The Knicks new rookie coach Derek Fisher welcomes Phil Jacksons hands-on approach from the presidency seat, but only to a point.
Fisher admitted the duo has to find the right mix regarding Jacksons involvement during practices and such. Jackson acknowledged during Tuesdays press conference he will attend practices and will speak up to players when he sees something. After all, owner James Dolan isnt paying Jackson $60 million to look good in a jacket and tie.
Ten days ago, Fisher was a reserve point guard for the Thunder in the Western Conference finals, so he can use the help from the Zen Master.
I want Phil involved, said Fisher, who won five titles with Jackson as his coach for the Lakers. Well figure out the dynamic. We have a transition to make from being coach-player to executive-coach. Thats a different relationship. We have some learning to do from that respect.
Fisher went on to say, however, the players need to know who the coach is. Ironically, Jackson loathed input from the front office during his coaching days. In fact, he famously threw legendary Jerry West, then the Lakers general manager, out of his locker room after a game.
I dont actually see the problem of having one of the greatest ever do what youre trying to do to want to come down and help you a little bit, Fisher said. I see that as a positive, something Im open to. Well figure out how that works and plays out the best way to do it so the players understand Im the head coach. I dont see it being an issue as potentially others may see it. Im looking forward to that exchange.
Asked about his role now that protégé Fisher is in place, Jackson said, Well figure that out as we go along, obviously. I see a role simply as a guy willing and ready to offer support. Im willing and ready to step into practice sessions and talk about things you have to do on the basketball court.
In the past two weeks, the Knicks have conducted a handful of pre-draft workouts for college players and Jackson has helped.
Ive done the workouts, Jackson said. I realize its not my role to be on the court. Its where a young man steps in and has the energy to lead. My job is to flesh out what Ive accumulated over 30 years of coaching.
J.R. Smith always has impeccable timing on Twitter. On Fishers first official day as head coach, Smith sent a message, indicating hes not willing to come off the bench this season.
When a follower told him hes going to win another Sixth Man of the Year Award, the flaky Smith tweeted: Nope! no more bench for me!! Smith won Sixth Man of the Year in 2013, but when he moved to the starting lineup late last season he excelled after a slow start. Smith could be ticked at the firing of Mike Woodson, whom he adored.
Fisher said he hopes to hire his coaching staff soon and said its no guarantee he will have a former head coach on his staff.
Fisher, according to a source, is trying to hire Lakers a.ssistant Kurt Rambis, and The Post reported the Knicks have gotten permission from LA to speak with him. The only caveat is Rambis could be included on the next Lakers staff, depending on whom they hire.
Other candidates include former Fisher teammates Luke Walton and Rick Fox, Bucks a.ssistant Jim Cleamons, and Bill Cartwright. Knicks GM Steve Mills has spoken to Scottie Pippen at the Chicago pre-draft camp about potentially joining the staff. Fisher also will be asked to consider longtime Knicks a.ssistant Herb Williams, who has head-coaching experience.
Following Jason Kidds lead last July, Fisher said he is strongly considering being the head coach during the Las Vegas Summer League.
Its definitely something I considered, Fisher said. Its on my mind. I saw Jason do it last year. I thought it was smart thing to do. Not having head-coaching experience, it could be a great opportunity to learn things in the summer league. What the job requires during game management, timeouts, substitutions, little situations youll be in.

It didnt take long for Derek Fisher to proclaim he plans to reestablish the Knicks championship heritage of the 1970s and break the franchises 41-year title drought. And the Knicks new head coach wants Carmelo Anthony around for the rings, saying he firmly believes this is the place for him.
At his introductory press conference in Greenburgh on Tuesday, Fisher, owner of five titles as a point guard with the Lakers, said hes without a doubt sure he can return these Knicks to their glory days when Phil Jackson wasnt the team president but a power forward on their only two title teams.
All Ive heard about is how special this city can be when the Knicks are winning, Fisher said.
Fisher, however, didnt sound as certain regarding Anthonys future since he can become a free agent July 1. Jackson said he wants Fisher to wear his five championship rings to his first meeting with Anthony, who has an opt-out clause that Jackson is trying to get him to delay free agency until 2015. Anthony must make his decision by June 23.
As far as Carmelo is concerned, we obviously believe Carmelo is one of the top players in the NBA and world, Fisher said. We want him to be here, but ultimately he has the choice. Well do everything we can possibly do to give him confidence that we can get the job done and put a team together he can feel is a championship team.
The Knicks didnt make the playoffs this season at 37-45 and they dont have cap space until 2015 or a pick in the June 26 draft.
Fisher said hes yet to speak with Anthony, but said hes prepared if Anthony bolts.
We played against each other for years, Fisher said. Hes one of the great ones. Im excited about the opportunity to possibly work with him. But he has to speak to his situation. As head coach, I have to be prepared to coach the players that I have. I would love to have him and am looking forward to it.
Jackson said another Anthony powwow is coming up shortly. The Bulls, Lakers, Rockets and Mavericks could be destinations if the Knicks star leaves.
Were planning on meeting with Carmelo in the near future, Jackson said. I want to express to him again I want to have him back on the team. We havent heard one way or another about opt-in or opt-out. If he decides on free agency, he has a right to do that.
Jackson, who admitted sheepishly he told Anthony that Steve Kerr would be the head coach, feels confident Fishers addition helps.
I think Ill have Derek wear all five of his rings the first time he comes in and talks to Carmelo, say this is what were working for, Jackson said. Theres a feel Derek has, and I think Carmelo will have. They played against each other, but more than anything, Derek represented something when he was the head of the union to these players that he was up there f!ghting for them and the leadership he showed in that phase was remarkable, and I think all the players appreciated that.
Fisher said he understands if Anthony wants to be a free agent but added, We obviously firmly believe that here is that place for Carmelo. Were going to do our best, not to convince or change his mind from a decision he has already made, but maybe help give him some confidence with the personnel involved and our commitment to working hard to achieve a great amount of success. This is a place he can have what he wants. He wants to be a on a great team, he wants to be around great people and he wants to achieve greatness. Hes great and he deserves that.
Fisher called the roster very, very talented and talked about wanting to add more banners to the ceiling.
Phil experienced it here as a player some 40 years ago, Fisher said. It is here you walk the halls and experience the championship-level success, the great players and great coaches that have come through this organization. Thats why Im here. Thats why I took advantage of this opportunity. We know without a doubt we can reestablish what that means, what that is.
Fisher was considered a key leader on five Lakers title teams.
I have not been a head coach in the NBA, college or high school. But I am experienced. I am experienced in playing the game and being a champion, he said. Basketball is a game that I am experienced in playing, understanding, leading in, guiding in, helping another group of people achieve the greatest gift in the world as a professional athlete, and thats being a champion that I have experience in, and thats the experience that I plan on sharing with these players, sharing with this organization.

