SK5165/016 Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. The SK5165 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Swarovski collections 2015 and 2016.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The oval shape suits almost any type and is a particularly good choice for those who prefer unobtrusive eyeglasses. This oval frame is particularly suitable for heart-shaped faces, but also suits every other face shape, because the SK5165 is a real all-rounder. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. Shiny glasses are the perfect accessory for any outfit. They light up your face and all eyes are on you.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Swarovski back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get SK5165 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

National Novel Writing Month @ DCPL
National Novel Writing Month @ DCPL
30 Days. 50,000 Words. 1 Novel.
November is National Novel Writing Month!
Have you ever dreamed of writing the Great American Novel? Do you have a torrid romance burning inside you? Do you know why the aliens are coming to get you, and you have to share the secret of their extra-dimensional technology with the world? Then you, my friend, are a prime candidate for NaNoWriMo!
Each year, National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) encourages people to take on the challenge of writing a 50,000 word first draft of a novel in only 30 days. Each year over 300,000 people participate in Nanowrimo activities around the world. The DC Public Library is making a commitment to support our local NaNo Writers, from providing space and some friendly competition to fantastic incentives for registered participants who meet their wordcount goal.
When you sign up to write you are eligible for a NaNo Startup Kit which includes a Finish-It Toolkit designed to help writers take the next step after that first draft, and includes a voucher for workshops on creating cover art and typesetting a book, as well as one free print-out of the book from our print-on-demand Book Machine.
EventsAuthor Panel: From Idea to Draft, How Authors Craft a Novel
Sunday, October 25th, 1:30 p.m.
RSVP Here
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library
From outlines to sheer inspiration, there are many ways to write a book. This panel will focus on different methods authors use to get started writing their novels including character development, outlining, world building and more. A variety of authors from different genres will reflect on their process from inspiration to putting words on the page. This will be a great preparation session for writers prepping for National Novel Writing Month in November, or for established authors interested in hearing about another's craft.

Current and trendy yet crisp and classic, polka dot party supplies are one of those multi-tasking motifs that never go out of style. The cheery pattern can become a great part of a range of themes with any color scheme. Our unique and vibrant colors also lend themselves to a variety of fun occasions, from a Sweet 16 party to a baby or bridal shower, prom and beyond.
Satin is among a range of stylish yet affordable decorating fabrics available at Stumps Party. They're great for brightening any venue but they excel in rooms where the walls are blah and the atmosphere is institutional. Many also can be reused. It doesn't take much time, and it costs absolutely nothing, to convert last year's backdrop to this year's table overlay or chair bows that add the final touch of elegance to your prom, party or formal. Some fabrics, such as tulle, are so cheap that it's easy to find room in the budget every year. Just like filmy gossamer, tulle is a great material for playing with lighting effects. Create tulle scallops intertwined with lights, and you've added mystical magic and a gentle glow to your party scene.

We said we wanted to be, and would be so elated… the nurse told us we were before the doctor showed up and it was the best experience ever. Telling my mom was easy because she thought I was pregnant before I thought I was. Mom's do have great intuition. My dad didn't take it very well, but who cares??

Police say man holds up methadone clinic
NEWPORT — Newport police say a man with a handgun tried to rob a northern Vermont methadone clinic, prompting officials to lock down two local schools and the hospital.
Police say the robbery at the BAART methadone clinic on Union Street was reported just before 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The suspect was displayed a handgun during the incident and demanded methadone. The suspect fled without obtaining any drugs.
The man was tracked by a police dog and local, state and federal agents, but searchers lost the trail a short distance from the clinic.
The robbery prompted police to lock down the Newport City Elementary School, North Country Union High School and the North Country Hospital.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Grace Phelps scored twice, while Victoria Gates, Ally Brink and Alaura Rich also...

