I have a lot of extra fat below my belly button and a little above it how can I get rid of it? I have tried walking and exercising and it just doesn't seem to work.
Getting Rid of Fat Above and Bellow the Belly Button?
Doctor Answers 5
Getting Rid of Tummy Fat
Hi amber,
Surgical options for removing excess tummy fat include liposuction and/or tummy tuck. Whether or not you would be a good candidate for surgery depends on several factors:
- What is your BMI (Body Mass Index)? Surgery is not safe if you are significantly overweight.
- If you have loose skin and fat in the lower tummy (after pregnancies or weight loss) , TT with liposuciton is a consideration.
- If you have never had children and the tummy skin is firm, liposuction alone could work.
A consultation with a PS in your area should be helpful.
Good Luck
Getting rid of belly fat
A picture would be so valuable here! However, if you have great skin and muscle tone, liposuction would be possible. If your skin is lax and loose, a tummy tuck would be the best. Visit with the best plastic surgeons in your area to find out more about these options.

Body Contouring Surgery may be right for you
Hi Amber,
Not knowing your height and weight, as well as whether or not you've had children handicaps my ability to answer this question precisely. That being said, liposuction is an excellent option for removing fat. If you don't have significant stretch marks or a history of massive weight loss, your skin may have enough elasticity to allow for a really nice postoperative appearance. If you have a lot of stretch marks and a bulge of your tummy, this may indicate that you need a tummy tuck.
Your best bet is consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps.

Abdominoplasty vs Liposuction
You may be a good candidate for a tummy tuck or abdominal liposuction. It all depends on how much of loose skin you have. It also is important for us to know your height and weight to determine if liposuction would be a good option.
Hope that helps you out.

Liposuciton could be a possibility
We do not know your height and weight, which would be helpful. Another consideration is whether you have had children and the condition of your abdominal wall muscles. In general, if you only have a problem area around your umbilicus and below, liposuction may be a surgical consideration for you. It sounds like you have tried by exercise and diet already. Look for a board certified plastic surgeon and see what your options are.

Cleansing & fiber help you keep your bowel movements regular
Q. Dear Judy, I don't have regular bowel movements—sometimes only once every other day. Do you think I should take a cleanser to help me out? —Maria
A. Good elimination means 1-3 bowel movements a day. You should not have stools that are hard or difficult to eliminate—they should be smooth on the outside. Doing an internal cleanse is a good idea to start fresh by cleaning you out, especially if you have a long history of constipation. Otherwise, make sure you consume adequate amounts of fiber and water everyday. Eat more fiber-rich foods, especially green vegetables and fruit.
Fiber supplements such as psyllium powder add bulk to your stool. Alfalfa tablets do the same—start with 3-4 tablets twice a day and increase until you get the desired results.
Another favorite of mine is Lindberg Super Colon Health, a blend of psyllium and other herbs that have a gentle laxative effect and can be used every day. —Judy

Walk this way, just for a day.
On Saturday, August 25, the Department of Transportation (DOT) set up a temporary pedestrian plaza in Astoria, allowing residents to relax, stroll and sample their neighborhood with more open space, after locals expressed mixed feelings about the proposed piazza.
DOT officials set up tables, chairs, umbrellas and planters along the intersection of 30th Avenue and Newtown Avenue. Residents sat at tables, sipping coffee and chatting with friends while enjoying the sunny summer weather.
"I feel like Astoria lacks outdoor spaces where people can sit around," said local resident Bryan Cronk, who was spotted sitting in the pedestrian plaza. "If it's kept clean, it could be kind of cool."
Cronk said he avoids the nearby Athens Square Park — another outdoor space — because of its lack of cleanliness and upkeep.
Passers-by had mixed feelings about the shut-down street, however.
"Is this permanent?" shouted a man walking by, who said he was skeptical of how traffic patterns would be managed in the already somewhat congested area.
"This one-day event provided Astoria residents and visitors the opportunity to experience a plaza in the neighborhood and to see for themselves the benefits that safe, accessible pedestrian space can provide," said DOT spokesperson Scott Gastel.
Community Board 1 District Manager Lucille Hartmann said the group supported the trial run but could not comment on her opinion of the plaza. She said the possibility of installing a permanent plaza would be discussed during a public hearing on September 11.

A lot of folks said these early B-tubers were Recto clones. They are in that ball park. But I believe the voicing is different to a recto. Which isn't a problem for me. It isn't as generic as every other metal head shlubbing a mesa around. (I can say that cuz I'm too broke to buy one) There is plenty of tuberific gain on tap. I personally like the way a 50-60 watt head breaks up differently than a 100 watt. The EQ settings allow me to get a smoothe creamly lead tone, like I like it. And the cleans aren't too shabby. Maybe better than a recto- which isn't really known for it's cleans. Relax haters I know Mesa's sound better cranked. Anyway, I think for the price you can not do better in a guitar amp. It hasn't ever let me down. And It survived a cross country UPS journey. I believe the dude I bought it from was in Delaware, to me in Utah.
Overall Impression — 8
I play 80's-90's influenced hard rock/metal. I have a demo track on my page if you care to hear the amp. The production value isn't great, but you can get the jist. Anywho, I jumped out on a limb to buy this online untested. And I couldn't be more satisfied, given the money I spent. I actually wouldn't mind scoring another one to run in stereo.
Reliability & Durability — 8
Like I said, I've never had a problem. Knocking on wood. I have giged out and rehearsed with it for over a year, no issues. I know b-52's rep isn't stellar. But hell even Mesas break down. Thank you China for doing a bang up job on mine. I have to put 19 more characters in this field before I can submit the review. Damn, I've gone on too long now.
Features — 8
This is a lesser known model of B-52's foray into tube amps. Its very similar in features to an AT-100, only with two power tubes instead of four. The architecture is a high gain 6L6 format with a tube rectifier option (it can be switched 3 ways, tube/blend/SS) Like the AT this is a 2+1 channel amp. There is a second volume control(boost) that shares the same EQ on the lead channel. It has a crappy contour setting I don't utilize (Mine is run full on so there is no mid cut) If you want scooped tone you can do that with the EQ knobs.

