C Rides
C rides are relaxed, easy rides that are great for new riders looking for a slower pace ride. Typical speeds are 14-17mph.
Wednesday night C rides
If you're not into speeding around and want a relaxed afternoon ride please join our Spacecoast Freewheeler Rockettes for their ~14mile Wednesday night ride along Rockledge Dr. Social hour typically follows after the ride.
Saturday and Sunday Morning C rides
Come on out for a nice leisurely ride along beautiful River Road through Rockledge and Cocoa. The pace of these rides will be somewhat slower than our regular group rides, between 14-17mph. This will be a perfect way for beginners to introduce themselves to the dynamics of riding in a group, and a nice social recovery ride for the roadies out there. Optionally, after the ride we like to get together in Cocoa Village for some coffee. See you all there!
B Rides
B rides are for those looking for a little more speed and distance. Typical speeds are 17-21mph with distances between 14-60miles.
Wednesday night B rides
Ride runs 28miles up and down both Rockledge Blvd. and N. Cocoa Blvd. Social hour typically follows after the ride.
Saturday Morning B rides
Our Saturday morning B ride starts right after the conclusion of our Saturday morning C ride. Many will participate in the 14 mile C ride for a nice leisure warm up. The B ride will continue along N. Cocoa Blvd for 14 miles.
Sunday Morning B rides
The Sunday morning B ride is a nice opportunity to get away to new places. These rides change every week and are chosen from many different routes with different starting locations. See the ride schedule for more details.
A Rides
There are no truly scheduled A rides. However, many of our stronger rides may form up during the beginning of the B rides and ride off the front to challenge themselves at an "A" pace. Anyone participating at these speeds should be well versed in riding rules, etiquette, and skills. Those with less knowledge should expect to receive guidance from more skilled riders. Typical speeds are 21+ mph.

How does atherosclerosis cause disease?
There are two ways atherosclerosis causes disease; 1) atherosclerosis can limit the ability of the narrowed arteries to increase delivery of blood and oxygen to tissues during periods of increased oxygen demand such as during exertion, or 2) complete obstruction of an artery by a thrombus or embolus (thrombus and embolus are forms of blood clots; see below) resulting in tissue necrosis (death of tissue). Exertional angina and intermittent claudication are two examples of insufficient delivery of blood and oxygen to meet tissue demand; whereas strokes and heart attacks are examples of death of tissue caused by complete artery obstruction by blood clots.
There are many similarities between coronary artery diseases (atherosclerosis involving the arteries of the heart) and peripheral artery disease, and the two conditions may coexist in the same individual. For example, patients with exertional angina typically have no symptoms at rest. But during exertion the critically narrowed coronary arteries are incapable of increasing blood and oxygen delivery to meet the increased oxygen needs of the heart muscles. Lack of blood and oxygen causes chest pain (exertional angina). Exertional angina typically subsides when the patient rests. In patients with intermittent claudication, the narrowed arteries in the lower extremities (for example, a narrowed artery at the groin) cannot increase blood and oxygen delivery to the calf muscles during walking. These patients experience pain in the calf muscles that will only subside after resting.
Patients with unstable angina have critically narrowed coronary arteries that cannot deliver enough blood and oxygen to the heart muscle even at rest. These patients have chest pain at rest and are at imminent risk of developing heart attacks. Patients with severe artery occlusion in the legs can develop rest pain (usually in the feet). Rest pain represents such severe occlusion that there is insufficient blood supply to the feet even at rest. They are at risk of developing foot ulcers and gangrene.
When the arteries are narrowed as a result of atherosclerosis, blood tends to clot in the narrowed areas, forming a so-called thrombus (plural thrombi). Sometimes pieces of the thrombi break off and travel in the bloodstream until they are trapped in a narrower point in the artery beyond which they cannot pass. A thrombus or piece of thrombus that travels to another point is called an embolus. Thrombi and emboli can cause sudden and complete artery blockage, leading to tissue necrosis (death of tissue due to lack of oxygen).
For example, complete blockage of a coronary artery by a thrombus causes heart attack, while complete blockage of a carotid or cerebral artery causes ischemic stroke. Emboli originating from atherosclerosis in the aorta (the main artery delivering blood to the body) can obstruct small arteries in the feet, resulting in painful and blue (cyanotic) toes, foot ulcers, and even gangrene.
What are collateral vessels or collateral circulation?
Sometimes, despite the presence of a severe blockage in an artery, the involved area does not become painful or lose its blood supply due to the presence of collateral vessels. Collateral circulation means that the particular area is supplied by more than one artery, so that that blockage of a single vessel does not result in a severe degree of blood loss. Collateral circulation can develop over time to help provide oxygenated blood to an area where an artery is narrowed. Doctors believe that regular supervised exercise can stimulate the growth and development of collateral circulation and relieve symptoms of intermittent claudication.
What are the other causes of peripheral vascular diseases (PVD)?
A number of conditions such as vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels, occurring either as a primary condition or associated with connective tissue diseases such as lupus) may cause damage to blood vessels throughout the body. Injuries to blood vessels (from accidents such as auto accidents or sports injuries), blood-clotting disorders, and damage to blood vessels during surgery can also lead to inadequate blood supply to body tissues (ischemia).
Tissue ischemia can also occur in the absence of atherosclerosis or other abnormalities of arteries. One example of a condition in which the blood vessels themselves are not damaged is Raynaud's disease, which is believed to occur due to spasms in blood vessels brought on by stress or a cold environment.
Since atherosclerosis of the peripheral arteries (PAD) is by far the most common cause of peripheral vascular disease, the rest of this article focuses upon peripheral artery disease.

Gurgaon, July 14: A doctor has been arrested for allegedly raping a nurse on pretext of marrying her, police said on Thursday.
Both the accused and the victim worked at a private city hospital.
An FIR was registered a few months back by the nurse alleging doctor Girish Ojha had sexually assaulted her.
"Ojha raped me for long time on pretext of marrying me but now he refused to marry," the victim said in her complaint registered at the Women's Police Station.
"The doctor was absconding after the complaint, and he has been arrested from Allahabad. We are grilling him after getting him on three days police remand," said a senior police officer.

Now Within: The Exclusive Worldwide VR Premiere of OneRepublic's Hit Single "KIDS"
OneRepublic's brand new VR experience just dropped and the exclusive worldwide premiere is available today only on the Within app. The VR premiere features OneRepublic's hit single "KIDS" from their upcoming album "Oh My My" set to be released on October 7th.
With "KIDS", the band explores new sounds and methods of interacting with fans. According to frontman Ryan Tedder, "Virtual reality is something that's incredibly interesting to us. We're excited to be able to give our fans a way to step inside our music and live in our latest single."
Hal Kirkland, director of the 3D music video, orchestrates a true feat of immersive filmmaking; shooting the VR version in one take with the Nokia OZO camera. His uninterrupted approach lets the story unfold naturally and draws on universal feelings of love, curiosity and youthful uncertainty. Viewers "living in the single" remember their own memories of youth while sharing the emotions of characters in the music video.
In VR, nostalgia flows not only from the visual content, but also through the music itself. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Tedder confirmed that single "KIDS" is a "conscious departure" from their regular sound inspired by the '80s pop-synth style of M83 and other contemporary acts.
The OneRepublic VR Experience, produced by Here Be Dragons, was made possible through a partnership between UMG, Interscope Records, OneRepublic and Nokia. Download the Within app now to experience it for yourself today.

