After full time, and a brutal overtime section, it was a pair of free throws from the hands of the front line of Oakland University that resulted in a regular season loss for the Golden Eagles. The game took place on Monday night, Nov. 27, on the wood floors of the Mabee Center, starting at seven and not ending until after nine.
Going into overtime 81-81, Oakland (3-3) caught a quick turn over towards the end off of a good shot in by Nick Daniels. Directly after shooting, Daniels received a foul from ORU's Javan White and the free throws that resulted would create the score at the end of the game.
The team shot 45 percent at both the field (33-72) and the three range (10-22). The night was a career high for senior preseason All-Summit League pick Albert Owens, shooting 33 and rebounding 10 for a double-double with seven blocks.
The team emerged from the head to head with Oakland with a record of 1-7, creating a seven game losing streak.
"We had a chance, and I'm really proud of the guys after being down 10 at halftime," said HeadCoach Paul Mills. "We will have to capitalize on what we saw in the second half. Albert did a great job. He made the right plays and unfortunately, the guys around him couldn't capitalize."
As part of the 2017 Progressive Legends Classic, Emmanuel Nzekwesi was named to the sub-regional All-Tournament Team.
On Wednesday Nov. 29 the Golden Eagles took on Big 12 team Kansas State and suffered 68-77 loss.
ORU heads back on the road for the next three games, beginning with a trip to Kansas State on Wednesday. The Golden Eagles will then travel to Little Rock (Dec. 2) and UNLV (Dec. 5) before returning home for two more games.
As December continues, the team looks to play other teams like Arkansas on the 19, Minnesota State on the 21, and conference starting match against Omaha on the 30.

One Final Note on Life
by C. M. Lanning
The day Death came for me was of much smaller consequence than younger me ever thought possible. And older me is just fine with the way events transpired, for I didn't want any Pomp and Circumstance.
When you're young and think about dying, if you can even begin to process the very thought, pushing back ignorance and fear, you figure the world will stop. It may seem arrogant, but that's how young minds think. Invincible and the world revolves around them. It's a bit charming when that doesn't dominate the entire personality.
But as I grew older, and a few friends even called me wiser, I began to realize with seven billion people on this dust ball that the vast majority of those people would continue on drinking and marrying as if I'd never existed in the first place. And the acceptance of that idea began to provide me a bit of comfort. For when young and beautiful, attention is craved and desired. But when old and wrinkled, to be left alone by the rest of the world is serenity.
So it came to be that I got sick. That's a common thing when you get old. The body just can't fight things off like it used to. Now don't get me wrong. Some folk can plow the field until they're 99 and die in a rocking chair on the front porch, a moderate amount of strength remaining with them until the not-so-bitter end. I was not one of those people.
When the doctors gave me my diagnosis at the age of 82, I had a choice to make. I could fight like Hell for another four to six months of life contained to a hospital bed and owe it all to a cure worse than the sickness, or I could make my peace, enjoy my last weeks until Death came for me. I chose the latter.
I didn't have much in the way of a bucket list because my life was plenty exciting up until this point. As a writer for the biggest newspaper in the country, I traveled the world covering wars, interviewing diplomats and documenting the course of history for the better part of 65 years.
That's right, my writing career was one whole human old enough to retire, and I'm damn proud of it.
I wrote the final words of heroic soldiers as they lie dying on the Earth. And I delivered questions to powerful, though not always righteous, souls whose decisions impacted millions beneath them. The thing both had in common was at the end of life, they'd walk the same path, the path I too ended up walking.
And, at the ripe age of 80, I laid my pen to rest. I'd said all I had to say. Well, almost all. But the final piece of my writing could only be accessed once I'd made the journey no living body could make, and yet one every soul would.
The day I started that journey began like any other. I was up at 6:30 a.m. sitting on my porch and watching the first pink and orange hues begin to dot the horizon. I knew from the unsteadiness both in my hands and my heart that this would be the last one I saw. And I was okay with that; this sunrise was as spectacular as the thousands in my life that came before it.
I'd already set my Earthly affairs in order with lawyers and folk smarter than I. They assured me my possessions and things I couldn't take with me would be left to the designated few I'd chosen.
With limited strength, I tidied up around my house. With a guest as potent as Death, I surely didn't want the place looking sloppy. My military father had raised me better than that. Bed made every day, sheets so tight one could bounce a quarter off of them.
And at last, when I felt my endurance dwindling, I sat down on the couch and breathed a deep sigh.
I never considered in all the times I wrote about a personified Death that it would see my work. But somehow, it did. And as my long life passed before me, good moments and the bad, my words began to fill the air. Every article I'd ever written, words that would remain long after I made the journey were poured over me as though I were a clam in the deep sea. And then I was free. Free of pain, free of sorrow, free of every earthly thing that ever weighed me down.
Death helped me up off the couch, and no muscles creaked or bones popped. We walked to the front door in a world where my house was the only one. Gone were the neighbors, and all other of man from the world.
All that remained was a dirt path over a seemingly endless pasture under a bright orange moon and all manner of twinkling stars beyond my ability to count.
"This is the path," was all he said and motioned me forward.
The path we walk at the end of life materializes differently for all, but we'll all end up walking it regardless.
So I walked through the dirt and grass with bare feet that felt no pain. No bugs crawled up to bite me. No snakes struck my heel. And I walked at peace, breathing clean air with a mind at ease.
Time isn't measured on the journey at life's end. You just walk onward until you know when to stop.
At some point, I came to a wooden bench next to a rolling stream. I sat down and found some paper and the pen I'd put to rest. This is where I wrote my last few notes, having completed the journey.
To whoever reads this, know I am happy. If there were regrets, I don't recall them. And that's just fine by me.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems are key to protecting the data that we rely on so heavily in the modern world. While the data centers that store our information have layers of redundancy to protect information in the event of failure of a server or storage media (such as a drive), if the power disappears suddenly then data is at risk of corruption or loss.
To protect equipment from mains-borne transients, most UPS equipment are 'online' types that convert the incoming mains from AC to DC, pass it through a battery and then invert if from DC back to AC again for the load. Inherent in this type of UPS is mains conditioning, which protects the server from the mains-borne spikes that can lead to damage and / or premature failure.
However, as the mains input is converted twice (online UPS are often termed 'double conversion') then efficiency is a critical consideration. With rising energy costs, not only are data center operators paying for the cost of any wasted energy, the costs associated with cooling also increase.
Among the biggest contributions to overall losses in a UPS are losses caused by the switching activity of bridge circuits. These switching losses increase as operating frequency increases – and raising operating frequency is an approach that is used to reduce the overall size of the UPS. Toshiba has developed techniques that can significantly reduce these losses in power converters built up by Super Junction MOSFET's.
The first technique, Synchronous Reverse Blocking (SRB) addresses the reverse recovery charge associated with the freewheeling diode commonly found in half-bridge topologies. By adding a second synchronously controlled switch and a Silicon Carbide (SiC) diode, this contribution to switching losses can be eliminated almost completely.
Recharging the output capacitance of SJ MOSFET's during every switching cycle is another major source of switching losses. Here, Toshiba's patented Advanced-SRB (A-SRB) utilizes a charge pump voltage source within a dedicated driver IC to pre-charge MOSFET output capacitance Coss during the deadtime prior to a switching transition, reducing associated losses dramatically.
Toshiba has produced a detailed white paper on improving efficiency in half-bridge based UPS systems covering the theory behind the advances as well as practical realization using Toshiba's driver modules. To get your free copy of this white paper, please click here:

