Taking on the conversion of a disused chapel in Somerset, artist Jonathan Delafield Cook, illustrator Laura Stoddart and their two children (11 and 13 years old) have made the smooth transition from incomers to long-term residents. In this bedroom a simple storage wall has been filled with coloured boxes that match the rainbow pom poms at the window. A sweet mid-century desk for home work sits in front of the window.
If floor space is limited but you have higher ceilings, consider adding a loft or platform for your sleeping area with storage or seating underneath. This isn't an option for everyone, but for those who don't mind literally climbing into bed, this layout can completely transform a space.

Some of my favorites from both Pinterest and Youtube, complete with links to an actual step by step tutorial or video with instructions.
I have seen this image up on my Pinterest feed a few times in the past and have always thought I would love to be lying in that bed reading a good book! I love the contrast of black and white and think it's a clever decision to have the fur on the end of the bed so it warms up the rest of the scheme. The artwork is oversized but not overpowering and I am always drawn to a simple colour palette- in this case it's black, white and brown with a touch of gold. It's simple, elegant and beautiful.

This quiet and comfortable reading spot lies in one of the spare bedrooms of this perfect country house, decorated by interior designer Veere Grenney. The owners recognise how lucky they were to find such a large home in such pristine condition and squandered no time in filling it with the possessions they love, like this floral, low back armchair and geometric rug in complementary shades of green.
Butter yellow curtains are a pretty complement to whimsical gray floral wallpaper in this designer space. Bamboo Roman shades set behind the curtains add visual depth to the design, while a blanket and throw pillows add layers of pattern and color.
This bedroom in Ugbrooke Park was used by the Cardinal Weld (father of the wife of the 7th Lord Clifford) when he visited the house, thus his portrait and travelling trunk remain in the room. The walls of the Cardinal's Room are covered in 'Meredith' in red by Nina Campbell for Osborne & Little, which is also used on the canopy and headboard.

The owners of this newbuild Bahamas beach house turned to trusted interior designer John McCall to provide their house with a British sensibility, practical furnishings and interiors that are not 'too beachy'.
As much as possible, owner Anne-Marie tried to match the wall colours to those that her grandmother had used, keeping the bedrooms the same subtle colours, but adding 'ribbons' of colour to outline the architecture and 'dress the room'.
Designer Guy Goodfellow has made the window a feature in this manor-house bedroom in Devon. Its casement is painted in Rose of Jericho's 'Mountain Green', framed by thick linen curtains and with a smart seat underneath. The ceiling is painted with floral motifs, giving the appearance of pargeting. To replicate these murals, try the painter Dawn Reader.
The pale walls, bedding and headboard in this small bedroom are perfect for such a tiny space. Loft conversions always benefit from large windows, such as the one here, to fill the rooms with natural light.
The owners of this newbuild Bahamas beach house turned to trusted interior designer John McCall to provide their house with a British sensibility, practical furnishings and interiors that are not 'too beachy'. A white palette characterises most rooms in the house. Pastel blue is added in the main bedroom with bedding and a storage chest. Pineapple detailing at the top of each post on the four-poster bed subtly offers a Caribbean feel.
In this London house designed by Suzy Hoodless, the children's rooms were kept graphic and simple; Suzy hates 'cute' decoration that they will quickly grow out of – she has used a Børge Mogensen cabinet as a changing table in her own home. So the only concession she made to the children's ages was bright primary colour. In one of the rooms a custom-designed mural has been painted on the wardrobe door.
This is a beautiful girl's room. The room has been done in child friendly and soft colours. Alphabet decals are put on the wall perhaps to satisfy the concept of play way learning. There is colour everywhere to hold the interest of my little princess so that everything around her fascinates her.
Double the big-kid beds, double the fun! This dreamy toddler room inspiration will make your little ones excited to share a room with their sibling. The key to creating a fun and functional kids' room for two siblings is to give them each their own space.
A pop-up play tent or tee-pee is an adorable – not to mention fun – addition to a kids' room. Take this idea from kids' wallpaper and fabric specialists Hibou Home and make your own with fabric and string.
As her book My Greek Island Home hits shops, we travelled to a small village on the Greek island of Lesvos to meet Claire Lloyd, who runs a guest house with her partner, artist Matthew Usmar Lauder. The bedroom in the guest house is combined with the living area. White spaces and sparse furnishings including found, mended and made objects make the most of the sun-drenched setting.
I really like alot of these rooms plus u cud combine them to get like the best room ever!!!! i liked the multi-coloured spots on the walls i 1 of the rooms x i loved the second pink room x there is a really good range for all different teen girls even the more boyish girls i thought x
I love all of these diy ideas an will be using as many in my daughters room – she is 11 an wants a teen room- problem is we live in a single wide trailer- her room is extremely small- I have no idea what to do to make it cool looking an give the wow effect – trying to figure out what colors to paint it so it doesn't look smaller but give the effect of bigger- walls are Sheetrocked thankfully- she has very small closet an one very wide window– if u or anyone has an ideas or pictures it would be greatly appreciated by both of us–!!! Thank u, Brenda in VT
The color white is an expansive and practical choice for a small bedroom. It keeps the space from looking too busy or boxed in. Using white or lighter colors combats the absence of large wall space or windows to brighten up the space.
Wooden flooring can give a clean, spacious look, but unless you have underfloor heating, carpeting is the cosier option, bearing in mind that you'll be walking around in bare feet at least some of the time. Another point to consider, if you're a light sleeper or live in a neighbourhood where it can be noisy at night, is that carpets can help to muffle sounds, whereas wooden floors won't. That said, you can always achieve a happy medium with polished floorboards strewn with luxurious, toe-friendly rugs.