It's fast becoming a big day for the phone carrier Sprint out of the US as they continue to push out significant updates across several of their smartphones. None is bigger than the Galaxy S5 though, as it starts to see a new version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware arriving OTA to give users the long-awaited WiFi calling feature.
While the users will be happy to see the welcomes addition, it's not the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update that many had hoped for just like with the other phone we just finished covering in the LG G Flex. As I already mentioned in that post, the information is scarce, so we don't know what Sprint's plans are exactly heading into the future. I doubt we'll see 4.4.4 skipped and a jump to the Android L like some are suggesting. Yes, it is happening with the 4.4.3, but it's doubtful that they will finish at 4.4.2 for the chocolate software.
Keep a close eye on your notification tray as the alert for the new update will roll in anytime between now and a week or two from now. The new software version will stay inside of the USA because it is only for Sprint, but the S5 is a very popular handset that many people own. While we expect eventual rollout times to dramatically drop compared to what we would see from a world-wide release, it will still be longer than the one just reviewed for the G Flex that was finishing up on the 16th of July. The Sammy team hasn't issued exact dates, but from my experience it will at least stretch until the 20th of the lucky last customers.
The new software, namely G900PVPU1ANE5 arrives to address the WiFi calling demands that so many S5 smartphones missed out on earlier in the year. It has left some people underwhelmed and not satisfied at all as they believe there was more work to be done here. Some people were expecting Bluetooth fixes for the car kits, but the representative assures us there is no such issue in the US, and all alleged bugs are more likely found in the international version, which isn't related to the American S5 at all.
After installing the new software version, users will have WiFi calls available over WiFi networks. In addition to this, people can also send SMS texts from the Android-based mobile to friends and family over the same network. Sprint started using the WiFi calling close to when the Galaxy S5 was releasing, but not in time to see it come out of the box. The carrier did rollout the feature to some handsets then, and additionally select few afterwards, but it isn't until now that a dedicated software update has targeted the S5 owners.

To my dearest Kaia, I know you long for the letters to make sense, to unite themselves and speak to you. I know each syllable is a battle for you and I see you fighting. By the time you are able to read this well, you will have won the battle. You will have put in the hours of tracing your finger along the page and sounding out each painstaking phonics rule with your brows knit tight and the corner of your lower lip tucked between your teeth.

You Are Beautiful, My Child, and So Am I
You pull the mirror up close. And I watch you seeing yourself. You're balancing the eyeshadow brush above your lid, hovering mid-air while you close one eye and when the color touches down you blend it back and forth like a windshield wiper. Like I taught you. You pull back and take in the full picture. One lid is beginning to look smoky, the kind of look you might wear in your 20's if you were going out for an evening or in your 30's on a special date night, while the other is still the eye of my baby girl. It's bare and beautiful. The eyes that dream up ways to make a better fort and read all the Harry Potter Books, the eyes that tell me I look beautiful when I'm getting ready for a date night with your dad or when I'm bare-faced making pancakes on a Saturday morning. You watch me too. I know this. We play with colors and smokey eyes and bright red lipstick and then we lean over the ... [Read More]
Finding Soul Rest in the Midst of Motherhood
I want to crack the stiff spine and read a gorgeous book with language so lovely I have to say the words aloud and let them roll off my tongue, dripping like a whispered veil over my solitude. I want to sip hot tea after dunking a fragrant woven satchel into the steaming water, cupping the delicate mug in my lips like a kiss. I want to leave a voweled O on the rim in lipstick so red it tastes like ripe pomegranate and I find myself dreaming of hammocks and sunshine and the gentle sway of California poppies dancing in the breeze. I'm beginning to dream again. To see beauty resting in moments that look nothing like those desires. The solitude, the quiet, the pristine moments where I believe I'll find rest. While those are beautiful, I think I've sold myself short because I haven't chosen rest in the midst of my normal life. Rest is an elusive beast, a mythology based on forested paths ... [Read More]
An Open Letter to the Abundance
Day #11 An Open Letter to the Abundance I carry weariness in my bones like a knowing. A burden of exhaustion born of late nights and sickness beckoning with every sneeze and cough and runny nose I wipe. I press my hand across his forehead to feel for fever when he appears in the darkness I finally found nestled in my pillow, my legs slipping bare to the coolest spot and stilling there to rest. It feels like I'm grasping at moments of sleep and I'm dragging myself back from the brink to make room, I shift over and lift the covers and he presses his body into mine, curling up tight under my ribs and we're breathing together, his nose stuffed up and wheezing. I press my lips to the top of his hair and whisper prayers for a healthy body. We've been worried about him. We don't have answers yet for why he keeps getting nauseous, why he keeps throwing up week after week. My last thoughts ... [Read More]
An Open Letter to the Hard Surrender
Day #6 An Open Letter to the Hard Surrender The google hangout ended and I was still smiling because I love chatting with friends and it was fun to catch up across states and time zones and busy lives. My friend Lisa Jo had invited Kristen Strong and I to participate in her book club for Surprised by Motherhood and I love her, her words ,and her heart for mamas so I readily agreed. I have the pages scratched up with notes and underlines and dog-eared pages where I mark my place. My books are never pristine. They are always well-worn, well-loved, and often coffee stained. I firmly believe books should be like your favorite t-shirt, possibly threadbare but well lived in. We chatted and I believe every word I said about seasons and motherhood and recognizing and calling out the things I see in my children much like Lisa Jo did for her children. She needed to fall in like with her ... [Read More]

