I became worried that Mia would take me to one of her regular cafes. That a waiter would try to take the one item that hid my body from the world but, instead, I realised that we were walking into the park again. Our shoes crunched on gravel paths until we reached the same bench again. Mia looked around and I did the same. When I turned back she was already sitting, coat folded beside her, and resplendent in her nudity and bright red shoes yet again. She was looking at me, begging the question.
I sat on the other end of the bench. I could sense her disappointment.
"I don't know how you do it," I said. She sat, so confidently, the dappled sunlight through the trees dancing on her pale skin.
"I don't know why you don't do it," she replied. I didn't want to attempt to argue. A ray of sun broke through the trees and bathed us in its warmth. Mia stretched her arms over her head, her eyes closed, her back arched and those perfect breasts pushed forward as if she had not a care in the world. After a few seconds she relaxed back onto the bench. I envied her for her freedom.

A police officer who was surrounded by a gang and beaten unconscious has said he would welcome changes to the law to give emergency workers more protection.
James Dowler was a uniform officer for South Wales Police when he tried to stop a suspicious driver.
He had his eyes gouged by a female passenger, before being punched in the face. Three of the car occupants were later jailed for the attack.
AMs gave their support on Tuesday to a new law for 999 staff.
Labour MP Chris Bryant wants to double the maximum sentence for common assault on an emergency worker to a year.
The Rhondda MP said there were 20 such assaults in Wales a day.
AMs unanimously agreed on Tuesday that the Parliamentary legislation, which has been given support by the UK and Welsh governments, can apply to assaults on workers in the Welsh NHS and fire services.
Det Sgt Dowler said any additional protection for 999 staff had to be welcomed, as he described the attack on him.
He had stopped late at night after spotting a parked car with smoke coming from the wheels.
But as he approached the vehicle, the driver ran off, and the officer chase him – ending up on the floor with the man.
"Whilst I was holding onto the driver on the floor one of the female occupants of the car jumped on my back and started gouging my eye," he told the Good Morning Wales programme on BBC Radio Wales.
"I realised at that point I was in serious trouble with a large number of people around me and I was by myself."
He managed to activate his emergency radio alarm but then the assailants threw his radio away.
"I felt completely vulnerable, and completely alone at that point."
A further scuffle developed with another passenger, before he was hit.
"We were sort of grappling for a short amount of time and at that point he punched me to the face and I fell to the floor in some sort of state of unconsciousness."
He said a judge described his facial injuries as some of the worst he had seen, when the three attackers were caught and went to court.
The driver was given a six month sentence, while the other two attackers received two year jail terms.
What is the planned law?
The Assaults on Emergency Workers (Offences) Bill has already jumped some major parliamentary hurdles after Chris Bryant won the ballot last June to bring forward his bid for a new law.
Although AMs backed the legislation on Tuesday, it is MPs in Westminster that will make it law.
The bill has had its introduction and crucial second reading in the House of Commons, and has been considered at the committee stage. It will now come back before MPs in April, before being considered by peers in the House of Lords. If it continues to win cross-party support, it stands a good chance of making it the statute book.
The legislation calls for increasing the maximum prison term for the offence of common assault from six months to 12, if the victim is an emergency worker or assisting an emergency worker.
If the offence is more serious than common assault – crimes causing serious physical injury – the fact the victim is an emergency worker will be classed as an aggravating factor when it comes to sentencing offenders.
It could mean fewer suspended sentences in the future, and stiffer penalties from judges.
Blood samples could also be taken from those suspected of assault, where there is a risk of spreading an infectious disease by their actions, such as spitting or biting a person
Police officers, custody officers, fire and rescue service workers or volunteers, search and rescue service workers or volunteers and anyone engaged in providing NHS health services are among those covered.
"An attack on an emergency worker is, in a sense, an attack on all of us because they're simply trying to save other people's lives," Mr Bryant said.
"I just think that we need to say loud and clear that if you attack an emergency worker, we will not put up with it."
The principles behind Mr Bryant's bill have been backed by UK government ministers, and their Welsh Conservative colleagues in the assembly supported the consent motion for the bill.
Welsh health secretary Vaughan Gething said: "It is shocking to hear continued reports of emergency workers being attacked both physically and verbally while simply doing their jobs, trying to keep us all safe and well. This bill is part of dealing with this.
"We want emergency service workers in Wales to have the same protection as those in England and on the same timescales."
Under existing rules, AMs have to give consent to legislation from Parliament that applies to powers which are devolved to the Welsh Assembly and the Welsh Government.
In this case, the Welsh Government tabled the motion because the law affects the NHS and fire and rescue services, which are devolved.

