It has taken a while to get the book over there, but Dragon Shaman book two is finally available on Amazon. The paperback version is even cheaper on there, considerably.
It is also available on Smashwords, and still available through Lulu. Due to Lulu's higher costs, books through that print facility will still retain their higher price, so I suggest purchasing your copy on Amazon (either paperback or Kindle) or Smashwords (several ebook formats).
The second edition of Dragon Shaman: Book One Taming the Blowing Wind is also currently available at Smashwords. Right now that has a version of the original cover. When Victoria Davis is finished with the recover, I will upload the new cover, and those that purchase it now on Smashwords will then be able to have both the new and old covers.

In the historic centre of Copenhagen many of the buildings are painted in strong traditional colours. Timber framing, plaster render and stucco, brickwork and woodwork can all be painted. It is the variations of colour, within a relatively restricted range, that helps to create the strong sense of place.
Colours that were fashionable changed as architectural styles evolved. Højbro Plads illustrates some of those different styles, colours and materials. There is a substantial house that copies polychrome brick facades of the 17th century, houses in more restrained colours imitating stone, typical for buildings from the 18th and 19th century, and above is the natural unpainted brickwork of the church of Sankt Nikolaj. This photograph also shows the colour and texture of the most common traditional roofing materials for historic buildings in the city - clay pan tiles, grey slate and, for church spires and more important public buildings, copper. The spire of Sankt Nikolaj dates from 1909 and replaces a spire that was destroyed in the great fire of 1795.
Timber-framed houses on Grønnegade are painted the dark red that was common through the 17th century. These buildings were just outside the part of the old city that was damaged in the fire of 1728
Here the timber framing was also painted red. The paints made from mineral pigments were oil based using linseed which gives a durable but matt finish. The house is on the corner of Gammel Mønt and Møntergade and was on the edge of the large area of the city lost in the fire of 1728.
Buildings across the south side of a square at Gräbrødretorv in an area of the city that had to be rebuilt after the fire of 1728. The traditional red colour has been used along with white window frames. It is important that the colours vary slightly in tone or hue for each individual property - but this is in part inevitable as colours change or fade over a number of years. A consistent colour across the whole group would be monotonous. Texture of the surface is also important effecting the way light is reflected - plaster is rough and brickwork under the paint often of poor quality. Restoration or modern work that is too smooth and consistent can look lifeless in comparison.
A large 18th-century house showing that the use of strong colours continued. It is flanked by houses that were rebuilt or remodelled in the following century.
Along with the deep reds, a strong dark ochre was also used. This is Magstræde looking east. The houses towards the junction are left as natural brick, much more common in this area that was extensively rebuilt after the fire of 1728.
Nybrogade, Copenhagen. The brick house on the left is typical of buildings constructed after the fire of 1728. The mansion in the centre was built in 1732 forJ Ziegler who was the Court Confectioner and the adjoining buildings to the right, one dated 1748, are typical of the grey and cream stone colours that were common in Copenhagen through the second half of the 18th and in the early 19th century.
Canal-side warehouses are usually robust and straightforward in their architecture but these examples show how important colour is ... particularly the strong colour but matt finish of the shutters.
Where high-quality building materials were used they were usually left unpainted. The window flanked by stone pilasters is on the facade towards Bredgade of Moltkes Palæ (mansion) completed in 1702 and the smaller, less ostentatious brick house on Nikolaj Plads appears to date from roughly the same period.
By the second half of the 18th century larger houses were given ornate plaster decoration including as here pilasters and cornices. In many, pilasters were painted darker buff colours to imitate sandstone. This house is on the Christianshavn side of the harbour on Overgaden Oven Vandet outside the area damaged by fire in 1795.
Houses immediately south of Vor Fruhe Kirke, that were almost-certainly built after the fire of 1795. Pale colours - white, cream and grey - came to predominate in the first half of the 19th century.
Apartments just beyond Østerport railway station. This area was just outside the city defences and building here were only allowed after the walls and gates of Copenhagen were demolished in the 1860s. Fine plasterwork or stucco and the pale cream colour imitates ashlar. White or grey paint remained fashionable but by the late 19th century new apartments, for instance around Nørreport, were built in better quality red brick that was left unpainted.

Learning Spaces
Valentine Elementary School has opened a new STEM lab designed to facilitate active learning and collaboration in an effort to inspire interest in science, technology, engineering and math topics.
Part of a district-wide initiative to build STEM classrooms at each elementary school the new space is in a former computer lab and home to a full-time STEM instructor, Crystal Shin.
The space features tables that can be easily moved and raised or lowered, an interactive whiteboard, two 70-inch televisions, a projector and a full-wall magnetic dry erase board. The classroom's chairs come in three varieties that can be used in multiple positions.
"They were chosen last year by our student council," said Colleen Shields, principal at Valentine, in a local news report about the STEM class. "They offer better ergonomic support and allow for more movement by the student. Our goal was to make it a more flexible learning space. Research on kids says that like to move around and they like to stand up. The tables have wheels and they can be moved together for group learning. We did a lot of research on STEM learning spaces."
Students have access to the classroom, paid for by the PTA with labor provided by the district, for two hours a week over six-week rotations.
"This is really a structured playground," said Shin in a newspaper report. "This is the new type of California science. The goal is to embed the STEM components and have the students interact while learning science content. It's using what you learn instead of memorizing facts and regurgitating them back onto a test. The students are building and putting what they learn into practice. I feel that if I have to tell someone who is not in education what is happening, it's that the students are learning, but the focus is now on the doing and the explaining. I feel that in elementary school, that is what kids need to do. At this age, a child's attention span is maybe 10 minutes at best. Reading for an hour is not going to help. It's important to show them that science is fun."

