that I will do one project a month
there may be a month
when I will complete more than one
but this is my goal
I already have a couple of things in mind
and I have already completed one
which was too easy
I got it done
that makes me happy.
So to complete my first big project
I am on the hunt for buttons
not pick them up at the store buttons
vintage buttons
maybe even ones that have some meaning
whose grandmother did not have a tin
that looked like this?
I am recovering my chair pads
they are a charming
dusty rose floral right now
I know, I know
but there is nothing really wrong with them
other than the fabric
I looked all over for replacements
but they are all so big
and do not fit my chairs the way these ones do
so I have bought a drop cloth
it is the perfect color
at the right price I may add
and since I want to tuft the pads
I am looking for buttons...
I do have a note out to my cousin
to see if maybe just maybe
there is a tin down at the farm
if not ~ I am off to the flea market tomorrow
I will let you know how I make out
and once I start my project
I will take before and after shots
for your viewing pleasure.
Have a wonderful week-end!

Sometimes, we all want to live in fantasy, where we can be brave warriors or powerful wizards… But what can open the gates into this world? Of course, a good old board game can help you to forget about your routine and get you back in childhood! You're lucky today, because we have the "Land of Zion", which is one of such games!
That game is a huge mix of many board game elements like resource management, dice rolling, tactical stuff and etc… It takes 2-4 players to clash in a battle on quite large game board for 45 minutes (or even for an hour!) of unstoppable action!
The game's goal is very simple – you need to bring all the opponents HP's to 0 by moving your characters and using resources across the game board. As for the characters, there are 7 classes of them and there are 140 of them. Cards combinations are almost infinite to play!
The characters themselves are all quite different and they have their special abilities. For example, Marauders using their strength in close combat, while the Prophets are some kind of wizards and they fully rely on their magic skills.
Though that game is cancelled on Kickstarter, we hope that it will be live soon and it's worth your attention because of the high replayability and gameplay variants. Sometimes, it's difficult to build and promote such big projects, but still they can become the greatest ones. Support them and don't forget to subscribe and comment. See you all later next time and take care of yourselves!

A search for four Americans missing since Typhoon Jangmi pounded their yacht Sunday near Ishigaki continues under supervision of the Japan Coast Guard.
No sign of Americans missing after being caught in typhoon
Date Posted: 2008-10-03
Debris believed to be part of the Jade Princess has been spotted roughly 40 miles northwest of the spot where a Coast Guard spokesman says the initial distress call was triggered Sunday morning. Spokesman Takamichi Higa says theres no sign of the four men aboard the yacht, which was sailing from Malaysia to Okinawa when it encountered typhoon force winds and high seas near the prefectures southernmost islands.
Higa says the Japan Coast Guard was advised a rescue raft was aboard the yacht, but says searchers have not found it yet. Higa says officials are still hopeful of finding the four alive.
While Japans Coast Guard is running the search, the U.S. Navy aided efforts Monday with a Kadena Air Base based P-3 Orion aircraft. The U.S. Coast Guard is available to assist, as well. Two Japan Coast Guard aircraft overflew the area Sunday, as waves were too high to permit patrol ships. Ships are now criss-crossing the search area, looking for signs of the four men who were to ultimately reach Yokohama.
Higa and the Okinawa Meteorological Observatory say winds in the Ishigaki area were approaching 80mph at the time the Jade Princess was transiting the area. Yonaguni Island was recording 49.2m/sec winds, while Ishigaki Island clocked 35.5m/sec winds Sunday, before Typhoon Jangmi turned its attention on nearby Taiwan. The typhoon wreaked havoc on Taiwan for more than 12 hours before turning north, west of Okinawas main island, and downgraded to a tropical storm.

text: Things You Do to Stay Warm that Actually Make You Colder in Columbia Posted November 18, 2015 Winter is inevitably near in Columbia, and with it always comes frigid temperatures that can leave us bundling up with additional layers. Furnace service and added layers are usually dependable ways to keep warm on chilled days, but there are a host of other suggestions accessible out there that you may be using that are actually making you colder, not warmer. Common Myths: Hot drinks will make you warmer: while the first sensation of a hot drink can help you feel like you're warm, your brain will sense that it should start cooling off your body, generating cooling mechanisms. Alcoholic drinks will warm you up: the reason we normally feel warm after a few cups of holiday cheer, it's only your skin warming. Alcohol can actually reduce your core temperature, making you colder. A well-functioning furnace, thanks to having annual furnace service done, is a better bet. Hot showers heat you up: comparable to hot drinks, the heat of your shower is only a fleeting feeling that fades when the water is dried up and toweled off. That's why you never want to open the shower curtain. Wearing only a hat will take care of your warming needs: while there are a number of sources that claim a great deal of body heat is lost via your head, it's important to remember that any part of uncovered skin increases heat loss. Therefore, while it seems obvious, if you're only using a hat and not a coat or gloves, you have a better chance to lose body heat quicker. So now that you know about a few myths surrounding staying warm this winter, it's not difficult to recognize the importance of something as simple as furnace service. Of course there are other ways to stay warm this winter besides furnace service, but there may not be a ton that have such a huge impression on your everyday comfort. Give Watts Electrical & Air Conditioning a call at 601-736-7362 or set up an appointment online to hear more about what furnace service can do for you in Columbia. Back To Blog

