Pacers' decision to rest Roy Hibbert repays When this group of Indiana Pacers was built, it was clear that several of its specifying qualities would certainly originate from the protective side of the round. And, as a result of his capacity as a rim guard, center Roy Hibbert played a large one element in determining…Read more

Hawks attempt and close out Pacers
The Hawks have an opportunity to manage the magnificent upset in the home.

Morning Roundup
I like to get up early and get to work at the church as soon as possible. I'm usually here around 7:00a.m. It's quiet then (before Mikel gets here, haha), and I can get lots of work done without any distractions. The first thing I do is get my cup of coffee (preferably in my new Mike Wozowski mug) and go through my Google Reader. If you don't use Google Reader, you should. It's a quick and easy way to read through the news, blogs, and anything else you like to keep up with. Usually I end up posting a few articles each morning that I think are worth reading. Instead of posting several links on Facebook each morning, I decided to start compiling them into one blog post on my blog and posting that instead. So here ya go…the morning roundup…have a great day!
Why Impostors Love the Church – A good word from Dr. Russel Moore from Southern Seminary – "Finally, the church often draws such impostors because of a perversion of the Christian doctrine of grace. The Christian gospel offers a complete forgiveness of sin, and not only that, a fresh start as a new creation. But both Jesus and the apostles warn us that this can easily be perverted into a kind of anti-christ license."
At What Age Should We Baptize – Here is a good overview of when some prominent churches decide it's a good time to baptist children. I am yet undecided, but I do think that new Christians should show good evidence of repentance and fruit before being baptized.
The Bible and Birth Control – Tim Challies has recently written about what the Bible has to say about using birth control. If you have a seminary background, then you have had this discussion at some point in time. Seminaries are full of kids and families who don't use birth control. At Southeastern there was an apartment complex called Flaherty Farms, but most single people on campus called it Fertility Farms. That link is for part two, here is the first part of the series.
The Snake Kings – A couple weeks ago we finally got around to watching the Courageous movie. I really enjoyed it. It was very good, challenging, and convicting. Here's a funny scene from it.
Have a good weekend!

Odyssey Sona BUGS
As support player who bought the skin, there's a minor thing that really bugs me. Its about her shoulder pad. I don't know the purpose of it, but I think it needs to go. It covers her entire outfit (almost). Basically her upper body. I really wanna see her full body length while playing her. Is it possible if you guys remove it? WILL you guys willing to remove it? I feel like it's going to make her look more elegant without it covering her upper body. It doesn't serve purpose in game anyways, so why not remove it, please? https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/2dGuCs1ge3fQaxKzBM-O6SKxlqU=/0x0:5752x1200/1200x0/filters:focal(0x0:5752x1200):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/12884205/odyssey_sona_turnaround.png PS. I don't really know where to put this "suggestion" here. Well, it's not really a bug, so I just picked Concept and Creation... So please don't remove it.<-(I meant this post.) {{sticker:sg-soraka}} (I did it for click bait sorry)

With the out-of-the-box Data Platform and Business Intelligence ecosystem, you get the entire platform with a single license.
With the out-of-the-box Data Platform and Business Intelligence ecosystem, you get the entire platform with a single license.
Previously, I was working for a retail company and when I got there, there weren't any analytics implemented yet.
So, what I did was, firstly, I implemented an EDW solution so as to gather all the possible data in a single repository.
After that, I developed a self-service model so the company could take advantage of their ad hoc analysis.
Then, I implemented some standard reports to understand some basic indicators, together with the delivery subscriptions so that all the organization's levels could receive this valuable information, i.e., for more than 500 users.
Lastly, I connected this platform to the cloud (Power BI) together with a top BI solution (QlikView) so as to take full advantage of the second data insights' step journey.
The Windows OS dependency needs to improve. There are some bugs with the new features that have released.
It is getting better but still, there are opportunity areas in some aspects, especially the Windows OS dependency.
I have used this solution for 10 years and still counting.
There were no stability issues.
Technical support is very good.
I was using Oracle before, we switched to Microsoft because Oracle is very expensive for the benefits that they offer.
The setup was easy, actually, a single instance installation can be installed by clicking next and next. Maybe a cluster installation could be a little more complex, but it is still easy.
This is one of the best out-of-the-box solutions on the market. Microsoft has to improve their Data Governance solution, but for a data platform and BI solution, it is very good.
We evaluated products such as Oracle, MySQL, and Postgres.
It is very straightforward. Maybe you won't like the Windows OS dependency, but, in the 2017 version, you can install the engine on Linux.