Question: Any info on Fox's new fall show Prison Break? They were promoting it like crazy during 24. Is it worth watching? Jennifer
Ausiello: Yes, ma'am, it most certainly is. I screened the pilot over the weekend (notice a trend here?) and, unlike the aforementioned Inside, Prison Break knocked my Gold Toes off. It totally has the potential to be another 24, although given the conceit superstar-in-the-making Wentworth Miller hatches an elaborate plan to break his bro out of the pokey I don't see how Fox could get more than one season out of it. Of course, we all thought the same thing about Lost and look how that turned out.

Copywriting is a fine art that can take years to perfect but here is everything you really need to keep in mind in less than 500 words.
1. It pays to have a bit of a folksy, down-home style to your writing. That's a very good thing! Using phrases like "chewing the fat" and "that's a head-smacker" is the exact opposite of corporate-speak so it will resonate with readers. They won't feel like you're selling to them.
2. Tell stories rather than trying to make a sales pitch. Make use of humor and the unexpected.
For example, I was at a networking event recently. A few days earlier I'd severely cut my left forefinger. Several people noticed the very obvious bandage and asked about it. I answered by telling a true, but unexpected story of how it happened.
"It was a tragic oatmeal accident." (Stunned silence.) "Seriously. I was cutting up dried fruit to put in my oatmeal and it fought back. Oatmeal is dangerous stuff. Consequently, I'm not allowed near oatmeal anymore."
That was as much as I told. The people I was talking to (your readers if you were writing that in a promo) can figure out for themselves what really happened.
3. They may also be left wondering how much truth, if any, is in your story. A little mystery is a good thing for building interest. In situations like that, the truth is unimportant in most instances. The purpose of copywriting is to elicit a response, not to educate or inform. (Though sometimes that's necessary in order to make the sale.)
4. It's also important to write to an audience of one. When you are speaking, say mingling at a conference or during happy hour, even if you are telling a story to a small group of eight or ten people, you tell it in a personal way. Not as if you were addressing an impersonal audience of thousands.
Write the same way!
5. It's a good thing to have a large vocabulary but don't feel compelled to trot it out for every paragraph you write. No one's going to consult the dictionary just to understand what you've written. They will simply toss it into the ol' round file instead.
You are not writing to impress. In fact, your writing should be mostly invisible. Like the light switch on the wall.
When you walk into a room, you flick the switch without giving it a second thought. You don't think about all the parts in that switch or the route the electricity had to take in getting from the power plant to your light bulb. You flick the switch, you get light. End of story. Everything else just fades into the background.
Good copywriting should do the same.
5 Keys To Really Good Copywriting
Copywriting is a fine art that can take years to perfect but here is everything you really need to keep in mind in less than 500 words.

Integrating Off-The-Shelf Language Learning Podcasts into the Curriculum: a Typology for Digital Wisdom.
Charles Humblet, Arts eLearning Unit, University of Sydney, Australia
Global Learn, in Penang, Malaysia ISBN 978-1-880094-79-2 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE)
This paper reports on a work-in-progress project about the integration of Off-The-Shelf (OTS) Language Learning Podcasts into the curriculum of Higher Education Institutions. It argues for a measure of digital wisdom in order to go beyond the digital natives debate where students are seen as digital natives using mobile devices and teachers as digital immigrants trying to catch up with the technology. This paper argues that pedagogy should come first and should not be overshadowed by technology. Pedagogy needs to be the basis for establishing a typology of OTS Language Learning Podcasts and for evaluating their potential for language learning and integration into university courses.

They are frequently criticised for being racist but the reality is that there is in fact every breed of idiot involved with them not just racists. The sooner they move off the stage the better as we have a far more pressing issue to deal with in the reestablishment of the Republic than to be listening to idiots trying to distract people with their nonsense.