Currently, I am the Co-Director, International Nurse Coach Association INCA, and Co-Director, Integrative Nurse Coach Certificate Program INCCP, North Miami, Florida; International Co-Director, Nightingale Initiative for Global Health NIGH; and Director, Holistic Nursing Consultants HNC, Santa Fe, NM. In the 60s I was blessed to meet my husband Larry Dossey, MD. Together, we both found a passion for exploring health and healing, states of consciousness, and writing. I have co-authored 25 books with my most recent: Holistic Nursing: A Handbook for Practice 7th ed., 2016; Nursing Coaching: Integrative Approaches to Health and Wellbeing 2015; The Art and Science of Nurse Coaching 2013; and Florence Nightingale: Mystic, Visionary, Healer 2010, Commemorative Edition. My authorship has been recognized, and I am a eleven-time award recipient of the prestigious American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award. I have received many other awards including the 1985 AHNA Holistic Nurse of the Year, the 2014 AHNA Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2015 Baylor University School of Nursing Outstand Alumni Award 50th year celebration, and 2016 Visionary Award with my husband Larry from the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine. A major focus of my current work includes my Theory of Integral Nursing TIN; grand theory, and my co-authored Theory of Integrative Nurse Coaching TINC; mid-range theory, and the Integrative Nurse Coach Leadership Model INCLM. A parallel process is the theory translations for integrative nurse coaching, holistic nursing, and global nursing. I will continue to explore the impact of Florence Nightingale's life and work on contemporary nursing and humankind as we approach the bicentenary of her birth in 2020. Each year Larry and I take the month of August off to go to the high country of Wyoming for hiking and camping. I am an avid needlepointer and take my needlepoint or a book and hike with Larry as he is fly-fishing in the high mountain lakes and streams a time for renewal and exploring new creative ideas and possibilities.

"Anciano wines are made in the timeless Spanish tradition. This 100% Tempranillo wine from the Valdepenas DO is aged in the cellars of Bodegas Navalon. The grapes come from 30+ year old vines and the wines were aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for about 1 year with the remaining time in bottle. The aromas and flavors are very dense with a punch of rich compote fruit, vanilla, coconut, and licorice. The extended ageing has softened the tannins. The finish is pleasant and long. This is an ideal match with a range of foods including stews, red meat and mature cheese." --Monica McCall

Northeast vs. West Coast, South vs. Midwest, America proved that quick service restaurants are among its most favored businesses.
In our recent report, Dining Out in America: The Quick Service Restaurant Landscape, we took a look at the most popular fast food brands in the nation, including a deep dive into the differences in dining preferences by region and demographic segments.
Regionally, consumers in the West and Northeast share a love for quick food and quick coffee. In each region, McDonald's was #1, Subway #3, and Burger King #4. What was #2 for each? The rival coffee giants – Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts. It appears that America does run on Dunkin', but only in the Northeast. In the West, as well as South and Midwest, Starbucks stole the coffee show.
The coffee giants' coastal dominance is likely impacted by their geographical starts, Dunkin' Donuts (Massachusetts), Starbucks (Seattle), while Starbucks' aggressive expansion strategy has positioned it among the top 10 most-visited places in each region. With Starbucks poised to add 1,500 additional U.S. locations in the next five years it will be interesting to see if Dunkin' Donuts will maintain its top coffee position in the Northeast.
When we shifted the lens from region-by-region analysis to focus on the role of ethnicity in dining preferences, we discovered a number of interesting insights. For instance, Asian Americans are nearly 4X more likely to visit Jamba Juice and over 1.5X more likely to visit Starbucks than the average American. On the flip side, they are also less likely to visit the Big 4 (McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and Taco Bell) than the average American. In the case of Wendy's specifically, Asian Americans are 46% less likely to stop in for a meal. This should sound an alarm for Wendy's as well as highlight the potential for reaching this largely untapped segment.
To see more trends in the fast food landscape, check out our full report: Dining Out in America.

About Sell 100+ Homes A Year: How we use Engagement Marketing, Technology and Lead Gen to Sell 100+ Homes A Year, Every Year! by Krista Mashore
Whether you've been in real estate for 18 days or 18 years,
if you haven't achieved the success you really want,
you need to read this book.
You entered real estate for the upside: interesting work, flexible hours, and the potential to make good money, right?
But the median gross income for the 1.2 million REALTORS® in the United States is just over $42,000 per year! That's about $21 per hour (if you only work 40 hours per week) with no paid vacation, no paid sick leave, and rarely any company health insurance plan.
Is this what you signed up for?
You're a goal-setter and a go-getter. You work hard and you're smart. You've learned the business and put long hours into it. Yet, it still seems like a struggle. Always chasing your next client, listing, or commission check. Spending weekends and evenings on work, not with family. Getting tossed around by a market you can't control.
You've done everything you've been taught, but it's still not enough. What's the secret?
Doing things differently than you've ever been taught.
Krista Mashore says, "I've been in the Top 1% of all Realtors nationally for 15 years, not because I'm smarter or work harder than everyone else. It's because I research and implement specific techniques that catapult me to where I am."
In this book, Krista Mashore will give you step by step instructions and show you how to:
•Close over 90% of your listing presentations before you even walk in the door.
•Generate legitimate leads while you sleep.
•Use the secrets of Fortune 500 companies to build an active and loyal client base.
•Use socialized marketing to gain your community's respect and become the go-to Community Market Leader® in your area.
•Make over 100 deals per year (or whatever your goal is) using the power of social media and technology.
•Create a business model that fits your desired lifestyle and gives you true time flexibility.
•Build a sustainable business with a consistent, reliable income stream— no matter what the market is doing!

Author Bio:
Realtor®, author, trainer and coach Krista Mashore developed a highly successful real estate career in Northern California before turning her attention to sharing the secrets to her success through her writing, coaching and trainings. Krista began her career in education, teaching elementary school and earning her Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction on her way to becoming a principal. But in 2001, she chose to switch gears and pursue a career in real estate. Krista sold 69 homes in her very first year in the business and has sold well over 100 homes every year since, earning her a spot in the Top 1% of Realtors® in the nation. Krista's innovative approach flies in the face of conventional wisdom about how Realtors® should promote themselves and market their listings. She credits her success to her consistent drive for growth and learning, and applying the best practices and cutting edge technologies major corporations use. Through her books, coaching, webinars and courses, Krista now offers step-by-step instruction so others can achieve that same success. Krista lives in Northern California with her husband and three teenaged children. An active member of her community, her latest project is Teens Lifting Lives, a mentoring and peer support group that gives young people the tools and encouragement they need to achieve their own success. "The reason I love continually learning is that I know there's a better, more effective way to do almost anything—even if you're already good at that thing. That's why I dive into situations that might stretch my thinking and challenge how I do things. Learning even one small thing each day allows me to keep expanding into the next 'better way.' As importantly, I implement that better way and continue to improve on it." —Krista Mashore