Early on Sunday morning, clocks across the UK will be rolled back an hour, marking the end of the summer's Daylight Saving Time (DST). You can check your local clock change time and date here.
So should we be despairing at the darker winter mornings, or revelling in the extra hour in bed?
Why do we change the clocks?
The idea was first proposed in Britain in 1907 by a keen horse-rider, William Willett, who was incensed at the waste of useful daylight on summer mornings. The government finally introduced a Daylight Saving Time scheme in 1916, a few weeks after Germany. It was felt that any system that could save fuel and money during the First World War was worth a try.
What does it mean for our sleep?
The clock change means an abrupt shift in the external cues which help our internal body clock to maintain a 24-hour circadian rhythm track. These external time cues are called 'zeitgebers', and include light, temperature, exercise and food/drink intake.
It can take several days for our internal biological clock to re-synchronise with a new schedule, whether it's a clock change or a timezone difference. For some people, this desynchrony leads to disrupted sleep, and feeling tired during the day.
A misalignment between external cues and our internal body clock can also have more serious consequences. For example, there is a spike in the risk of heart attacks spikes on Monday mornings. This is thought to be due to a combination of the stress of a new working week and sudden changes in our sleep-wake cycle. By studying the rates of heart attacks over four years, US researchers showed a 25% increase on the Monday following the shift to DST in Spring when clocks were rolled forwards, reducing our sleep. Conversely – and positively for next week – there was a 21% decrease in heart attacks when the clocks were rolled back in the Autumn.
How can we re-establish our sleep-wake cycles following the clock change?
- Get up at the same time in the morning each day – which means enjoying an extra hour in bed this weekend. It may still take take a few days to adjust to the new schedule, but routine is key for creating a consistent drive to sleep each evening.
- In the winter, with fewer hours of daylight overall, it's important to seek out exposure to morning light where you can. Light is a strong cue to alert the internal clock, and daylight ensures it remains synchronised to the 24-hour day. Lack of light exposure during the day can result in a drift of the internal body clock, making it harder to get up in the morning in the winter.
- Avoid bright lights for at least an hour before bed. Bright light inhibits the production of melatonin (a hormone involved in the timing and regulation of sleep) which can leave us feeling more alert. Minimise your use of electronic gadgets for at least an hour before you go to bed to give yourself time to wind down.

Modibo Maiga's double helped West Ham to a 3-0 win over Bundesliga new-boys Eintracht Braunschweig on Saturday.
All of the game's goals came in the opening 45 minutes at the Eintracht-Stadion, with Maiga's first occurring in unusual circumstances as an attempted clearance rebounded off the striker and looped in.
He then set up Mohamed Diame for the second, before capitalising on some poor defending to wrap the game up a minute shy of the half-time whistle.
Sam Allardyce named a strong side with Mark Noble and Joe Cole both featuring, while the home side introduced ex-Norwich City striker Simeon Jackson as a second-half substitute.
The opening 20 minutes were dominated by West Ham, who were comfortable in possession, and they were duly awarded for their play in the 22nd minute – albeit in bizarre fashion.
Defender Ermin Bicakcic's attempted clearance from the left-hand side struck Maiga from 30 yards, the ball spun high into the air and deceived goalkeeper Daniel Davari who was left stranded.
There was no let-up from the Premier League side whose advantage was doubled three minutes before half-time.
Maiga showed good pace down the right-hand side, before laying the ball into the path of Diame who worked hard to keep up with play. He held off his marker before backheeling an effort under the goalkeeper.
Two minutes later the game was put beyond doubt when Maiga pounced on a loose back-pass to round Davari and make it 3-0.
West Ham continued to dominate possession in the second half but struggled to create clear-cut chances. A raft of changes in the 60th minute also played a part in slowing down the tempo of the game.
Jackson almost pulled one back for Braunschweig late on, but he failed to connect with his 25-yard effort which sailed harmlessly to goalkeeper Adrian.
The win completes West Ham's three-game tour of Germany. A 4-1 loss to Mainz last Saturday was followed by a 3-1 success over Hamburg on Tuesday.
They begin their league campaign with a home fixture against newly promoted Cardiff City on August 17.

It was over 15 years ago that Mundo Unico first emerged in Medellín, Colombia. Founded by Nicolas Echeverri, the brand has since grown to cross Colombian borders and become a presence in international markets, thanks to outlets in Miami and Mexico City. Mundo Unico's products are also commercialized in 25 other countries including Germany, Russia, Spain, Canada, England, and Peru. Only a brand that holds quality over quantity could tackle the world with their underwear designs like that. And thanks to superior fabrics and a very personnel-oriented manufacturing process, Mundo Unico has made that climb. In fact, Mundo Unico is still climbing.
Inspired by the four seasons, Unico draws inspiration from diversity and molds it with each designer's individual creativity and imagination. It is this ingenuity that Mundo Unico brings to their four main textures: solids, prints, stripes, and jacquard. That unique identity is also what their waistband indicates to anyone who sees it. And with their four different styles, the brand's versatility no doubt helped it spread into international markets. By basing their new looks on seasonal diversity and the shades of each one, they are sure to remain as fresh as ever.
But where quality is concerned, there is more behind Mundo Unico than its man-smart designers. Personnel for the brand couldn't be held in higher importance. After the creative process is complete and a collection is ready to be made into samples and manufactured, individuals hand-select the fabrics that will go on to become finished Mundo Unico products. Attention to detail leaves only the highest-quality as a possibility.
Mundo Unico chooses cotton because of its soft touch and consistently comfortable temperature. Polyamide and elastane, though, are what really provide the perfect fit. And each fabric is put through fabric stamping tests to assure their quality.
Once the fabric is cut, it is sewn to a waistband and branded with a label. Just like when you purchase an item from a luxury brand, you want to know what you are wearing is legitimate. And when you see a Mundo Unico waistband, you know your body is being hugged by high-quality.
Of course, the most well-recognized individuals behind Mundo Unico are their models. The gorgeous men all have strong Latin features blended with an international look. Holding charisma and sophistication equally as high as comfort, the brand has made more than a name for itself. It has made an identity, and now, the guys of Mundo Unico can now be found across the world. And most recently, the men can be seen modeling Mundo Unico's Autumn 2014 collection, "Amazonia."
Have you tried Mundo Unico yet? Starting now and lasting through August, readers can get a discount on all full-priced Unico items with the discount code: "unico offer". What are you waiting for? Head on over to the site and let us know what you made out with in the comments below, or by tweeting us @underwearexpert.

