Launched just after the Infinix Hot 7, the Infinix Hot 7 Pro is an upgrade to the Hot 7. The Pro version cost about ₦3,000 more than the hot 7. But are the upgrades worth the extra ₦3,000 required to get the Pro version?
Some of the key upgrades of the Hot 7 Pro when compared to the Hot 7 are in the camera, RAM and storage. The camera and flash at the rear are doubled, and the Pro version also have more RAM and storage than the hot 7.
This review will look at the specs and price of the Infinix Hot 7 Pro, from the hardware, down to the software and performance.

- Storage: 32 GB internal Storage, expandable up to 128 GB
- Android Version: Android 8.1 Oreo
- CPU: Quad-core MediaTek MT6580P CPU
- Camera: Dual 13MP + 2MP rear camera and 8MP selfie camera
- Battery : 4,000mAH non-removable Li-ion Battery
Design and DisplayAt first glance, you will notice that there wasn't any new design changes to the Hot 7 Pro. It has exactly the same design as its predecessor.
At the rear is a dual camera with dual flash and a fingerprint sensor. It has that IPhone cutout notch, which together with the slim bezel on both sides allow for more screen space. Which is perfect for playing games and watching movies. The notch houses the selfie camera, sensors, ear speaker and flash.
The screen is equipped with display protection corning gorilla glass. It also has a 2.5D glass to give it that premium look.
The Infinix Hot 7 Pro is 8mm in thickness and weighs approximately 174 grams. It comes with a headphone jack and USB charging port which are placed at the bottom side of the phone.
in terms of display, it features a 6.2 inch IPS LCD display, with a resolution of 720 x 1500 pixel and aspect ratio of 19:9. It has approximately 82% screen to body ratio.
CameraThe Infinix Hot 7 Pro comes with dual 13MP main shooter which has an f/2.0 aperture plus
a 2MP depth sensor camera. Both of which is located at the rear. Also at the rear is a dual led flash for taking photos under low light condition.
These two camera work together to produce high quality images and videos of up to 1080p at 30fps(frame per second). The dual led flash is perfect for taking pictures as well as videos at low light or night time.
At the front is an 8MP selfie camera which is housed at the notch with a led flash. The selfie camera can record videos of up to 720p and features face beautification for taking the perfect selfie. other features of the camera include Geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, paranoma etc.
Storage and BatteryThe Infinix Hot 7 Pro is equipped with a 3GB RAM for multitasking and a 32GB internal memory that can be expanded up to 128GB.
It comes with a massive 4000mAh Li-Ion non removable battery that can last for hours when fully charged.
Infinix mobility is well known for their massive battery capacity. So I wasn't too surprised when the hot 7 pro was announced with a 4000mAh battery.
Software and HardwareThe Infinix Hot 7 pro comes with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box with the Infinix XOS 4.1 Honeybee Skin.
As far as the CPU goes, it features a MediaTek MT6580A Soc. It has a quad-core processor which is clocked at 1.3GHz with Mali-400 GPU.
The Infinix Hot 7 pro does not support 4G LTE. Which is a major setback of this smartphone. Since almost all mobile carriers now support 4G network.
Some Drawback Of The Infinix Hot 7 Pro
Another major setback of this smartphone is the fact that it does not support fast charging. With the massive 4000mAh battery capacity, users will have to wait a long time before the phone is fully charged.
The Processor, GPU and RAM are all features of a mid range smartphone. But considering the price of the Infinix Hot 7 Pro, this is something we are willing to take.

