The Nature Trust of BC's mandate is to:
- Acquire habitats of high biodiversity values and at greatest risk of being lost; and
- Manage conservation lands as part of landscapes to ensure ecosystem resilience and connectivity.
Approximately 6% of the land base in British Columbia is privately owned. However as illustrated through the findings in Taking Nature's Pulse: The Status of Biodiversity in British Columbia there is a disproportionate number of species and ecosystems at risk in the low elevation areas like valley bottoms and coastal lowlands where most of the private land is located.
This is where The Nature Trust plays a significant role to acquire and manage private land for conservation. The most effective way this is done is through partnerships with other conservation organizations and various levels of government to try and put together land assemblages to secure functioning ecosystems and ecological processes.

Amazon Sales Tax Goes Into Effect Today, Here's What That Means For Floridians
photo via Stephen Woods' Flickr | CC2.0
If you're an Amazon junkie living in Florida, your addiction just got pricier.
Today Amazon began charging Sunshine State residents sales tax for the first time since the internet retail giant initially took over the series of tubes.
In other words, the price of that 55-gallon drum of sex lube you've been coveting just jumped by $86.
See also: Amazon Will Start Charging Florida Sales Tax May 1
For the past decade, Floridians didn't have to pay the state's six percent sales tax on items purchased off of Amazon. That was because Florida law stated that if a company doesn't have a physical store in the state, it doesn't have to charge sales tax for online purchases.
Now, however, Amazon has announced plans to build a shipping center in Ruskin, Florida, near Tampa. That means you'll get your 55 gallons of lube faster, but it'll be a bit pricier.
The new tax is expected to generate $80-90 million per year for the state. The Ruskin shipping center will create jobs, of course. Meanwhile, many local store owners believe the tax levels the playing field, making their businesses instantly more competitive.
Here are a few totally random examples of how the new tax might affect your home-purchasing habits.

The next media disruption tool: Predictive analytics
Yeah, sure — Big Data. We get it, right?
We all know that the digital age is producing huge amounts of data about consumers and their behavior. And, sure, we know that anybody who's in the marketing and advertising business — like local media companies — needs to get good at it. Right?
Not that we've quite learned how to do it yet. But surely we know — don't we? — that we simply must master it to benefit both ourselves and our customers? And we're working on it, right?
Well, I am. I hope you are, too.
Why? Because somebody is going to bring Big Data to Main Street. If it's not us, Big Data will be the next big wave of disruption in our advertising and marketing business. It's guaranteed to whittle down our local media ad revenues still further. Read the rest of this entry
Can local media find a new home in real estate?
Ah, real estate. It used to be such a wonderfully profitable sweet spot for newspapers, back in the dear, now-dead days before the Web. And now it's just a shadow of its former self.
The real estate business itself is doing okay these days, although it always has its ups and downs. It's print real estate advertising in newspapers that's been deeply and permanently disrupted.
The question I'm trying to answer these days is, isn't there another model through which local media companies can play key roles in the real estate market? Read the rest of this entry
Is the events business right for media companies?
Many local media companies are viewing events as a great way to bring in new revenues and support the future of journalism.
And the industry has seen some notable successes. Jason Taylor's energetic advocacy has lit up many a convention stage since he started as president of the Chattanooga Time Free Press in 2007. And Brent Low, CEO of Utah Media Group in Salt Lake City, has made events a cornerstone of his diversified revenue model since he was publisher in St. George, Utah, more than a decade ago. Read the rest of this entry
Local media need to think bigger about the Big Data opportunity
Data, data, data. From every direction lately, I'm being hit with urgent reminders about the imperative for local media companies to master data.
Every day, I'm more convinced: This is the next wave of threat — or opportunity — for local media companies. That's how disruptive innovation works — you either grab the opportunity, or you are overrun by it.
As Big Data marches down upon us, I'm reminded of Longfellow's poem, "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." It tells how, on the eve of the American Revolution, patriots gave warning of the British Army's advance by hanging lanterns in the belfry of Boston's Old North Church:
"One if by land, two if by sea."
I'm hanging out three lanterns. Big Data is bearing down on us right now — by land, by sea and from every other direction. Read the rest of this entry
10 years later: Seven disruption lessons from Newspaper Next
In the fall of 2006, as the Internet was devastating the newspaper industry in earnest, the American Press Institute unveiled a new program to push back against the disruption.
We called the project Newspaper Next, and its first report was called Blueprint for Transformation.
Ten years later, what did it accomplish? And what should we still remember from that body of work? Read the rest of this entry
Lead generation: Reframing the future of advertising
In the last several weeks, my whole concept of advertising and marketing has been reframed, and I'm still sorting out what it means. But I know this: It has given me a clearer understanding of the path local media companies must take in sales.
Now I'm going to try to work the same kind of reframing on you.
Reframing is what happens when some new fact, or a new interpretation of old facts, reveals a subject in a very different light. It's often a breakthrough that clarifies your priorities and shows you new ways to overcome your challenges.
And in advertising and marketing, we have more than our share of challenges. Print and broadcast media have been struggling for years to assimilate a bewildering array of new tactics.
The list includes buzz terms like SEM, SEO, targeting, retargeting, social media, video, reputation management, email, native advertising, content marketing, Big Data, programmatic advertising and more. And new ones show up all the time.
Thought experiments can put us ahead of the media disruption curve
Let's try some thought experiments, in the best tradition of Albert Einstein.
The hypothesis we'll explore is this: That the large, lucrative revenue stream that newspaper companies have enjoyed from major/national advertisers will decline to something approaching zero.
Our thought experiments will examine what we should do about that. Read the rest of this entry
See Big Data and glimpse the future of advertising
I've been getting a series of demos from Big Data providers as we at Morris Publishing Group work to figure out how we will offer Big Data services to local advertisers.
Just lately, we've been getting down into the details. For me, this brought a profound leap in comprehension.
It was like staring into a crystal ball and seeing a monumental event that's about to change your life. Read the rest of this entry
Take a disruption lesson from Procter & Gamble
What could disrupted legacy media companies possibly have in common with Procter & Gamble — the huge and perennially successful consumer goods manufacturer?
One thing we have in common is that we both need to recognize and plan for the continuous loss of revenue from declining products.
We don't think of P&G as needing to cope with fading products as an endemic part of its business. But 10 years ago, when I was leading the Newspaper Next project for the American Press Institute, I learned that part of their success lies in the careful planning they do to offset those declines.
We in the media business can take an important lesson from P&G's approach. Read the rest of this entry
How legacy media reps can — and must — sell more digital
How can we sell more digital? In traditional media, that question has been pounding us for years.
It's in our heads, in our meetings, in our training, in our budgeting. Few of us are growing our digital revenues at rates anywhere near the growth rate of digital spending.
And one of the toughest challenges has been getting our core sales reps to present digital advertising and marketing solutions effectively to their existing customers.