Being an entrepreneur and small business owner, I love to hear success stories of talented people who started companies, with the goal to make a difference and to to bring something new to the market; people driven by a vision, a passion, a curiosity, and a determination; people with a mission.
Nina is one of them. She founded INGREDIENTS LDN with the goal to curate products that infuse everyday life with value and meaning; products that can make the ordinary extraordinary. Her shop is filled with beautiful, handpicked and useful accessories for the considered home. Lovely essentials in neutral colours and quality materials. Her philosophy is definitely along the lines of what hygge is, and maybe that's why we love INGREDIENTS LDN so much.
I was curious as to find out more about Nina and the story behind the shop, and she kindly agreed to answer my questions.
Q: Tell us a little about yourself/ Who are you and what do you do?
A: I am a dreamer, a thinker and a critical optimist. I am someone with many interests and even more questions. I run a small online concept store called INGREDIENTS LDN. We are an interior and lifestyle store inspired by scientific, philosophical and cultural perspectives on wellbeing.
Q: What inspired you to start your shop?
A: My foundation is a combination of two distinct fields. On the one hand my background is in psychology. I spent several years working as a clinical psychologist supporting people to move forward from depression and anxiety. On the other hand I also spent some time developing and consulting brands on strategy, positioning and consumer insights. ILDN is a combination of my passion for the big and wonderful ideas coming out of psychology and philosophy and my interest in translating these into a tangible brand.
Q: What sets your shop aside from its competitors?
A: We are a concept store with a theoretical and not just a visual concept behind it. We use ideas about wellbeing as the inspiration for all aspects of our brand from our visual aesthetic and product selection to what we write about in our journal. Our content and products are linked to ideas and are meant to inspire thought on how we can use our surroundings to design for wellbeing.
To be clear, our products are not meant to create wellbeing but to inspire the people who use them to create wellbeing. This to me is an important distinction because wellbeing is not something that can be bought but instead is something acquired through a long and conscious process. A life's work so to say. Our aim is to inspire people to give that journey some consideration.
On a more basic level we offer quality products with a focus on a timeless aesthetic and natural materials. Our pieces are selected with the aim of being able to stand the test of time both from a design and a durability perspective. Many of the items in our store are hand made out of quality materials like solid wood or pure linen. The idea is that they should get better with time and use, allowing the patina of the users own story to be carved into them.
Q: Who or what influences your style? To what do you attribute your wonderful aesthetic?
A: The single biggest influence on all aspects of the store is my continuous reading in psychology, philosophy and sociology. I am fascinated with the insights coming out of these fields and hold a genuine belief that these are ideas truly worth spreading. The challenge is to spread them in a digestible and accessible way that can be relevant to many people while still staying true to the original idea. I most certainly do not always succeed at this attempt. But I think the key is that these ideas are slowly being woven into the fabric of our daily vocabulary. Terms like mindfulness and flow are everyday terms now that many people are familiar with. I am proud to be able to contribute to this.
But our aesthetic also has a strong conceptual influence from ideas outwith psychology. For example, the modernist Scandinavian design aesthetic is rooted in social changes that occurred in Europe in the 1950s. The ideology associated with this movement is linked to aspirations to make design democratic and available to all while not stripping it of beauty and the functional qualities that have the power to enhance everyday life. In line with the values of this era, some of our aesthetic influence lies in modern Scandinavian design.
Finally our aesthetic is strongly influenced by the seasons – we try to create a warm and cosy feel in the colder seasons and a bright and airy feel in summer and spring.
Q: How do you find the pieces/products for your store?
A: Our sourcing is highly eclectic. We often use a concept as our starting point such as a desire to find a cup that will slow its user down when drinking from it (such as our sipping cup) or a blanket perfect for sharing with loved ones due to its size and comfort (such as our hand-loomed cotton blanket). Then the search begins. We spend a long time looking for brands and artisans whose products meet our requirements and fit our aesthetic. We love working directly with makers who are passionate about their craft. They are more likely to work with natural materials and their ethics and values are often in line with our own. But sometimes sourcing can be quite serendipitous and wonderful objects seem to find us.
Q: What are the biggest challenges you face with running your own store?
A: We are new to this line of work so there are many aspects that are challenging for us. One of the biggest challenges we face is how to create a profitable business while staying true to our values. A strong focus on the bottom line runs counter to why many people from our generation start businesses. While I think we are all working hard to change the rules of the game we have to bend and comply to some extent if we want to survive. Disentangling those aspects of our vision we are willing to compromise on, and those that are essential is a never-ending learning curve. Personally I find this journey incredibly exciting as it propels me forward at a much more rapid pace, helping me to solidify what I truly believe in and those aspect that are not core to who we are and what we stand for.
Q: What do you love most about having your own store?
A: Oh the vision! The opportunity to translate our ideas into something tangible that can engage other people is a dream come true. Creating a virtual world that is in line with our vision that others can interact with is incredibly rewarding. I am grateful for every bit of feedback and every single transaction we make. Almost one year in I am still humbled by the thought that others may have an interest in what we are trying to create. That will never cease to be motivating.
Q: What are you proud of?
A: I am proud to be able to share some of my biggest inspirations with other people. For example, the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is someone whose work has strongly influenced my life. He is a man with a wonderful vision of the world and some amazing ideas on happiness, creativity and 'flow'. To have the opportunity to perpetuate ideas like his is something I am very proud of.
Q: Do you have any special projects in the pipeline or exciting future plans?
A: So many! From refining our brand to new products to exciting collaborations. The only question is how much will we be able to squeeze into the next year? Our first year was very heavily focused on getting the store up and running. Now that we have settled into the daily running of it our focus for next year will be on refining everything from product offer to content.
Q: What are your favorite pieces/products at the moment?
A: I adore the simplicity of linen. It is such a wonderful material because it is so uncomplicated, natural and its beauty and comfort increase over time making linen products wonderful heirloom pieces. So I love all of the linen items in our store. That being said I adore our black cutting boards. They are handmade by an artisanal studio in Brooklyn from a single piece of beautiful solid oak. They are not dyed; instead the black colour is brought out from within the wood through a natural reactive process. This makes them such a unique item and a wonderful gift for self or others.
Thank you very much for your interest in our store."

