Tallahassee, Fla. -- The Syracuse Orange rallied, pushed and scrapped but finally came up short in the game's second overtime in a 101-90 loss to No. 23 Florida State here at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center on Saturday.
>>Box score | SU schedule
Tyus Battle scored a career-high 37 points, but it wasn't enough to carry the Orange to the win.
Battle, who scored 32 of his points after halftime, sent the game into overtime with his 3-pointer with 6.4 seconds left in regulation.
In the first overtime, Battle gave Syracuse an 82-80 lead on a jumper with 46 seconds remaining, but FSU's Trent Forest tied it on a running floater with 24.9 seconds left.
On a final possession, Battle dribbled and drew a pair of defenders before finding Oshae Brissett open in the corner. But Brissett's 3-pointer to win the game bounced off the rim, resulting in a second overtime.
By that time, Syracuse had already lost starters Frank Howard and Matthew Moyer to fouls. In the second overtime, an exhausted and depleted Syracuse lineup couldn't keep up with the Seminoles.
Syracuse lost its fourth straight game, falling to 12-6 overall and 1-4 in the ACC.
Florida State improved to 13-4 overall and 2-3 in the ACC. The Seminoles got a career high 23 points from 7-4 center Christ Koumadje. Braian Angola led FSU with 24 points.
Syracuse first rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to take a 48-41 lead midway through the second half.
However, Florida State came back on some ridiculously long 3-pointers from P.J. Savoy and Angola.
FSU leads the ACC in 3-point attempts (24.6) and 3-pointers made per game (9.19). On Saturday, the Seminoles went 11-for-32 from beyond the arc.
Rebounds a key
In a game in which both teams struggled to make a shot, the Florida State Seminoles beat the Syracuse Orange on the offensive glass.
Florida State crashed the boards to gather up 23 offensive rebounds. The Seminoles turned those extra possessions into 25 critical second-chance points.
Florida State's rebounding effort made up for its 33-for-82 (40.2 percent) shooting performance.
Syracuse fared no better on offense than the Seminoles, going 26-for-67 (38.8 percent) from the field, but the Orange lost the rebounding battle for just the third time all season. Florida State had 50 rebounds to 43 for the Orange.
It marked the third time in the last four games that Syracuse was out-rebounded by its opponent. Syracuse has lost all three games.
FSU a Mann down
Florida State was without its leading scorer and rebounder for Saturday's game against Syracuse.
Terance Mann, a 6-foot-6 junior, was held out of the game for precautionary reasons. Mann took an elbow to the head in FSU's loss to Louisville on Wednesday night.
Mann was averaging 15.1 points and 6.2 rebounds per game for the Seminoles. He had started all 16 games so far this season.
Mann had scored a personal ACC-high of 25 points in the loss to Louisville.
SU tries 3-guard lineup
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim gave extended minutes to the 3-guard lineup that had only seen snippets of action so far this season.
Howard Washington, a 6-2 freshman guard, checked into the game with 10:09 left in the first half. Syracuse was trailing 9-5 at the time. Washington came in for 6-9 forward Marek Dolezaj, leaving starting guards Howard and Battle in the game.
Battle moved to small forward on defense in the three-guard set.
Boeheim stuck with the three-guard look for the remainder of the half.
Upon entering the game, Washington immediately hit a corner 3-pointer. He finished the half with five points, one assist and one steal.
Syracuse's next game
After playing two straight games on the road against ranked opponents, Syracuse will return home to Carrier Dome for its next game.
Syracuse will host Pittsburgh on Tuesday night at 9 p.m.
Pittsburgh is struggling this season. The Panthers are 8-10 overall and 0-5 in the ACC after a 69-54 loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday.
Tuesday's game will be televised on the Regional Sports Network (YES Network in Syracuse).

D. Arnett: Progress in 3D simulations of Stellar Convection (Review, Wed, Aug. 23)
This was one of the review talks of session D in the Convection Symposium: "Stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis, and convective mixing".
3D simulations with modest resources were presented, where oxygen burning allows thermal relaxation for quasi-adiabatic convection. The computational domain is a subsection of the star. Multi-fluid, realistic physics allows astronomical connections to be made. A careful treatment of boundary conditions and initial models allows long times to be simulated. Finally, extensive graphical and theoretical analysis was used to extract physics. Much of the work was done by Casey A. Meakin (PhD student).
A comparison to 2D simulations shows that 2D simulations overestimate velocities (angular momentum constraint) and incorrectly give inefficient turbulent mixing. Movies of the core showed that in 2D one gets much higher velocities and a less homogeneous core.
After a discussion of 2D burning of C, Ne, O (flames develop because of entrainment of nuclear fuel), the buoyancy frequency, and density fluctuations (occur mostly at interfaces), a comparison of oxygen in 2D and 3D was presented. In 3D, the oxygen abundance is much smoother, better behaved, and there are less fluctuations.
Next, it was pointed out that the solar convection zone can be seen in a plot of superadiabaticity vs. radius as a tiny spike at the surface, and that "Stein and Nordlund country" includes only 3% of the Sun.
Waves are generated at convective interfaces. This can be seen in simulations of turbulent, compressible convection: Velocities do not go to zero at the boundaries (as when using MLT). Those are not convection, but waves (g and p modes).
The convective core grows by entrainment. In a graphic of abundance gradients (e.g. oxygen) as a function of radius and time one could see the convective core growing with time. Patrick Young is another collaborator and has incorporated a first version of the entrainment in the TYCHO code. Previously successful results for wide, double-line eclipsing variables (which used a simpler model) are reproduced.
Implications for the standard solar model:
- It has a problem - it does helioseismology too well.
- It is static - adding even small dynamic effects may spoil it.
- Dynamic effects on opacity diminish the helioseismologic discrepancies for the new abundances and increase them for the old composition.
- The increased diffusion and the He surface abundance are at odds - rotational stirring may be required.
- John Bahcall would have loved this new challenge.

