Refurbishment of Young Person's Hostel
BM Service:
Design & Supervision
First Wessex
This young persons direct access hostel represented a challenge to the team to create a welcoming environment and a safe and friendly home.
Originally built in the 1980's, the hostel required major updating. We were sensitive to the support the residents need with their daily living skills to help develop their emotional wellbeing and confidence. The new scheme also had to stand up to the wear and tear of a changing group of residents.
Working under a JCT Intermediate contract Boulter Mossman designed a new layout and supervised the refurbishment of 20 single bedrooms with shared bathrooms and kitchens, plus staff and office accommodation and two disabled units, refreshing the spaces to suit the 16-25 year olds who will live here.

Ironic Contradictions
I'm a long time reader - since way back when I was seven. That makes it over three quarters of my life that I will be a reader for. But it is worth it. When I'm not reading or wasting my time online on here or Goodreads I'll be off playing video games, studying teaching and messing around with friends and pop culture. Or reading some more.

One can only go so far before the lack of depth in a graphic novel kicks in. And unfortunately X-Men: S.W.O.R.D (which has hardly any links to the X-Men save from ex-X-man beast who looks rather horse-like in this art style) lacks any real depth. When one has already encountered great works like [b:Batman: Noel|11186443|Batman Noel|Lee Bermejo|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1341435405s/11186443.jpg|16111174] or [b:Batman: Knightfall, Vol. 1|12623655|Batman Knightfall, Vol. 1 (New Edition)|Chuck Dixon|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1335301972s/12623655.jpg|17670533] it's easy to understand what a truly good graphic novel/comic should appear like and it's safe to say that this S.W.O.R.D volume is not a great graphic novel.
The plot follows S.W.O.R.D's attempt to send all alien life forms on Earth back home while a bounty hunter and some Drenx warships threaten to throw everything into chaos. There's also a manipulative alien droid in the background. Which all sounds fun enough, however the way everything is handled makes for a particularly scrappy graphic novel experience. Meaning that the artwork seems rushed, the scripting seems slightly juvenile and the characters seem distorted. Normally Marvel does an excellent job of creating reasonable quality stories, however this time they have failed dismally.
The one thing saving this work from being considered a one star disaster is that it is readable on a superficial level and therefore mildly entertaining. However it is not a particularly good work and therefore little can be said about it. So, this should serve as a warning to those looking for a decent graphic novel. Stay away from this S.W.O.R.D volume and pursue the major story arcs instead. Or just watch the Marvel films, they're all pretty much quality (the new ones at least).

Getting data off-site, managing long term data retention, providing business continuity and backup verification have been some of the hardest problems for backup professionals to solve. The cloud provides some relief but it, by itself, is not enough. The right on-prem hardware, with the right software and just the right amount of cloud has the potential to eliminate these challenges that have been plaguing the backup process for decades. In this ChalkTalk Video my colleague Curtis Preston talks with Mohammad AlShafe from Unitrends about these issues and how Unitrends is leveraging its hardware, software and the cloud to solve them.

Those with square face shapes have strong jawlines. Individuals with square faces also have foreheads that are as wide as their jaws. This strong face shape can be softened with your brows during a microblading appointment. Consider soft, curved eyebrows when it comes to microblading.
A gently curved brow will balance out the strong shapes of your face. These brows will arch up slowly, and then arch back down slowly. The arch is not too high or sharp. Adding a soft curve to the arch will increase the softness of the brow and compliment your face. This curve will also help your face appear more round, evening out the sharp lines of your features.
Learn more about what eyebrow shape suits your face best before heading to your microblading appointment. If you're unsure, Heather Gordon, your professional eyebrow artist in Frisco, Texas will help you determine the perfect shape for your face.

One project David worked on is the Early Learning STEM Australia (ELSA) pilot project developed by SERC , and led a workshop about the role of spatial thinking in STEM. The ELSA app uses song and dance to engage students across a 100 preschools in Australia, and gives teachers flexibility in the interoperation of its use.
You can learn more about SERC from Director Thomas Lowrie, who had this to say about the work done by SERC, "This research has allowed us to open the door to opportunities for action-based educational experiences and greater collaboration with educators and the wider STEM industry,".

Well, the car is back running 100%, no thank you to Tires Plus Total Car Care in Champaign, IL. After the previous happenings with the broken rim, I waited seven days for the replacement rim to come in before finally giving them a call to see what the deal was. I was told I'd have to wait two or three days, tops. I give them a call, and the guy tells me he was just on his way out to go pick it up and would have it in twenty minutes. Probably half an hour later as I am heading out the door, he calls me back to inform me that they had the wrong rim. He said that if I wanted he could put that one on to get me by for now, while he continued looking for the right rim. How long was that going to be?! I told him I'd think about it, and get back to him.
After that, I logged on to TireRack.Com, found my rim, found the two tires, placed my order and 20 hours later had them delivered to my doorstep. I even paid for the 2-3 day shipping, but it didn't even take a full day. Tires Plus = 7 Days to find me the wrong rim. TireRack.Com = 20 hours to deliver the right rim, plus two tires to my front door. From now on I will be going with TireRack.Com 100% of the time for my tire needs, and perhaps more. I'd highly recommend them to anyone.