Case Study: 17823
Bath Road, Slough
Contract Length
3 months
Civil Engineering / Demolition / Fencing / Brickwork / Structural Engineering / Cladding / Flooring / Plumbing / Painting & Decorating
The client was moving premises a short distance and had external plant which required moving as well as new services which required connection. The works incorporated the installation of new a gas compound, pipe bridge, perimeter fencing, and bock paving.
The works were to be designed and installed in line with client specification and approval.
The existing two large gas tanks in a fenced off compound were situated in the car park of the old premises and these had to be re-sited to the new premises.
Due to the site being a live production site the works had to take place while the clients personnel were onsite and in several phases so not to impact production. Works were programmed to the client's wishes and planned accordingly.
The position of the gas tanks was a good distance from the service exit point of the building. Once the tanks and adjacent temporary buildings had been removed, the walling and floor had to be tidied and made attractive and useable. A new perimeter fence was also required to maintain security. The works had to be carried out giving the clients staff safe access into the building by Youngman boarding over rough terrain from fence line to plantroom doors.
The new base had to be installed with new tanks and piped system all commissioned and filled before existing system could be isolated and drained off. This would ensure no impact on product processing. The base had to be broken with minimal vibration due to a very sensitive plantroom adjacent.
The first phase was to excavate and form the new base foundation for the new gas storage tanks. The bases were designed and calculated for the intended use and installed to specification. Once completed the client arranged to have the Gas storage vessels installed. The next phase was the fabrication and installation of the new pipe bridge. The pipe bridge was fabricated off site and installed onsite. Excavations were made with pre-calculated load bearing concrete bases installed and the columns were bolted into the bases. The bridge was then assembled and painted with metallic oil based paint. Whilst the gas pipework was installed and commissioned, we installed the perimeter fence. All fencing was of a prison mesh construction and powder coated to match pipe bridge. Cladding was then installed to the outside of the pipe bridge at the client's landlords request to shield the pipe work and pipe bridge from general view. Once all the pipework had been signed off we then installed Uni-Strut to the bridge and prison mesh to protect all pipe work. The third phase was the removal of temporary packing building and timber link to the production building. This work was tied in with the clients programme to meet the exact timeline of the completion of their new packing department, so the old building had to be demolished in a weekend so as not to affect their production. The portable cabin was carefully disengaged from the temporary timber link building and moved to one of the clients other sites where we could carry out a dilapidation of it, in readiness for it to be returned to the supplier. The link building was carefully removed from the production building and disposed of. This work involved isolation and removal of electrical and fire alarm services and demolition of structure along with making good of brickwork and fascia's to the production building. The fourth and final phase incorporated civil engineering works including demolition of existing gas storage tank, compound fencing and base foundation. The solution for reducing vibration when removing the base was done by cutting the slab into many smaller pieces then lifting out into an adjacent skip. Large amounts of spoil had to be removed and all waste was recycled. This phase included the installation of several hundred square metres of block paved surfaces to North and Western perimeter and the installation of the perimeter prison mesh fencing to define the boundary of the clients land. This phase was problematic for various reasons and had to be planned in a way to not compromise any of the fire escape routes. The finished job gives a pleasing finish throughout. Practical, easy to use, safe and secure.

