Well then what do you think changed between two weeks ago and now regarding any sanctions? The earliest any new info will come out is this spring when they go to their NCAA "trial". Right now its just a holding period as far as that is all concerned.

Summer is coming to an end and I can't think of any better way to spend the last days of scorching summer heat and bathing suits than with a campfire on the beach. I can just smell the marshmallows roasting over the fire as I burn them to a sweet crisp and squish the oozing marshmallow crème and luscious milk chocolate between two crunchy graham crackers. But, alas, I have no campfire and I'm not even sure if the beach I go to with my husband and kids would let me build one. So I've come up with a heavenly solution and it doesn't include s'mores in the microwave, which, by the way, are also very yummy! This recipe is so good, you won't even believe it's actually parve.
My inspiration for this dish hit me a few weeks ago while watching the "Ice Creamy" episode of my favorite Food Network show, "The Best Thing I Ever Ate". My mouth salivated from Chef Chris Santos' description of the delectable Chocolate & Peanut Butter S'mores with Vanilla Ice Cream from Prime One Twelve in Miami. Unfortunately, like most (really, all) of the recipes described on "The Best Thing", they are served at non-kosher restaurants. The thought of never trying this sweet concoction made me so sad that I was determined to create my own and make it even better than the original. Everyone, get your taste buds ready!
makes 8 servings
1 ½ cups parve cinnamon graham crackers (1 package)
1/3 cup sugar
6 Tbsp margarine, melted
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
I first crushed the graham crackers until very fine. This is very simple and you can even enjoy the process with your kids. Mine were already sleeping so I did it on my own, but I know my 3-year-old would have loved it. I added the crackers to a sealed plastic bag and crushed them with a rolling pin. Then I mixed all of the ingredients together.
Using the back of a spoon, I pressed the mix in to 8 soufflé cups, keeping it nice and even. I then baked the pie crusts for 12 minutes at 375 degrees.
1 cup parve whipped topping
1 ½ cups parve chocolate chips
4 Tbsp unsalted margarine
½ cup smooth peanut butter
In a small saucepan, I combined the whipped topping, chocolate chips and margarine over low heat and brought the mixture to a boil. Then I reduced the heat, added the peanut butter and stirred until smooth. Man, all you really need is a spoon, right?!? But there's more to come!
1 cup parve whipped topping
1 ½ cups parve chocolate chips
4 Tbsp unsalted margarine
I used the same process as the peanut butter ganache, but without the peanut butter, of course. I brought all of the ingredients to a boil over low heat and stirred until smooth. It couldn't be any simpler!
Then came the fun part of layering all the ingredients!
I poured the peanut butter ganache over the cooled graham cracker crust then placed the soufflé cups in the fridge for 10 minutes to set. Then I layered on the chocolate ganache and let the cups set in the fridge for 30 minutes, to make sure all of the chocolate was completely cool. Once set, I placed a scoop of brown sugar ice cream with candied pecans right in the center of each soufflé cup. Click here for this homemade ice cream recipe, which was previously made and ready to go in the freezer.
I piped marshmallow fluff right over the top of the slowly melting ice cream. Yum! You can make your own homemade fluff, but I prefer the taste and texture of the pre-made kind.
I fired up the fluff with my recently purchased soufflé torch, which hardly even worked! I almost didn't have the campfire s'mores I was looking for. Can you imagine?!? Anyone have suggestions for a good torch?
The house smelled like charred marshmallows roasting over an open fire and I was in heaven. Each spoonful filled my mouth with crunchy graham crackers, smooth chocolate and toasted marshmallows, and to raise it to the next level, the cold creamy ice cream was the perfect extra touch. I got the end-of-summer celebration I was looking for right in my own kitchen! If you're wondering why I made the s'mores parve, we tend to eat more meat in my house and I wanted to makes sure I could eat these any night of the week.
If you don't have an ice cream machine to make the brown sugar ice cream, there is another delicious option that also doesn't include the fluff. Layer the cinnamon graham cracker crust, peanut butter ganache and chocolate ganache following the directions above. Next, you can make peanut butter whipped cream by whisking 1 cup of parve whipped topping then adding ½ cup of smooth peanut butter when the cream is almost ready and continuing to whisk until done. Layer the whipped cream on top of the ganache and refrigerate. This method is also very tasty but won't give you the campfire result.