I thought I would change things up a bit and let you know of a little project that I have going on. I don't know about you, but I am addicted to HGTV, especially all the flipping shows with houses, yards, furniture, you name it. My husband is sick of all the shows I watch but I can't seem to get enough. Recently, I have been binge watching Flea Market Flip where two people are paired up and compete agains another pair to redesign and reinvent old flea market finds. I love it. It sparked something in me. Like it's something that I can accomplish. I'm not going to become the next Joanna Gaines but I can definitely pick up some furniture or old knick knacks that need a little TLC and bring it back to life. I mean how hard can it be? It has to be easier than flipping a house.
The mister and I are on the quest to buy a home and I am so excited to get in there and decorate it. I have ben saving things that I want to do to my future house on Pinterest and Etsy like crazy. I have been going to arts festivals and saving cards for local artist because I got to support the locals! I just feel bad that I can't buy anything yet. And of course I have been watching Flea Market Flip like an addict. My daughter keeps telling me that I am hogging the TV with my grown-up show.
Well something that I have been thinking about recently is ways to get my daughter to do more chores around the house. Right now, its like pulling teeth. I ask her to do something and it takes a million years to get it done and I get a bunch of sass on top of that. I want to make it fun for her so I though of some ideas. Here's how my train of thought works. First I thought of a treasure chest but she wouldn't know what it was. Then I thought if I had multiple treasure boxes then it would be fun for her to pick her prize from a random one. So that gets me thinking of what would work for the multiple boxes. It brought me back to the day when libraries used to have those old card catalogs with all the cards in it. So I looked online and of course they are totally too big for the space I want to use and they are really expensive. Maybe they were a lot cheaper when libraries started getting rid of them. So them my mind wandered to post office boxes. Now that would be cool to have in my house someday! I really want to put furniture in that is unique and one of a kind so a cool vintage post office box would be great for what I need. And it would serve the purpose of multiple boxes that I could hide prizes in. But then the issue of money came up. There are some really cool ones on eBay but again they are out of my price range. I thought I got lucky when I found an old 1940's one that looked like it was in great condition for only $50. Problem was that it was in Oklahoma. I begged my sister who lives 4 hours away in Dallas to go and pick it up for me but she refused. Some sister. So I just thought I would give good old KSL a chance to see what luck I might have. Well, I struck gold. A kind gentleman was selling a 36 compartment square post office unit on KSL for $60. No pick up from Oklahoma, no outrageous prices. I told my husband I had to have it and reluctantly he said it was ok. So now I am the proud owner of a 1980's post office box!
My plans for it are really simple. I want to put a frame around it and add some wheels on the bottom to move it back and forth. The back is open and so I would need to put a door on it so the kids can't turn it around and get access to the prizes inside. Once that it done I want to paint it black and possibly add some sort of sign on top telling what it is. I'm no carpenter but I'm hoping that I have enough intelligence to make a frame out of wood. I mean, how hard can it be? I'm hoping that I can make it look nice and function the way I want it to.
I'll keep you posted on the progress, this is definitely going to be a learning curve for me but hopefully will pave the way for other future projects. If you are interested in a post office box of your own, just comment me and I can give you the contact for the guy I bought it through. Last I checked, he had 7 more that he was selling! I'm excited for my new repurposed post office box to come to life and I can't wait to show you my final project!

SUMMIT, N.J., Aug 25, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ: CELG) today announced that information was posted on the FDA Web site indicating that an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) has been received by the Office of Generic Drugs (OGD) containing a "Paragraph IV" patent certification, for REVLIMID (lenalidomide) 25 mg capsules. Celgene has not yet received the Paragraph IV notification letter identifying the filer.
Celgene intends to vigorously enforce its extensive intellectual property rights for REVLIMID and will file a complaint alleging infringement of Celgene patents after the notification letter is received. REVLIMID is currently protected by 12 issued patents listed in the FDA's Approved Drug Products List (Orange Book) and has additional patent applications pending. The issued patents cover REVLIMID's composition of matter, method of use, and polymorphs, as well as Celgene's RevAssist® system, the restricted distribution program as approved by the FDA. In order for the filer to prevail, the relevant patent claims must be deemed invalid, not infringed or expired.
About REVLIMID®
The active ingredient of REVLIMID (lenalidomide) is an IMiDs® compound. Lenalidomide and other IMiDs compounds continue to be evaluated in over 100 clinical trials. The IMiDs pipeline is covered by a comprehensive intellectual property estate of U.S. and foreign issued and pending patent applications including composition-of- matter and use patents.
REVLIMID is approved in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy in nearly 50 countries, encompassing Europe, the Americas, the Middle-East and Asia, and in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of patients whose disease has progressed after one therapy in Australia and New Zealand.
REVLIMID® is also approved in the United States, Canada and several Latin American countries, as well as Malaysia, Israel, Japan, Australia and New Zealand for transfusion-dependent anemia due to low- or intermediate-1-risk MDS associated with a deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality with or without additional cytogenetic abnormalities. Marketing Authorization Applications are currently being evaluated in a number of other countries.
Important Safety Information
Lenalidomide is an analogue of thalidomide. Thalidomide is a known human teratogen that causes severe life-threatening human birth defects. If lenalidomide is taken during pregnancy, it may cause birth defects or death to an unborn baby. Females should be advised to avoid pregnancy while taking REVLIMID® (lenalidomide).
Male Patients:It is not known whether lenalidomide is present in the semen of patients receiving the drug.Therefore, males receiving REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) must always use a latex condom during any sexual contact with females of childbearing potential even if they have undergone a successful vasectomy.
Special Prescribing Requirements
Because of this potential toxicity and to avoid fetal exposure to REVLIMID® (lenalidomide), REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) is only available under a special restricted distribution program. In the U.S., this program is called "RevAssist®". Under this program, only prescribers and pharmacists registered with the program can prescribe and dispense the product. In addition, REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) must only be dispensed to patients who are registered and meet all the conditions of the RevAssist® program.
This drug is associated with significant neutropenia and thrombocytopenia.Eighty percent of patients with del 5q myelodysplastic syndromes had to have a dose delay/reduction during the major study. Thirty-four percent of patients had to have a second dose delay/reduction. Grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicity was seen in 80% of patients enrolled in the study. Patients on therapy for del 5q myelodysplastic syndromes should have their complete blood counts monitored weekly for the first 8 weeks of therapy and at least monthly thereafter. Patients may require dose interruption and/or reduction. Patients may require use of blood product support and/or growth factors. (see DOSAGE and ADMINISTRATION)
This drug has demonstrated a significantly increased risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with multiple myeloma who were treated with REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) combination therapy. Patients and physicians are advised to be observant for the signs and symptoms of thromboembolism. Patients should be instructed to seek medical care if they develop symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or arm or leg swelling. It is not known whether prophylactic anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy prescribed in conjunction with REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) may lessen the potential for venous thromboembolic events. The decision to take prophylactic measures should be done carefully after an assessment of an individual patient's underlying risk factors.
You can get the information about REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) and the RevAssist® program on the Internet at www.REVLIMID.com or by calling the manufacturer's toll-free number at 1-888-423-5436.

About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma (also known as myeloma or plasma cell myeloma) is a cancer of the blood in which malignant plasma cells are overproduced in the bone marrow. Plasma cells are white blood cells that help produce antibodies called immunoglobulins that fight infection and disease. However, most patients with multiple myeloma have cells that produce a form of immunoglobulin called paraprotein (or M protein) that does not benefit the body. In addition, the malignant plasma cells replace normal plasma cells and other white blood cells important to the immune system. Multiple myeloma cells can also attach to other tissues of the body, such as bone, and produce tumors. The cause of the disease remains unknown.

