The Legacy Drawer Document Organizer — What Happens to Your Bank Account When You Die?
Many people cause one problem by trying to fix another. One example is with the addition of an additional co-signer on a bank account.
For example, Mary wanted to be sure that if something should happen to her, her friend would be able to cash a check on her account. So, she changed her account to a joint account with her friend as the additional owner/signer.
What she doesn't realize is that she actually gave her friend the right of survivorship even though according to her will, she intended for her children to inherit the account. With the right advice, she would have only added her friend as an additional signer, but with no right of survivorship.

When in Manila, whether you're working, studying or plainly existing amidst the pressures of city-living, you cannot help but long for an escape. A kind of getaway that will give you back all the positive vibes that got drained in routine and stress. A trip that will lead you back to your old-self, rejuvenated.
With Manila destinations sprouting everywhere, it's getting harder and harder to find a legitimate go-to place that is worth the time and travel. Pico de Loro Cove is a place that bestows exactly that– an escape that supplies all that you need making your time, effort and risk of going there worth it.
Take a leave, pack your bags and brave places outside Manila such as Pico de Loro Cove for that much awaited escape.
Pico de Loro Cove is one of the 13 coves at Hamilo Coast in Nasugbu Batangas. It is called as such because Mt. Pico, a notable destination for mountaineers alike, resembles a parrot's beak. Since Pico De Loro Cove is in the farther side of Batangas the expected travel time is 3-4 hours; but a new road called "Cavitex" connects Manila to Nasugbu instantaneously, cutting down the travel time to 1.5- 2 hours.
On your way to Pico de Loro Cove you will encounter Kaybiang Tunnel, the longest underground road tunnel in the Philippines.
10-15 minutes before arriving at Pico de Loro Cove you will come across this breathtaking view.
Pico de Loro Cove is one big compound in Hamilo Coast that houses Pico de Loro Country Club, Pico de Loro Beach Club, St. Therese of Child Jesus Chapel, condominiums Carola, Miranda, Myna and Jacana; and of course, Pico Sands Hotel.
The simplistic and modern facade of Pico Sands Hotel is only one of the many wondrous structures in Pico de Loro Cove.
Pico de Loro Cove 's Hotel is a seven-storey hotel with 154 rooms designed to cater your need for a tranquil escape in the coast.
Pico Sands Hotel welcomes members and guests starting at Php 7,000 night.
As you enter the lobby of Pico Sands Hotel you will be given refreshing drinks and hot towels as part of your welcome gift.
In Pico de Loro Cove everything is made to give their guests a new way to redefine coastal living. As such, their hotel rooms offers either a view of the lagoon or the mountain.
I wouldn't mind waking up to this view of Pico de Loro Cove everyday.
This was our temporary abode in Pico Sands Hotel. The average room size is 37 sq. meters and room types offered are standard, deluxe, superior, premier, corner deluxe and penthouse lofts. The interior of the rooms is a combination of seashell white and sandy creams that promises a soothing feel whenever you enter it after a long day of activities.
It's complete with 2 comfortable beds and fluffy pillows to give you a good night's rest.
This was also part of our welcome gift, a waterproof eco bag from Pico de Loro Cove, that carries and protects our valuables while we're doing different activities at the beach.
The bathroom can make or break a hotel room, don't you think? Of course Pico Sands Hotel's rooms deliver quite well on this.
In Pico Sands Hotel, you are well provided for. Water, coffee and tea are in reach for those long night conversations and reading.
Use this if you need to connect to the outside world or you need something from the lobby. Their room service is very fast and efficient.
Rooms in Pico Sands Hotel are fully furnished with natural materials keeping everything sleek and pleasing to the eyes.
What I love the most in our room are these two areas where I can just read and see the relaxing view of Pico de Loro Cove.
Our terrace's view from the inside. Say "hello" to the lagoon of Pico de Loro Cove.

Thor Jokes Never Get Old!