LeBron to New York?
Don't rule it out, says ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.
Smith said on his radio show on ESPN New York 98.7 FM's "The Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco Show" that Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James would like to play together and it's a "95 percent possibility" that James and Anthony would end up together if both opted in to their contracts for the 2014-15 season.
"LeBron wants to play with Melo," Smith said. "Melo wants to play with LeBron."
Both Anthony and James have opt out clauses in their contracts that can be exercised this summer.
Smith said that if both James and Anthony opt in this summer, "the New York Knicks would have a shot at getting LeBron James to come to New York."
The Knicks are projected to have enough cap space to land two max free agents in the summer of 2015.
James and Anthony, of course, could also end up in Miami, depending on how things shake out with the other two members of Heat's Big Three over the next two summers.
One thing that Smith is nearly certain about? If both Anthony and James opt in this summer, they will be playing together in 2015-16.
"I'm here to tell you right now it's a 95 percent possibility -- if not more -- that they would join forces whether it be in New York or Miami," he said.

Now that the New York Knicks have both a president of basketball operations and a coach with a championship pedigree, one would think there should be no problem luring players with winning ability to a city that's been starving for a title since 1973. But as we sit here today, the focus having shifted to compiling a roster that should reap such dividends, the attention now rests squarely on Carmelo Anthony.
Unfortunately, none of us are sure if Melo's attention is aimed primarily at the Knicks. But the Knicks would need it to be if they're hoping for any success in the near future.
With yet another NBA Finals taking place without the Knicks' participation, their new coach, Derek Fisher, did everything he could to paint a picture of a franchise moving forward, desperate to eradicate a culture of losing. But while winning is the priority, it would do well for the Knicks' new coach to remember that it is players who get it done for you -- and that Melo is his best chance.
You want to be respectable? You keep Melo.
You want a gate attraction? You keep Melo.
You want, at least, a shot at LeBron James? You definitely keep Melo.
No matter how far-fetched that chance is.
To be clear, Melo wants to play with LeBron James. And, from what I'm being told, LeBron James wants to play with Melo. a.ssuming circumstances are ideal for them to do so. Sources tell ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Marc Stein that the Heat are preparing to make a run at Melo this summer in free agency, hoping to add him to the Big Three of LeBron, Wade and Bosh.
As far as Melo and LeBron are concerned, they would've been together already had Melo embraced the advice from James, one of his friends in the league, back in 2006, to sign a contract in 2007 with an opt-out after three seasons -- just like James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade did -- to make himself available for summer 2010.
It was Melo's decision to refrain, to take the five-year, $80 million deal offered by the Denver Nuggets, throwing a proverbial monkey wrench in James' plans. Essentially, the Big 3 could've easily been James, Wade and Melo ... instead of Bosh.
Melo blew it!
But that was then. This is now. And Carmelo Anthony, back then, didn't have the 11 years of NBA experience or the stable, business-savvy family life he has now.
Melo is a different man. With a far more substantive arsenal.
The future is just as important as right now. And quality of life is far more important than dollars and cents.
Here comes LeBron James.
Understand, the possibility of getting LBJ is slim. Annually, James is competing for championships. He's doing so surrounded by palm trees and gorgeous weather, for a first-class organization led by a first-class executive in Pat Riley with five titles on his resume. He's doing it in a place devoid of state income taxes and with a cheaper cost of living, with all of it serving as its own recruiting tool for prospective free agents-to-come.
By all accounts, LeBron can go wherever he wants. Whether he decides to leave Miami or stay, any team in the league will exhaust all options to make room for his arrival.
Still, LeBron doesn't care about money because he knows he'll get it. He doesn't care about where he lives because if he's adjusted to departing Akron, Ohio, for South Beach, he can adjust to almost anything.
What LeBron cares about is the roster he's playing with. The organization a.ssembling it. And being happy, because the future is bright wherever he lands.
Winning is almost everything.
Winning with friends is everything!
Melo knows this, which is why the waiting game here in New York has lasted so long.
Melo knows before he does anything, he needs to talk to LeBron James when these NBA Finals are over. He needs to find out if LeBron is interested in coming to New York, or if he's staying in South Beach. Or if he has another destination in mind, where both of them can get their money and leave enough room for a strong supporting cast.
Such decisions may require that Melo opt in for an additional year with the Knicks before becoming a free agent next summer.
Or it may involve him becoming a free agent now, then leaving to go wherever he knows James will end up.
Remember, folks: No matter what the Big 3 in Miami says, they all knew they were meeting up in Miami months in advance. This is a similar scenario.
James kept his word to the fellas back then. According to sources, he always does. What LeBron James says and promises, he's known for delivering.
How else would we know about his crew (and management firm) LRMR -- LeBron, Randy, Maverick, Rich -- his boys from childhood?
"If you're LeBron's man, you're his man," one trusted confidant of LeBron's has said. "He's honorable on that level. He's an incredible friend. He means what he says. He does what he says he's going to do. And he does not break his word ... although it's hard as hell to get it!"
Dwyane Wade trusted this. Chris Bosh trusted this. And -- bet the house -- Carmelo Anthony trusts that what LeBron James says he'll do, he will do.
Don't think for one second that these sentiments have not been conveyed to MSG chairman James Dolan and the New York Knicks.
Knowing this, keeping Melo must be paramount. Unless Phil Jackson finds a young Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant somewhere, Melo qualifies as the Knicks' best option.
The Knicks can talk all they want about Jackson's brilliance, his 11 titles, his triangle offense and all it has reaped, but choreographers are nothing without someone to dance to their routines.
Melo's the best dancer the Knicks have. For now and the foreseeable future.
So it's nice to see Fisher as the Knicks' new $5 million man. To know him is to be sincerely happy for the Knicks' new coach, who's epitomized nothing but professionalism and competitiveness throughout his 18-year playing career.
But Fisher can only coach what he has. Jackson, in all likelihood, only wants to preside over something worthwhile. And the best way for him to pull that off now is to keep Carmelo Anthony in a Knicks uniform for several years to come, utilizing his "connections" to help formulate a roster worth paying to watch at MSG.
There's an awful lot at stake if the Knicks fail in this quest. And, obviously, there's a chance we might not just be talking about Melo.

