Not only is this limited to the disc version — the download code is still £39.99 — but we've been told by Nintendo UK that this deal is for one day only. Don't forget that this also includes a Club Nintendo offer of a free Wii U game, meaning you'll also be able to pick up one of the 10 games below, too:

- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
- Sonic Lost World
- Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

That's a pretty enticing deal for UK gamers, though as it's physical stock only — and for just one day — you may want to act fast. Will you be going for this offer today?

Following the news from writer Marguerite Bennett that the DC Bombshells would return in a new digital-first series, DC Comics has officially confirmed the series today along with an official release date for the first issue.
The new series will be titled Bombshells United and will see the return of both Marguerite Bennett and Marguerite Sauvage when it launches this August. Sauvage is set to work through the first arc on the latest Bombshells series. According to the press release:
The Nazi-punching fan-favorite heroes of DC Comics: Bombshells are returning for a brand-new digital-first series this August with BOMBSHELLS UNITED. Wonder Woman, Batwoman, Supergirl and more continue to fight the oppressors of World War II as they head to a new location—the United States!
In the press release from DC Comics, Bennett said that Bombshells United will refocus the story in an alternate history and ask the question: if you could live this life over, what would you do differently?
RELATED: With Rebirth, DC Has Proved Its Reboots Foster Innovation
"We journey back to different theaters of the war, and will tell stories of defining moments of the characters there -- both the stories as they unfold within the Bombshells universe, as well as information on how the true events played out," Bennett said.
While the series will be set in an alternate history timeline, Bennett said that she draw inspiration from World War II -- a dark chapter in American history that has been ignored and erased from "our national narrative."
"I read a variety of novels and history texts, took several trips to Manzanar and spoke with volunteers," Bennett said. "Then I deferred to a variety of Asian-American creators and editors in order to make sure that the story I was creating was respectful, and that I was telling an honest and truthful story, that drew heavily from the experiences of those who underwent this atrocity, and survived with power and grace. I want to highlight something that should never be forgotten or removed from our story."
The new series will begin in 1943 with Wonder Woman making her way to Arizona. After Cassie Sandsmark and Donna Troy are forced from their homes under Executive Order 9066, Sandsmark and Troy call for Diana's help. However, in order to save them, she'll need to confront the very armed forces she fought beside on the European front.
RELATED: Dark Knight IV: What Will Frank Miller's Next Batman Series Involve?
The new Bombshells series will also bring with it a new structure; each arc will focus on a particular hero or group of heroes to allow the creative team to dive deeper into each storyline. The cover, by Terry Dodson and Rachel Dodson, to the first issue can be seen below.
The first chapter of Bombshells United will launch Friday, August 25 with new chapters available weekly. Print issues will collect two digital chapters, each beginning September 6, and will ship twice monthly.

bringing 2 U events & happenings in and around Ipoh … & beyond…
After 11 days of competition, the Champions for this year's Sultan Azlan Shah cup were declared. We know that all six of the teams that accepted the invitation to play in Ipoh this year would proceed to the London Olympics next month, but which are the stronger teams?
I have the finals results here in photos, and believe me, it is not easy to get all team members together for group photo shoots!
Here is the points table – each team played six matches each.
1. New Zealand (12)
2. Argentina (12)
3. Great Britain (11)
4. India (9)
5. South Korea (8)
6. Malaysia (5)
7. Pakistan (3)

Don't miss these too!
i think argentina played so well. they showed skills which is totally lost for ages . NZ won but i believe everyone in that stadium knew who were the champions .
Agreed with Argentina playing well but they conceded their opportunities. If they don't score, they don't win.
NZ played well throughout the tournament but the main event is actually the Olympics, not this.
After watch the London Olympics games, why New Zealand is so strong in playing this game?
I get what you mean. I was rather surprised by NZ's performance in the London Olympics too.
Well, Australia did not come to Ipoh this year, and NZ was seeded 3rd.
I guess the luck of the draw played a part also.

This post is pretty exclusively filled with things I found cool or would liked to have stolen from, the Louvre.
Bird w/ personal bodyguard.
Judging you.
Tiny nudists.
Neck buttons lend an air of formality to even the dreariest of Tuesdays.
I'd be sad if I had to wear that hat too.
That lip color is really in right now.
Let's be honest, allegories and metaphors and religious meanings aside, I pretty much gravitate to the weird stuff in museums. Like the skull and other odd bits hanging off the belt of the girl in the middle.
This is just funny. I don't know why, but it gave me the museum giggles.
I get a similar look on my face when I realize at 7:01 PM that I have no dessert in the house and the grocery stores are all closed.
Door bling. Napoleon had such humble taste.
Breakfast Nook.
If pressed, I'd accept this as a gift.
Or this.
This I would outright steal.
Along with these.
We're going to close this post with the single best item in the whole museum. Amongst all the hundreds of thousands of exquisitely crafted works of art spanning thousands of years of human history, this little creature is sitting in a glass case blowing a raspberry at me because I am taking it all waaay too seriously. Just a good thing to know. For perspective.