On Tuesday, May 11, 1813, Mr. Gregory Blaxland, Mr. William Wentworth, and Lieutenant Lawson, attended by four servants, with five dogs and four horses, laden with provisions, ammunition, and other necessaries, left Mr. Blaxland's farm at the South Creek, for the purpose of endeavouring to effect a passage over the Blue Mountains, between the Western River, and the River Grose.
On the following morning (May the 12th) as soon as the heavy dew was off, which was about nine a.m., they proceeded to ascend the ridge at the foot of which they had camped the preceding evening. After travelling about a mile on the third day in a west and north-west direction, they arrived at a large tract of forest land, rather hilly, the grass and timber tolerably good. They computed it as two thousand acres. Here they found a track marked by a European, by cutting the bark of the trees. They had not proceeded above two miles, when they found themselves stopped by a brushwood, much thicker than they had hitherto met with. This induced them to alter their course, and to endeavour to find another passage to the westward, but every ridge which they explored proved to terminate in a deep rocky precipice, and they had no alternative but to return to the thick brushwood, which appeared to be the main ridge, with the determination to cut a way through for the horses the next day.
On the next morning, leaving two men to take care of the horses and provisions, they proceeded to cut a path through the thick brushwood, on what they considered as the main ridge of the mountains, between the Western River, and the River Grose. They now began to mark their track by cutting the bark of the trees on two sides. Having cut their way for about five miles, they returned in the evening to the spot on which they had encamped the night before. The fifth day was spent in prosecuting the same tedious operation, but, as much time was necessarily lost in walking twice over the track cleared the day before, they were unable to cut away more than two miles further. They found no food for the horses the whole way.
On Sunday, they rested and arranged their future plans. They had reason, however, to regret this suspension of their proceedings, as it gave the men leisure to ruminate on their danger, and it was for some time doubtful whether, on the next day, they could be persuaded to venture farther.
On Wednesday, the 19th, the party moved forward, bearing chiefly west, and west-south-east. They now began to ascend the second ridge of the mountains, and from this elevation they obtained for the first time an extensive view of the settlements below.
May 21st. - Their progress the next day was nearly four miles. They encamped in the middle of the day at the head of a well-watered swamp, about five acres in extent; pursuing, as before, their operations in the afternoon. In the beginning of the night the dogs ran off and barked violently. At the same time something was distinctly heard to run through the brushwood, which they supposed to be one of the horses got loose; but they had reason to believe afterwards that they had been in great danger - that the natives had followed their tracks, and advanced on them in the night, intending to have speared them by the light of their fire, but that the dogs drove them off.
On the top of this ridge they found about two acres of land clear of trees, covered with loose stones and short coarse grass, such as grows on some of the commons of England. Over this heath they proceeded about a mile and a half, and encamped by the side of a fine stream of .water, with just wood enough on the banks to serve for firewood. From the summit they had a fine view of all the settlements and country eastwards, and of a great extent of country to the westward and south-west. But their progress in both the latter directions was stopped by an impassable barrier of rock, which appeared to divide the interior from the coast as with a stone wall, rising perpendicularly out of the side of the mountain. In the afternoon they left their little camp in the charge of three of the men, and made an attempt to descend the precipice by following some of the streams of water, or by getting down at some of the projecting points where the rocks had fallen in; but they were baffled in every instance. In some places the perpendicular height of the rocks above the earth below could not be less than four hundred feet.
On the 28th they proceeded about five miles and three-quarters. Not being able to find water, they did not halt till five o'clock, when they took up their station on the edge of the precipice. To their great satisfaction they discovered, that what they had supposed to be sandy, barren land below the mountain, was forest land, covered with good grass, and with timber of an inferior quality. In the evening they contrived to get their horses down the mountain by cutting a small trench with a hoe, which kept them from slipping, where they again tasted grass for the first time since they left the forest land on the other side of the mountain. They were getting into miserable condition. Water was found about two miles below the foot of the mountain. In this day's route little timber was observed fit for building.
On the 29th, having got up the horses and laden them, they began to descend the mountain at seven o'clock, through a pass in the rock about thirty feet wide, which they had discovered the day before, when the want of water put them on the alert. Part of the descent was so steep that the horses could but just keep their footing, without a load, so that, for some way, the party were obliged to carry the packages themselves. A cart-road might, however, easily be made by cutting a slanting trench along the side of the mountain, which is here covered with earth.
They reached the foot at nine o'clock a.m., and proceeded two miles, mostly through open meadow land, clear of trees, the grass from two to three feet high. They encamped on the bank of a fine stream of water. The natives, as observed by the smoke of their fires, moved before them as yesterday. The dogs killed a kangaroo, which was very acceptable, as the party had lived on salt meat since they caught the last. The timber seen this day appeared rotten and unfit for building.
The climate here was found very much colder than that of the mountain or of the settlements on the east side, where no signs of frost had made its appearance when the party set out. During the night the ground was covered with a thick frost, and a leg of the kangaroo was quite frozen.
They now conceived that they had sufficiently accomplished the design of their undertaking, having surmounted all the difficulties which had hitherto prevented the interior of the country from being explored, and the Colony from being extended. They had partly cleared, or, at least, marked out a road by which the passage of the mountain might easily be effected. Their provisions were nearly exhausted, their clothes and shoes were in very bad condition, and the whole party were ill with bowel complaints. These considerations determined them, therefore, to return home by the track they came. On Tuesday, the 1st of June, they arrived at the foot of the mountain which they had descended, where they encamped for the night.
The following day they began to ascend the mountain at seven o'clock, and reached the summit at ten; they were obliged to carry the packages themselves part of the ascent.
They encamped in the evening at one of their old stations. On the 3rd, they reached another of their old stations. Here, during the night, they heard a confused noise arising from the eastern settlements below, which, after having been so long accustomed to the death-like stillness of the inferior, had a very striking effect, On the 4th, they arrived at the end of their marked track, and encamped in the forest land where they had cut the grass for their horses. One of the horses fell this day with his load, quite exhausted, and was with difficulty got on, after having his load put on the other horses. The next day, the 5th, was the most unpleasant and fatiguing they had experienced. The track not being marked, they had great difficulty in finding their way back to the river, which they did not reach till four p.m. o'clock. They then once more encamped for the night to refresh themselves and the horses. They had no provisions now left except a little flour, but procured some from the settlement on the other side of the river. On Sunday, the 6th of June, they crossed the river after breakfast, and reached their homes all in good health. The winter had not set in on this side of the mountain, nor had there been any frost.


We would always advise to have your carpets cleaned AFTER the painting and decorating has been done. Really, the last thing that should be done is the carpet cleaning.
It is the decorator's responsibility to cover your carpets and soft furnishings and while there is really no excuse for getting paint on your carpets or furnishings, it can happen.
Can the paint be removed from the carpet?
The type of paint that gets on your carpet and the quantity dictates whether or not it can successfully be removed.
The type of carpet also has a bearing on this.
Small splashes of oil-based paint can usually be removed very successfully. It is very important to notify your carpet cleaning company as soon as possible after the stains appear.
Larger deposits of oil-based stains are usually impossible to fully remove.
Although most people think that water based paint is easier to remove than oil-based paint, that is not our experience. Water-based spillages, especially on wool rich carpets, are nigh impossible to remove, particularly if the stain has dried in.
Small deposits of water-based paint can be removed, but you must act very quickly.
While the stain is still moist, it can be flushed and extracted.
The difference between trying to remove oil and water based paint is that with oil, a solvent can be used. Not so with water-based paint.
There are products available to professional carpet cleaners which are designed to remove oil-based paint. I am not currently aware of any such product for water-based paint spillages.
No.1 Message – Make Sure Your Painter Takes Care!
So Rule No.1: make sure the painter is responsible enough to cover your carpets, upholstery and rugs adequately. Rule No.2: in the event of a spill, act quickly, especially if it's a water based paint spillage.

Q: Разделение List с большим количеством объектов на другие листы Хотелось бы узнать, какие есть оптимальные способы разбиения листа на более мелкие листы по значениям в обьекте, желательно в рамках Java SE7.
Например есть ArrayList personList содержащий 1000 обьектов типа Person, отсортированный по Person.name. Нужно разбить personList, на другие листы по одинаковым именам персон. Пока кроме подобных вещей, ничего в голову не пришло:
ArrayList<Person> personList = new ArrayList<Person>();
    ArrayList<ArrayList<Person>> allLists = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Person>>();
    ArrayList<Person> arr2 = new ArrayList<Person>();
    String name = personList.get(0).getName();
    arr2.add(personList.get(0));
    for (int i = 1; i < personList.size(); i++) {
        if(!name.equals(personList.get(i).getName())) {
            name = personList.get(i).getName();
            allLists.add(arr2);
            arr2 = new ArrayList<Person>();
        }
        if(personList.size() == i+1) {
            arr2.add(personList.get(i));
            allLists.add(arr2);
            break;
        }
        arr2.add(personList.get(i));
    }

A: Если требуется разбить list на одинаковые элементы:
 List<String> personList = new ArrayList<>();
        personList.add("Dimon");
        personList.add("Dimon");
        personList.add("Dimon");
        personList.add("Ivan");
        personList.add("Ivan");
        personList.add("Ivan");
        personList.add("Petr");
        personList.add("Petr");
        personList.add("Petr");
        personList.add("Max");
        personList.add("Sergey");
        personList.add("Leha");
        personList.add("Leha");
        personList.add("Leha");
        personList.add("Max");
        personList.add("Leha");
        personList.add("Leha");
        personList.add("Leha");
        List<List<String>> allLists = new ArrayList<>();
        int k=0;
        for (int i = 0; i < personList.size()-1; i++) {
            String name = personList.get(i++);
            while(i< personList.size() && name.equals(personList.get(i)) ){i++;}
            if(i< personList.size()){
                allLists.add(personList.subList(k,i));
                k=i--;
            }
        }
        allLists.add(personList.subList(k,personList.size()));

Результат такой:

A: Здесь k - это начало индекса подлиста.
Далее после того, как мы нашли имя name (name - это слово - разделитель) мы делаем sublist по i+1(не включительно) и записываем результат в лист.
List<String> personList = new ArrayList<>();
      personList.add("Dimon");
    personList.add("Ivan");
    personList.add("Petr");
    personList.add("Max");
    personList.add("Sergey");
    personList.add("Leha");
    personList.add("Max");
    personList.add("Leha");
    List<List<String>> allLists = new ArrayList<>();
    String name = "Max";
    int k=0;
    for (int i = 1; i < personList.size(); i++) {
        if(name.equals(personList.get(i))) {
            allLists.add(personList.subList(k,i+1));
            k=i+1;
        }
    }
    allLists.add(personList.subList(k,personList.size()));

Home Film & TV Geek Ireland Discuss – The Halloween Reboot
Geek Ireland Discuss – The Halloween Reboot
Olivia Fahy
The first images of the Halloween Reboot with Jamie Lee Curtis were released this week and that got us thinking. Are we looking forward to it? Do we need it? Is Hollywood out of ideas? Let's see what we thought.
David (God Editor)
I'm not a huge fan of horror films but I am forced to watch Halloween every Halloween by my live-in torturer (girlfriend). It's fine, but I think we as a society will soon have to come to the realisation that old horror films just aren't scary any more. Whenever I have been told to watch a 'classic' horror that will 'terrify' me, I have always been disappointed. Halloween may be a classic, but it's just not scary. I doubt any 12 year old seeing it for the first time now would be particularly moved. Maybe a rebooting of the concept, complete with up to date special effects will make it scary again. I doubt it. But it's worth a shot.
Olivia (Vice-President of the World)
I have never seen a Halloween film. Not one. I am a big scaredy cat so horror movies are not my thing. While while the reboot with Jamie Lee Curtis great for nostalgia purposes, it's a bit of a shame to see how Hollywood keeps rehashing the same franchises over and over again. Films like A Quiet Place and Get Out prove that there is still room for new ideas but going the lazy route is easier so why bother? Scream and the Exorcist tried it and it didn't really work. We won't even go near the Jeepers Creepers fiasco. At the end of the day, people will go see it but, I can almost guarantee that JLC bites the dust in the end.
Dan K (Halloween fanboy, he guesses)
I've been a fan of the Halloween series since I got the original on DVD back when I was 14. When news of the billionth reboot attempt hit my ears it didn't really fill me with anticipation. Then I started hearing more about it. Laurie Strode herself, Jamie Lee Curtis was returning. We have a great choice of director with David Gordon Green, whose Americana sensibilities may hit the tone of the 1978 classic better than any previous follow-up. John Carpenter approved the script AND will score the damn thing. And the original Shape, Nick Castle will once again don Michael Myers iconic mask. The stills look great, Curtis looks great, the Myers mask and aesthetic is wonderful – it seems to have the atmosphere down. The sweetest plum would have been getting the late, great Donald Pleasence back as Dr. Loomis. I'm sure they're currently speaking with his agent.

Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson Avoid Glam Squad Nightmare Before the 2020 SAG Awards
Hollywood couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were easily on time for the 2020 SAG Awards, where Tom was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role for his uncanny portrayal of Mr. Rogers in "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood."
"Extra's" Renee Bargh caught up with the couple, who said they "had time to spare" in arriving Sunday evening after Rita's glam squad snafu nearly made them late for the recent Golden Globes.
Earlier this month, Rita's glam team arrived more than an hour and a half late to do her hair and makeup for the star-studded Globes.
At the Globes, Tom delivered an emotional speech while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award. Arriving at the SAG Awards, he reflected on the big moment, saying, "I look down there, I see my beautiful girlfriend, who is now my wife… I saw my beautiful babies who all grew up, had an out-of-body flash there for a second and I had a bad cold, so it all worked out."
For his part, Hanks said he is all better now. He shared, "I'm all over it. I drank a lot of soup and had my fluids."
Tom also explained the inspiration behind his Instagram posts of objects like gloves and shoes. He commented, "No, there's a story behind every one of them. You know? Someone lost that glove. Someone might need it. Someone who's wondering, 'Where did I lose it? Where did I lose that glove?' And there's other objects, too, that come along, and every one of them has a little… a little cinematic flash to it."

REDEVELOPMENT OF SEVEN POINTS UPTOWN PLANNED TO BEGIN IN THE FALL
A transformative project that will add new residential and retail space to Uptown's largest retail center is set to begin construction this fall.
Work is anticipated to begin in October on the repositioning of Seven Points Uptown. The project will redevelop a large portion of the center into new retail space, housing, and indoor parking while also updating the existing center itself.
Northpond Partners and Doran Companies plan to demolish the former CB2, Kitchen Window, and Famous Dave's BBQ Restaurant spaces on the south side of the center to make way for a new building addition. In the newly vacated space, Northpond plans to construct a seven-story building that will include 10,950 square feet of retail space, 272 apartments, and 218 indoor parking spaces.
Northpond Partners has partnered with local restauranteur Ann Kim (who is responsible for Sooki & Mimi across the street along with Young Joni in Northeast and Pizzeria Lola in South Minneapolis) on the new space. Ann will help with the creation of a grocery/market retailer that will occupy the ground floor retail space along Hennepin Avenue within the new building.
1/7 2/7 3/7 4/7 5/7 6/7 7/7
AMENITIES & RESIDENCES
In addition to retail space and indoor parking, the ground floor of the building will feature a residential entry located at the corner of Hennepin Avenue and W 31st Street. The space will include a large two-story residential lobby with a grand staircase connecting the first and second floors, leasing offices and a two-story sport court. Six walk-up apartments will be located along the alleyway behind the building which formerly was a part of Girard Avenue S.
The second floor of the building will be home to amenity spaces including a co-working space, game room, club room, and fitness area. Level three will feature an outdoor amenity space that will include an activity lawn, a spa and pool, and an outdoor grilling station.
Besides the walk-up units on the ground floor, most of the residential units will be located on floors three through seven. Units will range in size and include alcove, studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom layouts.
1/6 2/6 3/6 4/6 5/6 6/6
ADDITIONAL CENTER UPDATES
As a part of the project, updates will also be made to the interior and the streetscape surrounding Seven Points Uptown.
The existing center will receive a new, mid-block, entry along Hennepin Avenue that will lead to a new interior space with a large open staircase that will connect the first and second floor of the building. The entire existing building will also receive finish updates that will help modernize and elevate the center.
Streetscape improvements will include additional seating and landscaping along Hennepin Avenue and W 31st Street. A six-foot-wide sidewalk will also be added connecting W Lake Street to W 31st Street along with new art panels on the west side of the parking ramp, enhanced lighting, and additional greenery. Two other features of the project will be an outdoor pet run and a garden/on-site food production area on the south side of the existing parking ramp.
Designed by Doran Architects, the building will be clad in brick, fiber cement siding, metal paneling, and glass. The design of the building has been completed in a way that it will enhance the neighborhood through attractive design and activated uses on the street level.
The architecture of the building is designed to tie into some of the historical features found throughout the neighboring buildings. The building itself will step back beginning on the second floor and will switch material from brick to fiber cement and metal paneling which will define the residential component of the project.
This won't be the only new construction project at Seven Points Uptown. Plans are in the works by Doran to build another new building on a vacate site within the center located along W Lake Street. Plans for that project at the moment would include affordable housing, indoor parking and possibly some ground floor retail space.
Seven Points Uptown is located at 3001 Hennepin Avenue in the Uptown Neighborhood.