When importing a netlist to pcbnew, I get what appears to be a random placement. While the schematic placement is usually not a final placement for layout, it's surely better than random.
For example, say I have a schematic like this (click to enlarge). The leds are annotated D1-8 down the first column.
This is the placement that comes out of netlist read. I don't see a pattern.
If I run this script from my github, I'll get this:
Not final, but it's a sane starting point.
This short two minute video demonstrates. Not much to show, really:
How does it work? Pretty simple, actually. I parse the sch file for its device locations 1 and apply them to the layout. Most of it has been covered in my previous posts, but there are a couple of new things.
Where's the schematic?
kicad has some infrastructure, called kiway, to pass information between applications. I suspect one could ask for a schematic file path there. I found it easy enough to ask pcbnew for the path to the current board and simply change the file extension.
import pcbnew board = pcbnew.GetBoard() board_path = board.GetFileName() sch_path = board_path.replace(".kicad_pcb", ".sch")
Getting location/transform from the sch
components look like this in the sch files:
$Comp L Device:LED D49 U 1 1 5A3B7115 P 6650 1500 F 0 "D49" H 6641 1716 50 0000 C CNN F 1 "LED" H 6641 1625 50 0000 C CNN F 2 "Miles:LED_5730" H 6650 1500 50 0001 C CNN F 3 "~" H 6650 1500 50 0001 C CNN 1 6650 1500 1 0 0 -1 $EndComp
I found a bit of documentation on the format on this website, but it's not complicated. The things we need are:
- field 3 – "F 3" for the footprint name and location
- transform – "1 0 0 -1". At first glance, this might seem a goofy way to represent it, but it's just a matrix to multiply a point by.
- I also look at $Comp and $EndComp to ensure I'm not parsing locations from wire segments.
That's it, really. Just have to remember that eeschema stores coordinates in thousandths of an inch and pcbnew uses millionths of a mm.
We have to do this because that information is not carried forward to pcbnew. I would like to see pcbnew support user properties. Block locations could be one such property but there are others. I think it makes more sense to define netclasses in the schematic and have that passed along.↩

Tired of getting beat by the pros in Daily Fantasy leagues? Try this beginners contest with over $1 million in prizes.
Throughout the 2014 season, one of the biggest stories was the immediate success of the rookie wide receiver class. Whether it was Odell Beckham's "catch seen around the world," or Mike Evans consistent production week in and week out, the fantasy world was buzzing over the unprecedented success of the rookie class. And it wasn't just Beckham or Evans making headlines. In fact, for the first time ever, eight rookie wide receivers finished within the top 50 WRs on the season (almost 20%!). But can we expect this production again?
It is well known that the dreaded 'sophomore slump' has claimed many an NFL rising star (Michael Clayton, Mike Williams, and Zac Stacy to name a few). So what does this mean for the best WR class to date? Can we expect eye-popping numbers again, or are we doomed to fantasy peril by investing in these young stars? In this article we will examine the top rookie WRs from last season and predict whether they will rise or fall in their sophomore season.
1) Odell Beckham Jr. (5th WR Overall in Standard Scoring)
The man, the myth, the legend. The 2014 offensive rookie of the year had the greatest start to his career than any other wide receiver in history. Period. In only twelve games he caught 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 TDs. Wow! But what can we expect from the breakout rookie in 2015? It should come as no surprise that Beckham's production was increased after the season ending injury suffered by wide out Victor Cruz. With Victor Cruz coming back next season we shouldn't be surprised if Beckham's targets drop a bit. However, his production may not take too much of a hit (if any at all). With Cruz back on the field defenses will have one more playmaker to keep their eyes on. And with the emergence of Rueben Randle towards the end of the season (further catching the attention of opposing defenses), OBJ will have plenty of space to work with. Additionally, with Eli Manning growing more and more accustomed to Ben McAdoo's new offense, we should have a top 5 wide out on our hands.
Projected WR Rank: 4th Overall
2) Mike Evans (10th WR Overall in Standard Scoring)
Entering the offseason, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have many holes to fill, the most important of these being at the QB position. With the #1 pick in the 2015 draft, the Bucs are expected to take one of the top two QBs of the draft in Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota. Rookie QBs are always a big question mark going into a season, but if Mike Evans was able to produce top 10 numbers with Josh McCown and Mike Glennon under center, we shouldn't expect less with either of the two rookie QBs. As a true deep threat, Mike Evans should pair nicely with the strong arm of Jameis Winston, giving us a possible WR1 next season.
Projected WR Rank: 12th Overall
3) Kelvin Benjamin (17th WR Overall in Standard Scoring)
In his rookie season, Kelvin Benjamin utilized his size, becoming one of the greatest red zone threats in the NFL. Unfortunately for Benjamin, he's the only receiving threat on the field, and with a less than mediocre run game, defenses need only focus on Benjamin. Additionally, the Panthers must upgrade their offensive line in order to give Benjamin time to create space and allow Cam Newton to find the open man. With the recent release of veteran RB DeAngelo Williams, the Panthers need to add some playmakers to their roster if Benjamin has any chance of repeating his solid WR2 numbers in 2015.
Projected WR Rank: 18th Overall
4) Jordan Matthews (24th WR Overall in Standard Scoring)
As the 7th WR taken in the 2014 draft, Jordan Matthews exceeded expectations by finishing as the 4th best rookie wide out and the 24th overall wide out. The simple fact about Jordan
Matthews is that Chip Kelly really likes him. In fact, he had to trade up in the draft (10th pick of the 2nd round) just to get him. With the approval of Chip Kelly, Matthews saw plenty of playing time right off the bat. However, his production fell in the middle of the season (failed to gain more than 50 receiving yards in a game between weeks 4-10). This was not Matthews fault. The fact of the matter is that the Eagles need to address their quarterback situation, and if we know anything about Chip Kelly, he's not a afraid to make a monumental deal that would give Matthews the help that he needs.
Projected WR Rank: 22nd Overall
5) Sammy Watkins (25th WR Overall in Standard Scoring)
At the beginning of the season, it appeared as though Sammy Watkins deserved to be the first receiver taken in the 2014 draft. However, as the season progressed Watkins' numbers were devastated by poor QB play in Buffalo. Unless the Bills can trade up in the draft and grab Winston or Mariota (probably not going to happen), it is unlikely that the Bills QB situation will improve in 2015. A natural talent, Watkins is plagued by a poor offense and poor system. Additionally, Watkins doesn't have the speed (4.43-40) of fellow rookie Brandin Cooks (4.33-40), or the size (6'1" 205 lbs) of fellow rookie Kelvin Benjamin (6'5" 243 lbs), or the hands of fellow rookie Odell Beckham Jr. Though it is undeniable that Watkins is a natural talent, all of these factors lead us to believe that we may see a true sophomore slump from Watkins next season.
Projected WR Rank: 28th Overall
Though we've only covered the top five rookie wide outs from last season, the rest of the rookie class deserves recognition, and in fact some may even make a jump ahead of the 5 WRs listed above. Listed below are the projected ranks of the remaining top 13 rookie wide receivers in order of their 2014 rank:
7) Martavis Bryant* – Projected WR Rank: 32nd Overall
8) Jarvis Landry* – Projected WR Rank 35th Overall
9) Brandin Cooks* – Projected WR Rank: 26th Overall
10 Taylor Gabriel – Projected WR Rank: 70th Overall
11 Allen Robinson – Projected WR Rank: 58th Overall
12 Donte Moncrief* – Projected WR Rank: 30th Overall
13 Davante Adams* – Projected WR Rank: 42nd Overall
Potential Sleepers = *