Study Other Blogs for Design Ideas
When you look at other blogs with an eye for design and navigation, you might be surprised by all the inspiration you gain. A single design element on someone's blog could give you an idea for a blog header. Or someone's main blog color may be the perfect shade to sprinkle through your design in much smaller doses.
Surveying the blogging landscape also helps you spot trends in blog design or discover new plug-ins or widgets you may want to use.
Look at blogs focused on topics completely different from yours. Doing so can give you a fresh design perspective.
Imitation isn't the same as inspiration. If someone would look at your design and think (or say), "That looks just like so-and-so's blog!", then someone might say you copied a design. The more blogs that inspire you, the less your blog will look like someone else's.
Know what to look for in blog design
Surfing from blog to blog, looking at nice designs, is fun, but keep your jaunts productive, too. Keep a short list of things to look for on another person's blog. Then take notes about anything you like about someone's blog design. You can also keep track of things that inspire you by using some mood board ideas.
To kick-start your list, here are some things you can look at:
Overall branding: Look at how the blog name, tagline, blog colors, fonts, and other design elements tie in to one another. How many fonts and colors are used? How did the blogger or designer create hierarchy with them?
General layout: Are two columns or three used? Note any special galleries or rotating banners and the number of blog posts featured on the home page.
Sidebars: See what key content is placed on the sidebar. Can you easily discern a hierarchy that signals to you what is most important?
Advertising: Is the advertising overbearing to you as a blog visitor? Is advertising shown in unusual places? How many potential advertisers are allowed? Is there a special blog page created just for advertisers?
Navigation: How is top content displayed? What about a search box? Where are categories listed?
Interaction: Do readers leave lots of comments and share their posts on social media platforms? If so, look at how the blog's commenting system and social sharing buttons function.
Footer: If the blog has a footer, what things are included? How does the footer design fit into the rest of the blog design?
Just because a certain design element works on one blog doesn't mean that it will work for you. Use other sites for inspiration but stay true to your own style and personality.
Look outside your niche
By looking within just your own niche, you may inadvertently box yourself into a certain way of thinking. You might find yourself including something in your design because everyone else does, when it might not be the right choice for your blog. Looking outside your niche can help you bring a fresh approach to your own niche.
Look at blogs outside your niche and even corporate websites or company blogs.
However, in addition to looking at things that all blogs have (blog colors, a navigation menu, and so on), consider how you can apply part of a blog's design or navigation to your own blog.
For example, if you write about travel, perhaps you notice how food bloggers often take close-up shots of their food. Maybe you get the idea to incorporate a close-up travel shot into your blog header versus a typical scenic landscape. Check out the many possibilities to take a fresh twist on your blog design!

What PrognoCIS Does Not Do Well
Users who gave PrognoCIS a critical review complained about the quality of customer support. Some reported slow response time, while others said that the representatives don't speak fluent English and are hard to understand.
"We were constantly asking the support team to fix or change things. We had a huge problem with the messaging feature of the software. It was impossible to keep track of everything being sent to the medical assistants, which led to many patients not being contacted. We repeatedly reached out to address this issue, but never got a resolution. The billing resources are very difficult to work with. Patients frequently complained about having difficulty getting in touch with them, and we were unable to answer any of their questions."

Colours: Blue
- Jumbo paper towel roll ideal for high usage as disposable cleaning wipes for factory equipment, hand, tools and other general purpose wiping tasks
- Thick, absorbent 3-ply paper tissue glued and micro embossed to ensure greater absorbency, high wet strength and stronger tear resistance
- Absorbs oils, grease and solvents easily
- Low linting
- Convenient, easy tear-off perforated sheets for standard sizes and reduced wastage

- Economical and cheaper than rags
Looking for an economical alternative to rags? Try TIDDOX's absorbent industrial wiper rolls, especially designed to replace traditional bags of rags and cloth towels! These heavy duty, strong, absorbent, 3-ply industrial paper rolls have replaced rags in factories, garages and automotive workshops. A cost effective, disposable industrial wiper for general wiping tasks such as cleaning or drying hands, tools, equipment or soaking up spills of viscose liquids, including solvents, lubricants, oils, grease and dirt.
Their noticeable thickness and high wet strength are attributable to the manufacturing process of gluing together 3 plys of mixed cellulose tissue and embossing the glued layers to improve tensile strength and increase absorbency. The result is an effective industrial towel that provides an efficient wiping experience!
In addition to its high absorbency capacity, the low lint and non-scratch features of these disposable paper wipes lend this product to delicate polishing applications, and cleaning sensitive equipment parts.
TIDDOX's industrial cleaning paper roll is manufactured from a premium mix of top quality recycled pulp and pure cellulose. Each roll comprises 1000 perforated sheets of standard size to reduce wastage
These industrial wipers serve a multitude of purposes. The busier your spaces are, the more towels your workers will go through. That's why it's so important to have an affordable paper towel for their use. If the paper is strong enough, it might even be used in place of other cloths! Wouldn't that be great – to have a multipurpose towel that will stand up to tough use? Well, TIDDOX has just that very product. It's our JUMBO PAPER TOWEL ROLL.
The sheets are perforated every 35cm (36.5cm width) for easy removal from the roll. Each sheet is 3-plys thick, glued and embossed to make them strong enough for the job. These paper towels stay strong when they get wet, so they can be used with solvents to scrub up stains and messes. They are strong enough to be used to clean factory equipment, hand tools, and work surfaces. They are also absorbent enough to clean up spills without smearing the liquid or gel all over the place. A hydraulic leak on a machine is no problem – just drop one of our industrial paper towels on the spot, and it will continue to soak up the drips until someone can get back to it. Polish surfaces, clean work areas, and scrub oil and grease off of your machinery and tools.
So if you are in either the manufacturing, automotive, printing or similar industry and you require a high usage, heavy duty industrial paper towel at an affordable price, we highly recommend these premium disposable blue paper towels.
Portable floor stands are also available for use with this product, so that these disposable towels are always handy.
For thicker, stronger material than 3-ply paper tissue, you may wish to consider the following products from TIDDOX's range of jumbo industrial rolls, namely the JUMBO RHINO ROLL (BLUE), or the JUMBO CLASSIC ROLL (GREEN) . All jumbo rolls fit our JUMBO ROLL FLOOR DISPENSER.