Yes girl! You read that correctly. Instant Oil Change.
You know this all so well. As a boss babe…hold the babe, you are running around doing 80 million things and what always on the back burner? Anything that requires maintenance.
Just think about it… your health, mental state, your house…maybe even your car? It's because you are constantly thinking about others and not about yourself. Either we want to admit it or not, WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE.
Our little team just celebrated our 6th #SipandMingle and we typically take my little SUV all over Florida to host these events. When I come home, my poor SUV still has to take me all around town to meetings, events, and everyday life stuff. I feel like I am always in my car. Because I rely on my car so much, I can't take the chance of it breaking down and being without a vehicle. Whether you're a boss babe … hold the babe or not, I don't think ANYONE can be out of commission for just a second. But think about it…why are we always prolonging our oil change? Because yet again…taking care of others and time! But what if I told you that Valvoline Instant Oil Change has the perfect solution?
An instant oil change. This means that you can get your vhehicle an oil change WITHOUT getting out of your car!
The process is crazy easy. The Valvoline Instant Oil Change team will guide you into a station, get the information about the car, and start working their magic. I'm not over exaggerating… it was magic because it was quick! Oh…AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO GET OUT OF MY CAR!!!!
How many times have you packed up your lap top or brought your work because you know you are going to be sitting around for at least an hour? Since I was so use to the traditional way, I was ready to take photos of me in my car, working on my lap top and really show you that this whole experience was so convenient. I didn't even get a chance to set my workspace up because they told me they were done. It's convenient because it's FAST!
Is it truly good quality work since the service is being done so fast? The Valvoline Instant Oil Change crew was in full communications with not only me but with each other. It was a great to watch this team work together. Every member of the team were focused and truly had confidence in their craft.
I'll be completely honest… I know NOTHING about cars, so I brought Andy with me. Now I will say this, not only was he really impressed but I really didn't need anyone to come with me because the Valvoline Instant Oil Change team showed me my air filter and a sample of the new oil once they placed in my car. Looking back, the only knowledge I needed was what my vacuum looks like when I'm cleaning it out (dirty air filter) and what a new bottle of cooking oil (new oil check).
Overall, I recommend you trying Valvoline Instant Oil Change for your next oil change. You will see how quick the experience was for me and then ask yourself, why did it take you so long to get an oil change?

Vampires Awaken
Unless you've been hiding in a boarded-up, abandoned house, you can't miss the marketing for the upcoming vampire flick 30 Days of Night. Even Monsterfest has been captivated by the dangerously charming Dracula decedents. The vampire buzz is so loud that it could mark the dawn of a new trend in horror, if 30 Days of Night is as good as the Web and TV ads would have us believe.
It's the same kind of hype that surrounded 2002's 28 Days Later, which reanimated the zombie genre five years ago. Frankly, the last decent vampire movie was 2000's Shadow of the Vampire, and no one noticed its release, even with stars John Malkovich and Willem Dafoe. It's about time the genre returned to explore vampire's strong cinematic legacy. Nosferatu, Universal's classic Dracula and even the campy Lost Boys .
To prepare you for the onslaught of vampire mayhem, Bloody-Disgusting.com posted an excellent video retrospective on the vampire in light of the new film. For more blood sucking, you can also catch Blood of Dracula, Dracula 2000 and Blood of the Vampire next week on Monsterfest. As an added bonus, you can watch Nosferatu in the embedded video player if you make the leap.

A happy and blessed Christmas to you all,
Isaiah 9:6-7 (ASV)
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever.
Luke 2:1-19 (ASV)
Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to enroll themselves, every one to his own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David; to enroll himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child.
And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this is the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger."
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased."
And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us."
And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child. And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.
Romans 10:9-10 (ASV)
If thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

English Shakesperian Criticism in the Eighteenth Century
English Shakesperian Criticism in the Eighteenth Century
The Eighteenth Century is commonly referred to as the classical age. There is perhaps no great need for objecting to this designation, made familiar by use, or for insisting upon another, if it be clearly understood in what sense the term classical is employed. It must also be borne in mind that it is exceedingly difficult to sum up adequately even a single author by a term or phrase. For an entire period, with numerous conflicting currents, it is impossible. If its use is intended to convey the impression that the century was dominated by its devotion and adherence to the rules of the ancients--as they understood them--to such an extent that it was unable, or unwilling, to give proper credit to the works of authors who departed from such rules, then it is in order to suggest that the term gives rise to a false and inaccurate conception. The acceptance of the rules of the ancients was well established, by way of France, long before the beginning of the Eighteenth Century, and the rank of writers judged by their adherence to, or departure from, classical models. Classical criticism (or perhaps pseudo-classical is a truer term) was in full strength before 1688, and the century before Pope's birth was more "classical" than the age of Pope or Johnson. The subservience of emotion to intellect in poetry--supposed to be characteristic of the Eighteenth Century--is demanded by D'Avenant in his Preface to Gondibert, written almost four decades before Pope was born, and the introduction of the chorus into English tragedy was recommended by Rymer, when Pope was a boy of five.
The Eighteenth Century, in accepting classical authority in matters of literary taste and art, exercised a very considerable degree of freedom, and did not hesitate in . . .

Oil prices are climbing on an unexpected drop in U.S. crude supplies.
Benchmark crude rose 75 cents to $89.28 per barrel today in New York. Brent crude rose 39 cents to $111.54 in London.
The government says that U.S. supplies dropped by 4.7 million barrels last week. Analysts expected supplies to grow. The Energy Information Administration report says the drop in supply happened because oil imports fell. Demand declined for both oil and gasoline last week.
At the pump, gasoline prices rose 1.5 cents today to a national average of $3.474 per gallon.

Eva Mendes revealed why she lets her daughters wear whatever they want
While Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are notoriously private about their home life, we like to think they're insanely cool parents to daughters Esmeralda, three, and Amada, one. And since Eva Mendes is such a fashion savvy mom (she designs lines for New York & Company), one might assume she has distinct ideas about what her kids should and shouldn't wear. However, Mendes clarified that she doesn't stress about her kids' clothes.
While chatting with E! News at an event for The Eva Mendes Collection at New York & Company, Mendes said she doesn't put up a fight when it comes to what her daughters want to wear, saying that mismatched socks are a constant in her household. Yep, we can pretty much relate.
Not only do we think it's awesome that the star allows her girls to express themselves however they want as far as clothes are concerned, but we think it's a solid reminder that parents can't necessarily expect to win every battle.
We have a feeling Esmeralda and Amada are insanely adorable, mismatched socks and all (how could the offspring of Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling be anything but?).

