason he didn't recognize anyone was because there was no one there to recognize.
The man was very embarrassed about the mistake, but he and his son were so friendly that we invited them to stay the rest of the day, as well. They couldn't, since they wanted to keep going to their proper reunion, but we've kept in touch with them to this day, and still call them honorary family members.

2017 Ford Escape Starts Production in Louisville, In Dealers May
Ford Touts Extensive Quality Control Measures
The Ford Escape is one of the top-selling crossovers in the country and among Ford's top-sellers, behind only the F-Series truck and Fusion midsize sedan. For the 2017 model year, the Escape gets a comprehensive mid-cycle refresh, with updates to styling, features, and powertrain to better meet the needs of compact crossover buyers.
To ensure customers get the quality experience they're looking for, Ford's Louisville, Kentucky, plant where the Escape is made has added several new quality assurance steps to increase precision on the production line. The Louisville plant is the first Ford plant in North America to employ robotic instrument panel decking, ensuring a consistent, repeatable installation that minimizes squeaks and rattles. Robots also hang and install the doors and liftgate.
However, the human touch is not entirely eliminated in the process. Suction cups are placed on the finished doors to measure door closing effort, which is done by a line worker, and the amount of effort measured by the computer to ensure it is within acceptable specifications. A robotic scan of panel gaps takes place before final inspection, which is performed by a 14-person team that tests electronics, engine, and other key subsystems. The Escape is the first Ford product to ship with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability and offers available lane-keeping assist, active cruise control, and parking assistance. The 2017 Escape will be available in dealers starting May 2016.

Peanut Butter and What?
It is a rare day in the household of Dearly Beloved and Miss NiNi when a jar of peanut butter remains closed.
With the breaking of the dawn, peanut butter helps start my day off right.
Miss NiNi is a creative breakfast shake virtuoso, so to speak. Using a little of this and a handful of that, my morning breakfast is always tweaked according to ingredients I have available. The mini-blender container might be loaded with a menagerie of fruit, milk, Chia seed, cinnamon, nutmeg, and spinach. Amounts of each ingredient vary with the mood of my day. However, come rain or shine, the combobulation of ingredients will always include a spoonful of protein-packed peanut butter. Mmmm…let the day begin!
If Dearly Beloved was questioned about his favorite peanut butter food, undoubtedly, it would be homemade peanut butter cookies. He can eat those sugary treats one after another without batting an eye. He loves them! That's why Miss NiNi dubbed her variation of homemade-peanut-butter-cookie goodness as "Mr. Fred's Favorite Peanut Butter Cookies." Check them out at my website here.
Dear Readers, have you ever seen a cookie with hashtag marks on the top? Oh, of course, you probably have! The uniquely notable forked criss-cross symbol on top of a cookie immediately announces, 'Peanut Butter Cookie.'
Even since the early 1900s when peanut butter cookies started gaining popularity, the hashtag mark was pressed into the cookie dough ball's top. But, why was that done, Dear Readers? "The most common reasons known are pure baking tradition–to help the cookies bake more evenly and as a warning sign for people with peanut allergies." (Source).
Peanut butter makes the cookie dough denser. When the dough is denser, it is more difficult for the cookie to bake evenly. A common table fork comes to the rescue! With two simple applications—criss—cross, the center of the cookie is flattened, and a cookie-baking dilemma is solved.
Pillsbury's 1936 cookbook is given credit for the unexplained application of the now commonly identifiable cookie tattoo.
Of greater note is the life-or-death benefit that the hastag provides. It's a bold warning sign to those with peanut allergies. Peanut butter cookies can often resemble other cookies in size, shape, and texture. Down through the decades, this baked-in symbol has become the great reminder that exclaims, 'Peanut Butter!' Miss NiNi is glad to know that!!
In my Internet research for today's chat, I happened upon the website, peanutbutterlovers.com where I discovered a fun-loving peanut butter lover's quiz. The answer would determine what would be the ultimate food to combine with peanut butter for my personality traits. As I clicked on the best answer for the trivia questions given, I wondered what outcome would be 'expertly' derived for Miss NiNi. After all, peanut butter truly is more than just peanut butter and jelly, Dear Readers!
Hmmm, very interesting…the quizmaster replied with my answer: "Peanut Butter and Pickles. You're quirky, you love the unique – and you don't play by the rules. Your friends think you're creative, even an artist! What's your next masterpiece?" Wow…spot on answer for this creative soul! Perhaps, the answers were 'expertly' derived after all!
Then, I was curious as to what other peanut butter food combinations the quiz would deem as answers. I retook it a few more times but gave answers that didn't really reflect my personality. What a blast!
How about this result: "Peanut Butter and Bananas. You're an old school, sensible person. You know what works and you stick to it. Why mess with change when you know what already works?"
Or this answer: "Peanut Butter and Chocolate. You're fun, outgoing and love to share. Some would call you sweet-natured. Having a great time no matter where you are is your thing. Lucky for you – there are tons of candies and desserts that match up with this combo."
Now, where is that jar of pickles?

While the Great One is never too far away from the wrestling industry, always putting over great talent in and outside of the WWE, The Rock hasn't wrestled a match in the WWE in five years.
However, the Johnson name will continue to grace the WWE, as The Rock's Daughter, Simone Johnson, has begun training at the WWE Performance Center.
According to Pro Wrestling Sheet's Ryan Satin, Simone began training on a part-time basis recently. In a recent episode of Lilian Garcia's Chasing Glory, Smackdown Live's Zelina Vega revealed that the 17-year-old has been working out at the PC.
According to Vega, Johnson told her that she knew she wanted to wrestle when she saw Vega doing her work for "Fighting with My Family" at Raw last year. Vega will play the role of AJ Lee in the film which follows the life and career of SD Live General Manager Paige.
Simone had said in a prior interview that she wanted to begin wrestling once she graduated from college, so we still have about four years to wait until the daughter of The Rock will grace the ring of NXT or WWE.

