Roberts? ROBERTS???
"I will act to repeal Obamacare."
What Romney meant:
"I will act to repeal affordable health care for all."
What Romney should have said:
"I will act to repeal Romneycare."
You could have knocked me over with a kitten's whisker when I got the news. Having awoken stupidly early that morning (before two AM) I was taking a long, late morning's nap when the decision was announced. I didn't feel the need to be wide awake when that decision was revealed. I was certain of the outcome - or so I thought. Justice Anthony Kennedy would side with the right wing junta that has been dominating that court in recent years - as he usually does. Not to my surprise that is exactly what he did. But John Roberts turning to the left??? What gives? This morning he is a hero to the progressives, He's damned-near a hero to me! Life is funny, you know?
Some have speculated that Roberts is worried about the legacy of presiding over the worst body of Supreme Court Justices since the assholes who gave us "Plessy v Ferguson" over a century ago. There might very well be something to that. It must make him rip his pillow to shreds just thinking about it as he drifts off to dreamland every night. I would imagine that it gives him ulcers to even read about Chief Justice Roger Brook Taney, author of the Dred Scott decision and (I cringe as I write these words) a distant relative of mine. But who would have thought that John Roberts would pull an Earl Warren on us? Not me. Not in my wildest, weirdest dreams.
Warren was the reliably conservative, Republican governor of California who had served as Thomas Dewey's running mate in 1948. Four years later he went for the presidential nomination. When it became clear at the convention of 1952 that he was not going to get the big prize, he made a deal with Dwight Eisenhower. Warren would endorse the general on the condition that he get the first vacant Supreme Court appointment. Ike agreed. That vacancy came up in September of 1953 when Chief Justice Fred Vinson died suddenly of a heart attack. The president hesitated at giving him the top spot but Warren insisted. The agreement had been "the first" vacancy - and a deal was a deal. Ike relented - much to his eternal regret.
Earl Warren (to everyone's surprise) turned out to be one of the most progressive jurists in the history of that body. Less than a year after being sworn in, he would gently but firmly guide the court toward the historic "Brown v Board of Education" decision which effectively outlawed school segregation in America forever. Many years later, Eisenhower (a border-state-southerner by birth) would call his appointment of Earl Warren "the biggest damned-fool mistake of my life".
Warren was hugely unpopular during his lifetime - especially (although not surprisingly) in the deep south. Anyone who is old enough to remember driving through that region of the country during the nineteen-fifties and sixties can vividly recall the "IMPEACH EARL WARREN" billboards that littered the landscape. Highly controversial then, history has been quite kind to Chief Justice Earl Warren. His legacy is deeply respected and secure.
I can't help but wonder if Chief Justice John Roberts was thinking about his own place in history when he came out yesterday on the side of the angels. Is he worried that, a century into the future, his heirs will cringe at the mere mention of his name much in the same way my family cringes at the mention of the name "Roger B. Taney" nearly one-hundred and fifty years after his passing? That could possibly be the reason for his turnaround yesterday. This is just a theory of mine. Whatever the reason, I'm not complaining - trust me. Good for him for doing the right thing.
I can see the right wing billboards now:
Just you wait....
"Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so. The whole thing remains unconstitutional,"
-Rand Paul
NOTE TO RAND: The very fact that the Supreme Court says that something is constitutional does indeed make it so. At one point in our history, slavery was constitutional. For the record, just because something is constitutional does not necessarily make it right. Affordable health care for all people is right. This is such a no-brainer it's embarrassing to have to explain it to grown adults. This begs the question: Has Rand Paul ever sat through so-much-as-a remedial civics lesson? You've gotta wonder.
Leave it to the Republicans to rain on this parade. Within two hours of this historic decision being made public, uber jackass and Buddy Holly lookalike, Eric Cantor, announced that on July 11, immediately following the Fourth of July recess, the House will vote to repeal "Obamacare". Poor old Eric ought to be careful what he wishes for. Very soon the American people will start to understand - in a way they haven't previously - exactly what the Affordable Healthcare Act (it's not "Obamacare") will mean for their economic security. If they succeed in killing this, it could very well explode in their faces, killing that disgusting party in the process - not that that would be a bad thing, you understand.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
-Jesus of Nazareth
MEMO TO THE "CHRISTIAN" RIGHT: Affordable health care is quite merciful. One-hundred years ago in 1912, Theodore Roosevelt became the first, main stream American politician to propose national health insurance. This is one of the reasons (one of many) why the GOP today never even mentions his name in their campaign literature and propaganda. The type of enlightenment that was personified by TR has become anathema to the Grand OLD Party. It's almost inconceivable to me that a century later we're still having this discussion.
I've been a tad skeptical recently regarding Barack Obama's chances of being reelected come November. What with the Supreme Court's Citizens United debacle and the Voter ID laws being enacted in swing states all across the land, it seemed to me that the man had too much of an uphill climb to contend with. All bets are off. This might be the political victory he desperately needs that will give him enough momentum to beat Romney like a rancid egg. We shall see.

How to Write a Novel

Have you ever considered becoming a novelist? Write a great story and the money can come flooding in, although it usually takes years of practice! It can be a lonely profession with little guidance offered, so here are a few tips on how to write a novel like the most popular writers in romantic, horror, thriller and children's fiction. Good luck!
Dame Barbara Cartland: Author of over 700 books, mostly romantic fiction.
How could you resist following in the footsteps of one of the most prolific and successful romantic novelists of all time? Dame Barbara Cartland certainly had the formula for success and even wrote 23 novels in 1983 alone, earning her the Guinness World Record for most novels written in a single year. A lot of coffee will be needed to catch up and an assistant would help, as Cartland usually dictated her novels. Cartland's romantic novels had a standard formula based on a rather old fashioned but nevertheless popular kind of chivalry. First, you must create a virtuous and virginal heroine, longing for romance and marriage. Then, you need a male protagonist well versed in chivalry, who will eventually win the heart of the heroine. Prepare yourself for attacks from Feminist critics!
Stephen King: Author of over 50 books, mostly terrifying horror novels.
If you relish scaring the living daylights out of people, there is no better author to emulate than Stephen King, the undisputed king of horror. One thing you will need is an incredibly detailed knowledge of American society. From the prom night in Carrie, to the beloved classic car in Christine and 50s/80s small town setting of It, King has the uncanny ability to evoke authentic Americana while placing it in danger from malevolent supernatural forces. Many of King's plots focus on the danger of obsession, most memorably in Misery, which may well change your mind about becoming a writer altogether! Fond of using old Indian burial grounds as a possible explanation for ensuing horror, if you really want your protagonist to resemble those of King they must fail to heed at least one warning of what lies ahead for them.
Tom Clancy: Author of the Jack Ryan/John Clark thriller novels
A true master of the military and espionage thriller, Tom Clancy's most famous novels involve the characters Jack Ryan, who moves from consultant to CIA operative to US President during the course of the novels, and John Clark, who serves as a Navy SEAL before joining the CIA. If you want to write like Clancy, you will need an encyclopaedic knowledge of global politics and the military. Nearly all Clancy's novels feature a plot involving terrorist factions threatening the safety of the US, with incredible attention to detail being given to both terrorist and military operations. As well as knowing your military technology and weaponry, you must work in at least one traitor lurking in the shadows.
J.K. Rowling: Author of the Harry Potter novels
What can you say about billionaire author J.K. Rowling? If you want to replicate her unparalleled success, you will need an incredibly fertile imagination, the ability to work magic with your prose, a host of characters you truly fall in love with and an admirable commitment to not shun from the darker aspects of children's fantasy literature. The narrative throughout the Harry Potter series is a classic example of the bildungsroman, a coming of age tale of a young boy who just happens to be a wizard. To capture the essence of the Harry Potter series would require sharing Rowling's ability to create a spellbinding blend of fantastical fictional elements and the more realistic portrayal of the key characters' struggles with love, life and death as they grow from children to teenagers.