As the world continues to erupt in popular uprisings, it seems clear to me that this project must spread across movements. There is so much resistance in the world and I am far from much of it. Peace seems an unattainable symbol. A non-reality.
But what is Peace really? And how do we reach it? This project is about Redefining Peace in our era. Peace in a time where people are finding their voices and demanding their rights. Peace is unattainable. It is unattainable until Justice is had.
So what is Peace? That will be the goal of this exploration. Redefining Peace.

Azarenka Overpowers Sharapova for Second Trophy at the Sony Ericsson Open
Victoria Azarenka placed her name among the elites at the Sony Ericsson Open. Azarenka beat Maria Sharapova 6-1, 6-4 to claim her second title at this tournament becoming the eighth woman to have won the title a minimum of two times.
Participating in Miami for the first time since 2007, Sharapova cruised to the quarterfinals. However, the Russian fought off Alexandra Dulgheru and Andrea Petkovic to reach her third final in Miami.
After difficult three setters to advance to the quarterfinals, Azarenka dominated defending champion and world number two Kim Clijsters and coasted to victory in the semifinals versus world number three Vera Zvonareva.
Azarenka was in the zone early on. In the initial game, after Sharapova had double game point, Azarenka connected on a forehand up the winner for break point. Despite Sharapova surviving that one, on her third break point chance, Azarenka converted.
With a few miscues by Azarenka, Sharapova broke back quickly to level the set at 1 all. Still, as a result of two consecutive double faults, Sharapova went down 0-30. Later, when Sharapova sent a forehand wide, Azarenka had the break for 2-0.
With Sharapova spraying forehands and backhands all over the place and ineffective on the return of serve, Azarenka rolled five consecutive games which included two additional breaks to take the first set.

Petkovic Befuddles Jankovic to Get to the Semis at the Sony Ericsson Open
Once Andrea Petkovic took out world number one Caroline Wozniacki such a high may have led to a let down the following match. Instead, Petkovic did not to rest on her laurels and claimed another scalp. Petkovic defeated former world number one Jelena Jankovic 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 to move to her first semifinals at the Sony Ericsson Open.
Jankovic was sizzling in the first set. With Petkovic's backhand landing long, Jankovic converted the break for 2-1. Later, Jankovic got an insurance break for 5-2.
With Jankovic rolling, the rain came. When play resumed, Jankovic served a love game to seal the first set.
The pause in the proceedings gave Petkovic a moment to breathe and refocus. Consequently, her play improved. After holding to open the initial game of the second set, on a double fault by Jankovic, Petkovic had triple break point. The German capitalized when Jankovic's forehand up the line traveled long.
After dismissing four break points, Petkovic consolidated to go ahead 3-0. Later, with Jankovic serving to keep the set alive, Petkovic connected on a backhand winner to get to set point number three. With Jankovic's backhand sailing out of play, Petkovic slammed the set shut.
In the third set, Jankovic banked the break to get up 3-2 and consolidated after overcoming a love-30 deficit. But, Petkovic far from being down and out.
After holding at love, Petkovic manufactured triple break point with Jankovic's forehand going long. With a forehand crosscourt winner, Petkovic squared the set at four all.
Subsequent to withstanding three break points, Petkovic moved in front 5-4. Then, with Jankovic letting two game points escape, Petkovic was at deuce.

Sharapova Stops Stosur at the Sony Ericsson Open
Because of her shoulder surgery two years ago and the fact that Samantha Stosur is ranked number five, Maria Sharapova downplayed her 5-0 record against the Aussie. However, after a close first set, the Russian ran away with the match. Sharapova vanquished Stosur 6-4, 6-1 to move on to the quarterfinals.
After double faults played a huge part in the competitors exchanging breaks to open up the first set, Stosur dismissed break point to guard serve for 3-2. Next, when Sharapova double faulted, Stosur had a break point. Yet, the Russian held her ground to pull out the game and level the set at 3 all.
Then, Stosur caught the double fault bug. With two successive ones, she handed Sharapova double break point. Sharapova capitalized and took a 4-3 edge.
After going down 0-30 when attempting to consolidate, Sharapova succeeded in serving well and consolidated. Sharapova latter comfortably bedded the set.
Subsequent to dismissing a break point to hold serve in the initial game of the second set, Stosur was not so lucky her next time out. Sharapova broke to go ahead 2-1.

Blockbuster Showdown in the Fourth Round: Sharapova v Serena and Henin v Clijsters
For the most part, the first week at Wimbledon has gone according to plan on the ladies' side. As a result, defending champion Serena Williams will square off in the round of 16 against the woman who beat her in the 2004 final, Maria Sharapova. Similarly, the projected clash between Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters has come to fruition. This means that tomorrow, two individuals will be disappointed. Let's analyze how we arrived at this point and what lies ahead in the second week.
Top seed Serena Williams has simply run through her opponents. Likewise, Sharapova has had little difficulty getting to this stage, sending her adversaries home in straight sets. Serena and Sharapova have played seven times with the former winning five of those meetings. Curiously, since the 2004 championship, the two have never battled on grass. In essence, this will be their rematch. A significant factor will be how well Sharapova serves. If the Russian does well in that department, Serena could be in trouble.
Na Li and Agniezska Radwanska who face each other in the fourth round have yet to drop a set in getting this far. Radwanska holds a 2-1 record against Li and both victories have been on grass. But for both Li and Radwanska, the quarterfinals will be a tough ask with either Sharapova or Serena as a rival.
A definite stunner was the dismissal of French Open finalist Samantha Stosur in the first round by Kaia Kanepi. Previously ranked as high as 18 in 2009, Kanepi's placement dipped to 80. After ousting another seed Alexandra Dulgheru in the third round, the talented Estonian is in the round of 16 . Another surprise is Kanepi's opponent in the fourth round, Klara Zakopalova. The 28 year old had not gone pass the third round at a major previously. Zakopalova advanced by bouncing 18th seed Aravane Rezai in the second round and trouncing 10th seed Flavia Pennetta in the third.
Caroline Wozniacki, the third seed, has been splendid on grass as she attempts to better her fourth round result from last year. Jie Zheng, the 23rd seed, and Victoria Azarenka, the 14th seed, fell victim to Petra Kvitova in the second and third round respectively. Thus, Wozniacki takes on Kvitova in the round of 16. The Dane carried their prior two matches. Furthermore, with Kanepi or Zakopalova as a quarterfinal match-up, Wozniacki truly has a green light to the semifinals.
This was a disastrous week for the French Open winners. The reigning champion Francesca Schiavone went out in the first round. Last year's title holder and 19th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova crashed out in the second round. Ana Ivanovic, the 2008 victor, bowed out in the first round. Hence, Ivanovic's ranking of 45 will continue to head toward the cellar.