Copyright Advice
Copyright is something you are probably aware of, something you may have occasionally thought about but do you think about how copyright relates to your work, your
presentations, what you photocopy or put onto Blackboard?
It's best practice to think about copyright at the start of anything you are working on, whether that's your PhD thesis, a new paper you are working on, a document you are uploading into your class module on Blackboard, or even an image you are going to be putting onto your webpage, Twitter feed or presentation.
The Research Support Team within library services is here to help; we can provide expert advice regarding your copyright questions. A few basic tips regarding copyright:
- Search smart: If you want to Google images to find that perfect photo, use the advanced search option to locate images that are under the Creative Commons license
- Look for things with Creative Commons licenses: There are lots of great things out there that people have made publically available for you to modify-including templates, images, etc.
- Link smart: LJMU has access to lots of articles and books electronically. But if you want to link to these correctly, make sure you provide links via Blackboard or direct people to our electronic library. That was people can get to these things easily and
- Ask first: Want to use a graph and modify it in a thesis or a paper? Want to use an image in your own work? Ask. We have templates you can use to contact publishers directly. If you ask that the start, then you'll know whether or not you can use it; if you ask at the end, you might be faced with omitting things from your work as you do not have permission.
- When in doubt, ask: The library is here to help you. If you aren't sure, just ask.
You will find some general help and guidance on our copyright webpages but if you need further help contact the Research Support Team

Helping to Make Your Videos Better . . .
My music has been used in thousands of YouTube, Facebook and Instagram videos with a combined millions of views. With a few exceptions, you can use my music in your videos for free. You can also monetize the videos and keep any ad revenue. Here's how:
1. Download for Free
Choose the song you want from my SoundCloud page. To download the song, click on the "Free Download" button. You will then be redirected to The Artist Union, where all my songs are hosted.
At The Artist Union, you'll notice a "donate" button -- donations are not mandatory or required, but a $5 donation per song is standard for video use and very much appreciated.
You can also support me by buying my music from iTunes or LISTENING TO IT ON SPOTIFY. (Search for "Evan Schaeffer" -- I appreciate the listens, and make a little money from it.)
2. Credit Me in Your Video's Description Box
If you use one of my songs in a YouTube video, you are required to credit me like this in the video description: Music by Evan Schaeffer, https://soundcloud.com/evanschaeffer. Including the name of the song is optional.
You can also use my music in other social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, etc), and podcasts. In these cases, credit me in the video or podcast description as shown in the previous paragraph.
If you want to use my music in other ways and are confused about how to credit me, just send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you can't credit me for some reason, you can also purchase a license to use the music without a credit. Email me for a price list.
Further Questions, Answers, and Details
1. Why Do You Give Away Your Music?
I give away my music because I am getting something too--the promotion that comes when someone sees your video and learns about my music. As stated above, I also appreciate it when people buy my music from iTunes, LISTEN ON SPOTIFY, or give me a donation. Making consistently good music requires a lot of time and expensive gear!
2. Can I Monetize My Video on YouTube?
As noted above, you can monetize videos that include my music and keep the ad revenue for yourself.
3. Are There Exceptions to the Free Use of Your Music?
Only a few--
a. If you're a music supervisor or are inquiring for a corporation or other business entity, please contact me for licensing information at email@example.com. (Note: some of my songs are free, even for film, TV, and advertising.)
b. If your YouTube account has more than 750,000 subscribers, please contact me for licensing information at email@example.com. (Note: many of my songs are free, even for gigantic YouTubers. And for Casey Neistat, ALL of my songs are free--though I'm still waiting for him to take me up on this!)
c. If want to use the music for other unique purposes (wedding videos, in-house corporate videos, etc.), please contact me at email@example.com and I will send you a song list and pricing guide.
4. Are There Other Places to Hear Your Music?
To listen to my music, I suggest the following sites--
a. My SoundCloud page, the only place where I upload ALL my music.
b. Spotify and Google Play and Apple Music
c. My YouTube channel (This is brand new and features playlists that categorize my songs by tempo and mood. I also have a playlist that collects some of the hundreds of great videos people have made using my music. Subscribe to the channel to be notified of new songs and beats.)
d. My Jamendo page
e. My page at Free Music Archive
f. My page at The Artist Union
5. I'm Using Your Music -- How Can I Support You?
First, you can listen my music at Spotify. At Spotify, you can stream my music, follow me (click the "follow" button at the bottom of this page), and add my music to playlists. It all helps!
Second, rather than download my music for free, you can buy it at iTunes, Amazon, or Google Play. (Note: if you use the music in a video, you'll still have to credit me in your video description!)
Third, you can donate to me at The Artist Union (see 4f above).
6. Thank You!
Thanks for your interest in my music. As for you video-creators, keep up the good work! I love to watch your videos and your stuff is awesome!