An affordable designer brand, Caravelle Watches, are designed by Bulova.
Bulova is a famous and long-established watch designer located in New York City. Bulova has been making precise, striking timepieces since the early twentieth century. They have provided watches for US Presidents and NASA astronauts on their missions. Their beautiful, elegant, bold style has made them a leader among watchmakers for over a century.
Caravelle watches feature designs for men and ladies that include elegant styles with crystals, sporty styles with leather bands, chronographic watches and automatic watches.
Caravelle's chronographic designs feature smaller subdials that are embedded in the watch face that show a second and different measurement of time. For example, the Women's 43L190 Chronograph Watch features a subdial on the left side for the stopwatch minutes, a subdial on the bottom for stopwatch seconds and a subdial on the right for stopwatch hours. The elapsed time measurement on Caravelle watches can record for several hours.
The automatic watches require no battery and are powered by the wearer's own movement. An example is the Men's 43A123 Automatic Watch. This watch also features a skeleton dial that makes the inner gears and workings of the watch visible.
Caravelle watches are clean, bright and modern in design. They come in a variety of colors and styles. The elegant Women's 43L165 Watch is silver-tone stainless steel, but has a mother-of-pearl dial and ninety-six crystals set around the watch face in two rows. In contrast to this, is the Women's 45M109 Watch with a black face with clear gold-tone numbers with a simple black ceramic crown and band.
Often the stainless steel watches have striking bright-colored faces like the Women's 44L174 Watch with a subtle plum-purple flower pattern on the watch face. The purple is surrounded by a ring of crystals set in gold-tone stainless steel. The Men's 45A106 Chronograph Watch has a blue face surrounded by black stainless steel with a black band.
Caravelle's watches are stylish, accurate and modern and can range from sleek casual to fancy dress in design. They can feature analogue and digital time displays like the Men's 45B136 Watch with its gunmetal ion-plated finish, or have no numbers on the watch face, like the gold-tone a href="/jewelry/index.html?sku=44L186&pcn=Caravelle Watches&pid=11&sat=1">Women's 44L186 Watch with its blue crystal face.

Learn how your bike defines you in 40 seconds
Some people would pay the equivalent of a round-trip ticket to Europe for the chance to own a sweet fixie bike. Me? I prefer cycling around suburbia on my beach cruiser (it even has a wicker basket!). Bicycles are a great form of transportation for health, social, and environmental reasons. But what does your bike-of-choice say about you?
French artists Thomas Pom and Orthonormai created a whimsical campaign covering everything from thin, Lance Armstrong-speed cycles to that stationary bike you bought as a New Year's resolution. Each print labels the type of person you could be, based on the style of bike you like. The "weirdo" is a person who rides one of those crazy tall bikes. And the "warrior" is your typical mountain bike against the backdrop of a ramp and pile of dirt.
Apparently, riding a beach cruiser means I'm a cougar. SCORE!
It takes all sorts to bike the world, but do you agree — "you are what you ride"?

Much like all dogs fight and it was a dog fight, the term "dogs are dogs" is used by pit bull owners after their dog attacks and injures or kills an animal (usually another dog). The term is used to deny the pit bull's responsibility in the attack and to deny the pit bull's genetic heritage: Selective breeding for the purpose of killing other dogs (dogfighting). It is true that dogs will be dogs in that dogs may bark, growl and posture when interacting with other dogs. What is untrue is the expectation that all dogs will launch a deadly assault upon another dog. Pit bulls on the other hand, will and do.
They just happened to be in the yard with me all day long, and the dog did go down and fight the other dog, but dogs are dogs. – Collins Tully
This article has already gotten a little longer then I originally wanted, so I'll try to wrap it up. Dogs are dogs…..any dog that is made to feel dominate or fearful – Liz Churchville
Children are Children, Adults are Adults, Dogs are Dogs. Teach them properly and they will Prevail. – Tired of Ding Dong's
I can't say the same for my boyfriend who had the unfortunate task of removing the foaming at the mouth 8 pound hellion from our dog's face. Dogs are dogs and the problem with dogs is they are governed by… – xgirl

I don't know if I have enough words to describe just how much I enjoyed this book (ironic, no?).
It was wonderful; a rollercoaster of emotion, a triumph of visualisation, a fantastical tale with hints of reality peeking round the edges.
The story is very loosely based on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz so to fully appreciate it you probably need to have some knowledge of that story. I've seen the film a few times so there's very likely to have been some references I've missed out on but I still loved it (have you got that message yet?).
There are three strands to the book:
1. Dorothy, a young girl orphaned and sent to live with her aunt and uncle in the 1880s. Her story tracks her through her life growing up in rural Kansas and tells how she came to be the inspiration for L. Frank Baum's novel. Note: this is a fictional Dorothy but an entirely plausible tale.
2. Jonathan, an actor dying from AIDS and intent on discovering Dorothy's story and seeing the world she lived in.
3. A minor strand tells the story of the young Judy Garland (Frances Gumm as she was then) and the filming of the Wizard of Oz.
Originally I didn't expect to be interested in the Judy Garland story, I've never been one for biographies and I have very little interest in her anyway. However although it was my least favourite strand I did still enjoy it and the small part played by young Frances definitely held my attention.
But the real battle for my affection was between Dorothy and Jonathan. Despite opening the book, Jonathan doesn't get much of a look in for the first half but when he is brought back he certainly makes up for it! In the latter part he and Bill (his therapist and a minor character but someone I fell for quite hard) go hunting through Kansas looking for traces of Dorothy which is exactly the sort of research I find fascinating. I love looking at old records and getting a sniff of the people behind the names. Real people who lived, loved and laughed just like we do. This is a big part of why I loved this book.
So I loved Jonathan but Dorothy, oh Dorothy! How I felt for you! I rooted for you from the first moment you were flung off that train in Manhattan (Kansas) and left to fend for yourself. I was with you on every step of your journey through life, at school, at Mr Sue's and on your late night excursions, I was so willing someone to help you change your life. And yours was the story that drove me to skip ahead through several chapters to read the next part of your tale rather than be distracted by Jonathan or Judy. Oh Dorothy.
I truly didn't expect to love this book. I picked it up because it was written by Geoff Ryman whose book 253 was a masterpiece and perfect for nosy commuters like me (see this post to find out why). So I expected it to be well written and maybe a bit different but I wasn't thrilled by the 'story behind the Wizard of Oz' premise because I'm not a huge fan of the film. But I ended up loving not only the stories in Was but also the references to the other book/film, all the references to rainbows and witches and the need for brains, heart and courage.
I even loved Ryman's afternote detailing his sources and what was and wasn't based on fact because it gave the book the notes of realism I craved, it also stopped me getting carried away and believing everything he'd written.
When I turned the last page I sat and hugged the book and it was only very reluctantly that I was able to put it away and start something new this morning.