Stupid alcohol!!!Mature
After recieving praise for my other story With Thanks to Dave I decided to write another because i'm off of school. Stupid cold. I'm straight but am enjoying writing from a different perspective so maybe i'll do more of these :) Enjoy please rate comment.
Damn that stupid, monstrous alcohol! What is it about me that make me the only one I've ever met who reacts to alcohol like the world's most powerful truth serum? Why is it that from the moment the first drop touches my lips I am completely and utterly unable to lie. I don't react in any other ways; I can walk in a straight-line until the 10th drink, talk normally and remember everything the next day. I am just unable to lie.
So naturally when I went around to a friend's house for a birthday sleepover you'd think I'd be careful. No, there I was having a cider. Stupid damned cider. And then, predictably I know, the others decided a game of truth or dare was apt.
So we all sat in a circle. I chose dare for the first few turns, being forced to hop up and down for 5 minutes, take of my top for the rest of the game and kiss one of the three girls there. The logic behind this was that when the dares got more hazardous to reputation or indeed general life I wouldn't be mocked for picking truth. And of course the dares got worse, one guy was forced to strip to his underwear for the rest of the night and another was forced to expose a personal part of his anatomy for a minute. Predictable stuff but still.
So when my turn came I picked truth and the slightly more drunk guy asking the majority of the questions mumbled out "Ok Luke, Who, who, who u fanzi?????????"
Shit. There were eight of us in our little gang, three girls and five guys. We were all in the same lessons and were a big group which gave us all a boost in the leviathan of the school social status system.
This question could be answered truthfully by practically anyone else; they could tell the truth, lie or say 'No one'. But not me. Stupid damned cider! We were all 15 and I had known for some years that I was bi, but hadn't told anyone. I'd fancied girls and boys before but had never acted on the guys before. It was just my luck that at the point when that question was asked my thoughts had been lingering of the guy sat beside me for the last few weeks.
His name was Paul, six foot two and a stunning body. Blonde hair and light, ocean blue eyes. He had a lean body that hinted tastily at firm muscles underneath. In other words he didn't have the six pack but had the line hinting at it. He too had been forced topless and I had glanced once or twice guiltily at his smooth hairless body.
Tu, short for tulip, snorted into her Kronenburg "Don't be silly it's obvious he fancies Paul, haven't you seen his eyes tonight. Like magnets to Paul's chest."
The others laughed as I furiously fought of the alcohol induced blush. Stupid alcohol. "Serious?" one of the girls asked "You fancy Paul Luke?"
Ah, a direct question. Bugger. I managed to fight the urge to say yes long enough to grunt. The others laughed again and there was a chorus of "Well that's a yes!" Paul had gone beetroot red and we were studiously avoiding looking at each other. Luckily the alcohol made the group move on to other stuff fairly quickly and I avoided any more embarrassment.
I was walking home around eleven the next day, it was quite sunny. Something was wrong with the nice day though. Something, a noise. I looked behind me. Footsteps? I looked around but seeing nothing carried on my walk home. Then I was rugby tackled into a bush. There were four bushed in a square on the lusciously green lawn. It was your stereotypical perfect street. Big, white houses. White fences. Like a scene from desperate housewife's.
I was practically thrown into the bushed, forced through to the small square in the middle. I had a glimpse of blonde hair before someone's lips were sucking my face off. I could guess it was a male and the feel of their weight on top of me with their knee between my legs felt perfect. The snog was fierce and passionate but sweet and soft at the same time.
We broke apart and I stuttered out "Paul?" All I got was a shush. I don't know how long we lay there kissing before Paul stood up grinned and left.
We've been together for a year and a half now and most people now. There are always ignorant people but we brush them off. The rest of our group paired off, me and Paul and the three other guys and the three other girls had all paired as well.
God I love alcohol!

Go to eBay since you only need a few, look for Rubycon 1000uf 16v.
Thanks, I found a lot of 10 for sale very cheaply, so I'll have plenty of spares.
Another question popped into my head...does this capacitor have polarity? If so, how do you determine which lead is which? EDIT: I figured out my polarity question, but still another has arisen...the old capacitor's specs are not printed, they are pressed into the cover in extremely small characters, so I missed a line of data, even though I used my magnifying lamp to examine it the first time. This line is 034B, which if I understand, the B indicates a tolerance of .10 percent, but the ad for the capacitors that I ordered said nothing about a tolerance: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161206092044?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Obviously, a proper match is desirable, but how critical is it?
I got a reply from the seller of the caps regarding their tolerance: But as far as I can see, the old capacitor doesn't have the letters YK on it, and the explanations on the link above, doesn't speak of it as having anything to do with tolerance as the seller suggested...in fact it doesn't say anything about them, even though they appear in some of the pictures. The readings that he obtained from the samples does seem to support that their tolerance is ~20%, but how can I verify that tolerance is acceptable?
I wouldn't worry about 20% so much, if above that then yes. Caps usually have a 10% to 20% tolerance.
Good, then I won't need to order some others. The next challenge for me is to solder them to the board. I always feel as though I need three hands.
it shouldn't be too hard, you will want to remove the board completely and have something hold it while you desolder then solder then new one(s) in place.
The only thing I have to hold it is a Panavice, but I don't have a circuit board attachment for it. I do have the rubber jaws, which might work, if I can find an area I can clamp to without damaging the board.
I believe that I succeeded in soldering the capacitor, but that leaves one problem that I'm struggling with. The little wire that I broke off from the connector on the LCD itself. The connector is a small 3 pin connector, that only the two outer pins are used, one with a red wire and the other with white. It is the white wire that is broken. I pulled the broken piece out of the connector, and as far as I can tell, no solder was used. I think it is one in which the wire is supposed to only be pushed in and caught by an internal locking device. The problem is that I can't seem to even start the wire into the hole, even though I stripped a small length of the insulation. I even tried by using needle nose pliers, so that I could grip the wire up close, but it still bends before going in. Is there a trick to making this work?
Does the connectors solder pins come out the back side of the PCB?
No. The connector is on the wire itself, kind of like a fan connector, only thinner and wider.
Can you provide a picture?
Like I said before, I would but every time I try, all I get is a blurry overexposed shot, which I don't think would help. I wish this were some kind of standard connector that I'm familiar with, so I could just buy another, but it isn't, and I don't know what to call it to do a Google.
Most connectors do adhere to some kind of standard however without seeing it....
I have yet to find a picture of the portion of the connector that fits on the cable, but the picture below shows where they fit...the two white connectors on the left edge of the board: I don't imagine that is enough to indicate what is needed though.
I doubt that it will help any, but since...thanks to Badrobot, I now have a camera that works pretty well for the purpose, and I wanted to try it out, here is a shot of the connector with the broken wire: I just need to know what to call it, so I might be able to Google a replacement...preferably one with the wires already soldered in place.