CORAL SPRINGS (CBSMiami) – A pit bull went on the attack, leaving its yard and injuring another dog in Coral Springs.
The other of the injured dog, which is named Henry, has spent $2500 at the vet.
That's all due to injuries the pit bull inflicted on Henry.
"The cops returned him," Henry's owner Don Colbert says of the pit bull. "He was back in his yard before my dog was home from the emergency room."
As a favor, Henry was being walked along 64th Drive in Coral Springs by neighbor Angela Baera.
"Just attacked and he went after Henry," Baera said. "I could not get him out. He was too strong. I started to scream as loud as I could."
Henry suffered severe lacerations. Fortunately for Baera, her husband was nearby.
"I started running toward her and she was able to pull the dogs away, and a good Samaritan stopped and grabbed the dog," said Tom Krawczyk.
CBS4's Hank Tester asked the owner of the pit bull if he had secured his pet. He came to the door and said, "No comment."
Neighbors in the area are concerned as they walk their dogs, with little comfort coming from the president of the home owners association.
"The only thing we can do is send them a letter and a notice," said Chuck Witt.
Colbert didn't get much more from Coral Springs Police.
"They told us all they can do is fine him," he said. "They can't take any kind of action unless the dog bites two more dogs or kills one, or bites a human."
The association president had another thought.
"Maybe we need more enforcement like Miami-Dade, which says you can't have pit bulls," added Witt.

The open beaches of Juhu have attracted the well-heeled and the most affluent among Mumbai's population for almost a century. In the 1890s, Jamsetji Tata purchased land on Juhu and built a bungalow there. He planned to develop 1200 acres (5 km²) in Juhu Tara. This was to yield 500 plots of one acre (4,000 m²) each and a seaside resort. Simultaneously he wanted to extend the Mahim Causeway to Santacruz, to access to this area. After his death in 1904, the scheme was abandoned. With the dawn of aviation in the 20th century, the Bombay Flying Club commenced operations in 1929 at what eventually became the present Juhu Aerodrome.

kevin i want to say.. it's all a game take a deep breath.. when we leave it's over.. and i will wink at you when i do say it
Re: Live Feed Updates Wednesday 8/30/17
jaosn people wopnder.. cuz everyone says something different.. everyone is so careful to listen to words.. so everyone wants to know.. and you said you dont like alex
kevin no i said that i dont like the way she is treating me.. i think she is mistreating me.. and i ahve the right to say that.. people are coming to me asking me what i did to alex.. and finally it came to a head.. and what im going to cry like a baby to her?

Re: Live Feed Updates Wednesday 8/30/17
What you need to know
last night kevin ask matt an innocent question and matt took that as an opportunity to yell at Kevin. The feeds went to fishies.. during that time Raven and Alex both jumped into that argument with kevin.
Alex and Raven both called him names.. asked about the $$ that was won. throwing comps,
Kevin told alex that he doesnt like her and that he's leaving with $40K when/if he leaves. And that he wont be talking to any of them when the show is over.
Kevin didnt say anything to raven(from what's been said so far)
This carried on thru the night on the retells.
Kevin was isolated from the group for most of the night
jason talked to kevin this morning and told him after yesterday that he's going to the end with alex that alex is his ride or die. And it's mainly because everyone wants Kewin out of the house.
Kevin knows to be safe next week he needs to win HOH and/or POV if he doesnt win HOH. He might be the back door option.
Jason is everyone's target except for alex and kevin next week.
Re: Live Feed Updates Wednesday 8/30/17

Today is my last day as a twentysomething
Tomorrow is the big 30. Just thought I'd mark the milestone somehow, the passing of an era. No longer will I "still have my youth" :-).
Unfortunately, there haven't been many web things considered here lately. I became a father for the 2nd time in early June, which has made this a wonderful time. However, time for blogs (both reading and writing) has dwindled as I sharpen my focus on family, work, and paying side-projects (yes, July also marks the first month that I will personally make money on NetworthIQ). I can see opportunities all around these days, it's just a matter of seizing them. That will be my goal as I enter my 30's. Less reading and talking, more doing.

A BEN Rhydding man has completed a marathon tennis playing session for a cause close to his heart.
Jason Horsman played continuously for 15 hours at Ilkley Tennis Club - which donated an indoor court for the occasion - on Friday, November 8. The event saw the 42 year old challenge multiple competitors in six, one-hour singles matches and nine doubles matches. The first game got underway at 6.30am and a 'completely exhausted' Jason hit his last ball at 9.30pm.
Proceeds from the day will go to Haven Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer Care which Jason says have provided 'superb' help to his family over the past 12 months.
Writing on his https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ page, he said: "Like many charities they do super-human things to give people advice, support and hope in their times of need." Jason's efforts have brought in nearly £2,600 and further donations would be welcomed.