Gus Van Sant's biopic is based on the memoirs of cartoonist and quadriplegic John Callahan. Like many of Van Sant's films he examines the search for identity by delving into people that inhabit social subcultures. Despite the tragic event that reshapes John Callahan's life the film is a life-affirming fictionalised portrait of a life of limitations.
The fictionalised story is based on the facts this amazing artist's life. John Callahan played by Joaquin Phoenix is a young rowdy 21 year old with a penchant for off-colour jokes and a drinking problem. When a casual acquaintance at a party suggests they go on an all-night bender in LA he is already on board for the fun. But after falling asleep in a drunken stupor on his drinking buddy's passenger seat, he wakes up the next morning in hospital, a quadriplegic.
John has become a wheelchair user for life and to discover any meaning in his existence is going to take everything he has got. Van Sant sets the film on his home ground of Portland Oregon to very successful effect as he has done in the past and which one could hope he might do more of in future. The film was originally supposed to have Robin Williams in the leading role when the project was first proposed to Van Sant 20 years ago following the huge success of Good Will Hunting. Williams had optioned the rights to Callahan's book and was fascinated by the chance to play the wheel-chair bound hooligan. But somehow the time was never right to get the project into production during Williams' lifetime.
Nonetheless Joaquin Phoenix is the heart and sole of the film giving a performance that will have him in contention when the awards season rolls around. He brings a much more serious approach to the role no doubt than what Williams would have done but it works. Van Sant has chosen to focus on the part of Callahan's book that deals with his alcoholism and recovery using the 12 point recovery plan of Alcoholics Anonymous as a device to narrate the film. It might seem an odd choice but it keeps the film on track.
Whatever Phoenix's intense interpretation lacks in playing for laughs is made up for by the comic actors Jack Black and Jonah Hill who plays a hilarious life coach. But perhaps the biggest laughs go to Udo Kier's character.
Callahan eventually found himself through his irreverent cartoons that won him an international following. This could have been a very sad and over earnest film in the wrong hands with a sickly over sweet preachy Hollywood storyline. Exactly what Callahan would have hated. But Van Sant makes this both life-affirming and off the wall irreverent at the same time. Callahan would have approved.
Don't Worry He Wont Get Far on Foot (USA)
Directed by Gus Van Sant
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Jonah Hill, Rooney Mara, Jack Black, Mark Webber, Udo Kier, Carrie Brownstein, Beth Ditto, Kim Gordon