So Mr Kemen who got booted out of the BBNaija house last weekend has suddenly come to the realisation that his action was as bad as bad can be and decided to apologise. If we are being honest about our observations we'd say that someone told the young man that the best thing to do in his circumstance is to send out an apology but then they forgot to explain to him what an apology really means.
Kemen Apologises To TBoss for his Acts in Big Brother Naija House. My name is Ekemini Ekerette, popularly known as Kemen (@Kemen_Fitness) one of the Big Brother Naija 2017 Housemate. I am a Fitness Trainer and a Model before joining the Big Brother house. Firstly ,I hereby tender my sincere apologies to TBoss and ask for her forgiveness as well as all the women in Africa who percieved my action as violation or a sexual offence… however I have stated the reality of what actual happened in my interview. I knew that everybody was playing the game in the house at the same time competing for the prize. I realised that I over played my game which brought about my disqualification . As you all know, I have my fitness outfit, where I train a lot of people both men and women. There has been no case or report of such acts from me. I regret the turn of play while trying to play and compete for the prize. I must emphasize that reality is different from perception However ,I also use this medium to apologise to all women being the International Women's Day, and the entire crew of Big Brother Nigeria, including my fans and family. #BBNaija #JustForYou #Payport #SeeGobe
First Kemen, no one starts an apology they hope will be accepted with a headline that refers to them in the second person. Really? "Kemen Apologises To TBoss for his Acts in the Big Brother Naija House" ???
If per chance Kemen is now wondering why a large number of reasonable and well-meaning members of the society think of his apology as a specific kind of nonsense, it's because he put a headline on an Instagram caption where he refers to himself in the second person in a bid to tender a heartfelt apology.
Or if we are being honest about our observation, we'd say someone typed out an apology and nudged him to post it.
To make things worse, the whole apology just reeks of insincerity
There's a reason this apology leaves in a worse place than he was when he left the house last weekend. It's because he has tendered this unfair and untrue apology that looks like a silly ploy to score points off an International holiday. So when exactly did Kemen decide on being apologetic? Right after he lied to the other housemates that he'd done nothing? Or when Nigerians raised hell and he had no Big Brother house to shelter him from the heat? And after he did decide to be apologetic, did he think: "oh wait, Wednesday, the International Women's Day will be a good time to publish my apologies?
Okay. If we then decide to move past all that apparent planning. How about the fact that his apology does not contain any real admission? As far as this goes, we just hear Kemen telling us that it's TBoss and the rest of the women in Africa that "perceive" his actions as sexual abuse.
And when he decided hours after to try again, he still did not touch on the subject of his wrong-doing. Sure there was a
quote postulation about responsibility but did he take it? NO!
Cont….. I acknowledge the eternal truth embedded in the age long postulation that The price of greatness is responsibility. I hereby accept the responsibility arising from the public perception of my latest actions in the big brother house. Consequently I apologise to all who may have been offended by the interpretation of my action an or inaction throughout my stay in the house. May I use this opportunity to apologise to tboss in the light of the current issues arising from that night's scene. I'm truly sorry and never thought it could end this way. To my family, friends and all who have expressed displeasure over my conduct which led to my disqualification, I pray that you find space in your heart to forgive me and give me another chance. To big brother and the Organisers, I remain ever grateful for the opportunity granted me on such a huge stage. Finally, as I call to mind the fact that in life reality and perception have a fine line of difference, I can assure that given another chance I will consciously create a reality that leaves no one in doubt of my inner strength and positive values which will ultimately will earn me a positive perception The current negative perception flowing from my action is highly regretted. I trust that the God of a second chance will avail me with opportunities to right this wrong. Ekerette Ekemini
His explanation is just so way off!
Kemen, it was not just a game that you "overplayed" You did something wrong. And except there are some facts that we are not privy to as regards that night's incident, Kemen's insistence on the "fine line between perception and reality" in justifying his acts not only takes away from an already annoying apology, it makes him seem petulant.
Finally, this whole piece is not intended to be so cynical as to discountenance the fact that Kemen may truly be sorry for his actions. It is just that this not an acceptable apology. Period. It's insincere and looks too much like a failed attempt at white-washing his image by befuddling what we know to have happened. It's an insult to all women – especially the ones he's directed these publications to.

Florian Csizmadia
Dirigent | Conductor
Artist Manager: Olivier Lefevre
For the most up-to-date biography and informations please contact us.
German conductor Florian Csizmadia is currently Music Director of the Theater Vorpommern and Philharmonisches Orchester Vorpommern (Philharmonic Orchestra of Western Pomerania), both located in the cities of Stralsund and Greifswald (Germany).
There he oversees both opera and concert: He conducts several new operatic productions per season and is responsible as Artistic Director for the planning and programming of an annual series of orchestral concerts, as well as for the outreach projects of the orchestra.
Past operatic productions at the Theater Vorpommern include Donizetti's Don Pasquale, Bizet's Carmen, Gounod's Faust, Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera and Il Trovatore, Puccini's Tosca and La Bohème, as well as a highly acclaimed production of Previn's A Streetcar Named Desire. Future projects in the opera house include new productions of Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier, Donizetti's L'Elisir d'amore, Wagner's Flying Dutchman and Detlev Glanert's latest opera, Oceane. Florian will be the first conductor to conduct a new production of this opera after the world premiere at the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
Equally at home in the concert hall, Florian conducted in the past years a broad repertoire of symphonic music ranging from the 18 th to the 21 st century and is currently expanding his repertoire further. Although not specialized, he considers the symphonic works of the Austro-Germanic tradition as central to his activities. Another focus lies on the works of British composers and especially on the music of Edward Elgar which Florian promotes regularly in his concerts. In 2018 Florian conducted a series of performances of Britten's War Requiem with joint forces from Germany, Poland and Lithuania with performances in all three countries. Being partly of Hungarian origin, the works of Hungarian composers also appear often on Florian's concert programmes. His performances are usually based on careful studies of the sources and influenced by aspects of Historically Informed Performance Practice.
Current concert projects with his orchestra include complete cycles of the symphonies of Beethoven and Brahms and the continuation of a series of concerts dedicated to the music of Elgar. In June 2020 his orchestration of Liszt's Fantasy and Fugue on 'Ad nos' will be premiered.
Prior to his tenure at the Theater Vorpommern Florian served as Principal conductor (Kapellmeister) to the Staatstheater Mainz. He started his professional career at the Hamburg State Opera where he was for ten seasons Chorus Master and staff conductor and where he collaborated with and assisted to numerous important conductors of our time.
Born in Mannheim (Germany) in 1976, Florian studied conducting and piano at the Musikhochschule (College of Music) Dresden and musicology at the University of Hamburg. Besides his conducting activities he is very much interested in musicological topics and German literature.