So I spent New Years Eve drinking and watching movies. Here's some quick-reviews of what I watched. Or at least what I can remember of what I watched. Or what I think I remember of what I watched.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
This is a visually impressive movie. It really looks great. Billy Connolly is in it as a leader of one of the armies and, for me, he steals the whole show. Christopher Lee also makes an appearance – the only member of the cast to actually have met Tolkein. But aside from that, I just found this thing boring and bailed after about ninety minutes. It was like "We must face this army! OK. Oh, look, another army! We must defeat that army now! OK. Oh. Wait a second, over there – another army we must fight." It just got old and I really stopped giving a crap. If you're a fan of these kinds of movies, then you'll love this one. I just found it repetitious.
John Wick
Keanu Reeves plays a retired hit-man who has some Russian mob guys cross his path – beat the crap out of him – steal his car – and kill his dog. This sets of the expected Rain of Vengeance against the crime family. It's all well done and makes with the Ultraviolence just fine. Reeve's scenes are always cast in cold blue lighting. The Russians more in warmer red tones. It's not something you see done often. The scenes in the Continental Hotel – which is a kind of safe haven for hit-men – is pretty cool too. The reason I gave it only an above-average rating is that there isn't all that much depth to the film. Everyone in this film is a cold-blooded killer and, as such, you really don't get too wrapped up with carrying if they live or die. But if you like a good vengeful killing spree flick, this is for you.
We Still Kill The Old Way
This is a UK film and so you'll probably only find it online – by one means or another. The brother of a retired London crime boss is killed by a gang of punks, and the old-timers who used to run that part of the city come back to take care of business. Ian Ogilvy (one of the actors who used to play "Simon Templar", aka "The Saint", back in the 70's) is the returning mob boss and is perfectly charming and violent. What makes this movie different is it's about the characters. The old-timers and the cops trying to cope with the rising violence are interesting to watch. The script and direction are great. The ending is a little sappy, but it's better that way than with the typical bullet-riddled shoot-out.

By extracting a file contained within the recently released demo for Mortal Kombat, one wily hacker was able to discover and reveal the game's full roster, each character's storyline, and some of the modes contained within the game.
While gamers have been given various teases as to which of Mortal Kombat's classic characters were going to be making an appearance in this reboot, this leaked roster confirms that, as expected, pretty much every classic or favorite character will be playable in the game.
There are, of course, those exceptions that will disappoint certain Mortal Kombat fans for not being included, but overall it's a solid roster of nostalgic combatants.
On top of the roster for the game, the hacker was also able to uncover each storyline, from beginning to end, for all of the playable characters within the game.
Though it was only seen in text form, some of the specific character endings and the main game's storyline reveal some real twists and turns.
Without further ado, here is the leaked complete roster for Mortal Kombat:
- Scorpion
- Sub-zero
- Liu Kang
- Kung Lao
- Sonya
- Cage
- Rayden
- Jax
- Sektor
- Cyrax
- Smoke (human)
- Nightwolf
- Stryker
- Baraka
- Sheeva
- Kabal
- Kano
- Shang Tsung
- Kitana
- Mileena
- Jade
- Sindel
- Ermac
- Noob Saibot
- Quan-Chi
- Reptile
- Kratos
- Cyber Sub-Zero
- Goro
- Kintaro
- Shao Khan
We've seen trailers for some of Mortal Kombat's stages, but now we know the other arenas that will be appearing in the game, and the return of the Krypt mode. For those that are unfamiliar with the Krypt, it is essentially a series of unlockables — 500 in this version of Mortal Kombat — that give the player access to anything from new fatalities to concept art.
The concept may seem strange to some, but it looks like MK will be learning from recent game design, and giving players an extensive system for acquiring extra content and fatalities.
Speaking of fatalities, the forum post also reveals that babalaties and friendships, two of the more bizarre riffs on fatalities will be making appearances in the game. Unfortunately, aside from the mention there was no in-depth information on which characters will be able to perform the over-the-top moves.
While gamers who might want to keep their Mortal Kombat experience pure and leave the storytelling to their own specific game session will surely look no further, those who are interested can head on over to the forums at Hadoken to read each character's ending. It's absolutely filled with spoilers for some of the game's big secrets so view at your own risk.
Which of your favorite characters are you glad to see make the Mortal Kombat roster? Are there any notable characters that were left out?
Mortal Kombat releases April 19, 2011 for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Anna Claire Farmer // Contributing writer
In a house on a quiet street in Murfreesboro, Chris and Stephanie Teague, otherwise known as the Christian music duo, Out of the Dust, take time from their busy lives to talk about music, family and marriage to each other— the second time around. The two sets of wedding pictures hanging on the wall side by side foretell an improbable story of reconciliation and redemption.
Stephanie, a pixie-like woman with long blonde hair and kind eyes, sits curled into the couch. Surrounded by comfort colors and cushioned corners, a totally baby-safe environment, Steph is the paragon of a first-grade teacher. Her soft voice trills along as she brags on her husband, a consummate coffee aficionado. Meanwhile, Chris, tall and charismatic with dark curly hair, bustles around the kitchen, grinding beans and steaming milk to create his perfect cup of coffee. Steaming drink in hand, he settles in next to his wife.
The couple gracefully juggles parenthood of two kids under the age of two, along with their blossoming music careers and Chris' job in sales.
"We couldn't do it without our family," Stephanie said, sincerity and gratitude written on her face. Musicians, parents, friends: these people are serious multitaskers.
While sipping at Chris' hot coffee, a nearly unbelievable story unfolded.
"I was doing the things that boys in college around the music industry do," Chris said. "There was nothing left, there was really no hope… but out of the dust God breathed life back into our story."
Chris and Stephanie met and married young, both graduating from MTSU in 2008. But four years into their marriage, life took a sharp turn. Chris explained that he was searching for answers about life that led him away from his relationships with God and with Stephanie. Believing that his faith in God had been misplaced, Chris' life fell apart, and he filed for divorce. The couple spent six months in "a place of hurt and brokenness."
During their time apart, Stephanie said she felt frustrated and confused. She had never imagined that Chris would doubt God, or that he would doubt her. Needing a permanent reminder of her anchor during this painful season, she decided to get a tattoo. Written on her foot in the thick, bold strokes of Hebrew is a verse from Song of Solomon.
"I am my Beloved's," Steph explained. "It's a reminder that this is what my identity is. It's in Christ. It's not in my circumstances. It's not in my relationships or any of that."
"The pain was like a mirror that showed me the truth of who I was and what I'd done," Chris shared. "And it didn't take long for me to realize that leaving Stephanie was a huge mistake. I heard a message more clear than any other I'd ever received from God that I was to pursue Stephanie again."
Needless to say, Stephanie took some more convincing. She was reluctant but finally decided to meet Chris for counseling. After much prayer, they married again just over a year after the couple split. As their relationship was restored, Chris decided to tattoo the completion of Stephanie's verse onto his arm: "My beloved is Mine."
Just after their second first anniversary, Out of the Dust was born. Earlier this year, the duo released their first EP Lead Me Through with their producer, Joe Causey. Honestly written with a folk-pop sound, their music connects to listeners with its authenticity. Stephanie's voice hints at singers like Ingrid Michelson and Joy Williams, while Chris' sound evokes Andy Grammer. The combination of their voices and the acoustic instruments meld into a unique mix of The Civil Wars, All Sons & Daughters and Gungor. Their new single, "All That I'm Made For," along with the rest of the CD, is available now on iTunes.
On a Friday evening as summer drew to a close, sounds of friendship filled a tight, warm coffee shop. Abstract art scattered the walls as people lounged in oversized leather chairs. The easy sounds of guitar and voices blended into the relaxed atmosphere. The Teagues stood at the front of the room singing and smiling at their family and friends. With Stephanie strumming on the ukulele and Chris accompanying on the guitar, the duo sang a cheery cover of "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. Sharing their love by performing for the packed room full of bobbing heads and easy grins, this couple truly exuded a happiness that no dust can obscure.
Check out their website where you can sample their CD and get more information at http://www.outofthedustmusic.com/.