Panorama Europe - Lampedusa in Winter
PANORAMA EUROPE 2016. Film LAMPEDUSA IN WINTER, presented by the Austrian Cultural Forum New York.
Co-presented by Museum of the Moving Image and the European Union National Institutes for Culture in New York, PANORAMA EUROPE showcases contemporary European feature films.
Lampedusa in Winter (Lampedusa im Winter)
Austria. Dir. Jakob Brossmann. 2015, 93 mins. In Arabic, English, Italian, and Tigrinya with English subtitles.
The Italian "refugee island" of Lampedusa is in the firm grip of winter tristesse. The Tourists have left, the remaining refugees fight to be taken to the mainland.
As a fire destroys the worn down ferry, that connects the island to Italy, the mayor Giusi Nicolini and the local fishermen struggle for a new ship. While the refugees are finally transferred by plane, the fishermen occupy the port in order to protest. The island is isolated and as food supplies run out the protesters start to disagree with each other. The coast guard tries to prevent the tragedies of the upcoming season out in the sea, while many islanders try to describe the role of Lampedusa to the never ending stream of reporters that step by on the island.
The tiny community at the edge of Europe is engaged in a desperate fight for dignity, and for solidarity with those who many consider the cause of the ongoing crisis: the African boat people.

Pistone Hair Restoration
Restore Your Hair. Get Your Confidence Back and Start Getting More Out of Life!
Body Hair Transplant
Hairs from the head area are often used for transplantation purposes. However patients sometimes do not have enough hair on the heads to get the desired result. Transplanting of body hairs, which are similar to head hairs can be a solution. Hairs may be taken from the arms, legs, chest, stomach, back and armpits. Even facial hair under certain circumstances can be used.
For some patients, body hair can become the source of several thousand grafts. This large area can be used to achieve great hair density, reasonably filling larger bald areas. These results would not be possible for patients with little to no donor hairs on their heads.
Body hairs are removed using the FUE technique, leaving no linear scar. Body hair grafts are then implanted in the same way as grafts of head hair.
Which patients are qualified for body hair transplants?
Generally donor hairs are taken from the back or side of the head. Patients with not enough hair in the donor area are not suitable for a normal transplant. Not having enough hair can fall under reasons like not having enough hair and/or previous hair transplants making it impossible to further extract donor hairs from the head.
The results of a hair transplant with unsuitable donor hair are not pleasing, as these can only compensate hair loss to a minor extent. Any resulting scars are usually still visible.
Since the results of Body Hair Transplantation are not as reliable as FUT or FUE I have chosen not to perform them in my office. However there are many surgeons in the USA who still do if that is your last resort.

I've been practicing my moody, haphazard floral design/photography. It is HARD, y'all. (Inspired by Ariel Dearie, a New Orleans native, natch.)
Thank you all for the Camp excitement! That makes me so happy. A few of you have written in with questions, which I will answer below. And if you have more questions, email or ask in the comments.
Q: When is [city] Camp going to be?
A: Well, here's the thing. Nothing has been scheduled in any city besides New Orleans. That is for a couple of reasons: a) I've been secretly offering the New Orleans class to locals for a while, so it was very easy to fill (there are a few spots left!), but b) I had no idea if anyone elsewhere would be interested. So if you think you might be even the tiniest bit into going, email me (and it would be super-helpful if you put the city name in the subject line) or tell me in the comments so I can get a feel for the most popular cities and can schedule accordingly. Also, if you would like Design Camp to come to your city, tell me that in the comments too!
Q: Can inexperienced designers attend?
A: YES. This is for people of all skill levels, but most especially for those of you who have no idea what to do or where to begin. Because that is what I am going to show you. And it will be super fun. Also there will be cupcakes.
Q: What all will we learn at Design Camp?
A: Girl, so much. Here is the list I've got in my current syllabus (Syllabus! HAHAHAHAAAAAA.):
Basic principles and elements of design
Starting from scratch
Using and repurposing existing items
Common mistakes (DEWITs)
Putting it all together (DEWINNIT)
Styling it all up
Basic flower arranging*
Shooting interiors
Paint and wall coverings
Window treatments
Furniture and rugs
Q: Do I need to reserve all day on both days for this?
A: No, each day should run from morning until about mid-afternoon, with breaks for lunch and snacks. So you still have time to go home afterward, catch a disco nap, and get dressed to go out on Saturday night. I assume that's why you asked.
Q: Is there any way to schedule a one-on-one session or in-home consultation?
A: Yes, I am offering both to Camp attendees, at a discounted rate (Attendees will also receive a discount on all decorating services). These will be scheduled before and/or after Camp hours.
Q: Is everything going to be awesome?
A: Yes.
*Not like craziness in above photo, unless you're into that sort of thing.

