The IKEA Group Sustainability Report for fiscal year (FY ) 2014, released today, shows its People & Planet Positive strategy is on track and delivering good results. Sustainability performance is announced today alongside strong financial results, which show an increase in total sales to EUR 28.7 billion, a 5.9% increase (adjusted for currency impact) from last year.
Sustainability highlights from FY14:
- During the year, IKEA Group committed to own a further 87 wind turbines, bringing the total to 224, and installed 150,000 solar panels, increasing the total to 700,000 and taking the company a step closer to producing more renewable energy than the total energy it uses by 2020. By the end of 2015, we aim to have invested and committed to invest EUR 1.5 billion in renewable energy projects.
- The sales value of products for a more sustainable life at home passed €1 billion, a 58% increase compared with FY13. These products enable people to save or generate energy, reduce water use, cut waste and live healthier lives.
- 75% of all lighting products sold were LED or compatible with LED bulbs, which use 85% less energy and last 20 times longer than traditional (incandescent) bulbs. The entire IKEA lighting range will convert to LED by September 2015.
- €66 million saved through energy efficiency efforts in stores and warehouses since FY10.
- IKEA Group is one of the world's largest buyers of FSC-certified wood in the retail sector, and 41% of its wood was FSC certified or recycled in FY14. All wood was sourced from suppliers that meet the IKEA forestry standard.
- The share of cotton from more sustainable sources used in IKEA products reached 76%, meaning farmers use less chemicals and water, whilst increasing their earnings. IKEA is on track to reach its goal of 100% by the end of August 2015.
- 47% of managers are women.
- The IKEA Foundation donated €104 million in 2014 to projects that support millions of children in some of the world's poorest communities.
"Sustainability is a key driver of innovation and an integral part of our business strategy. We see it as a great opportunity to improve our business. That's why we've set ambitious 100% targets, for example for our LED lighting range, important raw materials and renewable energy. We are determined to grow IKEA while also having a positive impact on people and the planet," Peter Agnefjäll, President and CEO, IKEA Group.
"Through our People & Planet Positive strategy, we want to make IKEA completely sustainable. I'm proud to say that we're making good progress in transforming the supply of key materials, with over ¾ of our cotton and 41% of our wood now from more sustainable sources, and we're investing in renewable energy to bring us closer to our goal of being energy independent. And by making energy-efficient LED affordable and attractive, we've enabled millions of people to live a little more sustainably,"Steve Howard, Chief Sustainability Officer, IKEA Group.
Here in the UK and Ireland:
- During FY14 we completed the roll-out of our solar panel offer in partnership with Hanergy to all 18 UK stores. We aim to make solar affordable and attractive to as many people as possible. So we're pleased to see our panels are being bought by people with smaller homes than the average UK solar customer - our competitive prices and pay as you earn Solarloan mean households who were previously priced out to the market can now invest in solar.
- This year we planted our 750,000th tree with the Woodland Trust. IKEA UK is on track to plant its 1 millionth tree by the end of November 2015.
- We have invested £9 million to upgrade all our store lighting to LED, which has helped contribute to a 5% reduction in energy use whilst our volume of business has grown.
- Our sales of products for a more sustainable life at home grew by 32% compared with FY13. These products enable people to save or generate energy, reduce water use, cut waste and live healthier lives.
- A continued focus on involving our co-workers in all aspects of our sustainability agenda (including the opportunity to try out our more sustainable life at home products in their own homes) helped achieve an 8% increase in co-worker awareness around sustainability. This helps our team act as ambassadors to engage our customers as we roll out our sustainability business goals.
- IKEA UK contributed over £900,000 in 2014 to The IKEA Foundation projects that support millions of children in some of the world's poorest communities.
In recognition of our work on the sustainability journey in FY14 IKEA UK&IE won the BusinessGreen Leaders Company of the Year Award and the National Business Award for sustainability.

In this reading, Halberstam raises interesting points about the colonial nature of order, and the ways that resisting and infiltrating order is anarchic, organic, anti-colonial, and yes, failure. So what does anti-colonial resistance of order look like in school and academia at large?
Halberstam talks about legibility – being able read or understand something. (pg 5) Halberstam talks, for example, about legibility and academic discipline. For school to make sense, for school to be legible, we need to draw clear lines between disciplines. This way, we can continue to predictably produce work in those fields.
Halberstam argues that there are certain way of seeing things that we view as "natural order," but are actually completely socially constructed. Halberstam argues that to see like the state is to see this natural order as natural. (pg 9) This makes sense, because this socially constructed "natural order," is productive, and it is marketable. But Halberstam poses the question, is it in fact, sustainable?
But that's not how things actually work. The world isn't legible. In reality, there aren't these clear and rigid distinctions between each field – the sciences, arts, and everything in between all mingle organically. But allowing this organic lingering is not productive in the traditional sense. What if you're trying to algebra and end up with an aria? This isn't predictable, and it isn't productive in a way that benefits academia.
Legibility and order by nature benefits people who can fit into that order, and people who already have power. To stray from legibility in my goofy example, to come up with an aria when you are supposed to do your math homework, does not benefit those in power. The aria writer in this example is not being a good little capitalist worker, because they didn't fit into the order. Their work would result in academic failure. But a compelling one.
Another example engaging the organic as opposed to the rigid comes from the craft of Halberstam's writing. While Halberstam does engage other academics, Halberstam also engages cartoons. Halberstam argues that in academia, to be rigid. (pg 6) Instead of rigidity, Halberstam draws from outside of the source material traditionally engaged in writing about theory.
So what choices do we, as students and academics, have to engage an institution that is built around order? How do we engage legibility when the world and our lives are anything but? How do we engage the inherent colonialism of order and legibility that the success or failure of our life is assessed about when it doesn't benefit us?
Halberstam proposes two ways of engaging this order – through violent means and negative means. To engage the hegemonic order of academia through violent means it to infiltrate academia, learn your material more than those teaching, and change it from the inside out. To engage with negative means is to reject academia all together, and create one's own learning intellectual pursuits organically.
So what would engaging this specific class with Halberstam;s two modes of engaging academia?
Given Halberstam's argument that academia is inherently colonial and Halberstam's definition of abolition not as removal but as rebuilding something, let's assume our goal in engaging this class with violent and negative means is to rebuild the way we go about intellectual pursuits in ways that don't support the colonizers. That would mean our ultimate goal is destruction.
So engaging this class through violent means could look a few different ways. First would be keeping our heads down and getting good grades in this class so we can get into a good grad school, become powerful professors, and then organize academia in a way that benefits the people, not the state.
It could also mean learning the material of this class so well that we are constantly challenging our prof and fellow students, starting with this class to fail to fit into the order of academic success, but have academic merit that is beyond repute.
Engaging this class through negative means is a fun idea. This could look lots of different ways. It could be showing up to class and being disruptive and distracting, talking about what we want instead of what's on the syllabus. It could be conspiring as a class (as we used to do with substitutes in middle school) to keep the professor off topic as much as possible so we could a) fail to learn anything and b) succeed in the pleasure of goofing off for two hours.
Which is, of course, the central irony of this class. We are discussing the anti-colonial resistance of failure, but being assessed by the colonial rigidity of academia.