Fraud cloud over Molefe's reappointment
Cape Town - The ANC Study Group on Public Enterprises says it's not satisfied with the responses of Minister of Public Enterprises Lynne Brown and the Eskom board regarding the reinstatement of Brian Molefe as the power utility's CEO.
The group says Molefe's reinstatement raises questions of "possible fraud" which he may have committed when he was sworn in as a Member of Parliament.
It blames Brown, who is empowered to exercise oversight over the entity, saying both the minister and Eskom "showed no comprehension of the magnitude of the crisis they have plunged Eskom into" during their presentation to the Portfolio Committee earlier on Tuesday.
#Molefe: Eskom and Brown fail to convince Parliament
In a statement, the ANC study group reiterated its call for the decision to reinstate Molefe to be rescinded "with immediate effect".
"The explanations provided around Mr Molefe's state of employment at Eskom, or lack thereof, raises serious questions around possible fraud on his part at the time of being sworn in as a member of Parliament.
"We reiterate the call by our organisation that the decision to reappoint Mr Molefe as CEO of Eskom must be rescinded with immediate effect.
"It is the view of the study group that the current board of Eskom has total disregard for the principles of good governance. The study group takes a dim view on the state of affairs at Eskom and thus calls for an urgent parliamentary inquiry into the Eskom board."
Gordhan launches scathing attack on Eskom
According to an affidavit earlier published on
, Brown said she was not party to the decision to reappoint Molefe as chief executive officer of the power utility.
In court papers filed in the North Gauteng High Court on Monday, the minister said that she was not aware that Molefe had not resigned, but "had in fact applied for early retirement and that Eskom had on November 11, 2016 accepted such an application".
"I was therefore surprised on Sunday April 16, 2017 to read the article entitled Brian Molefe scores a R30m payout from Eskom," said Brown.
To her mind, Molefe's "resignation was just that", and she didn't understand why Molefe had to get the said R30m pension pay-out.

The sunlit halls of Leiden University College the Hague welcomed dozens of delegates from around Europe to the kickoff of MUNOTH 2018.
The day began with warm smiles and welcome-packages of eco-friendly pens, notebooks, and vouchers as delegates socialized in the Anna van Buerenplein building before heading off to our opening ceremony. Delegates had the pleasure of hearing speeches from Secretary General Roos Kolkman as well as keynote speakers Hugo van Meijenfeldt (Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, VU Amsterdam) and Jolanda van der Vliet (Leiden University) on MDGs and environmental refugees, respectively.
Afterwards, delegates were able to socialize at LUC's student bar, Coasters, as well as over dinner in order to better get to know their committee members and chairs.

Political Skirmish Over Redevelopment Agencies in Indiana
Chris Sikich of the Indianapolis Star writes that State Rep. Phil Hinkle, also a Republican, "said he wasn't going to hear the bill in his House Government and Regulatory Reform Committee.":
"Trying to save the legislation Thursday, Kenley ushered it into an unrelated tax bill that's already passed the House. Kenley believes the Senate will pass the amended bill next week."
Opponents of the bill are concerned that it would slow down development agencies too much in their ability to make development deals.

text: Ashleigh Sumner is a self-taught artist living and working out of the Arts District in downtown, Los Angeles. Born in 1979 in North Carolina, Sumner received her Bachelor of Arts from Western Carolina University before moving West to Los Angeles. Much of Sumner's work is heavily inspired by the street art movement of downtown, Los Angeles and other urban areas across the globe. Her current process involves implementing found street flyers and images captured on her iphone. These images are printed, torn, and stacked repeatedly to create multiple, distressed layers of paper that are applied to wood panels. Sumner's natural love of literature is often implemented in her art by using selected pages from books, plays, poems, or newspapers that often express a political/social point of view. Acrylic paint, oil pastel, and spray paint are often introduced in the process by way stenciled images, and the scribbling of graffitied song lyrics, poems, symbols, quotes, or a single word. In Sumner's most recent work, the use of text is repeated over and over again (many times intelligibly) as a rambling stream of emotional conciseness, Sumner adds several coats of resin to each piece to add a smooth finish over the layers of gritty, distressed work underneath. Ashleigh has exhibited extensively through out California and most recently Europe.

Beck's New Life
Published: 2004-04-15
Email this article
Print this article
Some big changes have made themselves at home in Beck's life. First off the musician found himself a newly married man. He and girlfriend Marissa Ribisi, twin of actor Giovanni Ribisi, were recently hitched in Santa Monica, California. Not only is Beck now bound by marital vows to his love, but the couple is expecting their first child this spring. Ribisi was eight months pregnant when she and her rocker boyfriend were married. May many years of happiness find the Hansen family.
Many of Beck's family members have been involved in the arts, from working with Andy Warhol to spearheading an art movement. One can only hope that Beck's child will carry on the great tradition.
In some music related news, Beck is out and about recording the follow up to his last album 'Sea Change'. He announced that he will once again be working with The Dust Brothers, who also collaborated on what some call his best album 'Odelay' which was released in 1996. It can only be expected that the new record will be a step forward and away from any of Beck's previous work.
Always the adventurous and inventive musician, Beck has constantly changed the flavour of his music from one genre to another. From hip-hop to country, garage rock to folk, Beck is one musician who has done it all. Beck found the musical spotlight with his first single 'Loser', a self-deprecating rap by a skinny white guy. His fame only grew from there, and now Beck is one of the most revered musicians not only of his generation, but of all time. He has released an impressive catalogue over the past 10 years and it continues to grow, ever experimental and always brilliant.
Beck contributed a song to the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' soundtrack. The track is titled 'Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime' and is available on Hollywood Records. The soundtrack also features songs by Electric Light Orchestra and the Polyphonic Spree.