2020 NBA Draft: Early Look at the Top Prospects in Next Year's Class
While the basketball world stops every March to focus on the NCAA tournament and orient itself toward the forthcoming draft, in the background, NBA teams are always looking down the road. So, I spent two days in Atlanta last week amongst a huge contingent of NBA personnel watching this year's McDonald's All-Americans practice in private (read: preparing for the 2020 draft). While this group is more than a year away, having some feel for the strength of the class is essential for forward-looking teams and those trying to quantify the worth of a future draft pick from an asset value perspective.
We last checked in on the state of the 2020 class in January at the HoopHall Classic. Events like the McDonald's game, Hoop Summit and Jordan Brand Classic all offer utility in the sense that you're throwing the best players across the country onto even footing and seeing who stands out in a gym that offers a higher base level of talent for context. Conversely, the folly of these types of evaluation settings is that, by and large, they simply don't mean much. At this event a year ago, the gym was buzzing over Nassir Little's explosiveness and the high-energy play we saw from Keldon Johnson. Both players continued to exhibit those positive traits as college freshmen and are expected to be one-and-done, but neither can be considered a surefire lottery pick as we move into the spring. Harping on a player's distinct, immediate strengths in unstructured play can make it harder to weight their less-obvious flaws.
The difficulty of putting stock into these practices cuts both ways: Zion Williamson, who you've surely heard is the consensus top prospect as the 2019 draft nears, was unconvincing last year in the same setting. "Man, he looked horrible," one scout recalled. It wasn't far from the truth, either. What not everyone realized at the time was that Williamson had played an injury-shortened high school season and was nowhere near peak condition by the time McDonald's week came around. Knowing what everyone knows now, that excuse is easier to rationalize; back then, you might have instead harped on his long-term weight concerns in a negative fashion. It turned out Williamson badly needed the summer to get into shape, and so he didn't truly take off as a clear candidate for No. 1 until the exhibition games Duke played in Canada, which offered compelling evidence. All of this is to say that at the end of the day, anyone walking away from an All-Star setting with a fully-formed opinion of a prospect is either bad at their job or lying.
Still, in taking the pulse of the room at these sorts of things, there's still a good deal of information that can be gathered. Not all of it is shiny and positive. So, it's worth noting that the vast majority of NBA evaluators I spoke with on the matter came away largely unimpressed with this year's group of seniors during a week where the energy level was very up-and-down by most accounts. There is a general level of concern that 2020 could bring a second consecutive underwhelming draft class, and what we saw at McDonald's did little to shift that opinion. As far as 2019 is concerned, the presence of Williamson, and to a lesser extent the ascendance of Ja Morant have at least given tanking teams a bit of hope going into the draft lottery.
Unfortunately, at this stage of the process, there's not as much salvation to be had when gazing down the road to 2020. There's a much stronger group of international prospects on the way, and far too much time on the clock to draw serious conclusions, but it is worth noting that no player has staked a convincing claim for the No. 1 pick at this point, and that many scouts walked away from the week generally underwhelmed. We'll hold off on trying to rank next year's class for as long as possible, but for now, you'll find notes and extended thoughts on the top long-term prospects in attendance below.
James Wiseman | Memphis
Height: 7'1" | Weight: 245 | Pos: C
While it would have been more or less impossible for Wiseman to shake his reputation for inconsistent effort over the course of a few days, he certainly didn't hurt himself by showing up. He appeared to be in good physical shape, has moments where he makes basketball look somewhat unfair, and moves more fluidly than guys his size should. With as skilled as he is, Wiseman unsurprisingly suffers from what I like to call Big Guard-Itis, preferring to generate his offense far away from the basket to mixed results and often at the expense of efficient attempts. He is a clear candidate to go first overall, but there are some obstacles he'll need to clear beforehand.
Wiseman is enormous, having measured with a 7'6" wingspan and 9'3" standing reach, and when he does play hard, the results tend to be eye-popping. He can get up and down the floor, alter shots on the move, and can create easy looks just by dint of being large and coordinated. He's a lefty, and his jump shot has to become more consistent, but it would seem to project to three in a more legitimate way than, say, Deandre Ayton's did. As Wiseman jockeys to be the No. 1 pick, expect some parallels to be drawn between the two bigs, noting the similar questions pertaining to their competitive motor. Wiseman is a bit more skilled at the same stage and is unusually mobile, but lacks Ayton's absurdly freaky athleticism and body type, creating a scarier floor if things don't pan out.
Teams will be visiting Memphis early and often come fall to see if Penny Hardaway can get the most out of Wiseman, and if he does, there's quite a bit of potential to unlock. But noting the shifting value spectrum for NBA centers and what winning teams are asking their centers to do, he'll require further evaluation. Wiseman's effort level at McDonald's was a positive, but scouts are going to want to see him dominate in college, and put all his tools to use on a consistent basis.
Anthony Edwards | Georgia
Height: 6'4" | Weight: 210 | Pos: SG
Also in the early mix at No. 1 is Edwards, although his week was somewhat up and down, and there were moments he seemed to fade into the background a little bit more than you'd like. That aspect of his game is unlikely to be a problem at Georgia next season, where you can expect him to get a healthy dose of on-ball touches as he continues to try and develop into a viable lead-guard option at the NBA level. Watching Edwards apart from the context of his high school team (which was not very well put-together, relatively speaking) was instructive, and athletically, he's as fluid, strong and explosive as advertised. He has immense upside defensively, where he's laterally agile on the ball, but how much he can access his playmaking potential will be the chief focus going into the fall.
It's key to note that Edwards played as a tailback in football growing up and only picked up basketball full-time as a high school sophomore, which, given the fact he reclassified up a year, was not all that long ago. That athletic background is evident in his body type and his physical, downhill style, but also with his decision-making ability, which can at times be mechanical and currently lags a step behind some of his peers. Edwards is capable of making great passes, but doesn't always process the floor at a high level. His development as a guard will be scouts' primary focus this fall.
Skill-wise, Edwards' jumper is the primary thing to watch. He likes to take off-balance shots and looks more comfortable shooting off the dribble, but consistency might be an issue in the short term. After a pair of poor shooting performances in practice, he did hit a few from distance in the scrimmage, and when it does go down, it looks impressive. Edwards doesn't need a ton of space to get his jumper off, and it comes out with consistent rotation more often than not. If he continues making all-around strides, he will be in the mix at No. 1, but again, a lot of what we're discussing with him right now involves heavy projection.
Jaden McDaniels | Uncommitted
Height: 6'11" | Weight: 195 | Pos: PF
In terms of pure talent, McDaniels might be the most intriguing player in this class, but he's still a ways away from being a finished product and is a tricky guy to project right now. He did not have the best week, and blended in a little bit on a team where Edwards, Scottie Lewis and Cole Anthony dominated the ball. McDaniels is an unusually fluid, tall forward who can do guard-like things at his size, shoot over defenders, and has a demonstrable feel for passing and defending, as well. His ability to get to his jumper cleanly off the dribble at his height is rare, and in the best-case scenario, he could become an extremely difficult player to defend. He's been gifted with great coordination and fluidity that can't be undersold, and can contribute defensively as well with his agility and a decent level of toughness for a guy built as thinly as he is. McDaniels is in the mix at No. 1 from a talent standpoint, but has a lot of work to do at this juncture.
However, there's fear among scouts that McDaniels' body type may prove a legit impediment when projecting forward. He's not remarkably explosive and is rail-thin, which can make it difficult for him to actually use his mismatch. If he can't bang consistently inside with bigs, and if stronger wings can successfully slow him down, it's a little tricky to see all of his offense translating. When you look at his older brother Jalen, who is similarly built and a projected 2019 draftee with pronounced strengths and weaknesses, it's easy to envision Jaden having some of the same pitfalls, particularly if he's not being used creatively on offense. He does have terrific touch, and if he expands his off-dribble game and ends up something like a power forward version of Brandon Ingram, it wouldn't be a bad outcome at all. His upside could certainly be higher than that.
The fact McDaniels is a bit of an introverted personality on the floor and didn't have a great week shooting the ball made it a bit tricky for him to set himself apart in this environment. His senior year on whole has been slightly underwhelming in the minds of some who know the high school circuit well. Washington (the hometown option) and Kentucky are thought to be the two finalists, but he's kept largely mum about everything. Where he ends up will be a key storyline going into the fall.
Isaiah Stewart | Washington
Height: 6'9" | Weight: 245 | Pos: C
To Stewart's complete credit, he is not someone his peers appear to enjoy playing against: he gives his all in every setting, no matter how competitive the structure, and won't ever have to be reminded to rebound and take care of small things inside. At least one scout I spoke last week with made a case that Stewart had been the best player (though not necessarily prospect) at the entire event. He consistently wins 50-50 balls with effort, stays active with his feet and length (a 7'4" wingspan and 9'0" standing reach will be huge for him), and is a vocal defensive quarterback who will be an ideal fit at Washington.
Stewart is not a elite upside guy—he isn't a consistent shot-creator and may get nitpicked as a rim protector within the zone—but his intangibles point to an extremely high floor as a future NBA rotation piece. The way he's remade his body and added to his offensive skill set over the past two years has been noteworthy, and it doesn't take long at all for him to win you over. If Stewart can add a pick-and-pop element to his game as a screener and remain efficient using second-chance opportunities next season, he should be someone teams feel extremely comfortable with in a year's time. He'll rebound at a high level, he'll defend, and he'll give maximum effort.
Cole Anthony | Uncommitted
Height: 6'3" | Weight: 185 | Pos: PG
Anthony's case will be interesting to parse going forward, as he will be directly vying for draft position against highly-rated French point guard prospects Theo Maledon and Killian Hayes. The son of former NBA guard Greg Anthony is the top American point guard right now, and appears to do enough thing at a high level to project with a degree of comfort into an NBA role. He seemed more focused on making plays off the dribble than scoring this week, which was positive given that he can be trigger-happy at times despite being just an average jump shooter. Right now, it's fairly easy to slot him into next year's lottery, although where exactly he falls will be fluid.
There's some debate among scouts right now as to where Anthony's ceiling might be, but he does have a reasonably good set of skills already that profile as a potential starting-caliber player. He's quick and an explosive leaper, but is not physically imposing and appears to be a bit smaller than his listed height, which are where some of the questions stem from. The shooting concerns come with some foundation, although he's far from a zero beyond the arc. Continuing to show he can be effective running a team will help Anthony's case. He's a vocal, intense competitor and should be impactful from day one wherever he commits, with North Carolina looking like a strong option given Coby White is likely bound for the NBA, and Oregon in the mix, among others.
Scottie Lewis | Florida
Height: 6'5" | Weight: 185 | Pos: G/F
Lewis has continued to solidify his stock in NBA circles, with a high-intensity approach to the game that almost always serves him well. From an intangibles perspective, he should have a clear path to a career in the league. While at times his emotions can dictate the quality of his play, and he does have moments where he tries to do too much on offense, Lewis pairs his intelligence and plus on-court communication skills with strong physical tools on the wing. There's an obvious floor with him and the way he approaches defense, and his body should be able to fill out a bit more, as well. As Lewis's offensive skill set continues to catch up to the rest of his game, he should have a case in the 2020 lottery based on his trajectory.
The long-term question is where Lewis's ceiling ends up. He's a high-flyer, fast with the ball and solid in transition, if not always entirely under control. An explosive first step helps him slash to the rim and into the paint, and he has continued to put in evident work on his jump shooting. It's obvious from an observational perspective that he's more of a self-made shooter – his ball doesn't always get great rotation and goes up with almost too much arc at times—but he has made the right type of strides over the past couple years that you can at least project him as an average threat from NBA range. If Lewis can do that, there will be a role for him in the league. It'll be interesting to gauge where he's at when November rolls around.