Nahargarh hills, adjoining Amer Fort, on Amer-Jaipur Road. According to past records, the beautiful green valley was named Kanak Vrindavan Valley by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, almost 280 years ago. The valley seemed like the mythological Vrindavan (Land of Lord Krishna) to the King, consequently he installed an idol of Lord Krishna in the complex.
Kanak Valley is also believed to be the blessed place where holy water from several rivers was gathered to carry out the Ashwamedh Yajna. Govind Deoji Temple, with its beautiful and delicate carvings, spreads a holy aura of spirituality all over the valley. The temple looks marvelous with its chhatris, lattice and mirror work.
Divided into eight sections, the garden comprises a series of fountains. The fountain by the name of 'Parikrama' is carved out of a single piece of marble. At night, the temple is brightly lit, the sounds of chants and hymns offered to the God complete the celestial picture of the place. Kanak Valley is a green oasis that flourishes in a bare land.
Jaipur-Agra Highway, 10 kms from Jaipur. In 1728, this garden was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, as a gift to his Sisodia Queen from Udaipur. The Sisodia Rani Garden served as a natural sanctum and a getaway for the Maharani of Jaipur. Here, the queen would spend time in the lap of nature, away from the politics of the royal palace.
The garden is designed in a Mughal style, on the theme of eternal lovers, Radha-Krishna. The garden appeals to the artistic and visual tastes of the spectator with its layered gardens, fascinating fountains, painted pavilions and galleries. Several frescos, depicting scenes of Radha-Krishna, adorn the walls. Set amidst the desert land, the garden exhibits skill of a human hand and the beauty of nature.
On Jaipur-Agra Highway, 8 kms from Jaipur. Vidhyadhar ka Bagh was made in order to bring a sense of relief in the scorched scenery of the desert land. The Garden is situated at a distance of 8 kms to the east of Jaipur, on Jaipur-Agra Road. Initially, the place served as a vineyard to previous rulers then it was renovated to its present form.
Near Sisodia Rani ka Bagh, on Jaipur-Agra Highway. Galtaji is a destination of holy pilgrimage in India. The vast complex has several temples in it and is famous for its natural springs. Galtaji is considered holy as Saint Galav spent his life meditating here. However, the temple was built much later in the 18th Century. The outstanding structure of the Temple looks more like a mansion or Haveli. Built in pink sandstone it crests the ridge over a picturesque gorge. Galtaji Temple is dedicated to the Sun God. The temple is decked with rounded roofs, exquisitely carved pillars and painted walls. Out of all other temples, the Hanuman temple stands out, being surrounded by hundreds of monkeys.
The water of these springs is accumulated in the tanks or 'kunds'. In all, there are seven tanks, the holiest being the Galta Kund, which never goes dry. It is considered auspicious to take bath in the holy waters of Galtaji. Thousands of people come every year to take a dip in the tanks to rinse out their sins.
South of Jaipur just below the famous Moti Dungri Fort. The Birla Mandir, in pure white marble, dominates the skyline of southern part of Jaipur. The enormous temple was built during the year 1988, built by B.M. Birla Foundation, 1988, one of the business tycoons of India. The Temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Narayan), the preserver and his consort Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth and is also known as Laxmi Narayan Temple.
The attractive stained glass windows of the temple depict scenes from Hindu Mythology. The idols of Lord Vishnu and his consort, Lakshmi are made out from one piece of marble. The exteriors of the temple are carved splendidly based on mythological themes, while the interiors have a large marble panel portraying mythological events. The Birla Temple has a museum too, which showcases the ancestral valuables of the Birla family.
The Amer Fort (also known as The Amber Fort) is situated in Amer, 11 kilometers from Jaipur. Amer was originally the capital of the state before Jaipur. The old fort overlooks the Maota Lake at its forefront. Built in 1592 by Raja Man Singh, the fort is also known as the Amer Palace. Made up of large ramparts, a series of gates and cobbled paths, Amer is known for its artistic style, blending both Hindu and Rajput elements.
The Amer Fort's true beauty lies within it's walls. Inside you will find an opulent palace complex built with red sandstone and marble consisting of the Diwan-e-Aam or the "Hall of Public Audience", the Diwan-e-Khas or the "Hall of Private Audience", the Sheesh Mahal (mirror palace) or Jai Mandir, and the Sukh Niwas where a cool climate is artificially created by winds that blow over the water cascade within the palace. The palace was the home of the Rajput Maharajas and their families.
Hawa Mahal (translation: "Palace of Winds" or "Palace of the Breeze"), is a palace in Jaipur. It was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, and was designed by Lal Chand Ustad in the form of the crown of Krishna, the Hindu god. Its unique five-storey exterior is also akin to the honeycomb of the beehive due to its 953 small windows that are decorated with intricate latticework. Built of red and pink sandstone, the palace is situated on the main thoroughfare in the heart of Jaipur's business centre. It forms part of the City Palace, and extends to the Zenana or women's chambers, the chambers of the harem. Hawa Mahal is particularly striking when viewed early in the morning, lit with the golden light of sunrise.
City Palace is a palace complex in Jaipur which includes the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces and other buildings. It was the seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur, the head of the Kachwaha Rajput clan. The Chandra Mahal palace now houses a museum but it is still a royal residence. The palace complex, which is located northeast of the centre of Jaipur city, incorporates an impressive and vast array of courtyards, gardens and buildings. The palace was built between 1729 and 1732, initially by Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber. Among the variety of palaces and forts of Jaipur, City Palace stands out due to its outstanding art and architecture.
Jal Mahal (meaning "Water Palace") is a palace located in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur city, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, India. The palace and the lake around it were renovated and enlarged in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber.
The Jal Mahal palace is considered an architectural beauty built in the Rajput and Mughal styles of architecture providing a picturesque view of the lake (the Mansagar dam on the eastern side of the lake acts as a vantage point for viewing the lake and the valley), and the surrounding Nahargarh hills. The palace, built in red sandstone, is a five-storied building out of which four floors remain under water when the lake is full and the top floor is exposed.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
"Do you know about the Noose House?"
My friend Amy posed this question to me after we'd made our nightly visit to CD World to ogle/impress her crush Sammy Music Store Worker. Zipping through the streets of Dallas in her 1985 Mercedes (I coveted that car so much), blasting something '90s and British from the car's CD player, I had no idea what Amy was talking about, but I wanted to sound cool.
After all I had just like, totally impressed Sammy Music Store Worker with my STAGGERING knowledge of The Verve, Ocean Colour Scene, and Suede. I wanted to continue my "cool girl" streak. And though Amy is now certainly the friend who has seen me at my "Louise-iest" — "I'll just wear these pants as a scarf, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!" — at the the time we were but tender sophomores in high school, and Amy's boldness, confidence, and good hair made me want to impress her.
"Uh, I think so. Is that the house over near Greenville?"
"No, it's off Midway —"
"—Right! Midway, yeah. Wait, which house is this? I might be remembering it wrong..."
Good save, Hung.
Amy proceeded to tell me about a large house, in an affluent neighborhood that had stood empty, in an unfinished renovation limbo, "since forever". (NOTE: If you Dallasites out there think this story bears a striking resemblance to the "Hanging House" legend, I'll get to that in a moment.)
As the story went, the house had supposedly been inhabited by an old lady and her son. One night the old lady discovered her son hanging from a noose in an upper bedroom. The CREEPY PART was, the police found no way that the man could have gotten himself into the noose. There was no chair, no bed, no ledge — he was just unexplainably hanging in the middle of the room.
After that the old lady (it's always an old lady) sold the house. A family moved in and started renovating the place, but did not stay to see the renovations through. According to urban legend, no workers would work on the house because of ghostly happenings — seeing the shadow of the hanged man, demonic screams, tools disappearing. The family couldn't take it either and just up and left the house.
After the house was abandoned, it stood empty and half-renovated for sometime. But, supposedly, if you drove by in the dark of night, and stopped in front of the house, you could see the see the phantom body of the son, still hanging from the mysterious noose.
That night Amy drove us to what she was "pretty sure" was the Noose House. Driving slowly down a dark, narrow, residential street, we came upon a house undergoing construction.
Slowing to a halt in front of the house, the street silent and empty, we peered through the dark at the house. Zeroing in on an upper room, partially exposed by construction we stared and waited for the ghost to appear.
As my eyes adjusted to the moonlit night, my stomach did flip-flops of anticipation. WOULD I SEE A GHOST?
And then I gasped. So did Amy.
"Do you see that?" I whispered.
"That's so creepy," Amy whispered back.
"...yeah..." I said.
Truth be told, I didn't see anything. Neither did Amy. But at the time, I really wanted to see something. So I fudged it. Such is the stuff of urban legends and bored teenagers.
Since that night back in high school with Amy, I've been told numerous versions of the Noose House legend. Like I mentioned earlier, what I've always known as the "Noose House" has also been known as the "Hanging House".
Very similar story, only it's a young girl from the 1950s who hung herself and her parents never took the noose down, left her bedroom exactly the same over the decades, and hung a realistic portrait facing the window. According to this legend, when you drive by, either because of "optical illusion" or because of a ghost, you can see the girl hanging in the window.
This story is slightly more plausible, except for the fact that nobody seems to know exactly where this house is. I should also note that the Noose House from Amy's and my adventure finished construction relatively quickly and went on to be a very not-spooky residence.
I have never been able to find any concrete proof that either of these stories ever happened. Maybe at some point there was a scrap of truth to some version of this legend, but at this point the tale has gotten so tall that it is entirely fiction.
And that's okay. Frankly, if we're talking hangings and such, I'm just fine with fiction.
So, why am I bringing up the Noose House?
Aside from the fact that I've been trying to find a way to work it into the Creepy Corner for years now, I was reminded of it today when I found myself by the Sai Ying Pun Community Complex AKA the "High Street Ghost House".
Built in 1891, the original building on the site was used as nurses' housing until World War II. During WWII it's unclear what the building was officially used as, though there are rumors that the Japanese used it as an execution hall. I have not found anything clearly confirming or denying this rumor. It's not outside of the realm of belief, as the Japanese occupation yielded many horrors that Hong Kongers had to contend with, but it could also just be adding fuel to the urban legend fire.
Speaking of flames, the original building was badly burned by two fires. The facade is really all that is left of the original structure.
After WWII, the building functioned as the Old Mental Hospital, Hong Kong's only mental hospital. When the hospital stopped serving patients in the early '70s the building was left empty, only to be broken into by drug users, thrill-seeking teens, and the homeless. During the decades when the building stood empty, the Community Complex opened in the early 2000s, ghost stories relating to the building's past swelled and spread throughout the city.
I'd even heard stories from aunts and cousins concerning the place — while I was in the US. Knowing I love ghost stories, an auntie would pull me aside and say, "Oh you should ask your mom to take you to the ghost house in Sai Ying Pun! There's headless ghosts there! My girlfriend worked nearby and SHE said that HER friend said..."
Shades of the Noose House stories.
The most famous ghosts associated with the Sai Ying Pun Community Complex are yes, a headless ghost that runs through the halls, and a demonic-looking man, dressed in traditional Chinese garb, that appears to burst into flames on the second floor.
These stories really gained a foothold while the building was unused, but supposedly sightings of the above ghosts continue even now. Again, and maybe it's the fact that I can't read Chinese, but I have yet to find more "ghostly evidence" than "people say..."
On a side note, I completely understand why folks have capitalized on the site's potentially dark history over the years, but I think it's a great turnaround that the building is now used to further community enrichment and education, while also giving space to local charities and government aid offices.
And while I'm not at all wild about celebrating a building or house's tragic past, I do think that the legends that are often born of such history are part of the tapestry of a culture. It's one way we don't forget people, places, or change.
Plus they make us curious about the past. There can be such value in that.
So what ghost stories and legends keep your hometown haunted? What stories do kids tell each other at sleepovers or while driving around at night? What local stories gave you goosebumps when you were growing up? Now?
Tell us! You know we all love a good story.