Kevin Love says the Knicks are a more attractive place now that Phil Jackson is in charge.
In an interview on ESPNs "SportsNation," Love was asked about his thoughts on the Knicks.
"I think anytime you have Phil Jackson involved with any organization, you're going to definitely look at it," Love said. And you know it's very intriguing. The Knicks are a place where I think anybody would like to go.
Love intends to become an unrestricted free agent after this coming season and ESPN reported earlier that he has no interest in a contract extension with Minnesota.
That makes Love, who averaged 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds last season, one of the most sought-after commodities on the trade market this offseason. Minnesota doesn't want to trade Love but certainly would not want to lose Love for nothing next summer.
The problem for the Knicks is that they simply lack the a.ssets to land Love if the Wolves opt to trade their star between this summer and the trading deadline for next season. The Wolves would likely want a high draft pick to go in any package and the Knicks next first-round pick is for 2018.
Another problem? Love wants to play for a contender.
"No matter what the outcome is, I just want to end up in a great place where I can win," Love said. "At the end of the day, I've played six years, haven't made the playoffs yet, that burns me and hurts my heart, so I really want to be playing."
But Love says Phil and his rings do make the Knicks more attractive these days.
You mention LeBron James, he's the best player in the world another max contract guy, a guy that has won two and working on his third straight championship, Love said. So, yeah, anytime Phil Jackson is involved in different talks in an organization, you have to give it a second look.

Derek Fisher was on the job for only a few hours before he threw down his first challenge as a coach to his player.
"Ultimately the decision to be great, to be part of something special, to want to be the best that you can be, is ultimately your choice," Fisher said regarding Carmelo Anthony's impending free agency.
"Carmelo is in a position as a player where that's his choice."
Free agency brings many great choices for Melo, just ask some in his inner circle that have been imploring him to leave New York for the better part of the past season.
There's the Bulls, who would have to carve up their roster and hope Derrick Rose is ready to play at an all-star level immediately after sitting out most of two seasons with knee injuries.
There's the Lakers, who would have to use up all of their cap space to sign him (and, remember, it's still Kobe's ball).
There's the Rockets, who have Melo's favorite point guard, Jeremy Lin and a star who is already grumbling about not getting enough touches in the offense (and, remember, it's James Harden's ball).
And then there's the Heat. My friend Brian Windhorst had an explosive report on ESPN.com that said Miami has been planning a move to add Melo as a fourth Musketeer. Even cap guru Larry **** got a headache trying to figure out how the Heat fit all four under the cap at reasonable cost and still field a team.
But this is all to be expected. It's all about competition and even if the Heat plan is far-fetched daydreaming, Pat Riley and his staff still creates pressure on his old friend Phil Jackson and the Knicks.
Jackson hoped Melo might keep his word and take less to give the Knicks more cap room to build. LeBron, Wade and Co. got wind of this and said, "Yo, if you're going to take less money, why not take it here?"
Melo doesn't want to leave New York. He's said that routinely. Those around him, however, are trying to convince him otherwise. Jackson and Fisher have their work cut out for them in this tug-of-war.
But all they need to do is convince him that they can get it done in New York where others have failed. And they can do it rather quickly.
After that, they'll leave it up to Melo to decide where he can be, as Fisher said, "part of something special."

Amare Stoudemire is cooking up a recipe to return to All-Star status next season.
Stoudemire, on a book tour for his latest tome, Cooking with Amare, told The Post Thursday night his bonanza final two months in the starting lineup has him eyeing his seventh All-Star appearance in new coach Derek Fishers triangle attack.
No doubt in my mind my goal is to get back to that level [of] just three short years ago, Stoudemire said during the book signing in White Plains. For sure, my goal is to return to the All-Star Game and compete or a championship in the postseason.
Stoudemire and Fisher have only texted, but the Knicks power forward who stayed mostly injury-free last season feels the triangle is right for him. The system relies on a big man who can post up, an area of Stoudemires game that has greatly improved.
With the triangle offense, its probably the best situation for all of us, Stoudemire said. We get a good system we can run and stay consistent on. Ive adjusted to any system Ive played in. It wont be a problem.
Nor is he worried Fisher is too green for the job after finishing up his playing career less than two weeks ago. Stoudemire refers to Phil Jackson as president/coach and liaison.
Definitely not worried at all, Stoudemire said. I feel hell put a great staff around him that will be great and has Phil as a liaison. Phil loves basketball. Im sure hes going to be around coaching us and schooling us during practice which would be greatly appreciated. Learning from [Jackson] will be a high for most of us in our careers.
Stoudemire will soon meet with Fisher.
I told him on text he had my full support, said Stoudemire, who has now written six books, including a five-part childrens series. Im looking forward to sitting down and talking basketball. Hes been a solid basketball player on great teams.
When youre on great teams and championships teams you learn great habits, and those great habits will be great to learn from him because were trying to reach that championship plateau.