Real Estate
Tighter market means harder work for agents
RALEIGH — Slow market. Slow business. Slow sales. Time to sit back and chill? Not even close. Many Triangle real estate agents are working harder than ever.
"We're out there working," declares Ed Willer, a Raleigh agent who has been through the booms and busts for more than three decades.
"It's not like the old days. When we make an offer now, we may have to go back a half dozen times to get a deal," he says.
Realtors Deborah Nance of Real Living Pittman Properties of Wake Forest and Fair Pickel, a broker with Fonville Morisey Realty in Raleigh, have had to expand their vocabularies and knowledge about their trade, too.
"Short sale," when the sale price of a home is below the mortgage still owed by the seller, is a familiar term today.
Trades are less well known but Jim Allen, president of the Jim Allen Group with Coldwell Banker Howard Perry and Walston, says, "I didn't even know what a trade was until 2008. Now, we've done 60 in the past three years."
Brokers such as Raleigh's Joe Hodge of Hodge & Kittrell, Sotheby's International, are learning more about banking than ever.
"The scrutiny that borrowers go through today — documentation, details, etc., have locked the system up," Hodge says. "To get from contract to closing is excruciatingly difficult."
When he gets teased by his business friends about not having enough to do, Willer laughs and points to figures published by Stacey Anfindsen in his Triangle Area Residential Realty Report.
"To sell a house today, it takes on average 30 showings," says Willer, a broker with Prudential York Simpson Underwood.
Nance, in real estate since 1979, remembers the boom years in the 1990s and the mid-years between 2001-2010. There were stories about sellers rejecting a list price offer because he knew there were three more buyers waiting in his driveway to make an offer.
"We had an abundance of buyers. Houses didn't stay on the market long. There were not the lender issues, and we didn't have to worry about appraisals as much," Nance recalls.
Pickel adds, "We have houses that would have flown out the door, that would have sold in a week, but now it takes a lot more marketing and more showings."
Anfindsen's data support the agents' experiences:
In 2004, a year when the economy was growing out of the eight-month, 2001 recession, there were 29,758 sales and 651,054 showings for an average 21.8 showings per sale.
In 2006, the peak years for sales, there were 36,409 homes sold and 876,438 showings. That's an average 24 showings for a home sale.
In 2010, the most recent year for complete 12-month figures, there were 20,643 sales and 634,228 showings. That's about 31 showings per home sale.
That's down from the 2009 figure, which was 32 showings for every sale. Willer's own record is 71 showings for a home that required him to negotiate a deal between three lienholders.
Another factor in getting a contract is the market price on a home. "I've tripled my counseling time with sellers," says Hodge. "They feel that their house is better than comparable sales."
Jim Allen, whose group is the top producer in the Triangle, selling over $20 million a month in September, October and November, agrees that trust is a requirement to be successful in today's market.
"They must trust me," he says. "I have to show them proof that the tax valuations in 2008 are not true today. It's pretty tough, and not everyone accepts it well."
But Allen is upbeat about the market. He says, "I advertise in the newspaper and pump up my advertising. For us, [in 2011] the market has been back to normal. We've pretty much burned through all the lots that were on the market."
Anfindsen, an appraiser with Robert M. Birch and the incoming president of the Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors, says inventory is at 2005-2006 levels.
He believes that too many buyers and lenders thought home values would rise indefinitely. "Good agents today will articulate the traditional reasons why a customer should buy a house, not that it's a better investment than the stock market," he advises.
Those reasons include shelter, ownership in an asset and putting down roots in a community.
Allen is bullish more than most on 2012 sales. Pickel cautiously says she's optimistic and Nance sees increased activity for the new year.
They all point to record low interest rates and average rent prices that are now higher than average mortgage payments.
For Ed Willer, his plan is simple: "Work harder."