Certain things should be got out of the way swiftly in life : measles, chickenpox, using hair mousse, first love, experimenting with eyeliner, learning how to drive, working out what the washing machine is for and how not to boil silk knickers at 90 degrees etc. I didn't do any of this (with the exception of the eyeliner). In fact, when it came to the motor car I was practically retarded and wasn't licensed to drive one without adult supervision until I was 32. I learnt nothing about the common sense stuff until I was 30. Carpet shampooing, grown up clothes shopping , where to buy good tights and the importance of the three week wax (I am not talking about the car this time) was all a mystery to me until I hit my thirties. This is because when I was a charming yet supercilious adolescent I was too busy listening to The Doors LPs and plotting about how I was going to get on an aeroplane and marry Val Kilmer.
Halcyon days, kids. Plotting to marry Val "Jim Morrison on the weekends" Kilmer was basically a full time job because the bastard was married already. Dammit. His wife was the florid, fragrant Joanne Whalley, who tagged her new husband's name on the end of hers just to make everyone sick with jealousy that she's gone and married him. Val Kilmer was already firmly ensconced in my heart as the future Mr Bluebird, but then he signed up to be Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone's The Doors and my cup of Kilmeresque love basically ran over. Jim Morrison was probably the most delightful thing ever to be on the cover of American Billboard, the prettiest boy sitting on Venice Beach in the late 1960s. There was some stuff about him marrying a peculiar witch or something, but I still thought he was Mr Hot Stuff. Unfortunately, he was dead. (First rule of the Bluebird marriage lottery : pick a live victim).
Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison was the most exciting thing to happen to me in 1991 – with the exception of learning how to smoke. I was very pleased about the latter, as surely Jim would think it terribly rock on roll to have a fag on the go. Not that Val had a fag on the go, of course. He was all man. He quickly jettisoned the brat pack in terms of my posters of the moment. Rob Lowe? Bin him. Moody fashion shots of early 1990s models in imitation early 60s bouffants from Elle? Get rid. Kiefer Sutherland avec quiff? Shred the fella. Nothing existed but Val, who, for reasons that weren't entirely apparent, my father started referring to as Valerie. Operation Val sped with miraculous speed throughout my adolescent world. I didn't even notice the Gulf War had started and ended, so busy was I playing the first album, imaginatively titled The Doors, over and over and over again.
Dad and the whole "Valerie" thing had started to make sense. In order to truly understand The Doors in all these Venice Beach, Gothic, William Blake-esque splendour, I was forced to listen to them at top volume. This meant for either of my parents to get my attention they had to send a carrier pigeon, bang loudly on the ceiling, shout and scream or suddenly appear in my bedroom doorway hollering: "THERE'S PHONE CALL FOR YA" whilst making urgent "telephone" shapes with their left hands. It wasn't Val on the phone of course, that would just be weird. My parents annoyance wasn't helped by the fact that my bedroom was built in about 1590, and the walls would shudder with every Morrisonesque wail about wanting to have sex with his own mother. I think the 12 minute version of The End did my parents heads in in particular.
When The Doors film was in progress, I seriously considered jumping on a transatlantic plane and putting myself forward for the role of Pamela Courson, Morrison's snake-hipped, smack-eyed paramour for much of his short adult life, but dammit if that Meg Ryan didn't get in my way AGAIN by taking the role herself. The Megster and I have had battle lines drawn since that morning in a cafe when she right put me off my sandwich. Basically, I was sitting there, happy as Larry, with a brioche, and she then started to…..erugh. I can't say it. DISGUSTING, that's what it was. With Pamela's films shoes filled, the only other role open to an aspiring 15 year old actress from Watford was the freaky white witch type character, and hand-fasting aint how I roll. Desperately upset, nothing remained but to wait for the film's release. The only slightly interesting item on the agenda was an imminent trip to Paris, where I could join the other emotive 15 year olds from around the world mooning tragically over Morrison's grave.
Soon, in a bizarre death-over-life hostile takeover, I realised Jim Morrison was inhabiting my imagination more than Val "Cheekbones" Kilmer was. Val Kilmer seemed to be – dare I say it – a little bit dull? He was more pottery than poetry. He had a house without a roof in the desert but apart from that he seemed dreary dreary dreary, so I veered over to his character instead. Soon, I knew everything about Morrison, from his date and place of birth to his father's military career, to the details of the Miami trial for obscenity and the somewhat gruesome poetry he seemed to churn out by the hour. When I won a music prize at school I was told to chose an appropriate book for £10. I chose "Jim Morrison : Dark Star" by Dylan Jones. I was asked to meet the Deputy Head, and requested to chose another book as she thought Jim Morrison's crotch jaggedly sticking out from the front of a glossy book would cause the Board of Governors to have a collective stroke. I stuck my ground. I got my book, and meanwhile set a precedent; within a year books on Prince and U2 were being given to Fourth Formers who had gone through decades of having to read dreary rubbish about Grieg's melodies. Or something.
When the film finally came out in the UK then, I was so excited that I could barely sit still, and gleefully counted out the days on the calendar on my wall. I saw it in a Cannon cinema in the West End. My mother went to the screen next door to see Thelma & Louise, which she wasn't at all sure about it afterwards, because she said "it made it look okay to kill people", which boggled my mind a bit. Nothing was that exciting in The Doors film. I suppose it couldn't be anything but a let down. It seemed to go on for a bit too long, feature a Jim Morrison who had had a humour bypass and lacked pace. When the screen said '1968' half way through a montage 90 minutes in, my exasperated friend turned to me and said "What year did he die? Is it soon?" Meg Ryan was upstaged by her own wig. Val Kilmer looked doped up , as Jim Morrison would have been, but actually just ended up looking as if he was bored. He was very pretty, however. And sang his own songs like a trooper. But the script wasn't poor.
Val uses an open shirt to distract from the fact that after 12 years in the Business known as Show, he still can't quite work out where the camera is. To your left, son – your LEFT! Meanwhile, the original version on the right does it all a whole lot better. Lovely.
Still, it was two and a half hours of Val strutting about in leather trousers, so what's not to like? However, I was upset by the whole fat period with beard, sloppy bits of whisky in his hat and big belly. But at least it prepared us for the Val of the future. Imagine my horror, dear friends at pictures of Val in the last two years. He ate all the pies. And the cakes. And the KFC buckets. Nevermind a shadow of his former self, he is now the widescreen version, with eyes like piss holes in the snow and keeping to an average of seven meals a day. When the loves of one's youth turn up aged and grisly, we are always shocked, although we shouldn't be. Part of the shock is self-referential – if Val Kilmer is 106, how old does that make me? I am not suggesting for a moment that Kilmer should have taken a leaf out of Morrison's book and stayed young, having died in a Parisian bath at 27 (very selfish – did he not spare a thought for the chambermaid?). But growing old disgracefully doesn't just let him down, but lets all of us down as well. The passing years are written on him. One glance at his podgy chops and eighteen years ago doesn't feel like yesterday anymore.
I hardly listen to The Doors these days, but I do have the film on DVD and find I enjoy it now more than I did then. I sing along with the songs more than I did then. I think of the film more fondly than I should. Although it is a shock that Val(erie) Kilmer is now 50! – 50! – it's even more of a shock to see that had Jim Morrison lived he would have been a stately 68 years old, and would basically look like Keith Richard. Never mind all the drugs, they'd just whizz him off to Geneva and give him a complete blood transfusion every couple of weeks and he'd be totally fine. There's no dude like an old dude. But, my Jim Morrison years are over.com, and these days Val Kilmer is more Old Man than Ice Man. Thank goodness for celluloid then, where youth springs eternal and – for a moment – so do we.