At the beginning of the month one of my friends celebrated her birthday and we went for karaoke night. It was fun, full of laughter and good music filled night. I've put up something very similar of what I wore that night, since I don't have pictures where you would be able to see my full outfit.
I went for not so high heels (I wore these) and comfy leggings with nice white shirt. I had a different bracelet and long necklace. I didn't wear a hat but I think it would look great with the outfit. I love jeans or leggings with a zipper :)
Do you like karaoke? What would you wear?

Filed under: Tidbits About My Life, Wedding | Tags: Chinese Seamstress, ebay scam, Online Shopping, Online Shopping Scam, Wedding Gown
Alternate title: How To Lose a Night's Sleep Without Really Trying
I love window shopping. Going to the mall or my favorite shops and looking at all of the shiny new things on sale. Touching the soft fabrics of clothes and imagining what I'd look like in them. Seeing my dream home furnished and decked out in all the latest finery. But let's face it – I'm a single mom with two small children, one of whom has severe ADHD. I rarely leave the house. My window shopping usually happens online.
I fell into the ebay game years ago, buying everything from clothes to a jewelry box to books, cd's and video games. When it came time to buy my wedding gown, I thought, "Hey, why not save a buck or two that I don't have?" I saw loads of Chinese seamstresses peddling their wares on the 'bay and decided to give it a shot. The designer gowns were all really made in China by seamstresses just like them, right? They all had great feedback scores, that should count for something. Wrong.
My first attempt at buying an online wedding gown was a disaster. I sent my measurements to the dressmaker of my choice, along with my payment and waited. Suddenly, three weeks later, my seamstress was booted off of ebay. What now???
Thank Bob for Paypal. Luckily, within my 45 day time limit I could get my money back for undelivered goods. The vendor didn't even respond to my dispute, so I had my money back in a couple of weeks. No real loss. Still, no dress.
Fast forward about four months. I can hear the wedding countdown clock ticking in my ear. I know how long it takes to get a wedding gown from a real manufacturer. (For those who don't, it's 10-12 weeks minimum! THREE MONTHS!!!) I only had six and a half months till the wedding, so in order to have time for alterations, time was of the essence.
I decided to still order online, but to go through an actual store, a boutique. A rather "Boutiqueful" shop, to be exact. I placed my order and felt rather chuffed with myself that I saved $550 by going with a less expensive gown than I'd originally planned, and even saved almost $200 off of the same gown from a local bridal shop. All was well, right?
Four days after I placed my order, I ran across the shop's facebook page. The last entry apparently made was in July or August, but a former client had left a msg on their wall, "Do not buy from them. They'll take your money and not give you the dresses!" OMG
Have I just been duped a second time around????
To put it mildly, I was ill. I tried calling the shop, but it was late at night there. I sent emails, and within 10 minutes that derogatory post had been taken off of their page. Still no email response, no call back. I woke up the next morning and called Paypal to file a preemptive dispute until I could get to the bottom of it. I called when I got to the office, and no answer. Finally, at 9am, I got a call from the shop owner. He did everything he could to reassure me, but I still wasn't feeling it. I was too skeptical. I asked him if he could send me documentation from Mori Lee (the dress manufacturer) that the order had been placed. He said no problem. He emailed me a print of their online order confirmation. He'd blacked out the confirmation code and customer number with asteriks before sending it to me, but it still showed me the order details.
I wasn't satisfied. I tracked down a customer service number to Mori Lee myself. I wouldn't settle for just the information he could email me. Anyone can create a document and email you. I could in ten minutes with my laptop. What the shop owner failed to realize was that when you print something online, the URL of your print is at the bottom of the page. And that particular URL contained the confirmation code he tried to black out. This was rather handy when calling Mori Lee. Within ten minutes I had customer service at Mori Lee verify the order was valid, that the dress was exactly as I had ordered it, the shipping date was exactly as stated in my order confirmation, and that it was placed the same day I placed my order. That's all it took.
Talk about breathing a sigh of relief!! I can't remember the last time I felt such a weight lift from my shoulders. I would never have taken shop boy's word for it, but getting a confirmation from the designer, that was what I needed. I know my order was placed. I know my gown is being made. I know it will arrive when they say it will arrive. I called shop boy back. I didn't tell him I'd spoken to Mori Lee, I simply told him I'd received his emailed confirmation page and I felt better. I thanked him for his help and told him that with all of the online scams out there, maybe references from past brides wouldn't be such a bad idea. It would certainly put people like me a little more at ease, and would go a long way toward fostering more business.
In the end, some people kill your trust. Others don't do much to earn it back. The truth of it is – it's down to you. Do your due diligence when researching the problem. Make sure you know who you're buying from. Make sure you use something like Paypal so you know you can get your money back within a certain time frame. And for goodness' sake – DON'T BUY FROM CHINESE SEAMSTRESSES ON EBAY! LOL

Wall of secrecy around ricin case
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The FBI has dropped a wall of secrecy around its investigation into the discovery of a pair of letters containing the deadly poison ricin in Spokane.
The agency says no one has been arrested in the case, even though they raided an apartment in downtown Spokane on Saturday.
FBI spokeswoman Ayn Sandalo Dietrich said Monday that legal documents in the case may also be sealed.
The letters were postmarked last Tuesday in Spokane and addressed to the downtown post office and the adjacent federal building. They were intercepted by the Postal Service and no one was injured.
Investigators in hazardous materials suits spent most of Saturday executing a search warrant at a three-story apartment building in downtown Spokane. Authorities said there was no public health risk.