Road trips are usually the best time to be introspective. The long hours just gazing out the window will make you look back and reflect on life's happenings. I came from Bataan over the weekend and I've thought long and hard about my past and how I've ended up jaded about that four-letter word to this day.
I know I'm not supposed to dwell on exes, but I somehow can't fathom how a very pure kind of love can transcend into an ugly, unforgivable monster. It was both my fault and his. At one point we weren't hardworking enough in making our relationship succeed. We started out madly in love, until it plateaued and we got lazy. Lazy to drive over and visit. Lazy to give words of affirmation. Lazy to listen. Lazy to forgive. Love requires hard work, and we were both too stubborn to make a move and keep things amicable.
I searched our names on Google and this came up. Titled Our Origin Story, it was ex number 2's retelling of the first time we met. I almost forgot he wrote this.
I must admit it made me smile knowing what we had was something beautiful at the beginning. It may not have a happy ending, but my heart is at peace now. The people we meet and choose to love have a purpose in our lives regardless if we end up spending the rest of our time on earth with them.
Here's the excerpt of his blog entry:
On that night, I happened to sit on the same table with a girl that caught my eye. Like a very courteous guest, she introduced herself to me. Her name was Nannie Flores. She told me that she worked in Mandarin Oriental Manila and that she was a PR person. I told her that I was a data analyst for a startup company in Makati. After that, we didn't talk again because she was seated on the other side of the table, and it was difficult to talk to each other.
Later that night, I sat on the far end of the table with my best friend Gino. There was an empty seat beside me and then suddenly Nannie came over to sit down beside me. Initially, she talked to her friend who was sitting near me and Gino. Of course, being the gracious person she was, she tried to include me and Gino in their conversation. It worked pretty well and the next thing I remember was that we were talking to each other exclusively. We talked about literature and we both found out that we liked Haruki Murakami. She told me that she just recently finished A Wild Sheep Chase. What a coincidence. I read that for my Literature class during freshman year. From that moment alone, I could tell that she had good taste in literature. The next thing we talked about was our hobbies. I told her that I recently picked up reading graphic novels like Sandman and Y: The Last Man. She told me that she sang for the UA&P Chorale. She also told me about her upcoming Europe trip that she planned for the middle of the year. I told her that I was excited for her because I've never been to Europe and I always wanted to experience the different types of culture. I even told her about my initial plan to go backpacking in Europe after I graduated, but decided against it to visit my sister in LA.
It was a fun evening talking to each other. After that, she had to leave with her friends and I had an internal conflict on whether I should ask for her number or not. Earlier in the evening, my friend Gino gave me a pep talk telling me "Bro, you just have to try. I see something special here. It's not every day you get to meet someone like that."
I was sold. He was right. I had nothing to lose. Nannie was already saying her goodbyes to Ysabel and I still haven't asked for her number yer. She goes out of the restaurant with her friends and I try to go after her. But suddenly, Ysa introduces her guy friend to me just as I was going tap Nannie's shoulder. He said "Hey bro, kamusta na? Nice to meet ya! "
I told him "I'm good. Hey man is it okay if I go out one quick second? I just need to do something important." He was polite and he let me pass. I ran after Nannie and caught up with her outside the restaurant. The dialogue went something like this…
Me: "Hi Nannie, I really had a good time talking to you in there. Is it okay if I get your number?"
Her: "Sure, let me put it on your phone"
Me: *brings out my phone, my hand shaking "HERE!"
Her: *puts her number but misspells her name to Namnie Flores
Me: "Thanks!"
Her: *she turns around with a smile and goes back to her friends
That night I came to the conclusion that guys like me just needed a break every once in a while. In all honesty, I think I'm a good guy with a good heart. I just needed to be brave to make things happen for myself. Months have passed since I met her, and I've only grown to love her more. It's been a blast, and I have more stories to tell with her.