George is SO funny!
It's George's last night with us. While I was out this morning, daughter arrived home. Did he "kill"? Definitely not. Not even a bark, but when she went to bed (having been on night shift), he insisted on sleeping on her bedroom floor. Then tonight I was tormenting him by hiding his "pull" behind me. "Watch. He'll bark at me in a minute." Wrong. All of a sudden he turned round and round had half rolled over. He won the toy! This is what he's been taught to do to get his dinner "Sit, lie down and roll over". Who could resist that "please"?

Trusteer has discovered a new malware that is targeting banks. It bears some resemblance to the Silon, a piece of malware that defrauded customers protected by two-factor authentication. It underwent two revisions and continued to do well into last year, then went into decline.
Dubbed Tilon, it is a classic Man in the Browser (MitB) software, which captures all traffic carried by the browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). It captures all form submissions from the browser to the web server and transmits them to its command & control server. Thus it obtains information on all login credentials and transactions.
It also controls traffic to the browser and through a search and replace mechanism and replaces URLs and other text with text of its own. This is standard stuff of Zeus and other banking Trojans in recent years. What is interesting is the scope of evasion techniques it uses to duck detection by antimalware products.
It won't install properly on a virtual machine, evading detection on machines that are often used by researchers rather than normal users. However, it goes a step further. Installing as a fake system tool so that it is dismissed, keeping its identity a secret.
It also installs with a real-looking service name and a random executable name. Once the service is run, it injects itself into sundry Windows services, then terminates itself from memory. Inside one of these processes, it monitors the service entry in the registry and the executable on disk. If these are touched, it restores them within three seconds, frustrating some antimalware products.
Tilon also has a unique way of "hooking" into the browser to evade detection by products looking for traditional hooking. Instead of the more customary method of copying the first five bytes of with a JMP stub, Tilon takes a completely different approach. It overwrites only the first byte with the byte OxFA which is Clear Interrupt Flags instruction, so when the CPU attempts to run it, an exception is thrown. The exception handler installed by Tilon catches it and the hooked logic runs thereafter.
The net result of all this is that thus far, only four of 41 antimalware tools caught Tilon, and those that did identified it as a fake system tool, rather than the banking Trojan it really is.