TP Link Router how to set password etc.
Morning all,
I would like some help in setting up security on my router.
Whilst being reasonably PC savvy, routers and wireless are a mystery.
XP Home SP3. In the UK. ( I mention that as the address on the router is USA.)
Below are some screen shots of the present router set up which even I can see is non existent!
Below are six screen shots and would like to know what I must, or preferably, change.
( Why the top line is in smaller print I don't know. Happened after spacing down a line.)
P>S. Wireless is 'disabled' in all but the last link.
muddypaws - there is a good guide here you might want to work your way through enter link description here Hope it helps.
Been out for a few hours.
Both of those links are 'server not found'.
I am working through a couple of other sites at the moment so will come back later.
muddypaws, what is it you're trying to achieve exactly? Your second from last screenshot (Diagnostics) shows that the broadband connection is setup and working correctly so is it just the wireless part you need help with configuring?
Not bought from the UK market obviously by your first link. Set to enable wireless and UK, then SSID (your router).
Second link,
Qss link enabled.
Manual Setup AP,
WPA personal(best/recommended)
Type your router's key.
WPA Encryption, AES.
All I am trying to do is secure the wirelees with a password. Simple enough for most!!
At present I just enable wireless as and when for a few minutes. ( PC is connected by cable)
I can see there are 5 protected networks in the vicinity of my bungalow.
I assume mine isn't.
From what I have read SSID should be changed to any other name and remember it.
You don't mention a password in your post.
Can I not just add a password without changing anything else?
Have tried your suggestions and the Kindle refuses to connect.
"Secret-Squirrel - All I am trying to do is secure the wirelees with a password. Simple enough for most!!"
Thanks for that - it was your "WAN Configurations" screenshot that made me uncertain. If your Internet connection is fine then that section does not need any configuring.
Here's what you need to do to get your wireless properly configured:
1) As mentioned by rdave, in your first screenshot (Wireless - Basic), ensure that only Enable Wireless is ticked and the country is United Kingdom. The SSID section is where you enter the name you'd like to call your wireless network - you can leave it as "TP" or choose something different such as "muddypaws". When you've done all that, click the Apply/Save button.
2) In the Wireless - Security section, click the Network Authentication drop-down list-box and choose the bottom option Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK Personal (Adaptive) - that will give you strong security but also allow older wireless devices to connect. If however all your wireless devices are modern then you can choose WPA2-PSK.
In the Wireless Network Key section, type the password you'd like to use to secure your wireless network - it can be anything you want, but for the strongest security, ensure its length is at least nine characters and contains a mix of upper and lowercase letters and at least one number. When you're all done there, click the Apply/Save button.
Make a note of the SSID and password you chose as you'll need those details to get your Kindle or laptop connected.
Good luck.
Two links to show my setup. First shows SSID (router name broadcasted) and second shows security setup.
So SSID name to broadcast the router (so you know you're connecting to the right network, and the network security key for it. Mine is set for WPA2-Personal as in second link. Information you need to connect to that network.
However only the second link works! but will copy your set up.
So if my Kindle doesn't connect and requires a network name to be entered what do I enter?
The TPLink site states:
Quick Secure Setup
'To setup their network's security encryption, users need simply to press the "QSS" button on their TD-W8960N, then push the "QSS" button or enter the router's PIN Code in the wireless client, and it will automatically establish a WPA secure connection. Not only is this faster than normal security setups but more convenient in that users don't need to remember a password!'
Is that sufficient in your opinion as the Kindle connects with that.
Appreciate your time.

This article was published on the National Steeplechase Association website on February 1, 2016
Coming off a record-breaking year, the National Steeplechase Association will offer a spring racing season with $2.6-million in purses.
Highlighting the spring season will be the $200,000 Calvin Houghland Iroquois (Gr. 1), whose purse was increased $50,000 from 2015. The three-mile feature of Nashville's Iroquois Steeplechase is the spring's only Grade 1 race and annually attracts the sport's top competitors.
The Calvin Houghland Iroquois on May 14 will be the American leg of the Brown Advisory Cheltenham Iroquois Challenge, which offers a $500,000 bonus to any horse that can win the Nashville race and the World Hurdle within 12 months. The World Hurdle is a feature of the Cheltenham Festival and will be run on March 17.
Two highlights of the spring timber-racing season will reach new heights when both the Maryland Hunt Cup and the Virginia Gold Cup will offer record $100,000 purses. The Virginia Gold Cup meet on May 7 also will feature the $75,000 David Semmes Memorial (Gr. 2), and a $50,000 turf stakes race, the Secretariat, on a race-day program with $445,000 in purses.
The historic Hunt Cup will be increased by $25,000 for its 120th running on April 30. The testing four-mile race caps the Maryland timber triple crown, which begins April 16 with the $30,000 My Lady's Manor in Monkton and continues the following week with the $30,000 Grand National at Butler.
The racing season begins March 26 with the traditional kickoff at the Aiken Spring Steeplechase. The National Steeplechase Association inaugurated a popular new race in 2015, the Ratings Handicap, and the South Carolina meet will include a two-mile Ratings Handicap as well as a featured $30,000 optional allowance hurdle.
A week later, the sport's rising stars will be on display in the $75,000 Carolina Cup for novices, or horses in their first seasons of racing over fences. One of the most popular stops on the NSA circuit, the Carolina Cup regularly attracts crowds exceeding 60,000.
Other novice stakes on the spring schedule are the $75,000 Queen's Cup MPC 'Chase at the Queen's Cup Steeplechase near Charlotte, N.C., on April 30 and the $75,000 Marcellus Frost Novice Stakes at Iroquois. The Nashville meet features the spring's richest purses at $450,000 and also will offer the $50,000 Margaret Currey Henley for fillies and mares.
On tap for the spring season are two Grade 3 races, the $50,000 Temple Gwathmey at the Middleburg Spring Races on April 23 and the $50,000 National Hunt Cup at the Radnor Hunt Races in Pennsylvania on May 21.
The spring schedule wraps up a week later at the popular Fair Hill Races in northern Maryland. Fair Hill will offer a $45,000 Ratings Handicap, the Valentine Memorial. Also offering Ratings Handicaps are the Stoneybrook Steeplechase on April 9, Middleburg Spring, the Queen's Cup, and Radnor.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German fashion house Hugo Boss BOSG_p.DE confirmed its outlook for 2011 as it reported forecast-beating third-quarter results on Thursday, adding to signs the premium and luxury sector has not yet been hit by the global economic slowdown.
"We are very confident that we will reach our sales and earnings forecast for the year as a whole," Chief Executive Claus-Dietrich Lahrs said in a statement on Wednesday, adding this was based on strong growth in China and the United States.
Concerns that soaring demand for luxury goods over the last year will wane as the global economic slowdown bites even wealthy customers hit luxury stocks in late September and early October.
However, groups such as LVMH (LVMH.PA), Burberry (BRBY.L), and Gucci owner PPR (PRTP.PA) have since said they were not seeing a slowdown.
Hugo Boss, known predominantly for its sharp suits, is aiming to grow sales by between 15 and 17 percent on a currency neutral basis and core operating profit by between 25 and 30 percent for 2011 as a whole.
The group, majority owned by private equity investor Permira, reported an 18 percent rise in third-quarter earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and special items to 177 million euros ($242 million).
It also reported EBIT of 159.7 million euros and sales up 16 percent on a currency neutral basis to 615 million, ahead of the average analyst forecasts for 148 million euros and 597 million in a Reuters poll.
($1 = 0.731 Euros)