Blue Shark Headed to European Basketball
Blue Sharks swingman Xavier Owens had a brief but very productive two months as a member of the Blue Sharks. During that time, he participated in weekly scrimmages, team meetings, and was an important part of the MLK Tournament Championship. Owens can effectively defend tall guards and small power forwards, and, with his ball handling ability, he creates scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. Coach Rojas commented "Xavier's ability to play several positions is an asset for any coach. He is very coachable and knows how to communicate with the coaching staff. These personal skills along with his basketball IQ will help him succeed in his basketball journey." Owens will soon travel to Hungary to play in their professional league.

Blue Sharks Win MLK Tourney
In 2016, the Blue Sharks reached the MLK Tournament Championship game only to fall short by four points. This year, Coach Brown had his team ready to play right out of the gate. Throughout the tournament, the Blue Sharks had wins with less than one second on the clock and two outstanding games against a very smart and capable Polk team. In the championship game, the Blue Sharks came out on top against Polk 60 – 56.
Blue Sharks Head Coach Jon Brown said after the contest, "We were focused and determined to play both ends of the floor. Polk was a difficult opponent with experienced players. I think our bench made the difference - we just wore them out." The Blue Sharks is the developmental team of the Tampa Bay Rebels. The purpose of the Blue Sharks is to give more players the opportunity to learn and play at a high level. Rebels GM Fernando Rojas commented after the contest, "This is the Blue Sharks second year of operation, and the team did a great job over the weekend finishing the tournament undefeated with a 5 – 0 record. This group has a very positive chemistry mix, and they enjoy playing as a team. Coach Brown, in particular, did a great job managing the roster throughout the entire tournament."

Davis Continues Basketball Journey
In August 2016, former Tampa Bay Rebels Brandon Davis continued his basketball journey when he was hired by the Echague Club in Argentina. After playing for the Rebels in 2014, Davis went to Mexico and led the league in scoring that season before moving on to Venezuela and Argentina. "Brandon is playing the best basketball of his career. His game has evolved, and, in my opinion, he is ready to play in the Euroleague. We are proud of his success," stated Rebels owner and head coach Fernando Rojas.

Blue Sharks Prepare for 2017
The Blue Sharks held their annual tryout at The Clinic in Tampa on Saturday December 3rd. When asked about the tryout, Coach John Brown said, "The tryout brought a young point guard and a very interesting prospect that could play in the wing for us. These new guys will have priority over the players that missed out on the opportunity and will complement the existing roster. We are going to participate in the MLK Tournament in January, which will give us a chance to look at the new roster for 2017."

Rebels Recap 2016
With 2016 drawing to a close, we sat down with Fernando Rojas, the owner and Head Coach of the Tampa Bay Rebels, to discuss the events of the past year and the outlook heading into 2017.
What was the high point of 2016?
Our developmental program produced its first export player, and, as a team, we played more games than the year before. This level of activity made the developmental program better and stronger. Another important aspect in 2016 was the fact that we found a training facility that we can call home. The Clinic in Tampa fits our needs perfectly.
Your summer program will be in its third year of operation. What is next?
Our spring and summer program is growing and moving in the right direction. During our second season, we saw better talent joining the Blue Sharks. Still, for some players, weekly practices and basic organization was difficult to manage. We have a good roster for next year, and we are planning on adding new talent.
Are the Tampa Bay Rebels closer to joining a professional league?
The decision to join a league in the summer will be carefully considered. We want to be part of an organization that is based on professionalism and intelligent leadership. There are some options that we are currently looking into.
What about the low points this year?
Lack of commitment seems to be the biggest obstacle. Many good players miss out on the opportunity because they do not want to practice; they just want to play on the weekends. We are not a recreational basketball organization, and commitment is key.
What are your plans for 2017?
We want to increase the number of games we play in the city as well as against out of state competition. We will be looking for the next player that we can send overseas.

Rojas Connects With International Clubs
Mexico's LNBP, the top professional basketball league south of the border, just kicked off the 2016-17 season in early October. Coach Rojas was invited to attend the series between Correcaminos and Abejas. "Coach Garcia from Correcaminos invited me to spend some time with his club; it was a great opportunity to see the inner workings of his team. I also spent quality time with Rodrigo, Director of Basketball Operations of the Abejas de Leon club, and even had the opportunity to chat with former NBA player Horacio Llamas. The league has fewer teams this year, but the level of play is considerably higher than years past. Only the best talent will make it in this league. They know some of our former players did a good job for their clubs, and they told me that they would like to see more players from Tampa heading their way."
For those who are interested in pursuing a career in professional basketball or building upon previous professional experience, the Tampa Bay Rebels developmental team, the Blue Sharks, will be holding a tryout from 11am-2pm on Saturday, December 3rd at The Clinic which is located at 9511 N Trask Street Unit B in Tampa. The tryout fee for each player is $200.