Existing phone systems are driven by a very reliable but somewhat inefficient method for connecting calls called circuit switching.
Circuit switching is a very basic concept when a call is made between two parties, the connection is maintained for the duration of the call. Because you're connecting two points in both directions, the connection is called a circuit. This is the foundation of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
Talk for 10 minutes using PSTN during this time, the circuit is continuously open between the two phones. Your voice is digitized, and your voice along with thousands of others can be combined onto a single fiber optic cable for much of the journey (there's still a dedicated piece of copper wire going into your house, though).
A packet-switched phone network is the alternative to circuit switching packet switching opens a brief connection -- just long enough to send a small chunk of data, called a packet, from one system to another.Packet switching is very efficient the network route the packets along the least congested and cheapest lines.
Enables you to setup a private network at your office building, community, hotel/motel, or mobile home park with your existing cable tv system.
The server device converts the network signal it recieves from any network card into a signal that can pass along a RG6 or higher coaxial cable (TV cable).
This signal is recieved by a client device at the user's location, it translates the signal back into a network signal that a network card in your computer can understand.
This translation of the network signal provides Hi-Speed networking for 60 users per Server device. Simple, Secure, network connections throughout your office or community with a plug & play setup.

Tonya Williams dreaded registering for the algebra class that was required for her bachelor's degree in psychology. When the first day of class arrived, she found a seat near the back of the room – and was delighted to spot a friendly face.
"Aaron," she whispered to her 6-foot-6 son as he entered the classroom.
"Oh, are you in this class?" Aaron Williams replied, sliding into a seat next to his mother.
She watched him closely during that first class, excited to have a unique glimpse of her son as a peer, a classmate. "He sat there, and he had this stern expression on his face, and he had his chin in his hand, and he narrowed his eyes," Tonya Williams said. "I said, 'Oh, my goodness, look at him. He's serious about this.'"
The pair's lives have been intertwined with Chicago State since before Aaron was born, so facing the spring semester of 2013 side by side wasn't too much of a surprise. The bigger stunner came this spring: Aaron Williams, 22, and his mother, Tonya Williams, 48, who took her first class at the university in August 1983, will both graduate in May.
The younger Williams, a forward on the Cougars' men's basketball team, took four years to earn his undergraduate degree; the older one was on a 30-year path to graduation. But in May, their different means will reach the same ends at the same time.
Here is @ChicagoStateMBB Aaron Williams and his mother Tonya. Congrats! Thanks to Aaron's brother for the pic. pic.twitter.com/PH0EW1g4Hd
— ChicagoStateCougars (@ChiStateCougars) May 15, 2014
"It wasn't planned for all this to happen at the same time," said Aaron Williams, whose older brother, Evan, will also graduate from Eastern Illinois this spring. "It's truly amazing."
Tonya Williams and Aaron's father, Kevin, have long worked to forge a path to education for their sons, even when it meant delaying their mother's work toward her degree. Their first goal was to keep their children safe from the influences of drugs, gangs and other pressures they might encounter in their Chicago neighborhood.
Even Aaron Williams' decision to start college at Dodge City Community College in Kansas was part of his plan to separate himself from any temptations that might linger in Chicago. He returned to the city a year later, enrolling at Chicago State and pursuing an individualized curriculum with a focus on physical education.
"I've been around this school since I was younger," he said. "It almost felt like I belonged here. My mom being here helped make the decision."
In 1983, Tonya Williams became the first person in her family to graduate from high school. She had big plans for her future, but within weeks of starting her first semester, she became pregnant and dropped out of school.
When the baby was born, the new mother struggled with the daunting change in her life. "I felt as if something had happened that I wasn't expecting, and that led to postpartum depression immediately after my son was born," Tonya Williams said. She was hospitalized several times.
Years later, after two more sons came along and Tonya Williams had her life back on track, she tried – "with starts and stops, and lots of hindrances," she says – to seek a degree from Chicago State.
"I've grown to love Chicago State," Tonya Williams said. "They know me very well up there. They've seen the journey, and it has been a big effort on my part because there have been many times that I have said, 'I'm just going to leave it alone.' But I always had that drive in me, and I always wanted to finish what I started in the very beginning."
She also switched her major along the way and will earn a degree in psychology, inspired by a psychologist who helped her.
"I have a passion for people who are suffering with mental illness because of what I've experienced in my life with the postpartum," she said.
After graduation, Aaron Williams plans to return to Chicago State this fall to pursue a master's degree in higher education administration and play out his final year of eligibility.
Tonya Williams, meanwhile, hopes to work for the outpatient mental health clinic where she now volunteers.
And her sons plan to treat their mom, the graduate, to a weekend in a downtown Chicago hotel, just to spoil her. "She sacrificed nights going to school and working and raising us," Aaron Williams said. "We respect education because of her."