Village activist and campaigner
Village activist and campaigner
Born: September 6, 1925; Died: February 18, 2014
Loading article content
Robert (Bob) Crawford, who has died aged 88, was a lifelong resident of the village of Carmunnock on the south side of Glasgow and played a major role in preserving its historic Glebe as an open space for future generations when it was threatened with development in the 1960s and in achieving Carmunnock's conservation village status.
He was deeply involved in all aspects of village life. There was often a knock at the door late in the evening, a hurried conversation which concluded that something needed to be done, followed by a succession of meetings in the front room in a haze of cigarette smoke until matters were sorted out. He was at various times chairman of the Carmunnock Ratepayers' Association and Carmunnock Preservation Society among others.
Although he was a village boy through and through, he was in fact born in Ascog Street in Govanhill, where his father Charles was a teacher. He had an elder brother, Tom, who died of disease during the Second World War whilst serving with the Royal Artillery. Tom is buried with a Commonwealth War Graves Commission headstone in the family grave next to his parents in the now sadly derelict graveyard at Netherton in Castlemilk.
He attended Carmunnock Primary School as both his father and son did. He then went on to secondary school at Queen's Park School in Mount Florida, where he eventually became head boy - not appointed by the staff, as he always used to remind folk with a smile on his face, but elected by his fellow pupils.
When he left school, it was still wartime, and having done a bit in the Home Guard beforehand, he like, many others of the same age, was called up for national service and sent for basic infantry training to Catterick Camp in Yorkshire, arriving on the station platform to be greeted by the newspaper hoardings announcing Japan's surrender.
After six weeks of square bashing, he was called into his company commander's office and sent off for officer training at Sandhurst, an experience he thoroughly enjoyed and spoke fondly of for many years. He was commissioned as a 2nd Lt into the Highland Light Infantry and spent the remainder of his national service in Rafah in Palestine (now in the Gaza Strip).
After being demobbed, he enrolled at Glasgow University to undertake a social sciences course, and on day one he met his future wife, Hazel Hawthorne. Exactly two years after they first met, on October 4, 1950, they were married at Wardlaw Hill Church in Rutherglen.
After a few years of married life in Rutherglen and East Kilbride, he returned with his family, which had grown with the arrival of two children, Stuart and Hazel Ann, to Carmunnock and moved into the house at 2 Woodside Gardens, designed by Hazel, and there the family spent more than 50 happy years.
He worked as a personnel manager for most of his working life and was employed by a number of companies, including Hoover, Rolls Royce, the Empire Aluminium Company, Rank Hovis Macdougall, Allied Bakeries, the Daily Record, and lastly Loganair. He eventually retired at the age of 66½, having particularly enjoyed working with the airline which had given him the opportunity to fly around the Scottish islands whilst pursuing his duties.
He had many talents, as did many of his generation who sometimes appeared to be good at almost everything. As a younger man he was, by all accounts, a good footballer; asked once, in the knowledge that he was a good golfer, whether he had been better at golf or football, and he replied "football", and he played for many years with the Carmunnock Amateurs. He was also musical and could play almost any instrument by ear, but the violin was his best instrument, although he always used to say he was only asked to play publicly at the end of an event to ensure a speedy clearance of the venue.
Family aside, his lifelong love was golf. He had joined Cathkin Braes Golf Club at the age of 12 and remained a member of the rest of his life. He played for the team for many years - at one point he was playing off a handicap of three - and won a number of the club's medal competitions over the years. He was elected club captain and eventually made honorary president for life, a position which he deemed a great honour.
He was a fully committed member of the club all his years, a committee member, and a forceful advocate of maintaining standards of behaviour and dress in the clubhouse. He was never club champion, although he played in the final at least once.
Hazel died in December 2005 and Bob spent the remainder of his life initially in the family home in Carmunnock and latterly in the Erskine Home for ex-servicemen in Bishopton, where he was expertly and kindly cared for by the staff. He was visited often by his friends there, but he succumbed to dementia in the last years of his life which severely restricted his activity and interaction with his friends and family.
He had so many talents and attributes - he was intelligent, thoughtful, musical, funny, a great golfer, a leader and so much else. Perhaps the words of others sum him up best; once, long ago, he was described as the most popular man in the west of Scotland; more recently one of his friends said he was quite simply the nicest man she had ever met.
He is survived by his son Stuart and daughter Hazel Ann, and six grandchildren, Jamie, Mark, Francesca, India, Hector and Millicent.

An inspired Toronto FC could not quite pull off an upset, but held on Tuesday for a 1-1 draw with Mexico's Pumas UNAM to stay alive at the CONCACAF Champions League.
TFC will now need some help in order to advance to the quarterfinals of the competition next March — but showed considerable heart in giving the Mexican side a game two weeks after being humiliated 4-0 down South.
Surprisingly, it was Toronto that opened the scoring at BMO Field when Peri Marosevic converted a fine pass from Danny Koevermans who controlled the ball well in the box. The young forward patiently found an unguarded corner and beat 'keeper Odin Patino in the 35th minute.
"It was a wide-open lane. I knew that with a team like Pumas, you're not going to get a lot of shots on goal, so when the opportunities come, you better take them. I'm glad it worked out," Marosevic said.
"(It) was completely different to how we played in Mexico," he said.
"We wanted to make a statement, prove that we still want this, we still want to be a part of this CONCACAF and take it as far as we can."
Pumas leads Group C with eight points with one game remaining against last-place Tauro, which takes on FC Dallas — which like TFC has seven points — on Wednesday in Panama.
Dallas and Toronto will meet in Texas on Oct. 18 in a match that could decide who joins Pumas in the next round — barring a Tauro upset.
Marosevic thinks Tauro can help out Toronto on Wednesday and hopes that final meeting against Dallas — his former team, a side he asked to be released from after being buried on the bench — will give him a chance for revenge.
"I'm glad that it's coming down to Dallas," he said.
For head coach Aron Winter, Tuesday's result was a mixed bag of emotions. Pleased that so many young players stepped up for a large number of absent starters, but resigned to the fact that three points were attainable.
"Before the game, you should be happy with one point, but after the game, you must also be a little bit disappointed that you have given it away easily," Winter said.
The home side got lucky with two shots hitting the post behind Milos Kocic, but could not contain Pumas, which came out strong to start the second half.
Marco Palacios finally equalized in the 52nd-minute, heading in a corner kick.
TFC had played conservatively with the lead and it cost them, but went after the full three points from there, coming close on a couple of occasions.
Winter said getting a draw against Pumas, a richer, more decorated club, was an achievement.
"They have got more quality than us. Last year they were the champions of Mexico, that says a lot," he said.
Still, the Reds were dejected about how they blew the chance to gain the full three points after leaving the field to loud cheers following a strong first half.
Pumas controlled the play from the start of the second half and Marco Palacios finally headed in a corner kick in the 52nd-minute to equalize.
Conceding on corner kicks has been a problem for TFC all season.
"We kind of let it slip away on the set piece," Marosevic said.
"We have to be strong in the box. Every single person has to take responsibility … You have to know your role you have to know which guy you pick up, how close you are to the guy. You have to attack the ball and it got away from us a little bit."
The Reds lost defender Richard Eckersley to a hamstring injury, but Winter said Plata should return on Saturday.
In its biggest game of the year, Toronto FC had to take on Pumas UNAM minus four players — two of them extremely influential.
Captain and lynchpin Torsten Frings sat due to yellow card accumulation, while Eric Avila who has added much-needed creativity to the offence was ineligible to play having suited up for FC Dallas earlier this year in this tournament.
While Mikael Yourrasowsky has been in and out of favour this season, his absence, along with that of fellow midfielder Terry Dunfield — also due to yellow card accumulation — hurt the team's depth. Dunfield has performed well alongside or replacing fellow Canadian international Julian de Guzman in the midfield.
Further, forward Joao Plata was out again due to injury.
On the plus side for the Reds, with a key league match looming in Mexico, Pumas head coach Guillermo Vazquez elected to go with a younger lineup than the one that thrashed Toronto 4-0 earlier this month.
While 'keeper Odin Patino started along with some of his defenders, Martin Bravo, who scored three of the four goals, was on the bench, along with Efrain Velarde who scored the other.