9 tricks terminal in the Mac, which everyone should know
The command line, which can usually be accessed through the Terminal application, is usually considered the lot of advanced users, but this does not mean that it is some incredibly complex thing in itself. This is proved by the following selection of the Terminal's capabilities, which can be useful to the widest range of makovodov.
Some of these features may require the Xcode system, which can be installed free of charge from the Mac App Store (forced to warn, though, that it weighs a lot).
Prevent the launch of the screensaver and the transition to sleep with caffeinate
The caffeinate command, introduced in OS X Mountain Lion, is the console analog of the well-known utility Caffeine. The principle of operation is very simple - with running caffeinate your Mac will not go into hibernation mode or activate the screensaver. It can be run without additional parameters, but you can also limit its time to the timer, for example:
caffeinate -t 3600
Extract files from PKG using pkgutil
Is there a need to pull the file out of the .pkg batch file? Or look at the contents of PKG without installing it? Use pkgutil:
pkgutil --expand package.pkg ~/Desktop/
Free up some memory with purge
The purge command forcibly clears the disk cache and cache, which gives an effect similar to a computer restart. Although some say that the purge is more likely to have a placebo effect, it does manage to pull system memory from the "Inactive" category to the "Available" category, which will add speed to the system in situations where the RAM is running low. Use this command is very simple
... and wait a little while for the changes to take effect, usually it happens faster on Macs with SSD.
Use open to run multiple copies of the same application
Perhaps you already know that you can run GUI applications from the Terminal using the open command, but do you know that you can run multiple copies of the application simply by adding the -n flag? This example launches a new copy of Safari.
open -n /Applications/Safari.app/
Update OS X without App Store
Do you want to upgrade without running the Mac App Store? You have the command line and the softwareupdate command:
sudo softwareupdate -i -a
View a list of all the files that you have ever downloaded from the Web
Forgot what and where did you come from in the Downloads folder? The Quarantine system service keeps track of all your downloads in your database, and you just have to consult it with the corresponding query. The sqlite3 command with the following parameters will list the complete list:
sqlite3 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.QuarantineEventsV* 'select LSQuarantineDataURLString from LSQuarantineEvent' |more
If you are "stressed" by the existence of these records, they can be cleared by the following command:
sqlite3 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.QuarantineEventsV* 'delete from LSQuarantineEvent'
Hide files and folders from the Finder using chflags
Do you want to hide a file or folder from random eyes? Use chflags to make them invisible in the OS X GUI:
chflags hidden /path/to/file/or/folder/
Fortunately (or unfortunately), the hidden object will still be seen by the ls command. To return visibility, use the nohidden flag:
chflags nohidden /path/to/unhide/
Automatic substitution of long paths by dragging
If you drag any file from the Finder to the Terminal, the full path is displayed at the command line. The best use of this function is in combination with any command, for example, editing:
sudo vi (перетащите сюда файл, чтобы вставить путь к нему)
Create zip archive
When sending valuable files, for example, a mail attachment, it is useful to protect them. The easiest way is to put them in an archive file, closed with a password, for which you need to use the -e flag:
zip -e protected.zip /file/to/protect/

The distillery as well as producing Bath Gin and other drink products such as Hopped Rhubarb Gin, Cucumber & Jasmine Gin, Sloe Gin and Damson Gin, is open to the public by providing tours and gin making classes. As well as Gin based products the distillery shall also look to create exciting batches of vermouths, absinths, bitters, tonic water and even beauty products.
Tours & Gin Making Workshops Booking
Any additional queries please contact email@example.com
Bath's first Gin Distillery for 250 years
Stills all over the City were effectively stopped by The Gin Acts of early and mid 18th Century.
The Bath Distillery can be found below the Canary Gin Bar.
About our tours
Both options start with a welcome drink of a Bath Gin & Tonic on arrival with a short chat about the different botanicals we use and also the history of gin in regards to distillation. This is then followed by a tour of the distillery facilities and an explanation of the still and the distillation process with the opportunity to smell and feel a wide variety of botanicals. 30 minutes after arrival the tour experience ends with an exit through the gift shop and the opportunity to see all our Bath Gin products. Each tour visitor will receive a 50ml miniature of Bath Gin as a souvenir of the experience.
Gin Making Classes
The Gin Making Class then continues upstairs in the Distiller's Bar where the botanicals workshop will take place. Guests are offered a second welcome drink from a choice of any of the Bath Gin products (Classic, Cucumber & Jasmine, Rhubarb, Sloe). The workshop commences with a short explanation on how to make your own gin. This entails experimenting with different flavour distillates that have been produced in our distillery, in order to create a bespoke gin to cater to an individual's palate. This is all done under the supervision of a member of the Bath Distillery team giving explanations to flavour profiles, pairings and helping in the creation of some truly individual gins.
Blend your own
Each visitor will then have the opportunity to experiment with the flavour distillates on a small scale to establish their personal tastes. Once everyone is happy with the flavours they have combined, they blend them into their very own bottle of gin that is sealed on site and taken away as a souvenir. Additionally, the Gin Making experience also includes a 200ml Hip Flask of Bath Gin and a £10 voucher to be used in the gift shop or behind the bar for a chance to sample any of the 230 gins the bar offers.
Further information
Tours (lasting 30 minutes) - Due to the relatively smaller size of our distillery a maximum of 10ppl only can be accommodated for a session and is booked and paid for in advance.
The tours & gin making workshop's operate on Wednesday's, Friday's & Saturday's. Depending on party size tours may be mixed with other parties up to and including 10ppl.
Gin making workshop (lasting 2 hours) - maximum of 6 people per class can be accommodated.