A former deputy Assembly speaker and Stormont minister has heavily criticised progress in the legacy inquest into the Kingsmills Massacre.
Former UUP MLA Danny Kennedy, now a victims campaigner, was speaking in Belfast on Friday after the latest hearing of the legacy inquest into the murder of 10 Protestant civilians by the IRA near Kingsmills in south Armagh in 1976.
In Friday's hearing lawyers for the families made a detailed submission expressing dissatisfaction that "matters have reached the stage where it is suggested the identities of the deceased members of the IRA should be withheld, not only from them but the public".
The submission detailed four recent inquests which had named dead suspects: that of Roseanne Mallon in 2013 (which named LVF leader Billy Wright), as well as inquests for Danny McColgan in 2015, Manus Derry in 2016, and Harry Thornton in 2017.
However coroner Brian Sherrard and his counsel Sean Doran QC expressed concern that naming the two deceased IRA suspects could endanger those close to them, saying that further consideration is needed.
But speaking afterwards Mr Kennedy insisted that they saw "no reason" why the two dead suspects – who both have extensive public IRA backgrounds – should not be named.
"We have seen it as precedents in other cases," he told the News Letter.
"But we will continue to press our argument. We will return when this inquest next sits. And we will make determined efforts to establish truth and justice."
In 2015 Taoiseach Enda Kenny promised Mr Kennedy and the families full disclosure of all Garda files relating to the suspects.
Yesterday Mr Kennedy said the families have three outstanding concern: one was the inability to name the suspects, another was the "very thin volume of evidence" provided by the Garda so far, and another was the "lack of progress" by Dublin in enacting legislation to allow NI coroners to take evidence in the south.
Sole survivor Alan Black said the families have been pressing for IRA suspects to be named since the inquest opened in 2015.
"There seems to be a collective will to put this inquest into the long grass... You know it is taking its toll," he said.
"I am 75 now. I mean, are they going to wait until I die?"

Police Killing
Directed by Lula Carvalho, Natasha Neri
- Brazil 2018; 105 min
- Original version: Portuguese
- Genre: Documentary
- Best Documentary - It's All True International Documentary FF
POLICE KILLING is a documentary about homicides committed by on duty police officers in Rio de Janeiro, in situations initially considered as legitimate self-defense. The dead person is accused of being a drug dealer and having fired against the police.
However, the officers' account is confronted by the emergence of videos and the fight of mothers who try to prove their sons were innocent. The film portrays the clash of versions in court hearings, the backstage of police investigations and the State Parliamentary Inquiry Committee established to investigate the high rates of homicides during police operations.

I really love all the signs in Glacier National Park and Canada. My favorite sign is the third photo. The sign is posted in the city park in Waterton, Canada. It gives me a chuckle every time I view it!

Canada Buffalo

Found these two guys outside of Waterton Canada. I took this shot in 2006 and believe it was taken at a buffalo reserve. I am crazy about buffalo, so of course ,we had to stop and drive through to see these magnificent creatures. I hope to discover places where I can photograph buffalo in Montana. I […]
Cute Critter
September 17, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Chipmunks are the cutest. At least they seem cuter than the pesky squirrel I had in my attic last winter. I saw this one in Waterton, Canada this summer while visiting the Waterton waterfall. I think I like Chipmunks and think I can pass on squirrels. I have a farm squirrel who manages to get […]

Jealousy is rearing its ugly little head inside of me. I am jealous of Matt Monarch who at only 33 years is well known within the raw community and seems to have a thriving business and new wonderful marriage. I have none of that. I am jealous of a person with a yahoo group that focuses on low level spiritual energy and awakenings with 800 people on it. Mine only has 200. I have greatness inside of me too why can I not manifest it and WHY is it so important to me that I do?
My ego is feeling annoyed today and is making it known to me. ok I admit I have been feeling useless these days. I know right now it is perfect that nothing is happening that I can see besides me walking, addressing some physical health concerns and writing my book. I AM BORED and IMPATIENT!!! LOL!!! I also have fear that it won't get beyond this.
And I am irritated at even the small 'successes' of others. Mind you these successes are MY judgment and opinions, not necessarily theirs. I want more for me. I have never gotten to the place of total acceptance of what is. I want more. I hope it is because I am so much more than I see or that there is so much more in store for me NOT that my ego is just needing more feeding. But who knows?
All part of the next steps in letting go more of my ego attachment to events, status symbols, things and people outside of me I am sure. I am also sure there is something else going on inside as a result of my visit with my sisters yesterday (visiting family ALWAYS brings up stuff). Just more to heal.