Hey Everyone!
I've been away for a good couple of months, and i was considering writing a whole post on why. However, I've changed my mind and decided to keep it private for now and jump straight in with a review of a delicious brunch spot i went to a few weeks back! Now.. Who doesn't love a good brunch? I feel like it's all we see on Instagram these days, but if you don't Instagram it .. it never happened.. am i right?! My bestie took me to this adorable and tiny restaurant called Flour To The People in Battersea Park for a delightful Sunday morning brunch, before our afternoon of catching rays in the park.
Located on Battersea Park Road this quaint (and very small) family run restaurant focuses on making as much as possible from scratch, they source and make all the dishes from free-range organic ingredients and you can tell! As well as making their own sourdough they also make their own butter, marmalade, jams, sauces and mayo. In the day they focus on brunch and at night sourdough pizzas!
Myself and Emma both started off with an iced coffee, not strictly on the menu but the servers where more than happy to accommodate. The coffee was strong, great quality and really hit the spot! I didn't manage to get a picture of the menu, but they had healthy options like bircher muesli, avocado on toast and veggie breakfasts and then the naughty options like pancakes and what i had french toast (check out the full menu here)! All dishes where reasonably priced at around £9.00 - £11.00 for a hearty plate of fresh grub! Now please don't judge me.. but i had a large plate of everything beige (i was INCREDIBLY hunger and needed bacon!) the french toast was delicious as was the sausage and bacon! Emma went for the the (V) one.. i.e the veggie breakfast which includes, eggs, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, house beans and sourdough toast. Another fantastic and quirky touch was the toaster at each table, meaning you can toast your bread to your liking and make sure it's warm for when your food arrives.
Yes.. the restaurant is tiny.. yes you might have to cosy up to a stranger and it's a guarantee you will have to queue up for a table - but the food was delicious and well worth it. This place serves fresh and wholesome breakfasts at a great price and makes a change from all the chain diners in Central. I will certainly be returning to try their sourdough pizzas, and if you have been would love to know your thoughts!
I always love trying new places, so would love to hear what your favourite brunch spot is?