Lux Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey there and welcome to my guide to Lux. Lux was one of my very first champion I bought. I started experimentating with builds and finally found one that works best for me. So, I would like to share it with you.
If you find any mistakes in my guide or something to improve feel free to tell me. I'm happy about any comments.
Who is Lux?
Who is Lux? This is the final question you need to ask yourself before you start playimg her. Lux is able to deal a good amount of damage having a large range. In addition to that she she is able to support your team what can make the difference between victory or defeat. Actually Lux is not easy to play and you will need to practice. I always call her Morgana's little sister and they are pretty similar while Morgana is more a nuker and Lux more support.
I'm playing Lux AP/CDR, as i think it's the only way to play her. Many people are saying you don't need to build in CDR as you can take blue buff when possible. This is just wrong.
At first: Lux need's cooldown reduction. Her skills got a large recharge so you will be able to use her only once in a team fight. In addition to that you will do hard in farming, harassing or escaping. With 40% CDR your ultimate just got a cooldown of 24 seconds. That's amazing!
What about blue buff? Be realistic. You won't be able to have it all the time. Enemies could steal it and you will loose time while getting it. In addition to that there might be people in your team that will need blue buff as well. As Lux got no trouble in getting CDR without blue buff you shouldn't be ignorant and let somebody get that buff who needs it more.
PS: Yes, this build will actually get more than 40% CDR and I know that's the limit. But please notice that you will only buy that elixir when your build is finished and you don't know what to do with your money...
To sum it all up...
+ amazing range and ultimate with even more range
+ good amount of damage
+ stun and slow
+ support
+ great team player
- squishy early game
- mana problems early game if you don't care
- having trouble in mid against people with heal
For Runes i choose:
CDR: just a must have on Lux. Even early game - when you don't got your items yet - it's very useful.
Magic regeneration: Lux can get mana problems quite fast if you don't care.
Mana regeneration: You are a caster...
Masteries + Summoner Spells
9-0-21 is pretty standard on Lux. Remember to fix your masteries when you take other summoner spells.
Almost a must have when playing mid. Helps to get life and mana if you need it, buying items without lose of experience, ganking enemies, helping your teammates, pushing or defending a tower. It just got a lot of uses.
Very useful on Lux. Anyway it's great to have one in your team. But on Lux it's even better than on most other champions. It helps you to scout for low enemies to place your ultimate.
Great for escape or harass. Not a lot to say about that.
Another defensive spell, anyway I prefer Flash...
Not the best choices:
You will only need this early game, so just play careful.
Maybe not the worst choice but you won't really need it.
Any other:
just no...
As it doesn't deal as much damage as Morgana's stun it is able to hit 2 enemies. This is just a great skill for any occasion. Stun enemies to escape, to harass, to deal some damage, to help your team mates...
You are going to level this last because the stun duration is maximazed on level 1. Anyway putting one point on it in the beginning of the game can save your life or first blood.
A shield that is able to support your whole team 2 times by only using it once. This is just amazing. Anyway it needs some practice when your teammates keep moving. Use it before and during team fights while trying to catch as many people as possible.
This is your main farming and damage ability. So you are leveling this first. Try to get all creeps and then one-hit them thanks to your passive. Don't forget about its snare.
Finales Funkeln
This is the ability that seperates good from bad Lux players. You will need to practice a lot to place this right. You need to get a feeling how long it takes to load the laser and where you enemy will be at this team. The range of this utility is amazing so you can get escaping enemies on low life pretty easy. Thanks to its low cooldown in mid-late game you can also use it to kill creeps when you are not in range, fearing enemies away from a tower when you are distant from it or in the beginning of a team fight... it will be ready again after it to kill some cowards. Remember your enemy knows when you are using this.
By the way, have you actually noticed that her ultimate got a German name? In English it would mean something like Final Sparkle.
Starter item:
If you are new to Lux you might start with a as it gives you everything you need. But remember this will slow you from building your core build.
I usually start with as it builds towards your core build.
The above item list is just a suggestion. You might change it according the enemy team composition. As well the order of items might be changed in some cases.
I originally bought Morellos Evil Tome as a first item on Lux. CDR, Ability Power and some Mana Regeneration is everything you need in early game. After adding Archangel's Staff you really need to go for Tear of the Goddess to stack you mana pool as early as possible.
Following with boots and Rode of Ages you will be doing good in mid game having some more life and no more mana problems at all. Soul Shroud will bring you to 40% CDR. As well it will support your whole team. This item is just great. Rabaddons finishs your core build. You will have a large amount of AP and a lot of life. Now you are almost unstoppable.
Defensive items:
Don't, just don't. Lux should be played carefully. If you use her long range abilities you won't get a lot of damage anyway and enemies will do hard trying to focus you. With your great amount of life you aren't squishy anymore anyway.
Well, if you are facing a very caster heavy team you might go for .
Another option would be .
If you are facing a very melee heaving team you can kick Soul Shroud for . Anyway, upgrade it to Frozen Heart at last as you won't be in range anyway!
Any other options:
if you are sure you will be doing well.
if you got many casters in your team.
only if you get focused a lot.
a good item early game if you lack money.
a good amount of AP and some life. The slow is good for your E and R (long range slow ftw)
Items not to buy:
Any items that need a close range. This includes items like .
If you don't like Soul Shroud go for Ionic Boots and buy a for magic penetration.
Playing Lux
The most important thing about Lux is to use your long range. Always stay behind your creep waves, don't push at first in any team fight. Be ready to use your stun. It can save your life.
Lux is great for playing mid lane. She is able to push against most other champions. Actually there are champions you should avoid to play against on a solo lane. This are mostly champions that are able to heal (because you won't be able to kick them) or long range as well.
In lane farm creeps with your Singularity. Try to hit your oppenent to lower his health. If your mana pool is fine you can do some little spikes with
+ Auto hit + + Auto hit
This will deal a very good amount of damage. If the enemie's health is low enough or you got enough mana and some good CDR you can finish off your combo with Finales Funkeln. If your enemy got no constant heal (that's why you should play against those champions) you will be able to kill him/her many times.
Finally, I hope you enjoyed this guide. I would be happy about any comments. Tell me if this guide helped you. Tell me if you got any criticism. There is nothing being more frustrating than spending a lot of time in a guide when you got no comments at all.
So far,
Greetings ~ Ssyrak