Two years after breaking ground in Hollywood—and just in time for its 50th anniversary—the Los Angeles LGBT Center celebrates the grand opening of the unprecedented Anita May Rosenstein Campus on Sunday, April 7, to which the public is invited. The all-day festivities include a ribbon cutting, entertainment, and guided tours of the two-acre complex, which will enable a dramatic expansion of intergenerational services, including 100 beds for homeless youth, a new Senior Community Center and Youth Academy, as well as expanded programming, administrative space, and more.
The Campus also serves as the Center's flagship building, with its current headquarters (located at the four-story McDonald/Wright Building) being transformed entirely into a health and medical center.
Celebrities scheduled to appear or perform include Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie); Kathy Griffin (My Life on the D-List); Jenifer Lewis (Blackish); Wilson Cruz (Star Trek: Discovery); Alexandra Billings (Transparent); Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman (UnREAL); Bex Taylor-Klaus (Arrow); Shangela (RuPaul's Drag Race); Brian Justin Crum (America's Got Talent); Lala Kent (Vanderpump Rules); Shira Lazar (What's Trending); Trans Chorus of LA; Denise Frasier Band; Ezra Michel; Parson James; and DJ Ryan Kenney. More celebrities and dignitaries to be announced!
Envisioned by the Center more than a decade ago, the sprawling campus was brought to fruition by more than 165 capital campaign donors, including the $7.27 million lead gift by Anita May Rosenstein and her family foundations. Architects on the project were executive architects KFA Architecture (2016 California Council AIA Firm Award winner) and design architects Leong Leong. Swinerton Builders was the contractor. Phase II of the Campus—scheduled to open in early 2020—will include 99 units of affordable housing for seniors and 25 supportive housing apartments for youth.
Due to the large attendance expected at the celebration, visitors and guests are highly encouraged to use public transportation or a rideshare service. There will be no parking provided on site. Street parking only, where available.

Saint of the Month - Saint Gall, the Enlightener of Switzerland (640), October 16
Gall was born in Ireland in 540 to wealthy Christian parents, his older brother was the monk Saint Deicolus. Gall's parents sent him to the Monastery of Bangor for his education. There he embraced the ascetical life and became a monk like his brother. The two brothers were among the twelve monks who traveled with their spiritual father St. Columbanus as missionaries to Gaul [France].
In time some of the group traveled into pagan lands, up the Rhine River to Lake Zurich. There the monks settled on Lake Constance around a chapel dedicated to St. Aurelia, which had been taken by the pagans as a shrine; they cleansed and deconsecrated the chapel, which became the center of their new monastery.
Saint Gall lived as a hermit, serving the brethren by making nets and catching fish. In 612 St. Columbanus went on to Italy with most of his disciples, leaving St. Gall and a few others to continue their life. When St. Gall delivered Frideburga, the daughter of a local duke, from a demon, he offered the saint a tract of land on the shores of Lake Constance; here was founded the monastery that in later times bore St. Gall's name.
The most popular story about St. Gall says that once he was travelling in the woods of what is now Switzerland. One evening he was sitting down warming his hands at a fire. A bear emerged from the woods and charged. The holy man rebuked the bear, so awed by his presence it stopped its attack and slunk off to the trees. There it gathered firewood before returning to share the heat of the fire with St. Gall. The legend says that for the rest of his days St. Gall was followed around by his companion the bear. They say that St. Gall would often play the 'bodhran' or Irish drum and that the bear would dance for him.
At various times, the holy St. Gall refused calls to become a bishop or to become Abbot of the great monastery at Luxeuil. To all such requests, he answered that he would prefer to serve than to command. He continued living in his isolated monastic community until he reposed in peace in 640, at the age of ninety-nine. In later years, and continuing well into the middle ages, the Monastery of St. Gall became famed for the holiness of its monks and its extensive library.

Contact: Ruben Obregon, President, No Room for Contraception, 202-470-6854, firstname.lastname@example.com
NEW YORK, Aug. 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- The No Room for Contraception campaign issued the following statement regarding today's Plan B decision by the FDA.
Ruben Obregon, President of the campaign, said "This scheme is irresponsible at best – as it is, untold numbers of minors buy cigarettes and alcohol using fake or borrowed identification. Now they will do the same with Plan B emergency contraception, putting their health at risk. In addition, this pill can easily be obtained by adult friends and siblings and given to minors without knowledge or consent of their parents."
"Over the counter access to emergency contraception will make minors more vulnerable to sexual abuse. Easy access to Plan B will allow sexual predators to cover up their crimes by making a simple trip to the pharmacy."
"Plan B is also thought to be capable of preventing implantation, which means that it is capable of interfering with an existing pregnancy despite denials that it can't. The long held medical view of pregnancy, contrary to the claims of Plan B advocates, is that pregnancy begins at fertilization (or just after), and not implantation. A fertilized egg is, in fact, an existing pregnancy."
"Make no mistake about it – this drug has the potential to cause abortions and interfere with existing pregnancies. Contrary to the claims of Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc, the National Institutes of Health, and the FDA, pregnancy begins prior to implantation."
"Medical dictionaries attest to the fact that pregnancy begins before implantation." Obregon continued, "For example, the 28th edition of Stedman's and the 7th edition of Mosby's Medical Dictionaries do not support the claim that implantation is the start of pregnancy. Rather, these highly respected medical dictionaries define pregnancy as beginning before implantation – either at fertilization or just after fertilization -- which occurs several days before implantation."
The campaign has a dedicated a section of its website to addressing the myth that Plan B does not cause abortions or interfere with existing pregnancies. This informative section can be found at: http://www.NoRoomforContraception.com/pregnancy
No Room for Contraception is a campaign to expose the potential problems of contraception on marriage, society and women's health. The campaign's website is located at www.NoRoomforContraception.com