Teenager dies, 15 hurt as swing ride comes apart at Karachi's Askari Amusement Park
An evening meant for fun and relaxation turned into a nightmare on Sunday as a swing ride at the newly-opened Askari Amusement Park in Karachi fell apart, crushing at least 16 underneath it, police said.
Karachi Deputy Inspector General (DIG) East Zone Amir Farooqi told Dawn that bolts of the ride had come apart causing it to collapse.
One person, earlier reported buried under the debris, was later evacuated and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
A 16-year-old girl, who was taken to Dr Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi was pronounced dead. The hospital's additional police surgeon, Dr Qarar Ahmed Abbasi told Dawn that the teenage girl, Kashaf Samad, had already expired when she was brought in. The victim was a resident of Sharafabad.
Dr Abbasi added that a 23-year-old male, Ibrahim Yasin was also brought for treatment to the hospital.
"We received seven persons brought for treatment to Liaquat National Hospital," said the hospital's spokesperson, Anjum Rizvi. All have been moved to the emergency ward.
"At this moment, nothing can be said about the condition of the injured," added Rizvi.
"Seven injured males, aged between 12 and 15 years were brought for treatment to JPMC [Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre]," said police surgeon, Dr Aijaz Khokhar.
Taking immediate notice of the incident, Inspector General (IG) Sindh Amjad Javed Saleemi ordered the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) East to provide emergency rescue services to all those affected at the park.
He also issued directives for the police to ensure cooperation of park officials so that details of the incident can be properly determined.
Caretaker chief minister Fazlur Rehman has ordered that all the injured be provided treatment at the finest hospitals in the city which will be paid for by the Sindh government.
Additionally, Sindh chief secretary retired Major Azam Suleman Khan also took notice of the incident, directing the city commissioner to visit the park and the hospitals where the wounded were being treated.
The chief secretary has ordered the closure of the park — along with all other amusement parks in the province — for three days so a technical inspection can be carried out.
He also established an inquiry team led by Deputy Commissioner East, which has been directed to submit its report within 24 hours regarding the incident.
Gulshan Superintendent Police (SP) Ghulam Murtaza Bhutto identified some of the injured persons as Saima, Hifza, Saira Shah, Babar, Suleman, Areeba and Mujeeb.
Located inside Old Sabzi Mandi, the park was inaugurated during Eidul Fitr amid much fanfare. It attracted huge crowds during the Eid holidays last month and on weekends.

Indigenous Peoples.
This declaration includes the right of people "providing

Move to bring Racial Discrimination Act back later this year: Macklin
27 Feb 09: "Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny
Macklin says the Government will introduce legislation to
reinstate the Racial Discrimination Act into Parliament
later this year. The Act was suspended in 2007 to clear the
way for it to quarantine welfare payments as part of the
Northern Territory indigenous intervention. Yesterday the
Government said it would keep quarantining welfare as part
of its attempt to improve Indigenous living conditions. Ms
Macklin says welfare quarantining can be done in a
non-discriminatory way and she says there will be
legislation later this year to lift the suspension."

This page aims to help you remove .Sonic for free. Our instructions also cover how any .Sonic file can be recovered.
Within this article's paragraphs, our viewers will have the chance to acquire info concerning a malicious malicious program labeled .Sonic which is one of the newest viruses of its category. The malware virus that is going to be the emphasis of the following paragraphs is what experts categorize as Ransomware. The special thing about Ransomware cryptoviruses such as this one is that they implement a procedure called data-encryption through which they prevent the targeted victims from accessing their own private data. As soon as the malware finishes its job, a ransom message gets displayed on the targeted user's screen, informing the Ransomware victim that their PC files have been locked up and that they are expected to execute a ransom payment so as to recover them.
The .sonic ransomware leaves a —README—.TXT file with instructions on how to pay a ransom (which you should definitely not do).
In the majority of cases, there are certain guidelines within the said pop-up message that ought to be strictly followed should the user choose to make the money payment. On top of that, the users are often threatened that in the event the required ransom isn't paid in time or in full, the online criminals who control this terrible virus would not restore the virus victim's access to the encryption-locked data files. In case you're one of the numerous users attacked by .Sonic, it is highly advisable that you get well informed about all the things related to Ransomware which is the reason why we suggest that you continue reading.
The ransom that the hackers want you to pay them
Dealing with a Ransomware encryption on one's private files typically forces the infection victim to make a difficult choice between carrying out the requested payment or seeking out alternative ways of handling the issue. A thing that you do need to realize is that regardless of what you opt for – to make the payment or to search elsewhere for an alternative method of dealing with the virus, there is typically no guarantee for success.
Seeking alternative methods for dealing with the problem, however, is obviously the more advantageous choice. Besides, choosing to go for the ransom money payment might turn out to be an utter and pointless waste of money that you'd probably never get refunded. An important thing to point out here is that there are a large number of cases of Ransomware victims that have given their money but haven't gotten any data-decryption details and/or decryption access-keys. Obviously, if perhaps you go for the transfer and do not get the needed decryption key for your documents, your money would definitely still be gone for good. Bearing this in mind, we've done our best to present you with a sensible and easy to follow removal guide with directions which can help you remove the malware and potentially bring back the data files to their previous state. Keep in mind that the removal guide might not be able to always fix everything. That said, we nonetheless strongly recommend you implement all steps provided within the guide manual and only in case this does not result in a successful outcome should you consider trying some other option.