Session 3: Connected Core Energy
Session 3: Connected Core Energy
As Above, So Below - Radiating My Tuned Core Energies
Activating and tuning these two templates strengthens your co-creative resonance and increases your energetic presence here on the planet. The energies of the earth and the stars become more accessible to your conscious mind.
Radiating throughout the Core of your being increases your ability to communicate in a more meaningful way as you are "on the go" in your daily life. Audio is 30 min in length.
In this 3rd session we will be working with Template 3 & 4. The first template for this session begins at your knees, expands at your feet and meets at the center below. And the second template starts at your crown, expands up to your center above and goes into the center above.
These templates are important coherent energy patterns for As Above So Below, radiating your tuned core energy, source energy … within you. They are like energetic antennae, they receive and transmit at the same time.
All of these templates have been part of the EMF Balancing Technique from the beginning and now they now stand on their own. Something is changing because we have changed. We have been able to open new channels within to express our energy in alignment with the power of Infinite Love. It is very important to use these templates now as they will strengthen your ability to channel through that energy of Infinite Love to live in it in a way that we could not before.
Remember, this energy is transformative, electrical and alive and we are turning up the volume. This is going to bring out the new ways of thinking. Understanding more of what it means to be born of the earth and of the stars, strengthening many layers of the expressions of who we are, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Ready to finally have a websitE that is
a perfect reflection of your business and that actually converts visitors into paying clients?
And finally have a website that works as hard as you do!
Sound good to you? Perfect, you friend are in just the right place!
You feel like your site looks cookie cutter and want to learn the advanced secrets to making a truly fabulous website.
You're unsure how much info to share on your site, and how to organize your content in a way that makes visitors actually want to read it.
You don't know if you're picking the right template and are afraid the one you pick might limit you down the road.
You're struggling with not being able to make your site look as amazing as you want in terms of graphics, fonts, and layouts.
When it comes to the layout, you don't know how to create the clean, organized, logical site setup you're dreaming of.
You're currently surrounded by all the free downloads and blog posts … yet you're stuck in information overload phase, and still don't even know where to start!
Imagine what it will feel like when you've put the finishing touches
on a site that perfectly reflects you and your business.
"How do I pick a template that's a good fit for my type of business?"
"How do I use Squarespace to create the vision I have in my mind?"
"I want my site to show clients that I get them and their struggles, how do I do that?"
"How do I organize all the content on my site? Plus, how much is too much on a page?"
"Where should I even start?"
I know, there can be a LOT of questions and confusion if you're starting to build a site for your business for the first time.
If you don't have a plan to follow, it can be easy to make some critical mistakes, get stuck part way, and never end up at the finish line, launching your new website that brings in new subscribers and clients daily!
Without guidance and support, it can be difficult to get started or make any progress at all!
Let me just say, I so get it!
The most popular, advanced & comprehensive online course
teaching you how to build a Squarespace site that attracts your ideal clients 24/7!
See the site Jessica built! ↓
"We are already back on the 1st page of Google and we just launched! We also received three excellent prospective client inquiries today (we just went live last night) and one of the inquiries (who found us through Google) is a large whole family historic home remodel, which is totally our ideal project + client!
This course covered everything I was hoping to learn and then some. For eg., the content creation docs and guidance was unexpected and pretty much a game changer. I really appreciate the bonus trainings and info sprinkled throughout AND that Paige has taken the time to add updates. I super love how organized it is, and Paige gets right to the point with everything - there is no "fluff," it's all actionable and helpful content. She also has a fun-spirited personality that makes binge watching the videos enjoyable!
If you take this course, you will basically have a step by step guide to show you how to do everything right the first time around. Not only will that save you tons of time, but it will also put you at ease knowing your website sells for you.
Having a website that you are confident in, and that your ideal clients are happy to hang out on, is something every business owner deserves!
Our new site builds our professional reputation, positions us as experts, shows off our beautiful projects and fantastic client reviews.
I'm thrilled to share our new company site with the world. It's already been a success after 1 day, I can't wait to see what happens in the next year. It turned out better than I could have expected, thank you Paige!"
- Jessica Johnson
"Before taking the course I just felt SUPER frustrated. I had built basic sites before using Squarespace, but always followed a given template and never felt like I actually knew how to change things. I knew I wanted my site to be good, but didn't know how I could achieve that without hiring someone.
(Now the site is launched) it's already brought in an income within its first two weeks. I've managed to earn a great amount of passive income within days of launching and I've had people book in my services as they can now clearly see what I do. This was over the Christmas break so it was amazing to be earning money while on holiday!
I've also had soooo many people ask "who built it for you" and then are shocked to find out that I did it myself.
I've paid 2x - 3x this for other courses and they have absolutely FAILED to deliver anything new. This was not stuff I could Google easily.
I felt like Paige actually WANTS you to succeed and finish and do the damn thing! She's not selling hope, she's selling real, practical advice that if you implement WILL get you your great site.
Having a website has finally allowed me to launch other things like my first eBook, an online course etc. It's also meant I can just send people there to see what I offer and prices rather than going back and forth over email or jumping on a call.
Now, I'm excited to increase my online, passive income and free up even more time to spend with my young family."
- Fiona Killackey

"Before taking the course I wasn't sure that Square Secrets would be able to teach me much more than I already knew about Squarespace. (Spoiler alert: I was totally wrong!)
I am switching gears from accountant to web designer, and have had a slight lack of confidence in presenting myself as a designer. I'm excited to show off my new site and I'm confident I can gain plenty of clients because my work will speak for itself.
I have taken many courses over the years, and this by far was the best value for the money. I think about all of the content, the fact that it was step-by-step, so in detail, and how much I would've spent for say, a comparable college course. The cost of this course was so minimal compared to all of the great info received!
Now, I'm so excited to launch my Squarespace design business so that I can work from anywhere, on my schedule. I'm looking forward to moving away from boring accounting, to more creative design work!"
- Jennifer Bierds
Every time you go to work on your site you end up totally overwhelmed and straight up stressed! Halppp!
Client inquiries come in once in a blue moon, instead of in droves, uh, as they should be!
You're accepting just about any client right now, because honestly, ideal clients are feeling like unicorns. "Where are they?! How DO I attract them?!"
You honestly hate marketing your business, mostly because you feel too embarrassed to send people to your site, in fact, you try to avoid them going to the site at all.
You finally feel able to direct potential clients to your site with confidence!
You know your site communicates exactly what you and your business are about, and that it will close the deal for you!
You can finally get back to the things you're supposed to be focused on. Working for ideal clients, creating content and feeling like a real business owner!
"Uh, hello inquiries from ideal clients in my inbox daily, I was expecting you!" Woot woot!