As it turns out, Jared Gaither's reprieve in San Diego was a temporary one.
According to Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego, the Chargers have informed tackle Jared Gaither they plan to release him.
He'll count $6 million against the cap this year, meaning they cut him for reasons other than financial ones.
Gaither's now one of the new poster boys for the dangers of free agency, as he was one year into a four-year, $24.6 million contract. But instead of a franchise left tackle, they got an expensive tenant in the training room for their money, as he played just four games last year after signing that deal.

Free Agent Pool Drying Up
This should be the slowest week for activity in the NBA each season and the last week before players start to slowly get back together with their teammates so they can begin preparations for training camps that kick off on or about October 1. However, there was still some real news recently as Antawn Jamison signed a veteran's minimum deal with the Clippers and Ronnie Brewer was just picked up by Houston. A couple of other "big" signings since our last report include Jannero Pargo to the Bobcats and DeJuan Blair joining the Mavericks. It was a couple of weeks ago, but Greg Oden signed a minimum deal with the HEAT even though he might not be ready to play in time for the start of the season.
Center Hamed Haddadi and Earl Baron are two of the remaining free agents that are still getting some attention, but the pickings are getting slim both ways and unsigned players have started accepting jobs overseas in droves. The controversial Lamar Odom may not have an NBA landing spot anymore after the Jamison signing.
Some Key Injury Situations
Tony Parker, who has been complaining about sore hamstrings, scared the Spurs this week when he injured his knee while playing for France. Fortunately, the MRI results suggest it isn't serious.
Knicks Andrea Bargnani has pneumonia. Earlier this month, the New York Knicks forward/center Andrea Bargnani was at risk of not being able to play for Italy at 2013 Eurobasket in Solvenia this September because of a respiratory tract infection, it has now been confirmed that he has pneumonia. Bargnani will not be allowed to play for his National Team.
J.R. Smith was finally cleared to begin riding a stationary bike 2 weeks ago after knee surgery July 15. It is questionable if he will be ready for opening night.
Udonis Haslem also had knee surgery mid-July, but he expects to be ready for training camp. It's hard to knock the optimism.

However, losing 80-62 on a 16-2 run by the Greeks over the final 5 minutes wasn't the way he wanted his team's winning streak to end.
Can Team Canada Rival Spain In Basketball?