GOODYEAR, Ariz. Eric Surkamp won an ERA title in Double-Alast season, he enjoyed the thrill of his major league debut and he got dousedwith the celebratory beer shower that accompanies your first major league win.
All good things.
But last season ended on the worst possible note.
In his second to last start, he didnt survive the firstinning at Arizonas Chase Field. And the Diamondbacks destroyed the Giants15-2. Surkamp faced eight batters and retired just one of them. It was fourwalks, two singles, a double, three stolen bases and an early shower.
It was a smoldering wreck of an outing. And it was the night thatArizona clinched the NL West title.
Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti told Surkamp to forgetthat night and take only the positives out of what otherwise was a startlinglygood season. But when Surkamp went to work out at Fischer Sports in the Phoenixarea, the reminders were all around him.
J.J. Putz, Miguel Montero those guys were there everyday, Surkamp said. A lot of Diamondbacks players train there. But it wasgood. It motivated me.
Surkamp didnt lack for motivation over the winter. Perhapsno Giants player made a bigger improvement in terms of fitness andconditioning. But Surkamp needed to improve his mind, too especially afterhis first Cactus League outing was another rough one.
The first outings, I was pretty tense, knowing I didnt endthe season so great last year, Surkamp said. When you struggle in your firstouting, you get down on yourself.
Thats where Tim Lincecum stepped in. Surkamp said he was runningwith the two-time Cy Young Award winner one day when he received a piece ofadvice.
He helped to take the pressure off, Surkamp said. Its justhave the mindset going into games, like, Maybe the weight of the world isnton you. So stay calm. That was the gist of it. Coming from a guy like him,facing No.1s all the time, it says a lot about him and the composure he pitcheswith.
Surkamp has looked more calm and composed with every outing,winning the confidence of manager Bruce Bochy and making himself into a solidoption whenever the club has a vacancy in the rotation. He got close to 90pitches in five innings of a 5-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesdayat Goodyear Ballpark.
The only runs he allowed came on Shelley Duncans two-runhome run in the fourth inning. Surkamp didnt let it faze him, settling backdown and throwing strikes to retire the next three hitters.
I think the kids had a nice spring, Bochy said. Hesbetter with experience. It seems his confidence is growing. He threw 90 pitchestoday and thats a good effort. He seems to be commanding his pitches better,and when he gets out of sync, he seems to be regrouping out there.
Hes got a calmness about him that you like.
Surkamp said he began incorporating his slider in hisprevious start and started throwing it to right-handers on Wednesday. He stillchastised himself for getting lazy on a few pitches in the early innings, whenhe was leaving a few balls armside.
Ive got to eliminate the pitches I leave up and over theplate, he said. The home run was a wakeup call, almost. Ive got to learn tobe locked in. It shouldnt take a home run for that to happen.
Even if Ryan Vogelsong must start the year on the disabledlist, the Giants wont need a fifth starter until April 15 the ninth game ofthe season. So Surkamp probably wont be needed in the near term.
But if Barry Zito struggles mightily, Vogelsong needs moretime or an injury befalls the rotation, Surkamp wants to leave the clearimpression that hell be ready for anything even if a division title is onthe line.
Its hard because you want to go out there and prove it to Giantsfans and everybody else, Surkamp said. Really, you just need to prove it toyourself. Just know you belong up here and its the same game.

Basketball, a cup of tea for the Europeans and Americans. As a sport for Indians I would rather state it to be a mere spectacle. Indeed our establishment on the British grounds always captures our priority for Cricket. Even the dazzling Bollywood Cinema had cast a spell with the "Gentle man's sport" Cricket in movies like Lagaan. Right from the lesser year old ones to the teens, one would literally be willing to martyr acquiring a Cricket kit.
TRADITION is the right label that could be applied to Cricket. That's the force holding the impulse of India, instead of it being an expensive sport. But that doesn't mean the others will allow basking in the background. It is important that we need to encourage other sports to nurture an all community unity and to promote a healthy lifestyle to Indian youth. The revolutionary event for the sport of basketball is the launch of Mahindra NBA challenge which marks an innovative move in the way of sponsorship from the entrepreneur group Mahindra.
Trailblazing Mahindra NBA Challenge
The aim of BFI (Basketball Federation in India) is to nurture the sport as a popular game in the Indian sub-continent. Krishnan Muthukumar drew a gobsmacking number of 500 players for the first time in our sports history, who played in a league in a city. But the BFI is facing an obvious problem to acquire funds. And now, thanks to Mahindra Group for raising the number of basketball wanna-bes in India.
With an open invite to the Indian chunk of young ones, it scoops out talent right from various nooks and cranies. It's obvious that this NBA challenge has started pioneering the way for a healthy life style for basketball and a competitive environment to show case our skills in our hometown. The "commandments" of BFI are to nurture the skill from the grassroots, to raise the efficiency through coaching and to develop the sport in the Sub-Continent.
The ball game, Basketball takes its roots in North America. A profound knowledge of that ball game exists from 10 BC, widely spoken in the writings of John Lloyd Stephens, an American Explorer who witnessed the Central America ruined by the civil war. The ruined cities somehow drove him to explore Mayan civilization. Accompanied by his companion, an Architect and the Draftsmen Frederick Catherwood he produced the evidence of the basketball, being invented by Mesoamericans. The drawings, by Frederick Catherwood were available at most of the Educational Institutions.
Team Sport
Two teams consisting of 5 players try to score points against each other by shooting the ball into the basketball hoop of their rivals. The beauty of the game is its equipments. All you need is a flat, rectangular surface with baskets at the opposite sides. When it comes to competitive levels, clocks, score sheets, scoreboards, alternating possession arrows, and whistle-operated stop-clock systems plays a vital role. Moreover it's a game for all of the community because it does not require space or expenditure as does cricket. One successful shot carries 3 points. One shot needs organisation, Team playing, Team support and an extensive skill. "Foul", an attempt to overwhelm the opponent by physical contact indeed makes the game more challenging and brain teasing.
The ball should stay within the court. The last team that touches the ball before it travels out of the bounds forfeits possession. The ball is out of bounds if it touches or crosses over the boundary line, which is a contrary regulation from the netball, or volleyball. The game is controlled by a crew consisting of a "Crew chief" or a Referee, Table officials and a two more referees or the "crew chiefs".
While the Referee commands the procession of the game, the Table officials keeps track of the team scoring, fouls including player and individual fouls, timekeeping, player substitutions and shot clock.
Olympic Sport
The list of Olympic sports published in 1936, declared Basketball as an Olympic Sport. The History drives us back to 1904, when it was played as a tournament as an outdoor game and apparently had been a "Demonstrated Olympic sport". Officially it was approved an Olympic sport only by 1936. Today, basketball is the most viewed sport globally. Sports is an elixir, especially basketball is a popular game that promotes the lifestyle of the Occidental.
Scope in India
The unique regulations of the game speak for itself that have drawn spectators across the globe. Sponsorship is just the only ingredient lacking to nurture this wonderful sport in India. Mahindra NBA Challenge has increased the basketball wannabees, due to its generous back up of the leagues in cities as Mumbai. This is the curtain opener for "corporate awareness" towards funding the game.
A cost-effective, community- based recreation sport NBA aims at tending and developing the game as one of the most popular sport in India. After a few years, it would be no wonder to see children and adults playing street basketball as common as one would see cricket nowadays.
The Mahindra group has yielded fruits at Mastan YMCA, in women's division too. Let us wait for the challenge that takes begins at Bangalore on 17th July and Ludhiana on 31st July.