Henin and Serena Homing In On A Quarterfinal Clash
The sun has set on a the first week at the French Open. As usual there were upsets, many of them expected. However, Serena Williams and Justine Henin, two pre-tournament favorites, have not disappointed. As such, the much touted quarterfinal encounter between these rivals is one round away. Here is a synopsis of the main developments of the initial days.
A bunch of big names took a tumble in the bottom section of the draw. Leading the pack was Svetlana Kuznetsova, the defending champion. After a miserable tune-up, Kuznetsova looked every bit the champion in the first round. Moreover, with her back against the wall in the second round, Kuznetsova salvaged four match points against Andrea Petkovic to advance. But, by the third round, Kuznetsova had utilized all her life lines. She was taken down in three sets by Maria Kirilenko.
Victoria Azarenka, the 9th seed, has had a tough year. The 2009 Sony Ericsson champ was schooled by Gisela Dulko, exiting in the first round. But, in the next round, Dulko was herself stunned by South African qualifier Channelle Scheepers. Scheepers reached the fourth round where she was stopped by Elena Dementieva. Another surprise was Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez, the winner in Rome, also going out in the first round.
As the newly re-minted number two and a finalist in Madrid, expectations were high that Venus Williams would at least make the semifinals. In the first three rounds, Venus forged a statement not only with her attire, but with her play by bouncing her adversaries in straight sets. Yet, in the round of 16, Venus' game went through a transformation. Although this was their first meeting on clay, Venus had a 4-0 record against Nadia Petrova. Still, Petrova, a 2005 semifinalist, pulled off a straight sets victory. As such, for the fourth consecutive year, Venus was booted prior to the quarterfinals.
A combination of rain and obscurity resulted in a few matches being played over two days. When Aravane Rezai and Petrova resumed their third round with the third set leveled at 7, the French crowd was disenchanted as Petrova walked away with the win. Later that day, France's last hope, Marion Bartoli, in the top half of the draw, was eliminated in the fourth round by Shahar Peer.
After fighting through Aleksandra Wozniak in the third round and an easy fourth round win, 2004 finalist Dementieva is unquestionably a contender for the finals. Caroline Wozniacki, the third seed, is another. Following two uncomplicated rounds, Wozniacki was severely tested by Alexandra Dulgheru and still captured her third match in straight sets. Then, in the round of 16, warrior Wozniacki bested Flavia Pennetta in a three hour duel to move on to her first quarterfinal in Paris. Bothered by an ankle injury, as Wozniacki faces scrappy Fransceca Schiavone, who booted Kirilenko, she may need to duplicated her last performance

Dulgheru Repeats in Warsaw by Defeating Zheng in the Finals
Last year at the Polstat Warsaw Open, qualifier Alexandra Dulgheru, ranked 201st, beat Alona Bondarenko in the finals. As a result, Dulgheru became the lowest ranked player to prevail at this renamed event whose roll call of distinguished winners includes Justine Henin, Kim Clijsters and Venus Williams. Again, this year, Dulgheru, now world number 32, clashed with a seasoned competitor, Zheng Jie. The 20 year old triumphed over Zheng Jie 6-3,6-4 to obtain her second WTA title.
After Zheng had no problem her first two games, she faced triple break point when Dulgheru fabricated a forehand dropshot winner. Once Zheng's forehand crosscourt landed out of play, Dulgheru took a 3-2 lead. Despite a difficult game, Dulgheru consolidated for 4-2. Later, with a backhand down the line pass for a winner, Dulgheru captured a second break extending her advantage to 5-2. Serving for the first set, Dulgheru double faulted on triple break point, reducing her lead to 5-3. However, with a forehand up the line winner, Dulgheru had her fourth break/set point. By crushing another forehand up the line, Dulgheru broke for the third time to secure the set.
Subsequent to a tough hold to open the second set, Dulgheru arrived at break point with a forehand crosscourt winner. An error on the forehand crosscourt by Zheng allowed Dulgheru to seize a 2-0 edge. Yet, with three consecutive mistakes, Dulgheru gave Zheng triple break point. The Chinese woman got back on serve with a lob winner. Soon, with a couple of timely winners, Zheng had triple break point. When Dulgheru donated a double fault, Zheng captured the break for 3-2. Promptly, Zheng consolidated for a 4-2 edge. After Dulgheru held another hard fought game, she teased three straight miscues out of Zheng for triple break point. By Zheng netting a backhand, the players were leveled at 4 a piece. Then, by connecting with a forehand crosscourt winner, Dulgheru went in front 5-4. With Zheng serving and ahead 40-15, Dulgheru produced a backhand winner and provoked an error to reach deuce. After Zheng erased an initial break point, a miscue on a swing volley handed Dulgheru her second championship point. Dulgheru sealed the victory with a backhand crosscourt winner.
Still, for Zheng, it has been a terrific tournament, reaching her first final since 2006. Consequently, Zheng, the fifth seed and 25th ranked, will see a minuscule bump in her ranking. Caroline Wozniacki, the number one seed, retired with an ankle problem after dropping the first set to Zheng in the semifinals. While Elena Dementieva, the second seed, was booted out in the second round by qualifier Tsvetana Pironkova, third seed Li Na was bounced by Dulgheru in the semifinals and fourth seed Marion Bartoli in the first round. Qualifier Greta Arn took out sixth seed and 2009 finalist Bondarenko in the quarterfinals, thereby continuing the alarming trend of top players falling this clay season.

Serena and Venus Head the Field at 2010 French Open
Today, the French Open draw was revealed. Because Serena and Venus Williams are the top two seeds, the possibility of an all Williams final exists. However, with Justine Henin, a four time champion, a potential quarterfinal rival for Serena and Venus perhaps seeing Aravane Rezai or Nadia Petrova in the round of 16, the list of spoilers is extensive. Here's a snapshot of the likely key match-ups which may eventually determine the victor.
After months of being a spectator, Serena rejoined the tour in Rome where she reached the semifinals. Despite an early exit in singles in Madrid, Serena got reacquainted with the surface by prevailing in doubles along with Venus. Serena's first obstacle would come in the form of Marion Bartoli in the round of 16 since she would play a denizen. Still, Serena's biggest hindrance lies in the quarters. Serena lost to Henin, the eventual champion, in 2003 and 2007. On the other hand, that match may not materialize as Henin could battle Maria Sharapova in the third round. Samantha Stosur, a semifinalist in 2009 and the titlist in Charleston this year, is another potential tough quarterfinal opponent for Serena.
Following Serena, Jelena Jankovic is the next highest seed in the top half of the draw. With players such as Dinara Safina, Yanina Wickmayer and Vera Zvonareva returning from injury on Jankovic's side of the draw, she should have an uneven full path to the quarters. Agnieszka Radwanska or Ana Ivanovic could be Jankovic's quarterfinal adversary. Since her glorious days at Roland Garros in 2008, Ivanovic has slipped. For the first time in months, Ivanovic showed true signs of life with a semifinal posting in Rome. Perhaps it will take Paris to completely get Ivanovic out of her slump.
Venus Williams and defending champion Svetlana Kuznetsova flank the bottom half of the draw. So far this year, Kuznetsova's results have been mediocre. Consequently, for Kuznetsova, it is safe to deduce that a replay of 2009 is a long shot. In the first round, Kuznetsova faces a difficult opponent, Sorana Cirstea. Should she move on, Maria Kirilenko could upset her in the third round. Li Na and Francesca Schiavone could trouble Kuznetsova in the round of 16. Moreover, legitimate stumbling blocks in the quarters for Kuznetsova include Flavia Pennetta, Lucie Safarova, Alexandra Dulgheru and Caroline Wozniacki.
On the other hand, Wozniacki, the third seed, has been hampered by an ankle injury since Charleston. For that reason, Wozniacki has failed to make an impact after winning in Ponte Vedra Beach. In the third round, Wozniacki may see Dulgheru and Pennetta or Safarova in the fourth round. Considering the caliber of those rivals, it's doubtful that Wozniacki has lasting power.