A Not So Deep Post
This would be huge for me, since I have this thing about meat, particularly meat on the bone. I steer clear of any meat that isn't ground. And even ground meat, I am picky about.
In my heart, I really want to get over this ridiculous issue. At the same time, I don't really care if I ever get over my ridiculous issue...because meat on the bone just grosses me out. It just does. And chunks of meat, like stew meat...ewww.
I don't even like cutting up chicken breasts. They're so rubbery and sometimes they have (finger in mouth as I say this) FAT on them. (thank you to my 4 older sisters who terrorized me when I was little and threatened to make me eat bowls of fat)
But last night I decided it was time to grow up. Be a big girl and cook a whole chicken and then tear it off the bone. It would be cheaper, and I mean really? How bad could it be?
I've never ever ever ever bought a whole chicken before, and frankly it didn't look like one chicken would be enough for our big ol' family. But Carlie helped me pick out one that didn't have a lot of blood under the shrink wrap (gross). As she put it in the buggy, I noticed the chicken arm sticking up under the shrink wrap.
Just sticking up, like a big flap. Put your elbow up behind you as far as you can and bend your arm. That is what the chicken was doing as it was going in to MY buggy to be taken to MY home.
I spotted that chicken arm and said "STOP!!!! Carlie, put it BACK!!!!!!!"
And that was the extent of my chicken buying.

This is one of the funniest things I have ever read! I can just see you deliberating in the store about it. Oh, I wish you had bought that chicken and then we could have had a good story about you taking the insides out and then cooking it!

Oh Laine I am soooo right with you on that. I have bought a couple of rotisserie chickens at the store lately and served them squimishly to my family. I used surgical gloves to pull the remaining meat off the bone for leftovers. I was thinking just last night, would it be so bad to cook a whole chicken? Shouldn't I be able to handle taking that bag of innards out? I mean my grandma used to just go out in the yard and kill a fresh one to make for her familiy's dinner. I do love an indivdually wraped chicken breast that can be dumped from the bag into a pan or crock pot and have not one drop of chicken juice on my hands or counter. This wimp thinks you did the right thing. And if one day you decide to actually do it, maybe you will inspire me to try it too.
Blessings to you and your crew!

I love you, sweet Laine! I understand the meat and bone thing. It took me alot to overcome and them I regressed...it is a process. :) Poor chicken! ;p So glad you were not alone and had a helper in the moment!

I'm such a pitiful blog friend...just catching up on your posts. I have to say that this one coming up first was worth it...hilarious! I had heard some of Rob's prison story when I called one night...I think you were supposed to call me back, but there is no way I could remember what it was about in the first place. LOL

This is hilarious.
So do you only serve ground meat...or are you okay with boneless chicken breasts? It's so much cheaper to do the whole chicken!!!!
I guess even though you're a mom of many, homeschooler kind of chick, you're not heading to be the woman who has chickens and goats in her back yard.

- Steve and Jan said...
I am SOOOO with you on this one!
I have bought a whole chicken maybe twice (thinking it would be cheaper). Each time I said, "I will NEVER do this again!"
I really don't like any kind of meat very much and could EASILY go completely vegetarian (and have done so in the past).
Actually, after this post, going vegetarian again is sounding pretty good :0

Funny! But it looks like you are not alone! I think that chicken was trying to raise his hand to say, "Me! Pick me!". :)

Thanks for the laugh this early in the morning.

Somehow even if that chicken made it home, I don't see how it would have made it onto the dinner table... (however for future reference you will need more than one)...I'll come cook and de-bone them for you!!