"Before Square Secrets I was completely overwhelmed by all the bits and pieces of what to do and I just didn't know what to do first! I knew there must be a way to organize all the website things but knew it would take forever to work out. I didn't want my website to take forever. I wanted to be shown the best way and do it!
I bought the course without thinking twice as from Paige's extensive blogging, I trusted her expertise.
Now, I'm really proud of how clearly I can communicate to my clients what I do on my website. Square Secrets helped me create not just my website, but get my whole business and messaging in order!
Since the course, I've now found that people now trust my service completely before even speaking with me!
Joining Square Secrets was the best choice I have made for my business. It has made me fast forward about a year of messing around and making mistakes.
If you think it is some boring computer tech course, you are completely wrong. Paige makes everything funny, relatable and a total ease. I now feel a million times more confident with not just my website, but in myself too!
Before Square Secrets, I lacked the confidence of being a website designer, though I had taken the leap away from the 9-5, I was also hiding at home believing I wasn't good enough to actually do this... But thank goodness Square Secrets found its way to me and has given me not just the technical skills but the biggest confidence boost!"
- Freya-Rose Tanner
Freya-Rose now works online and travels simultaneously!
Watch to hear her story and course experience!
"The course changed my life and gave me the skills and drive to see my Squarespace design business as a "tangible" and "obtainable" concept.
I would NEVER have finished my site without taking this course and I looked forward to every video (my boyfriend even had to drag me away from my computer to eat because I was so engrossed and excited by ALL THE AMAZING CONTENT!)
- Reston Skinner
See the site Jamie built! ↓
"I'm a self-taught Squarespace user and I've been using the platform since 2014. While I absolutely loved it, I knew there were so many things I had yet to learn. My biggest fear in building sites prior to taking this course was that they were all looking cookie-cutter because I didn't really understand the secrets for customizing without using of code.
I view our site as the best piece I have for showing potential clients what we can do for them. It's sort of like hiring a personal trainer... I wouldn't feel comfortable signing up with someone who was out of shape. Same goes for hiring a web designer. New clients want validation that you're worth your salt and your own website is the first step in gaining their trust.
I can't even express how happy I am about signing up for this course! I showed my business partner all of the changes I've made to our site and she was beyond impressed. On a scale of 1-10 our confidence has went from a 6 to a solid 10!
I'm completely excited to see what the future brings! I believe that our improved website will help us score more projects, close more deals and get clients even more excited about working with us."
- Jamie Tomassetti
The honest answer is, it all depends on you, your current situation and how much time you can find every week to do the work. Most students can complete all of the modules and launch their site to the world in 4 weeks.
Others with a heavier schedules might take a few extra weeks. But I want you to know that there is no rush and no right or wrong amount of time.
You have access to the course and all future updates for life, so no need to stress!
Remember, this course isn't by any means a "quick fix".
This course is not about mindlessly slapping together a quick site.
This course will help you build a website that is going to be your best (unpaid) marketing employee that works for you around the clock for years to come.
Worth the initial time investment, right?
"well, uh, life is kinda busy right now..."
Girl I hear you! Buttt ....
There has never been a better time to start building the client-winning website for your business.
Why not start today instead of waiting another 6 months to a year for enrollment to open again?
How long has building a new site already been on your mind? Months? ...Years?!
If you wait, you'll be in exactly the same place you are right now.
Get started right away making true, valuable connections with ideal clients by having a website that is a perfect reflection of you and your business.
Bring in the bookings from ideal clients now, not 6 months from now - woot woot!
Start building an email list of potential clients who are genuinely interested in exactly what you have to offer!
Get to work on marketing already! No more dragging your feet on new marketing and networking opportunities, because deep down you're secretly embarrassed to send people back to your site.
Cross that darn 'build a new site' off your to-do list once. and. for. all! So you can get back to the other 97 things on your to do list waiting for your attention.
Do a happy dance, let the site-building-stress go, and have a launch party! (Any excuse for a party, amiright?!)
Feel like the real, professional business owner you truly are!
At some point, you're going to have to tackle the task of building a website.
Your business is begging you for a website that shows just how fabulous it truly is!
And there's only so long you can go working on projects with clients who you aren't a perfect fit for you before your excitement for your business wears down, one non-ideal client at a time.
But, I don't have enough time....
At some point, you're going to need to get around to building the site for your business, it's unavoidable.
Plus, following a course that is step-by-step, which has every piece of the process covered and everything you need to know inside is going to shave a ton of time off what you would spend if you went it alone.
How much time do you think you'd need to spend scouring the internet through hit and miss content to learn design best practices, Squarespace tech skills, and conversion strategy? Yes, there's lots of info out there in blogs, YouTube videos, and forum answers which you could piece together by yourself.
But, let's be honest, piecing those resources together is something you truly don't have time for!
Square Secrets is your shortcut to a client-winning website!
If you've used Squarespace before and are unsure the course will teach you more than you already know, watch the video below!
See the site Christian built! ↓
"Before Square Secrets I had a dozen or so unfinished websites that were never completed because I wasn't able to create the website I wanted.
I have been following Paige's life saving blog posts for a while now trying to get every bit of knowledge she has put out (freely) and when I heard she was teaching an 'ins-and-outs' Squarespace 'secrets' course I knew I had to jump on it!
I actually had the launch date marked in my calendar so I wouldn't forget!
I wasn't even concerned about the price because I knew that what ever information Paige would teach would be worth every penny!
I've take a few other Squarespace courses. So I was already familiar with some of the features but that's it. The other course taught me about the basic features, but not the "secrets" to manipulating the design that I envisioned.
Paige is super charming and has a great sense of humor! They way she teaches is fun and interactive and not a snooozeeeeeee!
Now, I can expect to make web design a full time job earning double my salary while staying at home in my sweatpants :)"
- Christian Nondys Johnson
"Less than 1 month after completing the site redesign, my virtual assistance services became booked out! I completely attribute this to all the things I learned from Square Secrets!
I also went from just offering Virtual Assistance services to adding Squarespace design to my offerings. Recently, I got my downpayment for my first Squarespace design client! In just a few months, this course has paid for itself about 6 times over! Mind = Blown!
(Take the course and) you will get so much more than just a gorgeous website! You'll get a website that works for you, engages your dream clients and delights them all the way to the bank! You will get a thorough and expert guide who presents the materials in such an organized and easily digestible way.
Also, Paige doesn't just teach you how to design and make it look gorgeous, but she also provides expert copywriting prompts and exercises on how to write your website. Have you noticed her copy game is 100% on-point? Well, you get to learn how to do it for yourself, and it's awesome!
I've taken other online courses for different topics, and this one is top-notch. Well-organized, well-presented, and easy to flow through and absorb. It's paid for itself time and time again!"