Despite efforts from New York Knicks president Phil Jackson to convince him to remain under contract, forward Carmelo Anthony hasn't changed his mind and plans to opt out of his contract and test free agency this summer, according to a league source familiar with the situation.
Sources told ESPN.com earlier this week that Jackson is continuing to urge Anthony to exercise next season's $23.3 million player option and put off unrestricted free agency for one more year. Anthony, according to sources, has until June 23 to inform the Knicks if he plans to opt out of his contract.
Jackson first said late last month that he hoped Anthony would consider opting in to the final year of his contract. Anthony had said publicly during the season that he planned to test free agency.
"I told him it might be a good idea to hang in here and see what it's like for a year and go out the next year," Jackson said. "But that's his option, that's what he's earned, and that's what's part of his contractual agreement. He has the right to do that. But I just offered that as, 'Look, this gives you an opportunity to see how this is going to change, see how we're going to get going, your relationship to the team and the coach and the system or whatever, the system we impose."
Jackson said when he first broached the subject with Anthony during a dinner meeting in late April, the All-Star forward was receptive to the idea, Jackson said. ESPN.com reported that Jackson has delivered the pitch to Anthony on multiple occasions over the past month.
According to reports, Jackson was set to talk to Anthony about opting in again during a meeting on Thursday with general manager Steve Mills and coach Derek Fisher. A league source said late Thursday night, though, that Anthony remains committed to opting out at this point.
The New York Daily News reported earlier Thursday that Anthony intends to test free agency barring a "dramatic change of heart."
The Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks are all teams Anthony would consider starting July 1, sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein, provided Anthony remains steadfast in his decision to opt out between now and June 23. Miami Heat officials have also started to explore their options in trying to create enough financial flexibility to land Anthony in free agency, ESPN.com reported earlier this week.
Anthony would have to make a monetary sacrifice if he decides to leave New York. With the Knicks, Anthony can ink a maximum five-year contract worth $129,135,806. If he signs with another team, the maximum he can earn is $95,897,372 over four years. Anthony would likely have to sign for significantly less to join the Heat.
Jackson hoped to convince Anthony to opt in to the final year of his contract and test free agency next season to give the Knicks a better idea of the free agency landscape in 2015. The Knicks are expected to have plenty of cap space in 2015 to try to reel in a big-name free agent to pair with Anthony.
Jackson said late last month that he "wasn't losing sleep" over Anthony's free agency but was "definitely concerned" that Anthony may sign with another team.
"It only takes one bidder out there that has the ability and can ruin your hopes and your chances," Jackson said.
Both Jackson and Fisher have made it clear that they hope Anthony re-signs with the Knicks.
"I want to be extremely clear that I would love to have the opportunity to work [with] and coach Carmelo Anthony," Fisher said in an interview earlier this week on ESPN 98.7 FM's "The Michael Kay Show." "I want him to be back with the New York Knicks and to remain a part of what we're trying to do here and what we will do. So I don't think anyone has expressed a lukewarm feeling about wanting him back. I think we're all trying to be respectful as people. Carmelo is a great person. He's a family guy and they have decisions that are sometimes independent of what is best for everybody else. So you respect that process.
"So I would think Phil [Jackson], Steve Mills, myself, we're trying hard not to turn this into a 'Carmelo please stay' type of process. At the same time, we have no problem expressing that we do want him as part of this team. We feel we can win a championship with him as our core and centerpiece."

The New York Knicks are sending a high-level delegation including president Phil Jackson and owner James Dolan to Los Angeles this weekend to sell All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony on a future with the franchise, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
For Anthony, who plans to become a free agent July 1, this meeting will likely include his first chance for a face-to-face with new Knicks coach Derek Fisher, sources said.
Fisher is expected to be part of a small Knicks management contingent traveling to Los Angeles, where Anthony has been living and working out this month, league sources said.
Jackson has met with Anthony, 30, to discuss his future with the Knicks, but this will likely be an opportunity for Jackson to finally let a coach sell his vision for a long-term partnership with the Knicks.
Anthony will exercise the Early Termination Option on his contract later this month, becoming an immediate priority target for several teams, including Chicago, Houston, Dallas and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Jackson has publicly and privately pushed for Anthony to resist using his ETO and play the 2014-15 season for his $23.3 million salary. The Knicks will have the salary cap space in 2015 to pursue star talent to join the team. Nevertheless, the New York Daily News has reported that Anthony still plans to opt out. If Anthony does decide to re-sign with New York on a long-term deal, Jackson will try to sell him on doing so at a discount price to allow the Knicks salary-cap flexibility.

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.
Depending on which trip you're on while in Croatia, you may find yourself travelling by:
No tourist coaches here! Travel through Croatia the way the locals do, aboard a local bus. It's a cheap, reliable and authentic way to get around.
Amazing views and quick access to the islands - what better way to see Croatia's splendid coast than aboard a ferry?
Tipping isn't mandatory in Croatia, although feel free to round up the bill or leave spare change for wait staff. Tip more if the service has been particularly good. Some restaurants and cafes will already include a 10-15% margin in the bill, to account for taxes and tips. In this case, generally no further tip is required.
Travellers will be able to access the internet at internet cafes and hotels in Croatia's large cities and tourist-orientated towns. Expect less internet accessibility in rural areas.
Mobile phone coverage is generally very good in Croatia's large cities and urban areas. Islands and remote areas may have less reliable service. Ensure global roaming is activated with your service provider before arrival.
Western-style, flushable toilets are the norm in Croatia's cities and urban centres.
Cup of coffee in a cafe = 5-15 HRK
Beer in a pub = 20 HRK
Short bus ride = 20 HRK
Simple, budget meal = 50-80 HRK
Tap water is considered safe to drink in Croatia; however, due to the different mineral content, some people may get stomach upsets from the drinking water if they aren't used to it. A better option is finding filtered water rather than relying on bottled water.
Large hotels, restaurants and tourist sites will most likely accept credit cards. Always carry enough cash for smaller purchases and when shopping at vendors like market stalls and smaller cafes and hotels, which may not have credit card facilities.
ATMs are readily available throughout Croatia. Cities and large towns will have more ATM access than small villages or rural areas, so prepare accordingly if travelling out of urban areas.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.
For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance
Please note these dates are for 2017. For a current list of public holidays in Croatia go to: http://www.worldtravelguide.net/croatia/public-holidays
Intrepid is committed to travelling in a way that is respectful of local people, their culture, local economies and the environment. It's important to remember that what may be acceptable behaviour, dress and language in your own country, may not be appropriate in another. Please keep this in mind while travelling.