Hello again all,
I write this to you now as Arlene Phillips, CBE. Yes it's official! As I mentioned in my last blog, this week it's all about Buckingham Palace baby.
But before I give you the rundown of my Investiture, I want to tell you all about my day trip to Birmingham to hear the brilliant director, composer, genius and more importantly dear friend Jeremy Sams give his lecture on Mudra, the theory of music and drama as one. It was a real privilege to hear him speak, and his theory was brilliant, and something I know will stay with me through my work to come.
As I was still suffering from what we shall call my bout of mini flu, I woke up on Wednesday morning still feeling pretty awful, but the excitement of what was to come was going to get me though the day. It was an early start into hair and makeup, and after a final dash round Selfridges the night before, I settled on a stunning orange patterned knee length dress by Erdem, with clear sequins sewn all through it so it shimmered in the light. I wore it with a black quilted coat by Malene Birger, with crystal beading on the collar, a black bow hat from Fenwicks, and of course a fabulous new black patent pair of Louboutins, perfect for my curtsey in front of Her Majesty. I was thrilled it was The Queen herself who was going to be at the ceremony, as I had the privilege to receive my OBE from her last time, so it really meant a lot she was there this time as well. My family of course were all with me, looking beautiful and smart as could be, and as I took my place in line to receive my medal, I saw them all sitting there at the front and was so overcome with emotion. It really was such an honour, and a moment I will remember for the rest of my life.
After the ceremony, we headed outside for a family photo, I did some press interviews with Louis Smith, who was also receiving his award that day, and I have to say although we were outside for no more than half an hour, it felt like forever because quite simply, it was freezing! My fingers actually went blue, the girls were shaking, it was cold, cold, cold. After leaving the Palace we made our way to Nobu on Park Lane, where we warmed up with cups of hot sake and jasmine tea, and my friends Debbie Moore (of Pineapple fame) and Chrissy Donnelly (of Hot Gossip days) joined us for a celebratory lunch. We honestly stayed there for about four hours, gossiping, remembering the old days, and munching our way through plates of exquisite sushi. I arrived home feeling elated and exhausted, and more than ready for my bed.
The next few days the mini flu I'd been trying to keep at bay hit me like a ton of bricks, and basically turned into full blown evil flu. I think a definite low point was my trip to the doctors on Friday morning, where I was asked to bring the prescription I'd been told to keep in the fridge. I arrived with my white paper bag, handed it to the doctor, only to find I'd actually brought him a white bag of sliced salami instead…! Now that is real exhaustion at work.
By Sunday I was well enough to drag my lazy bum out of bed and over to watch a final run through of the We Will Rock You tour, along with Abi and Tully, who absolutely loved it. I can't wait till the show goes out live next week, make sure you look out for it coming to a city near you here.
Monday was Hectic (with a capital H!) as Coco had been on holiday the week before, and that combined with me being out of action for a few days meant the pile of things to do was just ridiculous. Of course I had Tully holding down the fort the week previously, but even he couldn't get through half of what needed to be done, so it was a hardcore catch up in the office for Team Arlene!
Tuesday was some filming fun, talking about the nation's favourite dances. I've been left with a lovely lingering cough, so trying to get my words out through it meant it took a lot longer then anticipated! I was so excited as that evening I was attending the opening night of A Chorus Line at the Palladium, and what a show it was. It's a production I know like the back of my hand, and I was thrilled to see my darling John Partridge up there, dancing rings around the kids, and putting in a fantastic performance as Zack. I have to say another stand out performance for me was Leigh Zimmerman as Sheila, she was simply perfection, and a joy to watch.
The one and only Bruno and I after Chorus Line.
The clan after the show.
So there you have it, such a memorable week, and one I'm still clearly on could nine from.
So many, many exciting things to come, so make sure you keep checking in and subscribe!
Until next time
Love Arlene x