It's been a long time coming, but Iggy Azalea has finally dropped her debut album The New Classic. The LP was led by the catchy singles "Work" and "Fancy," but there are still a few additional gems to be found throughout the course of 15 tracks.
"Change Your Life" feat. T.I.
Iggy gets some assistance from her Grand Hustle CEO, T.I., on this one, and who better for this feature than the man who also taught you how important it is to "Live Your Life." On the upbeat track, Iggy urges a guy to really upgrade his life, more specifically telling him to, "Hop out your past life/ And I'll renovate your future." Cause honestly, there's really no reason to even bother "dealing with basic bitches."
"F--k Love"
Ever have one of those days when you're really feeling yourself? So much so, that somebody should probably put a couple more mirrors in the room so you can stare at yourself? Iggy Azalea definitely has those days. That's apparent from the lyrics on "F--k Love," an ass-shaking number that's all but oozing with confidence. Sick of your boyfriend right now? Just send him this quick memo, "f--k love, give me diamonds."
...My fav in particular is the one I got to write on called BLACK WIDOW!!! Look fur it. 👀👂🎶 #TheNewClassic— Katy Perry (@katyperry) April 8, 2014
"Black Widow" feat. Rita Ora
Iggy landed a feature from Roc Nation singer, Rita Ora, on "Black Widow" — but Katy Perry also worked her magic on the track, which captures the fallout when love turns sour. Perry was responsible for penning part of the hook (which is slightly reminiscent of her hit "Dark Horse), making it clear to a recent flame that, "I'm gonna love ya until you hate me/ And now I'm gonna show ya what's really crazy."
On one of the album's bonus cuts, "Rolex," the Australia native gets brutally honest about the time that was wasted on a failed relationship. Although she's referring to men in general throughout the album, one line seems pointedly directed at her ex-boyfriend A$AP Rocky. "I got you tatted, you took off before the ink dried on my hands/ I was down to give you the world, instead you gave me hell," she spits. Azalea once had the words "Live Love A$VP" tattooed on her fingers.
The New Classic full track list:
»"Walk The Line"
»"Don't Need Y'all"
»"100" feat. Watch The Duck
»"Change Your Life" feat. T.I.
»"Fancy" feat. Charli XCX
»"New Bitch"
»"Impossible Is Nothing"
»"Black Widow" feat. Rita Ora
»"Lady Patra" feat. Mavado
»"F--k Love"
»"Just Askin"

R. Brian Burkhardt, known on the Internet as Your Funeral Guy, has been featured at MSN Money on how to do a lower the cost funeral.
With a little forethought, you, too, can save thousands of dollars on a funeral or the burial of a loved one, the experts say. Here are some of their top tips:
- Choose cremation. "The National Funeral Directors Association says the average cost of a funeral in 2006 was $7,323. That does not include a cemetery. The average cost of a cremation is between $1,000 and $1,500," says R. Brian Burkhardt, the author of "Rest in Peace: Insider's Tips to the Low Cost Less Stress Funeral" and the author of a blog about the funeral industry. "So cremation is the No. 1 way to save money on your funeral."
- Save even more by choosing "direct cremation." The deceased is promptly cremated, without a funeral service or viewing. Direct cremation usually includes transport of the body, cremation and a cardboard or plastic container for the ashes.
- Skip the preservative. "Forgo embalming," says Burkhardt. "Under the law — the Funeral Rule — you have the right to forgo embalming. That can save you between $600 and $800 on the funeral." Want a traditional funeral anyway? Just choose a closed casket, Burkhardt says. "If the body's not viewed, it doesn't have to be embalmed."
- Buy that box on the Web. "Get the casket online," Burkhardt says. "Do not buy it from the funeral home, because — and they hate me when I say this — caskets at the funeral home are marked up between 100 and 500%," with occasional exceptions, he says. No other single item is so expensive. "I got a $4,000 oversized casket on the Internet (for a friend), and it was delivered to the funeral home the next day, and I paid $1,037." Today some of the big-box stores, including Costco, sell caskets, too.

Meteor Spec LTWin32 and 64, English
General Usage Instructions
There are two ways to create MeteorSpec LT objects:
1. Polylines with data are located right in the project drawing on a separate layers,
2. Polylines with data are located in a separate dwg-file, and the project drawing is attached as an external reference.
You need to create the required working layers of the program, if it's not yet available in the drawing. This may be done by one touch of a button in the window "Drawing Units and Settings". In the same window you can set individual measurement units for the edited drawing.
Polylines for total length calculations should be drawn on the layer "meteor-spec-lt-length" and polylines for total area calculations should be drawn on the layer "meteor-spec-lt-area".
Three steps to the finish:
1. Draw the polylines in the work layer of the program, repeating the routes of those communications or surfaces, the specifications of which you need to calculate;
2. Assign the names and descriptions to the polylines using the command "Object Data". The window "Object Data" gives the full access to the Data Library. If you need, You can any time change something in the Data Library through the window "Edit Data Library";
3. And finally, with one touch of the button for the command "Total Length Calculation" or " Total Area Calculation" You may print the table of results right into the drawing.
Actually, that's all. If you later need to change your project, then make changes to the MeteorSpec LT model and you will immediately get a new table of updated results.
|Ribbon/Toolbar Icon
|Command Description
Object Data. Opens "Object Data" window for viewing and assigning data. By default the command "Object Data" works in a single object mode. To switch to the multiply objects mode, enter m (Multiply), and press ENTER.

Hugo, Please see the LC announcement[1] regarding the handling of attachments in SOAP. Specifically, in section III: -- The XMLP WG plans to publish a document (probably as a W3C Note) describing an Attachment Feature. This document will be started during the Last Call period and should be completed before SOAP 1.2 becomes a Recommendation. My own personal preference would be for a defined use of XLink (simple?) links to represent references to resources external to the SOAP envelope. Cheers, Chris [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xml-dist-app/2002Jun/0114.html Hugo Haas <email@example.com> To: Jean-Jacques Moreau <email@example.com> Sent by: cc: firstname.lastname@example.com www-ws-arch-reque Subject: Re: Comments on SOAP Version 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework email@example.com 07/02/2002 08:23 AM Hi Jean-Jacques. * Jean-Jacques Moreau <firstname.lastname@example.com> [2002-07-02 10:24+0200] > Re. outside references, you may be aware that the XMLP WG is thinking of > publishing an Attachment Note.

Do you think the spec should be more explicit? For some reason, I didn't make the connection between this paragraph and IDREFs. Rereading the text in the spec, I think that it is clear, it is just that I had the recollection that it was using hrefs. Can you please point me to the discussions about the IDREF/href discussion? I couldn't find it in the issues list[1].

It's a great discussion gentlemen – and I trust you'll keep it on a non-personal level. The facts can be stated without digging into personalities.
We've tried to keep this open, honest and above-board. So far, I've edited only one message – and that was to remove a duplicate post. We've blocked no one from the discussion; the only advantage I see is that Bud has the capability to respond within the same message. (Then again, as he can only answer about twice a week, unless you check each message for a comment, many may not see his responses.)
I'd like to comment on some of the things – a blogmaster should have that right…
The association between the budhibbs.com site and "other advocates" does not exist. There are hundreds of sites that link to budhibbs.com Some we know of and approve, others took it upon themselves to link to us. We know of three such sites that have "copied" our pages almost verbatim. You can search the budhibbs.com site for external links, but I'll save you the trouble: naca.net, myfaircredit.com, the credit bureaus, providiansucks.com, nclc.com.
Bud refers folks to NACA because he knows their stand on Consumer issues – and is proud to be one of the few non-attorney members.