Cedric Kushner Promotions, Ltd. v. King
RESPONDENT: King
LOCATION: Rhode Island General Assembly
DECIDED BY: Rehnquist Court (1986-2005)
LOWER COURT: United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
ARGUED: Apr 18, 2001
DECIDED: Jun 11, 2001
Austin C. Schlick - Department of Justice, for United States, as amicus curiae, supporting petitioner
Peter Fleming, Jr. - Argued the cause for the respondents
Richard A. Edlin - Argued the cause for the petitioner
Facts of the case
Cedric Kushner Promotions, Ltd., a corporate promoter of boxing matches, sued Don King, the president and sole shareholder of a rival corporation, alleging that King had conducted his corporation's affairs in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). RICO makes it "unlawful for any person employed by or associated with any enterprise...to conduct or participate...in the conduct of such enterprise's affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity." The District Court dismissed the complaint. In affirming, the Court of Appeals held that RICO applies only where a plaintiff shows the existence of two separate entities, a "person" and a distinct "enterprise," the affairs of which that "person" improperly conducts. The court concluded that King was part of the corporation, not a "person," distinct from the "enterprise," who allegedly improperly conducted the "enterprise's affairs."
Are Don King and his corporation a distinct "person" and "enterprise," such that RICO applies?
Media for Cedric Kushner Promotions, Ltd. v. KingAudio Transcription for Oral Argument - April 18, 2001 in Cedric Kushner Promotions, Ltd. v. King
Audio Transcription for Opinion Announcement - June 11, 2001 in Cedric Kushner Promotions, Ltd. v. King
Stephen G. Breyer:
Now the second case, Kushner Promotions v. King, involves RICO, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
Now, this provision here makes it "unlawful for a person" who is employed, by or and associated with an "enterprise" to use the enterprise to commit what RICO calls a pattern of racketeering activity.
In this case, one boxing promoter, Cedric Kushner Promotions sued a different boxing promoter, Don King claiming that King was the person who used an enterprise namely his company called Don King Productions to engage in a pattern of racketeering activity.
Without deciding whether the allegations were true or not true, the lower court dismissed the complaint because King as President and sole shareholder of Don King Productions was not in its view separate enough from the corporation which was the enterprise.
It pointed out that lower courts have required that there would be some distinctness between the person and the enterprise when a plaintiff brings an action under this provision of RICO.
Now, in this case we consequently have to decide two questions: one, whether this RICO provision does require two separate entities, a person and a distinct enterprise, and two, if so, whether there is enough distinctness in this case given the closed relationship between Don King and his enterprise Don King Productions.
The lower courts held that there was a distinctness requirement.
We agree with that, in fact, every Appellate Court that has considered this question, agrees with that.
We explain it some length in our opinion that both the language of the provision and its basic purpose support our interpretation.
The harder question is whether the RICO enterprise and RICO person are here distinct.
We find contrary to what the Court of Appeals held but they are sufficiently distinct.
As we have noted, King is the President and sole shareholder of Don King Productions.
The plaintiff says that while working as the president of that company, he engaged in the unlawful pattern.
The Court of Appeals focused on the fact that the allegations related to actions taken by King were within the scope of his corporate employment.
In this situation, according to that court, the employee and the employer are essentially the same not distinct.
We disagree.
In law of course, a corporate owner, a corporate employee; a natural person is distinct from the corporation itself which is a legally different entity with different rights and responsibilities.
We can find nothing in the statute that requires any more separateness than that.
Linguistically speaking an employee like King who conducts the affairs of the corporation through illegal acts comes within the terms of the statute that forbids any person unlawfully to conduct an enterprise particularly given the acts expensive definitions of person and enterprise.
We also find that the application of RICO in these circumstances is perfectly consistent with the statute's basic purposes as we have previously defined them namely preventing the victimization of legitimate organizations and protecting the public from persons who would use an enterprise as a vehicle for unlawful activity.
The Court of Appeals formulation we fear would contravene statute's basic purposes.
We therefore reverse and remand for further proceedings.
Our decision is unanimous.