Bitcoin is almost all any individual is discussing at broker agents as well as trading companies, which have actually experienced amidst climbing yet uncommonly peaceful markets. If futures at an exchange removed, it would certainly be virtually difficult for other exchange, like CME, to capture up, given that range as well as liquidity is essential in by-products markets.

An alternative* to BOTOX® Cosmetic
Facial movements such as frowning or squinting can create frown lines. Frown lines can develop in all age groups including some younger adults. Very similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport® is an alternative wrinkle relaxer approved to treat forehead wrinkles and frown lines. Dysport® is approved to treat wrinkles in 23 countries and was approved by the FDA in 2009 in the U.S. The FDA has approved Dysport® to treat moderate to severe frown lines in adult patients less than 65 years of age.
Common Areas Treated with Dysport®
The common area of injection is between the eyebrows where women frequently develop a furrow or indentation in their forehead. This area responds very well to Dysport® injections in smoothing out the furrow. Dysport® is effective in temporarily lessening the appearance of facial wrinkles, including crow's feet.
What is Dysport®?
Dysport® is an injectable form of botulinum toxin Type A similar to the active ingredient in BOTOX® Cosmetic. Dysport® works by blocking the nerve impulses that cause your facial muscles to contract and form lines. The main ingredient is a neurotoxin, but the amount is so incredibly small that it's considered non-toxic. It relaxes facial muscles and allows unsightly lines and wrinkles to flatten out giving you a younger more rested look.
How does Dysport® work?
The procedure is quick and it is done in the office with only slight discomfort**. The potential side effects of Dysport® are similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic. They include local numbness, swelling, bruising or a burning sensation during injection. Placing ice on the injection site before and after the procedure can reduce side effects. If there is a bruise, you will usually be able to use cover up to minimize it. We recommend "taking it easy" for rest of the day after Dysport® i.e. no gym, working out, kickboxing, yoga, spin etc.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Dysport® is not a permanent treatment as follow-up injections are required; typically injections last approximately up to 3- 6 months. Some clinical studies have shown that Dysport® injections may keep wrinkles at bay for six months in the crow's feet area, as opposed to the approximate three month timeframe found when using BOTOX® Cosmetic**.
Is Dysport® for Me?
At BAXT CosMedical® Plastic Surgery and Dermatology located in Paramus, New Jersey we offer Dysport® injections for the non-surgical treatment of facial wrinkles. Contact us at 201-265-1300 and schedule your complimentary initial consultation. Let Dr. Rebecca Baxt and Dr. Saida Baxt help you determine if Dysport® is the right treatment option for you based on the condition of your skin and your personal goals. Find out.

Under the Almohads and the Hafsids, from the 12th to the 16th century, Tunis was considered one of the greatest and wealthiest cities in the Islamic world. Some 700 monuments, including palaces, mosques, mausoleums, madrasas and fountains, testify to this remarkable past.
Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
Located in a fertile plain region of north-eastern Tunisia, and a few kilometres from the sea, the Medina of Tunis is one of the first Arabo-Muslim towns of the Maghreb (698 A.D.). Capital of several universally influential dynasties, it represents a human settlement that bears witness to the interaction between architecture, urbanism and the effects of socio-cultural and economic changes of earlier cultures. Under the Almohads and the Hafsids, from the 12th to the 16th century, Tunis was considered one of the greatest and wealthiest cities in the Arab world. Numerous testimonies from this and earlier periods exist today. Between the 16th and 19th centuries, new powers endowed the city with numerous palaces and residences, great mosques, zaouias and madrasas.
The inscribed property covers an area of approximately 280 ha and comprises all the features of an Arabo-Muslim city. It is composed of the central medina (8th century) and suburbs to the North and South (13th century). There are some 700 historic monuments, distributed in 7 areas, among which the most remarkable are the Zitouna Mosque, the Kasbah Mosque, the Youssef Dey Mosque, Bab Jedid Gate, Bab Bhar Gate, the Souq el-Attarine, the Dar el-Bey, Souqs ech-Chaouachia, the Tourbet (family cemetery) el Bey, noble houses such as Dar Hussein, Dar Ben Abdallah, Dar Lasram, the Medrasa Es- Slimanya and El-Mouradia, the El Attarine military barracks and the Zaouia of Sidi Mehrez.
With its souqs, its urban fabric, its residential quarters, monuments and gates, this ensemble constitutes a prototype among the best conserved in the Islamic world.
Criterion (ii): The relay role played by the Medina of Tunis between the Maghreb, Southern Europeand the East encouraged exchanges of influences in the field of the arts and architecture over many centuries.
Criterion (iii): As an important city and the capital of different dynasties (from the Banu Khurassan, to the Husseinits), the Medina of Tunis bears outstanding witness to the civilizations of Ifriqiya (essentially from the 10th century).
Criterion (v): The Medina of Tunis is an example of a human settlement that has conserved the integrity of its urban fabric with all its typo-morphological components. The impact of socio-economic change has rendered this traditional settlement vulnerable and it should be fully protected.
Integrity (2009)
The attributes that express the Outstanding Universal Value include not only the buildings but also the coherent urban fabric of the town. The exact boundaries of the property need to be clarified.
At the time of inscription, 50% of the built heritage of Tunis was considered to be in a bad state of conservation or almost in ruins. Individual monuments and the cohesion of the ensemble of the urban fabric have remained partially vulnerable to the effects of socio-economic change. A buffer zone is proposed in order to better protect the surroundings of the property.
Authenticity (2009)
The Medina of Tunis (with its central part and two suburbs, North and South) has conserved, without significant alteration, its urban fabric and morphology, as well as its architectural and architectonic features. The impact of adaptation to new life styles and its demands is relatively slight and the different restoration and/or rehabilitation interventions have not affected the intrinsic value of its functional and structural authenticity, even if the buildings remain vulnerable to the accumulated change of materials and building techniques.
Protection and management requirements (2009)
The Medina of Tunis benefits from the national listing for 88 historic monuments. It also enjoys national protection for 5 monuments, 14 streets (including 3 souqs) and a square. Its protection is also assured by Law 35-1994 concerning the protection of archaeological and historic heritage and traditional arts, and by the development plan of the Medina of Tunis. The Medina of Tunis has a safeguarding and management structure attached to the National Heritage Institute and a Safeguarding Association for the Medina attached to the Municipality of Tunis. The proposed buffer zone needs to be revised to ensure the efficacious protection of the property taking into account its values and its integration into the environmental context. The regulatory measures to ensure the management of the site and its buffer zone as well as the implementation mechanisms should be specified.