Rania is a Sydney based Photographer and Graphic Designer.
As an avid fan of storytelling and self-expression, through music and the visual arts, she spent most of her time songwriting and drawing since the age of 6. A passion to play music and produce art became therapeutic, and an appreciation of creative expression through different artforms began. It was around the last year of High School that she volunteered in a youth committee called LOUD! Tribe that organised local events, and started to design festival posters, namely for the Bring it On! Festival as part of National Youth Week. This lead to more Graphic Design jobs for film festivals, cultural events and organisations.
In 2009, she discovered her love for Photography while studying a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Design. Once understanding the technicalities of using a Digital camera, to get more familiar with using it manually, she decided to shoot Parkour/Freerunning during its infant stages in Australia, leading to her love of capturing 'the moment', and interests in cinematic films and video games influenced her Photographic style.
A year later, she started up her own creative business called Thoradox Creations – working with a varied client base including city councils, music studios, theatres and youth centres. This opened up the door to photographing theatrical plays, live performances and behind the scenes production stills – which were perfect for her love of 'the moment'. Since then, her passion for capturing candid, narrative stills filled with emotion, movement and energy has grown – and a constant drive for creative expression continues.
Michael Lira – Is a Los Angeles based Australian born composer legendary for his work with seminal experimental bands Vicious Hairy Mary and Darth Vegas, Michael Lira has been a fixture of Australia's edgiest music since 1990.
His film and TV scores include Wyrmwood (2014), Rake (2013), The Slap (2012), The Hunter (2011), Staines Down Drains (2006) and The Einstein Factor (2004), and he has also performed live scores for the silent film Nosferatu to a sell out crowd at the Sydney Opera house (1922) and the Sydney Theatre Company's production of A Comedy Of Errors (2013). Lira's scores have won numerous awards, including the Tropfest Tropscore award (Apart, 2013), five APRA/AGSC awards for television music (A to Z of Contemporary Art (2013), The Slap (2012), Rake (2011), Staines Down Drains and The Einstein Factor (2004)) and an Australian Film Institute Award for The Hunter (2011).
With a keen ear and creative drive, Michael was able to find the identity of Circle of Ninja and infuse modern elements with traditional Japanese instruments.
David Vuong is best known for his performance as Hisashi in Hunt For Hiroshi. Prior to this he had spent time at the Powerhouse youth theatre also known as PYT studying and understanding the craft. It wasn't long until after he'd eventually joined a young group of performers at PYT known as "The Ensemble" for a short period of time.
He has also spent time studying film as a medium, that led to a small producing role on Hunt For Hiroshi.
David is also a practitioner of the martial art Wushu and has used his physical discipline to be a part of countless live physical performances during his time as a member with Team 9lives. This also helped him fulfill the physical demands of his role in the film.
He hopes to work in a wide variety of genres and although he is not completely closed to the idea of doing more action films, it is not the only realm he wishes to work in. His love for all kinds of films creates desire to act in all kinds of stories, expanding his art and craft.
Kiriako Nedelkos is a composer, producer and instrumentalist with Greek origins. He studied piano, songwriting and music production in Netherlands. He founded 2007 the Lucid Studios in Germany were he produced artists from Dance, Lounge, Reggae and Pop.
2009 he produced a Lounge version of the jazz standard "The Autumn Leaves" with the singer Cecile Bredie which was published on the famous Cafe Del Mar Sampler from Ibiza and reached in the iTunes charts Top 1 in Spain and Top 10 in Germany, Switzerland and England. 2010 he produced her album "Imagine Toi", a chilling mix of lounge and electronica, published by Oreole Records. Two songs of the album, Circles, featuring the guitarist Mickey Meinert, and Bang Bang, a Lounge cover of Nancy Sinatras version from the 1960s, were released on many compilations such as Café Del Mar 30th Anniversary, DPI Collection, Diamonds&Pearls from Germany, and Rosé Noche from Dubai.
2012 he started scoring commercials and short movies like "U Wanna Battle" from Özgür Arslan, a comedy about typical prejudices of Germans and Turks with the actors Maxwell Richter, Sammy Ounis and Ralf Richter. Since then he scored also different image movies for companies and creating sound design and FX for films.
Kiriako was excited to join the Circle of Ninja project, and collaborate with Michael Lira. Hard work created a unique score that truly gave Hunt for Hiroshi its identity.
Sam has always been into films since an early age, mainly interested in the action film genre.
He joined Team 9Lives in early 2000, and was one of the first members. Over the years he trained in martial arts, parkour and break dancing- providing the exposure to real life action.
In 2010 Sam started showing an interest in film making, as he began to question why certain choices were made as he watched on in the cinema. It had begun…
In 2011 he decided to put himself to the test, and thus begun his first foray into the film making world. Needless be said, he learnt the hard way that it isn't as easy at pointing the finger at a cinema screen and making claims.
In 2016, Sam completed his ambitious first chapter to 'Circle of Ninja', a story about the choices people make and the futures that come about as the consequence- even for ninjas.
"If you ask any aspiring director how easy is it to make a film, or write a script- and they respond with anything other than %#$&*^! then they are not going to get very far in this occupation. All I wanted was to put action on the screen when I started. By the end of Hunt For Hiroshi I came out caring about putting a film on screen. For this I am forever grateful, because now I respect what film making is about- quality story telling with characters that matter. All the action in the world cannot make up for one second of genuine connection to the audience."
Sam now helms Resilient Pictures, his own independent production company that aims to take Circle of Ninja to the next level.

Taki (Takehiro Abe) was born in Yokohama, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan on 26 June 1976.
He Grew up in the beach town of Chigasaki, Japan. Studied Chemistry at University in Yokohama then left before graduation to seek a new path overseas. Visited Australia in the late nineties as a 22 year old with little to no English, but decided to stay and live in Manly on Sydney's Northern Beaches. After the first acting role in Bondi Tsunami in 2004, it sparked a new passion and interest which has increased with each new project.
In 2004 he was cast as the lead role of 'Shark' in Australian Japanese Road Movie 'Bondi Tsunami', as spotted by the Director whilst competing in a surf competition. Little did he know he would be playing the lead character 'Hiroshi' in the action short film Hunt For Hiroshi (2014).
After various other small film projects, he received first minor speaking role in a Hollywood feature, The Wolverine (2013), followed shortly after by a speaking role in Angelina Jolie's World War 2 biopic Unbroken (2014).
Taki has enjoyed the opportunity of playing Hiroshi Tanaka, showcasing a stern but troubled character. It was a challenge to show his ideas and passion for the scenes, being limited to the 'box'- technical reasons / limitations that come from an independent film.
Taki continues to secure roles that allow him to reach to that artistic utopia. He would love to commit completely to acting as his profession and not have to worry about life's other responsibilities.
"There is a type of indescribable feeling that comes from seeing a beautiful landscape, or having a certain type of experience. When I am fortunate enough to receive a role, the challenge of trying to reach my own peak inside myself whilst creating that emotional response inside another person through my performance- this is the art that I am a part of, this is what I love."
Tyler has worked as a live performer for over 10 years specializing in Dance and acrobatics. Trained in Gymnastics and forms of martial arts such as Capoeira, Jiu Jitsu, and Kickboxing. He decided to continue this passion for performing arts by studying acting, soon after graduating from The Australian Film and Television academy, he starred alongside Aden Young & Alex Dimitriades in a gripping SBS drama mini-series "The Principal".
Tyler is also starring as a lead on a brand new outrageous comedy "Here come the Habibs" in 2016. Tyler's most recent stage appearances include a sword fighting warrior in Nigel Jamison & Gavin Robins international production "Clusters of Light" and "Bring It On" the musical Directed by Rod Herbert.
Hunt for Hiroshi was Tyler's debut role which catapulted him into the pursuit of acting greatness. He is now a Producer at Resilient Pictures and instrumental in the next phase of Circle of Ninja.
I started out doing creative writing when I was 14.
I have so many stories I wish to put on paper. And with every new project I start, I will do extensive
research on what other authors have done to make their stories engaging, and I apply them to my story projects. CoN and HFH would be my first step into screenwriting.
Every time I get into writing, I always imagine how the story would be like if it became a feature film. This helps me to capture emotions from the characters, and it helps keep my mind in the universe that I have created.
In almost everything that I do, I always have stories being played out in my mind, even as I am
writing this biography. It is never ending. It is exciting, as it is frustrating as I know that I cannot put
ALL my stories on paper in the time that I have. I grow attached to these stories and it is painful to
decide which ones I will not focus on. But it is exciting to move forward with the stories that do
make it. After this biography is done, the creative process will continue, and it will not end.
I have written plenty of short stories; some were for writing competitions. I am
now in the process of writing three novels. I am also working on a music soundtrack.
Aside from creative writing, I have done a few short films during my time in high school. I did a short
film for Visual Arts titled '10 Dollars Worth of Karma'. It was also an improvisation experiment, as all the lines were improvised.
I enjoyed exploring the development of Hiroshi and Hisashi's journey, and how it affects all the other characters. There's so much to tell in the feature film and we are just being introduced!
I aim to become a successful author and screenwriter. One of my goals is to see my other stories adapted into feature films. I am also aiming to write for video games as well, and be a creative advisor for the development process.
French born, Laurent is an American Australian actor. Over his life, he grew a love for storytelling, and found his fire in the world of acting.
Early in his career, Laurent was cast in a television series pilot called SoulKeeper, where he played a young exotic warrior in a massive science fiction universe. It was then that he found his calling in a mix of genres that found their core in action. And having trained in martial arts since he was a child, there was no denying of what his future holds.
Accompanied with his recent credit last year on Channel 7's Australia: Story of Us where he played John Wilson, a famous historical convict – Laurent has also been hard at work with the emergence of his larger independent roles being released this year, of which are from titles Hidden Peaks, Hunt For Hiroshi, and LARP: The Crowblade Chronicles.