For me, contests have paid off in a big way, and I've become an advocate of cruising the Contest Circuit. Here's why . . .
The first contest I entered was the 2006 Golden Heart®. I'd been writing less than a year and had produced two manuscripts. I knew better than to enter my first. I should have known better than to enter my second, but I was a naïve newbie who didn't realize the Golden Heart was the most competitive contest of them all. I placed in the bottom half—for good reason. I was so green I glowed, and the entry advertised that fact.
Because all I received in the GH was a set of five scores, I knew I had missed the mark, but I didn't know why.
What did I do?
I bought several writing craft books, studied them, and wrote three more stories in rapid succession. Eager to know if I'd improved, I began submitting up to four of the manuscripts in a number of contests. In 2007, I submitted 34 entries in eleven contests and finaled eight times, including twice in the 2008 GH.
What did I learn?
On the Downside ~
- Contests cost money. A Romance Writers of America® chapter-level entry costs around $25 – $30 and a GH entry $50. The fees can quickly add up.
- Prepping a contest entry can be time consuming. Each contest wants things done differently, and an entrant has to meet all the guidelines or risk disqualification.
- Receiving criticism can hurt. While most judges are fair and offer constructive criticism, some feedback may not be couched in the kindest of terms.
- There is no guarantee of a final or placement. The competition can be fierce, and only a handful of the entrants garner the top spots.
On the Upside ~
- An entrant learns to meet deadlines.
- An entrant learns to properly format an entry.
- An entrant learns to accept constructive criticism.
- An entrant learns about the writing craft.
- An entrant may experience the joy of a contest final, a placement, and/or a win.
My contest judges were generous with their time and feedback. I've jokingly said they taught me to write, but there is a great deal of truth in that statement. It was from them I received my first lessons in Point of View, Goal, Motivation, and Conflict, and the importance of sensory detail. I cringe when I think of what I subjected them to and feel deep gratitude for the way they encouraged me in spite of my glaring weaknesses.
I also learned that I'd made some mistakes when I chose the contests I entered. The primary one was entering the wrong category. My stories are inspirational historicals. If a contest didn't offer an inspirational category, I'd enter the historical. This didn't work well for me.
After my GH finals, I spent the next year working on craft. Two of my stories had finaled in the GH, but I knew they weren't at a publishable level. (I still marvel that they finaled.) I spent several months rewriting one of my stories, incorporating everything I'd learned.
In mid-2009, I prepared to enter contests again. This time, I went about things more carefully. I chose ten contests, looking for those with an inspirational category (or, in one case, an inspirational sub-category). I also checked to see who the final round judges were, which I hadn't done in 2007. I had learned an additional benefit of entering contests since my earlier experience: a final can open doors, and I wanted to know who would be behind them.
Benefits of a Contest Final ~
- Your manuscript goes to the final round where the judges are agents and editors.
- You may receive feedback from a final round judge.
- You may receive a request for a partial or full manuscript from a final round judge.
- You may receive an offer of representation from a requesting agent judge.
- You may receive interest in your story from a requesting editor judge.
- Oh, and there can be some nice prizes. I've received several, and they are fun!
Now you understand why I'm an advocate of contests. I ended up achieving more than I'd dared dream.
My experience isn't unique. I've had guests here at Romance Writers on the Journey who sold because of a contest final.
I'd be interested in hearing your contest experiences.
Where are you in the process? Have you entered contests?
Have you received helpful (or hurtful) feedback? Have you finaled?
Have you received requests from final round judges?
Have you received an offer of representation, or have you sold because of a contest judge request?