What is Michael Steele doing? In his latest speech declaring a new day for the GOP, the Republican Party chairman offered up yet another rough and tumble takedown of the Democrats, filled with biting rhetoric and at times lackluster, backward-looking policy initiatives.
Among many terse one-liners came a declaration "that the era of the GOP apologizing, navel gazing and looking backward is over." But his speech did little to convince Americans—or even Republicans—that the GOP is moving forward. His screed against Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Timothy Geithner seemed just plain dumb.
Sure, it played well for TV. But what the GOP needs now is serious leadership. It needs new vigor, fresh ideas and a resurgence of "Kempsonian" principles: fiscal responsibility, strong national defense and sincere outreach to people of color and to the disenfranchised among us.
What troubles me as a lifelong Republican about the speech is that instead of focusing on what concrete solutions the GOP can offer to Americans to solve the serious challenges that our nation currently faces, Steele used the occasion to deride Obama's popularity, take shots at Pelosi (who is doing a good job of wrecking herself these days) and rant about how the Democratic Party is trying to shift the country toward socialism.
I don't buy into the socialism argument—because I trust the American people more than that. If President Obama and the Democrats continue to veer too far left, the 2010 midterm elections will force a major correction. It is the nature of this democratic republic that we all love and live in. Our founders were wise and their brilliant formula of governance has worked well for over 200 years now.
Thunderous applause broke out when Steele said, "Simply put, America needs us now more than ever before." I beg to differ. What America needs now are people who are serious, sober and committed to restoring America to superior financial strength and international dominance. What America needs now are leaders who will work together to put the people on "Main Street" first. The real people who have lost jobs, lost homes and who don't know how they will feed, clothe and care for their children if they get sick.
Fact: The political party and its leaders that best speak to real human need and optimism will govern for the next generation.
Chairman Steele is a friend of mine, and I like him. I want him to succeed, but I am struggling with why this very intelligent man continues to go out and make TV appearances and speeches that continue to diminish him as a thoughtful person, instead of offering us a vision of hope.
Michael is far better than his recent speeches. His increasing posturing suggests he is more focused on pleasing the "powers that be" within the GOP than truly ridding the party of their ilk and moving us toward a more open, inclusive and focused Republican Party.
The simple truth is that a lot of good people fought to make sure Steele became the party chairman in January. They elected him to bring about change that would grow the GOP and open the party to a new generation of American voters. So far, I am not seeing that change. My hope is that Michael Steele will step back and grasp the seriousness of his role and begin to move the GOP forward.

Skill Work:
Kipping Pull Ups
3 Rounds:
3 minutes per round, set number of box jumps at the beginning then as many deadlifts as possible. 1 minute rest between rounds.
Rd1: 15 Box Jumps (did step ups on taller box), 36 Deadlifts (95#)
Rd2: 20 Box Jumps/Step Ups, 20 Deadlifts (95#)
Rd3: 25 Box Jumps/Step Ups, 15 Deadlifts (95#)
Followed by Tabata Ambat Sit Ups.
While I'm still not able to do a full Kipping Pull Up with the green band, I'm getting close!
Tonight's workout was a little different from what we've been doing. My Deadlift count went down each time. The last round was the hardest because my back was shredded. I ended up dropping the weight instead of tapping down. My form was starting to get sloppy when tapping. However, 71 total Deadlifts is nothing to thumb your nose at! Plus, I was doing the prescribed weight! There was a young girl and her mom that came in right when we started. The girl went to the start ramp (other gym) with the other beginners. Her mother stayed in our gym and watched. When we finished we all lied down to catch our breath. I overheard Shane say, "This is normal for after a workout." Of course, that made me laugh. Shane decided we needed to do a Tabata Abmat Sit Up workout afterward. My lowest number was 8, which isn't bad. It felt kinda nice on my back to stretch out on the Abmat too.
Overall, a good workout. I took yesterday off and I think that paid dividends.

It's not widely known, but many of the homes in Vancouver's Hastings Sunrise neighbourhood have the most interesting views in the city. Take this loft in the Cannery Row building. It has a front row seat to our bustling container port operations, Burrard Inlet, and the North Shore mountains. You can enjoy the view out the 12 foot high windows from both floors of this large unit. A rooftop deck, polished concrete floor and muted earth tones on the walls add to the appeal of this unique home. See Craig Rushton for all the details.

Own a piece of historyJanuary 18, 2011
We all know that discussions of Vancouver's history pale in comparison with some of the great places of the world. What other city would put a plaque on a house once owned by Jimi Hendrix's grandparents, for crying out loud? But we are not completely devoid of culture. The West End has a few architectural gems that are approaching 100 years old. The Queen Charlotte Apartments is one, and realtor Craig Rushton recently listed a two-bedroom suite for sale, a rarity in this neighbourhood. The building has an impressive two storey entrance, art deco finishings, and the original bird cage elevator, among other charms. It's on the market just today, so now's your chance to be first in line!

See how far your dollar can go when you leave the city: 20 acres, a 5000 square foot luxury home, endless views, a guest house, barn, swimming pool, workshop and duck pond. All for the same price as a luxury condo in False Creek. Interested? Give Craig Rushton a call!

Being in front of the camera isn't easy for anyone. You're on the spot, no hiding, no faking it either, but right in the eye of the lens and photographer. No matter what we look like, fit or not, everyone has to work on being confident, and that helps and translates thru the shots you take.
With most swimwear and underwear shoots even the top models have to get semi-erect. Everyone is getting hard to semi hard for underwear, swimwear, and even some semi nude to nude fashion shots!