The prevalence of this sort of arrogant nonsense is enough to make me question whether ANYONE should send their offspring away to college these days. "Higher education" in many instances seems to have become little more than a way to get parents to pay for the ideological harassment and indoctrination of their own children:
A bulletin board hung by a resident assistant in a primarily freshmen and sophomore dorm shames those who are have white, male, Christian, able-bodied, heterosexual, or cisgendered "privilege."
"Why can't I hold all this male privilege," reads one meme on the bulletin board hanging at Appalachian State University.
"'I don't see color' which also means I deny having white privilege," reads another flier on the red board adorned with colorful puzzle pieces.
The fliers are products of the "Check Your Privilege" campaign started by three University of San Francisco professors, as previously reported by Campus Reform.
In other words, a Gramscian propaganda campaign of creating class, racial and gender envy as a precursor to revolution, started by some tenured (i.e. "employment privileged") ivory-tower Marxists has spread from the Left Coast all the way to Appalachia. Just great. How, exactly, is this different from living in a totalitarian reeducation camp, also designed to tear down and rebuild your sense of self-identity?
I've had more than enough of this incitement to jealousy crap. So as a Christian white heterosexual able-bodied male (who also happens to be only the first in my family's history to have gone to college, and not because my parents paid for it out of pocket), let me be blunt: everyone in America is living in the civilization my ancestors and their culture built. That you are doing so is a PRIVILEGE — one you were born to, the same as me. By virtue of being born in the USA, regardless the circumstances and challenges that accompanied it (and we each have our own), you are ALREADY better off than two-thirds of the people living on this planet! Try focusing on what you have instead of what you don't, for a change.
This nation is not perfect (I defy you to find one that is), but tearing down a successful society because you want to obsess over past–or perceived–sins isn't "enlightened." It's STUPID. It's also stupid to reject–and actively fight against–the premises that made this nation what it is (i.e. self-reliance, self-restraint, family commitment, and that oft-derided "protestant work ethic"), and then claim those who held to them are somehow 'privileged' because their life choices produced better results. Try some applied science: if you don't like your personal results, change your personal formulas! Don't go trying to turn this land into the same sort of factionalized war-torn hellhole that predominates too much of our world already.
If these radical egalitarians put half the effort they do into this well poisoning into something useful to society, they might find their paycheck getting larger, among other social benefits. I realize being a normal working stiff isn't as exciting as, say, role-playing Che Guevara, but you really ought to compare the likely outcomes of those two approaches to living (and dying) before making that choice.
If you REALLY believe you have no opportunity to succeed here — that society won't let you have anything (I'm looking at YOU, Mr. College Student Resident Hall Advisor who draws a stipend), then GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! That's another 'privilege' you have here that doesn't exist in many of your favored national models — the ability to emigrate anytime you like. I'm sure your talents for cut-and-paste propaganda and antisocial energy would be eagerly welcomed in places like Cuba, Venezuela or, if you're really ambitious, China.
They are NOT welcomed here!
Now that I've addressed this particular residence hall advisor, it's time to ask Appalachian State: what the hell are you paying this kid for? To create a hostile living climate? How about focusing on something more practical, such as figuring out why nine of your students have died just in this school year alone — at least three ruled by suicide? There's such a thing as challenging one to see things from a different perspective, and then there's gross harassment and reverse bigotry, which, for all you know, may be part of your problem. If you consider this RA's actions appropriate, then you should just come right out and say that Christians and Caucasians are not welcome on your campus. And families should plan accordingly — i.e. refuse to send their kids there. There are far too many educational choices available today to be willing to put up with such hostility, and parents need to be closely scrutinizing exactly what environment they are sending their kids into.
Sadly, as the spread of this ridiculous campaign shows, the problem isn't just one university. Which is part of why the Oldest Musketeer is attending a community college, where students aren't considered full-time suckers to pay for classes that focus on this sort of indoctrination. His mother and I are only too glad to have him continue living at home, so that if he does encounter such nonsense, there's an antidote available that same day. And after working a year before starting classes, he's paying as he goes, without taking out student loans to subsidize status symbols like the latest iGadget. When he finishes his degree, he'll be debt free and have options. He's going to school to learn a useful skill and become gainfully employed, not to become part of a revolutionary vanguard.
Though more and more, I worry he and his brothers may one day have to help put down the inevitable full fruits of this insanity that has infested our social institutions. Freedom, in the end, isn't a privilege. You have to be willing to fight to have it — and to keep it.


text:
Today's management literature is filled with references to speed. If we're following the trends, we're all growing more "agile" and likely "lean" in the process. We're working in "sprints" and "bursts," and of course, we're "teaming" whenever possible.
Other firms are "reacting aggressively" to competitor moves and one CEO I was talking with described a "blitzkrieg move" (lightning warfare) into a new market segment. Another top executive emphasized wanted his team to be more nimble in response to competitor issues.
All of this motion may be helping our waistlines, dancing moves and cardio health, but I'm not convinced that speed is always the right answer.
Sometimes you just have to slow down to go faster.
4 Key Situations Where Pausing Before Acting Makes Good Business Sense:
1. Hiring Key Talent. While you might be critically short of talent in certain areas of your business, this is one area where haste will indeed make waste that you can ill afford to create. Hire slow. Get to know your candidate over time and in multiple settings. Work hard to assess mutual culture fit and involve the candidate with his/her potential team members. The opportunity cost of a poor key hire is too big to let the need for speed govern your actions.
2. Learning to Better Understand Your Customers/Prospects. Surveys, focus groups and executive customer visits are no substitute for taking the time and doing your best imitation of an anthropologist, observing customers or prospects in their natural settings. Watching individuals interact with your offerings or, better yet, trailing them for a period and cultivating a deep understanding of "a day in their life," is a slower moving, deliberate process that has the potential to gain more insights and ah ha moments than a lifetime of online surveys.
3. Responding to Competitor Moves. While this might seem like the perfect situation to employ instantaneous response, there are many situations where a pause to better understand the move and cultivate a thoughtful, complete response may be in order. If your competitor is playing checkers, you might want to redefine the game as chess. The danger on one hand is being lulled into an unwinnable and ongoing set of tit for tat moves that destroy value for both firms. Also, a good competitor will throw strength against your weakness and if your response is from that perspective, you end up chasing your tail for a long time. Consider a broader response. Use your superior understanding of your customers to redefine your package of offerings. Kick back with something you do very well that is meaningful to your clients and let your competitor chase you. In most cases, simply matching a response is a fool's game.
4. Restructuring the Team/Organization. This is one that some firms engage in like clockwork, and while organizational design is indeed a competitive tool, it is one to use sparingly and only based on a crystal clear strategy. Too many firms restructure first and then look for the strategy, when the right approach is to do just the opposite. Beware the temptation to simply move boxes on charts and think you are solving something. Most often, you're not.
The Bottom-Line for Now:
I prefer adjusting my team's cadence to the demands of a situation over an ungoverned pursuit of speed. And yes, sometimes the cadence is fast quick cycles, sense and respond, but in the circumstances above and many others, good managers see the risks in speed and the gains from slowing to consider the next actions. This coping with speed places huge pressure on top management to clarify strategies and goals and for all members of a firm to strive to connect their work and their pace to the bigger picture. While speed is inherent in our world, sometimes it truly pays great dividends to slow down and assess the situation.