Reports say that the tabloids have been staking out Aaron?s apartment in his hometown, and that he been secretly seeing someone. Her name is Julie Ross, she?s a 23-year-old kindergarten teacher, and they?ve know each other for about a year. The tabloids say she arrived at his apartment last Thursday at 11:30pm and snuck out the next morning at 6:20am. I also hear that Aaron had been trying to get with her since they met, but she was in a relationship, and always turned him down. Then a month ago, they ran into each other at a local bar. Of course, by then, Aaron became this big star, and she dumped her boyfriend of 4 years and went home with Aaron. They?ve been seeing each other a few nights a week since then, and Aaron?s not denying it. When they reached him for a comment, Aaron simply said that ?Yes it?s true, Julie stayed at my apartment last night."

Amidst CIA Takedown, Anonymous Also Targets Alabama, Mexico
In the wake of the CIA website going offline last night, hacker group Anonymous also went after government organizations in Alabama and Mexico.
The group published several hundred records in protest of a 2011 Alabama immigration law, took down government-related Mexican websites in opposition to a pending anti-piracy law, and published emails related to Mexico's mining industry.
In Alabama, Anonymous posted the redacted records of 500 Alabama residents, though it claimed to have accessed data on 46,000 citizens. Information included full names, Social Security numbers, license plate numbers, dates of birth, phone numbers, addresses, and criminal records.
In a note posted to Pastebay, Anonymous said it deleted the data not published "to make it known that you not only have shown zero regard for immigrants, but for the very citizens that live in the great state of Alabama."
"This release is only meant to show the Citizens of the state of Alabama the amount of incompetence that is taking place within the state government in Alabama," Anonymous continued. "We mean no harm by releasing this redacted information. This data was not securely segregated from the Internet, nor was it properly encrypted. This is what happens when not enough resources are spent on proper design and the training that comes with it."
As noted by NPR, the Alabama immigration bill is among the toughest in the nation and prompted considerable controversy in the state. The Alabama legislature, which reconvened on Tuesday, might consider tweaks to the bill during this session.
Mexico's Version of SOPA
In Mexico, meanwhile, Anonymous targeted government websites over a pending anti-piracy bill that has been referred to as the Mexican version of the U.S. Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).
As noted by RT.com, the Mexican Senate and Interior Ministry websites were temporarily taken offline in protest of a bill that would impose fines up to $100,000 for copyright infringement.
The bill's sponsor, Sen. Frederico Doring, tweeted recently that he respects Anonymous' right to free speech, but does not respect their methods.
Meanwhile, hackers also targeted the country's mining industry and released 730MB of email from the Mexican National Chamber of Mines. In a note posted to Pastebin, the hackers said they objected to the "extreme" conditions under which workers are forced to work while the industry takes in millions.
CIA Website Returns
News of these most recent hacks came after the CIA.gov website went offline last nite, with the @YourAnonNews feed tweeting about the attack with the usual "tango down" message.
The account later wrote that "We'd remind media that if we report a hack or ddos attack, it doesn't necessarily mean we did it...FYI." But the group also did not deny its involvement, and continued to tweet links to news stories that tied Anonymous to the CIA website takedown.
As of Saturday morning, the CIA website was back online.

Yarmouth, Ma. Jr. Police Officer Leah Archambault has undergone her 10th spinal surgery for a congenital malformation involving a split in the spinal cord known as diastematomyelia.
Leah normally did not receive any cards in Boston Childrens hospital where she had been receiving her corrective surgeries and the Yarmouth Police Department posted requests that their followers send some to brighten her day and send well wishes to her as encouragement.
Jr. Officer Leah, received so many cards that she was not able to respond individually and has not even had the opportunity to read them all yet as of this time!
That is not to say that the well wishes went unnoticed or were unappreciated by the young lady who has such a strong spirit and is such a fighter. She joyfully thanked everyone in a heartfelt YouTube video for their well wishes in the same Police Uniform that she was issued by Yarmouth Police Department, which by the way she also wears into her operations to give her strength!
Of course when she leaves the hospital she receives a Police escort by the Yarmouth Police Department as is expected from an injured hero returning home!
The WideBlueLine salutes Jr. Officer Leah Archambault and wishes her a speedy recovery and a very happy long life.