Party nods sought in Brookhaven Town race
Suffolk County Legis. Tom Muratore is going after the Republican nomination for Brookhaven highway superintendent in a big way.
The day after Thanksgiving, the Ronkonkoma Republican mailed 2,000 invitations to a $200-a-head fundraiser Dec. 12 to raise $100,000 for the politically potent town post.
"I really want the job and I think I can do what needs to be done," said Muratore, 67, saying he would seek to use new technology and smart growth methods to increase efficiency.
What makes Muratore's aggressive bid unusual is that it comes more than a month before Democratic incumbent John Rouse exits to become a county court judge, and Muratore sent out his mailing even before Brookhaven GOP officials set a date to screen potential contenders. Screening begins Monday.
While not raising money, Assemb. Dan Losquadro (R-Shoreham) is just as interested in the highway job, though he has yet to serve a day of his second term to which he was elected last month. "What put it over the top for me was the storm and how important the highway job is to returning things to normalcy," said Losquadro, 40, noting his family has long been in the construction business and he worked as a laborer while in college.
Democrats tomorrow will screen Patchogue Mayor Paul Pontieri and Brookhaven Town board member Connie Kepert. Party officials also will interview Kevin Gleason, head of the Huntington Town highway union and president of the Eastport-South Manor school board, and Peter Zarcone, state political director for Laborers' Local 66 and a member of Brookhaven's planning board and the Suffolk Industrial Development Agency board.
"It's a fantastic field," said Marc Alessi, town Democratic chairman and a former state assemblyman.
Officials in both parties say the top highway job -- especially in Suffolk's largest town -- is a powerful base with an army of patronage workers and millions of dollars in paving and snow-removal contracts to dole out. Three years remain in the superintendent's term.
The late Harold Malkmes wielded huge political influence during his three-decade reign at the highway helm. His protege the late John Powell rose from the payloader to become town and county GOP boss until his downfall. And Rouse's 2001 ascent helped spur later town Democratic town board and supervisor victories. A Democratic loss could jeopardize party's chances to remain an effective counter-balance the new GOP town board majority.
The leading GOP contenders both are battle-tested. Losquadro defeated Alessi for an Assembly seat in an upset in 2010. Previously, Losquadro had served seven years as a county lawmaker. Muratore, a 35-year police veteran and former Police Benevolent Association official, unseated Democratic Legis. Brian Beedenbender in 2009.
Other Republican contenders include GOP town board member Dan Panico, though the party may be reluctant to jeopardize its solid board majority. Assemb. Dean Murray, popular in GOP ranks, also is in the field. He was defeated recently in his newly redrawn district.
John Jay LaValle, Suffolk GOP chairman backs Losquadro. LaValle said Losquadro's election "would be a great thing for Brookhaven." LaValle added that he is trying to bring back a GOP majority in the county legislature, and "wouldn't want to lose a guy like Tom Muratore."
Brookhaven GOP chairman Jesse Garcia, whose relations with LaValle have been strained, said he is "keeping a very open mind" and plans to do polling before picking a nominee by mid-December.
GOP town board member Kathy Walsh on Facebook expressed interest in running for the highway job, but many Republicans are wary because of her past alliance with former Democratic Supervisor Mark Lesko. Conservatives are also angry at Walsh because her husband, William, a Civil Service Employees Association leader, once waged a bitter primary campaign against Conservative town board member Jane Bonner.
Walsh, 53, of Centereach, said she hopes the past "fury will die down." She cites her seven years of experience on the town board and noted that her father once was a highway worker. Walsh got Democratic cross-endorsement last year for town board. Asked whether she would consider running on the Democratic line for highway chief, she said, "I'm not speaking to anyone but the Republican leadership at this time."
Alessi said that although Walsh has not reached out to him, he "would be amenable" to letting her screen for the Democratic nomination. Alessi's wife, Gretchen Penn, does political work for CSEA.
"It's not the party that is important but the person and whether they can do the job," said Alessi.
Richard Schaffer, Suffolk Democratic chairman, said Republicans have an enrollment edge. But he argued that Democrats have a strong shot at a highway job because the party can get supporters out in low-turnout special elections. "If you have any doubt, just ask Mazzei," he said, referring to town board member Timothy Mazzei's loss to Lesko in 2009.

Beware the "Don't-Binge-Eat" Diet
If you've been following my blog for a while, you've probably heard me talk about the trap of the "Don't-Eat-Emotionally Diet" or the "Hunger-and-Fullness Diet"—wherein we misguidedly use our hunger signals to define strict boundaries around food, rather than looking to our hunger cues for information about our bodies' needs. More on this here.
You may have also heard me reference the trap of the "Love-Yourself-to-Lose-Weight Diet," or the "New-Age-Thinking-Will-Make-Me-Thin Diet," wherein we pursue body love or improved mental health for the purpose of weight loss, rather than for the intrinsic rewards brought to us by these endeavors. Unsurprisingly, this does not usually work long-term, for reasons I explain here.
Today I want to discuss another "diet trap" that ironically keeps women in this painful cycle—
I call it,
"The Don't-Binge-Eat Diet,"
…where we walk on egg shells, trying not to eat "too much," or resist particular urges with food…for fear of…"the B-word!"
…where we berate ourselves for eating certain amounts of food, or try to control amounts of food through will power / self-control.
…where we define binge-eating by amounts of food, (instead of eating in response to deprivation), and perpetuate our fear of deprivation by moralizing those amounts. More on this here.
…where we avoid eating in a way that we believe to be "abnormal," rather than connecting with our authentic desires, and staying true to ourselves.
Now, you've probably already figured out that the "Don't-Binge-Eat Diet" doesn't usually work that well long-term.
Because binge-eating is a reflexive, psychobiological response to dieting and diet-mentality—and by definition, cannot be healed through diet-mentality.
Trying to avoid eating in any particular way that we think is "wrong" (whether that be types of food, amounts of food, or whatever your "thing to avoid" may be) is itself a restrictive behavior—
the grand irony of course being, that trying "not to binge" is a variant of the exact same restrictive thinking that triggers reactive eating (i.e. bingeing) to begin with.
Instead of defining what you consider to be "normal behavior" and trying to emulate that behavior by force,
let's focus on challenging your underlying diet mentality—including your assumptions and beliefs about "what's right" or "normal" with food—while allowing your authentic desires around food to unfold without force, interference, or other cause of rebellion.
Let's focus our efforts on meeting our true needs around food, instead of trying to shut out what we don't deem "acceptable."

Next Monday, the North Clare Historical Society hosts an intriguingly titled talk by Pádraig Ó Héalaí on 'Tying the Knot: Aspects of Marriage Customs and Beliefs in Irish Folk Tradition'.
"The ring in the barmbrack is not supported by any religious, educational or other system," says Dr Ó Héalaí. Rather, it is a mechanism devised by society to sustain itself and help the individual go through life.
The former senior lecturer in Irish at National University of Ireland Galway will also speak about the changed nature of marriage.
Right down to the middle of the 20th century, marriage was not seen as the ultimate expression of romantic love but rather as a practical arrangement between two families.
By extension, those without the same "encumbrance" of wealth, e.g. servants, labourers or craftsmen, may have been more likely to marry for love. Venue is the Courthouse Gallery, Ennistymon.

The previous shows seemed to be watered down to me. Too much emphasis on food and not enough on culture. I like when Tony searches out those off the beaten path areas of a country and he definitely did that here.
This was also the all important return of the Snarky Tony that I really missed! With the exception of the "bat cave" in Jamaica, Tony has just been too "happy happy joy joy"!
And despite a lot of flack I've read about Zamir being Tony's guide I think he was perfect and was thrilled to have him along, bad back and all!
Seems to me, when things don't go exactly as they should on the show, that's what makes the show special. So this show was very, very special!