Teeth whitening principle:
Teeth whitening system uses a high intensity bleaching gel process accelerated by a LED light which activates the gel components.
Our system will remove most stains with a gentle LED bleaching action that whitens your teeth. As the active ingredients in the gel (carbamide & hydrogen peroxide), are broken down, heat, oxygen and light acts upon the stained organic deposits, which oxidizes them into a whiter color. This process makes the overall tooth color closer to its natural unstained color while your tooth structure remains unchanged. Years of clinical tests have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of this system. Over 95% of customers treated with this system achieve some level of tooth whitening. This procedure may or may not require additional whitening in order to achieve the desired lightened shade.
Treatment Scope:
1. For the teeth affected by coffee, sauce, tea etc
2. For the teeth effected by mildly tetracycline
3. For genetic yellow teeth
4. For unknown reason yellow or black teeth
The process takes only 30-minutes, (2 – 15-minute applications) to achieve a whiter and brighter smile. It is broken down into two 15-minute applications to allow for maximum gel concentration and light exposure, without being under the light for too long of a period to cause gum irritation. Individuals with sensitive teeth may reduce the intensity of the bleaching unit by choosing a lower power setting and those with very heavy stains may need additional treatments.
The amount of whitening varies from client to client and cannot be predicted or guaranteed; but in general use, teeth may lighten anywhere from 6 to 12 shades on the whitening shade guide. The results depend greatly on how discolored the teeth were originally. Yellow or brown teeth, surface stains, and uniformly darkened teeth are easiest to whiten. Additional whitening treatments may be needed in order to achieve the desired shade, especially with heavily stained teeth.
This will very from client to client and greatly depends on the types of foods and drinks you include in your everyday diet. This also greatly depends on your general dental hygiene habits. The affects from this bleaching process should last from 6 months to a year. Again, depending on your habits, periodic touch up treatments maybe recommended for those who drink coffee, smoke, drink red wine, iced tea, colas, and other staining foods. Typically, most people like to whiten again every 3 to 6 months
Yes, LaserLight's FDA approved-for-market White Brilliance whitening light and gel ingredients are safe and effective for cosmetic teeth whitening. The dental industry has used this same technology and gel products for many years. This process does not change or damage the structure of the teeth — it just makes them appear whiter and brighter.
Most client experience no pain or sensitivity from the treatment. A very small percentage of clients experience some slight tingling sensations. We advise to avoid very hot or very cold drinks if tooth sensitivity does occur. If tooth sensitivity develops, fluoride home care gel can be recommended for reducing sensitivity. In the unlikelihood that sensitive persists for more then several hours, we will recommend that you contact your dentist. We also recommend that you visit your dental office regularly. Lastly, the bleaching gel, if misplaced and comes in contact with the gums, can cause temporary inflammation and white spots. This should resolve itself within a few hours.
No. The LED light source is calibrated to produce a constant 103 degrees F. This is very comfortable, even to the touch.
As part of the procedure, the White Brilliance System requires the use of 3 industry standard high intensity, ultra blue/violet LED heated lights for bleaching! The wavelength of the light emitted from the unit is in the range of 430-490 nm and the light is blue/violet in color. This is not a light bulb or spectrum light with a blue colored filter, cover or coating.
No. This light source is not a laser. The White Brilliance LED system uses a special autoclavable mouth piece that directs the heat and light directly to the teeth and not the face. Systems that do not have directional light lose the bleaching intensity and heat, making the process ineffective.
Hydrogen peroxide will have no negative effect on the integrity of fillings and crowns, but these materials will not whiten in any type of bleaching procedure. However, the peroxide will remove staining from composite materials.
Deeply discolored teeth caused by a dead root or naturally embedded through the tooth may never whiten. Naturally tinted teeth may never become bright white, but removing surface stains will dramatically improve the smile.
We recommend that pregnant and nursing mothers, children under the age of 14, diabetics and those with pre-existing medical or periodontal problems consult their physician/dentist prior to undergoing any whitening procedure. Consumers with severely tetracycline stained teeth may choose bonding and veneers as the best option. Tetracycline stain can not be removed. Remember, teeth can not be bleached whiter than genetically possible.
Yes — and no, The process was designed to enhance the natural whiteness of the enamel, but clients do claim that it also brightens up veneers and dentures. Clients typically apply the gel product only to their natural teeth, allowing these treated teeth to lighten up to match a cap, crown, or veneer.
Yes, studies have shown that bleaching also contributes to destroying bacteria in the mouth, and helps control gingivitis and halitosis.
We pride ourselves in having the most effective, FDA approved and clinically proven ingredients on the market today. Our gel contains no alcohol, no animal by-products, and no animal testing was done in manufacturing it. It is the purest and highest quality of carbamide, hydrogen peroxide, kosher glycerin mixed with an activator. Our Gel product has a shelf-life of approximately one year and must be stored in a cool environment. (Though not harmful, it is not recommended to swallow the gel. You will rinse out your mouth after each procedure).
Because this process borders dental, it is mandatory that the customers handle and apply the products themselves. It is a self managed procedure, but LaserLight staff will guide and assist indirectly in the application.
It is a convenient and easy way to get customers in and out with almost no effort. Putting a clear tray over your teeth will prevent the light from having direct contact with the gel. This causes the light source to deflect away from the teeth, reducing its effectiveness as it can not penetrate the required light nor heat through the tray. When foam gel strips are put between the teeth and the tray to help hold the tray in place, this again blocks the light from having direct access to the teeth, thereby reducing its effectiveness. Studies have found that 15 minutes is not enough time to get true dental quality results! White Brilliance is designed to work as it was intended: heat and light technology applied directly to the gel.
We do not market or sell "over-the-counter" products which are readily available to the consumer. These items are "gimmicks" that when included, lead you to believe you are getting something better because there's more "stuff" included!
Part of the gum line may turn white if extra bleaching gel comes in contact with these softer tissue areas. The peroxide component will bubble and turn white. This is a common occurrence in the dental industry known as "blanching." The affected areas should return to normal in 15 – 30 minutes. Rubbing vitamin E on these areas will help relieve any sensitive issues and return the natural color of the gums.
These bright white streaks are caused by the calcium deposits embedded in the teeth. This will subside to normal over the next 48 hours — or sooner.
For personal hygiene reasons — you, and only you, will use your supplies. You buy a kit at your first appointment, use its components, and then store it at home for future use at LaserLight. You have enough gel in each kit to do three or four additional treatments — thus you pay only for use of the light in yor follow-up sessions! The kit contains a 3 ml tube of dental quality bleaching gel, bibs and bib clip, a cheek spreader (2 sizes), an aloe and vitamin E lip moisturizer, and rematerializing mouth rinse — all contained in our stylish nylon cosmetic storage bag.
As part of the procedure, the White Brilliance System requires the use of 3 industry standard high intensity, ultra blue/violet LED heated lights for bleaching! The wavelength of the light emitted from the unit is in the range of 430-490 nm and the light is blue/violet in color. The light has a life expectancy of approx, 800,000 + hours! (This is not a light bulb or spectrum light with a blue colored filter, cover or coating that needs to be replaced). Spectrum bulbs will burn out and are replaced after 80,000 hours of use.