Tyshawn Edwards Inks International Contract
Blue Sharks MVP and member of the Tampa Bay Rebels Tyshawn Edwards has been signed by Correcaminos Victoria of the LNBP, the top professional league in Mexico. Edwards, a high-energy 6'4" athletic guard that has the ability to play the 2 and 3 positions at the FIBA level, scored 36 points against the SC Redhawks in his last game as a Rebel.
Edwards played for the Rebels' developmental team, the Blue Sharks, for a period of nine months during in which the team competed in local tournaments and leagues. The Blue Sharks program is designed for players interested in developing their game within an organized environment. Tyshawn saw the program as an opportunity to bring discipline to his personal life and develop his game. Edwards said, "I love the game of basketball, but I did not want to spend my best years playing weekend tournaments with my friends. On December 19th 2015, I attended Coach Rojas tryout, and I will never forget that day. He gave me confidence and treated me in a very professional way. I made the team and decided to stick with the program. Six months later, he told me that if I kept practicing, he would contact foreign teams on my behalf. I received my first international contract shortly after. Coach has personal relationships with overseas teams, and spends time training players like me."
In the last nine months Edwards' game has become stronger on both ends of the floor. Coach Rojas commented, "Ty is a success story in more ways than one. First off, he made a very personal decision to improve himself. He joined our developmental team, and, for nine consecutive months, he showed his dedication to getting better, and he did. I enjoyed coaching a player that respects the game and the people who supported him. We have already scheduled another tryout in December to keep searching for more talent. The system works for the player with the right skillset and attitude."

Former Rebel Katuka Helps with NBA's Basketball Without Borders
Former Tampa Bay Rebel Joe Katuka recently visited Africa while supporting the NBA's Basketball Without Borders program. Katuka was a member of the 2014 Tampa Bay Rebels roster that reached the FBA championship game. "I met Joe thanks to Greg Kite, a former NBA Champion. Joe did a great job for us in the 2014 season. His inside game and ability to finish with both hands was a fundamental factor in our team reaching the championship game. He had a great high school and college career, and will be able to share with the African youth everything that he has learned. I cannot think of a better fit for the Basketball Without Borders program than Joe. We are glad to see him succeed," Coach Rojas commented.

Edwards Named Blue Sharks 2016 MVP
The Blue Sharks have finished their 2016 activities with an overall record of 15 – 10. Early in the year, the Blue Sharks reached the championship game in the MLK tournament. The team later finished as the runner up in the Tampa Bay Sports Club league, and will look to carry some of that momentum into the 2017 calendar year.
Each year, the Blue Sharks name an MVP which has been chosen by the players. This year, the players selected 6'4" guard Tyshawn Edwards as the 2016 Blue Sharks MVP. Edwards attended the first Blue Sharks tryout in December 2015 and made the team. Since then, he has participated in every single practice and game for nine consecutive months. Coach Rojas commented on Ty's MVP year, "We know that most players focus their efforts on playing. Ty was committed to practice and learning more about the game, and enjoyed being part of a serious organization. After nine months of hard work, he transformed himself from a weekend player into a professional athlete capable of playing at FIBA level. His hard work set a high standard for future players interested in joining the team. His skill set is very evident to the naked eye, but, in my opinion, his best asset is his work ethic. He represents the core purpose of the Blue Sharks."

Tampa Bay Export Basketball Players
The focus of the Tampa Bay Rebels organization is to mold and develop players for the international market where they can help foreign clubs as "export" players. While the number of openings for export players varies across countries and leagues, the expectation placed upon these players to perform in a professional manner both on and off the court remains high across the board. This summer, we have several players with the skill to play abroad. They have invested months into our program, improving their game and getting advice on what to expect when playing overseas.
Over the past ten years, the list of players that have received their first international contract right after playing or touring with the Rebels has continually grown to include the following players: Brandon Davis (Lamar University), Marlyn Bryant (USF), Dajan Smith (Lynn University), Mark Borders (University of Tampa), Terrence Gamble (Tarleton State), Fred Woods (University of Tampa), Jarvis Gunter (NBA D-League), Spenser Mitchell (St. Leo), Marcus Morrison (Middle Tennessee State), Rick Catala (Miami), Tyrone Hayes (University of Idaho), Jarrell Kelley (Fort Myers), Joshua Perry (Jacksonville State), and LaTraven Henry (Orlando).
This talented group of former Tampa Bay Rebels started their international career in countries such as Mexico, Portugal, China, Dominican Republic and Ireland. Most of these athletes went on to play in Brazil, Uruguay, Mongolia, and Spain. Coach Rojas commented "A high percentage of these guys were hired by other clubs after their rookie season, and that speaks highly of our organization. Many players can be hired once but only the most capable will be able to build a long term career."

Blue Sharks Continue Growth
The Blue Sharks developmental program continues to grow as new players are joining the team's practices and games. Recently, the team contracted with a centrally located practice facility in Tampa allowing players the opportunity to join the team without traveling larger distances. The team is holding practices every Monday and Wednesday night at 8 pm.
Tampa Bay Rebels GM Fernando Rojas commented, "Having a practice facility that fits our needs will help the program significantly. We are building something positive for basketball athletes, but also adding something beneficial for the community. We extend an open invitation to all payers 18 years of age and older to join the Blue Sharks."

Former Rebels Excel in LNBP
This year, the Tampa Bay Rebels celebrate our 10th anniversary as a basketball organization, and we couldn't plan a better celebration than having two of our best former players reach the top of their profession. Brandon Davis finished the LNBP regular season as the league's leading scorer with an average of 25.7 points per game in forty games. He also took his team, Correcaminos (Roadrunners), to the playoffs for the first time in three years. Veteran point guard Mark Borders finished the season as the LNBP's assists leader with 7.9 assists per game. Borders also led the LNBP in assists during his rookie season in 2007.
"I remember when I recruited Mark after his college career at the University of Tampa. At the time, we were the Tampa Bay Sharks. We traveled abroad, and, after playing two games, he was signed by Santos de San Luis. Later on, he went to Brazil for four years and then came back to Mexico to become the assist leader this year," Coach Rojas commented. He added "Two years ago, I went to Jacksonville to watch a minor league basketball game. I saw Brandon's shooting capability and two things were clear: his NBA range and ease of release. He is a natural shooter with the size and defensive skills to successfully play international basketball. At the time, I do not think he was fully aware of his potential. He played for the Rebels in 2014 and set a single game scoring record in the FBA of 42 points including 12 three point shots. He was the Rebels MVP that year, and shortly after, for the first time, he signed his first international contract."
Coach Rojas continued, "We are elated to celebrate ten years of promoting basketball in Tampa and, at the same time, recognizing the success of two smart players. Mark Borders and Brandon Davis are two outstanding athletes who appreciate the opportunities given to them. I have no doubt that they will continue climbing the ladder of success in their personal lives and basketball careers."