PLATTSBURGH, NY -- The Williams Ephs (7-5-2, 4-2-2 NESCAC) lost a hard fought battle to the Plattsburgh State Cardinals (8-8, 3-4 SUNYAC) 3-1 tonight in the Ronald B. Stafford Ice Arena. While goaltender Stephen Morrissey made 33 saves, the Eph offense was unable to generate their normal success, scoring just one goal despite their 3.45 goals per game average.
The Ephs came into this match 7-4-2, 4-2-2 in the conference. Williams defeated Manhattanville on the road 4-0 yesterday.
The Cardinals came into this match 7-8 overall, and 3-4 in their conference. Plattsburgh defeated Middlebury yesterday at home 5-2.
"Overall I thought it was a pretty good game," commented Williams head coach Bill Kangas. "Plattsburgh scored to take the lead with around a minute left. This was a tough week for us, three hard matches in a row, so I viewed this game as us finishing strong on the week. Despite the result, we did some good things out there."
In net for the Ephs tonight was junior Stephen Morrissey, making his fourth consecutive start for the Ephs. Morrissey came into this match after a shutout against Manhattanville yesterday, where he stopped all 25 shots faced. Morrissey came into this match with an intimidating save percentage of .976.
In net for Plattsburgh was senior Brady Rouleau, who came into this match with a .879 save percentage.
The first period was scoreless, but it did in fact set the tone of the game: a physical hard hitting match up. Five penalties were called in the first 20 minutes of play, though neither team was able to convert on the man advantage.
At 7:17 of the second period, the penalties begun again, the first being called on Eph freshman Peter Christie for hooking. Not long after that power play ended, concurrent penalties were called, one for Eph senior Sam Gray for hooking, and one for Cardinal freshman Evan Lindquist for slashing.
At 17:57 of the second period, Williams sophomore Roberto Cellini took a five minute major penalty for facemasking. At the same time, senior Tyler Young was called to the box for roughing, giving the Cardinals a 5-3 advantage for two minutes.
Plattsburgh took advantage of this power play opportunity, when at 19:52, sophomore Ross Sloan (second goal) was able to get one past Morrissey on a play assisted by freshmen Joe Drabin (sixth assist) and Charles Barber (seventh assist). This brought the game to 1-0 heading into the final period of play.
Plattsburgh went into the third period with 2:57 left on the 5-4 man advantage following Cellini's penalty.
"I thought we played well in the third period to come back from the one goal deficit," noted Kangas. "We also killed the end of that five minute major, after the 5-3 resulted in their goal, for a solid three minutes, which I think gave us some momentum into the third period to bring us to tie the game halfway through the period."
At 6:52 of the third period, Williams evened up the score at 1-1, when senior Sam Gray fired one off from the left wing circle, the puck avoiding the screen and finding the back of the net. Gray, with his first goal of the season, was assisted on the equalizer by senior Taylor Carmola (first assist) and junior C.J. Shugart (fourth assist).
At 7:33 Cardinal freshman Noah Batis was called to the penalty box for elbowing, however that power play opportunity proved to be fruitless for the Ephs.
At 18:50, on a broken play, Cardinal sophomore Nick Belger (third goal) was able to bank one off of Morrissey from behind the crease to secure the game winning goal for Plattsburgh State. Belger was assisted on the play by junior Matt Quilty (fourth assist) and sophomore Cam Owens (fourth assist). This brought the game to 2-1.
At 19:26 of the third period, after Morrissey had been pulled to gain the extra offensive player, junior Ayrton Valente scored an unassisted empty netter for his third goal of the season. The game ended with the score at 3-1.
Shot count at the end of the game was heavily in favor of Plattsburgh, 33-15.
Coach Kangas spoke to the team's position in the league and nationally with around half the season remaining: "The way we finished this last weekend and really competed in particular, shows us what we are capable of. What we need to address now is focusing on a next shift mentality."
"You look around the league and country in our division right now, and things are pretty wide open. So it is important for us to not look ahead or around us, but to stay focused on what we need to do, to look at ourselves every day and just try and get a little bit better. We need to continue to just address all of the little things, and have players look to get better as individuals."
The Ephs next face Bowdoin at home in Williamstown next Friday (Jan 20) at 7:00 PM EST. Plattsburgh State's next match is next Friday (Jan 20) at home against Morrisville State College at 7:00 PM EST.