Don't pit Marco and Rand against each other!
The pundits will do it because it makes for good talk.
The left-wing media (redundancy alert) will do it because it hurts Republicans.
Conservatives will do it because they're afraid of the change Rand Paul represents (the slow but inevitable ascendance of libertarianism within the GOP)
Libertarians will do it because they're obsessed with ideological purity (and Marco Rubio, while awesome, is impure from the view of many libertarians)
Okay, so now that've I've alienated everyone, please hear me out . . .
Why is it that within movements, we focus so intently on the 10% of stuff about which we disagree so much more intently than the 90% of stuff about which we agree?
Perhaps worse still, why do we focus on far less pressing issues about which we disagree and ignore the vastly more important issues about which we agree. For example . . .
Social conservatives are bound and determined to preserve the government's role in defining marriage as between one man and one woman, in spite of the fact that government has done NOTHING to arrest the decline of marriage as a social institution, a decline that began long before anyone was pushing for same-sex marriage. Socons look at libertarians who want to allow the redefinition of marriage as a threat and libertarians who want to get government out of licensure altogether as unrealistic dreamers. Libertarians look at socons as behind the times and excessively restrictive. Both obsess over the other's position.
Meanwhile, while both factions are picking at this comparatively less-important scab, the entire nation is bleeding out via a statist, debt-laden, natural rights-defiling, quasi-socialist sucking chest wound.
For their part, libertarians are obsessing over issues like the drug war. In spite of the fact that decent arguments exist on both sides of this issue, and are made by well-meaning members of the same movement, some libertarians look at any conservatives who hold a different view as being worse than the statists who are gunning for us all. Rather than focusing on our vast areas of agreement, and uniting to meet a vastly more dangerous threat, they are demanding what they deem as libertarian purity on every issue, large and small.
The conservative/libertarian/classical liberal movement is the only movement that has ever fought for a truly complete manifestation of liberty at the societal and governmental level. It is the only truly revolutionary political movement in history, for it is the only one that is calling for something other than a form of statism and oppression. The statists know this, and they are gunning for ALL of us, not just one faction or another. And they are delighted to help make that happen by splitting us up. In the Paul-Rubio divide, they see an opening. Do not give it to them!
Watch these two speeches. The plain-spoken libertarian and the soaring conservative. One is a conservative libertarian and the other is a libertarian conservative. Why on Earth would we focus on their few differences rather than their many wonderful sames? Fight the left. Fight the statists. Pick your favorite, but do not consider the other a foe!

Journal of the Geological Society
The complex magnetic anomaly situated in the region of Reading and Newbury has been investigated using several techniques. Analysis of the power spectrum of the anomaly indicates that it results from two groups of sources: a shallow group at a maximum depth of some 1.1 km and a more extensive, deeper group at a depth in excess of 2.5 km. The anomalies due to these two sources have been separated by wavenumber filtering and continuation methods. The deeper group of sources appears to have a significant remanent magnetization and could be modelled by an approximately prismoidal body with a side length of some 20 km. The shallow group of sources appears to correlate with igneous rocks encountered in local boreholes. The magnetic properties of these rocks have been determined.