I wholeheartedly believe in the Square Secrets course, so I want you to feel confident in trying it out for yourself! That's why I have a 7 day money-back guarantee!
I want to give you the opportunity to take my methods and strategies for a test-drive, but I also want you to give your very best effort to apply all of the teachings in the Square Secrets course.
If at the end of 7 days you have decided that Square Secrets isn't the right fit for you for whatever reason, then your investment will be refunded to you, no questions asked.
Let's be clear though, Square Secrets is a course for the go-getters who are ready to get after it and are excited to do the work involved with building a website!
My goals is for you to create a website that is a perfect reflection of you and your business. I'll give you the strategies, methods and tech trainings, and you friend are responsible to follow through on doing the work!
You can try Square Secrets for 7 days and if for any reason you don't feel it's a good fit for you, just ask for a refund.
I help the creative entrepreneurs just like you go from website-dreaming to website-launching, so you can get back to running your business, creating content and booking dreamy clients.
A few years ago I was clueless in the website building department. Domain? Blocks? Index pages? … Uhh, come again?
I made it my mission to become an expert on Squarespace, and I did just that! Now I run the go-to Squarespace blog which has helped over 100,000 Squarespace users!
I also cracked the secret on building sites that connect with and convert ideal clients, so inquiries coming through my site are always from dream clients, and I can't wait to show you how it's done too!
I created this course because I know it's hard to build a site yourself, but with step-by-step instructions and the right guidance and support, I just know you'll be able to make a client-magnet website that helps take your business to the next level too!
I'm excited to see what you create in the course!
Oh, and I also just so happen to be one of the very first Squarespace Authorized Trainers! So you know you're in good hands. 🤓
The course starts the minute you enroll! All the course content and modules will be immediately available to you, and you have access to the course materials for life!
There are 4 'active' weeks of the course when the live Q+A calls will take place right after enrollment ends.
While the live Q+A calls run for 4 weeks, you have access to the course content for life, so there's no hard end date by which you need to finish.
The course content including videos, workbooks, checklists, instructions and all other resources are available to you year-round, for life!
For the weeks that you're just going through the course lessons, I'd suggest setting aside 3-5 hours a week to watch the course videos, and complete the associated work.
When you actually go to build out your site, I'd set aside 1-2 days to dig in and get building!
Call up the babysitter, skip on the gym (just this once) and cancel your drinks with the girls, you have important business to do building that site!
But let's be real, completing this massive part of your business in a matter of days, soooo worth it, amiright?!
First, you'll want a solid internet connection. (If your connection at home runs at snail speed, take this as an opportunity to go swing by Starbs and indulge in one of their desserts-in-a-cup.)
You'll also want a laptop or desktop computer when building your site. Trying to build a site while on a tablet or phone won't work so well.
This is a group course, not a 1 on 1 program.
For the 4 active weeks of the course however, I invite you to ask me your questions directly during our live Q&A calls. (If you can't make the call live, you can send in your questions in advance, and I'll answer them on the Q&A video for you to watch later.)
Need help with the course portal or having trouble accessing the course materials? Send that email on over!
Have a question on the course content or questions specific to your site? Save those for the live Q&A calls where we can have a conversation and I can give you an answer tailored to your business.
Have a Squarespace tech issue or question? Squarespace live chat support will be able to lend a hand with that!
Tech support is not included with the course as this is a group program and not a 1-on-1 service. Not to worry though, you won't be up a creek all alone!
Every Squarespace free trial and paid plan comes with 24/7 tech support (via email and live chat) from the fine folks at Squarespace in NYC, Portland & Dublin. The tech support staff truly do know their stuff! They have hundreds of employees working around the clock and they're also able to login to the back end of your site, so they can identify issues and help give you fixes a lot quicker than this one-woman-show ever could.
I'll teach you the strategies and give you step-by-step tech tutorials. If for some reason things aren't quite working out, head to the Squarespace tech support and they'll give you a hand.
No ma'am, this is a no-code-zone! I'll teach you all the hacks so it looks like you did some fancy coding, when really you didn't.
If you want to spice things up a bit on your site with some code, I'll point you in the direction of some paid options where you can buy code snippets (which you get support with, so you're not left alone with a bunch of funny jiberish you don't know what to do with!)
This course is specifically for service-based business owners, so we won't be covering Squarespaces e-commerce functionality. If the primary purpose of your site is to be an e-commerce online store, unfortunately this course isn't the right fit.
All of the course videos are recorded while using a Brine family template - the most functionality-rich of all the templates!
Though using a Brine family template is not mandatory to take the course, it's highly suggested you use it, not just because the course videos show you examples using it, but also because it's the best template family Squarespace currently offers. Every Squarespace designer I know these days is only using Brine family templates in their designs - and that says something!
If you choose to use a non-Brine family template, the vast majority of the course strategies, lessons and tutorials will still apply to you, though there will be some functions shown in the course that your template will not be able to achieve. Additionally, some steps will be slightly different to what is shown in the recorded videos.
All of the course videos will instruct you in the current version of Squarespace, version 7.0 which 99.9% of Squarespace websites are currently built on.
A beta version of Squarespace was recently released, version 7.1, which a select few Squarespace sites have began testing. Version 7.1 is not yet available to all users, is still being updated and fixed and does not yet have all the functionality of version 7.0. When version 7.1 is fully complete and released to all users, I will be updating all of the relevant course videos.
All current and past Square Secrets students will also get access to the new version of the course when it is released.
I'm going to let past students answer this one!
Many students previously had sites on Squarespace for years, others had built 10+ sites on Squarespace and even some past students had full-time jobs as Squarespace designers. All went through this course and EVERY ONE of them said they were still amazed with just how much new information they learned. They basically all said 'I didn't know what I didn't even know!' until they took the course.
This is the most comprehensive and advanced Squarespace course available online, so it doesn't get any more advanced than this!
Be sure to browse through the student testimonials on this page. A lot of them had the same concern that they already knew a fair bit about Squarespace and weren't sure the course would teach them anyting new, but thankfully that turned out to not be the case at all.
There's 2 things I'd suggest you have down business-wise before joining the course.
You should know what services you plan to offer and you should have a rough idea of the type of people you want to have as clients.
We'll get crystal clear on our ideal clients together during the course, but having a rough idea to start with will be super helpful.
In terms of services, you'll need to decide on the services you'll be offering and write up the packages you want to offer yourself. You should complete this services bit before taking the course.
That's all you need to get started! Not so hard, right?
Gal, I get it. But lemme say, it's 2019 and bad websites just won't do anymore, so we have to find you some sort of solution!
If you have more money than time, then let's chat about connecting you with a trusted Squarespace Design expert where they do ALL the tech stuff for you. If you have more time than money, then this, friend, is your best bet to get step-by-step video tech tutorials to make things as painless as possible.
This course was built specifically for service-based creative entrepreneurs and small business owners. If your title sounds something like the following, then yes, this course was made with exactly you in mind!
Graphic Designer
Virtual Assistant
Aspiring Web Designer
Event Planner
Marketing Strategiest
Brand Strategist
Social Media Marketer
Digital Marketer
Interior Decorator
Venue Owner
Makeup Artist
For this course my aim is to help service-based business owners.
If you run a product-based business and need Squarespace e-commerce online store functionality, unfortunately this course won't be a good fit.
Let me say that I get it because I've also made some hellah-scary investments in my business in the past too. And you know what? Every single time, the educational resources, courses and programs I've invested in have ended up on my end-of-year reflection 'time and money well spent' lists.
The other honest truth is, bad websites don't sell services and land clients. So I have to ask, how much business do you think your current website is losing you every month?
Still unsure? I asked past students to tell me their feelings on this statement "The course was worth the financial investment I made" Every. single. one. of them responded with 'strongly agree!'
Here's what students said about the investment in their own words:
"I have taken many courses over the years, and this by far was the best value for the money. The cost of this course was so minimal compared to all of the great info received!" - Jennifer
"I've bought a lot of online courses and this was definitely one of the best!" - Mary
"Worth every penny!" - Christian
You can make this site build as cheap or pricey as your budget allows.
There's a few things that might come in handy which you can pay for such as stock photos, graphic design software, legal templates (privacy policy, terms and conditions), etc. Wherever possible, I'll point you to my fav places to get these items, some paid and some free.
None of those things are mandatory to complete the course however, it's all up to you.
Enrollment is only open a couple weeks out of the year, so unless you want to be stuck in the same embarassing or non-existent website situation 6 months to a year from now … today is the day gal!
If for whatever reason you're unhappy with your purchase, you may request a full refund within 7 days.
Still undecided?
They said ...
"DO IT, DO IT, DO IT! From the first module, I knew Paige knew what she was on about and that this course would be WELL worth the money I'd invested. Stop spending time Googling, reading blog articles and searching YouTube for answers. This is a small amount to pay to get a site you LOVE. I started off doing the course in the evenings (in place on Netflix) and was implementing things immediately. I felt like finally I was making progress on a site I'd been sitting on for three years!!!"
- Fiona Killackey
"You can DIY yourself into oblivion trying to learn all the free techniques on YouTube or other blog posts but that still won't cover what Paige will teach you. Plus that's a lot of running around in circles trying to piece everything together when you could just take the course and have a step by step guide that you have a life time access to"
- Christian Nondys Johnson
"I have taken many courses over the years, and this by far was the best value for the money. I think about all of the content, the details Paige provides, and how much I would've spent for say, a comparable college course. The cost of this course was so minimal compared to all of the great info received!"
- Jennifer Mager
"Do it! It's well worth the investment - you'll save a lot of time trying to figure everything out and it's more affordable than hiring a designer so you'll also some serious dollars. Paige is full of information and delivers it in an easy to digest, clear way and she really takes the time to answer questions for everyone, which isn't very common in other classes I have taken online."
- Jessica Haines
"The fence you're sitting on divides mediocre Squarespace websites from the freaking amazing Squarespace websites. My advice would be to come on over to the freaking amazing side! I cannot believe how much I've learned from this course and I've been using the platform for almost 5 years now! The investment will be completely worth it, I can say that with confidence based on my own experience."
- Jamie Tomassetti
"Joining Square Secrets was the best choice I have made for my business. It has made me fast forward about a year of messing around and making mistakes. If you think it is some boring computer tech course, you are completely wrong. Paige makes everything funny, relatable and a total ease. I now feel a million times more confident with not just my website, but in myself too!"
- Freya-Rose Tanner
"I would NEVER have finished my site without taking this course and I looked forward to every video. My boyfriend even had to drag me away from my computer a few nights to eat dinner because I was so engrossed and excited by ALL THE AMAZING CONTENT"
- Reston Skinner
"This is such an amazing investment. I started designing my site almost 10 months ago and it's seen sooo many iterations (like way too many). If I had access to Paige's course back then, I would have saved myself so much time and frustration. This course really opened my eyes to just how much you can do with Squarespace that I didn't realize was possible. You won't regret purchasing this course."
- Lauren Taylar