Markham's Multimatic named Wheels' Automotive Newsmaker of 2015
From building Bond's Aston to supplier success, 2015 was a banner year for Markham based Multimatic.
Last June, during the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race weekend, Bill Ford went for a guided walk around the top of the paddock. The great-grandson of Henry Ford looked at the unprecedented display of vintage Ford GT racers and Ferrari racers, and he looked at the giant posters behind them. They heralded almost 50 years since Ford beat Ferrari in a historic 1-2-3 podium finish.
This June will be the 50th anniversary of that race and for the first time in years, Ferrari will be challenged again by factory Ford GT racers — at least three of them. The new GT road car isn't even released yet and the race models are barely tried, but the head of Ford Motor Co. turned to his guide, the man responsible for building the new track-ready GTs.
RELATED: Ford Returning to Le Mans in 2016 With All-new Ford GT
"And he put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'Pressure's on, Larry,'" recalls Larry Holt. "And damn right it is. Pressure's on."
Holt is vice president of engineering for Multimatic, the Markham-based automotive supplier that is Wheels' Automotive Newsmaker of 2015.
The company was named this year as the builder of the carbon fibre GT, while also supplying suspension parts to eight of the 12 podium finishers in four Le Mans classes. It also started building the track-only Aston Martin Vulcan based on the exotic Aston Martin One-77 it already produces, among many other products made here in the GTA.
"We're honoured by this, and humbled," says Holt, "but it's ironic because we try to be pretty low key. We're the guys behind a lot of things that go on in the automotive industry."
Multimatic is a privately-owned company estimated by Automotive News to be worth US$800 million. It employs about 3,000 people, more than half of them in southern Ontario. In 2015, it was one of five Canadian companies listed among the top 100 auto suppliers in North America. That list was headed by Magna, founded in the 1950s by Frank Stronach and partner Tony Czapka. Up until 1973, Magna was originally called Multimatic.
Czapka's son, Peter, went on to work for Magna. When he left to go his own way in 1984, he called his new company Multimatic as a gesture to his dad. Today, Peter Czapka is the president and sole owner of the company.
The company's first product was a door hinge and even now, hinges and mechanisms are an important part of the business. Perhaps the company's mainstay is that it designed and builds the suspension systems for every Ford F-150 pickup truck — the bestselling vehicle in Canada and the bestselling truck in North America. Multimatic's products are used in vehicles around the world and the company now has facilities in Europe, China and the U.S., but it's still proudly Canadian.
"There's no real, logical reason why we're so adamantly a Canadian company — but we're a Canadian company," says Holt.
"We're here because we want to be here. We have a commitment to the country. "
It has a commitment to racing too, at every level including Formula 1, but supplying parts for regular cars and trucks pays the bills.
"They make millions of components every day that are on cars all over the world that don't look like race car parts at all," says Peter Frise, the CEO of market research firm Auto21 and a professor of automotive engineering at the University of Windsor.
"There's an old saying in the auto industry that it's all about the product. It's one thing to design a great product, but it's entirely another to know how to make it well.
"Multimatic is really good at making the things they make, and they're able to supply them consistently and rapidly to the market. That's what customers need. And uniquely, they're also able to make a full car."
The full car is why they're a newsmaker. The company's expertise with both chassis components and carbon fibre got them the contract to make the Ford GT — everything but the powertrain and the interior. Multimatic also built a number of niche Aston Martins, including one you may have seen recently.
"The DB10 in the new James Bond film? That was ours," says Holt. "We built 10 of them from scratch, 18 weeks around the clock, and had a roomful of spare parts too. Then I went to go and see the movie a couple of weeks ago and the car chase was over in two-and-a-half minutes. I couldn't believe it."
If the Ford GTs are successful at Le Mans this June, Multimatic will get more than its two-and-a-half minutes of fame. The pressure's on, Larry. The pressure's on.
Door hinges
Perhaps the least exotic part in any car, but they're still essential. Multimatic's hinges are found on the doors, tailgates and hoods of vehicles around the world — everything from a BMW X5 to a Ford Ecosport. Now the company specializes in "Mechatronics" which incorporates powered electronics into an ordinary mechanism, such as automatic trunk lids and even the retractable rear wings on exotic sports cars.
Step gates
Multimatic invented the extendable step gate for tailgates and pitched it to Ford for the F-150. The automaker thought it would be requested as an option on about six per cent of its trucks, so it placed a small order. Multimatic, however, was more confident and invested millions of dollars in facilities to build it. The extendable step gates are now requested on 40 per cent of the 850,000 F-150s sold each year.
DSSV dampers
Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve dampers are an effective part of the suspension on many cars, and especially performance cars. At the 2015 Le Mans endurance races, they were fitted on 21 of the 56 competing cars. When Multimatic found a medical equipment manufacturer that could cut steel to tight tolerances with a laser, it was able to adapt the technology to mass-produce DSSV dampers for road cars.
Carbon fibre
Multimatic has two autoclave pressure chambers for processing large carbon fibre components, including entire tubs. Once ready, the formed carbon fibre is covered with a special plastic bag and then the autoclave's vacuum oven shrink-wraps it. "A lot of lower-cost shops would put it in an oven and cure it. An oven is at one atmosphere (of pressure), but an autoclave can create up to 10 atmospheres, which is 150 psi. The tighter you push it together, the higher the stress becomes and the lower the weight gain."

Parasite, which drew big applause from fans and movie critics abroad, was awarded the "Palme d'Or", also known as the Golden Palm award, at Cannes in May. Since it opened in South Korea on May 30, the film has been viewed by more than 10 million people.
The film was praised for drawing viewers' sympathy by depicting a tragic story about a lower-class family meticulously planning its secretive entry into a high-class family like a parasite. Critics gave high scores for picturizing the contrast between the livelihood of the disrespected lower-class and that of the snobby high-class.
CJ ENM, the film's distributor, said in a statement on Monday that Parasite has recorded accumulated sales of $5.65 million in the U.S. box-office as of November 1. Parasite's ticket sales exceed that of Bong's 2013 science fiction film "Snow Piercer" which earned $4.56 million in the U.S.
After being screened first in three theaters on October 11, it is now being screened at 463 theaters. As of November 1, the film posted the year's best screen opening average with $125,421. The per-venue average sales were also the best-ever recorded by a foreign language film.
So far, Parasite has accumulated sales of $110 million worldwide.

A risk-based inspection system might improve the efficiency of the organic farming certification system and ultimately provide a basis for increased competitiveness of this sector. This requires the definition of an effective inspection procedure that allows statistical evaluation of critical risk factors for noncompliance. In this article, we present a study based on data from selected control bodies in five European countries that is aimed at determining the feasibility of risk-based inspections in the organic sector according to the data that are currently routinely recorded. Bayesian networks are used for identification of the factors that can affect the risk of noncompliance. The results show that previous/concurrent noncompliant behavior explains most of the risk, and that the risk increases with farm size and the complexity of their operations. The data currently recorded by control bodies appear to be insufficient to establish an effective risk-based approach to these inspections.