The Movie Itself: Our Reviewer's Take
I am an unabashed fan of John Fawcett's 'Ginger Snaps,' a splendid Canadian film featuring a werewolf plot with serious bite, which sadly is somewhat of a rare treat in movies. My love for this little flick, which has quickly grown in cult status over the years, extends from the characters and performances down to its modest production value and a story Fawcett co-wrote with Karen Walton ('Orphan Black') about modern adolescence. In fact, there's a great deal more going on within the film that's worth further study and critical analysis, touching on various feminists ideas about a teenage girl and themes of sisterhood. But that's a discussion for another time where space is a bit more forgiven.
With that said, the film remains, even on a surface level viewing, ingeniously entertaining and clever, starting with believable performances by Katharine Isabelle ('Freddy vs. Jason,' 'American Mary,' 'Hannibal') and Emily Perkins ('Prozac Nation,' 'Juno'). The two star as socially withdrawn, death-obsessed sisters Ginger and Brigitte Fitzgerald, outcasts who whisper gruesome fantasies on the demise of the popular kids at their high school. Demonstrating Fawcett and Walton had their thumb on the pulse of a cultural zeitgeist fueled by gravely doomed teenage angst, the production is coincidentally marred by two school shootings that occurred at around the same time. The Fitzgerald sisters, who are shown as talented and artistically creative, interestingly give voice to the fear and anxiety of kids who feels unwanted and detached by peers.
Showing just how smart of a horror-flick this is, the title aptly and perfectly reflects this theme of apprehension and malaise reaching an intensely violent boiling point. At once, the name is an obvious pun to the ginger-and-cinnamon-flavored biscuits, but it also refers to when Isabelle's Ginger suddenly loses her sense of self to the confusing and difficult to manage hormones. Deeper still, it suggests the character's mental breakdown and her drive towards acts of violence. Despite being teenagers at some point in their lives, the adults in the film are completely oblivious. The school counselor (Peter Keleghan) talks to her like a juvenile delinquent while mom (a great Mimi Rogers) is detached, perhaps deliberately ignoring her daughter's individual problems in favor of gaudily celebrating cultural norms and dad (John Bourgeois) is an uninvolved observer.
Wonderfully entertaining as the movie is, the story is not without a couple drawbacks, most notably the use of the lycanthrope mythology used as a metaphor for adolescence. Not that it's a bad metaphor because it's actually rather ingenious. Instead, the problem is that Fawcett turns it into a blatantly literal conceit that leaves little room for audience discovering the connection on their own. Nevertheless, part of the trope's genius is that in spite of being obvious, it is also a clever and refreshing twist because the werewolf metaphor has traditionally being used for male puberty and aggression. Here, Ginger is at a point in her life where she struggles with the challenges of being a woman and discovering sexual empowerment at a time when society still frowned upon it. Even the sisters view this stage with disappointing disgust.
Making 'Ginger Snaps' all the more wickedly delightful is Fawcett and his team injecting the tale of contemporary teen angst with a bitingly dark sense of humor. The popular girl at school (Danielle Hampton) is continuously snubbed by the town's hot throb Sam (Kris Lemche) for the awkwardly timid Brigitte, and the sexually promiscuous Jason (Jesse Moss) gets his comeuppance when his hormones go into overdrive. The plot itself often feels reminiscent, almost homage-like, of David Cronenberg's body horror style and several scenes genuinely disturb. Fawcett smartly refrained from CG imagery in favor of on-screen practical effects, giving the film an added feel of a classic horror movie. Done on a modest production, 'Ginger Snaps' is a terrific and intelligent horror flick that lends itself well for watching analytically or for pure entertainment.
The Blu-ray: Vital Disc Stats
Shout! Factory brings 'Ginger Snaps' to Blu-ray as a two-disc combo Collector's Edition under the distributor's Scream Factory line. The Region A locked, BD50 disc is housed inside a blue, eco-elite case with brand new reversible cover art and cardboard slipcover. At startup, viewers are taken to a basic menu screen with music and full-motion clips. Also, if you buy direct from the Shout! website, fans can get an exclusive, limited edition poster of the newly commissioned artwork with their purchase!
The Video: Sizing Up the Picture
Sadly, Ginger is only teething at the moment but tries to take a bite out of Blu-ray nonetheless with a 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode that suspiciously looks like the same master used for the DVD. This is not a terrible thing since the video offers an appreciable upgrade over its predecessor with several great-looking moments of sharp detailing and excellent resolution. Unfortunately, artificial sharpening appears to be in evidence throughout with noticeable ringing occurring in daylight sequences. Contrast is on the bland side, creating a mostly flat picture and highlights looking a bit hot. Black levels waver from murky to accurate with average shadow delineation while colors are well-balanced and cleanly rendered. Although a fine layer of grain can be more pronounced in a couple poorly-lit scenes, in general, it's stable and consistent. Given its modest production and history, this 1.85:1 image has a welcomed film-like appeal and is currently the strongest presentation seen on home video.
The Audio: Rating the Sound
As the saying goes, her bark is worse than her bite. Or to be clearer, Ginger has a meaner, sexier growl than her hairy looks. And Shout offers fans two listening options for enjoying her snarling howls: an upgraded 5.1 upmix or a stereo option.
The former is not horrible, as I imagine some will find it decently pleasing with the several discrete but sporadic rear effects. Granted, it is enveloping at times, but the DTS-HD MA soundtrack also feels artificial and often forced with easy to localize sounds that are sometimes distracting. The front soundstage is noticeably overextended and thinned with a uniform, bright mid-range that tends to drown out the vocals and an exaggerated low-end that feels muddy and inflated.
The stereo option, on the other hand, is closer to the original design, making it superior, more natural and definitely the preferred choice. Imaging is broad and welcoming with plenty of discrete, intelligible activity in the background. Clean, well-balanced channel separation with clear, detailed dynamics and acoustics generates an excellent soundfield that's terrifically engaging and full of warmth. Dialogue is precise and pristine in the center at all times, and low bass is accurate with an appropriate, deep response when called upon, making this an excellent lossless mix.
The Supplements: Digging Into the Good Stuff
- Audio Commentaries — The first track features director John Fawcett riding solo and talking enthusiastically about the production with several amusing anecdotes from the set. This is followed by a commentary from screenwriter Karen Walton, who delves deeper into the plot and themes as well sharing some frank thoughts on the end result.
- Cast Auditions & Rehearsals (1080i/60, 18 min) — Pre-production BTS clips of Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins.
- Featurette (HD, 5 min) — Standard EPK piece with cast & crew interviews discussing the usual topics.
- Creation of the Beast (1080i/60, 5 min) — More BTS footage, this time showing the make-up & effects process that went into the climax.
- Being John Fawcett (1080i/60, 2 min) — A weird little clip from the director's point of view chatting with his two leads.
- Promotional Material (HD) — Two theatrical previews and two TV spots are joined by a still gallery of production design artwork.
- Deleted Scenes (1080i/60)
HD Bonus Content: Any Exclusive Goodies in There?
- Ginger Snaps: Blood, Teeth and Fur (HD, 67 min) — An amusing and excellent retrospective with cast & crew interviews, sans Katharine Isabelle, looking back the film's humble beginnings, the controversies of the period, various comments on the production and its reception, from initial reaction to its current cult status.
- Growing Pains: Puberty In Horror Films (HD, 27 min) — Another excellent piece which looks at the film with an analytical view. It's a thoughtful and insightful roundtable discussion on other female characters in the horror genre, and it features Fangoria's Rebekah McKendry, writers Kristy Jett & Heidi Honeycutt and filmmaker Axelle Carolyn.
Final Thoughts
As an unabashed fan, John Fawcett's 'Ginger Snaps' is wildly entertaining with enough brains and gore to amuse a wide audience. Featuring a werewolf plot with serious bite, the splendid Canadian cult film comes with amazing performances from the two main leads and an intelligently clever story that uses the lycanthrope myth as a metaphor for the challenges of adolescence. The Blu-ray comes with strong picture quality and an excellent audio presentation. With a good and healthy assortment of supplements, the overall package makes a great addition to the cult library, and neophytes will want to give it rent.

By winning her 23rd Major in January, Williams overtook Steffi Graf's Open era record of 22, but the American remains one Major short of the all-time record 24 held by Margaret Court.
The 23-time grand slam singles champion hinted at a pregnancy when she posted a picture of herself in a yellow swimsuit, showing off a prominent bump, on the social media app Snapchat.
The younger Williams sister is just one Grand Slam short of Margaret Court, who collected many of hers in an era when the difficulties of global travel often diluted the fields.
World number two Serena Williams is expected to return to the top of the WTA rankings next Monday as two-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber's points of winning the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in her home country of Stuttgart, are expected to come off. Her only other tournament this year was in Auckland, New Zealand, where she lost in the round of 16. Serena's knee injury in March caused her withdrawal from the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California. When Clijsters came back, she won three more grand slams and regained the World No. 1 ranking.
She was sidelined for nearly 12 months after her 2010 Wimbledon victory, returning from a potentially life threatening pulmonary embolism.
Williams hasn't played a competitive match since she beat her sister Venus to win the Australian Open.
This will be her first child with fiancé and co-founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian. She won it again the next year, followed by the Australian Open title, making her the first mother to win a Major since Evonne Cawley in 1980.
If Williams does return though, there's a blueprint for her post-baby comeback.
Victoria Azarenka of Belarus was one of the game's top threats when she left last year to have her first child and the 27-year-old will have one of her main obstacles removed when she returns to competition later in 2017.
That was less than five months ago so we must assume that Williams knew she was pregnant at the time of her engagement announcement.
Ohanian is the latest in a long line of suitors for Serena - she has also dated filmmaker Brett Ratner, basketball player Amar'e Stoudemire, and rapper Common. "I look forward to being back as soon as I can".
Williams, who is 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 meters) and weighed 155 pounds (70 kg) according to her tennis association profile, won a 23rd Grand Slam tournament title at the Australian Open in January.