Chicken Politics
From the Seattle Coffeehouse in Gwangyang, Republic of Korea: If I ask a Southerner at the USMMA about Chick-fil-A, he or she will often rave about the crispy chicken sandwich the restaurant serves up. If I ask someone from the Northeast, a blank stare is likely, the same way that you'll catch me with if you ask me about Jack-in-the-Box (never been there). The chicken establishment's sole presence in DC is a new food truck and a limited selection at the Catholic University's food court. To get a Metro-rail accessible chicken fix, take the orange line to Ballston Commons Mall, or the blue line to Crystal City; both across the Potomac River in Arlington County, VA. Based on what I've seen in the news and on comments forums on those news articles, I'm not expecting a Chick-fil-A in DC anytime soon. To date, there has been a correlation between conservative-controlled districts and the existence of Chick-fil-A. Especially in the DC area. For example, in Maryland, its presence is minimal in DC's suburbs; yet there is one every few miles along I-95 in the Northeast part of the state; and there's a whole line of 'em down State Route 2. Easier to see, take a map, paint red each county with a conservative-controlled government (conserva-Dems included), add the state's two Republican congressmen, and locate the Chick-fil-A's. It'd be a peculiar business strategy if the company intentionally expanded this way, but Chick-fil-A is now breaking new ground up north, but not without resistance by elected officials. In Boston, according the the DC Examiner, Mayor Thomas Manino had tried to block Chick-fil-A from opening shop, but had no legal ground. In Chicago, the mayor raised a storm as well. Says Mayor Rahm Emanuel: "Chick fil A's values are not Chicago values". I wonder what the Chamber of Commerces of Boston and Chicago think. And the same news from DC's mayorial bullpen: "Gray, a Democrat, referred to the company's product as "hate chicken" in a tweet on Friday. His statement... followed similar statements by mayors in Boston, Chicago and San Francisco that the company was not welcome" (AP). (Don't make me feel bad, Vincent). But, from the DC Examiner, "Robert Turner, president of D.C. Log Cabin Republicans, provided his thoughts on the matter to Yeas & Nays. He sees no issue with enjoying a spicy chicken sandwich and also supporting the right of two men or women to walk down the aisle together. "No problem at all," he said. "At the end of the day, if one looks deeply at the companies one patronizes -- eating at Chick-fil-A, shopping on Amazon, ordering a Coke with your meal -- you'll find a multitude of issues where you and that company disagree." http://washingtonexaminer.com/d.c.-log-cabin-republicans-dont-mind-eating-at-chick-fil-a/article/2502621 And in New York City, Chick-fil-A is noticeably absent, except for a small presence in the NYU cafeteria. I wouldn't expect a branch to open in the East Village, but a Chick-fil-A would blend into one of Great Neck's storefronts. And the Subway sub shop would see some competition for midshipmens' dollars.