Former Rebel Signed in Europe
Former Tampa Bay Rebel's forward Spenser Mitchell was recently signed by Club Deportivo Estela Santander of Spain's EBA. Mitchell is averaging 9.6 points and 8.0 rebounds during his time with Estela and has helped the team reach a record of 12-3. This is Mitchell's second tour of duty in Europe as he previously played for Travelodge Swords Thunder in Ireland during the 2014-2015 season. Mitchell now joins a select group of former Tampa Bay Rebels who started their professional career in Tampa and continue to play internationally. Rebels Coach Fernando Rojas commented, "Spenser is a hard working player that will make the Estela front court better. His work ethic and team-oriented attitude is second to none, and we are glad to see him succeed at the next level."

Rebels Celebrate 10 Years
This year, the Tampa Bay Rebels will reach a milestone in minor league basketball. In the summer of 2006, under the name Tampa Bay Sharks, the club started operations by winning the championship in the Bay Pro-Am tournament. That year, the team traveled to Argentina and Mexico where, for the first time, some of our best players were signed by international clubs. In 2011, we changed the name to Tampa Bay Rebels and co-founded the Florida Basketball Association. The newly formed Tampa Bay Rebels won the 2012 FBA Championship and reached the finals for three consecutive years. We continued our international travel in 2011 by accepting an invitation to play in Cancun and also returned to Mexico for a three games series against professional teams in October of 2015.
Many great players have worn the Rebels jersey. The list of athletes includes NBA veterans, D-League players, NCAA National Champions, Sunshine State Conference player of the year, and ABA champions. Throughout the years, the coaching staff has also been a place of professional development for young coaches and sport managers.
We sincerely thank all the players who have, in the last ten years, worn the Sharks and Rebels jersey for their hard work, time, and dedication. Our wining culture and respect for the game is the result of their positive attitude and professionalism. We thank all past and present members of the coaching staff for their valuable insight and attention to detail. In particular, we would like to say "thank you" to a talented group of volunteers and supporters for sharing the dream and helping the Tampa Bay Rebels to become a one of a kind basketball organization.

Blue Sharks Start Strong in 2016
The Blue Sharks kicked off the year by participating in the first edition of the MLK Classic weekend tournament in Tampa. A new group of players, along with some returning faces such as Kevin Foster and Don Thomas, played exceptionally well and compiled a 5-2 record during the weekend. In one of the Sunday games, Blue Sharks 2015 MVP Don Thomas scored from half court sending the game to overtime and leading to a win in the semifinal contest. In the championship game, however, the Blue Sharks fell to the Bay Area Squad 65-70.
Coach Rojas commented, "Coach Brown did a great job getting the most out of a group that played together for the first time. We are in the process of building a new, competitive team that can gather interest from foreign clubs. We still have some open spots, and we will continue looking for more players to complete the roster that will be traveling in the spring and summer."

2015 Rebels Recap
As 2015 draws to a close, we wanted to take a few minutes to talk with Tampa Bay Rebels owner and head coach, Fernando Rojas, and discuss all that has happened over the past 12 months. Here is a recap of our recent Q & A session with Coach Rojas:
What would you consider the high point of 2015?
For the second year in a row we were able to help one of our own players getting a full time job. Jonathan Brown is now working as a full time employee for a marketing survey company in Oldsmar. He is also the Head Coach of the Blue Sharks. Our main business is basketball but we will always support athletes willing to improve their own lives. The other success story is about Don Thomas who joined the Blue Sharks in July. He made the Rebels team that toured Mexico in October, and, after playing well against professional teams, he was invited to stay and practice with the local team.
This year you started the Blue Sharks, why?
The purpose of the Blue Sharks is to give more players the opportunity to display their basketball skills. Many local athletes want more than just playing with their friends on weekends. We open the door for quality players willing to invest the time to further their basketball careers. The system works for the right player, we look forward to keep launching new careers.
You have been doing this for a while, what are the pros and cons of minor league basketball?
The game of basketball is a great sport when the spirit of the game is understood. The game itself can provide opportunities and experiences that otherwise would not be available for most young people. Minor league sports provide a particularly important service to the community, affordable ticket pricing is one of them, but also real interaction between fans and players is something you do not see in mainstream sports. The downside is that too many times we see the game tainted by narrow minded concepts of respect and manhood. Some players forget that a real man pays his bills on time and spends time with his children. Dunking only means you can dunk.
Are you going to join any of the Florida leagues in 2016?
We are very interested in having the Rebels or Blue Sharks join one of the summer leagues in the State. There are several options out there we just need to figure out which one fits our budget and basketball goals.
You mentioned the high points of the year, what about the low points?
It is always disheartening to see young men wasting opportunities giving to them. Being part of an organized team is a great experience. However, instant gratification seems to be the biggest obstacle for young athletes.
What are your plans for 2016?
We have games outside Florida, tournaments in Tampa throughout the year, and exhibition games in Central and South Florida. The main plan is always the same: find and develop new talent.

Rebels, Blue Sharks Announce Affiliation With International League
The Tampa Bay Rebels and their developmental team, the Blue Sharks, are excited to announce an affiliation with a Division 2 professional league in Mexico. The relationship with the Mexican league will allow for increased opportunities for players to earn jobs at the international level.
"We have had a great deal of success in helping players get their start in international basketball over the last 9 years, most recently with Blue Sharks MVP Don Thomas during the Rebels recent international tour," stated Andrew Phillips, the Director of Scouting for the Rebels. "This new agreement, which is only possible because of the personal relationships that Coach Rojas has built over the years, will allow us an opportunity to provide a platform for even more players to start their careers. The second division is an ideal spot for talented players who have limited professional basketball resumes to this point in their careers, which are the same type of players who find success with the Blue Sharks."
Interested players should attend the Blue Sharks tryout on December 19th. The tryout will be held from 11am – 2pm at the Police Athletic League (PAL) gymnasium located at 1924 W. Diana Street in Tampa, Florida. The cost for the tryout is $200 and must be paid in cash at the door.

Rebels Impact Felt in LNBP
This year, the LNBP, the top league in Mexico, is featuring two players with ties to Florida that share the same beginning in professional basketball. Point guard Mark Borders and small forward Brandon Davis played for Coach Rojas in 2007 and 2014, respectively. "We have launched the career of many good players throughout the years. Mark and Brandon are the two best examples of what we do. After starting his career in Mexico, then having four successful seasons in Brazil, Mark is now a savvy veteran point guard. Brandon is starting his second year in the LNBP and continues to develop into a true professional. Brandon's future is very bright. We are proud of their accomplishments and thankful for the opportunity to coach two outstanding athletes and good young men," Rebels Coach Fernando Rojas commented.