Finding Ants with Wings?
Ants with wings are known as swarmers or reproductives. They emerge from established colonies to mate and reproduce. New colonies are formed by producing winged ants and swarming during the warmer weather of spring and early summer. Winged ants include both genders. Males are produced solely to fulfill reproductive functions and die shortly after mating, while newly mated females search for suitable nesting sites to lay eggs and become queens of the new colonies.
A Queen is Born
In an event known as a nuptial flight, ants with wings mate while swarming and flying through the air. After mating, the newly minted queen finds a prime location to create a nest, detach her wings, and lay her eggs. Winged males, on the other hand, typically die within two weeks of mating.
Upon establishing a nesting site to laying eggs, the formerly winged queen single-handedly raises the first generation of offspring. Once the newly hatched offspring reach adulthood, their role becomes worker ants to take charge of searching for food and expanding the nest while the queen retains sole responsibility for laying eggs.
Ant colonies generally take between three and six years to mature and produce winged swarmers capable of reproducing. The sight of ants with wings indoors therefore likely indicates the nearby presence of a mature, and probably large, colony. Additionally, since reproductive swarmers typically emerge from the colony between April and June, the presence of winged ants in the home during winter months usually signals the existence of an indoor infestation.
Solutions for Carpenter Ants
These type of ants are larger than most and have the ability to structurally destabilize a home as they consume fiberous material such as wooden support beams or joists. As these colonies typically start where there is moisture, mold and water ingress are likely as well.
mr natural® environmental group can assist you will understanding where their colonies are located within the structure and non-toxic solutions to eradicate them.

So glad to have Kate Shugat back in my life with all her characters. Know them. Love them.
You are a wonderful writer. Half way through Kate's stories. You make me think. Thanks
Have loved every word of all the Kate Shugak novels. Just reading them for the second time. Liam Campbell, Star Svendotter and the Silk and Song series too! You create such wonderful and believable characters in all your books.
I was gardening & had a fall. Broke my shoulder. Spent weeks in a sling while bones mended. What would I have done without Kate & Jim to spice up my helpless days. At least I could hold books. I knew little of Alaska so the learning was an added bonus.
Grateful thanks, Pam

You might think that when a wedding planner gets married she would have the grandest, most excessive and luxurious wedding imaginable. Well, I am not that kind of planner. That is why when Peter and I tied the knot we decided to do things in a somewhat unusual way. We craved an intimate, musical, street fair style; rustic and gypsy with a touch of vintage. That is why we opted for a tiny hill-top village in the Marche region of Italy as opposed to his home town of London. We invited 23 guests as opposed to 150 and got a crazy gypsy-style band as soundtrack to it all. Agriturismo Pozzuolo, with its amazing owners and delicacies was a natural choice for us as we love to hang out there anyway, and it provided the perfect location for our vision to come alive. Another natural choice were the photographers, Amaneraphoto, definitely one of the finest duos in Europe. The event planning and design was obviously curated by us at Merry Le Marche, and it turned out to be everything I had in mind and more. It was truly the most exhilarating day of our lives and we wish we could relieve it again and again from scratch. And I tell you what, thanks to these photos, we actually can…"

"Caroline, what am I supposed to say. That is so sad," said Abby. "When you say broke down what do you mean?"
"What about his family?"
"There's no family, he's somehow the last of his people. He never knew his mom and his dad disappeared when we were in school."
"I gotta say I'm touched but c'mon Caroline." Abby felt insulted. "You think I remind him of this Marcy. That's just wrong."
"I don't think it's so, it's been years," said Caroline, she could see that Abby had been caught in the allure of the story. "He knows you're going back to the city and that probably just freaks him out in general. I mean if there is really something going on between you two that would make sense."
Abby put her finger to her temple and fixed her eyes to Caroline.
"And what's this thing about the city?" asked Abby.
"Mitch grew up in the city, simple as that I think."
"Ghosts are only where we put them," said Abby.
"Something Mitch said to me that makes more sense now," said Abby as she picked up her Chardonnay and took a drink. "He literally keeps his ghosts in the city, that way Willow Lake is free and clear. As long as he avoids the city he's fine."
"Sounds familiar doesn't it."
Abby smirked at Caroline's reversal. "There aren't just ghosts in Willow Lake, Deary. There are plenty of ghoulies too."
"I suppose there is at least one at the studio."
"Tromping around in the darkness," said Abby. They both laughed and then there was a silence. Caroline looked out the window.
"So what do you plan to do?" asked Caroline
"What I planned to do, I am going back to the city."
Caroline looked out toward the lake and back at Abby, "You didn't tell Mitch when you plan to leave did you."