With the college basketball season finished, the draft order announced, and the NBA Finals fully underway, it is finally time to shift focus to the draft in June. After a multitude of changes over the past few months, franchises will decide who will be a major part of their respective futures. Here are my potential lottery selections for the 2019 NBA Draft:
1. Zion Williamson (F/C – Duke) → New Orleans Pelicans
The most coveted young prospect to come into the league since Lebron James, Zion Williamson is a truly unique player with unprecedented talent. His freakish athletic ability, paired with a 6'7'', 280-pound makes him nearly unstoppable in transition. Williamson has exhibited an incredible desire and work ethic to be the best player at the next level. Without a doubt, he will have the keys the Pelicans future, with the hope that he develops into the perennial superstar that New Orleans will need in order to turn the franchise around, especially since many expect that Anthony Davis will leave the team via trade or free agency. The Duke product lacks a consistent jump shot but should have a chance to develop that into his game in the coming years. Averaging 22.6 points and 8.9 rebounds per contest while shooting an astounding 67% from the field during his freshman year, the reigning College Player of the Year has an opportunity to take the NBA by storm and bring New Orleans back to relevance.
2. Ja Morant (PG – Murray State) → Memphis Grizzlies
Morant has placed himself in the conversation as one of the premier talents in this year's upcoming draft class. With an incredible NCAA tournament and an even better regular season at Murray State where he averaged 24.5 points, 10.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds a night while shooting 50% from the field and 36% from three, Morant has shown that he can be an excellent floor general, while still being able to score in key situations. His above-the-rim style of play will bring energy to a Memphis offense that needs a spark to pair with promising young forward Jaren Jackson Jr. Morant's lethal combination of speed, passing ability, and versatile scoring will allow him to play a significant role on a rebuilding Grizzlies team, and replace the aging Mike Conley.
3. R.J. Barrett (G/F – Duke) → New York Knicks
Barrett is an elite athlete who can make an immediate impact in the NBA. It is quite possible that the Knicks are receiving a bargain by drafting Barrett at the third spot, who was projected to go 1st overall before the season started. During his freshman year at Duke, he averaged 22.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists, displaying an excellent ability to grab defensive boards and space the floor. However, struggles from three-point range (31% from distance) and at the free-throw line (67%) are a bit concerning. Being the huge market that New York is, adding the Duke freshman will only attract more big-name free agents who want to join the young Knicks core in hopes of bringing a Larry O'Brien Trophy back to the metropolitan area.
4. Deandre Hunter (F – Virginia) → Los Angeles Lakers
Being the best player on Virginia's 2019 NCAA Championship team, Hunter has all of the makings to immediately becoming a two-way threat in the NBA. The reigning ACC Defensive Player of the Year will step in and help any team on the defensive end, but his potential will depend on how he develops his offensive game. Averaging 15.2 points and 5.1 rebounds while shooting 44% in his last season in college, the Cavalier product has an incredibly high floor, making him a safe choice for immediate production while the Lakers try to contend during Lebron James' final years of his prime.
5. Jarrett Culver (SG – Texas Tech) → Cleveland Cavaliers
Culver has risen tremendously on all NBA Draft boards over this past college basketball season. Leading Texas Tech to a national championship loss only improves his prospects, as the Red Raiders product gave scouts an even greater look at his all-around game throughout March Madness. Averaging 18.5 points and 6.4 rebounds per contest during his sophomore campaign, Culver displayed terrific offensive ability and solid skills on the defensive end. Culver will have plenty of room to grow on a rebuilding Cleveland team, with an all-around game that should translate well to the NBA. However, the Big-12 Player of the Year lacks a consistent three-point shot (30% from distance) and will need to improve from deep in order to flourish in the league.
6. Darius Garland (PG – Vanderbilt) → Phoenix Suns
One of the most intriguing prospects in this upcoming draft class, Garland only played five games before tearing his meniscus against Kent State. However, in those five games, the Vanderbilt product averaged 16.2 points while shooting 48% from three. The #1 point guard from the Class of 2018, Garland displayed incredible speed and playmaking ability before going down with an injury and will have an opportunity to prove himself in the NBA and form a lethal tandem with long-range deadeye Devin Booker in Phoenix. The Suns have continually been at the bottom of the league over the past few seasons, but with the addition of Garland, they just might be able to look upwards, with budding young talent in Deandre Ayton and Mikal Bridges.
7. Coby White (G – North Carolina) → Chicago Bulls
A combo-guard who can score from anywhere on the court, Coby White has the ability to electrify an offense and make everyone around him better. In his one year under Roy Williams at the University of North Carolina, White averaged 16.1 points and 4.1 assists, shooting a very solid 35% from distance. With the ability to play at the one or the two, the 19-year-old will give Bulls head coach Jim Boylen plenty of options of incorporating him into the offense. Chicago, with the addition of White, will have an excellent young core with the likes of Zach Lavine and Wendell Carter Jr.
8. Cam Reddish (SG/SF – Duke) → Atlanta Hawks
One of the more underwhelming performers in college basketball last season, Cam Reddish struggled to be a consistent contributor on a wildly successful Blue Devils team. Taking somewhat of a backseat to star teammates R.J. Barrett and Zion Williamson at Duke, Reddish only showed glimpses of his potential in college. However, this may have been enough, as the Duke product's length and raw ability leaves plenty of room for growth and development. Adding a young wing in Reddish would be a perfect fit for an Atlanta team that is building for the future and is missing a major presence on the wings. He has the size and talent to become star scorer alongside Trae Young and has decent playmaking skills, averaging 13.5 points and 3.7 rebounds, while only shooting 36% from the field. Questions remain about his effort and consistency, however, which seemed to be an issue at the end of the season.
9. Nassir Little (SF – North Carolina) → Washington Wizards
After a disappointing freshman season at the University of North Carolina in which he played less than 20 minutes a night, averaging 9.8 points and 3.6 rebounds, Little's draft stock greatly diminished. Nevertheless, the 19-year-old has the size and quickness to play several positions but is an extremely raw talent who needs to improve shooting, after nailing only 26.9% of his threes. Although these numbers are anything but eye-popping, the freshman's star potential is there, and Little, standing at 6'7" and 220 pounds, has extraordinary athleticism and has shown flashes of brilliance on both ends of the court. The Wizards are leaning towards a rebuild, which will allow the UNC product plenty of time to develop in the NBA and become the player that was so highly-touted coming out of high school.
10. Bol Bol (C – Oregon) → Atlanta Hawks
The son of one of the tallest players in NBA history, Bol Bol's 7'3'' frame, along with a 7'8'' wingspan, makes him one of the most fascinating prospects in this year's draft class. Before injuring his left foot that will hold him out for the remainder of the college basketball season, the freshman big man was averaging 21.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks through 9 games, also shooting 52% from 3-point range. His combination of size and skill will fit perfectly in Atlanta's system, as three-point shooting is becoming a focal part of their offense. Adding on to a team that is already building a powerful young core in Trae Young, John Collins, and, according to this mock draft, Cam Reddish, Bol can add significant value to a team that needs an athletic player in the frontcourt that spaces the floor and create open shots.
11. Brandon Clarke (PF – Gonzaga) → Minnesota Timberwolves
One of the biggest risers as a result of the NCAA Tournament, Brandon Clarke is a versatile defender with explosive athleticism. However, his offensive game will need some work in the NBA, as he lacks a consistent outside shot. Averaging 16.9 points and 8.6 rebounds during his junior year at Gonzaga, the WCC Defensive Player of the Year has an opportunity to become a consistent contributor on a rebuilding Timberwolves team, with the chance of partnering up with Karl Anthony-Towns to improve Minnesota's prospects in a competitive Western Conference.
12. Jaxson Hayes (PF/C – Texas) → Charlotte Hornets
In limited minutes during his one season at the University of Texas, Hayes displayed an incredible rim-protecting ability, averaging 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per contest while shooting an impressive 73% from the field. Hayes is a raw, athletic big man who has the size and agility to become a major finisher above the rim. His long wingspan and quickness will allow him the potential to become an elite presence down low at the next level and will give the Hornets organization a piece to hold onto for the future.
13. Romeo Langford (G – Indiana) → Miami Heat
After coming into the year with an expectation of being a top-10 pick, Langford let scouts down after lacking a consistent three-point shot in his freshman year at Indiana (27% from distance), putting up 16.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game for an underperforming Hoosiers team. At the draft combine, the Indiana freshman will have an opportunity to showcase his offensive skills and quiet fears regarding his scoring ability. On a Heat team that has struggled to stay competitive since Lebron James' departure, Langford will be able to zone in on his weaknesses and improve over the next few seasons, hoping to play a pivotal role in rebuilding the franchise.
14. Sekou Doumbouya (F – France) → Boston Celtics
A physically impressive but untested international talent, Doumbouya has shown tremendous upside in limited minutes in France, averaging 13.3 points and 5.8 rebounds in the Poitiers League. His potential as a shooter and defender will make him an interesting option for the Celtics, who will give the 18-year-old an opportunity to adjust the faster pace of the NBA and eventually play an important role on a championship-caliber team.