Thomas Garners Attention Following Tour
Following a successful season with the Blue Sharks, 6'2" point guard Don Thomas was selected to travel with the Tampa Bay Rebels to Mexico for a three game exhibition tour against professional teams from the top Mexican league. After averaging 13.3 points, 2 steals, and 6 assists, the local club Panteras de Aguascalientes invited Thomas to stay and practice with the team during the preseason. "We do not know if the invitation will turn into a contract this year, however, he played well enough on both ends of the court to get the attention of the local coaching staff," Coach Rojas commented. He added, "Don is a success story. He is the first player coming out of our developmental system that gets one step closer to playing international basketball."

Emerging markets have long been the domain of investors willing to take risks. But in a reversal of fortunes brought on by the crises in Europe and the United States, they are now being sold as bastions of safety and stability.
It is the latest sign of how the world has been turned upside down by the sovereign debt problems in Europe and a slumping U.S. economy that is showing few signs of rebounding.
Asset managers are increasingly turning to countries throughout Asia and South America – not for high growth, as they would have a decade ago, but as a source of steady, predictable returns. Lack of clarity in some of the world's most developed economies has made those markets too unpredictable.
"Where they are turning is the place in the world where balance sheets are still safe. And that's largely emerging markets," said Mark Poole, chief investment officer at U.K.-based Blue Bay Asset Management.
Mr. Poole said the firm has found itself increasingly advising its most conservative clients to bulk up their emerging-market holdings at a time of comparative upheaval elsewhere.
"It's a dramatic transformation of everything that investors have been assuming for the last 20 or 30 years," Mr. Poole said.
More than just stocking up on government bonds, Blue Bay, which is owned by RBC Asset Management Inc., is advising ultra-conservative clients such as pension funds and other institutional investors that buying corporate debt in some burgeoning markets will provide a more attractive haven – and more dependable returns – than in developed countries where they would traditionally park their funds.
Countries like Brazil, which were once on shaky political ground, have unexpectedly blossomed into stable incubators for growth, while countries like China are enjoying low debt at a time when much of the world is perilously leveraged, which will feed its growth.
With sounder credit metrics and attractive spreads compared to U.S. Treasuries, countries like Indonesia, Brazil and Russia are increasingly getting attention from conservative asset managers.
Countries with lower debt compared to their gross domestic product are seen as having better prospects for growth, rather than being consigned to belt-tightening. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, China has a remarkably low debt-to-GDP ratio of 19 per cent, along with Indonesia (27 per cent) and South Korea (32 per cent).
Brazil's ratio sits at 67 per cent, while India is at slightly less than 72 per cent. While not low, both of those countries are below Canada at 82 per cent and the United States at 93 per cent. Russia is carrying unusually low debt, at 11 per cent, but part of that is a function of its default more than a decade ago.
Paul Mesburis at Excel Funds Management Inc. has seen a similar trend in terms of emerging markets providing more stability. The Mississauga-based asset manager specializes in emerging-market investments. Its India investment fund has returned 287 per cent over the past decade, more than double what the benchmark TSX index has returned, he said.
His firm is attracted to markets in China, India and Latin America. It's particularly keen on Brazil, where the country's Bovespa index is up 7 per cent in the past year compared to the S&P 500, which is flat, and the S&P/TSX index, which has returned around 1 per cent in that time.
Peru's benchmark index is up more than 24 per cent, while Chile's has risen 18 per cent. Beyond South America, the Taiwan Taiex index is up 13 per cent while Russia's benchmark index has risen 12 per cent, and the Shanghai composite has gained just over 10 per cent.
Conservative investors have always had valid reasons for not venturing into up-and-coming markets, from worries about political and economic instability to high sovereign debt levels and concerns over weak regulatory oversight, such as the accounting scandals that have engulfed Chinese companies like Sino-Forest. And emerging markets in Eastern Europe are being looked upon with some concern due to fears about the possible contagion from a default in Greece.
"We're staying away from some of the smaller more illiquid markets – parts of Africa for example, where we don't believe the capital markets have evolved sufficiently," Mr. Mesburis said. Excel is cautious on Mexico right now though, mostly because of anxiety surrounding the U.S.
"Is the U.S. set up for low growth? Without a doubt. We believe Mexico will suffer as a result."
Asset managers are spending a lot of time these days figuring out what this new world order means in terms of where to put money.
"We have this debate every day: What's an emerging market?" Mr. Poole said. "Some of the emerging countries we invest in are double-A-rated these days and possess much stronger dynamics than the developed world. And given the trajectory of economic performance and of credit metrics, what is an emerging market and what is a developed market is becoming less clear."Report Typo/Error

Sanford care going way downhill
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 11, 2016POSTED: Friday, November 11, 2016
I believe you about Dr Ostlie I have found this type of care with at least 3 care provider's at Sanford It's getting borderline ridiculous- I think doctors have become so overworked and cynical - they forget why they became doctors - where can we go?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I told Dr Ostlie about my multiple prescriptions and well as my heart diseases and PCOS (I had a partial oopherectomy the previous year as well as heart surgery many years before). I explained why and when I take medications (one happened to be a pain killer I take 1 day a month (12 pills a year) for severe pain) and that I have established a very well working system to manage my heart problems as well as my ovary problems over the past 10 years, needing as little medication and as few future surgeries as possible.
Dr Ostlie cupped her mouth and started laughing. I asked her why she was laughing and she continued to laugh and called me a liar. She said I was too young to have the conditions I do (documented by past specialists and multiple surgeries for said illnesses). She told me 'Im tired of people like you coming in here'. I started to cry in embarrassment and she continued to laugh and mock me as I cried. I told her I have no problem with her waiting for my medical records, but she continued to laugh loudly and call me a liar. I asked here if she wanted to see my multiple surgical scars to prove I'm not a liar sand to stop the mocking, yet she continued to laugh.I then told her I wasnt comfortable with her performing the exam and she got up and walked out laughing.
I then heard her through the closed door loudly say private information to the nurse.I walked in tears to the office manager office. He was notified and so far has done nothing. I spent the next hour crying in the car shocked and upset I was treated so poorly and was mocked and laughed at by some I thought I could trust with personal information. I was treated like a common drug addict for taking 12 low low dose pain killers a year, regardless of my DOCUMENTED history.
I ended up going to a difference clinic for my exam and found out DR OSTLIE plasted my chart with 'pain killer addict'. Luckily my new doctor understood and was very sympathetic with my experience and gave me the prescriptions I NEED (Heart meds as well as my low dose pain killers)i have filed reports with the ND medical board as well as through Stanford Hospital. Sadly Stanford has yet to do anything about this unethical physician they employ.STay away from Dr Jane Ostlie. She obviously has ethical problems and I would not trust her with the medical information of my hamster.