Website Editing Services
As the old saying goes: "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
That statement is especially true when referring to a business website. Customers worldwide are looking for products and services online, and there is no shortage of sites from which to choose. Broken links, spelling and grammatical errors, html errors, annoying flashing graphics or pop-ups can actually drive visitors away as quickly as they came.
Does your web content, layout and page links come across as professional and say the things you want about your business? Do too many bells and whistles essentially dilute your main message? Business owners and entrepreneurs should perform periodic website maintenance to their sites to ensure that they continue to be professional and work hand-in-hand with furthering their businesses.
Our experienced website editors and writers at IMHY SOFT know how each and every word or link impacts your site.
When evaluating your site, here are the five most important things to check and what our experts keep in mind about when edit your website:
- Design Quality
- Page Consistency
- Ease of Navigation
- Site Activity
- Credibility
Design Quality
Because design quality can be subjective, a good recommendation is to cater your site design to your industry and customer tastes. For example, if you are selling scrap-book supplies, then a "homemade" feel for your website might be appropriate. Alternatively, if you are a dentist, something with a light, clean, simple layout will better instill confidence for inquiring patients.
Maintain your branding by using your logo, picking colors that match your other materials and including pictures that support the imagery you want associated with your business. Regardless of the style of your site, the best indicator of design quality is page consistency.
Page Consistency
The web can be a frightening place. When you click on a link in a webpage, it can take you almost anywhere. When your customers click on links within your site, add to their comfort level by making it clear that they are still in your site. The number one way to do this is to have a consistent page template by using the same colors, style and placement of page elements on each page.
Color is important – we make associations based upon color all the time. Keep it consistent or have a good reason why you are changing them from page to page. A rainbow of color can be overwhelming.
Stick to one style – organic or linear. Organic elements use soft curves that flow together. Linear elements are straight with sharp angles. Either might be appropriate for your business, but pick one and stick to it.
Keep one page template – site visitors expect the structural elements to stay in place. When someone visits your site, they become oriented to the site structure and expect the elements (navigation, logo, page headers, etc.) in the same place on every page.
Site Navigation
Site navigation is the primary element in a professional website. If your customers cannot easily find what they are looking for, they will look elsewhere and that usually means your competition.
Ensure you have a distinct navigation bar positioned either along the left hand side of the page, along the top or a combination of both. Try to organize your content in as few categories as possible and use a table of contents page when the visitor clicks each category with a brief description of the category and links to subcategories with more information. To make it easier to maintain your site, it's best to be able to add new subcategories as page content in the page without having to rework your site navigation bar each time.
Site Activity
A stale website makes the rest of your business look stale. This does not mean you have to change the design of your website every month or even every year, but it does mean that you should keep an eye on the content. Does your website list an "upcoming event" from 2004? Is an old promotion still on the site?
If you can change the sign on your store or the message on your voice mail, you should also have an easy way to change the content on your website. Do some research and find the best website editing software or service for you. You should also have a professional developer resource available for questions and more complicated changes that you cannot do yourself. Some editing services include both do-it-yourself editing and expert developers when you need them.
There are many factors that can contribute to or take away from your trustworthiness online. Displaying outdated information is one thing, but others are just as glaring, if not more so. Broken images, bad links, misleading site navigation are all examples of things that lower credibility. Visit your site frequently to ensure your pages are displaying properly, links are updated as things change and content is current.
Make it clear that you are a real business and people can trust and contact you. Show that on each and every page. Place some testimonials and prominently display your contact information. List your email address and always include a phone number.
Take a Look at Your Site Again
Chances are you are already doing some of the above correctly. If you can look at your site and say you are doing everything right, congratulations! If not, take notes about what you would like to do better and consult a professional web developer or website maintenance company about implementing these principles. The changes will not cost a fortune, but the results may produce one.
We at IMHY SOFT assure our client for providng the best in all the above aspects using most modern tools and techinques for all of these. When you choose us, you will be definitly appreciate our services and will thank us for the years.

Part of the 'Cross' range of living room furniture. Perfectly proportioned to hold and display fire wood.
100yr old French Rail Wagon oak transformed
Part of our 'Cross' range of living room furniture. This log holder is made from 6mm thick laser cut aluminium and reclaimed French oak. Perfectly proportioned to hold and display fire wood.
The Oak used in this log holder originally served as flooring and walls of French Railway Wagons hauling goods for the SNCF (Société nationale des chemins de fer français). These wagons are up to 100 years old and are nearly all now decommissioned and replaced with less romantic steel versions. When we first get our hands on the Oak boards they are coated with decades of soot from the old steam trains that hauled them. Hiding under that soot lays an incredible timber full of characterful burls, knots and cracks. Time has allowed the soot to seep into the cracks and holes beautifully highlighting them in jet black.
The oak is finished in our own recipe 100% natural and organic beeswax polish. The aluminium legs are powder coated in a rich gloss charcoal grey.
Inspired by reclaimed timber and minimalist design. I build contemporary furniture from reclaimed timbers from my workshop in Cardigan, West Wales