Intel Core i7 4960X (Ivy Bridge E) Reviewby Anand Lal Shimpi on September 3, 2013 4:10 AM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
- Intel
- Ivy Bridge
- Ivy Bridge-E
Gaming Performance
Chances are that any gamer looking at an IVB-E system is also considering a pretty ridiculous GPU setup. NVIDIA sent along a pair of GeForce GTX Titan GPUs, totalling over 14 billion GPU transistors, to pair with the 4960X to help evaluate its gaming performance. I ran the pair through a bunch of games, all at 1080p and at relatively high settings. In some cases you'll see very obvious GPU limitations, while in other situations we'll see some separation between the CPUs.
I haven't yet integrated this data into Bench, so you'll see a different selection of CPUs here than we've used elsewhere. All of the primary candidates are well represented here. There's Ivy Bridge E and Sandy Bridge E of course, in addition to mainstread IVB/SNB. I threw in Gulftown and Nehalem based parts, as well as AMD's latest Vishera SKUs and an old 6-core Phentom II X6.
Bioshock Infinite
Bioshock Infinite is Irrational Games' latest entry in the Bioshock franchise. Though it's based on Unreal Engine 3 – making it our obligatory UE3 game – Irrational had added a number of effects that make the game rather GPU-intensive on its highest settings. As an added bonus it includes a built-in benchmark composed of several scenes, a rarity for UE3 engine games, so we can easily get a good representation of what Bioshock's performance is like.
We're running the benchmark mode at its highest quality defaults (Ultra DX11) with DDOF enabled.
We're going to see a lot of this I suspect. Whenever we see CPU dependency in games, it tends to manifest as being very dependent on single threaded performance. Here Haswell's architectural advantages are appearent as the two quad-core Haswell parts pull ahead of the 4960X by about 8%. The 4960X does reasonably well but you don't really want to spend $1000 on a CPU just for it to come in 3rd I suppose. With two GPUs, the PCIe lane advantage isn't good for much.
Metro: Last Light
Metro: Last Light is the latest entry in the Metro series of post-apocalyptic shooters by developer 4A Games. Like its processor, Last Light is a game that sets a high bar for visual quality, and at its highest settings an equally high bar for system requirements thanks to its advanced lighting system. We run Metro: LL at its highest quality settings, tesselation set to very high and with 16X AF/SSAA enabled.
The tune shifts a bit with Metro: LL. Here the 4960X actually pulls ahead by a very small amount. In fact, both of the LGA-2011 6-core parts manage very small leads over Haswell here. The differences are small enough to basically be within the margin of error for this benchmark though.
Sleeping Dogs
A Square Enix game, Sleeping Dogs is one of the few open world games to be released with any kind of benchmark, giving us a unique opportunity to benchmark an open world game. Like most console ports, Sleeping Dogs' base assets are not extremely demanding, but it makes up for it with its interesting anti-aliasing implementation, a mix of FXAA and SSAA that at its highest settings does an impeccable job of removing jaggies. However by effectively rendering the game world multiple times over, it can also require a very powerful video card to drive these high AA modes.
Our test here is run at the game's Extreme Quality defaults.
Sleeping Dogs shows similar behavior of the 4960X making its way to the very top, with Haswell hot on its heels.
Tomb Raider (2013)
The simply titled Tomb Raider is the latest entry in the Tomb Raider franchise, making a clean break from past titles in plot, gameplay, and technology. Tomb Raider games have traditionally been technical marvels and the 2013 iteration is no different. Like all of the other titles here, we ran Tomb Raider at its highest quality (Ultimate) settings. Motion Blur and Screen Effects options were both checked.
With the exception of the Celeron G540, nearly all of the parts here perform the same. The G540 doesn't do well in any of our tests, I confirmed SLI was operational in all cases but its performance was just abysmal regardless.
Total War: Shogun 2
Our next benchmark is Shogun 2, which is a continuing favorite to our benchmark suite. Total War: Shogun 2 is the latest installment of the long-running Total War series of turn based strategy games, and alongside Civilization V is notable for just how many units it can put on a screen at once. Even 2 years after its release it's still a very punishing game at its highest settings due to the amount of shading and memory those units require.
We ran Shogun 2 in its DX11 High Quality benchmark mode.
We see roughly equal performance between IVB-E and Haswell here.
GRID 2 is a new addition to our suite and our new racing game of choice, being the very latest racing game out of genre specialty developer Codemasters. Intel did a lot of publicized work with the developer on this title creating a high performance implementation of Order Independent Transparency for Haswell, so I expect it to be well optimized for Intel architectures.
We ran GRID 2 at Ultra quality defaults.
We started with a scenario where Haswell beat out IVB-E, and we're ending with the exact opposite. Here the 10% advantage is likely due to the much larger L3 cache present on both IVB-E and SNB-E. Overall you'll get great gaming performance out of the 4960X, but even with two Titans at its disposal you won't see substantially better frame rates than a 4770K in most cases.

Oscarcharliezulu - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkThis reminds me, of years ago when I had access to the first DEC Alpha with its super fast clock speed and fast IPC, a IBM AIX RS6000, a HP9000 PA-RISC and a multi-socket Sparc. The alpha was the fastest by a long way versus multi core even on our SAP systems. I still use this as a rule of thumb that for most tasks a faster clocked processor is better most of the time, except for very specific situations - and in general you will know what they are. I'm battling with what to do with my next upgrade, I really wanted a top end ivy-e but it really doesn't seem worth it compared to a 4770, even with my need to run big VM's. he'll its not enough faster than my i2500s ivy imac to be worth it.