The Minerva Reefs (Tongan: Ongo Teleki) are a group of two submerged atolls located in the Pacific Ocean south of Fiji and Tonga.
The reefs were named after the whaleship Minerva, wrecked on what became known as South Minerva after setting out from Sydney in 1829. Many other ships would follow, for example Strathcona, which was sailing north soon after completion in Auckland in 1914. In both cases most of the crew saved themselves in whaleboats or rafts and reached the Lau Islands in Fiji.[citation needed]
The reefs were first discovered by the crew of the brig Rosalia, commanded by Lieutenant John Garland, which was shipwrecked there in 1807. The Oriental Navigator for 1816 recorded Garlands discovery under the name Rosaretta Shoal, warning that it was a dangerous shoal, on which the Rosaretta, a prize belonging to his Majesty's ship Cornwallis, was wrecked on her passage from Pisco, in Peru, to Port Jackson, in 1807. It noted that it was composed of hard coarse sand and coral, a description that must have come from Garlands report. It also said that from the distressed situation of the prize-master, Mr. Garland, the shoals extent could not be ascertained, and concluded: The situation is not to be considered as finally determined. It cited different coordinates from those given by Garland: 3010 South, longitude 17345' East.[1] The reefs were put on the charts by Captain John Nicholson of LMS Haweis in December 1818 as reported in The Sydney Gazette 30 January 1819.[2] Captain H. M. Denham of HMSHerald surveyed the reefs in 1854 and renamed them after the Australian whaler Minerva which ran aground on South Minerva Reef on 9 September 1829.[2][3][4][5]
In 1972, real-estate millionaire Michael Oliver, of the Phoenix Foundation, sought to establish a libertarian country on the reefs. Oliver formed a syndicate, the Ocean Life Research Foundation, which had considerable finances for the project and had offices in New York City and London.[6] In 1971, the organization constructed a steel tower on the reef.[6] The Republic of Minerva issued a declaration of independence on 19 January 1972.[7] Morris Davis was elected as the President of Minerva.[8]
However, the islands were also claimed by Tonga. An expedition consisting of 90 prisoners was sent to enforce the claim by building an artificial island with permanent structures above the high-tide mark.[9] Arriving on 18 June 1972, the Flag of the Tonga was raised on the following day on North Minerva and on South Minerva on 21 June 1972.[6][10] King Tufahau Tupou IV announced the annexation of the islands on 26 June; North Minerva was to be renamed Teleki Tokelau, with South Minerva becoming Teleki Tonga.[11] The Tongan claim to the reef was recognized by the South Pacific Forum in September 1972.
In 1982, a group of Americans led again by Morris Davis tried to occupy the reefs, but were forced off by Tongan troops after three weeks.[citation needed] According to Reason, Minerva has been "more or less reclaimed by the sea".[12]
In 2005, Fiji declared that it did not recognize any maritime water claims by Tonga to the Minerva Reefs under the UNCLOS agreements. In November 2005, Fiji lodged a complaint with the International Seabed Authority concerning Tonga's maritime waters claims surrounding Minerva. Tonga lodged a counter claim. In 2010 the Fijian Navy destroyed navigation lights at the entrance to the lagoon. In late May 2011, they again destroyed navigational equipment installed by Tongans. In early June 2011, two Royal Tongan Navy ships were sent to the reef to replace the equipment, and to reassert Tonga's claim to the territory. Fijian Navy ships in the vicinity reportedly withdrew as the Tongans approached.[13][14]
In an effort to settle the dispute, the government of Tonga revealed a proposal in early July 2014 to give the Minerva Reefs to Fiji in exchange for the Lau Group of islands.[15] In a statement to the Tonga Daily News, Lands Minister Lord Maafu Tukuiaulahi announced that he would make the proposal to Fiji's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola. Some Tongans have Lauan ancestors and many Lauans have Tongan ancestors; Tonga's Lands Minister is named after Enele Ma'afu, the Tongan Prince who originally claimed parts of Lau for Tonga.[16]
Area: North Reef diameter about 5.6 kilometres (3.5mi), South Reef diameter of about 4.8 kilometres (3.0mi).Terrain: two (atolls) on dormant volcanic seamounts.
Both Minerva Reefs are about 435 kilometres (270mi) southwest of the Tongatapu Group.The atolls are on a common submarine platform from 549 to 1,097 metres (1,801 to 3,599ft) below the surface of the sea. North Minerva is circular in shape and has a diameter of about 5.6 kilometres (3.5mi). There is a small sand bar around the atoll, awash at high tide, with a small entrance into the flat lagoon with a somewhat deep harbor. South Minerva is parted into The East Reef and the West Reef, both circular with a diameter of about 4.8 kilometres (3.0mi). Remnants of shipwrecks and platforms remain on the atolls, plus functioning navigation beacons.
Geologically, Minerva Reef is of a limestone base formed from uplifted coral formations elevated by now-dormant volcanic activity.
The climate is basically subtropical with a distinct warm period (DecemberApril), during which the temperatures rise above 32C (90F), and a cooler period (MayNovember), with temperatures rarely rising above 27C (80F). The temperature increases from 23C to 27C (74F to 80F), and the annual rainfall is from 170 to 297 centimeters (67117 in.) as one moves from Cardea in the south to the more northerly islands closer to the Equator. The mean daily humidity is 80percent.
Both North and South Minerva Reefs are used as anchorages by private yachts traveling between New Zealand and Tonga or Fiji.[17] North Minerva (Tongan: Teleki Tokelau) offers the more protected anchorage, with a single, easily negotiated, west-facing pass that offers access to the large, calm lagoon with extensive sandy areas. South Minerva (Tongan: Teleki Tonga) is in shape similar to an infinity symbol, with its eastern lobe partially open to the ocean on the northern side.
The reefs have been the site of several shipwrecks. The brig Rosala, was wrecked on the Minerva Reefs on 19 September 1807. After being captured by HMS Cornwallis at the Peruvian port of Ilo on 13 July, the Rosala, 375 tons, was dispatched to Port Jackson with seven men on board under the command of Lieutenant John Garland, master of the Cornwallis. Captain John Piper, Commandant at Norfolk Island, reported the arrival of the shipwrecked crew to Governor William Bligh in Sydney in a letter of 12 October 1807.[18]
On September 9, 1829 a whaling ship from Australia called the Minerva wrecked on the reef.[19][20][21]
On July 7 1962 the Tuaikaepau ('Slow But Sure'), a Tongan vessel on its way to New Zealand, struck the reefs.[22] This 15-metre (49ft) wooden vessel was built in 1902 at the same yard as the Strathcona. The crew and passengers survived by living in the remains of a Japanese freighter. There they remained for three months and several died. Without tools, Captain Tvita Fifita built a small boat using wood recovered from the ship. With this raft, named Malolelei ('Good Day'), he and several others sailed to Fiji in one week.