|July 29, 2014Rocky Mount, N.C. – The USA South's 2014 Football Media Day was held Monday, July 28th, at Maryville College. Each of the Conference's nine football coaches addressed the media and gave their thoughts on the upcoming season. The USA South preseason poll was also unveiled at the beginning of the event, with the Battling Bishops earning a 7th-place billing.
Wesleyan's 2014 squad is looking to rebound from a 2-8 season a year ago, and second-year head coach Jeff Filkovski hopes his 60 returners are poised to restore the success that has seen NCWC post a 42-27 mark versus USA South competition since the program's inception. Among those returners are nine offensive and seven defensive starters, led by First Team All-Conference selections Jacques Alston in the backfield and Travonne Marshall at defensive back.
"It's a great time to be at North Carolina Wesleyan College," said Filkovski. "Moving into my second year, I'm very excited about some of the things we should be able to do offensively. We're still young defensively, but I'm pleased with how our players have developed in the offseason."
He concluded, "The character of our football team will lie in the offensive and defensive lines."
Topping the poll was Maryville College, which was picked to defend its 2013 title with five first-place votes and 60 total points. The Scots were followed by Christopher Newport with a trio of first-place votes and 55 points, while Methodist University earned a third-place billing with 54 points and the remaining first-place tally.
Following the press conference, each coach offered remarks about a potential "Impact Player" for the 2014 season. Filkovski spoke briefly about Alston, who is less than 300 yards away from becoming the program's all-time leading rusher. That video can be viewed HERE.
In preparation for Monday's press conference, the league also released its 2014 Football Media Guide, which previews the upcoming seasons of all nine USA South football institutions. The guide can be found HERE or by visiting the football page of the USA South website, which also houses the complete preseason coaches poll, as well as photos and video from the event.
The 2014 USA South football schedule kicks-off on Saturday, September 6th, as all nine Conference teams will begin their seasons with non-conference action. The Bishops will host their first home night game in program history that evening versus Stevenson University at 7:00pm. All home games will once again be played at Rocky Mount Athletic Stadium.

Review by M
Here's the fuzzy lead up to why I read Half of a Yellow Sun in the first place, and my mixed but hopeful expectations for it:
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Purple Hibiscus is one of those books that has a special place on my shelves. I read it during a period when I was reading little fiction and not making note of my thoughts about that which I did read (other than the piles of non-fiction, of course!). Consequently, I remember little of what Purple Hibiscus is about other than that my enduring response to it is similar to the one I hold for Tsisti Dangarembga's Nervous Conditions (both are about teenage girls in African countries). In short, Ngozi Adichie had earned a place in my reading heart. But then I tried reading Americanah, her most recent novel and the main character's internal whining jarred too much with me, and I left it unfinished and disappointed. But then someone from Booktrust told me how much they'd loved Half of a Yellow Sun, so I kept a wary eye out for it, curious as to whether it would be another Purple Hibiscus, an Americanah, or something else for me.
It was definitely more Purple Hibiscus, so I'm very happy and would recommend this novel to a variety of people.
Three things stood out most for me in Half of a Yellow Sun. - I learned something, I enjoyed the storytelling/plot over character (I know!), and yes, there is something about the writing (or structure) that jars with me a little.
The story is set in 1960s Nigeria, just before and during the civil war and the establishment of Biafra. Yes, I'd forgotten about Biafra (and Ngozi Adichie raises an eyebrow or smiles wryly inwardly), so I learned quite a bit from the plot, which often pleases me. For example, the title of the book is taken from a symbol on the Biafran flag. I'm sure I never knew that.
The plot became the page turner for me, and I read this novel for long uninterrupted periods over a few days - which is the first novel of the five I've read this year that has had that effect on me. Either I've reached a turning point or that's saying something about Half of a Yellow Sun. At least, it's saying that the novel tells a good story: that of love and human relationships within an extended family/household, and civil war.
Characterwise, the narrator and the novel moves back and forth among its main characters: Ugwu (the houseboy), Olanna (the long suffering beauty), Kainene (the ugly twin), Odenigbo (Master and revolutionary lover), and Richard (white man writer in Africa). Ugwu, for me, is by far the most charming of the characters. Olanna is a character who doesn't feel 'right' to me and I'm starting to think that Ngozi Adichie's main female characters are always going to have this effect on me. But, that thought doesn't sit true with Purple Hibiscus, whose main character is female. Interestingly, too, Ugwu and Kambili (Purple Hibiscus) are both teenagers. Perhaps then, I like Ngozi Adichie's characterisation of teenagers but not female adults. I'd have to reread Purple Hibiscus to get to the bottom of that one.
Structurally, I wasn't overly keen. The novel moves back and forth between the early and the late 1960s. The middle of these periods turns on two points: Biafra and war, and personal relationship troubles. Often I feel that this is done for no other reason than to introduce suspense. The novel does this but annoyingly it also 'spoils' some of the plot by telling me what happens before the story has reached it natural course (yep, for once, I'm plumping for a more linear tale!). There's also a strange device that occasionally tags the draft of a novel onto the end of chapters. The strange thing about this is it's written by the narrator and not the 'author'. For me, it obstructs the flow. I understand that Ngozi Adichie is making a political point about who should tell which stories but the whole of Half of a Yellow Sun does this anyway.
A last and, for me, interesting observation: sexual references are littered throughout the novel. Far more than I remember reading in other novels for a long time. This, perhaps, says more about the other novels that I've been reading rather than the amount of sex in Half of a Yellow Sun.
Most of this review sounds quite critical, more so than some of my other reviews. Maybe it just had more personal bite for me, and maybe I like that because it's the novel I've enjoyed reading most so far this year.