by Aggrey Sam
They said I was the next big thing out of France, taking this Tony/Ronny/Boris/Pietrus thing to the next level. A lottery lock in '08, the scouts said. A lot of good Americans coming out that year, Michel Beasley, Monsieur Mayonnaise, Monsieur Rose, the one they call Amour. But I held my own against them in an All-Star game. Basketball is basketball, no matter quelle langue you speak.
Still, I was only 18. I played another season in France and thought I did better. My numbers said so, the critics didn't. They said I was passive. Inconsistent. Not strong enough. In reality, I had a target on my back. The older players didn't want me to live up to the hype against them. I had injuries. I'd say my season was…comme ci, comme ca.
Anyway, I figured I'd test my stock in the Draft. Then, it seemed like NBA teams didn't really want me. I didn't want to be a second-round pick. I would rather stay in Europe. There were rumors I had a heart defect. A lot of teams backed off, but Tony's team wanted me. Turned out that Portland drafted me before they could.
I didn't know a whole lot about Portland, but the team had some good things going for it. They had the No. 1 pick in '07 and he got hurt for the whole season. He probably felt a lot of pressure. I could relate. They had the Rookie of the Year the season before that. He was an All-Star last year. Must be a pretty good player. Rudy and Sergio from Spain play for them. I've seen those guys play since we were young. At least they have a couple other guys from Europe.
I hear they might keep me in France for a few more seasons. The team has too many good players and I won't play. I'll show them I'm good enough in training camp. The coach likes defense. That's what he did best when he played. I'll find my spot.
These guys are all young, like me. A lot of guys play my position, but I'm getting some playing time in the preseason, even started. I really can play at this level! Who knows, maybe I'll start in the regular season, too? At least I know they won't send me back to France. We don't travel on these nice planes and stay in these nice hotels (with no roommate) in Europe. If my friends in Paris could see me now.
Actually, they might! We played the Lakers on TV on opening night. But Coach didn't start me at the beginning. He tells the local media it was a last-minute decision, but I'm a little disappointed. It is the Lakers and Kobe, on national TV. But after Greg gets hurt, I can't feel bad for myself. Poor guy.
Coach starts me against Houston! I'm guarding Tracy McGrady. It's a dream and a nightmare, all at once. But like always, I hold my own. I'm starting to get comfortable. After playing the superstars I used to dream about playing night after night, I just have to play my game. Now we're in New Orleans (it's nothing like the city named Orleans I know), playing against the Hornets and Chris Paul. I do an okay job against Peja (although he used some veteran moves against me a few times) and even though I struggled on offense, I hit a three and I was active. We ended up losing a close game at the end, but I'm happy Greg played well.
Rudy and I talk about the game. Chris Paul is even better than I thought. Rudy said he could tell after the Olympics. Damn my underachieving national team. Wait until 2012. Now a reporter wants to talk to me? I didn't even play well. My publicist must be good at his job. I'll talk to him after I get dressed. Okay, here we go.
"It's nice," I tell him when he asks me about starting as a rookie (what does he expect me to say?) "Last year, I come from France, now I'm in starting lineup in NBA."
"Coach Nate, it's a great team," I respond to a question about how I've been able to adjust. "Coach comes talk to me every time. He just tells me play your game." And when in doubt, pass to LaMarcus or Brandon, I want to add.
"More everything," I say when he asks about the difference in play. That's the best way I can put it. Now he wants to know about Coach Nate's deathwish for me by matching me up against the best small forwards in the League?
"Last year I was watching them on the TV, you know," I say. "For my first start, I had to play against McGrady, then guys like Kobe, LeBron, Carmelo."
"Amazing," I tell him, when he asks about the travel and my new lifestyle in general. That's true, but I'm thinking about the entire experience, the future of this team, my potential role on a championship-winning team down the line. Maybe I'd better say it in my native tongue.
Tres magnifique.

Betrayal, a kiss carrying no meaning, a hug not as trustworthy as the previous. Words no longer distinguishing value as promises drown in expectations of disappointment. Betrayal compared to ice, cold as the premeditation of gentle water forming a cube of ice, hardened in damaging what it touches. The closeness of bondage tampered with elements of suspensional beliefs, triggering curiosity as it paralyzes any hope of good resurrected. People are capable of change….. betrayal is never forgotten like a dream that's easy to interpret.