Spent another day futzing around with the postcards I'm sending out about our group show at Hawthorn Gallery. I don't know why I have to be so picky, but as I was stuffing the cards into neon-colored envelopes, I suddenly realized that once people opened them and tossed the envelope, they would no longer have my phone #, address, or website.
So I designed a big sticker to add to the postcards with all that information, plus a bonus cartoon. My theory has always been that people will always read the cartoon first. I was actually very proud of figuring out how to overprint the color on the Avery labels so my cartoon has a full-bleed. Ho ho, more fun with common office products.
I know I spend too long on these mailings, but I really feel that they are like little gifts I'm sending out to friends and family in the mail, and I like them to be just right. I especially like picking out pretty stamps at the post office. These cards will be mailed with the New Year's Lunar collector stamps.
So now it's back to Office Max to get more neon envelopes…

text: This turkey of an exhibition fits right into the holiday spirit. One of the most boring exhibitions I've ever seen. The notion of 100 Monkeys typing on typewriters for 100 years may by chance produce a great novel has an equvalent in the art world, to whit; give any artist six million dollars and they might produce good art. But then again they might not as is the case with this show. There are no photos because the guards at the exhibition (there must have been 10) prevented me from taking photos. I guess you'll just have to buy the expensive coffee table book on this exhibition. Remember the end of the eighties when the Neo-Excess movement was so FATUOUS. Yes, this show equals anything that Schnabel could produce.

Following the debut of the avant-garde C4 Cactus back in 2014, Citroën has employed many of the design features found on the large hatchback on its models ever since – including the distinctive airbumps.
Now, the updated C4 Cactus is upon us, and here we get to see what Citroen has learned over the last four years in terms of design and what could potentially lead the way for future Citroën models.
With a toned-down look, the newest version of the family hatchback comes with some innovative features, such as the Advanced Comfort seating and suspension setup, and a refreshed design.
But can the new, more mature Cactus be less divisive than the opinion-splitting last version? We take a look…
With three petrol options and a single diesel unit available, the Cactus has plenty to offer in terms of powertrains – but the petrol engines are so good, there's no need to go for the diesel. We tested the mid-level 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol, which in this case produced 109bhp and 205Nm of torque, and was paired to a five-speed manual gearbox.
This car isn't built to be quick and the 0-60mph time of 9.2 seconds is more than adequate in the real world. It has a top speed of 117mph, but you aren't likely to reach that anytime. It works well on the motorway as it is smooth enough, and performs excellently in the urban environment where it is most at home.
Ride & Handling
As is the way with other Citroën models, the new Cactus is set up to be comfortable and very easy to drive. With its Advanced Comfort setup that adds hydraulics to each suspension element, the Cactus soaks up plenty of bumps on rougher roads and is super smooth on motorways and larger A-roads.
With the setup making it very simple to drive in most situations, the steering is light and doesn't have the most feel in the world, but the Cactus corners very flat and body roll isn't too prevalent.
Interior & Equipment
Like the exterior design, the cabin of the Cactus is very stylish indeed, with the seats also employing the Advanced Comfort concept. With special compact foam that offers comfort and support, the Cactus seating is durable and very accommodating on longer journeys.
Interior space is also very good for a large hatchback as the Citroën designers have cleverly arranged and sculpted the surfaces to optimise the area with the dimensions on offer. For example, the backs of the front seats have been sculpted to allow for more knee room and the door trim is shaped to allow for more shoulder and elbow room.
Equipment-wise, the C4 Cactus does offer plenty in either the Feel or Flair trim levels, with the base Feel spec offering a seven-inch touchscreen that controls most of the vehicle's features, smartphone connectivity with Apple and Android devices, air conditioning, cruise control and electric windows. You also get 16-inch alloy wheels, a cloth interior and other tasteful design features – although there are plenty of customisation options for your choosing.Save money on a new Citroen today
Prices for the C4 Cactus start at a very reasonable £17,265, with the Feel model we had on test costing just £700 more due to the engine choice. Compared to similarly-sized models, this puts the Cactus in an advantageous position as it does well indeed.
In terms of fuel usage, this petrol returns a quoted 62.8mpg – very good for an engine in this segment – and only emits 104g/km CO2, leading to low first-year tax.
Overall, the Citroën C4 Cactus is more appealing to the market as the design isn't as quirky and outlandish as before, as well as the engine offerings being very economical. The new suspension tech soaks up most of the bumps, and when combined with the special cushioning in the seats the Cactus has a very comfortable ride indeed. In short, the C4 Cactus is a more than worthy option in the large hatchback market and one that is rather affordable, too.