DPOverLord - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkvery interesting review coming from an i7-930 O/C to 4.3GHZ makes you debate if it makes sense to upgrade to the 4930K and a RIVE.
For those considering there is also another benchmark review of the 3930K vs I7-930 on 2, 3, & 4 way TITAN SLI GK110 Scaling at 7680 x 1440 and 7680 x 1600. Worth a look. Reply

Fierce Guppy - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkShould nVidia's shadowplay turn out to be rubbish then I could use that CPU for encoding recorded gameplay, otherwise there's no benefit in having a 4960X over a 4770K. It won't improve my gaming experience any. Two GTX 780s will do that. Reply
scorpyclone - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkThis is a great article for informing us about the latest and greatest architecture and chips, anyway I too have stuck with my powerhouse system since 2006, mine is the Q9550 and P35 mobo, DDR2 second generation SSD and so forth!
It has been rock solid and frankly I don't think I remember the last time it crashed, come to think of it it has never crashed! (...and I am able to have all my progs running plus 30 plus instances of chrome, yeah I should do something about that!)
So there you have it, now i m looking at the LGA 2011 with X79 and maybe (If i can convince myself of the benefits of having a six core system) an i7 4920 or40, ...but will probably go with their 4 core 10 or 12 meg cache cpus...the difference in having 2 more cores is 200 bux! I don't have any problem spending 3 bills on a nice CPU, but when it comes to 2 more bills just to get 2 more cores, I really cant convince myself of that, since i can think of so many other ways to spend those two bills with more return so to speak!
So yeah building a powerhouse of a system that costs a little more but is rock solid and still faster than 90 percent of what is out there is worth it for me, and I am sure others will say the same!
Or maybe I can just get the better P45 chipset, and stick with this system for another two to three years! Reply

SeanFL - Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - linkI edit video from time to time and am currently using an i7-2600k system built in May of 2011. I've been looking at the 6 core i7-3930k, but not sure if it provides enough of an increase to build a new system. Are we closer to an 8 core solution coming out under $1000 in 2014? What's on the way? Reply
SeanFL - Wednesday, January 15, 2014 - linktypo, meant looking at the i7-4930k. Still wondering, is 8 core under $1k on the way this year? Reply
MordeaniisChaos - Thursday, April 17, 2014 - linkYou guys should really, really include ArmA as a benchmark for CPU gaming performance, as it sees pretty much constant improvements as the CPU gets more potent. I do not understand why more sites don't use A3 for CPU benchmarking when they touch on gaming performance. Reply

Dr. Romanelli is about to drop his latest work with Converse, in what will be called the Beetle vs. Popeye Collection. Along with photos of the high-top Chuck Taylors, we also include an interview with Dr. Romanelli himself for a closer look into the collaboration. The conversation reaffirms Romanelli's deep appreciation of American history and the impact it has on his work. He reveals that this Converse collection is to be based on the classic Army vs. Navy rivalry, with Beetle Bailey representing the Army and Popeye the Sailor Man representing the Navy. By doing this, Romanelli brings together three historic brands, along with his own unique custom sneaker making talents, to create something uniquely American in two pairs of beautiful Chucks. These shoes are set to drop exclusively at Bloomingdales on October 15.
Do you have a personal story about the Chuck Taylor you can tell us? What is your relationship to the shoe?
As early as I can remember I've had a pair of Chucks in my closet. I'd say I have a pretty serious personal affinity with the shoe. In early 2000 when I decided to experiment with the "Dr. Romanelli" brand, I chose to rework a collection of Chucks as my first project. I had started collecting zippers around that time so I manifested a unique hybrid Chuck Taylor with patchwork panels and zippers integrated on the tongue.
This is your third (?) collaboration with Converse, how did you approach this differently than in past collabs?
It's actually my fifth. This collab was inspired by the last "USA" Cup Sole drop. Americana plays a major role in the Dr. Romanelli brand. I've always appreciated the classic Army vs. Navy rivalry our nation has celebrated since 1890, when the two Academy football squads first faced off. That said, I approached the Army vs. Navy release differently in that there are two parts to the equation: Beetle Bailey as Army vs. Popeye as Navy. Although they take on the personality of two of the world's most famous cartoon characters, the shoes are designed to evoke our nation's core military divisions. They are a quintessential piece of a larger collection and an even larger story.
What was your inspiration behind the design, and can you tell us a bit about the cartoon characters you are working with and how they came to be muses for Converse shoes?
My inspiration was the classic Army vs. Navy rivalry. Each shoe pays particular tribute to textiles and classic designs from their own branch of the service. The Beetle Chuck salutes a classic Vietnam-era jungle boot while the Popeye Chuck captures the essence of sailor man via the authentic, rich wool upper and rope laces. The interiors of both shoes are lined with vintage cartoon strips – completing the connection back to their respective properties.
We always talk about America as the land of opportunity, where anyone can achieve their dreams. In that same tradition, Popeye and Beetle Bailey both went from humble beginnings to become two of the most iconic characters in comic art history. Popeye began life as a walk-on character in Thimble Theatre, Elzie Segar's popular comic strip about Olive Oyl and her family. The public liked him so much that he quickly emerged as the star of the strip. Beetle started out as a college cut-up and it wasn't until creator Mort Walker put him in the Army that his popularity soared. Today, both of these characters are loved the world over.
Collaborations are about bringing together things that fit naturally and yield inspiring results. These collaborations are clearly great looking shoes. Can you tell me your thoughts on why this is a great collaboration?
It's clearly a great collab – first and foremost because of the epic history all three of these brands share, with Converse dating back to the early 1900s, Popeye to 1929 and Beetle to 1950. Additionally, all three have strong American roots and there is something special about that. The collab seems right to me; it's one of those drops that just makes sense.

Reading List from Wine & Culture Class at Napa Valley College
I was a latecomer to the class and it showed. I brought no plate or sliverware and worse, I was full. I had already had my dinner. Paul Wagner, our teacher had eaten dinner too, but he managed to put away a full plate, explaining "I'm a professional."
George Sainstbury would approve. In the introduction to his Notes from a Cellar-Book Saintsbury's editor Thomas Pinney says, "To delicate and fastidious tastes, such an appetite may seem coarse and undiscriminating; but there are others who may find it splendid, even heroic. The capacity to enjoy is, after all, a virtue. Saintsbury certainly had it, and in superlative measure."
The class is A Cultural Appreciation of Wine at Napa Valley College and learnin' never tasted so good. Wine flows. Food is savored. All in superlative measure.
The serendipity of a good read is also in superlative measure.
I probably would not have stumbled upon Notes from a Cellar-Book if it had not been the only book from the class reading list that was still available to this latecomer. It is a gem. More about that later - for now, let me share the class reading list - I plan to read them all.