Visitors of Santorini who have a spark for learning about the history of Greece, must definitely visit the Akrotiri area where the Akrotiri archaeological site of Santorini is situated. You need to explore the Ancient Thera too.
What is about Akrotiri?
Akrotiri exhibits the excavation of a whole settlement who was covered with lava and destroyed after a volcanic eruption.
You may already know that what you see of Santorini is just one part of "the story". Santorini looks like a crown, because the middle part sunk after the eruption. The volcano (named Nea Kameni) is visible from almost all famous locations of Santorini (Thira, Imerovigli, Oia), when you hike through them.
The settlement at Akrotiri was destroyed and covered with volcanic ash, plus a river of mud that went through.
However, in Akrotiri, archaeologists uncovered houses and wall paintings of that era, as the ash preserved the remains of fine frescoes and many objects and artworks.
Gradually a modern cover was put in place which protects and ventilates the whole area.
There is an opinion from some historians that this place was the inspiration behind Plato's story of Atlantis. This story was mentioned in Plato's dialogues: Timaeus and Critias.
The excavation area of Akrotiri is very well structured and we were able to walk through the buildings, even inside them. There is a system of modern corridors and pathways for visitors which allows that.
Along the pathways there is information about what you see and what was the name of a specific square.
The various artifacts, frescoes and other things found have close similarity to those of the Minoan civilization (Crete).
Akrotiri, is an interesting part of the island and many of the findings are displayed in the museums of Santorini. However, no skeletons were found, which means that locals left the place promptly before the disaster.
Santorini has many gems and Akrotiri is one of those. Do pay a visit. Such places can reveal a far deeper meaning of the history of the world, not only of Greece.
As Akrotiri, Santorini and Crete seem to connect in some mysterious ways, one can dive into wild mysteries. Who knows, maybe there is no coincidence that Atlantis is related to this place too.
Do go for a swim at the Red beach. It is in a walking distance from the archaeological area and the museum.
Have you been to Akrotiri archaeological site? If so we would love to hear about it.
Enjoy your summer.

MPs Warning Regarding The Fake News
After the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, the Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) Committee has been on the mission of investigating fake news and disinformation. The initial report will be having MPs suggesting that the industries related to the social media should go through strict and tough rules and regulations or a new tax. The report also offers steps to fight the interference of elections. The report of the MPs becomes ready following months of investigation of the effects of technology on the people, and how they are impacted by the emergence of the false news and fake information on the social media.
The report also queried the role of Russia in impacting voters in the EU referendum. Electoral commission says that Vote Leave broke the electoral law, and that its targeted adverts exposed. The report of the committee was to come out officially on Sunday. But the director of the official Brexit campaign group Vote Leave, Dominic Cummings, leaked the copy of the report on Friday by publishing it on his own blog. Afterwards, he was questioned and officially called to participate in the inquiry to give responses to the allegations made contrary to the Vote Leave campaign, but Cummings didn't accept, calling the report "fake news." The leaked report said that according to the MPs, there's a threat to the democracy and so this is the time to act. "Relentless targeting of hyper-partisan views, which play to the fears and prejudices of people, in order to influence their voting plans" was much highlighted by the committee. The report is anticipated to be very hard and critical of Facebook which, after the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, has been under great inspection.
The committee recommends that the sites related to the social media must be held accountable for the harmful material on their services. The companies like YouTube and Facebook have frequently stated that they are merely a platform, and not a publisher. They have maintained that they are not accountable for the material people post on the different social sites. It is probable that the report of the committee would say that the companies won't be able to keep themselves away due to this claim. It would also state that the electoral law requires to be upgraded to mirror the modifications in the campaigning methods. Some suggestions will be given like forming a public register for radical advertisements, social media sites must be considered accountable, and the electoral fraud fines must be enhanced.

This past week, general assemblies at Université de Montréal resulted in two more student associations voting for a combination of strike days and an unlimited general strike to begin in March. These are the 366-member anthropology association AEAUM and the 170-member art history association AEEHAUM.
However, strike votes failed to carry for larger student associations at other institutions, where they decided through referendums rather than general assemblies.
After approving a three-day strike in a general assembly on February 6, AFESPED (political science and law at Université du Québec à Montréal) was required by its bylaws to put the question of an unlimited general strike to a referendum instead. The results, announced Friday, were 215 votes for and 463 against, with a participation rate of 37.9%.
Meanwhile, AGEECL (Cégep Limoilou) held a referendum at its two campuses on the question of two non-consecutive strike days on February 18 and March 8. The results were 40.5%/31.5% of votes in favour, and 58%/68.5% against, with a participation rate of 23%/36.6%.
Referendums may be spread out over multiple days and locations, and make it much easier for large numbers of people, or those unable or unwilling to attend a general assembly, to participate in voting on important issues that directly affect them. On the other hand, as previously mentioned on this site, referendums eliminate the possibility for the kind of collective deliberation and debate essential to a healthy, participatory democracy, and foreclose opportunities for consensus-seeking or last-minute amendments to the motion being voted on.
Aside from the above-mentioned AEAUM and AEEHAUM, only AESFQ (midwifery at Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières) and AFESH (social science at Université du Québec à Montréal) have so far voted in favour of an unlimited general strike. Together, the four associations represent a total of less than 5,000 students in 2 administrative regions of the province — well under the agreed minimum of 20,000 in 3 regions needed to launch an all-out strike.
For an updated list of the student associations going on strike, please visit the "Who's on Strike" section of this website.

[Correction Feb. 16: This article originally suggested that AFESPED members chose to put the question of an unlimited general strike to a referendum, when in fact it is required by their bylaws for any strike longer than 3 days. Apologies for the error.]

Two sides of the pharyngeal wall are joined together posteriorly in the midline by the raphe.
Its superior part is attached to the pharyngeal tubercle; it extends inferiorly to the level of vertebrae C6 where it blends with the posterior wall of the esophagus.