Our house is similar to so many others where the song Let It Go seems to be on a constant repeat day after day. It plays so often that even when home alone I find the words swirling in my head. Okay let's be honest the lyrics are pouring out at window shattering levels as I dance around the house. Don't judge. If you have not heard the song, it has it's merits just maybe not 50 times a day.
Though hearing it so often resonated with me on just how I feel. I started blogging last week, but unsure of myself and where I thought it would go, I basically created, wrote, and published without making it known. It worked I got to take pictures of food and write my thoughts regardless of who the audience was. I started to get the hang of it (the blog thing), and realized I might enjoy spreading my love of food, food related issues, and opinions in a multitude of areas. I am ready to "let it go"
Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care
what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me,
I'm free!
Here it is! Let's Have Mixture.
The mixture has spilled, and we will see where it goes. If a couple perfect strangers can find my post interesting then maybe friends and family will be entertained as well. If you enjoy it, I will keep writing. If not well I might just keep writing anyway because this is my blog and I can do what I want.
Let me know your thoughts. You can "like" me, "tweet" to me, follow my pins, or just follow my website http://letshavemixture.com and I will randomly surprise you with a new email on occasion. Thanks in advance for your support and be sure to check out my original post to get a better understanding of "Let's Have Mixture" who the lady in the kitchen is, and what I might be dreaming up next. Most likely something sweet and too high in calories, but oh so enjoyable.

Carrot Cake is one of those cakes where for me the ingredients miraculously bind together, taste terrible in the bowl (who doesn't lick the bowl!) and make a wonderful tasting cake after they're baked. Obviously, this is the joy of baking, but for years, Carrot Cake was something other people baked and I did not. I have very fond memories of slabs of carrot cake, thick with cream cheese icing and juicy with lots of carrot and pineapple (apparently this is an Australian thing!), being sold up the street at a fantastic food place whose owners were actually German. They made the best dark rye bread I've ever had the pleasure to taste (thick with sesame seeds on the outside and almost black in colour), an amazing black forest ham, and this carrot cake. Since then, and I'm talking up to 20 years ago now I guess, ever carrot cake has just paled in comparison. I've eaten some good ones, but that delicious moist cake remains vivid in my memory as the best carrot cake I've ever eaten.
I first made carrot cake for my birthday back in 2007 (around the time I started this blog), and it was a partial disaster! It was a sheet cake and unbeknown to me, the oven in our flat actually sloped forward, and I ended up with a cake that was thin at one end, thick and the other, with half of it burned on the floor of the oven. It tasted pretty good, but wow – disaster. Definitely a LizziebeeFail! I was a bit horrified at the amount of oil and eggs in the cake, and thought I'd give it another go later. Which didn't happen.
In January, the lovely Afeitar posted a carrot cake that she made for her boyfriend's birthday, taken from the Hummingbird Bakery recipe, and I thought the time has come: carrot cake is my partner's favourite cake, and I decided to make it for his birthday this year.
And it's a good cake!
I had to substitute a few things, just because I didn't have them in my pantry when I started to put the cake together: like a blended vegetable oil (mostly canola with a little soyabean) instead of the Sunflower called for, and I had no cinnamon, so I upped the ginger and popped in some nutmeg.
The cake itself is also huge. *laugh* There is only two of us, and there is a LOT of cake to eat! I have a feeling that I'll be taking cake to work to share with everyone @ the bakery.
Carrot Cake (as per Hummingbird Bakery, via Afeitar)
300gm soft light brown sugar
3 eggs
300ml sunflower oil
300gm plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarb
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
300g carrots, grated
100g shelled walnuts, chopped, plus extra whole to decorate
Preheat the oven to 170c
Put the sugar, eggs and oil in a freestanding electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a handheld electric whisk) and beat until all ingredients are well incorporated, slowly add the flour, bicarb, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt and vanilla extract and continue to beat until well mixed. (If you don't have either a freestanding mixer or a handheld, you can do what I did and just mix it by hand.) Stir in the grated carrots and walnuts by hand.
For goodness sake, split the mix into two tins. I didn't, and my cake took about 75 minutes to bake, and it's a BIG cake. If you split it into two sheet cake tins, you can freeze an entire cake for later, or feed a lot of people. If you pop it into two bigger circle tins (and I'm thinking 10″ or more), you can make a double layered tin. Split into two, your cake should take around 35-40 mins to bake. Check it at 35: if it's still wobbly, you're looking at another 10-15 minutes.
Take out when a skewer inserted comes out clean and cake is dark golden. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 minutes, and then turn out to cool.
500g icing sugar
100g unsalted butter at room temp.
1750g cream cheese, cold
Beat the butter and 100gms of the icing sugar together by hand, or in a mixer, to start to incorporate the mix. Add half of the cream cheese and beat mixture in the mixer, or start to use a handheld mixer. Slowly add half of the icing sugar left (to make sure it doesn't redecorate your kitchen in white), then the rest of the cream cheese, and finally the final icing sugar that remains. Beat until pale in colour and fluffy. You don't want a heavy cream cheese icing.
Spread over the cake thickly and evenly. If you've got two halves, you will have enough to cover the top, middle & sides. If you have one BIG cake, you will have frosting left over. (Like I do!) I would suggest halving the mix, or at least cutting it down.
Sprinkle some walnuts over the top for a special look.

Your task is to monitor the words and sounds used as crutch or pause fillers by anyone who speaks during the meeting. Note inappropriate interjections such as "well, and, but, so, you know, ah, um, er. You should also watch out for repeated words or phrases, such as "I,I" or "This means, this means." In BnT, we also count the number of Ha-has to recognize those who use humor effectively.
Here are some reminders to be a good Ah-Counter:
Before the meeting:
-Find somebody who can evaluate you using your Leadership Manual.
During the meeting:
-Throughout the meeting, listen to everyone for crutch sounds and long pauses used as fillers and not necessary as part of the sentence structure. Count each utterance for each member and guest. Tally before your report.
-When introduced during the evaluation segment, you may share your report in front or by your chair, depending on the lead of the General Evaluator. Briefly explain your role and its importance, and then share your ah-count. You may highlight the ones who used the most and the least or no language crutches.
-Presenting the Ah-count is like presenting a mini speech. Use all speaking skills you have used previously. Try to have an interesting start, a substantial body, and a powerful close.
After the meeting:
-Submit this kit to the Sergeant at Arms.
-Ask for your Leadership Manual. Discuss your evaluation if anything is unclear.
-Grammar Guide (optional)
-Your Leadership Manual