WHITBURN boss Robert Lee is desperate to keep the West Lothian flag flying in the Emirates Scottish Junior Cup this weekend by shocking Super League side Kelty Hearts.
The two sides do battle in Fife on Saturday, with the winner going into the hat for the fifth round of the cup.
And with Whitburn – the only team left in the competition from West Lothian – having not reached the fifth-round stage since they last won the trophy in 2000, Lee admits it would be a big achievement for the South Division side.
He said: "It's a match we are all really looking forward to. Kelty are a good side – you don't get to play in the Super League if you aren't a good team.
"I've watched them play, and so has my brother Russell, so I have a good idea of what they are like.
"They obviously go in as big favourites – they're two divisions above us. But it's a one-off game, so we'll have to wait and see."
Lee's side have kept the flag flying for the county after early Scottish Junior Cup exits for West Lothian big guns Linlithgow Rose and Bathgate Thistle.
"You'd expect Bathgate and Linlithgow to get further, but that's where the luck of the draw comes in," added Lee.
"We're pleased to have made it to this stage and it would be great to get even further.
"But we're in for a hard game against Kelty, especially as it is at their place."
Burnie booked their place in the fourth round after seeing off Aberdeen side Glentanar in an exciting replay victory.
Before that, they knocked out Newburgh with a 5-2 win away from home.
Kelty Hearts' route to this stage has been courtesy of victories over Kirriemuir Thistle, Culter and Super League side Camelon Juniors.
Whitburn have already enjoyed cup success this month, having knocked Brechin Vics out of the East of Scotland Cup last weekend.
Alan Mooney scored the goal for the West Lothian side, with Barry Craig hitting the bar three times.
But Burnie needed penalties to see off their opponents, with the game tied at 1-1.
Burnie prevailed from the penalty spot to stay in the East of Scotland Cup.
Kick-off at Kelty's Central Park is 1.45pm.

There is never a bad time to hear the song What A Friend We Have In Jesus, is there? Alright; I'm speaking as a Christian (although I wonder if at least some who confess no formal creed might admit to feeling similarly). But whenever I hear this song, no matter how corny or how thrilling the particular version might be, it lifts me up on some indefinable level and genuinely comforts something deep inside, whether you want to characterize that something as a Jungian inner child or a deep and dark weeping soul. It's a song that gets to the heart of the matter.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Ella Fitzgerald's version (below) may be nothing spectacular; for a woman who was one of the greatest singers of the twentieth century, there's no showing off here. But then, one of the reasons she rates among the three or four greatest popular singers of the past one hundred years is that she didn't show off. Her immense ability was deployed with grace, intelligence and — at all times– great class.
She worked with great arrangers, but this is no flashy arrangement either. The back-up singers might seem kinda hokey, but I think in the end it comes out just right.
Available on the album Ella Fitzgerald: Spirituals

I have been lucky enough to meet several people throughout my life who have changed my life in some way or the other. Meeting them was a life changing experience. Some have changed my life drastically whereas some have had minor effects comparatively. In this post I will be telling you about 3 Fantastico People Who Changed My Life.
My Father
My father has always been an inspiration to me. He is my guide, mentor, philosopher and a dear friend. I really admire him a lot. Born and brought up in a low income family, he has established himself strongly without compromising on ethics. He had to face a lot of troubles during his life. However, he faced all the hurdles successfully and today he is a self made man. He has provided me with a lot of care and love. I can always expect him to be on my side whenever I face any problems or difficulties. He has had a really positive impact on my life. He is one of the fantastic people who have changed my life.
Mr. Mohan (My Maths Teacher in School)
Like many others, I hated maths throughout my school. This was until I met Mr.Mohan who was my maths teacher as well as my class teacher. He was the person who changed my perception about maths. I always thought of maths as a very complex and tough subject. I was childish & even foolish to think why at all the subject was included in the curriculum. However, when Mr.Mohan came as a teacher, things changed. He though maths in an extremely simple and lucid way. He provided personal attention to students as well. Today, I can safely claim that I have above average mathematical skills, all thanks to Mr.Mohan!
Azim Premji
There is a lot to be learnt from this gentle man. He is one of the richest people in India yet very humble and down to earth. He flies economy class and is known to eat at roadside restaurants. He is also one of the largest philanthropists in India. He is a very ethical person as well. His son was made to go through the routine process of interviews when he was about to join Wipro. I have learnt a lot of things like simplicity, humbleness, staying down to earth and a lot many other things from this wonderful person. I really owe you a lot sir!
That's it. This is one of the 3 most fantastic guys who have changed my life drastically. Apart from these, there are several other people who have helped me and guided me throughout my life.
Share stories of fantastic people who inspired you and changed your life via comment box below. If you like this article, feel free to share it in your social circles.
This blog post is inspired by the blogging marathon hosted on IndiBlogger for the launch of the #Fantastico Zica from Tata Motors. You can apply for a test drive of the hatchback Zica today.