A heart for others: Leah Gustafson's job as president of the interact club
November 12, 2017
Many students at Redwood have an activity that satisfies them; whether it be playing a sport, acting in plays and other productions or maybe even an academic subject like chemistry or history. But for the 38 students in the Interact Club, helping others through community service is what makes them happiest.
Senior Leah Gustafson is the president of the Interact Club, a job which she never thought she would have. Gustafson joined the club during her freshman year and has continued with it ever since. She became an active leader in the club when her friends encouraged her to apply for secretary, a role which helped her prepare for eventually becoming the president.
"Before Interact I never would have considered myself a leader or able to lead a club. It's really changed my perspective on that and it's made me much more confident as a person," Gustafson said. "The transformation from being that shy freshman into secretary and finding that I can actually be a leader, that made me push myself even more out of my comfort zone."
During the four years she's been a member of Interact, her preconceived opinions on the groups she volunteers to help are often drastically changed when she actually meets them, Gustafson said.
"[Interact has] completely changed my perspective on the world around me. Every year we volunteer at Saint Vincent de Paul, which is a soup kitchen in San Rafael. My first time going there was sophomore year and I was really scared. I thought homeless people were dirty and mean, just those horrible stereotypes," Gustafson said. "And I was completely wrong; they're the most grateful people I've ever met. It just completely changed my perspective on their lives, and how they look at life, too."
As president of the Interact Club, Gustafson leads all the club meetings and contacts the board members to make sure they're doing their jobs. But her proudest accomplishment isn't related to her management skills, it's what she's achieved through recruitment.
"When I became president, we were really low on recruitment… we had eight members, and I boosted that up to 38 members, and that's because I came up with the idea to go into social issues classes to tell them about our club. Social issues students need 10 hours of community service, so I pitched that to them," Gustafson said.
Since she's now a senior and will be leaving the Interact Club after her graduation, Gustafson has outlined a plan to continue her love for community service as an adult through an organization called Rotary.
"Rotary created Interact for high school, and there's a college level which is Rotaract. I plan to continue with Rotaract in college and then Rotary in my adult life, so just continue with community service throughout my whole life. A leadership position [in Rotary] would be cool just so I can give my ideas in a better way, but just as long as I'm involved with the organization I'm happy."
The Interact Club holds meetings every Wednesday at lunch in Room 258.