Current Students
2015 Academic Council Student Elections Results
On behalf of the chief electoral officer (the Registrar), we are pleased to announce the successful candidates for the Academic Council student elections for both undergraduate and graduate students. Please join us in congratulating Paige and Beth!
Undergraduate student elected – Paige Morrison – BAPC
Paige Morrison
Hey I'm Paige. I'm running to be the undergraduate representative on RRU's Academic Council. Here are a few things about me: I finished high school one year early through a wonderful online educational institution, Chinook Learning. I took that year off to waitress full-time and realized I wanted more from life. Next was SAIT, and it changed me for the better. My 2-year diploma in Radio Broadcasting reignited my hunger for knowledge. I learned how to write for the ear, produce commercials, interview, present the news, and speak publicly. On a deeper level I started to learn how Canada and the world function. I'm taking my Bachelor of Professional Communication at Royal Roads. After this, I plan to apply to UVic's Faculty of Law for a Juris Doctor coupled with a Master of Public Administration. My goal is to work in government. Throughout my education, I've been given a lot of incredible chances. When I look around and see that my peers aren't all given the same opportunities, I'm disappointed. I'd like to live in a world where my neighbor is given the same opportunities I am. Canada is a wonderful country, but we could make it better. Please choose me to represent you as Undergraduate Student Representative on the Academic Council, the first step in my journey to changing the world.
Graduate Student elected – Elizabeth Barberree -Leadership –MA
Ms. Beth Barberree, BA, RMT
I am pleased to stand for election as the graduate student representative to the Academic Council of Royal Roads University. Currently I'm enrolled in the Master of Arts Leadership – Health program and have a keen interest in public policy. My leadership skills and experience, outlined below, describe my suitability to be a Council member. As the Royal Roads Academic Council is mandated to undertake review of educational policies within the context of the University's educational plan1, I have years of experience on various community and professional boards of directors that can assist with this review. Beginning in 2002, I have served on provincial and national Boards both as President (five years) and Director for the Massage Therapist Association of Alberta (MTAA) (eight years), and Director for the Canadian Massage Therapist Alliance (four years). My most recent role with the MTAA was as Chair of the Professional Development (PD) Committee that revamped approval processes for both course content and instructor qualifications. The intention was to support relevant professional development opportunities for the MTAA members and bring the program in line with other jurisdictions and MTAA strategic plan, mission and vision. I believe this experience provides a solid foundation that can be expanded and applied to serving the Council's objectives. Whereas the Council is further charged with setting criteria for determining academic standing, issuance of documents that indicate program completion, and recognition of academic excellence2, my experience crafting entry to practice criteria and performance indicators for the MTAA makes me familiar with championing high standards. I appreciate the importance of providing clear, detailed, and fair indicators of performance. For instance, I chaired the committee that applied to see massage therapy be regulated under the Alberta Health Professions Act. This resulted in direction by then health minister to proceed with policy development to comply with the Act's requirements. As a student in the Leadership program, I have expanded and honed my personal leadership skills and serving on the Council would continue that. I recognize the intricacies of establishing and environment of trust and transparency among students, faculty, and administration. Being a part of this learning environment has inspired me and I'm motivated to give back to the University and my peers as a Council member.