Why I'm not reading Go Set A Watchman
For months, the question a few people have asked me is 'Are you going to read Harper Lee's new book'? On hearing that Go Set A Watchman (GSAW) was some sort of sequel or prequel to To Kill A Mockingbird (TKAM) and that there was controversy around its publication, my alarm bells started ringing.
TKAM is one of my favourite novels. I recently re-read it and enjoyed it far more than I did when I was at school. This is partly because it's a novel legendary in its stand alone character and it is symbolic of much that is very personal to me, its reader. A bit like an impressionist painting, for me, it artistically captures a moment. While the characters are very much alive for me, I've locked them in that moment and tied them to TKAM's form. And so, I didn't particularly wish to visit a story about Scout in adulthood.

My gut instincts were calmly saying ' No, I'll not read it,' but my curiosity and raised sense of excitement at the huge publication promotions, meant that not having a copy of this brand new GSAW made me feel left out. This side of me was screaming, "Go read it now!'
But the gut instinct niggled and then, a review out today and some critics who criticise the other critics and readers, pulled me back and out of the hype. GSAW is a novel that was rejected for publication and was then reworked into TKAM. In terms of novel development, GSAW is a draft in the publishing (or writing) process. From this perspective, it may be wonderful for literary theorists and students of literature.

TKAM is one of my favourite novels. I recently re-read it and enjoyed it far more than I did when I was at school. This is partly because it's a novel legendary in its stand alone character and it is symbolic of much that is very personal to me, its reader. A bit like an impressionist painting, for me, it artistically captures a moment. While the characters are very much alive for me, I've locked them in that moment and tied them to TKAM's form.