Ties to the Blood Moon by ROBIN P. WALDROP
Genevieve is a teenage girl who moves in with her aunt in Alaska after the death of her mother. Soon after her arrival she learns the things she was raised to believe only existed in fairytales are in fact a big part of her history. When it gets to be too much she seeks refuge in the arms of her new boyfriend, William, only to find out he's not who she thought he was either (goodreads).
Received copy from the author
Okay I'm going to keep this review short and sweet. This book was not for me.
Genevieve's mom dies in a mysterious fire and lands her in Alaska. Immediately, she meets handsome William who is off limits. Even though another girl seems to have claimed William, Genevieve can't help her growing attraction. She learns of the lycans and their supposed princess. Although she believe none of it to be true. everyone seems certain that she is the lycan princess.
Genevieve was not a likable characer, which made this book hard to digest. Even if I don't like a character, I have to be able to understand where he or she is coming from-I didn't get that in this book. Genevieve is a brat. She yells when she doesn't get her way and is extremely disrespectful to her aunt. Also she makes AWFUL choices. But that's another story.
I found the story hard to get through as well. So we go to Alaska and learn that there is a family of werewolves looking for their princess, not only that but there is a vampire. Oh and I'm pretty sure that there are hints of a love triangle. Been there. Done that.
If you are a fan of Twilight, I say go for it but this book was not for me. This book had its moments and even a twist that I did not foresee, but that did not make up for the rest of the novel.

Can You Freeze Mozzarella Cheese – How To Freeze Mozzarella CheeseCategories Dairy Products
Mozzarella cheese is just a universally beloved cheese. It's mild flavor and creamy texture make it delicious on it's own or used in a variety of dishes. One of my favorite summer meal items is a caprese salad. Whether serving as an appetizer for entertaining or using as a main course on a warm lazy summer evening, Mozzarella, tomatoes and fresh herbs are just simply delicious.
Year round I love family pizza night. When the nights are short and the school work is long nothing beats a family pizza night. I have an extremely picky family with tastes as diverse as possible, so my positive spin is to do "make-your-own-pizza" night. This requires prepping the pizza crust and having a variety of toppings on hand and ready to go that I know all of my family will love. It can seem like this would take a lot of time and effort but a little prep work and utilizing my freezer gets this meal ready in a snap.
Can You Freeze Mozzarella Cheese?
Thankfully, having an ample supply of mozzarella cheese on hand and ready to go for my caprese salad or family pizza night without a run to the supermarket is a simple as opening up my freezer. Freezing mozzerlla cheese is a great way to keep that yummy cheese on hand for any number of uses. I even shred the mozzarella cheese first before putting it into freezer bags. I portion it out so that one bag of cheese will cover one individual pizza. That way if one of the kids has a friend over we can pull out an extra bag!
How To Freeze Mozzarella Cheese
You can freeze a whole block of mozzarella cheese but keep in mind that once thawed, the cheese will become more crumbly and it not great for slicing. You can freeze it in small chunks so that you can pull out one portion at a time but I prefer to grate mine before freezing and use it for pizza nights, lasagna, and other dishes that call for shredded mozzarella cheese.
To freeze mozzarella cheese:
- Simply grate the cheese and place it into a strong freezer bag.
- If you like, you can add a little bit of corn starch to the grated cheese to prevent it from sticking together. This is not a deal breaker, so if you don't have corn starch on hand you can still freeze the mozzarella cheese.
- Make sure to squeeze all of the air out of the bag as air will cause freezer burn.
Because I like to do individual portions I usually portion the shredded cheese out into freezer safe sandwich bags. Squeeze all of the air out of the sandwich bag and then you can place several of the sandwich bags into one big freezer bag.
Another option is to wrap your cheese portions in foil or plastic wrap but for shredded cheese, I find sandwich bags to be the easiest.
How To Thaw Mozzarella Cheese
You can pull out the bags and thaw them in your fridge over night for pizza night but if you forget, you can also use it from frozen. I just take the bag and roll it around in my hands a bit to break the grated cheese apart and top the pizzas with it!

Among the 18th-century expeditions to Greece, the Ionian expedition sponsored by the Society of Dilettanti must rank as one of the most important. Led by the young, talented antiquarian Richard Chandler and drawing on the architectural and artistic expertise of Nicholas Revett and William Pars, the expedition acted as a catalyst for reviving British interest in the artistic legacy of Greek culture. Chandler's published account of the expedition preserves a fascinating account of the difficulties and challenges as well as the rewards of travelling in Ottoman Greece and Asia Minor. The talk includes images of a number of important watercolours by Pars shown for the first time in Australia. Professor Blanshard holds the Paul Eliadis Chair of Classics & Ancient History at The University of Queensland.
Adrian Heyworth-Smith, "Founding Father", twice President and Patron of Friends of Antiquity, was a fine Latin scholar who, as Adjunct Professor, taught Latin poetry to advanced and Honours level students. The Friends honour his memory with this annual lecture.