How the NBA is Making Waves in eSports
Reading Time: 4 minutes
The National Basketball Association has just turned 73 years old and is one of the four major leagues for professional level sports in North America. Thanks to this age and prominence, it is often considered the world's leading basketball league, with good reason. Whilst comprising of teams only from the United States and Canada, the NBA attracts many international players who join from every continent. In addition, the average NBA team is worth $1.9 billion, considerably more than teams in other leagues.
Expanding the Empire
The NBA is currently enacting a strategy to leverage its brand around the world, developing audiences in regions outside of the United States including the UK, Africa and China. As part of this it recently announced the launch of a NBA YouTube channel to stream games to sub-Saharan audiences.
The eSports Expansion
In 2017, the NBA and games developer Take-Two Interactive announced that 17 of the 30 NBA teams would be taking part in the inaugural NBA 2K eSports League. This list included big names like the New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors. The first of these eSports games took place in 2018, using the NBA 2K video games. Like real life games, NBA 2K eSports League games are contested between two teams of 5 players, making use of the "Pro-Am" mode found in the consumer version of NBA 2K 2018.
Just like in real life basketball, the eSports teams are generally made up of the following types of player:
- Point guard: generally taking the on court leadership role for the team, typically having the best ball handling and passing skills to assist in creating shots
- Shooting guard: typically the best shooter on the team, tasked with exploiting these skills, particularly when shooting from behind the three-point line
- Small forward: often considered the most versatile position of the five, the small forward often takes on the role of the shooting guard, but is more likely to score baskets from lay-ups or slam dunks in contrast to the shooting guard's three-point shooting abilities
- Power forward: a versatile role, similar to the centre, which requires shooting and defence skills against all types of players
- Centre: typically the tallest players, defending against shots and collecting rebounds.
The "eSeason"
In the real world, the NBA Championship will be decided between the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors in mid June. Currently, odds comparison site Oddschecker is ranking the Raptors as favourites to take the crown. However, the NBA 2K eSports season begins in spring and finishes in summer. This timing allows the NBA to have its brand utilised for a larger portion of the year, beyond the end of the traditional basketball season.
First Mover Advantage
The NBA's announcement in 2017 that it would be launching the NBA 2K eSports League meant that it was the first major sports brand in the United States to enter the world of eSports. In contrast, most other eSports leagues are organised by tech companies like Intel – or games companies like Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite. Therefore, if the NBA is successful it will have several years of development to build a loyal eSports fan base, before rivals such as the National Football League or Major League Baseball join the party.
Growing Already
After a successful first year, four additional real life NBA teams will be joining the NBA 2K eSports League lineup, bringing the total number to 21. These new teams are: the Atlanta Hawks, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Brooklyn Nets and the Minnesota Timberwolves.The growth provides mutual benefits, since the teams will bring with them their own existing supporters who are more likely to follow their team's eSports team, than an unknown entrant. In addition, the fans of eSports are likely to also gain a stronger interest in the real life team, buying merchandise and visiting games.
Live Streaming
Just as traditional sports leagues like the NBA have sold rights to air games on TV, the NBA 2K eSports League has signed a deal to have its games streamed live over the internet. The deal with streaming platform Twitch sees all games shown live, available to its audience of 15 million daily active users. The multi year streaming deal also includes commentary and analysis, just like you would expect from traditional TV coverage of any other sport.
The NBA 2K eSports deal is not Twitch's first with the NBA. In December 2017, the two companies signed a deal that enabled Twitch to live stream games from the NBA G League, the official minor league, with up to 6 matches each week being distributed on the platform.
Just like traditional sports leagues, the NBA 2K eSports League has signed a number of major sponsorship deals with large companies. Games are played on computers provided by gaming PC brand Alienware, using powerful processing chipsets supplied by Intel. Players use HyperX sponsored headsets and Scuf Gaming branded controllers. Teams also have their own sponsors, with their logos displayed on the teams' in-game uniforms, just like in real life.
The growth in eSports has been massive, with large sums of money now being invested in creating leagues with all of the hallmarks of a traditional sport. In its quest to become a global sports brand, the NBA has been able to leverage its existing assets to create a large following in eSports, almost overnight. By launching the league in 2018 with 17 existing NBA teams, the NBA 2K eSports League already had loyal fans of 17 established sports clubs who would want to support them. Thus, it has a pre-made fanbase, huge financial assets and an established brand to leverage sponsorship deals and to use in negotiations when selling streaming rights.
In addition, the NBA's venture into eSports is a significant opportunity to expand the reach of its brand into new geographic regions, as well as to new demographics that had not previously been interested in basketball. Even if a player does not become an avid watcher of NBA games, sales of the NBA 2K video game titles are also likely to benefit from the exposure of the NBA 2K eSports League.

King Creosote and Jon Hopkins | 27/02/12
Diamond Mine, the critically acclaimed record from King Creosote & Jon Hopkins is getting the deluxe treatment on the 16th of April. The original, Mercury Music Prize-nominated album is beautifully expanded with a whole host of extra material, including all three tracks from the Honest Words EP, B-side "Missionary" and two brand new songs, "Third Swan" (which features additional vocals from KT Tunstall) and "Starboard Home".
Great news! As is the announcement that those two brand new tracks will be released separately on the 21st of April. They will be available as a digital download and a 7" single, allowing all those who have been avid listeners for a while to get those new songs by themselves. So not only exciting, but fiscally responsible!
Here are some words about the new tracks from King Creosote himself:
Third Swan
The much revisited inspirational well of ructions, relationships and regrettable behaviour has very recently been replenished with a leaky bucket of political angst, due in no small part to James Robertson's fine novel And the Land Lay Still. "Third Swan" is also a comment on how euphoria and despair sit side by side, with a few St. Andrews place names thrown in for good measure. To exist as the ugly duckling between two paragons of swan-like virtue is, no doubt, the metaphor that ties all of this together. In short, there was a lot swirling around my head in the dark weeks leading up to the end of 2011, and it had to end up on this, the penultimate page, of the Diamond Mine travelogue.
Starboard Home
As the good ship 'Diamond Mine' ties up alongside our wave-battered pier, the buffeting by wind and waves on our emotional voyage is replaced by the mournful cries of marsh birds and the welcoming voices of our loved ones, the ocean swell swapped for the comforting sight of the harbour lights.
Diamond Mine – Special Edition will be available digitally and on CD from 16th April, pre-order it here!