From the time I read a book about sailing as a teenager, I wanted to sail a boat. Then in my twenties, after visiting the Adirondack Museum and Mystic Seaport, I wanted to build a wooden boat. It's taken some time, but I've started a project to do both of those things.
After reading Michael Ruhlman's Wooden Boats and Steward's Boat Building Manual, I got very curious about lofting- the transferring of lines from a plan to a full scale drawing. Almost by accident, Lynne found a class at Mystic Seaport. So I signed up and took a Walt Ansel's class on lofting at the John Gardner Small Boat Shop (he's the iconic author of several books on wooden boat building) in November of 2016.
We learned all about Tables of Offsets and how they are used to generate the drawings of the boat, and the templates from which the boats are made.
We took the numbers from the table shown above, made tick sticks, and made full scale drawings on a sheet of plywood ("lofting").
This is drawing is pretty complete-it took several hours and lots of deliberation! The right side contains a projection of the transom. We used this drawing to form a template and then used that template to cut out and shape a transom. Here's a neat trick: to make the template, ringed nails (near the tape measure) were laid on their sides and hammered in place (the remnants of which are those the dark lines you can make out on the drawing). A sheet of plywood was then laid on the exposed heads to transfer the shape. A little hammering later and you have the lines transferred, connect the dots, and you are ready to cut out the template!
This four day class was intense. In addition to lofting, we also were introduced to construction methods for various boat parts, spiling, caulking, carvel planking, and what to consider in selecting your first boat...here are some candid shots of the class with Walt- a great instructor! The class was well worth it and I got to hang out with some other boat builders; that a was a lot of fun.