Family in Tampa
Hi! My name is Alexandra and I am in need of Childcare for my two boys within the upcoming weeks. I have two boys, ages 4 and almost 2. My 4 year old does not need too much attention, as he likes to be left alone and takes care of most things on his own. My 2 year old is, of course, a bit more hyper and likes to play. However, he also likes to be left alone for periods throughout the day to play in his room with his own toys. You can come to my home to watch the kids (you may also brings your own children), or I can bring them to your house. If you choose to watch them in my home, and you bring your own children, I do have a pull out couch you may let your child nap on during the day. It is located in a separate room as well. We also have plenty of toys. I am very flexible, but am looking for someone I can really depend on, as our jobs do not allow us to miss very much work. The hours we need care will vary between 7AM to 6PM Monday through Thursday, and closer to 7PM on Fridays. However, some days will only be 3-4 hours, while others may be a full 8. I am thinking a typical schedule would probably be from 7AM to 330PM or 130PM to 545ish, depending on which shift my husband is scheduled to work. We would also require an occasional Saturday from 9AM to 200PM. Most weeks, we will only ask for 3 or 4 days. I can provide you with a weekly schedule by Friday each week so you can plan. At this time, I cannot really afford more than $150 per week, so I am ideally looking for a stay at home mom just looking for a little extra income, or possibly a student with a flexible schedule. If you think this may be what you are looking for, please email me, or call/text 540-623-.... Thanks for your time! :-)

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm seeking some guidance on a nonimmigrant B-2 Visa. I called the US embassy, but they cannot give any advice about filling out the app. I am helping someone (from Philippines) fill out the DS-160 application and am not sure what marital status to select?
She was legally married for 4 years, however, for the past 9 years has been physically separated from her Ex, moved on in life, and has had very little contact with him and doesn't know his contact information. Neither has had the money to file for a divorce or legal separation. Should I select "married" because she is technically still married? Or, should I select "other" and simply explain that she is technically married, but has moved on in her life and doesn't consider herself married? I don't think legally separated applies?
If the marriage has not been terminated through death, divorce, or annulment, then it is still a legal marriage. It appears that the "correct" answer here would be "married."

text: Alright... My predicement... I have been running my computer for about almost a year now perfectly fine with no issues at all with Windows 7. This last weekend I went out camping and when I returned on Sunday to do a few things on the computer it decided to go and give me a Blue screen of death. I didn't think very much of it and just went to restart the computer. After I restarted, Windows began to load as normal and just as it was about to get to the login screen the BSOD came back. To save my self from typing the whole story lets just say I restarted the computer about 10 times before it decided to magically fix itself and work for the rest of the night. *Just as an aside, I wasn't restarting the computer in anger, it was more of a restart to try to get to the actual operating system before it would restart itself. So I really had no doing in all the restarts* So anywho, satisfied that my computer was back into working order, I turned in for the night and headed to work in the morning. When I got back the computer was back into the swing of the BSOD's which I tried to fix for the next 5 hours of the evening. I tried everything to get to the OS. Safe Mode, Revert to last known good configuration. Put in the Windows 7 CD and clicked "Magically Repair my Computer!" but nothing seemed to work. Then just like Sunday night it worked for about an hour, then kaput again. Sick and tired of everything I decided to Delete all the partitions in my hard drives, reformat and reinstall Windows 7. After I successfully installed the Operating System, it all seemed to work fine! Until about an hour passed at which time the BSODs returned. I would supply you all with the Dump files but I am unable to even access the desktop let alone get to the appropriate folder to give you more information. The Blue screens themselves were along the lines of the Driver IRQL Not less or Equal And also a bunch of Hexadecimal numbers ( 0x0000001E Also had a bunch of other numbers in parentheses after that but anywho...). I searched up that code and it said something about incompatible drivers or hardware. However I have been leaning towards this being a hardware error rather than a software issue. This is the only thing that really would make any sense to me since I did a fresh install of the Operating System and even after that the Blue Screens would continue. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. I will go and check the exact Specs of the computer and post them in a couple minutes. Sorry for the novel that went along with my problem, but I felt it would give you a better picture of the problem at hand.

Looking out the window of the room she was preparing, she saw him coming up the hill a distance away. Director Conner of Eskhalar, she knew about him alright she had been preparing his room in the Director's Building for the past hour. The Director's Building is one of the few buildings that Callingham has kept from the Destruction Age; it was tall, made of reflective glass and the inside of it had a brown and red color scheme. Even though most people thought it was beautiful when she looked at it, she only saw a sort of cold detachment; like it didn't belong.
"Adriana go downstairs and tend to Director Conn's mare" the speaker in the wall instructed.
Sighing Adriana mumbled a couple of words she was thankful the Supervisor couldn't hear. Adriana was painfully aware that if she had magic it would take the blink of an eye to get downstairs, but instead she had to endure a two minute descend .
By the time she was out of the building he was still a while away so she had to stand in the cold of the night, waiting. Five minutes later he was close enough to see her and she quickly plastered a smile on her face and waved Director Conn and his beautiful brown mare towards the stable. As he came closer she couldn't help but notice that the rumors she had heard were true; he was beyond doubt, extremely handsome. He had short dirty blonde hair, that complemented his tanned skin and his sad, troubled deep green eyes that seemed to be asking for comfort; comfort she could give. Stop, she chided herself, he is a Director, you are an Unacceptable and according to Rule #2 she was "never to mix socially with him unless on a work basis".
"Welcome to Zonaha, you will be staying in room 303. May I take your mare?" she said succeeding in sounding happy but not flirtatious.
"No, I prefer to look after her myself if you don't mind, but if you may be so kind as to show me the way to your barn…" he sort of faded out the rest of the sentence seeming to have lost what he was going to say.
"Right this way," she said ignoring the way he looked at her, and lead him down the barn's stone path. It was not her place to question or judge the actions of the other citizens.
"Don't they have any Unacceptables in Zonaha, rather than sending a pretty girl like you to do this dirty work?""