Live Commentary
Goal.com's correspondent, Joe Doyle: "Fulham leave the pitch to a great reception from the fans after a fine comeback in the second half. It looked for all the world that City would be taking all three points when Aguero scored his second, but great credit due to Fulham for the spirit they showed."
Well that was an unexpected scoreline at 46 minutes when Aguero made it 2-0 to City but Fulham came back admirably and they will be thoroughly delighted to have got a point out of this game. Great entertainment and it leaves plenty of thinking time for Mr Mancini.
90' + 2'Toure has a go from 30 yards but it drifts wide and with a minute left it looks as if it will remain 2-2.
89'Fulham still trying to find a winner here as well. This second half really has been a great advert for the Premier League and Fulham have shown plenty of character to get themselves back into this game.
87'SubstitutionMousa Dembele Bryan Ruiz
86'Yellow Card Steve Sidwell
86'Great block from Hangeland. Tevez receives the ball in the area and does brilliantly to find space for a shot but the big Norwegian gets his body in front of it.
84'Fulham contented to sit back with what they have now and try to catch their opponents on the break. Home fans beginning to feel very anxious.
83'SubstitutionSergio Agüero Carlos Tévez
81'SubstitutionSamir Nasri Adam Johnson
81'Can City find some inspiration in the last ten minutes here at Craven Cottage? Both teams must surely go for the points now.
78'For a team with title aspirations, as City have, it will be fascinating to see how the react to this. 15 minutes or so to find a response against a Fulham team very much in the ascendency.
77'Goal.com's correspondent, Joe Doyle: "A deflected Danny Murphy shot and Fulham are level. Joe Hart had no chance with the goal, already going the other way. The Fulham fans are truly enjoying this now, as Mancini stands on the touchline, hands in pockets."
75'Assist Bobby Zamora
75'Goal Danny Murphy
75'GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! My word Roberto Mancini will be absolutely livid with his team. City are irate that a foul wasn't given on Dzeko in the build up to the goal. Zamora swivels on the ball in the area and lays it off for Murphy whose shot is deflected in off Kompany. What a second half this has been.
71'That was some chance. Murphy perfectly finds Riise who makes an excellently timed run but the Norwegian is beaten by the bounce of the ball. He was completely unmarked though.
69'SubstitutionDavid Silva Pablo Zabaleta
69'The Spaniard and his fans sound less than impressed with the decision to pull him off for Zabaleta. A very interesting decision it must be said.
68'Well this is a surprise, Zabaleta is being readied to come on and the man he is to replace will be Silva. Mancini is showing just how worried he is about Fulham's resurgence.
66'Goal.com's man at Craven Cottage, Joe Doyle: "Joe Hart pulling out all the stops here, making good saves from Dembele and Dempsey to keep City in the lead. The home fans are really willing their team on now after a flat first half."
65'City on the rack here now and they are having to withstand some pressure from Fulham. Hart has pulled off another very good save this time from Dempsey who rose highest at the back post.
62'That is a fabulous save from England's number one. Dembele creates some space for himself from 25 yards and his low, rifling shot was heading for the bottom corner but Hart gets across to parry it wide. Great game now.
61'SubstitutionDamien Duff Pajtim Kasami
61'Zamora has probably had more touches in the past five minutes than he had in the previous 55, Fulham really gathering some momentum here.
60'Yellow Card Gareth Barry
59'What a brilliant challenge that is from Micah Richards. Dempsey latches onto a deflected through ball and just as he looks to shoot from seven yards, the England man excellently gets in front of the American and clears the danger. The game is very much alive now.
58'Goal.com's Joe Doyle says: "The home fans have jumped about 20 decibels after that wonderful finish from Bobby Zamora, the first time they've really got at City. Poor marking from Kompany and Richards gave Zamora far too much time on the ball, and the striker made them pay."
56'Assist Clint Dempsey
56'Goal Bobby Zamora
56'GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! Where has that come from? Dembele does well to get the ball to Dempsey on the edge of the area who swivels to find Zamora his first touch takes it out of his feet and then he smashes the ball home into the top corner. Top finish and Fulham are right back in it.
55'Sergio Aguero has now scored six more goals than Fulham in the Premier League this season which says everything about the difference between the two teams.
52'Goal.com's correspondent at Craven Cottage, Joe Doyle: City catch Fulham cold after the re-start, and the City fans are loving it, starting with a rendition of the 'Poznan' dance and finishing with a tongue-in-cheek "We are staying up!" chant
50'Fulham trying to respond and have had a couple of set pieces but City manage to deal with them confidently.
48'What can Fulham do now? Will it be damage limitation or can they get back into it and win a point?
46'Assist Edin Dzeko
46'Goal Sergio Agüero
46'GOOOAAAALLLL!!! Nine seconds, that's all its taken for them to double their score. A long diagonal ball; is played forward to Dzeko who beats Hangeland to ball and nods to Aguero who has acres of space to run into before rifling a shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Really poor from Fulham.
46'A stony-faced Martin Jol comes out of the tunnel along with his team and he will be hoping that his team manages to get hold of the ball more than they did in the first half. City will be hoping for more of the same as they get the game underway.
That is half time and City have, at times, been unplayable with the interplay between Silva and Nasri absolutely mesmerising. Schwarzer has been forced into action too many times for Fulham's liking and they will have to dramatically improve if they are to get anything from this game.
45' + 1'Just one minute of added time here and Fulham look as if they could go into half time still with a glimmer of hope when in reality they should be dead and buried already.
43'City content to keep the ball without much tempo now as the minutes towards the end of the half count down. Dembele and Zamora have been bystanders in this half.
40'Five minutes to go and the tempo of the game has slowed somewhat in the last six or seven minutes. Fulham will welcome some respite after what has been a torrid first half for them.
37'A brief interlude for Fulham here as Yaya Toure gets some treatment on his thigh after receiving some studs from Hangeland.
34'Finally a decent foray into the City half from Fulham, Dempsey receives the ball on the edge of the area and creates half a yard of space before shooting towards goal but Joe Hart is more than equal to the shot.
32'Fulham just cannot get the ball off their opponents at the moment and the gulf in class is absolutely huge. The hosts will be hoping to get through to half time without conceding anymore.
30'Our man at Craven Cottage Joe Doyle says: The home crowd are growing very restless as City beginning to dominate proceedings more and more. Schwarzer is the only thing standing in the way of another goal, making two fine stops since Aguero's opening goal.
27'Another excellent save from Schwarzer. Silva pulls a ball back to Dzeko who hits his left-footed striker towards to top corner only for the keeper to tip it over. City are completely over-running the west Londoners here.
24'Very important touch from Schwarzer twice in the space of a minute. First Aguero pulls a ball back towards the back post with Dzeko waiting to head home but the Australian just gets in front of him to put behind for a corner. From the resultant corner Clichy shoots from the edge of the area and the keeper tips wide. City are dominating here.
21'Fulham really have got a big task on their hands now. On reflection from the replay Aguero did look half a body offside.
18'Assist David Silva
18'Goal Sergio Agüero
18'GOOOOAAAALLLLL! And as soon as they're paid a complement Fulham concede a goal. Silva does brilliantly to control a ball on the edge of the area and then play a through ball for that man Aguero to slot home from 12 yards. Suspicions of offside in the goal but City are up and running.
17'Credit must be given to Fulham for the way they have defended so far, City are being met with a sea of white when they push forward.
14'Still no real chances in the game so far, City continuing to press and find the killer through ball while Fulham are defending diligently for now.
11'The game showing a familiar theme so far with the home side getting ten men behind the ball while City probe away trying to find the correct opening.
8'City have settled into this game very nicely and already Fulham are having to chase shadows. This could be a long afternoon for the league's basement club.
5'Fulham looking to get the ball forward as quickly as possible when in possession while City are willing to keep the ball amongst each other before playing a killer ball.
2'Straight away City looking to get on the ball and pass the ball around quickly and Fulham settling into a system which looks set to try and keep a clean sheet.
1'Fulham get the game underway.
Referee Mark Clattenburg leads the two teams out in front of a sell out crowd with City desperate to keep the pressure on their city rivals United while Fulham will be looking to get past their worst start to a Premier League season.
Fulham will be hoping today's game is not a repeat of the last time they met at Craven Cottage in which Roberto Mancini's men ran riot and won 4-1 with former skipper Carlos Tevez scoring two in the process.
Manchester City arrive in west London this afternoon in red hot form having won their previous four league games so far this season amassing 15 goals in the process including six for new signing Sergio Ageuro. Mancini has shuffled his pack from last week's 3-0 victory of Wigan Athletic making three changes as Samir Nasri, Gareth Barry and Edin Dzeko all return to the starting line up in place of Adam Johnson, James Milner and Carlos Tevez.
Martin Jol's team come into today's game off the back of two consecutive home draws against FC Twente and Blackburn Rovers respectively. Manager Jol has made three changes to last weekend's team with Stephen Kelly, Chris Baird and Moussa Dembele all returning in the place of Philippe Senderos, Aaron Hughes and record signing Bryan Ruiz who struggled to make an impact against Blackburn on his debut.
Man City line up: Hart Richards Kompany Lescott Clichy Barry Nasri Silva Y Toure Dzeko Aguero Substitutes Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kolarov, K Toure, Johnson, Tevez, Balotelli
Fulham line up: Schwarzer Kelly JA Riise Hangeland Baird Sidwell Murphy Duff Dempsey Zamora Dembele Substitutes Etheridge, Senderos, Grygera, Kasami, Gecov, Orlando Sa, Ruiz
Good afternoon football fans and welcome to part two of Goal.com's Sunday football coverage where Roberto Mancini's impressive Manchester City side travel to Craven Cottage to visit a Fulham team still searching for their first win of the Premier League season.