The Lady Archers look to avoid the same fate they suffered in UAAP Season 77 as they are exactly in the same spot as they were last year after finishing the elimination rounds in second place giving them a twice-to-beat advantage in the Stepladder Semis.
Although FEU is the team, which gave La Salle most of their heartbreaks in the women's division in recent years, there is no denying that an Ateneo-La Salle matchup in the Semis is still a rivalry series to look forward to.
Head-to-head matchup
In their previous two meetings this Season, DLSU swept Ateneo two games to none. Both games however, were tightly contested.
In their first meeting, the Lady Archers barely escaped the Lady Eagles, winning by only one point after leading by a sizable margin almost the entire game. Luckily, Ateneo committed crucial turnovers and failed to hit their shots down the stretch to give La Salle a 44-43 victory despite losing their huge lead in the fourth quarter.
Round two was a different story as both teams kept the game close with Ateneo leading most of the way. La Salle mounted a comeback in the second half to bag a slim 63-58 win thanks to Ara Abaca's 10 points in the final period.
Both games saw Ateneo stalwart Danica Jose lead her team with numbers well above her average. Jose had 14 points, 13 rebounds, and four blocks in their first round meeting and performed even better in their next game scoring 23 big points while grabbing 17 boards for Ateneo. Indeed, one of the main keys to beating Ateneo is to limit Danica Jose.
Star comparison
Two of the most formidable bigs in this UAAP season, La Salle's Ara Abaca and Ateneo's Danica Jose look to lead theirs teams to the Finals. Both Abaca and Jose are part of this Season's Mythical Five.
Team comparison
Team Preparations
"We have one mindset right now which is to beat Ateneo. They're a strong team and they're going to go all out plus they have momentum coming in to the semis, so we have to keep our composure and play with a higher intensity both on offense and defense" says Team Captain Alyanna Ong. "We just have to keep doing what we're doing, just better and more fluid with a higher intensity".
"Right now we are doing the usual scouting and physical preparations but I think that we also need mental and emotional preparations especially right now in the semi finals," adds Alyanna. "Coach Cholo keeps reminding us to remember what we felt last year, and that we don't want to feel the same hurt again."
Get it done
The clash between rivals La Salle and Ateneo will happen on Wednesday, 10 am at the Mall of Asia Arena. A win by the Lady Archers will give them the last ticket to the Finals to face the sill unbeaten National University Lady Bulldogs.
Note: Camille Claro, who suffered an ankle sprain in their last game against the Lady Bulldogs, although not 100%, will be available to play tomorrow.

I used to spend a lot of time at my grandmothers home as a toddler, and every once an some time she would give me one thing called Syrian bread," which was made by a neighbor across the road. It was considered one of my earliest food recollections, and on the time, probably my favourite thing to eat. It was simply so much totally different than the sliced white bread, or crusty Italian bread I used to be used to consuming.

Google Analytics and my privacy policy
I'm looking to be a little more active on this blog. However, I want to put up content that you want to read. Up until this point, I haven't really looked at keeping track of user engagement. I generally write about things I'm passionate about on here. I want to start finding out what we are mutually interested in so I can keep you coming back for more.
To that end, I'm going to start using Google Analytics on this site. I was going over the license agreement yesterday and Google requires that I put up a privacy policy (this will also be linked at the bottom of every page on the site). However, I thought I would post an explanation here as well.
Google tracks each user on a participating site with a random non-personally identifiable tracking number. This allows me to see which posts are getting the most engagement (through user clicks, comments and sharing, for example.) I can also see when you access the content on here. As a matter of full disclosure, if for some reason I see that everyone is coming on here at 2 a.m., instead of posting at that time, I would write something up earlier in the day and set the timer for its release. I say this only because if I write a blog post that absolutely changes your life and you feel you need to call me and talk about it, I probably won't pick up the phone in the middle of the night unless I get a job that has me keeping different hours. Please email me instead and know I will have the smile on my face when I get it in the morning.
Google Analytics also gives me the ability to give buyers some hard metrics if I ever decide to sell ads on here in the future. This is not anything I see as imminent. If I find I'm delivering content people like and attracting readers, it would be nice to pay for the cost of the site and maybe make a little extra money. I promise to let you know if and when this happens. Any potential ads would not affect your enjoyment of the rest of the site. I promise no full-page takeover ads.
Google does offer an opt out option via an add-on for the major web browsers. Don't worry about bothering me if you use it. I'm just glad you like my writing.
The last paragraph of the privacy policy is an acknowledgment of the fact that this site, like any on the Internet, continues to evolve. If in the future I collect any user data (e.g. username and password system for comments), that information is between you and me. If I get a legal request to turnover user information, I will notify the user so that they may challenge the request unless prevented from doing so by law or when I get a good faith assertion of something I think presents immediate danger to the public. I take your personal privacy very seriously.
I want close by thanking you for reading this blog. I write this mostly because I'm interested, but I'm incredibly gratified anytime I get feedback that someone likes what I write. Getting someone to smile makes that endless writer's block worthwhile.