The new illuminati are secret occult societies that practice esoteric knowledge, but where do they originate from?
A HISTORIC sex magic incident took place between humans and spirits in the ancient world. That incident ushered in all the occult knowledge that is practiced by humans today. It also ushered in a hybrid race of people, many who are alive today.
Such people have the ability to use their dreams and their dream state to indulge in sorcery, spiritual sex, perversions & to spiritually attack celestial beings "who are the true Holy Spirit filled believers".
It is written in Jude 1:8 "In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. "
By instinct such individuals hate Holy Spirit filled Christians and would seek to annihilate them.
The bible (Jude 6-7) also tells us that certain angels gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. That sexual union between those angels and humans was the historic sex magic incident whereupon these angels proceeded to teach them occult knowledge.
It is written in Jude 6-7 (NIV): "And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire."
We know that angels are spirits and that they can manifest in visible human form, for example, the two angels who destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
The HOLY angels mentioned in Jude 6-7 likely manifested themselves in visible human form, in order to mate with the human women. It is written in Genesis 19:5, "They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them." The "men" in question were HOLY ANGELS.
The EVIL angels of GENESIS 6 likely manifested themselves in human form, in order to copulate with human women.
Genesis 6:1-2 &4 (NIV):
"When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose… The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown."
Their defiled sexual coitus with humans produced a demonic hybrid offspring, the Nephilim who went on to have numerous descendants, e.g Ahiman, Sheshai, Talmai who were descendants of Anak, a Nephilim. Numbers 13:22 "They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived."
Post Noah's flood the Nephilim were a numerous people, strong & tall. Numbers 13:33 "We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
The Nephilim had different tribes and were known as Anakites, Emites, Rephaites. It is written, Deuteronomy 2:10-12 (NIV):(The Emites used to live there—a people strong and numerous, and as tall as the Anakites. Like the Anakites, they too were considered Rephaites, but the Moabites called them Emites.)
The Nephilim were known for building large and fortified ancient cities. Joshua 14:12 "Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said."
A remnant of the Anakite Nephilim were left in Gaza, Gath, Ashdod in the time of Joshua. That means their bloodline is here on earth today. Joshua 11:22 "No Anakites were left in Israelite territory; only in Gaza, Gath and Ashdod did any survive."
One example of a post flood Anakite Nephilim was called Kiriath Arba, who was the mightiest and greatest among the Anakite Nephilim. Joshua 14:15 "Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba after Arba, who was the greatest man among the Anakites." (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)
Another example of a post Noah's flood Rephaite Nephilim was Og king of Bashan whose bed was extremely huge and made of iron (13,5 foot in length and 6 foot wide). According to Deuteronomy 3:11 "Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites. His bed was decorated with iron and was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide. It is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites."
Upon death, Nephilim became evil demonic spirits, many which are operating in the world today.
The bible gives us a hint about the religion of the Nephilim, (Rephaites in Ashteroth Karnaim-Genesis 14:5) . They worshipped Ashtoreth "i.e Inanna, Ishtar, Aphrodite" and we know that vagina worship, ritual prostitution and sex magic with prostitutes was at the center of that cult.
The bible tells us that such sex magic cults were always linked to idol worship. Such cults were commonplace in the ancient world. Queen Jezebel was a practitioner and priestess of that sex magic cult of baal & ashrerah.
Today such mystery cults are thriving in many nations and their defiled mysteries are practiced and kept hidden in secret orders & fraternities (e.g Nxivm, tantra cults, yin tao cults, voodoo cults, goddess & phallic cults; o.t.o, rosicrucian, masons, satanism, new age cults,catholicism etc)
HOSEA 4:12-14 gives us detailed practices of such cults and their manner of worship;
"My people consult a wooden idol,
and a diviner's rod speaks to them.
A spirit of prostitution leads them astray;
they are unfaithful to their God.
They sacrifice on the mountaintops
and burn offerings on the hills,
under oak, poplar and terebinth,
where the shade is pleasant.
Therefore your daughters turn to prostitution
and your daughters-in-law to adultery.
"I will not punish your daughters
when they turn to prostitution,
nor your daughters-in-law
when they commit adultery,
because the men themselves consort with harlots
and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes—
a people without understanding will come to ruin!"
LORD JESUS himself warned about such cults (Revelation 2:20&24). SO BEWARE. Only those who walk in the SPIRIT and TRUTH will OVERCOME because JESUS overcame the world and its demonic cult powers.
Revelation 2:20 & 24;
'Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols..Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets, 'I will not impose any other burden on you, 25 except to hold on to what you have until I come.'
Those who want to walk in SPIRIT and TRUTH and HOLD ON TO JESUS, let us REPENT in CHRIST JESUS right away. Say;
Dear JESUS. I REPENT of all sin. I repent of walking in occult teachings. I repent of sexual immorality and idolatry. I repent of all wickedness. Please disconnect me from the spirit of prostitution of mystery babylon. Please give birth to me anew by your HOLY SPIRIT and WATER. I am receiving you right now LORD JESUS. I am receiving your FATHER and my FATHER through JESUS. I am receiving the HOLY SPIRIT. Please teach me your ways. Remove me from the mind of the flesh that I may not walk after its wicked desires. Give me a new heart that obeys JESUS. Please write and keep my name in the BOOK OF LIFE OF JESUS. Amen.

The Situational Judgement Test at a Glance provides a sound introduction to the SJT and details ways you can prepare before the assessment. It includes worked case examples based on real–life scenarios which have been reviewed by experienced clinicians and examiners. The book draws out key aspects of professional practice relevant to the role of a junior doctor. This is based on the nine domains as outlined by the ISFP (Improving Selection to Foundation Programme), who detailed the behaviours necessary to be a competent Foundation Doctor.
The overall aim of The Situational Judgement Test at a Glance is not to spoon feed hundreds of practice questions or reams of guidelines, but to steer you towards a logical way of approaching best medical practice – and therefore the SJT – with many examples of doctors′ personal experiences along the way.
Challenging scenarios are analysed using guidelines from the General Medical Council and research interviews with patients, lab staff and healthcare professionals. All examples in the book are worked in a test–style apparatus, with questions on one side and detailed answers over the page so you can understand the reasoning behind the material.