text: This is a lovely and beautiful love poem. It has very interesting use of similes with each stanza standing alone and cohesive with two analogies. For example, in the first stanza compares love to a rose and himself to a leaf. Together, Swinburne create the analogy of the two parts of the rose flower. Similarly in the third stanza, Swinburne compares the object of his affection to life and himself to death. In interpreting this stanza, it is important to point out that his analogy depends on the two intertwined things, much like the narrator and his love. In particular, life and death him forever intertwined as one because life would not be a sweet without the prospect and the eventual possibility of death. In other words, life was without death just like that would be without stability of life.

BioReliance End-to-End Biopharm Process Development
Case Study
The BioReliance® End-to-End (E2E) Biopharm Process Development laboratory in Burlington, MA enables its clients to reduce the time required to develop and produce cGMP biomolecules for clinical trials. A mid-sized facility, the E2E lab provides the support, equipment and expertise that smaller biotechs need to test and build their drugs and processes—from DNA all the way to the purified drug substance for clinical trials.
In order to deliver maximum value to their customers, the E2E lab needed their development processes to be efficient, reliable, and reproducible. However, the disparate data sources and workflows of their upstream instruments presented the team with considerable logistical challenges.
In a typical 15-day fed-batch process, samples would be taken from each of the lab's six or more bioreactors and then analyzed offline using four different upstream instruments: a metabolic analyzer, cell counter, osmometer, and blood gas analyzer. Each sample run would generate up to 25 data points that would be written down by hand, pasted into the batch record, and then manually copied into an Excel spreadsheet for further calculation; or roughly 300 data entries per day on a typical process.
All told, more than 4,500 data points would need to be manually transcribed over the course of 15 days, and a second scientist would be required to ensure all data was accurately transcribed. It was a very tedious, error-prone process that took about 90 minutes per day, while generating binders and binders of unsearchable paper records.
Executive Summary
A mid-sized bioprocessing lab connected four upstream instruments to BrightLab, with the following results:
- The automation of data collection, tagging, and storing resulted in an 80% reduction in manual steps, saving the lab 90 minutes per day from manual data entry.
- The lab's data is now centralized and synced into a single source, which can be accessed from anywhere with real-time monitoring.
- With significantly reduced paper documentation, the lab's data is now digitally stored in a secure, searchable archive.
BrightLab and TetraScience Solution
With the intended goal of increasing productivity, reducing overhead costs, and consolidating data, the E2E lab consulted with BrightLab and TetraScience to determine the feasibility of connecting their most important upstream instruments to the digital platform.
After a preliminary on-site analysis of workflows and data collection methods, the BrightLab and TetraScience teams devoted strategies to connect and parse data from different instruments—including file syncing, API connectors, and direct connectivity using Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Data from all the instruments now gets automatically transferred to BrightLab and is parsed into a standard JSON format for storage in a data lake. All this goes on behind the scenes, but now the researcher is able to select files, add metadata such as sample information, search and filter data, and export to Excel. Best of all, with a single click, a researcher is now able to generate a report in a user-defined format.
The implemented solution also supports API access to the data, so that the BrightLab ELN and other third-party systems can pull from the centralized data lake, and instrument data can be checked anytime, remotely.
By connecting four upstream instruments that are used in a typical bioprocessing workflow into BrightLab, the BioReliance E2E lab drastically reduced manual data entry and documentation, resulting in a more streamlined process.
» With the BrightLab solution we anticipate significant improvements in efficiency, saving around 90 minutes every day, mostly on data entry. Data is automatically loaded into Excel, eliminating multiple manual steps. This eliminates transcription errors and paper binders, and also eliminates the second reviewer when we are transcribing this data into the Excel set. «
– Keshab Rijal, Research Scientist for the End-to-End Lab.
Even before the team had been fully trained on BrightLab, it was immediately evident that the E2E lab's new connected solution would represent a significant time savings. While the lab previously had to manually capture, tag, store, parse, and analyze data individually for each instrument, they are now able to automate those steps for all the upstream instruments in a single workflow—an 80% reduction in manual steps. The data is now consolidated in one central location that is searchable, archivable, and in a format that can be readily shared with customers. Plus, the E2E lab was able to eliminate the need for a second reviewer entirely, which freed up their team's resources for more valuable scientific work.
» The data is now more available to monitor in real time, is searchable, and archived. With this solution, I can now focus on making the process better. «
– Keshab Rijal, E2E Research Scientist
Conclusions and Next Steps
Now that the BioReliance E2E lab has implemented the BrightLab and TetraScience solution, their next steps involve sustaining the success they have already realized, training more staff members on the solution, and making their processes even better.
In addition to the four upstream instruments that are connected in a single process workflow, 10 additional downstream instruments have also been individually connected, so that the raw data can be captured, parsed, and ported into BrightLab (see the box for the complete list of connected devices). For the downstream processes, the E2E lab is looking into how they can streamline and better utilize the instrument data at their disposal.
Looking ahead, the E2E lab is evaluating the use of BrightLab ELN and expanding their use of BrightLab Inventory Management as a way to simplify storage of process information in one location. With the instrument data already in a central hub, being able to access the project plans, protocol language, raw materials, and data in a single repository would represent additional significant gains in efficiency and cost savings.