But he and the Lions say his recovery is on schedule, and he is optimistic he will be ready to start the 2007 regular season in his usual spot atop the depth chart. "I guess it would make sense to have insurance," Jones said Tuesday. "To me, it doesn't matter who they bring in here or who's in the backfield in competition with me, because I'll win.

Doctors loose hope in the recovery of Ahmad Zaki
Doctor Yasser Abdul Qader, who heads the medical team treating prominent Egyptian actor Ahmad Zaki, has announced that the actor is still breathing but he is suffering from a permanent coma as a result of the brain stroke. The doctor stressed that treatment at this point for the actor is hopeless and his fate lies in the hands of God.
According to the London based daily, Alsharq Al Awsat, Dr. Yasser added that the actor's condition is very critical but is stable, in the sense that he is not experiencing any improvements or setbacks. Dr. Yasser noted that the stroke was expected due to the deterioration of Ahmad's health and the increase of cancer tumors, and the actor was aware that he will be entering a death-defying phase, which is what actually happened.
Doctors denied that the actor's heart has stopped beating, stressing that his heart is functioning despite the death of brain cells. Doctors have revealed that they are giving the actor medication to dissolve blood clotting. The doctors added that the brain is not functioning and the actor has been in a deep coma for the past four days and he is being given large dosage of oxygen to keep breathing.
The past few days were the most harsh on Ahmad's son Haitham, who has not left the side of his father for one moment. Haitham's state of mind kept getting worse especially after reading and hearing shocking rumors that his father has passed away, forcing him to stop reading newspapers of even answer his phone.
The visitors list for Ahmad has increased tremendously as other artists and fans crowded the hospital to try to see him. The excess of people forced hospital officials to prohibit anyone from entering or seeing the actor stressing that the matter has gotten out of hand.

Bev Petrossian, leadership and learning manager at Skipton Building Society, received the accolade at the society's annual conference.
Bev, who has been with the society for two years, won the affection of her colleagues because of the encouragement and motivation she gives to others. She said: "I feel really special to win this award and I am grateful for all the fantastic comments from people. To be so publicly recognised for doing a job I really enjoy is fantastic.
"Other people's obvious delight for me is one of the things that epitomises what makes Skipton a great place to work."
Claire Davey, who nominated Bev, said: "Bev has made a significant difference."

David Gordon Green's patiently observed, often unsettlingly violent drama can't help but feel overly familiar.
It's a dog-eat-dog world, as two ferociously snapping canines make literally clear in one of many darkly humorous asides in "Joe," David Gordon Green's bleak and brutal examination of Southern small-town masculinity and its discontents. Having shown signs of returning to his indie roots with this year's well-received "Prince Avalanche," the director extends his flight from the commercial mainstream with a patiently observed, often unsettlingly violent drama that can't help but feel overly familiar in some of its particulars, rich in rural texture but low on narrative momentum or surprise. Nicolas Cage's excellent, tightly wound performance represents the film's most lucrative angle, but it won't be enough to lure average Joes to the arthouse.
Adapted by screenwriter Gary Hawkins from a 1991 novel by the late author Larry Brown, "Joe" superficially recalls Green's Southern-gothic thriller "Undertow," although it also bears some resemblance to his little-seen 2007 drama "Snow Angels" with its multi-character focus, incongruous comic touches and climactic eruption of violence. As usual with the director's artier excursions, there's a deliberate unevenness at work here, an off-center quality to the storytelling that intrigues as well as frustrates, as the film often willingly suspends traditional narrative satisfactions for the sake of color and atmosphere.
Still, the various digressions over the course of the drama's slow-building two hours all seem to suggest answers to one central question: What kind of man is Joe Ransom (Cage)? On the one hand, he gambles and drinks too much, hangs out at brothels, keeps a vicious bulldog, and has an alarming capacity for violence rooted in a vague criminal past. But on the other, he's humorous, good-spirited and something of a mildly crooked pillar of his community (unspecified, though the film was shot in Texas), someone who trusts others and inspires trust in return, not least from the hard-working crew of "tree poisoners" he runs on behalf of a local lumber company.
The newest and unlikeliest addition to this team is a young teenager named Gary Jones (Tye Sheridan) with a polite, persistent attitude and an excellent work ethic. That's more than can be said for Gary's dad, Wade (an outstanding Gary Poulter), a vituperative old drunk who, rather than look for work, would prefer to smack his son around and steal his hard-earned cash. Watching from the sidelines as Gary tries to defend himself, his younger sister and his helpless mother against this monstrous excuse for a husband and father, Joe feels his protective instincts awakened, though he knows that getting involved will cost him and possibly others. Meanwhile, another threat looms in the form of a ne'er-do-well (Ronnie Gene Blevins) itching for revenge after being humiliated by Joe in a recent brawl.
In presenting Joe and the audience with such unambiguous archetypes of good and evil, and encouraging the notion that sometimes blood must be shed in order to shield the innocent, the film strives for a mythic resonance grounded in its primal, close-to-nature setting. The atmosphere quivers with spiritual undertones of grace and menace: The camera at times hovers alongside the characters as though wielded by some invisible presence (actually Green's regular d.p., Tim Orr), while David Wingo and Jeff McIlwain's moody score puts the viewer in a metaphysical state of mind from the opening scenes. And when Joe takes a venomous snake in hand (a stunt Cage apparently performed sans protection or fear), there's even a biblical parallel or two for the taking.
As refreshing as it is to see Green returning to serious, character-driven material after the likes of "Your Highness" and "The Sitter," there's ultimately something more willed than organic about the story "Joe" tells and the indirect, morally inquisitive manner in which it tells it. What keeps the viewer watching are the sudden spasms of violence and the flashes of cynical humor, all qualities to be expected from this sort of white-trash gothic, but even the visceral charge of these individual scenes can't ward off a wearying inevitability that sets in around the halfway point. Predictably enough, women are essentially nonentities in this world of blood and testosterone, with Adriene Mishler doing what she can to breathe life into the role of Joe's part-time g.f.
As usual with Green's work in this vein, the rural details feel wholly authentic, the off-topic interludes often weirdly fascinating, as when Gary gets a crash course in the art of tree poisoning, or when Joe demonstrates the proper way to skin and slice a dangling deer carcass. (Rarely has a "no animals were harmed" notice come as more of a relief.) Green takes particular delight in indulging the banter of Joe's all-black lumber crew, played by real day laborers.
Another non-professional actor in the cast is Poulter, who died in March and thus didn't live to see his first and last screen performance. On the evidence here, the actor was a natural, playing an irredeemable scoundrel whose no-holds-barred nastiness has a way of polluting everyone and everything around him.
Sporting a grizzled beard, a slight paunch and several tattoos, Cage bristles with unpredictable energy yet still allows Joe's fundamental decency to shine through in an aces performance. Sheridan, who after "The Tree of Life," "Mud" and now "Joe" would seem to have the market cornered on sensitive Southern tykes, comes off a bit bland, but he has a winning rapport with his older co-star, particularly in a funny, moving extended bonding montage that, as set to a rare upbeat soundtrack selection, almost seems to belong in a different film.