Prezi's are to presenters as 3D printers are to designers; no one really knows what they are or how they work, but everyone wants one! I get more questions about Prezi than any other presentation design tool. It is 100% unique, used by presenters all over the globe, and contrary to popular belief, quite easy to use.
Is Prezi worth all the hype? In my opinion, yes, it is, and here are the top 5 reasons why:
1. Escape from linearity. How long have we been creating linear presentations? 20 years or more? Is that the right way to present? Do we think and comprehend in a straight line? We are creatures of habit, and I believe "PowerPoints" have become a convention that we follow without question. Normally, all of our slides are the same size, one fades into the next, and we present them in the same order… every time. Prezi allows you to group objects together with "frames" and then build a "path" that moves the viewer fluidly through the content (on one, big canvas), but those paths are rarely a straight line, and the presenter or viewer can step off that path at any time and create their own!
Example: Check out my first Prezi. To create your own viewing path, click-and-drag to move the canvas, click on objects to focus on them, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to zoom in/out, and click the home button to reset the canvas.
2. Creativity rediscovered. If PowerPoint is lined paper and a pen, then Prezi is a canvas and finger paint. Text, images and multimedia are freely placed on the canvas, and easily sized, rotated or formatted with a few clicks. Add to that the ability to build presentation paths that move in any direction, zoom and rotate… and you can't help but feel creative again. For those of us that insist on lining everything up on a nice, neat grid… well, you can do that too because Prezi provides a grid overlay and alignment tools. The open-ended freedom you have while building a presentation in Prezi is intimidating at first, but that quickly fades after you add a few pieces of content.
Example: An interesting way to present an intro MRI technology., and a popular Prezi that chronicles the Curiosity rover landing on Mars.
3. Visual context is king. In PowerPoint or Keynote, your individual slides exist as independent objects, only linked only by a common background template. With Prezi, your frames are part of a whole canvas, and you can control when/how that "whole" is revealed to the audience. This allows you to build presentations into meaningful shapes and visual metaphors. You can also create your content inside a large image that isn't revealed until the end of the presentation. Visual context helps to improve audience retention.
Examples: The Tree of Life, and 60 Apps in 60 seconds.
4. Prezi is mobile. At the heart of Prezi's development environment is the web interface. You just need a web browser and an Internet connection, and you're off and running. They also offer a desktop version, which allows you to work offline (though you will need to pay and upgrade your account for this feature). And now, they have added support for the iPhone and iPad. The Prezi app is free from the Apple App Store. You can view and present right from your iPhone or iPad! The iPad app also provides editing capabilities. Click here for more info on Prezi's mobile options.
5. Free account upgrade. Educators get a free Enjoy account. This is an upgrade over the standard/free account and offers more storage, better support, and allows you to make your presentations private. As long as you are a member of an educational institution, and you have a "dot edu" email account, you're in!
If you read this post and can't wait to try it out for yourself, simply head over to Prezi.com to create your free Enjoy account. Also be sure to check out their Learn and Explore pages for instruction and inspiration.
Before I completely turn you lose, though, I'd like to leave you with a few closing thoughts. First of all, rest-assured that Prezi is not difficult to use. Yes, there is an initial learning curve, but if you watch their instructional videos, you'll get over the how-do-I-do-that hump quickly. With great power comes great responsibility, though, so go easy on the rotation, panning and zooming until you get the hang of it. I've seen a LOT of Prezi's that should come with a free Dramamine tablet! Subtle movements are better, and much less likely to annoy the audience.
Also understand that Prezi is not necessarily meant to replace PowerPoint, it's simply a new tool for your tool shed (and a shiny one at that). There are a number of advanced functions that you simply cannot do in Prezi, like embedding charts or building dynamic tables. There are often work-arounds, though, and simpler is usually better, so try to keep an open mind.
And finally, if you STILL aren't picking up what I'm laying down, check out the presentation below for a great overview of the product. 10 million users is a LOT!

Tailor made and efficient even for batch size 1
Packaging machines demand absolute accuracy and great flexibility. Both for high production rates and in small batches down to 1.
Here we offer you our professional support. Whether it is for the reliable flow of material with track-and-trace, the correct handling of different packages or the reliable handling of the packaging material;with Balluff sensor and system solutions you can reliably achieve the desired flexibility and speed.
Pillow bag and cardboard packaging machines involve a large product variety, resulting in the need for maximum flexibility. The machines produce many different pillow and packaging shapes, due to new packaging concepts needing to grab consumers' attention. The lot quantities become ever smaller and entail frequent format changes. The required flexibility and speed are reliably achieved with Balluff products.
Our light array sensors measure the edge position of fast-running foil or woven bands. The determined values can be used to precisely control the drive and guides on your production equipment. The result is even and straight web running. Our sensors are available in a number of different versions. This allows you to respond flexibly to any customer requirement.
Trouble-free packaging on the pillow bag machine means ensuring that the roll material is continually tensioned and the correct length of film is always maintained. An inclination sensor from Balluff assists in continual tensioning by directly measuring the angle of the dancer arm.
Our photoelectrical sensors reliably detect the presence of transparent film in pillow bag packaging.
To make sure depleted film rolls are replaced in time, their diameter must be continually monitored. The BOD photoelectric distance sensors from Balluff are ideal for this. They measure with extreme precision, regardless of color, material or the degree of reflection of the foil.
Reference and print marks help to reliably detect packaging materials in automated production processes and to position them correctly. The BKT contrast sensor from Balluff reliably detects these reference marks.
With industrial RFID systems you restrict access to machines for both safety and to prevent tampering. Distinguishing between people enables limited access to certain screens. The view of the interface can be automatically changed. Access control allows operator work times to be viewed and regular maintenance to be performed.
Blister packs filled with tablets are packed in boxes precisely portioned. This means they have to be fed with exact precision. Our BMF magnetic sensors monitor the position of the pneumatic grippers on the machine, thereby preventing deviations.
Packaging is playing an increasingly large role in purchasing decisions. They are often the single differentiating feature versus the competition,therefore the variety of shapes and sizes is increasing. Balluff's magnetostrictive linear position sensors simplify the measurement and storing of shape data, making fast and reliable format changes possibleand therefore increasing the yield rate.
Quality assurance at the end of the packaging process involves checking plain text on the packaging and verifying the printed barcode. Manufacturing and expiration dates, as well as serial numbers need to be quickly and reliably verified. BVS vision solutions from Balluff are a suitable solution for a wide variety of applications in image processing.
Palletizing and depalletizing of boxes and cartons demands absolute accuracy and great flexibility. At the same time, the largest possible quantities need to be processed. Use the professional support of Balluff. Whether this be for the reliable flow of material with track-and-trace, the correct handling of different packages or the reliable handling of the packaging material. At the same time our sensors also ensure exact positioning for an uninterrupted packaging process.
When wrapping the product with stretch film, conserving material is key. This means the stretch film must be precisely positioned. Our BML magnetic encoder is the ideal solution.
The BOD photoelectric distance sensors check pallet heights with extraordinary accuracy. Even over longer distances. The sensor is versatile thanks to selectable measuring ranges and it's flexible use with different pallet heights.