Pylon of the Month - February 2018
February 04, 2018
A belated Happy New Year to pylon fans everywhere, but especially to those in Sweden, because that's where February's pylon comes from. We've had some amazing photographs recently, but I like to keep things real and so this month's pylon is a welcome return to the 'pylon pictures taken from the window of a moving vehicle' category. The last time one of these featured was back in January 2015. The picture arrived with this message
The pylon design is not common here in Sweden, but I find it quite beautiful. It, and one like it, are placed by the road Norrortsleden in Täby just north of Stockholm.
There was even a link to Google maps where you can see the pylon (and it's shadow).
If you happen to be in Sweden and February's pylon (plus it's nearby twin) isn't enough, then there is a chance to see two truly unique pylons. Here is the low down:
East of Stenkullen in Sweden there are two electricity pylons which are unremarkable when you look at them but they are unique in the world of electrical inventions and devices. The Konti-Skan, a high-voltage direct-current transmission line that runs between Denmark and Sweden is the only electricity pylons in the world that carry both AC and DC circuits.
Transmitting electrical power using Direct Current (DC) electricity might seem a bit strange if you are thinking back to school physics lessons with transformers and Alternating Current (AC). If that's the case, you need to find a friendly electrical engineer and ask them to give you a few lessons on HVDC. The key point is that it can be more efficient over longer distances, but it also allows power transmission between unsynchronized AC transmission systems. If my understanding is correct that is the key issue here when the link is between two different countries (Denmark & Sweden) but perhaps I need to find myself a friendly electrical engineer to check this. That's all for now folks.

JACKSON, Miss. – The Lady Tigers of Texas Southern University lost their second consecutive game Monday as they fell 73-64 at Jackson State.
TSU's Niya Mitchell posted her seventh double-double in the last 11 games, scoring 22 points and pulling in 11 rebounds, but it was not enough to send the Lady Tigers (10-13, 6-6 SWAC) back to Houston with a victory.
Richelle Velez scored 16 points for Texas Southern, while Olivia Cunningham chipped in nine points and handed out seven assists for the visiting Lady Tigers.
Marniesha Hamer came off the bench to score 20 points on 9-of-10 shooting for Jackson State (11-13), which improved to 7-6 in Southwestern Athletic Conference play.
Texas Southern jumped out to an 11-2 lead barely five minutes into the first quarter and seemed in control of the contest for most of the first half. The visiting Lady Tigers would twice hold leads of 10 points in the second quarter.
A jumper in the paint by Mitchell stretched TSU's lead to 29-19, but Jackson State responded with a 10-0 run to pull the host Tigers back into a tie with their visitors. TSU missed three shots and turned the ball over three times during that stretch.
After the teams returned from halftime tied at 36-36, TSU's shooting went cold in the third quarter, as the visiting Tigers shot just 23 percent (3 of 13) from the field while Jackson State pulled away from its visitors. TSU trailed 56-45 after the end of three quarters and would get no closer than six points away from its hosts for the remainder of the contest.
The Lady Tigers return to action Saturday when they open a two-game homestand, starting with a visit from Arkansas–Pine Bluff. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