Whether you are a hard working parent, desk jockey, weekend warrior or an elite athlete......Life Is A Sport! In order to get through life and perform it like a pro we need to have our bodies injury free and working the best for us. With all the random movements in life and the fact that most people don't do enough for themselves to prevent injuries, it's no wonder why a majority of people will have an unexpected injury in their lives or chronically be in some level of pain.
Pain is no fun! It affects everything you do and everyone around you. It takes moments and enjoyment away from your life and it doesn't have to be that way. Now due to modern Sports Science combined with the modern healthcare testing we can predict if someone is susceptible to an injury by taking them through a very specific test called The Movement Efficiency Test. Even though this tet is now the gold standard for many professional athletes in the NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, MLB, MLS and PGA, it is beneficial for any active individual from 8-88 years in age. From this test individuals will benefit from improved performance, decreased risk of injury, enhanced recovery and increased durability....all key criteria to get you through the Game of Life!

" The biggest open air festival in Europe is taking placing early August in Kostrzyn on the Oder, Poland "
Przystanek Woodstock is undoubtedly the largest music festival in the summer in Poland, attracting up to 400-500,000 people on occasions. It's often described as the biggest open air festival in Europe and was first set up in 1994. The translation is "Woodstock Stop (as in bus or train stop)" and it has moved location around the country over the last few years but has been hosted in the town of Kostrzyn nad Odra for the last 4 years, the town is right on the German border and usually sees a lot of Berliners joining.
Why do so many people come?
Easy, it's free! Organised by Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy (The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity), a charity foundation that usually pay for equipment, operations and tests for ill children, this festival is organised by them as a thanks to the people who supported them earlier in the year (they hold fund-raising concerts around the country on the 2nd Sunday of January)
What can you expect?
Hundreds of thousands of people, major traffic getting there either by road or on cramped trains. Very dusty (if it's hot) or muddy (if it's wet) landscape for camping on, lots of drunk people and a lot of punk, metal, reggae and folk bands.
Who plays there?
Like the majority of festivals, it looks after it's home talent firstly and you can normally expect to see the likes of blues band Dzem, punk bands Armia, reggae bands Daab and metal bands like Acid Drinkers and Vader. Additionally some bands from other countries play. Here is this year's line up:

All in all, not a bad line-up and plenty of genres covered, starting this weekend it's probably a bit late to grab a flight but with the combination of cheap flights to Berlin and Poznan of which neither are more than a 10 euros train journey away and the concert being free, you can't really go wrong! As long as you are not claustrophobic!

Technology has changed the landscape of how entrepreneurs do business. Many times, if a business has a presence on the Internet, they do not need a physical store or office space. But if they sell products, they still need a place to store their inventory. Sunnyside Self Storage in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, is adapting their business model to accommodate these types of businesses.
Sunnyside recently opened a suite of storage options that meet these new types of needs. Businesses wanting to store inventory can rent various sizes of storage units from a 3' x 4' unit up to one that is 10' x 24'. The contracts offer flexible short-term month-to-month renting options. This gives businesses a safe place to store products for only as long as needed and without having to rent more expensive space in an office building. As the business grows, it is easy for them to move into a larger storage unit.
Because they have a dedicated on-site manager, Sunnyside Self Storage can accept and sign for currier shipments. This allows the business owner the convenience of having orders delivered to the site without having to be present to receive it.
Sunnyside provides an online payment system for their customers using the SiteLink self storage management software. After setting up their online account, customers can make a payment, view their payment history, or e-mail the site manager when necessary.
Sunnyside Self Storage also recently opened a new, expanded moving supply showroom. They have a larger selection of different sizes of moving boxes, packing supplies, locks, and trailer hitches.
They extended their business hours because they realized that their customers needed better access to their storage units. They will open an hour earlier and stay open an hour later on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Their business hours are now Monday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 pm., Thursday through Saturday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Founded in 1979, Sunnyside Self Storage is family owned and operated. All of Sunnyside's storage units are ground-level and have easy drive-up access. They offer free moving dollies to customers who need them. They have 24-hour video surveillance and a fully fenced and gated yard. The gate requires a personal security pass code which helps keep the facility and customers' belongings safe and secure.

A potty went to the head of a Keighley tot – and got firmly stuck!
Family efforts to remove the receptacle from the playful two-year-old's head failed, and the fire service was called.
Firefighters cut through the plastic potty to bring relief to the boy, who was none the worse for his ordeal.
"We tried manipulating the potty off but in the end had to cut it," said a fire service spokesman.
"It was one of our more unusual calls!"
One crew from Keighley fire station attended the incident, in Braithwaite Walk, at about 11.30am today.

The new revelation is widely believed to be part of the telecoms giant's move into both the broadband and games spaces as it attempts to take on established companies like BT and AOL.
Ambitiously billing the vacancy as an opportunity to 'own the space,' it is thought that this is media mogul Rupert Murdoch's first major move into providing actual games content and services as he increasingly gains interest in the online space.
Having dismissed the Internet as something of a fad first time around, Murdoch has made some huge investments online in recent years, including the acquisition of IGN and Myspace.
The latest move may send a chill down the spine of any publisher involved in online gaming, as Sky has the funding to grab a potentially huge market share.

I have been looking for info for rhynoplasty and was wondering if it was possible to get it done and what options are available for my type of nose. My nose is too wide, broad, and a bit bulbous and my nostrils are a bit big for my face. I want a more in tune nose for my face without drastically changing it. I want to know if the pic is possible or can it be done better?
Looking for Realistic Results for Ethnic Nose Job (rhynoplasty)
Doctor Answers 13
Keeping a realistic ethnic look is possible
Achieving a natural result after rhinoplasty in black patients
The goal of rhinoplasty surgery should be to create a nose that is best suited to your face both in proportion and shape so that you achieve the most natural looking result. If done well, it is possible to achieve a result after rhinoplasty that looks significantly better to you while making it not obvious that surgery was ever performed.
You would benefit from a consultation with a board certified plastic surgery that has significant experience with rhinoplasty in black patients.
Improving your nose is possible.
Hello 248385anon,
Thanks for your question. It was great that you could provide your own simulation for us to be able to help answer your question. I think that it is possible to improve the shape and bulbousness of your nose using an open rhinoplasty technique to slim your bridge and reduce the volume of your nasal tip. A consultation with a specialist in ethnic rhinoplasty is necessary to help you understand the pros, cons, and limitations of your various options.
Good luck,
Dr. Shah