I had a great weekend. My girlfriend and I celebrated 7 months of dating, I carried on one of my oldest traditions by watching the epic slice of awesome that is V for Vendetta on November 5th, and my girlfriend and I sat down and watched the first few episodes of ABC's new show "Once Upon a Time".
Now once again let me remind you I was in a really good mood as I watched this. I had a beautiful girl sitting next to me and a plate full of pizza on my lap. Granted the guy who gave us our pizza at "An Unnamed Pizza Place that Rhymes with Weezer Nut" was really really strange. My current working theory is that he was secretly possessed by Larry: Norse god of Stupid. And speaking of dear old Larry, let's talk about Once Upon A Time.
The Plot:
Once Upon a Time opens with some dude riding a horse… and then continues to open with a guy riding a horse… and then continues… with a guy on a horse… Still a horse…. I went to the bathroom somewhere in here and when I got back he was still on a horse… then I baked a cake, read a novel, climbed Mount Olympus, and discovered the ancient and revered burial plot of Willy the Socially Awkward Penguin and when I returned the guy was just getting off his horse.
It seemed that this was the Prince from Snow White he of the creepy "I'm going to enter singing this song" fame. Anyway he arrived just in time for the seven dwarfs to tell him that Snow White was dead. The Prince then leaves flowers at her grave, delivers a touching Eulogy and leaves. No sorry, I kid. The Prince demands to be allowed to kiss Snow White's moldy old corpse lips and low and behold rigamortis has set in and the Prince catches the black plague. No sorry, I kid. Snow White is magically returned to life and we are instantly transported to the scene of a wedding wherein Prince Charmin' and Snow White are about to get wedded.
Just when everything seems to be going so well for our Hero and Heroett though, who should come swooshing in but the evil-queen-witch-person-thing. She shouts a lot and overacts and promises she's going to "ruin all your happy endings" and "destroy your dreams" and "make all of your Velcro un-attach at the worst possible moment." The whole time she's delivering this speech she's surrounded by guards with pikes all of whom seem far too busy wondering who designed their ridiculous looking helmets to actually do anything. Anyway after promising that "mine will be the only happy ending" the witch (I know she's a witch cause Snow White clarified it by saying "She's nothing but a witch" thanks Snow White) walks away, but before she gets away the Prince yells "HEY!" And throws his sword at her. Yup. "HEY!" *sword throw*.
Anyway to speed through the rest of the plot real fast the witch ends up casting some big old spell over everyone and they all get transported to our world without any memory of who they are or why they're there or who won super bowl 39.
Except that is for Snow White's… Snow Charming? I mean she is married after all right? Anyway Charming White sends her baby to our world through a magical wardrobe… wait a second… what's that? …What? Oh that's CS Lewis rolling over in his grave yelling "copyright" Sorry C.S. nothin' I can do at this point man. Anyway they teleport Snow White's daughter the "totally not inspired by twilight" Emma Swan to a different part of our world in the hopes that she'll eventually come and save them all from the evil Queen/Witch who does remember who she is for reasons that are never really made entirely clear.
The Negatives:
Okay let's take a second and get down to the nitty gritty here. The first thing you need to know is that the acting in this show is (with very few exceptions) absolutely terrible. The Queen and Snow White (who you may have noticed from the introduction thing are sort of important) are probably the worst offenders though dishonorable mentions goes to a cameo by Maleficent (the bad witch from Cinderella) and Prince Charming who (despite having almost no dialogue) had me wanting to throw an enchanted sleeping Turnip at his overly scruffy face. I was honestly very very surprised by the utter horribleness demonstrated by 90 percent of the characters in the show. ABC generally does a good job with casting but all of the horrendous over acting and whiny attempts at conveying real emotions really hurt the show in my mind.
The real culprit though. The creamy filling to this donut of dreary is a script that I'm convinced was written by a parrot. A drunk parrot. With a peg leg. Whose cage was being juggled by Hercules's twin brother Failulese. Some highlights for you (in addition to the aforementioned "hey" debacle).
Maleficent: If you're going to kill me… (long dramatic pause)… then kill me.
Me: Really? Oh okay. Well I was going to kill you but I guess I'll just kill you then. I mean you can get by with that line if you just fly through it and hope the audience forgets it but having a long pause and then essentially repeating the line you just said is stupid… (long pause)… Stupid.
Snow Charming: Where are you sending us?
Evil Queen/Witch: Some place horrible!?!?
Me: Really? Oh. Cause I thought you were second us to Disney world. Or potentially the Alps for our annual summer ski trip. But man… some place horrible? That seems… (long pause)… horrible. Like you'd think you were some sort of evil Queen witch thing or something. That's it then, no Christmas Cards for you this year.
The Positrons:
Yes there were some good things this series had: the main character Emma Swan (as played by Jennifer Morrison of House M.D. fame) is actually well acted and decently interesting. Rumpelstiltskin (played by Robert Carlyle) is very well done as well and probably the most interesting character out of the bunch.
Secondly, the idea behind Once Upon a Time is really really interesting. It's poorly executed with the bad acting and patchwork writing job majorly dragging it down but buried underneath it all is a very cool idea.
In Conclusion:
I still feel… conflicted about this series on the whole. The acting is bad, the writing is worse but there is a very cool idea lurking in the background. Who knows maybe as the characters become better defined the writing will get better and the actors will start to feel a little more comfortable within their characters. And maybe not. If nothing else I'll probably keep watching Once Upon A Time at least for a little while. It's certainly not what I would call "great TV" but with Doctor Who gone for the season I suppose I've got a little room in my heart for fairy tales… (long pause)… fairy… (longer pause)… tales.