Djokovic Done In By Rochus, Wozniacki Worms Through
Whilst rain had been forecasted in Miami at the Sony Ericsson Open on Friday, what was unexpected was Novak Djokovic's second round departure. Olivier Rochus ousted the world number two 6-2,6-7,6-4. Simultaneously on court 1, Caroline Wozniacki, the women's number two, was on the verge of an early exit herself. However, Wozniacki survived against Tsvetana Pironkova 3-6,6-3,6-4.
Rochus broke in the opening game. After consolidating, Olivier placed a beautiful backhand down the line winner to set up triple break point. Rochus converted a second break when Djokovic's backhand sailed long. After erasing a break point and extending his lead to 5-1, Rochus closed out the set his next time out.
In the second set, Rochus again obtained triple break point and with a backhand down the line winner took a 3-2 lead. But, Djokovic got back on even terms promptly breaking the next game. The set went to a tiebreaker where Rochus got ahead early on. Yet, Djokovic weathered the storm and stole the set.
The decisive set, after holding serve, Rochus was gifted a double fault by Djokovic and broke for 2-1. Then, by donating to his opponent a couple of errors, Rochus lost his edge. Soon though, Rochus worked his way to double break point and capitalized when Djokovic's forehand traveled long. Later on, Rochus fought off a break point and stretched his advantage to 4-1. After failing to secure the insurance break, serving at 5-3, Rochus committed a string of errors allowing Djokovic to stay in the match. Still, with miscues by Djokovic, Rochus manufactured break point/match point. Olivier pocketed the match when another Novak forehand went astray.
After the match, MiamiTennisNews inquired:
Q. Were you having problems breathing on the court? Looked like the conditions were a little bit heavy out there.
DJOKOVIC: Yeah, it was a bit humid, but, you know, he was making me run a lot so points were really long. That was exhausting.
Q. You've been playing a lot of tennis. Are you thinking of maybe rescheduling for the clay season?
DJOKOVIC: I don't know. I will have more time now I guess to rest and prepare well for clay.
On to the ladies, after dropping the first set to Pironkova, Wozniacki was behind in the second set. The world number two battled back and captured the break for 5-3. Subsequently, Wozniacki held to push the match to a third set.
In the ultimate set, Pironkova got a break early on and consolidated for 3-0. After finally getting on the board, Wozniacki earned triple break point and converted. Later at 3 all, Wozniacki took a go ahead break for 4-3. However, Pironkova fought back to 4 a piece. But, a resilient Wozniacki manufactured another break point and put herself in front 5-4 when Pironkova's forehand up the line sailed long. Then, on her third match point, as a forehand from Pironkova landed wide, Wozniacki punched her ticket into the third round.
With the rain backlog, Kim Clijsters' match originally scheduled on stadium court was bounced to an outer court. Regardless, for Clijsters, it turned out to be a practice session with a 6-1,6-1 thumping of Petra Kvitova. Like Clijsters, Vera Zvonareva put on a clinic against Melanie Oudin 6-1, 6-2. Maria Kirilenko crawled out of a 5-2 deficit in the third set against Melinda Czink to pilfer the match in the tiebreaker. After losing the first set, Lucie Safarova seized the second set tiebreaker then rolled over Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez 4-6.7-6,6-2. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the 22nd seed, continues to impress; the youngster beat Tamira Paszek 7-6,4-6,6-3 for a third round berth. Before the rain came, Victoria Azarenka, the defending champion, had a 6-3,6-2 victory over Alexandra Dulgheru. Jelena Jankovic, Dominika Cibulkova, Elena Vesnina and Shahar Peer were straight sets winners. Samatha Stosur was pushed to a third set by Carla Suarez Navarro and made it through.
Elena Dementieva, the 5th seed, suffered her 11th defeat to Justine Henin 6-3,6-2. Alisa Kleybanova, the 24th seed, fell to Sara Errani 6-4,7-5 while Jie Zheng, seeded 20th, was upset by Virginie Razzano in straight sets. For Alize Cornet, it was another disappointing tournament with an early ousting, this time by Francesca Schiavone. Schiavone prevailed 6-3,6-2. After being on the road six weeks and some heartbreaking losses, Cornet's 2010 record is now 6-9.
MiamiTennisNews wanted to know about Cornet's state of mind:
Q. You look physically tired, are you also mentally tired?
CORNET: Maybe a little, it's already many weeks that I'm away from home. I have not cut back in terms of training and I am someone who trains a lot usually. I rarely give myself time off, days of rest. I am becoming cognizant that I should take resting a little more seriously and from time to time award myself a day off. However, I think it's difficult with long stretches of tournaments as such.
Djokovic was followed on stadium court by Rafael Nadal. In no time, Nadal dispatched Taylor Dent 6-4,6-3. Andy Roddick and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had a no drama night with straight set wins over their opponents Igor Andreev and Guillermo Garcia-Lopez respectively. Ivan Ljubicic, the champion at Indian Wells last week, was forced to retire against Benjamin Becker after carrying the first set and the first game in the second due to a back injury. It was a tough day for the American males with Sam Querrey and James Blake going down after winning their first sets to Jeremy Chardy and Thomas Bellucci respectively. But, John Isner avoided the upset with a 7-6,2-6,7-6 victory over Michael Russell. David Nalbandian, Ivo Karlovic, Juan Carlos Ferrero, David Ferrer, Tommy Robredo, Nicolas Almagro and Phillip Kohlschreiber advanced.

On Tap At the 2010 Sony Ericsson Open For Friday March 26
Second round play for the WTA and ATP continue today at the Sony Ericsson Open with many top ten players from both tours on the schedule.
The morning starts with last year's Sony Ericsson Open champion, Victoria Azarenka, on stadium court squaring off against Alexandra Dulgheru. Jelena Jankovic and Caroline Wozniacki, the winner and runner up at Indian Wells, are on the grandstand and court 1 respectively. After her great play in Federation Cup, a rejuvenated Melanie Oudin faces a struggling Vera Zvonareva. This is another chance for the U.S. Open quarterfinalist, Oudin, to claim yet another Russian scalp. In the afternoon, Kim Cljisters works on sealing a third round spot versus Petra Kvitova on stadium court.
Novak Djokovic, the 2009 Sony Ericsson finalist, has a date with Oliver Rochus while Rafael Nadal will need to sidestep Taylor Dent to book a third round bid. Americans John Isner and Sam Querrey attempt to reach the third round for the first time in Miami, they will be in session on the outside courts. Charismatic Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a quarterfinalist in 2009, hopes to make short work of Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.
Saving the best for last. In the night session, Elena Dementieva will look to avenge her second round Australian Open loss to Justine Henin, as these two face each other for the 13th time. Although Henin has a commending 10-2 record in their head to head, this one will likely have spectators on the edge of their seats. The women will be followed by Andy Roddick and Igor Andreev. After a tough outing in the finals at Indian Wells, Roddick will try to rebound. With the players tied after four meetings, Roddick may have his hands full.