Saif al-Islam Muammar al-Gaddafi, the second son of Libyan head Muammar, threatened the opposition that their days are numbered.
The 38-year-old engineer and politician said that the full power of government forces is ready to defeat the rebellion, in a report by the ABC News.
The warning came as the areas controlled by the insurgents were attacked by Gaddafi's tanks and warplanes.
"We will never, ever give up. And we will never, ever surrender," Saif al-Islam said.
"This is our country. We fight here in Libya. We die here in Libya. And the Libyan people, they will never, ever welcome the NATO. We will never, ever welcome the Americans here.
"Libya is not a piece of cake. We are not a Mickey Mouse. It's time, it's time for liberation. It's time for action. We are moving now. Everybody in Libya is so excited. Thank you very much."
The 23-year-old eyewitness Aima said, "Gaddafi fight with airplane you know and we don't have anything. Where everybody? We need help here. I think that very, very, very sad for us you know that."
But Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled al Koaem brushed off that the government is bombarding the civilians with air raids.
"The official authorities in Libya have committed themselves to the protection of civilians and all rumors spread by media who are not present in Libya about the launching of air raids by the Libyan armed forces and the use of foreign mercenaries is absolutely untrue," said the deputy foreign minister.
Meanwhile, France became the first country to recognize the rebel group in the strife-torn North African state as a legitimate government.
The US officials predicted that the regime will triumph.
Speaking after the EU foreign ministers convened in Brussels, Foreign Minister Luis Amado told the media what he said to Gaddafi's emissaries, "From the international community's point of view, and Portugal is on the sanctions committee against Libya, the Gaddafi regime is over. Regarding its legitimacy, it is over.
"But Tripoli must start a national dialogue with the opposition and work on a ceasefire as soon as possible."
The attached undated YouTube video shows a man who died after being at shot at in Tripoli. It was uploaded on 26 February.

As most of you know, I have been having serious problems with my BP. I've been keeping a detailed log for my doctor... I'll be seeing her tomorrow..... My Systolic has gotten as high as 224, and my diastolic has been anywhere from 59 - 115 (with the 224) .... The diastolic ni,bred are generally in the 60', though not always.
I have done THE BAD THING..... which my DD warned me not to do.... I have been researching everything I can find on BP problems.... High systolic and low diastolic, in particular.....and have proceeded to scare myself... I've done this before, but usually a grandson is sick.... I've scared myself them too. I diagnosed one with MS, which was, of course wrong.....
PLEASE..... Someone stop me from "researching".... A a former paramedic, I know just enough to be dangerous... But.. It's so tempting..... There is so much information out there.... It's hard to resist, you know?
Anyway, I have myself with one foot in the grave..... HELP,

These three "would-be sellers" [Jason Stanifer, Victor and Lisa Kepler, and Dave and Kim Mantel] listed their homes at stratospheric prices. Though they reduced their asking prices, at least two of the three are not yet down to market level, because they still haven't sold. Before you ask us to weep for the Keplers — who have dropped their selling price $200,000, to "only" $1,165,000 — you might have mentioned that they bought the place six years ago for $562,500, and that King County appraises it today for $778,000. They say they can "ride out the market." What they're forgetting is that when prices rise to the level at which they're willing to sell, the prices for that Bellevue condo and the Arizona home they want to buy will have risen by an equal or greater amount. Houses that are priced realistically manage to be sold. Overpriced ones stay on the market. Let's say you listed your house in March and overpriced it by $50,000. If today you drop the listed price by $50,000, it will still not sell because your house will no longer fetch the price it would have gotten in March. And there is no reason to believe that it will sell next year for as much as it would sell for right now. Thousands of houses in King County that were bought or refinanced in the last two years are now worth less than their mortgages. Banks selling off foreclosed houses will price them realistically. The seller who bought or refinanced at the top of the market is not going to net enough even to cover his mortgage. This is the reality of a declining market. –Laura Billington, Maple Valley Comments | More in Economy

Chilliwack makes first appearance on list of British Columbia's Top Investment TownsJuly 25, 2013
July 25th Langley, BC - The Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) released the 2013 edition of its Top British Columbia Investment Towns report today. The 110-page report analyzes the current and future prospects for real estate investment in the province over the next decade and has ranked Chilliwack as a top investment community. The city is ranked 8th out of the 10 communities that appear in the report. The entire report is available for download free of charge on the company's website at www.topbctowns.com.
Chilliwack had previously appeared on REIN's list of 'must watch' cities, but this is the first time it has actually been declared a top investment city in British Columbia. "Chilliwack's lower property values compared to the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland have always been appealing, but rents had not crept up for properties to make sense here," said Don R. Campbell, one of the report's authors and Senior Analyst for the Real Estate Investment Network. "Investors who know the city and do some digging can certainly find cash flowing properties here."
This city offers affordable house prices when compared to the vast majority of Metro Vancouver towns, which has led to an increased rate of population growth over the last decade. With lower property taxes and access to Vancouver, BC's interior region, and the United States via the Trans-Canada Highway, businesses have increasingly seen the benefits of setting down roots in Chilliwack. REIN believes the major expansion of commercial and industrial lands along Highway 1 and the Evans Road Corridor will further shine a light on Chilliwack's potential in the eyes of potential homeowners and business owners.
Chilliwack is also poised to become home to numerous post-secondary institutions, which will provide investors with a continuous supply of student renters. The 200-acre Canada Education Park currently under construction in the city will showcase several major institutional facilities upon completion. The city expects to see an annual enrollment of 5,000 students at the new UFV campus alone.
"The secret to investing in Chilliwack," says Mr. Campbell, "is to be very aware of tenant profiles and property locations. Risk is higher for real estate investors in areas undergoing revitalization but pay off may very well be higher as the City provides redevelopment incentives and has great political leadership welcoming to the investor."
The top BC communities in REIN's 2013 rankings are:
1) Surrey
2) Maple Ridge
3) Fort St. John
4) Dawson Creek
5) Kamloops
6) Abbotsford
7) Kelowna
8) Chilliwack
9) Prince George
10) Langley
About the Top British Columbia Investment Towns report
The Top British Columbia Investment Towns report was first published in 2009 in response to growing demand from investors to know the province's best locations for cash flowing properties. The report is released every second year and provides investors with comprehensive information on which areas of the province will outperform over the next decade. The communities listed in REIN's report have been ranked according to their long-term investment potential, not short-term speculative market runs. Many sources are consulted in order to provide real estate investors with the most comprehensive information, including Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Multiple Listing Service (MLS), Statistics Canada, Regional Real Estate Boards, and local economic development offices. Additionally, real estate investors and REALTORS© who were well acquainted with particular cities and towns were consulted to provide 'real time' and 'on the street' experiences. The entire report is available for download free of charge on the company's website at www.topbctowns.com.