Ethnic nose job and realistic results
With respect to ethnic rhinoplasty, there are many variables that need to be addressed. Wide alae are reduced through alarplasty incisions right at the nostril sill. A low dorsum is augmented with either the patient's own cartilage from their nose or a silastic nasal implant. There are tip techniques to thin, narrow, and refine the tip when necessary. This reduces the bulbousness of the tip. In addition to the above described procedures, it is also important to add close follow up with your rhinoplasty surgeon due to the nature of thick, olive, oily skin that is present in many ethnic noses. There tends to be scar tissue formation and fluid retention in the supratip area of the nose, which requires multiple cortisone injections in the first six months in the postoperative healing phase.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty
All rhinoplasty should be individualized so the nose is in harmony with the surrounding facial features. Your proposed result is natural, but I think your nose can be better than you've shown if it is done by a surgeon experienced in ethnic rhinoplasty.
Achieving Natural Results In Ethnic Rhinoplasty
With the techniques available today in rhinoplasty, it is possible to achieve natural results, even in ethnic noses.
My recommendation is to seek a board certified plastic surgeon or ENT surgeon with an interest in rhinoplasty. Look at before and after photos to see if you like the "style" of the surgeon.
Best of Luck.
All these issues can be improved
All of the concerns you have about your nose can be addressed.There are many procedures that have been developed over the years specifically to treat problems in "ethnic noses", whether the patient is Afro-American, Hispanic, or Asian. The bone and cartilage structure of the nose is different from a Caucasian nose so it's important that you have a consultation with someone who has treated a nose similar to yours, in the past. Not only does the nose need to be narrowed but there are also issues of adding cartilage grafts when necessary, depending out what the surgeon finds on his actual physical examination of you, during the consultation.

African American rhinoplasty
Your request is very straight forward and logical. Each of the elements that you have astutely noted can be modified. This will require an experienced plastic surgeon who can go over the strategy for change in detail.
All the best,
Tal Raine MD
Maintaining an individuals ethnicity I think is key to rhinoplasty surgery. This will provide a natural result.
Realistic ethnic rhinoplasty.
You will get a result that is better than your "after" picture if you see an experienced ethnic rhinoplasty surgeon who does NATURAL noses. The tip can be narrowed, the bridge narrowed and the nostrils as well.

GMC revealed the 2015 Canyon recently, an all-new midsize truck the company says will redefine the segment and raises the bar for everything from horsepower and efficiency to quietness and refinement. It will be offered with an available 302-horsepower V6 and a Duramax 2.8L turbodiesel in 2016.
When it goes on sale this year, the all-new Canyon will give GMC one of the only three-truck lineups in the industry. It is expected to deliver class-leading capabilities with the brand's signature refinement – all in an efficiently sized, maneuverable package for customers who want the cargo-hauling and trailering versatility of a truck without the size of a full-size pickup.
"The all-new 2015 Canyon completes GMC's three-truck family, which started with the redesigned 2014 Sierra 1500 and 2015 Sierra HD," said Tony DiSalle, vice president of GMC Marketing. "It rounds out a lineup that offers the broadest range of capabilities in the industry, giving truck customers more choices to find the vehicle that meets their professional, personal and lifestyle needs."
Based on a proven global architecture and engineered for the unique demands and driving conditions of North American drivers, the new Canyon is expected to deliver:
– The segment's best horsepower – an estimated 193 horsepower (146 kW) from a standard 2.5L I-4 and an estimated 302 horsepower (224 kW) from an available 3.6L V-6
– The segment's best payload of at least 1,450 pounds (657 kg)
– The segment's best maximum trailering rating (when properly equipped) of at least 6,700 pounds (3,039 kg)
– Even greater capability with a powerful and efficient Duramax 2.8L turbodiesel engine coming in 2016
"Not everyone needs full-size capability, but they still deserve strength and true-truck attributes that come in larger models. The Canyon will offer all the capability with confidence – and GMC's signature refinement that complements active lifestyles," said DiSalle. "It also delivers the technology customers want with more standard features."
Canyon's customer-focused technologies include available OnStar 4G LTE connectivity with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot and expected segment-first available driver alert features such as forward collision alert, lane departure warning and a standard rear-vision camera.

Historian, author and preservationist Patricia Schaelchlin, 81, died March 15 at her La Jolla home of complications from Parkinson's Disease.
A well-known archivist, Schaelchlin amassed a wealth of historical materials about La Jolla during more than 30 years of collecting. Those materials are now accessible to residents at La Jolla Library. She also participated in a comprehensive survey of La Jolla's beach cottages and other early historical structures in the 1970s.
Schaelchlin was a force in the architectural preservation movement. She was a leader in the Save Our Heritage Organisation and was a past president of La Jolla Historical Society. She was also an active member of Friends of the La Jolla Library, a non-profit support group.
The reading room on La Jolla Library's second floor is named for Schaelchiln, who authored three historical books: "La Jolla Story, the Story of a Community 1887-1987"; "The Little Clubhouse on Steamship Wharf," a history of San Diego Rowing Club; and "The Newspaper Barons: A Biography of the Scripps Family."
The community filled La Jolla Library's community meeting room for a celebration of Schaelchlin's life March 22. At the remembrance, her husband Bob talked about her early life in Michigan where she was born, detailing her transformation into an author and preservation activist.
After spending the first 13 years of their lives together in Michigan, the Schaelchlins moved to San Diego in 1959. After the last of her children was in school, Bob Schaelchlin said his wife set out to fulfill a lifelong dream: to go to college.
"She started her education in the mid-'60s and finished toward the end of the decade," he said. "Then she went on an expedition down to Guatemala, which was really an experience for her. After returning home to civilization, she got interested in history and historic preservation in the '70s during a time when many of the beautiful Victorian homes were in danger of being demolished."
Schaelchlin got involved with Save Our Heritage Organisation and worked with people to get national recognition for historical homes.
Her vision was to prove historically designated homes could be economically viable as well. She achieved that goal in the 1980s when she spearheaded the drive to preserve the San Diego Rowing Club, an historic building. She also was instrumental in getting the Chart House in La Jolla preserved as historic and developed as a restaurant.
Architect Marc Tarasuck, who worked extensively in architectural projects with Schaelchlin, reminsced about his friend.
"Pat made the best apple sauce out there," he said, "and her apple sauce was the chicken soup for my soul, not only for my voracious appetite, but to comfort my heart."
As a member of the survey team Schaelchlin led that surveyed La Jolla historical dwellings, Tarasuck said she created Heritage Place in La Jolla and restored and resided in the yellow cottage.
Tarasuck said Schaelchlin's research was as impeccable as it was complete.
"We quickly learned the kitchen was not the most important room in Pat's house," he said. "It was her library."
La Jolla library manager Richard Burke said his staff depended upon Schaelchlin's book on La Jolla history for information.
"She was a walking encyclopedia," Burke said, "and her knowledge was phenomenal. Pat was so much a part of our library. She helped set the stage for the expansion and renovation of our branch and kept a watchful eye to make sure there would be a history room."
Bobby Foushee, past president of Friends of the La Jolla Library, described Schaelchlin as a person who was hard to turn down.
"She and Bob were very generous in support of the library and all things historical about La Jolla," he said, "and contributed her more than three decades of collections to the library in the most organized and catalogued fashion."
La Jolla Historical Society Executive Director Pat Dahlberg put Schaelchlin's accomplishments in perspective.
"She was not only important to this community," she said, "but to all of San Diego in the '70s getting the historical movement going. She played a vital role in it."