Trump wanted Kavanaugh to be more aggressive in this follow-up hearing, and did he ever get his wish. The judge nearly launched from his seat in raging anger several times — and that was just in his opening statement.
The tears? They were either a nice touch or a bit too much, depending on your opinion of the man.
There's nothing Republicans like more than heartfelt assaults on the conspiring, malevolent left.
It's baffling that Kavanaugh repeatedly refuses to agree to an FBI investigation. Because he's correct: The FBI reaches no conclusions. Hence his repeated refusals will remain a sticking point for Republicans on the fence, Flake, Collins and Murkowski.
I know one thing, and it's just about all I know regarding these competing sagas. If Kavanaugh can be that emotional and angry when sober, I sure as hell would not want to be around him when he's drunk.


Rex Harrison was a commanding presence in the movies and on stage throughout a long career. Best known for creating the role of Henry Higgins in the musical My Fair Lady, Harrison typically played witty, impatient, irrascable, fascinating characters.
Born into comfortable circumstances, Harrison suffered from the measles as a child, which cost him the sight in his left eye. Gravitating toward the stage, he made his debut at the age of 16 in Liverpool in 1924. Educated at the nearby Liverpool College, Harrison made his film debut in a soccer (footballing) comedy: The Great Game with John Batten (released in August, 1930), for Gamount-British, but he generally stuck to the stage, eventually attracting great notice by appearing in the West End production of French Without Tears in 1936. Noël Coward was impressed: "He is the best light comedy actor in the world — except for me."
And comedy was were he was to remain, in Men Are Not Gods with Miriam Hopkins (released in November, 1936), School for Husbands with Diana Churchill (released in August, 1937), and others until he was able to get himself into a thriller: Night Train to Munich with Margaret Lockwood (released in August, 1940). With England in the war, Rex found time to star in a film of Shaw's Major Barbara with Wendy Hiller (released in August, 1941). Harrison served in Royal Air Force during World War II, becoming a Flight Lieutenant.
Still, Harrison answered the call to help fill the cinemas of the British Empire, starring in David Lean's film of Coward's Blithe Spirit with Constance Cummings (released in May, 1945), but after the war, he agreed to make a string of films for 20th Century-Fox, beginning with Anna and the King of Siam (whichpremiered at the Chinese in July, 1946), and for which he and his co-star Irene Dunne, were imprinted together at the same ceremony.
The other films he did for Fox, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir with Gene Tierney (which played the Chinese in July, 1947), The Foxes of Harrow with Maureen O'Hara (played the Chinese in October, 1947), Escape with Peggy Cummins (played in July, 1948), and Unfaithfully Yours with Linda Darnell (played in December, 1948), made him very well-known to U.S. audiences.
Harrison won a Tony Award for playing Henry VIII in Anne of the Thousand Days on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre in the 1948 season. He was then in the Broadway production of Bell, Book and Candle at the Ethel Barrymore Theare in 1950; he would have been in the film, but couldn't because of a scheduling problem. Harrison starred in the West End transfer of T.S. Eliot's The Cocktail Party in 1951.
Then, a spate of films, like the mystery The Long Dark Hall with Lilli Palmer (released in February, 1951), or the comedy The Four Poster with Lilli Palmer (released in October, 1952), and even wide-screen spectacle: King Richard and the Crusaders (released in August, 1954, and where he played an Arab — the Emir Saladin opposite George Sanders' King Richard — wow), and Marriage a la Mode with Margaret Leighton (released in April, 1955).
But then, it came: The role he was born to play: Harrison created the role of Henry Higgins with Julie Andrews as Eliza Doolittle in the musical My Fair Lady at the Mark Hellinger Theatre on Broadway in 1956, and remained with the show until late 1957. Easily winning another Tony Award for his performance, he and the show became a world-wide phenomenon. Somehow, he had to get back to filmmaking in order to make stuff like The Reluctant Debutant with Kay Kendall (released in August, 1958), and Midnight Lace with Doris Day (released in October, 1960, and The Happy Theives with Rita Hayworth, (released in January, 1962.
And then there was that long, drawn-out journey to Italy to star as Julius Caesar in Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor (released in 1963). He's terrific in the first half of the film, but when he goes, he takes a lot with him. The big-budget films continued with the screen adaptation of his stage hit My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle (released in December, 1964, and for which, he would receive an Oscar for Best Actor), The Agony and the Ecstasy with Charlton Heston (released in October 1965), with Doctor Doolittle (released in December 1967) being his Waterloo; an expensive film which flopped at the box-office, Harrison expected to carry the film, but it didn't work out that way.
Still very popular and commanding huge fees for films, Harrison starred in The Honey Pot with Susan Hayward (releaased in May, 1967) and Staircase with Richard Burton (released in 1969), which was a dud. During this time, he wrote his autobiography, simply called Rex, published in 1974.
Turning to the stage once more, he reprised his role of Julius Caesar in a short revival of Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra opposite Elizabeth Ashley at Broadway's Palace Theatre in 1977, then continued his essay of Shaw's plays by playing General Burgoyne in Shaw's The Devil's Desciple at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles in late 1977. He played Henry Higgins in a revival of My Fair Lady in 1981 at the Uris Theatre, toured the U.S. in it, then did his last film: A Time to Die with Rod Taylor (released in June 1983).
Tony nominated for his role as Shotover in Shaw's Heartbreak House in the 1983-1984 season at the Circle in the Square Theatre (and which was recorded for television), Harrison starred with Claudette Colbert in a revival of Aren't We All? at the Haymarket Theatre in 1984, then took the show to a sold-out limited run on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in 1985. The now Sir Rex Harrison starred in a revival of The Admirable Crichton as Lord Loam at the Haymarket in 1989.
Harrison became inpacted by poor health in his later years, along with a failing memory. He died of pancreatic cancer in June, 1990; his death brought the show he was appearing in, The Circle, to a close. He was 82. His second autobiography, A Damned Serious Business: My Life in Comedy was published in 1991.