orange twin is now selling elephant 6 shirts, too, in red, green and blue (though they are out of most sizes in green, but cloud seems to have green shirts in stock).
I stood singing on a high hilltop, so they could garland me with blossoms and leaves, and my voice could be heard far, far away.

CHAPEL HILL � After James Michael McAdoo flung the basketball upward in celebration and Dexter Strickland happily skipped off the court past the student section, after having logged 47 practices this season and just after the conclusion of their 13th game, the North Carolina Tar Heels gladly indulged in something new Saturday.
A gleeful, previously untapped sense of accomplishment.
North Carolina�s 79-73 defeat of 20th-ranked UNLV at the Smith Center was followed by a locker-room scene that spoke volumes about the significance the Tar Heels attached to the victory.
It started with Roy Williams hopping.
Soon, players jumped in, joining the 62-year-old coach for what became the type of triumphant, bouncing mosh pit that P.J. Hairston hadn�t taken part in since March 3 � when North Carolina blitzed Duke to close the preceding regular season.
�Probably the happiest I�ve seen Coach this season,� Hairston said, minutes later. �It was a lot of happiness in the locker room. It really felt great.�
And it was needed � perhaps even for a necessity � for a Tar Heels team, searching for consistency and confidence at the doorstep of Atlantic Coast Conference play, that to this point had been defined by unanswered identity questions, unfulfilling victories and glaring, lopsided losses (to Butler, Indiana and Texas).
�It�s like a monkey that got off our back, a chance for us to show everybody the potential that we have to be a great team,� Strickland said.
�It�s great because this team hasn�t showed up all year against a big team, and this was the game to do it,� Hairston said.
�The team that showed up, I think, is even better than we see in practice,� McAdoo said, �which is kind of encouraging, to know that we can take it up another notch.�
In turning back UNLV (11-2), North Carolina (10-3) relied on evenly distributed scoring, intensified defense and heightened emotion to win its final non-league game of the regular season without Reggie Bullock, its second-leading scorer and a key source of leadership, who suffered a mild concussion in Thursday night�s practice.
Strickland scored 16 points, Hairston, a sophomore, added 15 points and four steals in the first start of his college career, McAdoo chipped in 13 points and nine rebounds and freshmen Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson had 12 points apiece.
�We were really good defensively in the first half,� Williams said. �The second half, I was really proud of our toughness, and you haven�t heard me say that yet this year.�
The Tar Heels, bringing an engaged home crowd to its feet, opened a 13-point lead during the game�s first 9� minutes and led 36-21 on Johnson�s dunk off J.P. Tokoto�s lob in the last three minutes of the first half.
That 15-point cushion had evaporated by the 14-minute mark of the second half, when Katin Reinhardt�s 3-pointer provided the Runnin� Rebels their only lead at 49-48.
McAdoo, shaking off 1-for-8 shooting from the field in the first half, immediately responded with six straight points � a put-back, a tough drive that produced a three-point play and a free throw � that pushed North Carolina back ahead to stay.
UNLV later pulled within one point on four occasions during a 2�-minute span. The Tar Heels found a counterpunch each time � such as Hairston�s rattled-in 3 with 9:50 remaining and McAdoo�s left-handed mini hook with 7:11 left.
North Carolina, spreading its half-court sets on offense during the tight final minutes, finished the last 4:41 by surviving on one field. That was Strickland�s shot-clock-beating jumper to rescue an awful possession and put the Tar Heels up 74-68 with 1:34 left.
�We had to play with our heart, but we had to use our mind and kind of out-think them in certain situations,� McAdoo said.
�We played with such a sense of urgency on the defensive end,� Hairston said. �We were attacking them, doing the little things as far as taking charges, getting loose balls, scrapping, boxing out, everything it took to win.�
Anthony Bennett, UNLV�s top scorer who entered averaging 19.5 points per game, had 15 points, 13 rebounds and served up a monster facial on Johnson in the second half, a dunk likely to be replayed in heavy rotation.
Anthony Marshall (15 points, eight assists), Reinhardt (four 3s, 15 points) and Bryce Dejean-Jones (14 points, eight rebounds) also were important contributors for the Runnin� Rebels, who missed a chance to secure their first 10-game winning streak since the 2006-07 season.
TIP-INS �: North Carolina�s next game is its ACC opener on Jan. 6 at Virginia. � McAdoo played through leg cramps that forced him to the bench with 6� minutes remaining. He returned with 3:58 left. � Tar Heels guard Leslie McDonald missed some time in the second half due to a strained shoulder. He also returned. � Mike Moser, an honorable mention All-America last season and UNLV�s leading rebounder this season, fouled out in 12 minutes off the bench. He had missed five of the previous six games because of a dislocated elbow and hip injury. � The Runnin� Rebels missed 10 of 13 shots from the field and coughed up six turnovers during the game�s first 8� minutes as North Carolina built a 17-6 lead and breathed life into its crowd. �Indiana, Butler, Texas, they all jumped out on us real quick,� Hairston said. �We didn�t fight back. We just let it happen. But this game, it was different.� � Bullock�s concussion stemmed from a collision with McAdoo in Thursday night�s practice. � Of Saturday�s post-game joy, Williams said: �It was fun to have some excitement in that locker room. We haven�t been able to have that yet this year. Those are the kind of moments that I coach for, so I can see kids enjoying themselves and feeling some satisfaction of doing some things that were fairly difficult to do.� � Former Tar Heels player and coach Matt Doherty watched Saturday�s game from the first row behind the North Carolina bench. He was greeted by a nice ovation in the first half when he was pictured on the Smith Center videoboards with the caption �welcome home.�

In this game you pick one of 6 factions and battle in typical RTS-style your opponents. But Intruder Alert isn't like other strategy games. While in other games you have unit limits, Intruder Alert has no limits except your pc power. Moreover ressources are drain realistically and your population grows exponential. Besides all factions differ greatly. For example the Ixir can transform all their buildings into vehicles and backwards and the Mercoss use only drones for all their economic jobs. The story of Intruder Alert is shortly that you are an Ixir from a foreign Galaxy, who is the first of his race leaving their galaxy and finds the Milky Way galaxy. There you get to know many diffrent races, which are currently in war with each other. The game plays many years in the future, where the humans are already part of an alliance containing diffrent alien races. In the Milky Way you also have to cope problems of any kind. If you want to know the details, play the game!

Bond Set for Suspect in 2 Aberdeen Robberies
ABERDEEN - Bond has been set at $50,000 for a man accused of robbing two convenience stores in Aberdeen this month.
Thirty-year-old Travis Atchley is accused of using a knife to hold up The Gas Stop on Monday. Authorities allege he also stole a pickup truck on Jan. 10 and then robbed the C Express North store, without using a weapon. No one was hurt in either robbery.
Atchley appeared in court on Wednesday on robbery and grand theft charges. The American News reports that he did not enter a plea, and requested a public defender. He is due back in court Feb. 7. He faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

Five years ago, Lutherville native Derek Waters was a struggling comedian in Los Angeles.
Like thousands before him, he had dreams of being cast on "Saturday Night Live" or making it in Hollywood as a funny guy. But Waters wasn't having much luck.
"My auditions were like, 'Stoned Guy No. 7' and 'Drunk-looking Guy No. 8,'" Waters, 33, said. "So I could've been bitter about it or write my own stuff, like shorts and sketches."
Trusting his "dark" sense of humor, which Waters says he inherited from his grandfather, he followed the latter path.
On Aug. 6, 2007, Waters handed his friend Mark Gagliardi a bottle of scotch and asked...

Hot Shot – Natasha Oakley
Natasha Oakley is a beauty from Down Under who now resides in Los Angeles, California where the rest of the tan, healthy, beautiful people live. (At least the people who can wear bikinis like she can.)
Natasha started Bikini a Day, and hasn't looked back since. True to her word, you'll find her wearing a different bikini every day on her Instagram. So you'll have something to look forward to seeing when you wake up in the morning because she's not going to be lying next to you in your 120 count sheets from Target.
You can follow Natasha on her Twitter and Facebook accounts as well. Tell her GuySpeed sent you. And that we have 10,000 count bed sheets. It's a total lie, but worth a shot.