{Get Stranded In Napa: The Stranded Society Clothing + Wine Tasting Guide}
This week's post is your guide to getting stranded for a weekend in Napa! A year ago I took a leap of faith and started chronicling my outfits, where I liked to taste wine, where I liked to eat and if I were you, where I would stay when visiting this gorgeous little place I call HOME! The Napa Valley can be an intimidating place as a first timer, just like the world of blogging! A lot of folks never make it to Napa out of fear and intimidation of not knowing what to do, where to go and who to trust for advice! Trips are a special thing and if you are anything like me, a planner, then you want to make sure its going to be perfect! When it comes to blogging, of course I wanted to make everything perfect right out of the gate, but I had no idea what I was doing and honestly, I still don't! But I am learning, tweaking and listening and that's whats most important!
So when I was approached by a small student ran company out of the upper northwest, it spoke to my inner soul ! They took a leap of faith, out of a school project they created this adorable line of mens and women's t-shirts, sweaters, cell phone cases, tanks, called The Stranded Society ! If you are planning a trip to Napa, their whole motto. "The best adventures in life usually come when you get STRANDED," totally applies to any trip in Napa...ask the veterans who make a trek here multiple times a year, its all about the off the beaten path hidden gem wineries, that you literally stumble upon.....and sometimes if your relying on Uber to get you around you literally will get stranded LOL....I digress.....I also suggest hiring a driver! ha!
When it comes to fashion, as you know I prefer things of a comfy nature, girly and sometimes with a little flair (almost all the time with flair - who am I kidding?)! You can find me living in this sweater in bright white and adorned with flower power, it's cute enough to dress down or up. I styled with a pair of jeans over the knee boots and my new QUAY rose gold shades (Thanks Wunder Boutique!)... I absolutely LOOOOOOOOVE my sweater and my other favorite piece, their paisley cell phone cover - so adorable. They have multiple styles and I am probably going to re-order the smoking pineapple one here pretty soon! Use code VINELIVING...... and receive a 15% discount on your own case and or sweater, tank, tee.....their stuff is the perfect mens gift, we all know men love a t-shirt or sweatshirt - especially if the intention is to wear it somewhere special so the two of you can get STRANDED! Check their site HERE!! Don't forget to use code VINELIVING for 15% off any order......
Now for the Napa Guide Part!! I wanted to dispel the rumors about certain places most tourists are recommended to visit and let you know MY opinion, if they really are a trap or if it's worth the wait. Sometimes there are alternatives that are so much better, but sometimes you just have to wait! Kind of like a good handbag right? Go cheap for the look, or wait and save for the real thing? The question is, is it worth the wait?!
1. Oakville Grocery: Located in Oakville (DUH), one of the original grocery stores in the Napa Valley. Their parking lot is always full, its one of the only stops for lunch between Yountville and St. Helena (where you can grab a quick lunch). I would say YES, definitely include it on your list, you can grab amazing food, gifts to take home, they have picnic area AND if your wanting to taste wine - Durant and Booth is right next door (owned by the same group)....
Include : YES
Alternatives: Sunshine Market (St. Helena), Yountville Deli (Yountville), Palisades (Calistoga) and Genova Deli (Napa)...or for BBQ in Carneros The Shed!
2. Castello di Amorosa "The Castle": This is literally a castle that was built out of original stone from a castle in Italy. It is definitely a place to see, but I will warn, if you are a VERY serious collector, I would spring for their VIP Cheese and Wine experience, that way you can bypass the tourists just there because they are too cheap to take their kids to Disneyland!
Include: Skip It - unless you REALLY want to deal with the masses of NV travelers.
Alternatives: Sterling Vineyards (they have a tram that takes you up to their tasting room from the parking lot - at least its a ride vs. just walking around the castle), Robert Mondavi (actual historic tour of the NV wine industry and where we have been, where we are now), and another great alternative Hess Collection (amazing art gallery that you can view and gorgeous wines).
3. Rutherford Grill: this restaurant has been around for ages, popular for their "French Dip" sandwich, Spinach Dip Appetizer, Corn Bread and many many more items. They recently opened a sister restaurant in Yountville called R+D Kitchen (totally different menu, but always consistent and delicious) and the wait there is a little less. It is totally worth the wait, every time! Always delicious, great service and they don't charge a corkage fee, so bring any bottle/s you want !!
Include: YES YES YES
Alternatives: R+D Kitchen, Mustards Grill, Bistro Don Giovannis....
4. Domaine Chandon: when it comes to Sparkling wine, we have a few big hitters in the valley; Shramsberg, Mumm, Domaine Carneros and Domaine Chandon, they are all delicious in their own right and make some beautiful wines. I would like to think that Domaine Chandon is probably the most well known out of the group, they are nationally and internationally distributed and owned by Louis Vuitton (partly why I am using them as an example), they also have a stellar property that is open to the public and very inviting! They offer light bites and a myriad of wines - still and sparkling - but mostly sparkling! While they are very busy on weekends, I recently had a lovely time sitting on their chairs overlooking the valley, sipping some bubbles and eating truffle popcorn!
Include: Yes
Alternatives: Domaine Carneros, Schramsberg, Mumm...
Outfit Details HERE: Joes Jeans similar, Sweatshirt (stranded society), Cell phone case (stranded society), OTK Boots HERE (MAJOR SALES!!) and Henri Bendel Bag HERE (PS - SOME STYLES ON MAJOR SALE!!)!
I hope you enjoy my suggestions and please know, these are not sponsored thoughts, just my own!
Thank you Miss Krantz Photography for your awesome shots!