Kevin Durant's career altering injury is an NBA Finals showcase of Murphy's Law, when everything that could go wrong inevitably does.
When is it okay for an athlete to say 'No' to the fans, the media, and even his own team? We hold injured players guilty until proven innocent in this society. Their own word considered faulty eyewitness testimony compared to a team doctor's bulletproof bill of health. To put it simply, we need proof 'they're not faking.' It's why Kevin Durant ended up sacrificing his achilles to earn his NBA Purple Heart. Seemingly, the only path available for a 'Not Guilty' verdict in the public arena of sports injuries.
Picture escaping your fate with a slap on the wrist just weeks before. You run up the court like thousands of times prior, when you feel the sensation of someone kicking your foot. Confused, you turn around but there's no one there. Not a soul was close-by on the hardwood. The truth suddenly dawns on you, there was no kick, your health is in imminent jeopardy. The body sending a warning shot with a quick peek into the future. You manage to barely evade a life-changing trajectory. Yet, like Final Destination, fate has a way of chasing you down to get its way.
Just a month passes but the pressure to return builds from all sides, trapping the player in a spider web. The media speculates the team doesn't need you when they win… But does everything but all out demand you should come back when they lose. 'Hint, hint.' A cloud hovers over your head, questioning your very passion because of lingering free agency. Despite a three-peat being every NBA player's Holy Grail. A dream since childhood on the cusp of becoming reality in adulthood. Every day a new article sees ink questioning your drive, the seriousness of your injury, and if you're needed… All enough to drive anyone practically to madness, desperately longing to prove the naysayers wrong.
The childhood dream is on the verge of elimination, just one game away. You're more or less pressured into a workout and what once was easy feels as grueling as ever. The signs to stay away are shoved aside for the time being, hoping to stay the course. There you are, NBA Finals Game 5 against the Toronto Raptors, leading the Golden State Warriors with a quick 11 points… When reality pulls your leg from the heavens to drag you back to its darkest abyss.
You grab at your achilles trying to process what has happened. Attempting a negotiation between the mind and the body to not have this ending. But the credits have already started rolling, it's futile. No reset button to life, no reboots and no timeouts. You make one wrong decision and there's no escape or reversal. In your Purple Heart you gain the tears of your GM and the inadvertent respect of your colleagues for going out there. But was it worth it?
When before the only 'what if' was the result of the NBA Finals, now you'll inevitably wonder 'what if' for the rest of your career. A curse post-return. Even if you come back good as new… The human mind cannot help but wonder if it would be better had the achilles injury never happened. A possible NBA Championship ring simultaneously doubling as a 'cautionary tale' for other athletes. A spokesperson position you never asked for. You're left pondering what you'll be like and how the moment your achilles ruptured will change your life.
Yet, had you won Finals MVP and three-peated, it would be the highest of highs instead of bittersweet regardless of outcome. Hindsight is indeed 20/20.
NBA10 shots that changed NBA history in the last decade
There's shots in the NBA Playoffs that vaporize teams and send franchises scrambling into an instant rebuild. Shots that keep their victims up at night, tossing and turning. Ball hitting net burned into their retinas everywhere they look. Grasping at a ring stolen out of their fingertips.
1) Ray Allen rescues 'The Decision'
Imagine spending a year's worth of salary on a Tiffany's engagement ring, only to have it snatched just before you propose. The Spurs' Manu Ginóbili once commented, 'It's not the blowout losses that keep me up at night but the games that were decided on one or two plays.' Better to lose the race early than get edged out at the finish line. The San Antonio Spurs were so close to victory they could taste it… Only to pause and rewind the moment a Larry O'Brien vanished from their trophy case for eternity. The squad would go on to achieve retribution in 2014 but the chance to tie Michael Jordan, even non-consecutively, will always elude the arena Tim Duncan built.