This is a gift certificate folder I made for one of my customers. I love to deliver gift certificates in special packaging and I think this paper truly fits the bill. It is such a pretty way to present a gift certificate for Stampin' Up! supplies. I have used several different designs of gift certificate folders, and this one is very classy, but simple. The inside has a neat little pocket holding the Whisper White gift certificate that is layered on Basic Black card stock, then Hello Honey card stock.

Troops reminded of rules ahead of Trump rally
Posted March 7, 2016
Updated March 8, 2016
Fort Bragg, N.C. — In the days leading up to an anticipated appearance in Fayetteville by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, leaders at Fort Bragg reminded their troops of limits on their right to participate.
Trump is scheduled to speak Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Crown Center Coliseum. The doors there open at 4 p.m.
The event is free to the public, but the Trump campaign has asked that people register.
Those on active duty are allowed to support candidates but must avoid the appearance of any official Defense Department endorsement. That means they can't attend any campaign events in uniform.
Fort Bragg spokeswoman Christina Douglas says while soldiers can have bumper stickers on their personal vehicles, troops living on base may not have yard signs or other political signs on their homes.
Douglas says those who identify themselves on social media as Defense Department employees must also state in political postings that their views are theirs alone and not those of the department.

If you like iLike, you might like them even more now that they've become empowered to help musicians get their music in front of more people. They've just announced a deal to work with TuneCore, combing their services to let bands easily push their music out to sites like Facebook, hi5, Orkut, Bebo and Rhapsody. Artist get paid whenever someone buys or streams their music.
iLike's self-described "social music discovery service" will start working with the distribution platform TuneCore to provide a one-stop service for bands to license, distribute, and promote their music. They've worked in the past with online retailers like Amazon MP3 and iTunes (among others), and now they'll work with iLike to provide one more outlet to musicians.
This essentially lets more ambitious artists create their own sort of label.
"This relationship is the first time that music discovery, promotion and sharing is directly connected to distribution outside of a traditional label," said Jeff Price, founder and CEO of TuneCore.

January 10, 2014 – PHILADELPHIA, PA - The Boston Cannons of Major League Lacrosse (MLL), the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, selected eight players in the 2014 MLL Collegiate Draft, beginning with
Scott McWilliams, a two-time USILA All-American senior defenseman at the University of Virginia.
McWilliams is a strong defenseman returning for his senior season with the Cavaliers. His freshman year at UVA, McWilliams appeared in all 18 games, starting every single contest as a true freshman and was tied for second on the team with 16 caused turnovers. As a sophomore, he had 29 ground balls and was a USILA All-American honorable mention. As a junior had 48 ground balls, caused at least one turnover in all 15 games except for the season finale against North Carolina, finished the season No. 2 in the nation with 36 caused turnovers, and was a USILA second-team All-American.
In the third round, with the #17 pick, the Cannons selected another UVA star,
Rob Emery, a two-time USILA All-American and a member of the 2013 ACC All-Academic team. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound midfielder has recorded at least 20 points in each of his first three seasons at Virginia. His freshman year, he tallied six points in the NCAA Tournament, helping the Cavaliers to the NCAA title. Last year, Emery scored 22 goals while adding 6 assists, earning him Third-Team All-American.
Two picks later at #19, the Cannons selected
Austin Kaut, a goalie out of Penn State University. In 2013, his .610% put him 2
nd in the nation for save percentage. Kaut's 7.37 goals against average put him 3
rd in the nation and earned him a spot as a First Team All-American.
"Scott McWilliams is an incredibly athletic cover defensemen who can play close or midfield-defense,"
Head Coach John Tucker stated. "Rob Emery is one of the biggest, strongest midfielders in the game today who can score with both hands. He is also very good off the ground, and defensively. Austin Kaut is unquestionably the best goalkeeper in college lacrosse, and he is a guy who can press for a starting position right away."
In the fifth round the team added another defenseman,
Jack Reilly of Johns Hopkins. The Cannons then took
Erik Smith, midfielder from Air force, and the first Falcon to be drafted in MLL by Boston. The Cannons rounded out their 2014 draft class with
Phil Poe, face-off midfielder, UMBC, and Cohasset, MA native
Jack Murphy, goalie, Fairfield.
"We feel that we drafted some incredibly talented players and phenomenal young men," said Cannons
head coach John Tucker. "We addressed needs at all of our positions, and feel these guys can step in immediately and help our franchise."
Boston Cannons 2014 Collegiate Draft Results
1. (8th): Scott McWilliams, Defenseman, UVA
2. (17th): Rob Emery, Midfield, UVA
3. (19th): Austin Kaut, Goalie, PSU

Oh, so now I'm even a Sasori fanboy? Lmao. What's next, I'll be a Tenten fanboy?
The Fire Oil Bullet is a mid- ranged attack at best. How can Bunta use it if he jumps back 100 meters?
Nope. A scratch is more than enough against Bunta. It would slow him down and 5 miniutes later he woiuld be paralyzed.
Uh? Sasori is always prepared. Always.

Mission Statement
We provide wish kids with hope through uplifting and rejuvenating experiences refocusing on the joy of life.
We provide lasting support and memories for wish families.
We treat families and associates with dignity and protect their privacy.
We inspire greater community participation in fulfilling Wishing Star's mission.
Established in 1983, Wishing Star Foundation grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses between the ages of 3 and 21, living in Eastern and Central Washington and Idaho. A child does not need to be terminal to qualify for a wish.
Wishing Star is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are dependent on individual gifts, fundraising, donations, grants and memorials. We are not funded by the government or United Way. Wishing Star is proud to report that only 5% of funds go towards administrative costs.
Besides making the wish experience one of the most memorable times in a child's life, we believe that "once a wish family, always a wish family." We continue to support these families who care for medically fragile children. We provide tickets to fun opportunities knowing that these families struggle emotionally and financially.