There is no such thing as "good luck" or "bad luck". Your every thought, feeling, word, or action is forever creating your life. You are the creator of your life. It is normal and sensible for a person to have a reason for their thinking and doing, but it does not always work out this way. I'm quite sure that some people do what they do without any coherent thought, without motive or direction, or any clue about the repercussions of their actions.
In Cleveland, USA, I was strolling from some local shops and had reached the pedestrian crossing. This very wide road was controlled by the usual pedestrian lights, which were red. Another man reached them just ahead of me, briefly pausing as he scowled at the WAIT sign. I could feel his emotions as energy – a swirling mass of anger and inner turmoil. As I expected, he immediately began to cross the road, dodging among the cars as he scurried to the far side. He was making good progress, when he had to jump aside as a car blasted its horn at him. He reached the far curb just as the lights changed, and so I also crossed the wide and busy road. The man was now walking along with one stiff finger held in the "up yours" obscene and universal salute of anger and defiance. This, despite the fact that it was he who had been in error. Walking across the road while the light is red is no big deal, but I wonder how often a child is impressed with the idea that the traffic lights are of no consequence, that traffic rules are meant to be broken. What I am saying is that our every action sends out ripples of energy; energy that will affect many people before it returns back to its original source. In other words, what goes around comes around.
Most people imagine that energy which goes out would come back in its original form, but this is not so. The energy that radiates out comes back multiplied by the energy of all the people who have been in any way affected. Imagine disregarding the pedestrian traffic lights in our usual unthinking way, and a child is watching. A day later the child, like you, ignores the lights, and is badly injured by a car. Your energy is directly linked to the child and their preventable so-called accident. What goes around comes around!
Neither does it end here. The child has a family, and they are all emotionally affected. A parent reprimands the child asking "Why did you cross when the lights are red? You know we have taught you not to do that." And the child replies, "But I watched a person cross yesterday when the light was red, and they didn't get hurt." The parent then focuses the energy of anger and resentment on you, and despite the fact they have no idea who you are, and are never likely to, their anger energy is instantly connected to your own field of energy because of your involvement. This is unpreventable.
Many unfortunate people experience similar incidents several times in a week, adding up month by month until, in perfect timing, the repercussions return in a stream of so-called "bad luck" to their original source and creator. Unfortunately, this unseen, unrealised, flow of negative energy affects the lives of most people on this planet. For many, it is the very fabric of their life. Of course, if most of your actions are positive and uplifting, affecting people in ways that are mostly to their benefit, then what 'comes around' is usually termed "good luck".
Let's look at life through terms of human energy. Without our being aware of it, we are each continually generating and expressing a huge field of physical, mental, and emotional energy. This energy is either under our loving guidance – which is rare – or it is strongly reactive to whatever situation it encounters. Okay, this gets subtle. Reactive human energy is continually attracting and reacting to potentially negative, angry, and reactive encounters in life. In other words, this the perfect victim scenario. It continues unabated until the person either takes some measure of control over their energy/behaviour, or, as commonly happens, gets seriously ill. This continual discord is the birth place of our more common diseases. However unlikely it may seem, your human energy field is so very powerful that, for good or bad, it can affect a person on the other side of the world if their own field of energy is closely in sync with your own. When it comes to human energy it can be truly said that there is nothing outside of Self.
Not only is our field of energy a super-powerful attractant, it is also creative in a way that might involve no other people. Okay . . . so let's go back to the man with the upraised stiff finger. What is this creating for him?
First and foremost his 'up yours' gesture is attracting everything into his life that can, and will, express his gesture. He is the one who will get 'shafted' by life, and all unrealised, he will probably do the 'shafting.' The violence of that shafting will be in direct proportion to the violence and anger of his energy field when he made the sad 'I am a victim' salute. Of course, he is not aware of this. If he was told, do you think for one minute that he would be open and receptive? As I said, the anger in him was so strong that I could easily feel it while ten meters away. Just imagine how powerfully he is broadcasting his anger/victim energy into life. What goes around comes around is only half of the story. The increase in negative energy can grow to be so big that only death can really serve the impact that is created, and even then . . . the story continues!
What I am attempting to show you is that there is are principles in life that seem to be totally unrealised by most of humanity: There is nothing outside of Self. What this means is simple; your relationship with self is your relationship with life. If you have angry and violent patterns of thought, this is your life. Your life will be one where anything that can go wrong will go wrong at the worst possible moment. Murphy's Law! Even if you have feelings of anger and resentment to the President of another country – and they make it so easy! – it is your life that is affected. The energy that you generate toward another human Being is the field of energy which magnetises and attracts reciprocal energy into your own life. No matter how valid, the thoughts and emotions that you generate about another person become the creative element in your own life. It is your life that is affected. All that you negatively inflict on another person is coming back to you – with the huge negative energy increase that I have already detailed.
All over the western world suicide is escalating rapidly. Stress and depression have become the number one problems in people, along with all the disease and sickness that accompanies this. We are a race of sick, stressed, basically unhappy people, mostly looking outside of ourselves to blame someone else. And all never knowing that we are creating our own despair, our own sickness, our own problems – or that it can so easily be reversed. I know this, because I was once a stressed, sick, unhappy man, and I blamed the system for my misfortune. To get out of my own mess, I had to accept that I had made it, and that if I had made it so negative, maybe, just maybe, I could completely reverse it. Believe me, I've been there! It's an odd fact that while suicide is escalating, it is only in the Western world, where basically most people have never had it so good. Or, at the very least, have never had a greater opportunity to prosper. In the Third World countries, with their daily struggle to survival, there is no increase in suicide, and they have probably never had it so bad, especially in contrast to the affluence and overindulgence of the West.
Consider, if you will, that you are a Being of energy. What you focus on is what you attract. Accept that nothing is outside of your field of energy, and that it is your focus, your thoughts, your feelings, that are the energy of attraction. Without wishing to belabour the obvious, you can so easily change your life by choosing the direction and even the content of your thoughts. Choose to focus on the good in yourself and life. Quit criticising yourself or life. Self-criticism attracts more of what you criticise into your life, simply because this is your focus. You attract more of what you don't want. Chose to focus on what you like about yourself, instead of what you don't like. Choose to focus on all that is bright and positive in your life. Quit watching negative morning news on television, or reading of human misery stories in the daily stress paper! All that negative focus enters your life. Life is also full of the beautiful, the uplifting, the positive . . . this needs to be your focus.
Always remember, you are the creator of your life.

'She definitely does not masturbate'; Kerala poet challenges sexism