LeBron James earns NBA Community Assist Award
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James might have been busy this past summer deciding where his next stop would be after a brilliant four-year run with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
That didn't stop the planet's best player from making sure to give back to the community that raised him. Specifically, James opened up the I PROMISE school in Akron to help children less fortunate get a great education.
The school itself is something to behold. Having grown up in that area of Ohio, LeBron knows full well how much of a disadvantage children are at from an educational standpoint. And boy, did he do something about this.
For this and a whole lot more, James was awarded the Offseason NBA Cares Community Assist Award.
"Before the Lakers' home game against the Denver Nuggets tonight (10:30 p.m. ET, TNT), NBA President of Social Responsibility and Player Programs Kathy Behrens will present the award to James during an oncourt ceremony," the league said in a statement. "In addition, Kaiser Permanente and the NBA will donate $10,000 on James' behalf to the LeBron James Family Foundation."
By now it's well known that Mr. James and other top NBA players continue to give back to the community in a big way. While involved in the political differences of the day, the NBA's best player has also made sure to use his star power to do well within the community. The I PROMISE school being the latest example. For James, it's also one of the greatest accomplishments of his life.
"Opening the I PROMISE School is one of the best things I've ever been a part of because I know how important those resources are to these kids and families in Akron," said James. "To be able to create a place where they're excited about going to school and where they feel safe and supported – that changes everything for them. And for my Foundation, this is just the beginning for the I PROMISE School. We're still building and will continue to do everything we can to help these families with the challenges they face every day."
It's no small thing to see the NBA's top players give back in this manner. Good for you, Mr. James. It's an award well deserved.

La Real Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Caridad es un templo católico de estilo neoclásico y estructura metálica situado en la ciudad española de Cartagena, en la Región de Murcia. Su interior, dominado por la cúpula, recuerda a muchos espacios de la misma tendencia artística, basados a su vez en el Panteón de Agripa.

Es sede de la patrona de la ciudad, la Virgen de la Caridad, representada dentro de la iglesia por una imagen napolitana del . Destacan también varias esculturas de Francisco Salzillo y su escuela, como el Cristo crucificado, el retablo rococó de la capilla de la comunión así como el conjunto de la Virgen de las Ánimas, del mismo estilo, y los lienzos pintados por Manuel Ussel de Guimbarda en 1893.

Arquitectura

La iglesia de planta central o circular, diseñada por el ingeniero naval Tomás de Tallerie, se construyó en estilo neoclásico, conservando en su interior elementos de la antigua iglesia del , como el retablo del altar mayor que fue ubicado en la capilla del lado de la Epístola, y el conjunto rococó de la Virgen de las Ánimas en la capilla del lado del Evangelio. Además de la imagen de la Patrona, destacan en su interior esculturas de Juan Porcel o los cuadros de Ussel de Guimbarda.

Historia

El origen del Hospital de la Caridad se encuentra en el año 1693, cuando el soldado de galeras Francisco García Roldán constituyó una congregación dedicada al cuidado de enfermos en una casa del arrabal de San Roque, trasladándose en 1709 a la calle de la Caridad. Aunque en 1922 se aprueba el proyecto de construcción de un nuevo hospital en la barriada de Los Barreros, con capacidad para unas 125 camas, las obras no comienzan hasta mayo de 1929 y el traslado de enfermos a las nuevas instalaciones se lleva a cabo durante la Guerra Civil.

En 1723, el hermano Francisco Irsino trajo desde Nápoles la imagen de la Virgen que reside hoy en la iglesia, que pronto consiguió una gran devoción entre los cartageneros, al punto de que se recurrió a ella en 1789 y 1821, cuando grandes sequías atenazaban los campos. También se rezó masivamente a la Virgen en un brote de cólera en 1850 (véase «Epidemias de cólera en España»).

La primera iglesia del Hospital terminó de construirse en 1744, dirigida por el arquitecto Pedro Marín y posteriormente por Marcos Evangelios. La afluencia de fieles hizo necesaria la construcción de un nuevo edificio, y sería un siglo más tarde, en 1893, cuando se finalizaron las obras del proyecto de Tomás de Tallerie.

El 23 de febrero de 2012, el papa Benedicto XVI concedió al templo el título eclesiástico de basílica menor, y el 27 de febrero de 2019 fue declarado Bien de Interés Cultural por el Consejo de Gobierno de la Región de Murcia.

My name is Jenn and most days you can read about my creative adventures on my blog at A Jennuine Life. I live in Michigan with my physicist husband Dave and we have two little girls, Arden (four) and Hadley (two).
I can hardly express in words how honored and excited I am to be participating in this season of Project Run & Play. I've been following along since the very beginning and have discovered new fabulous and inspirational sewists to follow with every round of competition. I've sewed along with challenges where I was able, and have tried out for spots when they were open. So I'm sure you can imagine my happy dance when I received the e-mail telling me I was going to be a contestant! This community of Project Run & Play is the perfect combination of creative challenge, support, and camaraderie. I love, love, love it and all the people involved!
I work part time as an accountant, and I enjoy combining the creative and analytic sides of my personality at my cutting table and sewing machine while my girls are sleeping. My version of an epic Friday night is drafting patterns and sewing in my studio while hubby Dave watches TV in the next room and describes The Walking Dead to me so I don't have to watch the scary bits! I've been sewing since I was a little girl, even creating doll clothes on my Grandma's treadle foot Singer before I moved on to motorized versions. I became more serious about garment sewing when I found sewing blogs while Arden was a baby. I discovered the rush of drafting or modifying patterns as I gained experience and tried new techniques.
I can't wait to show you what I've been working on for the challenges, and to see what the other competitors and sew along crew have made!
Very interesting Jenn. Can´t wait to see what you'll come up for PR&P.
Yay Jenn!! I am excited to see your creations!
Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to.....and STILL amazed at your productivity!!
Well you two have a lot going on besides! I pretty much set everything else aside once commitments were met. I know you'll amaze us all!
How exciting to take part! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
I just have a feeling this is going to be an awesome season!
Sewing while the hubs watches "The Walking Dead"? I feel like you've just described my life. ;) Looking forward to your creations!
You too? I can't stand to watch it, but the story line is interesting. I'm getting so excited for it to begin! Happy sewing!
We love the walking dead, but I'll admit, I'm usually blogging on my laptop so I don't have to watch the gross parts! I did the happy dance too! :) And I love altering patterns once I figure it out! I get giddy!!! Fun to learn more about you!
I get all tense and have to look away, so it's better if I'm in the next room! We watched World War Z last week and I literally started to get nauseous! Fast zombies are Even worse! Even Brad Pitt isn't worth that much stress!
You all have such amazing work. I can't even sew a button on something. I get all excited with the kitchen appliances and leave the sewing to my mom but your outfits are fabulous.


There is nothing more comforting than a sweet and tart apple and raspberry crumble on a cold winters night. Serve with a dollop of cream or ice cream.
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsuis (350 degrees farenheit).
2. In a bowl add the cubed apple and raspberries and add the sugar, flour, lemon zest and lemon juice and mix together until the fruit is coated. Pour the fruit into individual ramekins.
3. In a mixer bowl add the flour, sugars, salt, cinnamon and butter and mix until the butter is mixed in and the batter starts to form pea sized clumps.
4. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit, making sure to not pat the mixture tightly. The looser the mixture the crumblier your crumble will be.
5. Bake in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the crumble topping is golden and the juices start to bubble through the crumble topping.
6. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream or freshly whipped cream, or if you are feeling indulgent, both!
Recipe adapted from Barefoot Contessa's Peach and Blueberry Crumbles.