No team has proved quite so dysfunctional as Arsenal once did in the darkest hour of their season so far but last night they won their Champions League group with a game to spare and a spring in their step.
It was a very different story at the Emirates to the tales of woe that have unfolded to varying degrees this week for the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and, most perilous of all the English teams, Manchester City. The good news has been in short supply at times this season at Arsenal but last night Arsène Wenger could afford to smile the smile of the man whose club have done the job – for now.
Best news of all for Arsenal? This season, in the first knockout round at least, Barcelona are someone else's problem. So too Real Madrid, Internazionale, Bayern Munich, all of them, like Arsenal, the winners of their groups so far and seeded for the draw on 9 December. Last season Arsenal fouled up their last two games in the group stages, finished second and were eliminated in February by Barça.
Considering that this particular Champions League journey began with a nerve-jangling qualifier against Udinese, Arsenal have come a long way from the start of the season when Samir Nasri's sale was announced as the team arrived at Luton airport for the flight to Italy. So far, so good for Wenger although he knows to take nothing for granted.
Who else but Robin van Persie to score both Arsenal goals, which takes his total for the year to 38 in 41 matches. And what more can be said about the man with the stupendous goalscoring record for Arsenal? He becomes more indispensable with every game. When the striker went down with a knock in the second half there was a cheer when he clambered back up to his feet.
Offered the chance to gloat at the travails of his fellow English clubs, Wenger offered no shot. "I have to very cautious about what I say," he said with a smile on his lips. Earlier he had theorised that the standard in domestic championships all over Europe had improved and made it more difficult.
"We were in a difficult group and I am happy that we came through," he said. "We drew Udinese in the qualifiers and you couldn't exactly bet that we would go [through] like we did. Overall I'm very pleased. We came through a very difficult period. We are focussed and united and we have worked hard."
The unexpected defeat for Marseilles at home to Olympiakos last night in the other Group F game, means that Wenger's team, group winners with a game to go, can take it very easy indeed against in their final game in Athens on 6 December. Wenger can even play the kids if he so decides and he will certainly give Van Persie a well-deserved rest.
Asked whether there was a danger that his team could become too reliant on Van Persie, Wenger said that it was inevitable that in the Dutchman's current form the side looked to him for goals. "At the moment I believe Van Persie is an exceptional player and takes advantage of our offensive style.
"From the wings we create a lot of chances," he added, "but I don't deny he is the one at the moment who scores all the goals. We hope we can keep him fit and he is with us for a long time."
Last night Arsenal were slow to start and lacking in inspiration at first against the German champions. Borussia Dortmund, however, were undermined by the loss of two of their bright young players within the first half an hour. The first to go was Sven Bender, a Germany international who hurt his jaw in a collision with Thomas Vermaelen and departed on a stretcher.
The prodigy Mario Gotze was even more of a worry and eventually the 19-year-old midfielder signalled that he was no longer able to carry on. The game lost its tempo. In the stands, Thierry Henry talked Roger Federer through the finer points of the Champions League.
After the break the Germans started stronger but it was from Alex Song that the game's true moment of brilliance came. Song earns his living as the midfield destroyer who chases, tackles and gets a foot in. He is a class above the figure of old who did that in English football but, nonetheless, you do not expect to see him twisting between two opponents and delivering pinpoint crosses for his centre-forward.
There were four minutes of the second half gone when Song took the ball down the left wing, first eluding Kevin Grosskreutz. Checking back he cut in and, in one movement, swept the ball from one foot to another to steer a delicate path between Sebastian Kehl and Lukasz Piszczek. That done he put in a back post cross that Van Persie headed down past Roman Weidenfeller.
Gervinho missed another good chance for Arsenal before they scored again. The second was a rare set-piece goal for Arsenal: Aaron Ramsey's corner, Vermaelen's flick and Van Persie at the back post to do the rest.
Dortmund should never have been allowed to fashion a consolation goal for Shinji Kagawa in injury time – it was Song's original mistake that conceded possession out on the right side – but Arsenal can be forgiven that. They have learned from the perils of finishing second last season and done the job this year with much less fuss than others that spring to mind.
Frustration for Marseilles
Marseilles were made to wait for a place in the last 16 when they were beaten 1-0 at Stade Vélodrome by Olympiakos. The French side were just eight minutes away from reaching the knockout stage when substitute Giannis Fetfatzidis fired home after the visitors beat the Marseilles offside trap to give his team a deserved win and keep their own hopes of going through alive. In the final games, the Greeks must beat Arsenal and hope that Marseilles do not win at Borussia Dortmund.Reuse content

Comments about Crayola Watercolor Pencils:
I bought these sets for my second graders. They were very easy to use, and provided a great watercolor paint effect! We used flat brushes to blend colors. It was a lot easier than watercolor paints.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Crayola Watercolor Pencils (Classpack)
By Jeff, the illustrator
from Melrose Park, IL
Good rich colorWatercolor pencils are a great introduction to watercolors for students - they have a little more control of the medium.I wish more colors were offered in the classpack + the white pencils are pretty useless, their only purpose - to draw on dark colored paper. it would be more beneficial to students to have an additional color (tan, turquois?).
Amazing way to use Water Colors!
By Mary
from Tiverton, RI
It's great to be able to achieve a water color painting effect in tiny details. My students are using them on their radial design pieces that have very small details and they can control them better verses using a brush and trying to stay within lines/shapes.

Good classroom quality watercolor pencils.
By kgaz25
from Chandler, AZ
These are fun to use with school age children. The colors are rich, and the watercolor effect is exciting for the kids to experience. Just make sure you have a good pencil sharpener, because the lead is fairly soft. Use a regular graphite pencil to clean the pencil sharpener after every 5-10 watercolor pencils.
By CBS
from San Antonio, TX
For the beginning water colorist, these are fabulous.
Unique Art Material
By Hawks Art
from St. Louis MO
I used these watercolor pencils with my high school art students for our Try It Tuesday unit. Every Tuesday we try out a different art medium. My students LOVED watercolor pencils. I would recommend these as an addition to anyones art supply reservoir.
By Kasey the Art Teacher
from Louisiana
I use these in my elementary art room. I love them compared to other watercolor pencils because they create a true watercolor look after applying water. Others I have tried left the pencil lines and didn't achieve the look I wanted. These do and the kids love them. The colors stay bright even after applying water.