Folha de S. Paulo, the biggest newspaper in Brazil, recently implemented the new, robust Altitude uCI 8 customer interaction management solution.
"The solution was implemented on schedule with full support from Altitude. It was quite a challenge as, at the same time, we have also updated the hardware, databases, the scripts and some tools aiming to achieve more effective customer engagement" said Elaine Gauzzi, Contact Center Manager at Folha de S. Paulo, in a press statement.
With a daily readership of 300,000, Folha de S. Paulo is touted as one of the most influential media sources in Brazil. The deployment of Altitude uCI 8 customer interaction management solution helped the newspaper to improve quality and increase efficiency in customer service and campaigns.
It has also been able to enhance operational performance and simplify proactive customer service management, with the help of the solution.
"We perceived the solution's potential the minute we started to use it," states Gauzzi. "The new functionalities bring added value and flexibility to campaign management and execution." Altitude uCI 8 solution has a unified desktop and very flexible management tools that provide real time KPI's and enable immediate changes on ongoing campaigns making for more efficient and productive proactive customer service.
Officials said that Altitude's new campaign management tools enable a better resource allocation in the contact center and provide real time monitoring and detailed information on customers and campaigns.
Furthermore, Altitude's uCI 8 solution offers operational and business metrics that help companies to improve processes, increase productivity and maximize customer engagement.

On October 9, 2003, at approximately 12:30 p.m., the plaintiff, who was a freshman in high school, was exiting a bathroom when two female students, who were seniors at the school, assaulted her by pinning her against the wall and inappropriately touching and fondling her. The plaintiff alleged that the assault took place in the vicinity of a security desk, and was witnessed by a security guard who failed to act to stop the attack. Additionally, the plaintiff alleged that defendants routinely failed to follow their own security policies and procedures, creating an environment in which individual security guards were largely unaccountable for their work performance.
Six days following the attack the plaintiff had to be hospitalized for anxiety attacks. She began psychiatric care on an outpatient basis following the hospitalization. She returned to school after being released from the hospital approximately one week later. At plaintiff's mother's request, the school assigned the plaintiff an aid to walk her back and forth from classes, and began bussing the plaintiff to and from school because she feared retaliation from her attackers for pressing criminal charges.
The plaintiff's condition throughout the remainder of the 2003-2004 school year ebbed and flowed in conjunction with run-ins with her attackers and alleged teasing about the attack from her peers at school. She remained under psychiatric care for medication monitoring and she received psychological counseling once a week.
Plaintiff alleged that when she returned to the high school for the 2004-2005 school year, the teasing about the October 9, 2003 sexual assault continued. Ultimately, the plaintiff was placed on a home schooling program after leaving the high school in November 2004. Shortly before her home schooling program was set to expire, she attempted suicide by overdosing on Paxil. A month later, she attempted suicide a second time by taking Paxil, this time consuming more pills. The plaintiff was then admitted into an intensive outpatient therapy program and completed her 2004-2005 school year there.
In addition to the negligent security claim, the plaintiffs alleged that the teasing she experienced at the Newark highschool denied her a harassment free school environment in violation of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, pursuant to L.W. v. Tom's River Regional Schools Bd. of Educ., 189 N.J. 381(2007).
At the recommendation of her social worker, the plaintiff was transferred into another school district after she was released from her outpatient treatment following her second suicide attempt. Although she remained under the care of a psychiatrist, the plaintiff excelled in her new educational environment. She was elected student body president at her new school and graduated valedictorian of her class.
Lawyer John Ratkowitz (click here for bio) represented the plaintiff. The case settled on the third day of trial.

SPRINGFIELD—In support of National Child Passenger Safety Week (September 15 – 21), the AAA New Jersey Automobile Club is sponsoring FREE child safety seat checks at the AAA Car Care Center in Springfield (135 Route 22 East) on Saturday, September 21 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. The event is part of the nationwide "Seat Check Saturday" initiative. Nationally certified child passenger safety technicians will be on hand to check child safety seats for proper installation and use.
Nationally certified child passenger safety technicians will conduct the child safety seat checks. The technicians will examine the child seat to ensure that it has been installed correctly, that it is appropriate for the child's height and weight, and confirm that it has not been recalled by the manufacturer.
"Car crashes are one of the leading causes of death for children, largely due to nonuse and misuse of car seats," says Cathleen Lewis, Region Director of Public Affairs. "Child safety seats that are not properly installed won't protect children as intended during a crash. The best protection a parent or guardian can offer is to make sure their child is properly secured in a car seat — every trip, every time."
AAA urges proper restraints for all vehicle occupants and recommends adhering to these simple guidelines for determining the appropriate child restraint:
- Rear-Facing Seats in the back seat from birth to at least age 2. It's safest to keep babies in the rear-facing position as long as possible, maxing out the upper weight or height limits of the car seat.
- Forward-Facing Toddler Seats in the back seat once children outgrow the upper weight or height limits of their rear-facing convertible seat. It's safest to keep your child in a five-point harness as long as possible to the upper size (height and weight) limits of the seat.
- Booster Seats in the back seat from about age 4 until your child is 4'9" tall (usually between 8-12 years of age).
- Seat Belts when your child is taller than 4'9". The back seat is the safest place for kids—they should ride in the back until they are at least 13 years of age.
The AAA New Jersey Automobile Club, headquartered in Florham Park, provides automotive, travel, insurance, financial and educational services to its more than 400,000 members in Essex, Morris and Union Counties. The AAA New Jersey Automobile Club also owns and operates New Jersey's first AAA Car Care Center, located in Springfield.

text: In either case, both men and women, Anavar can be used for far longer than most oral anabolic steroids due to its low liver toxicity rating and further as it does not appear to taper off in benefit as fast as many other oral anabolic steroids. The majority of Anavar users will supplement for 6-8 weeks but longer durations of 12 weeks are not uncommon, especially during female contest preparation time. Keep in mind, the leaner you are the greater the results will be, meaning, they will be far more pronounced; for this reason most women will choose Anavar during the latter half of their diet to reap the greatest reward.

Drunk Man Urinates On Mosque Prayer Rug
A drunk man went into a mosque in Queens, New York, and urinated on a prayer rug.
Evening prayers were disrupted at the Iman Mosque on Steinway Street in Astoria when the unhinged man "came in with a beer bottle in his hands, clearly very intoxicated," said Mustapha Sadouki, who was attending services.
"He fumbled over to our rugs where people were praying" and then committed the despicable desecration, Sadouki said.
When the cops took him away he stuck up his middle finger and cursed at everyone.Click here for reuse options!

wow! i mean, we've seen her on oh so many photos (and there she always looks as if wearing all that designer stuff from head to toe is the most natural thing in the world), but how is it to see her in real life? doesn't she look like she's from another planet? :)

I think the only way Anna can ever shock me is if she wore plain black (and flats). Although I'm almost stunned she isn't wearing any hair accessories...
Hope you're feeling better! What a bummer to get a flu right around LFW...

Mr. Grump, Little Grump, and I went with our friends to see Spamalot in Dallas tonight. We have long been Monty Python fans, but we had never seen this play. So when my friend Diane said that she was going, I begged to allow us to tag along.
Thank God for good friends who appreciate our geekiness!
The play was everything we expected and more. Singing, dancing, some Brit humor, and a couple gratuitous high-fives to the Mavs… What more could we want?
The answer is… A horse! We bought a "commemorative action figure" of a "horse" for Little Grump. She is as happy as if we had given her gold!
Yep… We're geeks!