By Robin Arnold
I woke up in a hot sweat about 3 weeks prior to our due date, thinking "oh my goodness", if the baby arrives early we so aren't ready. I seemed to have in my mind a window of expected delivery that was anything from two weeks early to 10 days overdue. So as the due date passed and the days slipped by and nothing happened, and nothing happened, and 12 days later still nothing had happened, I started to wonder if I really was pregnant, or if I had just eaten too many meat pies.
On the other hand, I felt quite apprehensive about the actual birthing process and about becoming a Mum, so I felt no desire to interfere with the process. As long as baby remained healthy we would wait. Day 13 we decided to go out for dinner. I'm not sure if it was the curry, or the threat of another scan the following day that did it, but later that evening contractions started, 10 minutes apart.
I remember two things about my birth plan at this point in time, one is that my support people wanted to be informed as early as possible and the second was to get as much sleep between contractions as I could. Phone calls were made. As for getting as much sleep as possible? Euan was keen to encourage this, but what I wasn't expecting was the pain BETWEEN contractions! I headed down into the lounge and moved about trying to find a position comfortable enough to be able to sleep between contractions, because lying down sure wasn't working for me. Then I realized that I didn't want to be alone, and asked Euan to come down and sleep in the lounge to be near me. He looked at me a bit oddly and then with a "don't mess with a woman in labour" look, kindly obliged. He trudged down to the lounge covered in duvet and fluffed himself up a wee nest on the floor.
At around 4am Euan stirred to check on progress asking me how long between contractions; "5-7mins apart, I think". He decided to set the pool up and said it would be helpful if I could let him know when I was having a contraction. I told him I would hum through my contractions and then he would know. "What, another?" he said, in which I hummed a little louder in reply! Actually I found humming to be quite soothing, the vibration in my chest was quite a pleasant sensation – well at least for this stage of my labour.
I had it in my head that 6am was a reasonable time to call my support people and ask them to come over. I was anticipating that there was no rush, that labour was likely to go for a while, and having well rested support crew would be a good thing when I REALLY needed their support. So at 6am the call went out.
Things really started to shift over this next hour, I waited in anticipation for further support to arrive as contractions shifted from 5 mins a part to 3 minutes …watching eagerly out the window for further support to arrive – this would be the last hour I spent looking at much at all.
I've just realized I was vomiting as well – I had almost finished this record of events before I remembered that. It is true, there is some hormone in a womens body that makes you forget how horrific this is!
I heard Charlotte arrive and converse with Euan in the dining area, everything inside my head wanted to perk up and be friendly and welcoming and perhaps even a little jovial. However the physical intensity of what was happening was shifting my attention inwards, and all I managed … was "Hi".
Not long after this I proclaimed "I think it is time for hot towels"- what it meant for me was that I was ready for some pain relief. Dutifully my support crew set about 'doing' hot towels. The birthing mat went down and the pre-pool position was acquired – kneeling on floor, forehead to sofa chair.
Not long after, Juliet slipped in. I could hear Euan updating her on progress in hushed tones. I seemed to have an acute sense of hearing and found it strange that they were whispering and frustrating that I was unable to partake in this conversation. I was aware of my external world primarily through sound from this point on. I don't remember making much eye contact with anything other than what my brow rested on and hoped that my mono syllable sentences were enough for my loved ones to anticipate my needs. I think Juliet did a heart rate check and spoke to me – I have no idea what she said – but the phrases, perfectly normal, and doing great must have been repeated a trillion times over the hours to come, and how reassuring those words became.
Juliet went to the kitchen to give some assistance with the hot towels. Charlotte made some inquiries and I remember Juliet saying 'don't worry she'll let you know what she wants' which gave me permission to do just that, and as this process was mastered the laying of towels became a one word instruction … NOW
After an hour or two? Juliet asked if I wanted to try the pool. After being so amazed at how great hot towels were, I was a little hesitant to leave them. The pool was fantastic but this bit just seemed to go on and on and on and hurt and I wanted to ask if I was progressing – dilating? – "how much further poppa smurf?" but I was afraid to hear something I didn't want to know, so I focused on the present and didn't ask. Juliet was amazing. I hung out for her words of support and direction, 'you're doing great' 'lean back into it' 'how about trying …' and then from time to time she would place the fetal heart rate monitor on my abdomen, and advise that everything was normal. How reassuring.
I was in the pool for a couple of hours. I remember thinking Euan must be in such pain. Thank you for being there – holding what must have been an incredibly uncomfortable position for hours.
Juliet suggested a few different positions, I wasn't even sure I could move. I would set about focusing all my mental attention into how I could move my limbs. It seemed a very arduous process. Then came the suggestion, "Sometimes it helps to sit on the toilet". Juliet said it may take 2 or 3 contractions to get there. And I thought '*#@!# it will not!' So once I had digested the comment and prepared myself to move, without any warning to my support crew, I did just that – in almost a run – dripping water everywhere. This must have sent Euan and Charlotte into a bit of a flutter – I don't know how they did it, but hot towels kept coming in.
I don't remember much of what went on in these final stages, except heart rate monitoring, pushing, hurting lots and feeling like this baby was never going to come out. Our baby on the other hand appeared to be cruising through the birth, heart rate barely registering the enormity of the situation.
From here, Juliet suggested that Euan grab a stool and that I lean on his legs in a squatting position and this is where it all started to happen. Juliet asked for the mirror so Euan could see, and although I did not think I'd want to see this, it was pretty amazing! Here was a head starting to crown. This was really motivating and made pushing seem like a worthwhile exercise and bit by bit, with Euan and I watching, our little baby began to emerge.
As her head appeared, Juliet saw her lift her elbow and wrapped over her shoulder was her umbilical cord. In one swift movement Juliet broke the amniotic sac and untwisted the cord. Then with a further push or two our baby was born.
12.48pm was the birth time recorded. Some would say 14 days late. I would say she was born right on time. Every decision we had made up to this point was to provide our daughter with the most natural and gentle birth that circumstances would allow. Thank you Juliet for all the information you provided us in making these decisions and support throughout our pregnancy, birth and the six weeks following. You were an angel.
Thanks to my husband Euan and my friend Charlotte for you unwavering commitment and nurturing throughout the birth. I am so delighted that collectively we were able to provide Emily with such a beautiful start to her life. She is a truly content and joyful baby, and I'm very proud to be her Mum.

First of all, I want to clear one thing up. This is not a "sweet romance" in the way that the romantic community define it as a genre:
A 'sweet' romance doesn't usually contain explicit sex scenes. Referred to alternately as 'tender' and 'wholesome' this range of books spans the spectrum from the very chaste, faith-based 'inspirational' stories to those stories which reflect contemporary attitudes toward sex but which stop at the bedroom door…just.
There's explicitly defined, close-up sex in this, and sex becomes an issue pretty early on. If I had to peg a genre for this, it would be New Adult romance, with its preoccupation with college, growth and, yes, sex.
But is Dormitory Dearest sweet in the more sugary sense? God, yes. And it's delicious. This is, in fact, one of the most best lesbian books I've read in 2017.
Nerdy Natasha goes to University
Nobody knew me, I could reinvent myself if I wanted, I could be a totally new person and carve out a completely different path in life if I so chose. But once I got to school, i found that I simply couldn't help but be me. Geeky, introverted, freaky me.
Nerdy Natasha.
The book is kept to the tight perspective of Natasha, a freshman at college, a geeky introvert who is simultaneously extremely analytical and completely clueless. She admits to having trouble with empathy and frequently can't figure out the best way to handle other people's emotions. In fact, she seems to be very much on the spectrum, or at least neurologically different to her classmates.
Her Arts program dormitory of geeks and her sweet, supportive roommate Whitney give Natasha the chance to fit in better and open up more, gaining some self confidence. She still, however, can't admit that she's the big L word, despite acknowledging that "logically, I knew I was a lesbian."
Then she becomes infatuated with Hosannah, a kind-hearted junior who is frank and open about being lesbian, and about her attraction to Natasha. It seems like everything Natasha wants is opening up to her.
Only Natasha's own personal issues stands in the way of her happiness. But they are a pretty big obstacle. Especially as Hosannah has been burned by "gay until graduation" before, and doesn't want to be used as another straight girl's passing experiment with bisexuality.
A loveable and realistic cast of characters
Natasha is really well written. She is smart, almost puppy like in her desperation to love and be loved, and completely useless when it comes to people. She will tell the girl she is trying to impress that her stand up routine wasn't funny, dump all her personal problems on a professor who has said "Can I help you?", and, more dangerously, string along a boy she wants to be friends with because saying "No, I'm a lesbian with a girlfriend" seems too difficult.
At times Natasha is frustrating in her social ineptness and lack of empathy. What makes up for it is that she is truly caring as well, just so fixed in her own perspective that it's hard for her to relate to other people.
Hosannah is really likeable. She's incredibly patient with Natasha, who she obviously adores, but also draws lines and tells her to cut the crap when Natasha goes too far, such as seeing Whitney's bereavement only in terms of how it affects Natasha. She is willing to put in the time to help Natasha cope with coming to terms with her lesbianism—and coming out—but not to be a doormat.
Natasha's friends are wonderful, too. Really, this is a book with no bad guy. There's a lot of conflict and drama, and it all comes from the conflicts within Natasha as she tries to navigate her new life, and makes mistake after mistake.
The whole book feels incredibly authentic and drew me straight in.
Why it's not a lesbian sweet romance…
There's not a lot of sex scenes, but what there is is lengthy and explicit—and at the same time very lacking in porny feel. Natasha describes everything with her typical obsessive attention to detail, and her sheer joy in relating details like the lack of symmetry in Hosannah's nipples or Hosannah's little pot belly is very endearing.
Natasha is straightforward about wanting sex and what she describes as "the inevitability of sex", and that's oddly charming. Her unabashed pleasure in physical intimacy is cute as hell, and you can see why, despite her sharp corners, Hosannah sees her as worth the patience.
…and why it's a sweet lesbian book
Dormitory Dearest made me laugh out loud, and also made tears prickle my eyes. I read it pretty much in two sittings, despite it being a full length novel.
The most important thing for me in any lesbian fiction is that I care about the characters. I really cared about the oddball heroine and her beloved, and really wanted them to sort things out and be adorable together.
Absolutely, especially if you are looking for lighthearted lesbian fiction. This was a really enjoyable, tender, often funny read, and I'm looking forward to reading more books by Nicolette Dane.