The True Face Revolution: Dream Boldy
True Face is a new non-fiction book from author, Siobhan Curham. It's an interactive self-help and exploratory guide that will get teens thinking (so says Little M (15) who has been reading an advance copy ). It's all about how you think and feel about, and see, yourself in today's social media frenzy world and in the future. It's full of advice and 'quizzes' (a bit like the ones a life coach might get you to do). It publishes in the UK today and I'd keep a look out for it if I was you.
One of the things Siobhan talks widely about is the importance, the freedom and even the courage to dream boldly. Here, Siobhan shares an exercise that gives you a taste of what True Face offers. And there's a website too - Siobhan is building up an ambassadorial revolution!
Over to Siobhan.
In True Face I talk a lot about the importance of dreaming boldly. But how can we make our dreams a reality?
The following exercise is taken from True Face and it's one I did way back when I was still dreaming of becoming a writer. I'd like to point out that at the time I had no contacts in the publishing world, I'd dropped out of uni, I'd never attended a writing class and I was a young mum. So if it worked for me, it can definitely work for you!
Take some time when you know you won't be interrupted. Sit or lie somewhere comfortable, with a notebook and pen handy, then close your eyes and relax.
Picture yourself in five years' time.
- How old will you be?
- Where would you like to be?
- What would you like to be doing?
- Who would you like to be with?
In this dream world anything is possible, so if your inner voice starts saying things like: 'you could never achieve that', please just ignore it. For the purposes of this exercise, anything is possible.
Once you've got a basic idea of how you'd like your life to be let's get a bit more detailed.
Picture yourself waking up in your dream life five years from now and slowly take yourself through your dream day.
- Where are you living?
- Who are you living with?
- Where do you work?
- What do you do for fun?
Dream boldly, remembering that anything's possible.
How do you feel, living this dream life?
Really enjoy getting into these feelings.
Imagine the places you go to and all the different things you do throughout your day.
Then, when you're ready, open your eyes and jot down everything you can remember.
When I first did this exercise I was living in a flat above a chip shop in London with a new baby. I'd never had a word published and I was on maternity leave. As the youngest of my friends to become a mum, I was feeling slightly down and isolated.
My five-year goal was to be living in the countryside with a book deal.
When I got more detailed about it, I added in a lunch with a big group of friend, a dance class and an evening stroll somewhere scenic.
It seemed so far from where I was to where I wanted to be, the enormity of my dream was daunting to say the least.
But the joy of this exercise is that it breaks things right down.
So, if your five year dream seems impossible to get to from where you are right now, don't panic.
In your notebook, write a new title: ONE YEAR DREAM
What could you realistically achieve in the next year towards your overall goal?
When I did this I realised that I could realistically try to get an article and short story published so I made that my goal.
Once you're clear on your one year goal, break it down even further.
What could you realistically achieve towards that one year goal in the next month?
I made my one month goal to write the first draft of a short story.
And, if you like, you can break it down even further than that, asking yourself what you could achieve in the next week and the next day.
By breaking our dreams down like this, we create manageable stepping stones. And with each stepping stone we cross, we become more confident and our five year dream looks more possible.
This is exactly what happened to me.
Within a year, I'd had a handful of articles and short stories published.
And within two years, I'd got my first book deal.
I'm writing this blog post from my home in the Hertfordshire countryside (nowhere near a chippy!), earlier today I went dancing and had lunch with friends and True Face is my tenth book to be published, with another couple to follow soon. This is what happens when we dream boldly; our reality can exceed even our wildest dreams!

UKYA Extravaganza: Dawn Kurtagich
Welcome to our stop on the UKYA Extravaganza blog tour where Dawn Kurtagich, author of the forthcoming YA novel, The Dead House, is our guest. UKYA Extravanagaza is one of the first big author organised events outside of London and the home counties. Well done to author Kerry Drewery for spearheading it. And now to Dawn who you can meet alongside 34 other YA authors in Birmingham on 28th February.
|Left: UK cover; Right: US cover
Because The Dead House isn't out in the UK 'til August (& we haven't read it), here's what Dawn says about it (nothing quite like whetting an appetite on Valentine's, is there?):
"THE DEAD HOUSE is a twisty little book full of half untruths and a broken girl who doesn't exist.
Three students: dead.
Carly Johnson: vanished without a trace.
Two decades have passed since an inferno swept through Elmbridge High, claiming the lives of three teenagers and causing one student, Carly Johnson, to disappear. The main suspect: Kaitlyn, "the girl of nowhere."
Kaitlyn's diary, discovered in the ruins of Elmbridge High, reveals the thoughts of a disturbed mind. Its charred pages tell a sinister version of events that took place that tragic night, and the girl of nowhere is caught in the center of it all. But many claim Kaitlyn doesn't exist, and in a way, she doesn't – because she is the alter-ego of Carly Johnson.
Carly gets the day. Kaitlyn has the night. It's during the night that a mystery surrounding the Dead House unravels and a dark, twisted magic ruins the lives of each student that dares touch it."
And now here're a few things you probably never knew about Dawn:
|Dawn Kurtagich sporting 'Watson'
WSD: "I wrote a letter to my love and on the way I dropped it." To whom would you write and where would you drop it?
Dawn Kurtagich: Hm… I'd want a very clever homing pigeon to find it and fly it to my love (so he'd think I had all kinds of mad Cinderella skills). Either that, or I would hope it could find its way to someone who really needed it.
WSD: What book would you recommend someone else read on Valentine's Day and why?
DK: I make no secret of the fact that I am a big fan of Juliet Marillier's work. Her Daughter of the Forest is definitely the most romantic book I have ever read (I've linked to the Goodreads page if you want more info). A little magic makes it even better. I love this book because of Sorcha, the main character. She is so strong, but so alone. Everything is taken away from her, yet she has strength enough to try and get it back, and it nearly costs her even more. Then, after all she's been through, she has to give up the person she loves most. It's beautiful. It's romantic in every way, with a capital "R"—and a fictional medieval Ireland? Yes, please. A second really good choice is Spirit Fox by Mickey Zucker Reichert and Michelle Wingert. Very readable. For YA: Anna and the French Kiss. CUTE!
WSD: Apparently your accent is a bit of a hodge-podge (welcome to my world!). What places might we detect in it?
DK: It is! You might detect an English accent, a little South African, a little American and possibly a little Australian. Though, when my Canadian friend comes to see me, I take on her lilt, apparently! Growing up in so many places means that I can't really answer the question "where are you from?" very easily. It's a problem. A very interesting problem!
WSD: Why is orange your favourite colour?
DK: I'd say that orange is definitely one of my favourite colours—it's a colour for passion and warmth. But my favourite is a very specific type of green. Green is the best colour, anyway. The end. ;)
WSD: How and why did your hat get named Watson?
DK: Watson named himself. You'll need to ask him why... (though he's a cheeky bugger and may evade questions with more questions). He even makes an appearance in The Dead House!
The Dead House is forthcoming from Orion/Indigo (UK) and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (US) in 2015.