New Hampshire Story Lines
By: Dustin Long - @dustinlong on July 13, 2014 | 6:33 A.M. EST
Kyle Larson looks to snap a stretch of three consecutive finishes outside the top 25 today at New Hampshire. (Photo: Getty Images)
LOUDON, N.H. - Things seemed good for rookie Kyle Larson last month, but three bad results have him outside a Chase spot heading into today's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Larson was eighth in points after last month's Michigan race but slid to 17th after finishing 28th at Sonoma (lost power steering), 40th at Kentucky (blown tire and crash) and 36th last week at Daytona (crash).
"It was looking great,'' said Larson, who starts today's race 13th. "It makes you stress out a little bit just because each week it gets closer and closer to the Chase. Now we have fallen to where we have to fight really hard again. I have to have a couple of good runs and hopefully get back up there.''
Larson's best results, though, have come at tracks 1.5-miles or larger. His best finish at a track 1 mile or less is 10th at Bristol. New Hampshire is a 1-mile track.
Larson and teammate Jamie McMurray, though, tested at this track last month.
"We were here with the Hendrick (Motorsports) cars and I thought they were a little bit better than us, but at the midway point of the test I thought we were pretty good,'' Larson said. "We just kept testing different things and slowed down a little bit.''
Whether Larson can snap his drought is among the story lines today.
Kyle Busch
Yes, Brad Keselowski was the fastest in both of Saturday's practice sessions but Busch starts on the pole and placed second in both races at New Hampshire last year.
The challenge in moving up a spot Sunday? A better handling car on a long run.
"I think the biggest thing is I always like to be able to take off and go and when I can take off and go - it usually means I'm too tight halfway through the run - and that's when those guys seem to be able to beat us,'' Busch said. "The second race (at New Hampshire) last year we ran a lot better on the long run, but the race was a little too short and ran out of time to our teammate (Matt Kenseth).''
The question is if Busch and crew chief Dave Rogers have solved the issue this time.
Race Strategy
Watch what crew chiefs do to set themselves for the final pit stop, which could come between 80 and 100 laps left.
Last September, Matt Kenseth had a dominant car and used a two-tire strategy on his last stop to maintain his lead.
Last July, Brian Vickers won. He last pitted 90 laps from the end and moved to the front when others stopped afterward.
In July 2012, Denny Hamlin led the most laps but took four tires on his final stop and restarted 14th. Kasey Kahne took two tires on his last stop, restarted as the leader and won the race. Hamlin finished second.
Crew chiefs study race histories and they are aware what has worked and what hasn't in recent races. Keep these pit calls in mind as the race moves toward the finish.
13 A Magic Number?
There have been 12 different winners in the last 12 races at New Hampshire, dating back to 2008. The streak started with Kurt Busch. The other winners since are Greg Biffle, Joey Logano, Mark Martin, Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman, Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Brian Vickers and Matt Kenseth.
Will there be a 13th different winner today?
Tires and Track
A few teams had trouble this weekend with left rear tires. The problem often was that teams had the tire below Goodyear's recommended minimum air pressure. If teams don't follow the guidelines during the race, they could have problems.
Another key issue could be the track. Brad Keselowski mentioned there could be some issues after he won Saturday's Nationwide race.
"There's a sealer that is put in between the cracks and holds the track together,'' Keselowski said. "It looked to me like (Saturday) that all got ripped out of the track, which exposes the cracks and leaves them very vulnerable to peeling up chunks of asphalt. With the Cup cars running the speeds they do, with the downforce levels they have and the grip they have in general, with those being exposed there's a high potential of pulling a chunk out of the track like we've seen at Dover and Daytona and other places. Hopefully, that will get addressed beefore (Sunday). It could be a story line.''
A NASCAR spokesperson said that officials inspect the track each night and each day. The spokesperson said Sunday morning that NASCAR officials saw no issues with the track after inspecting it.

The heart of Friday Night Lights meets the emotional resonance and nostalgia of My So-Called Life in this moving debut novel about tradition, family, love, and football.
As the high school football coach in his small, rural Maryland town, Dean is a hero who reorganized the athletic program and brought the state championship to the community. When he married Nicole, the beloved town sweetheart, he seemed to have it all - until his troubled wife committed suicide. Now everything Dean thought he knew is thrown off kilter as Nicole's death forces him to reevaluate all of his relationships, including those with his team and his three children.
Dean's 11-year old son, Robbie, is withdrawing at home and running away from school. Bry, who is only eight, is struggling to understand his mother's untimely death and his place in the family. Eighteen-year-old Stephanie, a freshman at Swarthmore, is torn between her new identity as a rebellious and sophisticated college student, her responsibility toward her brothers, and reeling from missing her mother.
As Dean struggles to continue to lead his team to victory in light of his overwhelming personal loss, he must fix his fractured family - and himself. When a new family emergency arises, Dean discovers that he'll never view the world in the same way again.
Transporting listeners to the heart of small-town America, Home Field is an unforgettable, poignant story about the pull of the past and the power of forgiveness.

Hope there is a sequel! Would love to tie up some of the loose ends.
"fantastic "
I toggled between reading and listening because I had a hard time stopping either. the emotions of each character were portrayed beautifully. my favorite character was Stephanie but I also lived Dean. he is a man who has a hard time sharing emotions and knows what he needs to do but has a hard time actually doing it. loved him.

Unloved – Guilty of Love
Spearheaded by David Holmes, in collaboration with film and TV composer Keefus Ciancia (True Detective), and songwriter-vocalist Jade Vincent (The Jade Vincent Experiment), Unloved are born of 60's girl groups, influenced by the great George 'Shadow' Morton, Jack Nitzsche, the soundtracks of Morricone, Nino Rota and the electronic sounds of Raymond Scott.
David met Keefus and Jade in LA in 2013, that same summer Keefus and Jade started a regular Tuesday night residency in Los Feliz called The Rotary Room. A collective of great musicians, including Woody Jackson (Red Dead Redemption), Gus Seyffert (Beck, The Black Keys), Jay Bellerose (T Bone Burnett) and Deantoni Parks (John Cale), forming informal ensembles curated by Jade, Keefus and David Piltch, with David Holmes invited to DJ between each band.
These common themes and sonic adventures led to the birth of 'UNLOVED', evoking the sounds and spirit of The Shangri La's, Bruno Nicolai, The Paris Sisters, The BBC Radiophonic Workshop and Phil Spector's wall of sound.
A band was then brought together at Woody Jackson's VOX Studios in LA, where the sound they had envisaged could actually be realised. Further Unloved contributors have included the legendary Jim Keltner (John Lennon), Wayne Kramer (MC5) and Tommy Morgan (The Beach Boys, Elvis).