New Set of Teeth in 3 Visits
b) A Fixed Teeth Ceramic Dental Bridge Restoration on Dental Implants (When All Teeth are Failing)
The fixed option is to have ceramic teeth permanently cemented to the implants and requires more implants and more bone.
For me at least this is the most challenging and exciting area of dental Implantology. The ability to restore a patients fixed dentition providing a long term functional and aesthetic outcome is an ultimate goal at the dental implant centre. Costs do vary greatly here and depend on the several factors that can only really be discussed and ascertained once a comprehensive examination has been carried out.
The factors to consider
- What is your expectation ?
- The volume of bone available ?
- The volume of gum tissue available ?
- The smile line and relationship of the lips to teeth.
- The facial contours and tissues ?
- Is bone grafting or sinus grafting required ?
We literally can re build a persons face using several techniques and implants and the degree of complexity for providing fixed teeth is directly related to the amount of bone loss and subsequent facial collapse a patient experiences.
You will reading about "miracle" cures and read such terms as allon4, same-day-teeth, teeth in an hour – these are clever marketing strategies by companies promoting there systems – there is simply no one fix for all in dental implantology – it is case specific. Humans look all different , we have different noses, eyes, teeth, muscles, ligaments and bone shapes. So as we are all different there can be no singular solution that fits everybody. Also in this type of treatment we must consider what level of investment is comfortable for our clients and then appropriately plan the best we can do for that budget. If i were to offer every patients the "ideal" then we would only be providing very complex restorations and sometimes patients simply would like a economical and quick solution that is totally understandable.
We use a minimum of 6 implants to hold a bridge containing up to 14 teeth upper or lower
Fixed Bridge in Just 3 Visits with the Least Intervention Possible
This patient required no extractions , no bone grafts and no sinus grafting – they had lots of available bone and did not require a fixed temporary denture or bridge during the 5 months of healing required.

The defending national champion, Villanova, will lead the way for the Big East in 2018-19. There are few proven teams beyond the Wildcats, though Marquette might be capable of pushing them.
Here are five questions for the Big East:
1. How does Villanova replace its departing stars?
This is an unusual offseason for Jay Wright. A program based on continuity has to replace four players who left school early and were selected in the first 33 picks of the NBA draft. Wright has done it before on a lesser scale, finding the next batch of superstars to replace one or two studs. But four? At the same time? That's going to be difficult.
Fortunately, he has some young returnees who received extended minutes late last season in Collin Gillespie and Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree, a terrific recruiting class led by Jahvon Quinerly, Brandon Slater and Cole Swider, and Albany graduate transfer Joe Cremo. It's not Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges, but Wright and Villanova will find a way.
2. Can Marquette improve defensively?
If the Golden Eagles can figure out how to guard, they will be the best team in the league outside of Villanova, and they could push the Wildcats if their transition is tougher than expected. Scoring has never been a problem for Steve Wojciechowski's team the past couple seasons, ranking in the top-15 nationally in adjusted offensive efficiency.
Defense, on the other hand, has been a nightmare. Marquette has ranked right around the halfway point nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency the past two seasons and slotted in a distant last place in conference-only defensive efficiency last season. Wojciechowski is hoping the addition of Fordham graduate transfer Joseph Chartouny can bring some toughness.
3. Will St. John's take a step forward and finally live up to its talent?
The five-day stretch last season when St. John's beat Duke at Madison Square Garden and Villanova on the road in consecutive games was a microcosm of the Red Storm's potential. They have the talent to compete with anyone on a given night, but they haven't been able to put it together consistently.
Don't forget: Those two wins came on the heels of an 11-game losing streak. Can Chris Mullin finally get it rolling? Potential Big East Player of the Year Shamorie Ponds is back, as are Justin Simon and Marvin Clark II. The Red Storm will rely on transfers, as usual, but they're hoping Auburn transfer Mustapha Heron gets a waiver to play immediately. If that happens, this is an NCAA tournament team.
4. How deep is the league outside Villanova?
Who knows? You can probably order the league's 4-9 teams in a variety of ways and still look fine entering the season. To be honest, Marquette is no sure thing because of its defense, and Xavier is transitioning to a new coach with a load of graduate transfers, so the Musketeers could be overhyped entering the season.
Butler has pieces on the perimeter, Providence brings in a pair of top-50 recruits -- David Duke and A.J. Reeves -- in the backcourt, and Creighton and Seton Hall lose a ton of firepower.
St. John's is an enigma, and Georgetown needs to learn how to win games. Are you convinced by any of those teams on paper? Put Villanova at No. 1 and DePaul at No. 10, and the rest will play itself out.
5. Is Georgetown ready to be a factor under Patrick Ewing?
The Hoyas exceeded expectations in year one of the Ewing era, despite finishing .500 overall and 5-13 in the Big East. They lost eight games by single-digits and went just 1-4 in overtime games. Flip a few of those around, and we're talking about a team with 18 or 19 wins.
Marcus Derrickson left early for the NBA draft, but Jessie Govan and Jamorko Pickett both return up front, and Govan could be ready for an all-conference season. The key will be point guard play, and one-time UConn signee James Akinjo could be a difference-maker from day one. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if the Hoyas find a way to push for a top-half finish.
Five players to watch
1. Shamorie Ponds, St. John's
Ponds is one of the best returning scorers in college basketball. He hit the 30-point mark six times last season, including a 44-point effort against Marquette. He'll need help if St. John's is going to take the next step, but he can do much of it on his own.
2. Markus Howard, Marquette
Howard averaged better than 20 points per game last season, and now leading scorer Andrew Rowsey is out of eligibility. What sort of numbers await Howard in 2018-19? His 52-point performance against Providence in January could be a preview. That's only a slight exaggeration.
3. Naji Marshall, Xavier
The Musketeers are in the midst of a transition, with Trevon Bluiett and J.P. Macura gone, along with head coach Chris Mack. New head coach Travis Steele will rely on his rising sophomore class, and Marshall could be the most likely to break out.
4. Jahvon Quinerly, Villanova
A five-star point guard in the 2018 class, Quinerly will get the rock from day one and hope to replace Brunson. He's a bit more flashy than the usual Villanova guards, but he has swagger, can make 3-pointers and knows how to run an offense.
5. Kamar Baldwin, Butler
With Kelan Martin gone, LaVall Jordan will have to find alternate means of scoring. The most obvious choice is Baldwin, who is a terrific playmaker. He showed flashes of his scoring last season, hitting 25-plus points five times.