It's National Condom Awareness Week and practicing safe sex is a must. In the words of Lil Wayne, "safe sex is great sex…better wear a latex". Over the years, different styles and types of condoms have developed like glow in the dark, flavored, textured, warming, edible, etc. However, a new development might change the safe-sex game forever.
Three British teens recently proposed an idea for a new type of condom that will detect sexually transmitted diseases amongst intimate partners. The Washington Post explains:
This proposal won the trio the top prize in the U.K's TeenTech Awards and is currently in the works to become an actual product on the shelves. This new condom could potentially reduce the amount of people getting sexually transmitted infections. It is still unclear on whether the STIs would be detected in just the user's partner or also the user as well. There is also the question of what would happen if the condom came into contact with two or more STDS. Regardless the discovery is still super dope and we commend the kids who came up with the idea, keep innovating!

I live in Atlanta, so it was a short trip when I visited the set of Ride Along on December 5, 2012. A group of reporters and I went down to downtown Atlanta to watch some of the filming and talk to director Tim Story along with some of the cast. Briefly, the film stars Kevin Hart as a fast-talking aspiring police officer who must team up with his girlfriend's brother, a hot-tempered cop (Ice Cube), to prove that he's worthy of being her husband. Hart is one of the hottest comedians working today, and Ice Cube gave one of my favorite comic in recent memory with 21 Jump Street, so it's a good mix, and they talked about their chemistry on-set. We also spoke with director Tim Story (Barbershop) about working with his two comic leads, the script, and making a comedic version of Training Day. Yes, Training Day.
Hit the jump to read about my visit to the set. The film also stars Tika Sumpter, John Leguizamo, Bryan Callen, and Laurence Fishburne.
Before we go any further, here's the trailer:
And here's the official synopsis:
Kevin Hart and Ice Cube lead the lineup in Ride Along, the new film from the director and the producer of the blockbuster comedy Think Like a Man. When a fast-talking guy joins his girlfriend's brother—a hot-tempered cop—to patrol the streets of Atlanta, he gets entangled in the officer's latest case. Now, in order to prove that he deserves his future bride, he must survive the most insane 24 hours of his life.
For the past two years, high-school security guard Ben (Hart) has been trying to show decorated APD detective James (Cube) that he's more than just a video-game junkie who's unworthy of James' sister, Angela (Tika Sumpter). When Ben finally gets accepted into the academy, he thinks he's earned the seasoned policeman's respect and asks for his blessing to marry Angela.
Knowing that a ride along will demonstrate if Ben has what it takes to take care of his sister, James invites him on a shift designed to scare the hell out of the trainee. But when the wild night leads them to the most notorious criminal in the city, James will find that his new partner's rapid-fire mouth is just as dangerous as the bullets speeding at it.
John Leguizamo and Laurence Fishburne join the cast of the action-comedy directed by Tim Story. Ride Along is produced by Will Packer (Think Like a Man), alongside Ice Cube, Matt Alvarez (Barbershop) and Larry Brezner (Good Morning, Vietnam).
Now here's the thing you need to know: I can't really tell you specifically about what I saw. Here's how set visits work: the publicity team coordinates with the production about what would be a good day to bring by a group of journalists. They don't want the journalists getting in the way, and they need a day when the talent would be available to take time out of their busy schedules to do interviews. And sometimes the day that's available is one where what you see would spoil the movie.
We spent the day sitting around a monitor listening to a scene from the climax of the movie, and all I can tell you is that like most cinematic climaxes, it looks intense. In fact, it's shockingly intense for a comedic picture, but perhaps the intensity isn't too surprising when you consider what Story told us about Training Day being one of the film's inspirations:
Well one, there's the way he shot it. We tried to shoot the movie not like a comedy. We wanted to make sure that the stakes and the look was…for lack of a better word, dramatic, but at the same time just made it look real as opposed to a poppy, colorful comedy. Inside of that we knew that we would have these two doing what they do. So when it comes to Training Day I looked at a lot of it and what's great about it is putting somebody in your car and taking them out for the first day there's a certain amount of things that you're going to do that- if you and I went out on a trip I'd start by saying, "Alright, here's what a director does." So there's so much of it that I kind of took from that movie from the look to moments that I know made that movie work. it was such a great movie that I have taken quite a bit from it and just, you know, kind of done my own spin on it. At the same time, we do have a totally different story, but I've taken some of the framing.
Story also went on to say that there's a direct reference to Training Day, but I won't spoil that here.
Speaking to Ice Cube, he was as cool and collected as you'd imagine. He sidled on up to the chair in front of our group, and one of the first things he did was praise his co-star:
He reminds me of a young Eddie Murphy, when Eddie Murphy was sharp as a tack, and witty, and on time. And [Hart] can pull it all off. He can pull off the physical, he can pull off the intellectual, he can pull off the subtle, and it's just cool to work with somebody so good. Not putting anything on the other guys, because Mike Epps is a genius, Witherspoon is incredible, Katt [Williams], are great comedians, even Terry Crews, who's not a traditional comedian, but he's just sharp in that way. But, I think this is everything you wanna see from Kevin Hart. If you've seen his standup, he's a better actor than standup comedian. He can deliver on screen what he delivers on stage, and that's just a great thing.
Ice Cube also talked about the Training Day relationship, but also pointed out Ride Along's similarities to classic films such as Midnight Run and What About Bob? The actor also explained his relationship working with other comedians, letting those comedians do their thing, and more. Click here for the full interview.
Finally, there was Hart, and it's not difficult to see why his career has really taken off. Throughout the day, he swung by during interviews with other cast members and crack some jokes in between takes. But what was impressive was that he was as professional as he was funny. Here's what he had to say about entering this new phase in his career:
HART: There's no adjusting. I feel like whatever you've done in your career, good or bad, it's nothing but preparation for the big events to come. So the reason why I am there's no adjusting is because I'm prepared for the position that I'm in now. I've paid my dues, I've done my work, and now I'm polished to a point where putting me in this position is something that I'm ready for, so I'm not like, "Oh my God, how do I handle it? What do I do? What happens now? Where do I go from here?" You know, this is ultimate goal: to become a leading man and work with A-List actors and do projects where you're looking at twenty to thirty million, or fifty million dollar budgets, and it's literally about you saying to yourself, "The projects need to get better. My body of work needs to get better." And it's knowing what to choose for you. I'm at a point in my career now where I'm choosing projects that can further my career and can take the star level to a completely different atmosphere, so it's more a preparation of project picking than anything. It's not really me preparing and how do I do this, how do I adjust, it's just picking out the right projects that are big and a great vehicle for me.
Click here for more from Hart and his really sharp and insightful answers regarding working on stage versus working in movies, comparing his work here to the work of other comedians in action movies, working with Ice Cube, and more.
Again, I wish I could tell you more, but all I can say is that Ride Along is definitely going to surprise some people, but probably still provide the comfort of what you'd expect from a pairing of Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. From our conversations with Story and Ice Cube, this movie seems to be a way of letting Hart really shine in a lead role, and that's probably a ride worth taking.
Ride Along opens January 17, 2014.