I'm really excited to share this NEW CHRISTMAS TRADITION! What a great idea it is. As far as good deeds at Christmas and children, it seems that there are the common thing like: "Hey kids, Santa and his elves are watching, etc etc." There's also the traditional Elf on the Shelf who does silly things and watches what the kids do and reports back to Santa. This tradition is NEW and MORE POWERFUL and elicits specific kind acts and harnesses the power of KINDNESS. Secret Society of Bubblers teaches kids that being "good" is not about "not being naughty" — it's about being KIND. Today we even have an awesome 30% off an adventure set (code: KINDMOMS ), so i'll explain what it is.
- What is the Secret Society of Bubblers? It's simple. It's a kids' Christmas Adventure that teaches kids about the power, importance and magic of kindness and you do this with the special adventure kit, shown below.
- With the kit, comes with a TOP SECRET letter from the Grand Elf OZZIE who tells the kids they have been chosen for a special mission. It talks about the "Microscopic Elves" that are all over the world and can only get back to be an Elf at the North Pole by the help of a child. My kids have read the letter so far and are already starting their acts of kindness. They were DYING over the letter because it looks VERY official. They are really excited about collecting the coins and they are ages: 9, 8, 7, and 5. It will be so fun to see how this pans out!
- The child then becomes a part of the Secret Society of Bubblers. It explains that they can help the elves get to the North Pole by doing acts of kindness.
- Within the kit are "Kindness Tokens". As the child completes acts of kindness, the tokens show up one by one.
- Once the tokens are all earned, the child gets to blow the bubbles that take the tiny elf up to the North Pole (the only way they can travel.)
- Then the certificate arrives that certifies that they are a part of the "Secret Society of Bubblers." The whole way, kindness to others is highly encouraged. SO CUTE!!!!!!
Today we have a SPECIAL OFFER & DISCOUNT CODE so you too can enjoy the magic and kindness traditions that come with the Secret Society of Bubblers. Enter the code: KINDMOMS at checkout and receive 30% off your adventure kit.
AND………We wanted to hook you up with something that will help you capture the "magic" of this holiday season to one lucky winner!!!!! ENTER BELOW!!!
GO and check it out….

I love the idea of being able to say "no mas" without attorneys…and their fees!
In 1999, France legalized civil unions called pacte civil de solidarité, known as Pacs. The Pacs is essentially a contract drawn up by a couple and registered by a county clerk. The couple is granted some, but not all, of the joint tax benefits and financial privileges of marriage. At the same time, they do not have the same inheritance rights or adoption rights as a married couple does. However, the individuals are no longer considered "single". They file their taxes accordingly, the women are addressed as Madame, (the title equivalent to Mrs.) and their paper work reflects them as pacsé.
To dissolve the union, the couple has to write a letter to their court. "If they want to break up, however, they don't need expensive lawyers or lengthy divorce proceedings. All they have to do is state their desire to call things off in an official letter to their locally competent legal court."
While the union was originally created to legally acknowledge same-sex couples, heterosexual couples wanted in. Apparently, in an effort to grant rights to the homosexual community, France was ironically fulfilling a need in the heterosexual one: to be acknowledged as a couple and granted financial privileges without the hefty legal costs of divorce. According to bonjourparis.com, in 2009, ten years after the Pacs was established, a majority of the couples entering it were heterosexual. "94 percent of the newly Pacséd couples were of different sexes just as they would be in a classical marriage."
When the Pacs dissolves it doesn't necessarily mean the relationship is terminated, in some cases the couple decides to marry. (The statistic for those couples vary because it only applied to heterosexuals.) "Sociologists studying the institution interpret this as a strong sign that, in today's modern society, a young French couple wants to use the PACS not to avoid a long-term commitment but to give it a trial period to be sure it will last, particularly if the long-term goal is to have children and found a family."
What I find to be the most interesting out of all of this is, when the civil union was originally put into place it was for the benefit of same-sex couples, yet it has become a vehicle for opposite-sex couples–even though it grants them only a portion of the rights that marriage does. So, even given the opportunity to have "marital rights", heterosexual couples were still choosing to have a limited version.
In 2010 there were 196,000 heterosexual couples who chose to enter a Pacs to 252,000 couples who chose to marry. Why? Is it to lessen the severity of divorce? Is it to avoid commitment? to play house? If it's as trivial as the last two then would there be such a high outcome? Perhaps it has become a marriage lite: a way of side-stepping the marital pressures of society, while still maintaining a committed relationship.
As of Tuesday, April 23, France legalized gay marriage. I'm curious to learn, now that gay marriage is legal, what will become of the Pacs? Will France do away with it or will it now be a buffer for both heterosexual and homosexual marriages?
Our society is evolving, with gay marriage on the rise, civil unions will become a thing of the past. Will this one-time anomaly of the pacte civil de solidarité ever be repeated? Even if couples are somehow benefiting from it? How or why they are benefiting we may not know right now, but, its popularity among straight couples could shed light on a better future for marriage.

Happily for Markelle Fultz, his preseason debut with the 76ers not only doesn't count; it was barely counted.
A glitch with the stat system delayed delivery of the official box score. But in time, it appeared, in all its ugliness. In time there was confirmation that Fultz shot 2 for 13 and scored four points as the Sixers, minus Joel Embiid, lost to the Grizzlies, minus Mike Conley and Marc Gasol, by a 110-89 score Wednesday (see observations).
Nobody seemed too concerned about that, least of all Fultz himself.
"Everybody has a night like that," the rookie guard said. "It's a long season. There's going to be times when your shot's not falling."
Fultz made his first attempt, a backdoor lefty layup from Ben Simmons (more on him here), and his next-to-last try, an uncontested dunk off a feed from T.J. McConnell. In between, he missed 10 straight — three of them three-pointers, but most of the others within 10 feet of the rim.
Twice he was blocked by 6-foot-10 Deyonta Davis. Other times he couldn't quite coax his shots home. As Brett Brown said, "He's going into a whole different treeline."
Bigger and more athletic than the ones the No. 1 overall pick saw in his lone collegiate season at Washington. Takes some getting used to.
Conley, one of the league's finest point guards, knows all about it.
"We all go through it," he said, having rested and looked on from the bench. "It's just a stage."
Finishing is just part of the learning process for Fultz. There is also the adjustment to playing off the ball, playing alongside Simmons and facing down all the old heads who will surely test him.
And doing all that at age 19.
"He's raw right now," Grizzlies coach David Fizdale said, "and everybody is going to go after him because he is the No. 1 pick. That's to be expected."
Before the game, Fizdale praised Fultz's maturity, extolled the virtues of his "grown-up game." That, the coach added, will carry him through.
"He'll settle in and his talent will pick up," Fizdale said, "but there are a lot of guys where their first few games in this league, people are hunting for them just to test them out. He'll go through his bumps and bruises, but you can't deny that level of talent that's there. … I expect him to be a heck of a player in this league. It's just a matter of time."
A process, as it were.
"He's set himself up for this," Conley said. "He's built for this. He's trained for this. And I'm sure he's just going to be going through it the first couple games of preseason. After that, it's sit down, look at the film and learn from it, get better and be the guy that I know he believes he is."
Conley was the fourth overall pick in 2007, so he knows something about the pressure high draft picks face. (Not to mention those faced by well-compensated veterans. He signed a five-year, $153 million contract in 2016, which at that point was the richest in league history.)
"It's a lot of pressure (to be taken early), because you've got a lot of guys who know who you are, even though you haven't played a game yet," Conley said. "He's definitely going to get everybody's best shot. He's got to know that. You've got to be prepared for it."
But Conley also sees Fultz as a level-headed kid, as a guy who will weather the storm.
"He's got all the tools," he said. "Obviously one preseason game, you can't really judge anything. But his game, I think, is just going to continue to get better. Out there tonight, it looked like he's still trying to find his way — find his way through the offense."
Fultz believes he and Simmons can thrive together, that they have already made strides. He further believes that on nights when his shot isn't falling, he must seek out other ways to contribute.
And finally, he believes he is ready for the challenges ahead — like the one coming up Friday, when the Kyrie Irving-led Celtics come to town.
"I'm actually very, very excited just to test myself against somebody I grew up watching just last year in the Finals," Fultz said. "Getting the chance to go against one of the best point guards in the NBA right now, I think, will be a good challenge for myself."
No, that one won't count, either. Soon enough, though.