RD Number 259 from October 1, 2014 is forever!
Oh yeah, I forgot about Mike at Mass Street Music. He is superb, too.
One of the best luthiers in the country just north of Lawrence:
In this version, what is meant by 2nd setting???
My favorite headstock inlay:
I have two of his A straps if anyone is interested. Excellent straps. Guess I'll put an ad on this site to sell 'em.
Best of luck on your recovery. I restored and rode classic BMW airheads for many, many years and quit riding once people started texting and driving.
Hope your PT goes well!

While in Lady Stormonts butterfly and wildlife garden on Thursday afternoon I spotted so many of these beautiful Peacock butterflies. The gardens are open to the public if you are visiting Scone Palace here in Perth. Their favourite flower seemed to be this large yellow Inula daisies. I'm not sure which variety it is but it could possibly be Inula magnifica as its about 4- 5 feet tall.
Peacock Butterflies
I know every bird of the mountains, and everything that moves in the field is mine. ~ Psalm 50:11
Up until Thursday I had only seen one Peacock butterfly all season and none at all in my garden. Edit to add that since I've been gardening today there have been four peacocks in my own garden! Anyway back to Lady Stormont's garden …I had nearly given up seeing one this year. I thought that our harsh winter had killed all the adults that were hibernating. But thankfully that hasn't been the case as this garden was full of them.
You can see that Peacock butterflies have a very distinctive eye pattern on their wings. These markings fool predators into thinking that there are a pair of big eyes looking back at them. Hopefully that will scare them off and give the butterfly time to flee.
Its all in the eye of the beholder. Isn't God's creation just amazing!

The two books that I have read and reread the most are the Bible and J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Recently, a skeptic asked me why we should read the Bible any differently than Lord of the Rings.
After all, both tell epic tales, reflect on the nature of good and evil, describe supernatural events and even include a death and resurrection. Why should we take the accounts of the Bible any differently than the Lord of the Rings, that is as interesting fiction?
For the sake of focus, I am going to look at the New Testament. This is one of the major differences, as the Bible is not really a book but a library of shorter books, Since Christianity is based primarily on the New Testament, that is where I want to look.
Before going too far, I should make clear that Tolkien highly valued the Bible. Not only was he a Christian and allowed his Christian worldview influence his works, he was also one of the translators of the Jerusalem Bible.
Lord of the Rings is one of my favourite books. But what is it? It is in no way history. It includes races that we do not see in reality (elves, orcs, trolls, etc.). The locations in Tolkien's books do not correspond to any location in our world. There are no historical figures in them either. It is an amazing story but it is purely fiction.
How does the New Testament compare?
The events described in the New Testament took place in locations that we can identify and visit today. It is filled with historical figures known from other sources (Herod, Pilate, Caiaphas, etc.). The accounts of the Gospels were written just a few decades after the events described. The New Testament reflects and the events and cultures of first century Roman Empire around the Mediterranean.
Despite the claims of a few Jesus mythicists, almost all historians (not just theologians) accept the basic events found in the New Testament. There is no comparison to Lord of the Rings, or even the ancient myths of the Greeks and Romans.
I love the Lord of the Rings, not because its true but because of the quality of the story. I love the Bible because it is based in history and truth.