Haven't seen one Mod of console that's been done professionally like this SuperTendo Mod by Marshall. It's a SNES system, Marshall turn the machine into a portable handheld console with his brilliant Mod skill. If someone with lack of news update seeing this stuff, they will think it as a new handheld gaming gadget produced by a larger company (and probably Made in China or something). But it isn't. It's a professional customization by Marshall, and you won't be able to find it selling elsewhere other than build it yourself. Check out the following image for more wowziness.

About Geeks for Tots:
Geeks for Tots is a grassroots contest started with the simple goal of encouraging donations to Toys for Tots via a contest. This is the third year that the contest has been run. Previously it was known as "Joes for Tots.
One Response to Geeks For Tots
How exciting! I was just thinking about the Angel Tree the other day (which I think is due to the fact that too many stores are already putting out Christmas crap). Regardless, I think this is a great idea.

[Ed. – The level cited in this report is definitely up from what it used to be. Keep in mind that our ships have an obligation in an international strait, like the Strait of Hormuz, to refrain from taking retaliatory action that could involve breaching an expeditious-transit profile. As annoying as it is, the Navy is doing the right thing to maintain calm and not overreact. While Obama is in the White House, nothing good can come of upsetting the status quo — which is just what Iran wants to get us to do.]
The series of encounters on Monday took place as the [USS] New Orleans sailed in international waters through the strait. Gen. Votel [CENTCOM], on a swing through the Middle East this week, voiced concern about how quickly such an encounter could turn lethal for the ship, which was carrying about 700 Marines.
In the case of Monday's incident, U.S. officials didn't consider the Iranian ships to be technically harassing the American warship, but said they came unacceptably close to doing so. Iran officials couldn't immediately be reached to comment.
The encounters might have been considered more dramatic if they weren't so common. American Navy ships reported about 300 incidents with Iranian vessels during 2015, according to data provided by the Navy's Fifth Fleet. Most of those "interactions," as the Navy calls them, are considered safe or don't rise to the level of harassment, according to Navy officials.
Navy officials essentially grade Iranian naval behavior on a curve. They said that the way the Iranians behave typically, even when they don't actually harass American warships, is still not the way most professional navies behave at sea. …
"It's very common for them to come up to within 300, 500 yards of us, and then they'll turn, or parallel us and stop," said Lt. Forrest Griggs, the New Orleans's operations officer. "We try not to become accustomed to that because we don't want to become complacent."

Jump Numbers
By Artgig Studio
This app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.
"One of the best math apps for kids we've used.." - Apps Playground
* Children's Technology Review Editor's Choice *
* Parents' Choice Award Winner *
"Kids are so excited about saving the Snortles that they don't realize they're building core addition and multiplication skills along the way." - Common Sense Media
Skip Counting provides the foundation for math fluency in calculation, number sense and as the basis of multiplication and division. The award winning Jump Numbers is a flexible and fun skip counting game to excite and engage mathematicians of all ages and ability.
The Snortles lived happily in their favorite volcano until the day it popped! Now they're scattered and floating in the sea. Jump from one number to the next in a sequence, saving Snortles and earning beach balls as you go. Squish numbers together to make the next number on your path.
Watch out for Stompers and fuses or they'll send your Snortles flying!
- Practice skip counting and mental math as you squish numbers together
- Apply multiplication knowledge to figure out the next number in your path
- Game difficulty adapts to your own skills, so you will be challenged, but not overwhelmed
- Customizable skills let you target specific math practice
- Hints are always available, because sometimes the obvious just isn't obvious
- Make your path in any direction you like - where it leads is up to you
- Every game screen is dynamically generated, so you never play the same game twice
- Earn bonus beach balls to play with at the beach party!
- 6 environments to cross, 140+ Snortles to rescue, so many numbers to squish
- Play and replay levels to rescue all the Snortles
- Option to turn off Stompers and fuses (time pressure) for a more relaxing math journey
- Unlimited user accounts
The default mode of play in Jump is adaptive difficulty. This means the game will automatically adjust the difficulty for each player. The game starts out easy, counting by 1s and 2s, but before you know it, you may find yourself counting by 7s, 8s or 9s and things can add up quickly! The more Snortles you save and the more math you do, the more challenging the game will become.
If you want more fine-grained control for targeted math practice, you can "customize skills" from the options menu:
- Choose the specific "Count by" numbers a player is presented with, or play the original adaptive game.
- You can also choose a random "Start at" number for a much tougher challenge.
Add as many users as you like. Individual skill level and progress are saved within each player profile.
The game designers at Artgig Apps come from a background of educational software development and we put lots of TLC into every detail of each app we create to ensure a fun and engaging learning experience.

Tatiana P from Moscow
Taking into consideration my requirements, she put together a list of suitable properties and I went on an inspection trip with the company. In Bodrum I was shown dozens of properties by the Bodrum team. I asked lots of questions about each of them, and was frankly told about the merits and the drawbacks of each, and what to look at (I was totally unfamiliar with the peculiarities of the marine climate). Four days later, I returned home with the confidence that had made the right decision and determined to buy a villa, which was not originally on my list. Acquainted with me, knowing my tastes and style, Property Turkey manager showed me just exactly what I needed!
For the Russian citizens the process of buying in Turkey is not easy, but thanks to the employees of the company and it's Turkish solicitor Mehmet Sinop, I did not feel any unease.
And, most importantly, I was always confident in the integrity and transparency of the legal history of the property – the one that I bought and all the others I was shown.
Time has proved that I was right - the purchase was made a year ago. The fact that I have now that I've "tried out" their purchase, speaks for itself.
I would like to express my gratitude to Property Turkey. Katya, Ayne, Samet, Darren - thanks a lot!
Tatiana P, Moscow.