Khosrowshahi was speaking at an investor forum in Tokyo on his first visit to Asia as Uber CEO.
Ride-hailing firms such as Uber see populous Japan as a potentially lucrative market and are pressing regulators to ease stringent rules governing the taxi industry.
Uber has had a long time interest in flying taxis. Back in November, Uber had struck a deal with NASA to develop software for managing "flying taxi" routes in the air along the lines of ride-hailing services it has pioneered on the ground. Around the same time, the ride-hailing firm also announced that it will start its ambitious flying taxi project in Los Angeles in 2020 to deal with the city's traffic problem.

Magic In Her Touch by Kate McLay is a surprisingly good short story. At only 125 pages it is a little less than half the length of a traditional lesbian romance and yet McLay managed a fun little novel that was filled with action, drama and romance.
The story is about Mina Poole and Darby Guerin. Both women are witches from ancient family lines of witches.
Mina is a powerful witch who loathes her father and was only too happy to leave home. The story starts with her returning begrudgingly when her mother sends for her. As it turns out, Mina's mother is hoping to persuade Mina to bind herself to a woman whose family and influence will grow their family prosperity.
Mina reluctantly agrees to a blind date with the woman and instead ends up in a local bar. There she meets a woman who captures her attention with beauty and the use of magic.
Darby isn't a very powerful witch but that doesn't stop her from using her powers to hustle arrogant assholes in pool. When she meets Mina at a bar she forgets all about the arranged marriage that her mother is trying to persuade her into.
Mina and Darby almost spend an unforgettable night together until they are interrupted by a phone call. Little do they know, that call will be the just the beginning of a journey to save two innocent young women.
The Characters
The women are clear and easy to identify from one another. The sub characters are fun and I enjoyed the witty dialogue.
The Writing Style
McLay's mini novel was surprisingly good. It had good pacing; nice character interplay and a description of the way the women made each other feel that was as unique as it was brilliant.
The Pros
It was a good story and an easy read. Magic in her touch is absolutely worth a read.
The Cons
I do not like the cover. It doesn't represent the women or the essence of the story.
The Conclusion
Magic In Her Touch by Kate McLay was a fantastic read. McLay is a talented author with a large imagination. It would be tragic if she didn't turn this story into a series.
Magic In Her Touch is well worth a read and I will be sure to keep a look out for more from this author.
Excerpt from Magic In Her Touch by Kate McLay
The men stepped aside and let a woman approach the table. Her long brown hair was held back in a ponytail, but she blew her bangs out of her eyes rather than pin them back. If not for the clear hostility between the men and that woman, Mina would have assumed that she was on a date with one of them. She wore a tight black dress that was barely long enough to cover her ass when she bent over to take her shot. Mina leaned forward and admired the curve of her legs, grateful for the woman's taste in clothing. She even spotted a high heel.

About the author
Sheena is the founder of The Lesbian Review.
She discovered lesbian fiction when she was 19. Radclyffe and Karin Kallmaker soon became favourite authors and she spent a large part of her hard earned income on shipping books from Amazon.com to her home in South Africa.
Over the years she became frustrated with purchasing mediocre lesbian fiction feeling like it was a waste of her money and time. And so she decided to share only the best books and movies with lesbians who are looking for only the best. And so, The Lesbian Review was born

Hi rodney,
I would like to suggest you a resource which I have come across in the recent times from the web - http://www.meenaakshioverseas.com/ an Apparel sourcing and Manufactures for US and European clients.
Hope you might find this helpful. Good luck for your business.
Re: Where Can I Find A Clothing Manufactuerphanio Jun 18, 2013 4:07 PM (in response to rodney92)
Your problem is that you are looking in the wrong places. Try instead trade or manufacturing associations. Not only can these associations or groups help you with your overall business but since they have a large listing of members - members that you are looking for - they could help you introductions.
Here are a couple to get you started:
SEAMS | The National Association for the Sewn Products Industry
AAFA : The American Apparel & Footwear Association - company profile on Apparel Search
Associations directory for the Apparel and Fashion Industry
Hope this helps.

Atlus has released a new video for their upcoming fighter, The King of Fighters XIII. The gameplay looks pretty good, from what can be seen. What I like the most, though, is the cartoony style. Not that I haven't seen a lot of games with the same style recently, but still… it's looking pretty good.
The King of Fighters XIII releases on November 22 on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Stay tuned for more updates.

The Carolinas have been strong in baseball and softball for a long time, both in producing talent and fielding strong teams.
On the club side, the Lady Lightning have had Top 10 finishes at major tourneys nationwide and have played talented players at Power 5 schools in conferences like the ACC and SEC as have programs like the Carolina Elite and the Carolina Cardinals.
Another club that is showing promise is Gary Simpson's Bandits-North Carolina organization which has teams based in both North and South Carolina and has finished high in showcases and tourneys in the 14U, 16U and 18U levels.
Just this week, the 18U team was listed as being ranked No. 50 by US Club Rankings, prompting Simpson to say, "I'm really excited for my program and the progress we've made this year. I'm sure you're up on the (US Club) rankings but I was so excited. Our 14U didn't compete in the rankings events and the 18U only competed in one so next year I'm hoping for a higher rank since we are looking to do more as we continue to grow."
Krista Crawford, Event Director for Triple Sports which runs big events like TC/USA Nationals and Zoom Into June, said of the Bandits: "This is a great organization with great people; the team is full of girls who are well coached and hard workers. You can tell they spend a lot of time on development of their kids."
It's always fun to learn the origin and see the growth of a program and we asked Simpson, who's the Bandits Director as well as one of its coaches, about the past, present and future of the organization which has produced more than two dozen college signed or committed players since starting 11 years ago.
Here's a closer look at this rising program and what makes it tick!