Since its launch in 1996 Restylane has been a pioneer in the world of Aesthetics, with over 28 million treatments worldwide and an established proven safety record over 2 decades of experience. A broad portfolio of fillers facilitating individualised patient requirements is telling of their spectacular results.
The Restylane family of products includes Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine, Restylane® Refyne, and Restylane® Defyne.
These new products are both soft and flexible. Refyne is very flexible with soft support and Defyne is a little less flexible with firmer soft support. Both gels give patients the advantage of extremely natural facial movement in the injected areas. Although HA gels tend to be quite soft, the products used for deep support have tended to be a little "stiffer" and could inhibit facial flexibility while smiling when larger volumes are required. Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine is for deep implantation into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and for cheek augmentation and for the correction of age-related mid face contour deficiencies in patients over the age of 21. Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine is also indicated for injection into the subcutaneous plane in the dorsal hand to correct volume deficit in patients over the age of 21. Restylane Lyft® is an injectable gel designed to lift folds and replace lost facial volume from fat loss, bone loss and collagen degradation. Lyft's water-loving nature attracts and binds water molecules to help maintain volume composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the body. The hyaluronic acid in fillers is a crystal clear gel that is chemically cross-linked (the long chemical strands are tied together) to delay breakdown by skin enzymes.
All Restylane products are non-animal-based and free from animal protein. This quality prevents disease transmission. Allergy pre-testing is not necessary. Also distinct from other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, Restylane products are minimally cross-linked, making them similar to the natural hyaluronic acid found in the body.
Restylane® Kysse and Lypse are for lip augmentation and for correction of perioral wrinkles in patients over the age of 21.
Restylane® Refyne is for mid-to-deep injection into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, in patients over the age of 21.
Restylane® Defyne is for mid-to-deep injection into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe deep facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, in patients over the age of 21.
Potential Risks: if you have severe allergies with a history of severe reactions (anaphylaxis). You are allergic to lidocaine or to any of the gram-positive bacterial proteins used to make hyaluronic acid. If you are prone to bleeding or have been diagnosed with a bleeding disorder.
Are there other precautions that I should discuss with my Practitioner?
Restylane® Lyft with Lidocaine, Restylane Refyne and Restylane Defyne are intended to treat facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. The use of these products on gel injection sites with skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infections should be postponed until healing is complete. Use of product in these areas could delay healing or make your skin problems worse.
What are the possible side effects?
The most commonly observed side effects are swelling, redness, pain, bruising, headache, tenderness, lump formation, itching at the injection site, and impaired hand function. These are typically mild in severity and typically resolve in less than 7 days in nasolabial folds and less than 14 days in lips. Serious but rare side effects include delayed onset infections, recurrence of herpetic eruptions, and superficial necrosis at the injection site.
One of the risks with using this product is unintentional injection into a blood vessel. The chances of this happening are very small, but if it does happen, the complications can be serious, and may be permanent. These complications, which have been reported for facial injections, can include vision abnormalities, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring of the skin.
As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.

FCC refuses to release text of net neutrality comments under FoI request
Claims it'll be too much of a faff
IT'S A WEEK on from the net neutrality Day of Action and for the first time, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is showing its hand. And it's not a very helpful one.
First off, it has refused an appeal to extend the deadline for comments after the Day of Action yielded more venom (on both sides) bringing the total to 40,000 comments since June 2015.
Secondly it has denied a request from the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) which demanded that the text relating to complaints against the ISPs it represents be released, citing it as crucial for analysing both its position and that of FCC Chairman and "weed-whacker" advocate Ajit Pai's plan to gut the crap out of net neutrality rules.
This is a bad thing. Sorry, we're not even going to pretend to be on the fence on this one. We're not the BBC. We're not going to sit idly by. This is horseshit. And this is why.
The extension was proposed as a stopgap to give the FCC to comply with the request made under the Freedom of Information Act (plus 60 days).
But the FCC has said it will give a sample of complaint text only. Their excuse for not providing the lot is that, basically, it would be too much of a faff for them.
Again, excuse the rant, but this is a group of people who are proposing to break the internet, forever. The least they could do is be a bit polite about it.
It has also said there will be no extension.
Meanwhile, the NHMC believes that the text of the comments is vital evidence in disproving that Pai's claims that the net neutrality rules as they stand don't actually solve anything.
Ars Technica notes that the point of the comments was to establish any "evidence of actual harm to consumers" if net neutrality were to be removed, or evidence that the internet has improved since the new rules were imposed.
The NHMC points out that those points of order really need to be a matter of public record.
The FCC comments: "We note that Commission staff could have denied NHMC's FOIA request on its face as unreasonably burdensome under the FOIA. In order to release all 47,000 complaints to NHMC, Commission staff would have had to review and redact personally identifiable information from each one of those complaints, which would have been unreasonably burdensome.
"Rather than simply denying the FOIA request, however, the staff has worked diligently with NHMC to provide it with responsive information in a reasonable time frame, while still protecting the personally identifiable information of thousands of consumers."
But the NHMC retorted via special policy advisor Gloria Tristani, who said: "The FCC's denial of our motion is shortsighted, denies the public critical information, and flies in the face of their acknowledgement that they have received over 47,000 open Internet complaints since the 2015 net neutrality rules were enacted.
"It should give the public pause that the agency with exclusive control over regulating Internet service providers refuses to share such information with the public. The information is within the FCC's exclusive control and was completely ignored in the NPRM."
Officially, the comment period ended yesterday. Unofficially, you can still make comments until 16 August. Really, you can still make comments for as long as you like. Don't ever feel it's too late to contribute. You can email: [email protected]. µ

All the emotions in one day.........
in the morning and seeing Wendy in the evening.
It should not have worked out that way. I had booked my flight to the wonderous
one in the belief that the service would be on Wednesday or Thursday, but Chris
was so popular and so many people wish to attend, it had to be Friday.
How strange life works out. I will be so sad in the morning and so happy in the
evening. The morning will have a smile moment as my funeral suit is in storage
in Eastbourne so I will have to change in the depot, Chris would have laughed at
the thought of me in my boxers on cctv.........
Then the start of the long trip from Sussex to Luton airport and then the flight
to Basel and into the arms of Wendy, that thought will keep me going........
Maybe will go shopping at Auchan ?. Maybe even a pear tart ?.

Actually I just had a slice of that pear tart and it is disgusting and the rest of it is now in the bin. Stick with strawberry and chocolate tarts - the French do those well but are not that good with apples and pears.