A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to be the in-studio artist on the 3rd episode of the all new Fanboy TV. It's a live internet tv show that's taped in Dallas twice a week. They have the artist come on first and interview them. Then the artist goes off and creates a drawing while the rest of the show goes on. The guest after me (via webcam) was only Joe Quesada, no pressure right? Then artist comes back, participates in the "Sub of Flub" segment and then reveals the peice they created. And the cool thing is, they give away the artwork in a drawing of people from their message board.
Here is my interview segment.They have problems getting my mic going at first but it kicks in pretty quick.
Me participating in Sub or Flub.
Here's the reveal of the peice I created. They have technical troubles at first, the screen is stuck on their website, but it eventually comes up.
Below is the peice I created and a shot of me with the guys on the set.

Malawi A-Z
City A-Z
Tucked between Zambia, Tanzania, and Mozambique, the small nation of Malawi is called the "Warm Heart of Africa."
Settled by the Bantu around the 10th century, the British began to colonize the area in the late 1800s. Called Nyasaland at the time, the country gained independence in 1964 and it became a republic in 1966.
Development in Malawi is far behind the rest of the world. Most of the country is based on an agricultural economy and has a population that is mostly rural.
That setup does give the adventurer plenty of room to explore. Malawi is a land filled with plateaus, mountain summits, beautiful plains, and stunning river valleys. Some of the highest peaks in the country top 3000m. Each area has multiple activities to offer, giving this small nation a large reputation.
Some of the best freshwater diving sites can be found in Nkhata Bay. Boating and other water sports are available on Lake Malawi. There are eight different national parks that offer exploration opportunities, including Liwonde National Park, which offers visitors a unique safari expedition to enjoy.
Cultural tours are available in Malawi as well. You can find everything from pottery and cooking classes to tea factory tours available with certain packages. One common time to visit is during the Lake of Stars festival, where live music combines with warm sunshine to create an amazing beach holiday.
Malawi does have the occasional place to avoid, but a little common sense can go a long way toward creating a fun and exciting African adventure. Plan with care and this may just be the perfect holiday destination.

Evans: Giants' coaching staff will be evaluated
SAN FRANCISCO -- While it's possible the Giants adjust their trajectory by making changes to their coaching staff after an unsuccessful 2017 season, no definitive decisions have been made yet according general manager Bobby Evans, who spoke Tuesday at the club's end-of-season press conference."We're going through evaluations," Evans said. "We'll
SAN FRANCISCO -- While it's possible the Giants adjust their trajectory by making changes to their coaching staff after an unsuccessful 2017 season, no definitive decisions have been made yet according general manager Bobby Evans, who spoke Tuesday at the club's end-of-season press conference.
"We're going through evaluations," Evans said. "We'll be making determinations in the near future."
Evans indicated that some of the Giants' coaches could be candidates for other positions across the Majors -- third-base coach Phil Nevin has been linked to the Tigers' manager job -- and there's speculation the Giants may replace hitting coach Hensley Meulens, who just wrapped up his eighth year with the club.
Further complicating matters, some coaches have contracts that are set to expire after next season. But that timeline doesn't mean the organization's Major League coaching staff isn't on Evans' list for offseason evaluation.
"Everything's up for discussion," Evans said.
Mum on Cueto
The Giants haven't yet received official word from
"He's indicated his passion for being here," Evans said. "But ultimately, he has to make a business decision, too, along with his agent."
Position changes
Giants manager Bruce Bochy again hinted that his everyday outfielders could see some position changes, especially as the team becomes a player in the free-agent market.
Bochy said center fielder
"He took it upon himself to make himself to become a better center fielder," Bochy said.
Filling the seats
Though the team's attendance numbers were down this year and its 530-game sellout streak ended, Giants president and chief executive officer Larry Baer said he's not concerned. Instead, he was impressed.
Baer said he was "blown away" by the club's fans, many of whom still attended games long after the Giants were eliminated from postseason contention.
"There's massive good will in the bank," Baer said. "We don't take it for granted. I think we're going to be fine, attendance-wise. And therefore, revenue will be fine."
High order
With the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 Draft secured, the Giants feel they have the luxury to weigh a prospect's ceiling and potential timeline to the Majors. A combination of the two represents a "best of both worlds" scenario as a consultation prize for an otherwise disappointing season.
"We've already started getting a pretty good idea of where guys line up," Evans said. "It's way too early to tell at this point. Sometimes guys are there that could help you much faster. That could be really attractive, especially if you're picking as high as we are."
Hernandez surgery
Evans revealed that outfielder
Hernandez was sidelined for a few games in September with a wrist sprain.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Women who have babies that are the result of rape would have an easier time keeping the alleged rapist out of the child's life under a measure making its way through the Illinois General Assembly.
WBBM Newsradio's Bernie Tafoya reports, under current state law, a woman who is raped and becomes pregnant can seek to have visitation and custody rights restricted for her rapist. But state Rep. Ann Williams (D-Chicago) said "it's only permitted if she has a criminal rape conviction against the attacker."
Williams has sponsored legislation to require only "clear and convincing evidence" of a rape, not a conviction, to limit a father's visitation or custody rights if a child is conceived through sexual abuse or assault.