Ray Allen's iconic shot not only devastated one franchise… It pulled one teammate's off the court 'Decision' from the quicksand of lifelong scrutiny. In an alternate timeline where Allen misses, the last visual from 2013 NBA Finals would have been LeBron James missing a crucial shot as time winds down. Going 1 of 3 in the NBA Finals after boasting "Not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7!" during a Miami Heat debut press conference. Along with a calamitous defeat against an overmatched underdog on paper during the 2011 NBA Finals. Perhaps, LeBron never goes back to the Cleveland Cavaliers, feeling intense pressure to prove South Beach was the right choice…
2) Kyrie Irving changes landscape of the NBA with a single shot
Kyrie Irving's fancy ball handling into a rhythm 3 in the 2016 NBA Finals set the course for an arms race. An NBA Cold War. Make no mistake, if the Warriors win this series, it's a good bet Draymond Green never calls Kevin Durant in that parking lot. Or at all. There would be no need to fix that which isn't broken. The chances for Durant signing onboard with the Warriors in the summer are drastically reduced. Maybe Durant even remains in OKC, signs a speculative 1+1 deal.
It was this Irving 3-pointer fueling a Championship comeback that left the Warriors scrambling for answers. A 3-1 series lead squandered. Enter the era of the Big 4. Rolling tanks into every game against the equivalent of volunteer infantry on horseback. The years following would see the NBA lose even a hint of parity as the Warriors became unstoppable, a literal regular season All-Star team. Crowned champions before pre-season barring injury.
3) Damian Lillard sends the Thunder into an instant rebuild
Fatality. Flawless Victory. Damian Lillard uppercutted the Thunder franchise out of the sky and descending into an unforgiving pit. The series winning buzzer beater not only put an end to the Thunder's playoff hopes, it single handily sent its two franchise players onto two different teams. Leaving the most meager of remnants of Thunder DNA behind.
Miles away from the NBA Finals trip of yore. Lillard would ominously wave good bye, leaving a franchise crumbled under the weight of one shot. As The Prodigy's Keith Flint once sang, "I hear Thunder but there's no Rain."
4) Kawhi Leonard raises Raptors, makes opponent shed tears
Kawhi Leonard made time stand still, and went it came back a 7-foot phenom was reduced to uncontrollable tears. The young 76ers paid the collective dues of hard earned agony. When your very best is still not good enough. When giving it your all, 110%, does not match what you envisioned in your mind.
The Raptors would go on to win the NBA Championship and though Kawhi left, the franchise will always look back fondly at The Klaw. While the 76ers play catch up to what could have been…
5) Stephen Curry ends 'Grit and Grind' from half court
There are times when a shot can demoralize and gut punch an opponent onto the ropes before a fourth quarter even commences. Stephen Curry's buzzer beating 3 from half court made the boulder the Grizzlies had been working so hard to push forward, roll right back. Despite a valiant comeback by a returning face masked Mike Conley in Game 2 and 3 of the series, team adrenaline was starting to wear off.
It was the best the Grizzlies had looked since the 2011 and 2013 playoffs… And it still wasn't enough to put the Warriors away. 'Grit and Grind' would never fully recover after this playoff loss, losing two years in a row to the Spurs. Full circle. The team they'd once vanquished from Championship aspirations in 2011 returning the favor. The roster would slowly be disassembled as the era of the last traditional big man-led team concluded. Postups traded in favor of standing behind the 3-point line.
6) LeBron James shows there's no stopping momentum in the NBA
The invisible hand of momentum is dually deceptive. To the ones caught in its crosshairs, there's no leaving the containment zone, to outsiders it feels nonexistent. Equal opportunity. Another game, another chance. Manu Ginóbili once commented following Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals to USA Today, "I have no clue how we're going to be re-energized. I'm devastated. But we have to. There's no Game 8 afterward."
Ray Allen's championship sinking 3-pointer had demoralized the Spurs to the point of no return. LeBron's Game 7 winner would finalize the Spurs' fate for the Finals. One that had already been written before tipoff. Just look at Tim Duncan uncharacteristically slapping the court, every possession gone wrong playing before his eyes in one flash.