The Jakarta Post
An Australian cruise ship is scheduled to anchor at Tanah Ampo harbor in Karangasem regency this Sunday (July 17), the first ship to make a stopover there after several others cancelled their visits due to unfinished docking facilities.
The Sun Princess cruise ship, which started its journey three weeks ago, will be making its final stopover in Tanah Ampo before returning to Fremantle, Western Australia.
There are 2,100 passengers and 880 crew members on board. Kicking off their journey in Fremantle, they went to Padang and Langkawi, making a turnaround in Singapore before heading to Vietnam and Cambodia.
Tanah Ampo still needs a wharf extension to be able to accommodate cruise ships.
Its current pier is only 154 meters long, which falls short of the international standard of at least 300 to 350 meters.
The construction remains unfinished, although it was initiated years ago, due to the lack of budget of around Rp 200 billion (US$23.6 million) from the central government.
Even though the docking facilities are not yet finished, cruise ships can anchor some 400 meters away from the wharf and small boats will bring the passengers and crew to a floating jetty to reach the terminal.
The Sun Princess was initially scheduled to anchor on Tanah Ampo on Saturday (July 9), but the plan was cancelled because the floating jetty was not fully prepared. The cruise instead docked in Benoa Harbor in southern Denpasar.
Two Sun Princess crew members came to Tanah Ampo on Saturday to ensure the harbor's preparedness to welcome the cruise.
Cruise staff captain Kevin Grant said that after observing the facility, the floating jetty still needed some improvements to make it safer for the passengers and the crew.
"We'll just wait for some improvements to be made on the floating jetty. We need safety nets on the side, so that children don't fall,"
he said, adding that the facility should also be accessible for disabled passengers.
If everything in Tanah Ampo is ready, the harbor would be safer than Benoa, he said.
Cruise hotel general manager and crew member Karin agreed that Tanah Ampo has great potential to be a cruise harbor, saying it has a panoramic view of a mountainous area with green rice fields as also a scenic backdrop at the location.
"The view is beautiful, with mountains around. For foreigners who are coming to Bali for the first time, this is fantastic," she said.
She said improvements should also be made at the terminal building, including improved pavement and ample parking lot.
"We need solid pavement inside the terminal so that passengers don't go through mud when it rains. And also for the buses — we need ample space so that people can actually get in and out of the buses."
I Gusti Lanang Bagus Wirawibawa, a project monitoring officer from state-owned port operator PT Pelindo III, said all improvements would be finished within the next couple of days.
"Everything will be prepared based on the Sun Princess cruise requests."
Karangasem Transportation Agency head Ida Bagus Putu Suastika said the harbor had officially commenced operations, although not all facilities had been completed following the issuance of a temporary license on June 28.
A two-story terminal building has been constructed in Tanah Ampo to welcome the cruise ship tourists.
In the first floor, a health clinic, immigration office, cafe, small shops, a mini stage for dance performance, as well as departure and arrival gates will be built.
Tourists can go to the second floor to enjoy the beautiful views of mountains and rice fields overlooking the sea.