Hundreds of illegal Muslim asylum seekers rioted Friday night and set ablaze a number of buildings at an Australian detention facility on Nauru where they were being held, following the government's recent illegal alien invasion crackdown. Reports say most of the buildings of the facility including the accommodation blocks, medical centre, dining hall and offices were destroyed in the fires.
Hat Tips to all my Australian friends who alerted me to this story
Press TV On Friday, Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd signed an agreement with his Papua New Guinea counterpart, Peter O'Neill, to send all asylum-seekers arriving by boat to the poverty-stricken island nation. "From now on, any asylum seeker who arrives in Australia by boat will have no chance of being settled in Australia as refugee," said Rudd.
He added that anyone assessed to be a refugee would be permanently settled in Papua New Guinea and those whose applications are not successful would be sent back home or to third countries. After the announcement, the Coalition for Asylum Seekers called the measure shocking, and said Canberra has decided to shirk from its responsibilities assigned under the United Nations Refugees Convention.
Other rights groups including Amnesty International and the Refugee Rights Action Network have also criticized the deal. Australia struggles to curb a dramatic increase in the number of boats arriving in the country with refugees. More than 15,000 asylum-seekers have arrived so far this year. In 2012, the country received 16,000 asylum requests.
Al-Jazeera A boatload of 89 asylum-seekers has been intercepted off the coast of northern Australia, a day after the Australian government announced that boatpeople will no longer be resettled in the country. Tony Burke, the immigration minister, said on Saturday that the group – "entirely or almost entirely" Iranians – would be offered the choice of either pressing ahead with an asylum claim and being sent to Papua New Guinea, or transfer to another country.
Earlier, a protest at an Australian-run immigration detention camp in Nauru turned violent, with some of the asylum seekers injured, officials and witnesses said. Buildings were torched as hundreds of asylum-seekers escaped detention during riots at the refugee facility, witnesses said on Saturday. The riots on Friday night saw detainees take control of the immigration processing centre on the remote Pacific island of Nauru and arm themselves with knives and steel bars.
An immigration spokeswoman said that most of the major buildings including the accommodation blocks, medical centre, dining hall and offices had been destroyed during the protest, which involved about 150 detainees.
Nearly half of the facility's 545 asylum-seekers escaped and a number of buildings were set alight, according to local photographer Clint Deidenang. "Today was history. The biggest riot ever to be staged on Nauru soil. The most violence I've seen. Amazing support from local(s) to the police," Deidenang told AFP.
The asylum-seekers abandoned their four-hour protest after a huge group of locals descended on the centre armed with pipes and machetes to help authorities contain the violence in response to a government call for assistance, he added. "The ringleaders apprehended at the site will be questioned by police about allegations of property damage, destruction of property and riotous behaviour," she said.
The Fairfax media mentioned reports that a police officer had been stabbed and was being held hostage, as well as multiple explosions and parts of the center being set on fire. Citing a spokeswoman for the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, The Age reported up to 200 detainees were involved in the rioting and many had breached the fence and escaped from the facility.
Australia's ABC reported that 14 other detention center guards had been injured. It cited one unnamed guard as saying refugees began rioting late Friday afternoon and within two hours had taken over the center, setting a number of buildings on fire. At one point they gained access to a kitchen and armed themselves with knives and steel bars. The center's medical facility had been destroyed, he reportedly said. At least 15 guards have been injured, including a local police officer who was stabbed.
SMH Liberal (in US = Conservative) political opponent Tony Abbott is accusing the government of subcontracting the boat people problem to Papua New Guinea, saying the only solutions to Australia problems are "here in Australia".

This is the perfect time of year to get out the canning jars and start preserving the best of summer's fruits and vegetables while getting an early start on fall produce. If you haven't tried canning, you'll find it an enjoyable and rewarding way to preserve summer's peaches, tomatoes and peppers to enjoy in the middle of winter, or apples and summer berries to savor in the spring! You'll still be purchasing produce when in season, but will be able to enjoy it all year long!
The practice of canning and preserving foods has been around for a long time. Pickling, salting and dehydrating have been used for thousands of years to keep food from spoiling, and to make it available to eat all year round. At the end of World War II, most households were canning foods grown in their "Victory Gardens," when it was seen as a patriotic duty to ensure families were as self-sufficient as possible so more supplies and materials would be available to the troops.
For the last twenty or thirty years, the long-neglected art of canning has made its comeback due to the emphasis on eating healthy and eating locally grown produce. Young family cooks are turning to grandmothers and older relatives to learn the art of canning. Old canning cookbooks are being sought out. Canning websites are extremely popular. A wonderful array of home canned fruits and vegetables is being produced by a new generation of canners.
You'll find fantastic fresh produce, ready for canning, from the farmers who grew it. Visit Nyia Yi Farms from Stockton for the perfect pickling cucumbers. Stop by Arata Fruit out of Byron for the last of the season's peaches, nectarines, and plums for some tasty jam or chutney, or pick up some of their Mission figs for fig jam. Don't forget an extra stop at Berrylicious out of Gilroy for luscious strawberries and blackberries.
Rainbow Orchards from Camino will have crisp early fall apples and cider to make into naturally sweet homemade applesauce. Ken's Top Notch will have loads of juicy nectarines and grapes for jams, and Fifth Crow Farm will have bushels of beautiful green beans for making a killer batch of pickled dilly beans.
You can't beat the quality and freshness of farmers' market produce. You'll find varieties that you won't see at the supermarket, and you'll actually know where your food comes from! Enjoy the best of both seasons this month. And thank you for supporting your local farmers and farmers' market.
Blackberry Lemon Marmalade