Jean-Eric Vergne
Jean-Eric Vergne is part of the new generation of French drivers on the Formula 1 grid and heading into his third season at the top level.
Last Updated: 05/02/14 12:13pm
Jean-Eric Vergne is part of the new generation of French drivers on the Formula 1 grid and heading into his third season at the top level, his goal will be to make a defining impression after being overlooked by Red Bull in favour of his departing Toro Rosso team-mate Daniel Ricciardo.
Having debuted at the start of 2012, the then 22-year-old rookie frequently struggled in qualifying only to come alive on race day, with four solid eighth-place finishes giving him a higher championship finish than Ricciardo.
That trait was maintained to a lesser extent through 2013, with Vergne's race prowess not as well pronounced but Ricciardo's qualifying advantage far more evident as the young Aussie successfully won his battle against both Vergne and Kimi Raikkonen to replace Mark Webber at Red Bull.
The World Champions softened the blow by highlighting Ricciardo's greater experience as an explanatory factor behind their decision but, heading into 2014, Vergne's F1 career appears to stand on a critical pivot: it's now or never for 'JEV' to prove himself.
Vergne was promoted to an F1 race seat with an impressive junior record, having won the French Formula Renault 2.0 and British Formula Three championships. Much like just about every other F1 driver these days, Vergne started out in karting before moving to the French Formula Renault Campus in 2007 and comfortably winning the title. At the end of the season he became a member of Red Bull's esteemed junior programme at the age of 17.
The following season he competed in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 West European Cup and walked away with the French Formula Renault 2.0 title. Although 2009 failed to yield silverware as he finished second in the Eurocup, he took the step up to the British Formula Three Championship in 2010 and claimed 13 wins for Carlin. Vergne followed in the footsteps of former STR driver Jaime Alguersuari and future team-mate Ricciardo, who won the title in 2008 and 2009 respectively. He also had stints in the GP3 Series and Formula Renault 3.5.
Vergne's first taste of F1 action came at the end of the 2010 season when he took part in the Young Driver Test for Toro Rosso, a run-out that was followed by him being handed the test and reserve role duties for the 2011 season. He took another step forward when he took part in Friday practice sessions in three of the final four races of the year.
After dominating in the double title-winning RB7 during the 2011 Young Driver Test, it was clear that Red Bull had bigger things in mind for the Frenchman and it wasn't too long before he was confirmed as a Toro Rosso driver for 2012.
Although he was bundled out of a debut points finish on the last lap in Melbourne by Ricciardo, he starred next time out at Sepang in the pouring rain, bravely staying out in the downpour on intermediates which laid the platform for a fine eighth-place finish.
But with the team soon falling off the development pace, pressure began to build on Vergne to get out of Q1 on Saturdays - the Frenchman falling at the first hurdle eight times in the 20 races.
Three more points-scoring finishes followed at the end of 2012, but there were just three top-ten results in the entirety of 2013 - and none at all after June's Canadian GP.
Far better is required in 2014 if Vergne's nascent F1 career is to progress to a fourth season.

A vicar from Hull has defended comments in which he compared homosexuality with paedophilia.
The Reverend Melvin Tinker, of St John Newland in Hull, made the comparison during an interview with Minster FM ahead of the recent Gay Pride march in York.
He also said York Minster's support for the event was "absolutely inappropriate".
Thousands of people turned out for the march on June 20. It began at the Minster, where a 15-metre rainbow flag was draped across the steps. Hundreds of other rainbow flags went up across the city on the day.
Explaining his comments to BBC Radio Humberside afterwards, Mr Tinker, who has received a number of abusive emails, suggested that both homosexuality and paedophilia fall into the immoral category.
He also said that the decision of York Minster's Canon Michael Smith to bless the parade was "out of place".
The Hull and East Riding LGBT Christian Fellowship said Mr Tinker's remarks were not representative of all Christians, while Mr Smith stated his colleagues in the church were "perfectly at liberty" to hold such views but "not all of us hold that understanding".