Alibaba is the dominant force in Internet retail in China, owning several e-commerce sites. Its most notable consumer portals are Taobao, a consumer-to-consumer marketplace similar to eBay, and TMall, a shopping hub for brands like Apple and Gap, to sell direct to customers.
Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba could raise up to $24.3 billion with its highly anticipated, and historic, initial public offering.
Alibaba plans to sell its stock for a price between $60 and $66 per share, according to a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing published Friday. This means the company could raise up to $24.3 billion, making it the largest public offering in US history. It also puts the company's value at about $155 billion at the midpoint of the range, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The Telegraph – "Heathrow Airport: We have a 30-strong waiting list"
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye has said 30 airlines are waiting to start new routes or increase their flights at the airport, but can't due to capacity constraints, in an article published in The Telegraph today.
The article, by Nathalie Thomas, goes on to explain how it is long-haul airlines from North America, South America and Asia that predominantly make up this list.
Significantly, markets in these areas are predicted to grow the most over the next 40 years, making direct air-connections vital for the UK maintaining its economic strength.
An excerpt of the article is included below:
John Holland-Kaye, Heathrow's chief executive, said the waiting list includes airlines from North America, South America and Asia as he sought to paint the West London hub, which is operating at more than 98pc of its maximum flight capacity, as a crucial part of Britain's future as a major exporter.
Mr Holland-Kaye pointed out that a quarter of British exports are flown abroad via Heathrow as he pressed the case for building a third runway at the airport.
Debate over the best location for a new runway in the south-east of England will take on a fresh ferocity over the next few weeks as the Airports Commission, a body set up to investigate the thorny issue of aviation capacity, prepares to launch a national consultation early next month. Heathrow is in a two-horse race with its West Sussex rival, Gatwick, for the right to build Britain's next runway.
Mr Holland-Kaye claimed Gatwick's second runway proposals are "primarily about low cost flights to Europe", while he claimed expanding Heathrow is important for the future of the British economy.
"There is massive demand for flights into Heathrow," the airports boss said. "There are Chinese carriers that are queuing up to get here. Air China told me they could have four flights a day coming into Heathrow if there was only more capacity."
He claimed airlines are instead launching routes from rival hub airports in France and Germany, rather than going to Gatwick.

On Tuesday November 22. 2011 we drove over to 902 North Front Street in Wormleysburg to visit the Yankee Doodle Diner. We were there last year, not long after they opened and we were very happy with the experience, so we decided it was time to stop by and see how things were going. If we sum this up in a word, it's "wow". The diner has a nice exterior and good parking. Inside, it's very nice, plenty of seating, both tables and booths. The service was spot on. Our waitress was not only very attentive and on the ball, she was nice to talk to and quite attractive too! When the food came out the "wow" factor went up a couple more notches as this was a seriously good plate of food. Large eggs that were perfectly cooked, excellent home fries and sausage links that rivaled the best we've ever been served. What a delicious breakfast! We talked to a couple people at a nearby table that told us this place was their favorite breakfast stop and they come here every week. We've seen some online articles where the owner, Victor Perez, states that they make the best omelets in the area. The omelets include portobello, irish with corned beef, onions and cheese, and cowboy omelets with peppers, sausage and mozzarella. Another breakfast favorite is Granny Apple pancakes with walnuts, apples and golden raisins. Of course they serve lots of great lunch and supper meals as well. They're open from 6AM to 10PM and you can call them at 731-9100. We were really impressed and we think you would be too. If you get a chance, stop by for a real breakfast treat!

This little boy sat in the water, cooling off from the heat, directly on top of a water spout. How old does he look to you?
He loved the feel of the cold water, contrasted with the ninety-eight-degree temperature of the day. There were other children in the fountain – running, splashing, yelling, having fun. But this little guy just sat in the water. He didn't need much; just to be there was enough. I asked around until I found his mother, and got permission to take the picture. I mentioned that I had children and grandchildren, and I thought her son was adorable. She looked at me, hesitated, then nodded OK, without saying a word.
After posting the picture on Facebook, I received comments from people all over the country. They wrote things like Cute, Adorable, Smart, Awww, and Can I Adopt Him. I "liked" every response.
A year later, I still wonder about him from time to time. What's his life like? Has he grown much? What's his family like? Does he ever go back to that fountain?
And I wonder about his future, too. What will become of him? Will he like school? What sports will he want to play? What kind of music? What does he want to do when he grows up? Although that may change a hundred times during his childhood.
Then, in light of recent stories in the news, I wonder if he'll turn out to be a good kid who grows into a fine young man, or if he'll get into trouble along the way. Will he ever be shot at by a gang, a friend, or a policeman? These thoughts are very real in America these days, and I wonder about this little guy.
I also wonder about my own grandchildren. One of my sons married a black woman, and they have children. I know their interests, their likes and dislikes, their preferences, what they want to be when they grow up. My eight-year-old granddaughter wants to be a doctor. Her five-year-old brother wants to be Buzz Lightyear or Spiderman, depending on the time of day, of course. They love school and learning. They love being part of a congregation of faith. They like movies, and playing family games. Life hasn't turned ugly for them, yet. But it could. Hate is a powerful force in America. Racism is still prevalent. Unkindness lurks.
I wonder how they might turn out, too. Will they fulfill their dreams? Will they get into trouble? Will they ever be the victims of prejudice or injustice? Will they have to defend themselves simply because their skin is darker, or their hair gives them away? Might they be subject to racial profiling some day? So far, they respect adults and those in authority such as teachers, pastors, and police officers. Will they ever find their trust betrayed? Will they ever be afraid of being shot by someone they trust?
When I finished my lunch appointment and walked back to my car, the little boy was gone. His mother must have decided he'd been in the fountain long enough. He probably needed lunch. Perhaps it was nap time. Maybe she needed to go to work.