Barre water line break creates sinkhole
Staff Report
BARRE A high-pressure water line blew out Wednesday night, creating a massive sinkhole in the middle of Third Street that prompted the residential streets closure to through traffic.
City Engineer Reg Abare said it wasnt clear what caused the break that was reported at 8:30 p.m., but the problem was quickly isolated using gate valves on either end of the short street that runs between North Main and Beckley streets.
With the break easily contained and no one believed to be without water, Abare said, repairs were pushed off until Thursday morning to avoid overtime expenses associated with night work.
According to Abare, the section of 8-inch cast iron pipe is several decades old and could have fractured due to a water hammer caused by a fire hydrant being opened and quickly closed. He said he hadnt had time to explore that theory.
Third Street remained closed to through traffic Thursday while the high-pressure line was being repaired.MORE IN This Just InSOUTH BURLINGTON While thinking about space exploration might be associated with Cape...

Major League Baseball is en route to having a kid wonder in the nation's capital. You might have heard the news. At the moment, he's just 17 years of age. He's known for smacking 500-foot home runs. As a catcher, he can throw runners out from his knees. On the mound, his fastball has been clocked at 96 m.p.h. And in a perfect world, devoid of the self-righteous and sanctimonious, that is all any of us would ever know about Bryce Harper.
Except that's not all we know about MLB's top overall pick in the draft earlier this week, is it? We also know the wonder boy from Las Vegas who dropped out of high school to get his GED did so to expedite his ascension to the majors. So while it's one thing for Harper and his parents to elect to do so, wisely exploiting his potential in ways that make America great, it's quite another for MLB to allow such flagrant circumvention of our educational process by a minor, no less.

Carl Zeiss Touit Makro Planar 2.8/50mm T* Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments
5 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
Seem's like great! I think the design is so simple.
The rubber focus rings look like dust magnets. I'd say the main rival is the Fuji 60mm f/2.5 macro, and it would have been nice to get a comparison.
SEL-30M35 is also offering 1:1 on E-Mount, but on 35mm it's more a table top lens than really suitable to common macro uses – fortunately it's very affordable.
Sony a6000 and Zeiss Touit 50mm Macro.
The lens is useless with the camera when the on board flash is used. There is a 3 second delay between pressing the shutter and the flash and shutter activating.
It is a disgrace that Zeiss released the lens with this fault.
This lens does not have a plastic barrel. The entire barrel is metal and rubber.

2 buses destroyed, 2 damaged in Meadville fire
MEADVILLE -- Firefighters were called to a blaze that involved four school buses in Crawford County on Sunday.
"Two of them were totally destroyed," Meadville Fire Chief Tunie Hedrick said.
The other two buses had what he called "substantial damage" to the outside.
The fire was reported Sunday at 7:55 a.m. at Hubbard Bus Service, 355 Rogers Ferry Road, Hedrick said.
He said all four buses were outside and the fire initially involved just two of the vehicles before spreading to the other two.
"It doesn't look suspicious," he said.
However, the cause of the fire remained under investigation, Hedrick said Sunday.
Meadville firefighters had the blaze under control at 8:15 a.m. No injuries were reported, Hedrick said.
He said the buses were used to transport students to Crawford County schools.