Infusionsoft Review
Infusionsoft could be considered the "gold standard" in sales and marketing automation for small businesses. They've been around since 2001 (longer than Ontraport, Hubspot or ActiveCampaign), are serving over 25,000 small business customers, and have a rich eco-system of integrations, 3rd party apps and certified consultants (I am one of them).
Despite claims that their software is convoluted and confusing, earning it the nickname "Confusionsoft", this is no longer true in my experience. Infusionsoft is extremely feature rich, and therefore naturally has a bit of a steeper learning curve. Over the last few years they have put a lot of energy into making the many features easier to understand and access – starting with the release of their visual campaign builder, which makes the design, build-out and maintenance of complex automation campaigns intuitive AND fun!
The sales automation module is robust, the e-commerce capabilities are decent, but nothing compared to any of the best of breed single purpose shopping cart solutions out there, and there is enough stuff built into the application that Infusionsoft may well be the only tool you'll ever need, (other than a 3rd party solution that helps you create decent looking landing pages and forms).
Infusionsoft targets stage 3 businesses, with more than 1000 contacts, a few employees, 3+ years in business and $250k+ annual revenue.
Infusionsoft Pleasure Points
Visual Campaign Builder
Create entire marketing campaigns and automations through a simple drag-and drop interface. Planning and building out happens on the same drawing board, arranging triggers, sequences, emails and more on a canvas and connecting them with lines. Everything that belongs together is in one place.
Interface and Workflow
They really cleaned up the interface. Customizable dashboard, quick-search bar, interactive contact view which gives you the most frequently needed functions right under a contact snippet in a contact search result, and "My Day" productivity overview.
Opportunity Management
Infusionsoft has powerful tools to design a custom sales pipeline and to support sales teams in taking prospects through, structured sales process. (Deluxe edition and up). All sorts of automations can be triggered simply by moving an opportunity into another stage.
E-Commerce and Shopping Cart
Infusionsoft is the only all-in-one tool discussed on this website that features not only order forms, but a full storefront. It is somewhat limited when compared to a dedicated shopping cart software like WooCommerce or Shopify, but enough for very many use cases, besides thanks to Infusionsoft's powerful API, there are plenty of 3rd party shopping cart integrations available.
Infusionsoft has a rich eco-system of 3rd party apps and integrations that either provide functionality that's not there out-of-the-box, or just much better than what comes built-in. You can rest assured that whatever the need is, someone has built an app for it.
Infusionsoft Pain Points
Website Tracking
Tracking contact behavior on websites is essentially non-existent. Triggering actions based on a contact's website behavior is hard to impossible. This is a severe lack in functionality. Ontraport and ActiveCampaign both do an amazing job in this regard.
Commitment Level
Getting married to Infusionsoft requires a high level of blind faith and commitment. Not only don't they offer a free trial (like ActiveCampaign or even Hubspot) or a money back guarantee (like Ontraport), but they require customers to pay for a mandatory kickstart package AND to sign an annual contract (with monthly payments). Some coaching and implementation is included in the kickstart package, but I have yet to personally meet any Infusionsoft customer who thinks this was a good investment.
Implementation Slowness
This is hopefully a thing from the past, but for several years, despite enormous funding, Infusionsoft was painfully neglecting to listen to reasonable, urgent feature requests or necessary fixes that the community of customers and certified consultants were asking for. Some recent changes within the product development team seem to have been successful, and for some time now the monthly updates have felt provided much needed improvements.

As published in The NJBIZ Daily News, story by Lori Campos.
Dave Gorman, the executive vice president at Pinnacle Freight Systems in Florence, started with the most important issue for the company while a winter storm dropped a foot or snow (or more) on various parts of the state Tuesday.
"All of our drivers are safe," he said. "We made the decision yesterday to pull all of our (local) drivers off the road.
"When we run into a situation like this, safety is the first priority. It's paramount: for our drivers, for our employees, for other motorists — in no particular order. Safety comes first."
And while bad weather is a part of the industry, it always comes at a price.
Gorman says Pinnacle, annually one of the fastest-growing companies in the state, will lose "over six figures" in revenue from the storm.
"It's not insignificant," he said. "We have fixed costs in this business, and when you have no revenue going against it, you feel it. This is really challenging to transportation companies of all types."
Gorman said the company took all the necessary steps it could to prepare for the storm.
For starters, any of the dozen or so local drivers who had the ability to take an empty trailer home Monday night did so.
"We wanted to be in a position where, if there were areas where the weather wasn't as bad, we could reach customers," he said.
Meanwhile, back at the Florence headquarters, employees made sure to clear areas around the loading docks of Pinnacle's 100,000-square-foot warehouse, enabling plows to better clear the areas when they could.
They also made sure to keep access to giant wheeled step ladder setups that allow them to clear snow off of the roofs of the tractor-trailers that remained at the yard — an important consideration, considering trucking companies can face huge fines for having snow blowing off the tops of their trailers.
And, while the local drivers and all but three of the two dozen office and dock employees stayed home, there still was work to be done.
Gorman said 75 percent of the company's long-haul drivers — some of whom they rushed to get out early Monday — already are in other parts of the country, where they are clear of snow.
In the coming days, Gorman and Pinnacle will work to catch up on loads, but he said there's no making up for the lost day.
"You adjust where you can adjust," he said. "But there's only so much you can do."
The biggest thing, Gorman said, is communication.
"We alert our companies that normal transit times will be impacted," he said. "We ask for their patience, tell them what we're going to do and how safety is paramount.
"We ask for flexibility. If a load was supposed to get there on Thursday, it may come on Friday. If it was due Friday, it may be put off to Monday."
Gorman said he doesn't expect pushback.
"People who are in this business know and understand," he said. "This isn't a surprise for them."
The storm, however, was a bit of surprise, considering the calendar.
Gorman said he thought the company had got through the winter relatively unscathed.
That being said, Gorman hopes this March storm does have one silver lining.
"We're hoping this is winter's last gasp," he said.
Editor Tom Bergeron contributed to this report.

As the sun set on the hottest day of the year in Scotland's biggest city, a vibrant display of tartan-clad dancers, pipe bands and kilted entertainers kicked off 11 days of sporting endeavour.
Famed singers Rod Stewart and Susan Boyle, along with over 3,000 volunteers, helped provide the entertainment for a packed stadium as they welcomed the 6,500 athletes from 71 mostly former British colonies.
The opening ceremony drew to a close after two hours when the Queen's Baton Relay entered the stadium at the end of its 190,000-km journey around the Commonwealth.
"The baton relay represents a calling together of people from every part of the Commonwealth and serves as a reminder of our shared ideals and ambitions," said Britain's Queen Elizabeth, the head of the Commonwealth.
"And now, that baton has arrived here in Glasgow, a city renowned for its dynamic cultural and sporting achievements, for the warmth of its people, for this opening ceremony of the friendly games."
Scotland is hosting the multi-sport event for the third time after 1970 and 1986, when they were held in Edinburgh, but this edition of the gathering will be the biggest sporting event ever held in the country.
Celtic Park, more usually decked out in green and white of one of the city's two major football clubs, was awash with the sights, sounds and colours of the Commonwealth as the athletes entered the arena.
India, home to more than half of the people in the Commonwealth, led the parade of nations and each contingent was guided around the stadium by their own Scottish terrier dog.
To honour to the victims of their national airline's two recent tragedies, Malaysian athletes wore black armbands and carried their nation's flag at half staff.
The 298 people who died when flight MH17 crashed in Ukraine on July. 17 were also remembered with an impeccably observed minute of silence.
Images of great athletes from competing nations such as Scotland's six-time Olympic champion cyclist Chris Hoy and Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar flashed up on a 100-metre wide screen – the largest in Europe – urging spectators to make donations to the charity Unicef.
The biggest cheer of the night came unsurprisingly for the 310 Scottish athletes, who marched into the stadium behind the Cross of St Andrew kitted out in their controversial pastel tartan kilts and shawls.
Malaysia's Prince Tunku Imran, President of the Commonwealth Games Federation, brought a temporary halt to proceedings and much amusement to the crowd when he struggled to open the baton, which contained the Queen's speech.
Goodwill was the overriding sentiment of the evening, though, and loud cheers from the crowd greeted the baton's eventual opening before the British monarch declared the Games open.
"To you, the Commonwealth athlete, I send my good wishes for success in your endeavours," she said.
"Your accomplishments over the coming days will encourage us all to strengthen the bonds that unite us."
After an opening night of celebration, the sporting action begins on Thursday with the first gold of the Games up for grabs in the women's triathlon.
The closing ceremony will be held at Hampden Park on Aug. 3.