Fabulous Peculiarities
The Art of Tony Calzetta
- 2015 INDIES Finalist
- Finalist, Art (Adult Nonfiction)
The book's true focus is not just the art—it's the story behind the art—and Calzetta's influences and motivations are revealed.
Tom Smart profiles the art and career of a notable artist in the penetrating analysis Fabulous Peculiarities: The Art of Tony Calzetta. The cover is based on an image by Calzetta called SNOOP, Protégé of Snap, and its vibrant, contrasting colors demand attention, setting the stage for a closer examination of this, and his other artworks.
Calzetta's art is of the type that is often immediately dismissed with the standard "My kid could do that!" line. But hidden in its simplicity are scores of decisions and experiments involving color, composition, and attempts to bring a dynamic sense of action to two-dimensional paintings.
Smart discusses Calzetta's early development in a way that probes deeper into the intent and meaning behind what appear to be simple, single-line drawings: "He practised a form of automatism—automatic drawing—that enabled him to put down in as immediate a way as possible his unconscious."
The book is not so much a biography as it is a retrospective on the artist's career, and as such, it traces his love of drawing, which evolves into painting, sculpture, and later, collaborations with other authors on innovative two- and three-dimensional book projects.
In order to appreciate any art—but particularly Calzetta's deceptively simple, often cartoonish-looking works—one needs a good guide. Smart proves adept and eminently capable of communicating why Calzetta made the choices he did, and why they are worthy of praise. Smart does so while mostly avoiding stereotypical art critic hyperbole, and the book is well designed, with plenty of photographs and reproductions of Calzetta's work. It's a simple enough feature, one that would seem a requirement for any art book, but one that often goes underutilized.
The one drawback of Fabulous Peculiarities is, unfortunately, a significant one—with the exception of the cover, there are no color reproductions to be found. While the black and white images are fascinating in their own right, they eliminate a whole dimension of Calzetta's art that is discussed throughout the book. Budget constraints often prohibit color interiors, but in a book focusing on an artist to whom color is a critical component, its absence is keenly felt and makes the book feel slightly less than complete.
Still, the book's true focus is not just the art—it's the story behind the art. Calzetta's influences and motivations are revealed, and even those who've never heard of him, or who wouldn't ordinarily be attracted to his simple but thoughtful work, will find themselves captivated by Smart's look behind the curtain.

Timo Pritzel talks about riding bikes, injuries, getting old and finding Yoga…
From Dirt Issue 114 – August 2011
Words Timo Pritzel. Photos by Viktor Strasse.
I got introduced to Yoga because I was in pain and conventional western medicine could not help me, even Cortisone injections did not do it anymore. School medicine confused and scared the hell out of me, then I got a blood test from two different doctors that diagnosed that I have Scoliosis, a rheumatic disease.
One Doctor was a specialist in the genre and got an autographed poster from me for her son! She also 'needed' (read: wanted) me to be living case study, she wanted me as a project and to scan my back every three months to show it getting worse!>>