By early '78, Hot Chocolate had been a regular order on the British charts for eight years, but were only around half way through their remarkably consistent chart tenure at home. The song 'Every 1's A Winner' was a slickly produced rock edged, soul-funk gem, with one of the coolest guitar riffs ever, courtesy of Harvey Hinsley. The promo video became one of those lasting images of the late 70s pop music era, with Errol Brown, Patrick Olive and Harvey Hinsley standing tall and imposing at centre frame in the opening bars, as Hinsley blasted out the song's core guitar riff. Brown's distinctive vocals combined with Mickie Most's sublime production to yield, in my view, the best song of Hot Chocolate's career. 'Every 1's A Winner' proved a winner on the charts, racing to #6 in the U.S., for once out pacing sales in Britain (#12) and Australia (#12). The title track became the third top 20 hit to feature on Hot Chocolate's latest album, which notched up solid sales across the board (UK#30/US#31/OZ#31), and introduced a myriad of musical influences to the Hot Chocolate blend, from Bowie, to reggae, to classic Stax/Volt style soul, with Hinsley and Olive both taking a more active role in the song writing stakes.
Hot Chocolate's next charting single was 'I'll Put You Together Again', originally recorded by Pandora and the Correspondents. Hot Chocolate's version debuted on the British charts in December '78 and peaked at #13 in early '79 (OZ#12). The track was significant because it gave Hot Chocolate the singular honour of being the only group to have featured on the British singles charts during every calendar year of the 1970s. The only other artists to have achieved such a rarefied feat were Diana Ross and Elvis Presley, placing Hot Chocolate with some very illustrious company. Though Hot Chocolate had essentially maintained a bent toward the soul/funk side of the musical spectrum, in 1979 they released the album 'Going Through The Motions' (OZ#97/US#112), which saw them catering to the predominant stylistic force in music at that time - disco. Dance-club oriented tracks accounted for a majority of the album, but elements of Hot Chocolate's soulful (and thoughtful) inclinations thankfully still surfaced on the minor hits 'Mindless Boogie' (UK#46), which was essentially a meaningful socio-political commentary put to a disco beat, and 'Going Through The Motions' (UK#53/US#53). In late '79 another 'best of' compilation was released on the British market, and bolted to #3 on the charts in time for Christmas.
No doubt about it, Hot Chocolate, despite a consistent oversight from the music intelligentsia, could rightfully lay claim to being one of the most consistent performers on the British singles charts throughout the 70s, and at the turn of the decade there was every indication that their run of success would continue well into the 80s. Their next single 'No Doubt About It' confirmed Hot Chocolate's status near the top of the charts, when it rocketed to #2 on the British charts (OZ#56), backed by a promo clip which was a tribute to all things extraterrestrial. The track for some reason wasn't included on Hot Chocolate's next album 'Class', which must have been abducted because it went missing from the charts. The album was a curious mix of original material, written by Errol Brown or Russ Ballard, with several covers thrown in, including Elvis Costello's 'Green Shirt' and The Police's 'Walking On The Moon'. 'Class' may not have lived up to the 'high' end of the spectrum, as it spawned only two minor hit singles in 'Are You Getting Enough Of What Makes You Happy' (UK#17 - released in the U.S. as 'Are You Getting Enough Happiness' - #65 - in late '82), and 'Love Me To Sleep' (UK#50).
Hot Chocolate's year to year unbroken run on the charts continued into 1981, albeit only just, with the minor hit single 'You'll Never Be So Strong' (UK#52), but they soon returned to the top 10 in 1982 with the pop-dance number 'Girl Crazy' (UK#7/OZ#9). Hot Chocolate must have been going through a bit of a fitness phase at the time, as the promo video saw the band members taking to the streets in some kind of daggy dedication to the aerobics craze, not to mention posing with ten-speed bicycles on the back cover to the track's source album 'Mystery' (UK#24/ OZ#92). There was no mystery about Hot Chocolate's next hit 'It Started With A Kiss'. The beautifully crafted pop-ballad proved to be another high point in the band's achievements, peaking at #5 in Britain and #15 in Australia. The promo video featured footage from classic silent era films intercut with the band - which was a bit of a fad with early 80s music videos - it was actually a very effective style. 'It Started With A Kiss' puckered up and returned to the charts for Hot Chocolate in 1998 (#18). The 'Mystery' album unveiled one final chart hit with 'Chances' (UK#32/OZ#85).
1983's 'What Kinda Boy You're Lookin' For (Girl)' rewarded Hot Chocolate with their twelfth British top ten single (#10), but the track wasn't included on the band's final album of original material, 'Love Shot'. Mickie Most was at the production controls, as he had been from the very beginning, and the album yielded two more top forty hits, 'Tears On The Telephone' (UK#37) in late '83, and 'I Gave You My Heart (Didn't I)' (UK#13) in early '84, though the album itself shot wide of the charts. As of 1984, Hot Chocolate had remarkably placed a single inside the British top forty during every calendar year since 1970 - neither Elvis Presley or Diana Ross managed to keep pace with that level of consistency over those fifteen years.
Over the next couple of years Hot Chocolate cooled down their activities, with just one single 'Heartache No. 9', released in 1986. Singer Errol Brown announced he was leaving the band the same year to pursue a solo career. His first (and only) solo hits came during 1987, with 'Personal Touch' (UK#25) and 'Body Rockin' (UK#51). The same year 'You Sexy Thing' returned to the British top 10 for the second time around, albeit in remixed form. The remix was lifted from the compilation 'The Very Best Of Hot Chocolate', which gave the band their first U.K. #1 album.
Following Brown's departure Hot Chocolate disbanded for a time, but reformed with a new vocalist Greg Bannis to score a German hit with the Harvey Hinsley penned 'Never Pretend'. In the twenty years since Hinsley, Connor and Olive have maintained an involvement in the Hot Chocolate brand/band name, with new recruits Steve Beast and Andy Smith joining the fray. They've released singles sporadically, but have continued to be a regular touring force on the British and European nostalgia circuits. In 1997 'You Sexy Thing' astonishingly entered the British top 10 (#6) for the third time across three separate decades, thanks to the song featuring in the hit comedy film 'The Full Monty', becoming the only song to achieve the feat in the 70s, 80s and 90s - time still remains for it to make it four decades in succession with the 00s. 1997 also saw the song reach the charts in Britain and Australia for the dance-pop outfit T-Shirt.
Whilst Hot Chocolate have thus far been denied due recognition for their outstanding achievements in popular music, singer and writer Errol Brown received a much deserved M.B.E. in 2003, and the following year received the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for his exceptional contribution to the British music scene.

Hi Wizard,
Confetti Day featured on the original 1978 album release Every 1's A Winner. I haven't looked extensively, but it doesn't appear that the original album is currently available on CD, though there are plenty of second hand vinyl copies out there for purchase. There have been subsequent CD releases under the 'Every 1's A Winner' title, but check the track listing first, as these appear to be compilations, and don't feature Confetti Day on the track listing.
Hope you find a good quality copy of the original album.

Wit, Whimsy, Heartache, Tragedy, Triumph and Biblical Truth
A magical adventure of animals traveling worldwide to Noah's ark
Max, a Scottish terrier, takes his usual morning trot down to the loch where he hears a mysterious Voice humming in the reeds saying, "COME TO ME . . . FOLLOW THE FIRE CLOUD." He embarks on an unknown journey from Scotland, meeting other animals along the way including Liz, a brilliant, petite black cat from France. Max and Liz become the brave leaders for their group, and eventually, for the entire ark. The mysterious journey, filled with danger, humor, trials, and triumphs, leads them across Europe to the Middle East.
The moment of arrival for these animals is spectacular as the ark is miraculously transformed into the animals' natural habitats.
Throughout the prior one hundred years, Noah and family have to endure ridicule from villagers while building the ark. Now this family must painfully witness the loss of lives and total destruction of the earth through the mighty flood.
After the journey to the ark, the voyage in the ark begins. Liz finds ways to keep the animals occupied, including daily exercise led by the flamingos and talent night where the animals entertain each other with their natural abilities. BUT a sinister plot develops. Someone is out to kill Noah and his family. Liz follows clues that lead her to discover a stowaway who has deceived them all. Max and Liz foil the plot, but at a high price. The end climaxes with unexpected twists and turns, taking the reader from despair to hope.