The past few days have been a rollercoaster ride of emotions for Spartan basketball fans.
After beating top-ranked Kentucky on Tuesday night, Michigan State returned home and almost lost its first November home game since 1986 on Friday night.
Instead, Michigan State squeaked out a 62-53 win against Columbia and might be headed for the No. 1 ranking in the next weekly polls – but Tom Izzo wants nothing to do with the top-ranked label.
"We've just got to hope now that Kansas blows someone out so they move them ahead of us," Izzo said. "Because we proved tonight that we're not ready to handle any kind of success, and that disappoints me."
Even if the Spartans added an extra notch in 'W' column Friday night, they aren't satisfied.
"We just didn't come with the energy that we needed to win the game," Harris said. "We won, but it was definitely too close for comfort."
It took an 11-2 run in the final six minutes of play – after trailing for more than 20 minutes throughout the night.
Senior Adreian Payne stepped up for the Spartans in the final minutes, scoring 10 of his game-high 26 points in the final seven minutes of the game to bring Breslin to life and help Michigan State pull away from the Lions late.
Michigan State grabbed the lead and never trailed again when it went up 48-46, with 7:28 to play after sophomore Gary Harris drained a floater.
It was MSU's first lead of the game since it went ahead 15-14 with 7:59 on the clock in the first half.
Despite beginning and ending the game with strong play – MSU started the game on a 9-0 run – the rest of the game was a performance the Spartans will soon want to forget.
The Spartans were sloppy in transition and missed several rebound opportunities on both sides of the court late in the first half. Michigan State couldn't get shots to fall, either, shooting 35 percent from the field.
After being outrebounded by Kentucky on Tuesday, Izzo talked about getting the pads out and working on that, but MSU again was beaten on the glass as Columbia held a 31-27 edge.
"That's just something that's unacceptable; Michigan State is known for its rebounding," Harris said. "I don't even think that's happened in Izzo's career - being outrebounded in two straight games."
Early minutes in the second half featured more of the same from the Spartans, although things started to pick up.
Junior Branden Dawson slammed home an alley-oop from Appling on the fast break to bring the score to 31-26, and sophomore Denzel Valentine finished an easy lay-in on MSU's next possession to cut the lead to 31-28.
Both teams traded baskets throughout the middle of the second half and Columbia maintained its lead.
But a Dawson put-back tied the game 44-44 with 10:06 to play, and it seemed to spark an MSU comeback as Harris' floater gave the Spartans the lead a few minutes later.
"I thought when we really needed to get some buckets, we did run some stuff nice," Izzo said. "We executed pretty good when we really needed to, which shows you that you can if you want to."
Columbia's Meiko Lyles tied the game 51-51 with six minutes to play, Payne's dominating inside play sealed the deal for the Spartans one possession later, after a towering dunk from a lob pass by Appling.
"It was just a matter of me trying to find a way to keep us in the game," Payne said. "Keith did a great job of penetrating the zone and finding me."
While he finished with only three points and six assists after a career game against Kentucky, Appling was instrumental in the Spartan's comeback, assisting on two of Payne's three dunks in the final seven minutes.
Michigan State's cause was helped by the Spartans' student section, which purposefully counted down the shot clock incorrectly with three minutes to play, making Columbia commit back-to-back shot-clock violations when the Lions were trailing by two.
"When that happened I almost got up and thanked them," Izzo said. "But I didn't want to embarrass anybody."
Harris was MSU's second-leading scorer with 11 points. Columbia's Maodo Lo finished with a team-high 12 points.
For the first time since the 2008 season, Michigan State didn't hit a 3-pointer, going 0 for 7 on the night.
"I'm just disappointed in some of the decisions that some pretty intelligent basketball players made tonight," Izzo said.
MSU will look to rebound from the near loss when it hosts Portland at 7 p.m. Monday in another Coaches vs. Cancer Classic matchup.
"We have to make sure we come in and everyone is ready to go," Appling said. "If we continue this way, our season won't go the way we want it to, and coach is not going to be happy.
"Every great team plays to get better each and every night, and that's something that we just didn't do tonight. And it can't happen again."