Who Will Play Beaver Stadium's First Concert Ever?
Penn State made a massive announcement last Saturday night before the Ohio State game: that Beaver Stadium will host its first concert ever on July 8, 2017.
There have been whispers of it happening for some time—as many stadiums have begun to double as concert venues for years—but it was always a mystery whether or not the university would pull that plug. Now, it's officially on.
The catch? Well, we don't know yet what that concert will be.
Penn State will be announcing the name of the performer at this weekend's home game against Iowa, November 5. But for now, we have to bite our nails and wait... and, of course, speculate.
We've come up with some possibilities of who could make history with the first Beaver Stadium concert ever. Read on and tell us what you think.
Lady Gaga
She just released a new album, so it's only logical that she will probably be touring soon. Plus, the last time she was supposed to perform here (at the BJC in 2013), she had to cancel due to a hip injury. Will she make a long-awaited comeback to Happy Valley?
Bruce Springsteen
The boss has been to State College several times in recent years, and he's always a favorite here. What better way to christen Beaver Stadium as a concert venue than with a rock legend?
Tom Petty
Speaking of rock legends, Tom Petty said in an interview in June that he hopes to release an expanded edition of his 1995 album Wildflowers in 2017, and then take it on the road. Could he be announcing tour dates soon?
Garth Brooks
Switching gears to Country... Garth sold out a whopping six shows at the BJC last year and received rave reviews from fans, so selling out Beaver Stadium would be right up his alley.
Kenny Chesney
His concerts are a huge hit every summer; he has played Heinz Field for several summers, and it's become a very popular, all-day extravaganza. It's definitely plausible for him to bring that energy here.
Bon Jovi
Not all bands are huge enough to play a venue the size of Beaver Stadium, but Bon Jovi is one of them. They're touring in spring 2017, and could announce more dates to extend the tour into the summer.
Who do you think will be Beaver Stadium's first performer ever? Tweet to us at @HappyValleyPSU and let us know!

Vodacom Durban July
"4 July 2009"
A festive Vodacom Durban July Gallops staged yesterday morning at Durban's Greyville Racecourse brought out great weather, hot coffee and sticky buns but few sureties or revelations for the big race day.
Top turf writer David Thiselton reports that every one of the 16 challengers that galloped strode out nicely and, unlike last year, none of them could be eliminated from calculations on the basis of a poor workout.
David's analysis is as follows :
The three visually most impressive gallops were arguably Pocket Power, Our Giant and Outcome.
Pocket Power's superiority to the rest of the field was evident as he powered down the straight, hard on the bit, head bowed and striding out well under big race jockey Bernard Fayd'Herbe. Pocket Power put in a very similar gallop to last year, finishing just a half-a-length or so behind his companion, which on this occasion was Nevvay.
Our Giant quickened well at the top of the straight and strode out very well with his head down as did the course specialist Outcome.
Other eye-catching gallops were put up by Smart Banker, River Jetez and Thandolwami.
Smart Banker quickened clear of his companion impressively and stretched out well all the way to the line.
River Jetez worked with Consensual, who had thrashed her on the cinders at Milnerton in her final serious gallop before the J&B Met. However, on this occasion River Jetez, who lead the pair into the straight, pulled further and further away from Consensual down the straight in effortless fashion.
Thandolwami wasn't asked to do much but looked comfortable as he stretched out down the straight. He worked in blinkers but Craig Eudey later decided, after consulting with jockey Raymond Danielson, that the blinkers would not be used in the big race. Raymond Danielson reported that Thandolwami had switched off very well in the running, but the blinkers had made him a touch keen before the workout had begun.
Tropical Empire also impressed and looked to be enjoying himself, while London Guest strode out well and did just enough, as is his tendency, to keep his companion at bay.
The least appealing of the gallops was that of Meteor Shower, who was left in his companion, Diamond Quest's, wake. He clearly does not have natural speed, but will stay every inch of the 2200m.
Likeithot did not stride out quite as well as his stable companions, but did little wrong, while Cape Town and Buy And Sell put up very good work.
Thundering Jet quickened well to join his companion Golden Parachute before the pair strode out well together to the line.
The three-year-olds, Big City Life, Forest Path and Zirconeum, all strode out well, but might have lost some fans simply because their youthful frames stood out when compared to the older horses. However, this is where the gallops can be misleading and a glance at the formbook, at least in the cases of Big City Life and Zirconeum, would restore confidence.
Kapil paraded in front of the grandstand. He jarred up in the Gold Challenge but has responded extremely well to treatment and is 100% sound. He is in full work on the sand but Stan Elley did not want to risk a grass workout.
Bouquet-Garni did not arrive at the course after refusing to load.
For those seeking a more definitive indication as to what the final result might be, the traditional Vodacom Durban July Gallops Sangoma was on hand to call on the ancestors for their predictions :
1st Number 3, 2nd Number 6, 3rd Number 7, 4th Number 17.