Well ya'll… It's been FAR too long since I have taken the time to sit down and blog. But today, I blog. Let's just say that I had an experience earlier in the week that was worth writing about. On this blog I have spared no expense sharing my heart. You all know that I am a sinner. The whole reason I came back around to Christ was because my life was headed in the wrong direction, and filled with sin and suffering. I am not too self-righteous to admit this. However, I want to share with you – there are a lot of people who are. I feel bad for those. My heart reaches out for those who appear to themselves "on a high horse", and some of them – I am finding – are "Christians". That's not the way it was intended to be. We are called to BE THE GOOD in the world. When we see someone who has overcome sin, hurdles, and obstacles in life, it's not up to us to judge or condemn.
I ran into a person in a restaurant the other day. To say the least, it was an unpleasant meeting. She called me by name as I was walking out, I responded and walked over, then she asked: "you're a Christian blogger right?" To which I replied "yes." Then the fun began! (sarcasm). Sheer attack is what I was faced with. She began yelling, pointing, causing a scene, name calling, and just downright being rude. Contrary to what I thought my reaction would be (ahem-slam her head into the wall behind her ) I was gentle, calm, and began trying to make sense of her madness, even to offer a 'conversation' (to no avail). I quoted scripture in rebuttal. (To which I was impressed, I didn't even know that was in there!) This Cherish, The one who has been overtaken with the mercy and grace of God, has changed my heart of stone to a very soft ball of flesh.
It made me realize that all the things I have been saying is true. I am a changed person. God has done something INCREDIBLE through little ole me. As I left, I wondered who told her she could throw stones? When I walked away from that mess of a person, I was somewhat proud of that event that occurred. Even though it was a bash to my "ego", I realized that I have lost my ego. I realized I have lost my "pride"(which was too big to begin with) and became solely dependent on God to fight my battles for me. It was truly amazing to walk away feeling on top of it. I had nothing to feel ashamed about – though she did. (Though probably too self-righteous to admit it.) The bible warns against this here: Romans 12:16- Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Afterall, Matt 7 says: Judge not lest ye be judged.
That experience in itself made me ponder. A hypocrite like that is the reason people don't go to church. The reason some are afraid to go to church, and who' don't lik'e to go to church. It's because a "Christian" like that is on the pew behind them! It's Christians who call themselves Christians on Sundays and get into brawls and fits of rage that cause problems.
Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. If you live by those guidelines you realize everyone starts somewhere.
Let's See What the Bible Really Says About Judging:
"Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy." (Prov 31:9)
"Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations." (Ezek 22:2)
"But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." (1 Cor 2:15)
"Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?" (1 Cor 6:2)
I have decided that I will stand for what God wants from me in this lifetime. Though it doesn't make worldly "sense" to me, I trust God – and my measure of faith is all I have, and it's sufficient. 1 Corin 2:10 "But God has revealed them to us through is spirit. For the spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows, the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the spirit of God." Romans 8:1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. EVERYONE is a sinner. But it is in honestly, sincerely, wholeheartedly asking God to forgive you of it – that makes you new and forgiven.
I am forgiven.
Proverbs 18:19- Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
So I thought back about what happened in the restaurant, and God led me to this. Galatians 5:19-26
Now the works of the flesh are evident which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dessentions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; Of which I told you in a time past that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
So, to the lady at the restaurant… I will advise you (as a Christian) read Galations 5:19-26. As I read it, I suffer the condemnation of the flesh. (As do you.) It seems to me that you and I are just alike in Christ's eyes. However, I walked away and WALKED IN THE SPIRIT in the face of attack.
God bless,
Every Knee will bow, and every eye will close.
I was driving today and started thinking about all the things I am grateful for. What better way to start off the day than to make a list and show gratitude on Grati-Tuesday!
I am grateful for my 2nd chance in Christ. I was saved at 18 years old in my grandmothers church. Though I had heard Gods call on my life- I ignored it for years. I am grateful that he grabbed me on the collar and made me walk a straighter line. With that, I am grateful for the newness within me and the love of Christ that I never truly experienced before.
I want to show gratitude for my sweetie also. To the man that wakes up every morning with a smile on his face and a song on his lips for me. The man who makes the worlds best cup of coffee and hands it to me with a hug and a kiss and a simple "I love you". Coffee will never taste the same if it's not prepared by that man.
I am grateful for family. Thankful that they will stand by you and beside you when need be. Extremely grateful to still have my family still with me on this Earth. I can still call mom and dad, my sisters and niece, and hear their voices and laughter on the other line.
I am grateful for the heart of flesh within me. I had been so hardened for so many years, I now understand the difference. I cry when I see things wrong, I have empathy and compassion where there was none. I feel extremely, uncontrollably, human again – and that is a dying breed here.
I am grateful for work. Just to have a job in this downed economy would be enough, but God gave me a job that I love, where I can really make a difference and feel fulfilled.
I am grateful for friends. Not just the many acquaintances I have come to know through work, but true friends. The friends that I would trust my life with. Im thankful to the friends I get to share my walk with God with. Those friends that knew me before and after, and who understand and appreciate who I am today.
I am thankful and grateful that my priority list was assigned and designated by God. That I have marching orders and if I obey, I have the promise of Gods blessing on my life. I am so grateful to be where I am at this point in my life. I feel as though I am a rocketship on a landing pad just waiting for blastoff!
I am grateful for every breathe I take. I pray I never forget how precious the breathe of life really is.