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
Obviously this would fall into a form of neopaganism, which I myself am a neopagan.
I was thinking how crazy those people must seem to others, and how would you describe that religion to others?
I also started thinking if just simply making up a religion like that is a bad thing? I mean if the people follow good morals and treat everybody nice, don't cause trouble, believe in good and right things to do, is it really such a bad thing?
Let's not forget on Family Guy when Peter made up a religion to worship the Fonz. He was preaching honesty and loyalty and etc. Was that wrong to do?
Would love to hear some discussion about this
DarkContractor 4 years ago#2
this is kinda off topic, but back when I was an atheist if an evangelist came bothering me, I just would tell them I believe in Bloop (that enigmatic sound in the ocean back in '96). they generally didn't know what Bloop is, so then we get sidetracked into a discussion about Bloop and then they ultimately forget that they were gonna preach to me 8D
thats how it worked in theory anyways <_<

It would entirely depend upon the motivation of the person. Why would it be bad in and of itself?
One of the oldest surviving religions was supposed to have been made up by a man, after all (Buddhism).

lol, that actually made me laugh.
But what I mean is people like christians for example, have history to draw from. We know Rome was around, we know certain things in the bible DID in fact happen, reguardless of if the bibles method is correct, like sodom and gamorra, walls of jerico, etc.
For the elder scrolls however, there is no real religion based around the teachings of the nine divine, whereas there is a religion based around the teachings of Jesus.
Someone just simply took the lessons and morals taught within the elder scrolls and has applied it to real life
Basically, assuming gods and goddesses do exist, there is literally no way these specific gods could, because they have come from a video game.

Like I said in my OP, if the person was teaching good things and moral values.
Like if I made up a religion based around the teachings of Batman, I would teach that Batman is a great hero to gotham city and always told the truth. Would that be so wrong?

Simon_Isturiz posted...A made up religion?
Then all you're really saying is that the only advantage mainstream religions have is simply the institutionalizing power of time.
Not to say that it doesn't make a great deal of sense, because it does. But that doesn't make mainstream religions anymore "real" than a Skyrim based one. Both religions are equally devoid of evidence. The early Christian cults were unbelievable for Roman society for their time as well.
Vexu192 posted...
So I recently discovered there are people out there who follow and worship the gods and deadra featured in the Elder Scrolls series of games.
To those who already believe in a religion, yeah it would be wrong but if one wanted to create a religion to push forward their believes and promote certain things (loyalty, good will, comradeship) then I see no issue.
You don't get a gold star for being less bloody stupid than another bloody stupid person when you are still demonstrably bloody stupid. -the final bahamut

Lots of jab and it does not always have to be power jabs, mix it up with pawing jabs, throw to the body etc. And always be on the balls of your feet so that you can move whenever your opponent moves in.

Just in time for the cooler fall weather and to gear up for the holiday cookfest fast approaching, here's an encore presentation of Food52's Kitchen Basics originally published last year.
Russ Parson's Dry-Brined Turkey [Food52] (photo by James Ransom)
Crisp on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, large cuts of meat like prime rib, leg of lamb, and whole turkey are something worthy of oohs and ahhs. But getting that roast to the table can be an intimidating task, especially since we're not practicing these sorts of recipes on a regular weeknight (or even regular weekend, for that matter). There's no reason to fret -- whether you're looking to hone tried-and-true recipes or it's your first time hosting one of the many big meals, we're here to help.

Bust a Capoeira
For Arizonans, Brazil's independence from Portugal may not be as well known as our own Fourth of July or even Mexican Independence Day (which, contrary to popular belief, is not Cinco de Mayo), but each September thousands gather for a celebration nearly rivaling Carnaval.
Brazilian Day Arizona boasts a crash course in all things Brazil, including demonstrations ranging from Capoeira and Jiu Jitsu to percussion tutorials, Afro Dancing, and an open-to-the-public Samba Queen Contest. Soul samba trio Boca do Rio from Brazil, reggae group Bloco Axe from Los Angeles, and SoChu House's resident DJ Byron Fenix are just a few of the more than 40 performers slated to bring Brazilian beats to the masses.
The celebration is from 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday, September 7, at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 East Second Street. Tickets are $12 for adults, $5 for children. Call 480-499-8587 or visit www.braziliandayarizona.com.
Sat., Sept. 7, 1-6 p.m., 2013