While pest infestations like spiders and ants are a nuisance and can usually be eliminated easily, there are some pests like termites that pose a much larger threat to your home. At Ledford's, we've seen the damage that termites can cause and we know it can be detrimental. That's why we offer residential termite control services that can find and eliminate your problem quickly and effectively.
Termite Damage
Whether you're dealing with drywood termites, subterranean termites, or even Formosan termites, your home is susceptible to structural damage. Each one of these termites feeds on cellulose, which is found in both wet wood and dry wood. It can also be found in common items like cardboard, paper, cotton, and more. Once a colony of termites finds a food source of cellulose, it will continue to eat through it until it's gone.
As termites eat, they leave behind large holes or cracks in the wood and over time, these holes and cracks can weaken the wood and cause it to bend, sag, buckle, or even collapse. When this happens to an area of your home, it can be a serious problem and can take lots of time and effort to fix.
If you believe you have a termite infestation, we want to help you eliminate it as quickly as possible to minimize the damage done to your home. Give our residential termite control service experts a call today to set up an inspection appointment. Once we determine the area and the severity of your infestation, we'll get to work with effective solutions that get rid of your termites once and for all.

Endodontics treatment
Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure to treat infection at the centre of a tooth (the root canal system). Root canal treatment is also called endodontics. The infection is caused by bacteria that live in the mouth and invade the tooth when tooth decay occurs, fillings leak or teeth are damaged by trauma. The root canal system contains the dental pulp and extends from the crown of the tooth to the end of the root. A single tooth can have more than one root canal. The pulp is made up of soft tissue that includes nerves and blood vessels. If bacteria infect the pulp, it will begin to die. After this, the bacteria can increase in number. The bacteria and the substances they release will eventually pass out of the end of the root canal through the small hole where the blood vessels and nerves enter (dental abscess). This process continues as there is nothing to stop more bacteria passing down the root canal, which causes the tissues around the end of the tooth to become red and swollen. This can cause your tooth to become painful and, in extreme circumstances, your face may become swollen. Although root canal treatment is available on the NHS, the constraints on budgets mean that the success rate is less than private endodontic treatment. Much more time and better equipment and materials are used in private endodontics, giving a higher success rate meaning you can keep your tooth for longer. In most cases, the best option is to place a crown on a root filled tooth, however this is not always the necessary.

Justice for Underride Accident Victims
Our attorneys help you get justice
Truck accidents have a very high probability of causing a devastating injury. Underride accidents can be especially devastating and are often fatal. Victims of underride accidents and their loved ones deserve justice. Legal representation can help victims receive the proper compensation that they deserve in order to best re-adjust to their lives and cover expenses. The lawyers at Tracey & Fox are here to help.
Underride accidents occur when a passenger car collides with the side or back of a truck, ending up part-way or completely underneath the trailer. It isn't uncommon for the trailer to actually cross through the windshield and into the passenger vehicle. The injuries suffered by drivers and passengers are usually quite serious.
As is the case with many truck accidents, multiple insurance companies can be involved with the legal proceedings. Different insurers may cover the cab, trailer and cargo. This means dealing with multiple insurance companies, which means multiple denials of responsibility and greater challenges establishing negligence.

The Strom
Last night I heard a crash of trees. I was scared so I went into my parents room. I was terrified. I woke up because I was scared. I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning. My cat was scared and frightened too. It looked like my cat was going to crazy. It was scary. It was creepy and terrifying.

Borehole drilling has started today at the site near Berwick-on-Tweed, Scottish Borders. We aim to drill a 500 metre deep core through the Ballagan Formation and use this as a correlation tool for the new tetrapod fossils being discovered. The borehole will also allow us to find out more about how the environment and climate changed over time and the links between this and tetrapod evolution through Romer's Gap.
Here are some exclusive photos of the drilling:

Drilling progress
So far the drilling rig has been set up and the first few metres of rock have been drilled. The top of the hole has been cased with concrete to secure the hole, then proper rock drilling will start tomorrow. This initial preparation drilling has revealed that the first 10 metres depth of rock are sandstone, good news as this corresponds to the rock type at the top of the Ballagan Formation that we have recorded during fieldwork. Dr Dave Millward, Dr Tim Kearsey and Mike Browne from the BGS are supervising the drilling to monitor which rocks are being drilled through and make a first pass record of the core that is coming out. I will visit the site to look at the core in a few weeks' time.
TW:eed in the News
The TW:eed team have hit the press, with a fantastic 2 page article in The Scotsman on Sunday yesterday about the borehole drilling. We were also in the Berwickshire News recently. These articles describe why we are undertaking this project and explain it really well to the non-specialist. Fantastic!
You can access The Scotsman on Sunday online article and comment section by Dr Tim Kearsey of the BGS.
Keep following for updates on the drilling!
Until next time

Outlaw Marriages
The Hidden Histories of Fifteen Extraordinary Same-sex CouplesBook - 2012
In Outlaw Marriages , cultural historian Rodger Streitmatter reveals how some of these unions didn't merely improve the quality of life for the two people involved but also enriched the American culture.
Among the high-profile couples whose lives and loves are illuminated in the following pages are Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams and Mary Rozet Smith, literary icon Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, author James Baldwin and Lucien Happersberger, and artists Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg.

In 'Outlaw Marriages' author Rodger Streitmatter chronicles the hidden relationships, both tender and turbulent, of fifteen same-sex couples in recent history. What I appreciated most about this book was the sheer amount of information that was new to me; I'd had no idea about the backgrounds of many of these fascinating women and men. Many a time I interrupted my reading in the middle of a chapter, inspired to find out more (e.g., listen to Fanfare for the Common Man, search for images of Johns' flag paintings, find Baldwin's books at the library). On the other hand, I also found the writing somewhat irritating. The chapters were laid out rather unimaginatively -- formulaic and dry. The author also came across as self-congratulatory at having coined the term "outlaw marriage," forcing it into the text at every conceivable opportunity.
Let's just keep these "extraordinary same sex couples" hidden forever please.
I was curious about this book from the title. Having grown up in the 50's, I knew little about gay relationships. I have to agree with Thorinbear. It is not a book I would enthusiastically recommend.
Does nothing more then rehash tired sterotypes as gays being nothing more then artsy/lit types and lesibians as social crusaders for women only. There is no real other ancedoatal evidence that these men/women lives were better off in these relationships. The evidence seems to indicate otherwise. The writing is deeply biased.
Loved reading about these "outlaws"! Some were a surprise to me but others I already knew were queer. How they lived and managed their lives, and how open or not they were about their relationships was fascinating to read about. Many thanks to Roger Streitmatter for putting this book, these stories, together for us.