Marathon writing
"When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages a sick sense of failure falls on me and I know I can never do it. Then gradually I write one page and then another." – John Steinbeck
I take a perverse comfort in knowing that a winner of both a Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature felt the same trepidation and prevailing sense of failure that I feel when faced with my own work in progress.
The problem with successfully writing a novel – and a good novel, no less – in 24 days is that it becomes the new expectation. Mind, I'm the only one who expects me to repeat this feat, but the pressure, however self-imposed, is still so prevalent. And as such, it becomes frustrating that The WIP seems to be taking so long.
Most people do not write novels in 24 days. I have to remind myself of this fact. Moreover, it usually takes a great deal of time to put words on paper (or onto the screen) in such a way that the prose and dialogue reads easily from the printed page. And yet, despite this knowledge, I refuse to believe that WTRPCPSU is an anomaly. In my mind, there's no reason this can't be the norm. I mean, why can't I spew a couple thousand words each day and have them make perfect sense?
My approach to The WIP has been different from WTRPCPSU, though. In fact, everything about it is different. I mean, when I initially sat down to write WTRPCPSU, it was just for fun. I did it for the challenge. But The WIP is different. It's not just that I'm terrified of the Sophomore Slump. It's not just worrying about disappointing my agent or this overwhelming need to prove that I'm not a fluke.
It's like when I trained last year to run my first 5K. I wanted to prove that I could do it. And I did it. It may not have been the best speed ever and my older niece may have run it faster than I did, but I didn't care. I did it.
The next race was a 12K, and it wasn't a much fun. Oh, sure, I did it, but my approach to training for it was different, and because I had expectations, it was harder. Even worse was the next 12K, but for that race, I really didn't train much at all for it. I had fun doing it because I was with my sister and our friends, and I was euphoric when it was over, but I didn't feel that same enthusiasm for it that I did with that first 5K, and I didn't finish it as fast as I expected to.
And I think that's where my problem lies. I have expectations. Normally, that's not a bad thing, but in this case, it's become debilitating. Back when my expectation was just to finish a story without regard to its quality, writing was no big deal. Now I feel like each of my words carry an untold weight. I shouldn't feel that way, but I do.
I need to view each book as its own race, independent of the one before it. Maybe WTRPCPSU was like a race on a fast, flat pavement. The WIP, then, is like a race on hilly terrain, making it a very different kind of race. As such, I need to remind myself that it's okay to take more time to finish this.
Just like I was always careful to take care of myself and ensure I didn't injure myself when I was training or racing, I need to allow myself the same courtesy while I write. After all, I gave myself permission to take breaks whenever I ran.
I need to be good to myself when I write, too.