Founded in 1993, The Real Estate Investment Network Ltd. (REIN) has grown over the years to become Canada's leading real estate research and education organization for investors and homeowners across North America.

Barbara: "Why should I join a clinical trial?" Dr. Theo: "This is one of the most common questions I'm asked, Barbara and Cooper. As a patient in a clinical trial, you will get access to research treatments before they're widely available and these new drugs might be safer or even work better than current treatment options. You will also get closer attention from the clinical research team responsible for your care and more careful monitoring of your condition. Another point in consideration is that it could be cheaper than other available treatments since most study sponsors may pay your research related medical care throughout the study. The final benefit is that you can help others by contributing to important medical research. At the same time, there are potential risks associated with clinical trials that you should bear in mind. First, you may experience unpleasant or even life-threatening side effects from experimental treatments. Then, as with any other treatment, it may not be effective for you even if it helps others. Additionally, you may not even know what you're getting if your study is blinded. Finally, participation may be more time consuming than standard care, as you'll likely be making more frequent trips for studies and procedures. In conclusion, as with any medical decision - be sure to factor in all potential benefits and risks before participating in a clinical trial."
Barbara: "Is joining a clinical trial expensive? Is it covered by insurance?" Dr. Theo: "Here's where it's really good news. In general, the entire cost of being on a study is paid for by the sponsor, meaning the pharmaceutical or biotech company that's manufacturing the drug. In general, if you ever come across a study where you're expected to pay, it's not a real clinical trial. Now, the one exception to the sponsor paying for all study-related costs is the following: let's assume you're in a clinical trial for Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis and you have some eye condition that occurs while you're on study. In general, your insurance would have to pay for this non study-related condition."
Barbara: "If I join a clinical trial, will I be treated like a guinea pig?" Dr. Theo: "That is an excellent point. The thing we have to bear in mind is that even though drugs in trials are experimental, they have to go through several different steps before being approved. As a starting point, drugs of the future are discovered and tested in animal studies before ever reaching human clinical trials. It's only the most promising drugs that will be tested in humans and those go through extensive testing. As an example: On average, a new cancer drug has been studied for at least 6 years before it even makes it into clinical trials. So by that point, there are likely to have been one or more trials that show that the drug is at least safe. Now, before any clinical trial starts, it must pass ethical standards to ensure that it's safe and that the volunteers will get treatment that is at least as good as (and maybe even better than) what they would get if they didn't volunteer. Finally - and really important - scientific review committees comprising of independent medical experts are set up to approve and review all trials before researchers can sign patients up and every few months after the trial has started. If the risks at any time are considered to outweigh the benefits, the trial will not be allowed to continue."
Cooper: "If she enrolls in a study, can she back out?" Dr. Theo: "It's really important for you to understand that if you're in a clinical trial, you absolutely have the right to withdraw from being in the trial at any time, for any reason. But if you do decide to withdraw from the study, it would be wise to talk to your doctor beforehand to see if perhaps withdrawing could have a negative impact on your health. In addition, from the standpoint of all the information that's been collected from the clinical trial, the study site may ask you to come back after you have withdrawn for a few additional visits to be sure that the drugs had no negative impact on your wellbeing."
Barbara: "I don't want to do the clinical trial. What if I'm the one who gets the sugar pill?" Cooper: "Yeah, I mean all that time and energy for nothing?" Dr. Theo: "Great question. Even when clinical trials are going to be using placebo, there are ways to design a trial to make sure that patients will get an active treatment - a real treatment - for the condition either right in the beginning or within a few weeks of starting the trial. Let me give you two examples: There are some trials where you will get study drug or placebo, but if the patient's not doing well after say 10 weeks, they're guaranteed of getting study drug automatically. Here is a second possibility very commonly used in cancer trials: All the patients will get established study treatment that's out there - so everybody's getting standard of care - some patients will (in addition) get a boost with study drug while others will get placebo. One other thing we can do to make sure that more patients actually get the boost rather than the placebo: For example, 2/3 of the patients may get the study drug and only 1/3 get the placebo."
Barbara: "Will I get paid to participate in this study?" Dr. Theo: "In general, clinical research study patients receive a small amount of money just to cover expenses for each visit including gas, freeway tolls, and parking. The one key exception to this is volunteer trials (usually very early stage) where patients are going to be coming in and sometimes require prolonged stays, including an overnight in the testing facility. They may get paid a few hundred dollars."
Cooper: "What is a clinical trial?" Dr. Theo: "Clinical trials are studies in which patients volunteer to test new drugs or devices. Doctors will use clinical trials to learn whether a new treatment works and it's safe for people. Now, of course, these trials are needed to develop new treatments for all kinds of diseases all the way from mild through life-threatening."