7) Kevin Durant returns Finals pain experience, full circle
When you're constantly fighting the tide, you end up being swept up. The Cavaliers' hopes of living another day were dashed as a Great White's fin thwarted their exhausting escape. With one 3-pointer, Kevin Durant closed the book on any divine comeback and effectively ended the series. One lion can only dominate the savannah for so long before his hungry peers team up to oust him from his throne.
8) Lillard takes franchise mantle with one shot
Damian Lillard rise to prominence after ending the Rockets' postseason hopes would led to an unexpected consequence… The perception by the Trail Blazers' franchise big man LaMarcus Aldridge to feel underappreciated according to USA Today. Aldridge would depart to the San Antonio Spurs, leaving a Trail Blazers team that until this day, is always one Aldridge level big man from contending. Jusuf Nurkić being the first to show what could have been until suffering a season ending injury.
Ironically, Houston would make a deep run in the playoffs the season after, while the Trail Blazers were eliminated quietly in the first round. Only winning one game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
9) Metta World Peace/Ron Artest makes Lakers History
There are few rivalries as iconic as the Lakers/Celtics, spanning multiple generations. An unlikely hero rose in the midst of the Celtics' infantry swarming General Mamba. The Lakers' Ron Artest/Metta World Peace would launch the most clutch 3-pointer of his career to put the squad up 6 with one minute to go. Following up with kisses blown to the crowd. The pendulum would swing the Lakers way to another Championship parade. Redemption tour complete.
10) Paul Pierce exposes Raptors' foundations
Before LeBronto, Paul Pierce was already exposing the Raptors to the basketball world. Pierce sank a late fourth quarter 3 to put the Wizards up 3-0 against the Raptors with signature worthy ease. In many ways, this game should have served as a warning sign to the franchise that for whatever reason the Lowry/DeRozan 1-2 punch didn't quite work together. Despite their great individual talents as players and friendship off the court, the duo appeared to repeatedly lose confidence in the face of adversity. Lowry would go 5-22 and DeRozan 11-29, making most of his 32 points at the free throw line (7 of 7) in their Game 3 loss.
While the Raptors would make a deep run the following year, LeBron would end their hopes, and do the same the following two seasons. Sometimes a single shot is an exposé.
Bonus #1: Zach Randolph's statement on playoff seeding
There is no greater basketball pain for a #1 seed than to be sent home in the first round. The drudgery of the regular season proven fruitless in the end. Zach Randolph's 3 put the Grizzlies up 2-1 but it was already crystal clear where the tide was turning.
Randolph had previously led a rebellion against the Mavericks after being down 0-3 in the 2003 NBA Playoffs as a Trail Blazer. Taking the Mavs to the brink of humiliating defeat in an unprecedented Game 7. He scoffs at being the underdog having any meaning. The Grizzlies eliminating the Spurs would cement Grit and Grind as a movement in Memphis. ZBo, their Shepard.
Bonus #2: Vince Carter's alternate timeline 3
For many years, Vince Carter was disparaged by the media for attending his college graduation ahead of Game 7 of the 2001 Raptors/76ers series. Detractors bringing up the final missed shot and loss as a supposed result of not staying linearly focused. In reality, according to Ball Is Life, Vince Carter only stayed for 20 minutes of the ceremony and was already in Philly "5 hours before the game." While VC had no regrets about attending the ceremony, he was able to reconcile the moment with a corner buzzer beating 3 in the 2014 NBA Playoffs. Goes to show, every career is one shot away from critical acclaim or eternal criticism.
Free throws that changed the game:
It's not always the whirlwind buzzer beaters from behind the the 3-point line or the shake and bake rhythm shots that change the game. Sometimes two free throws immeasurably change the league's trajectory. In 2013, Kobe Bryant suffered a season ending achilles tear in a regular season game against the Golden State Warriors. Mamba never quite had the same lift upon returning, understandably so.
The basketball world was robbed of enjoying superhuman, Hollywood-esque feats like Kobe's 2006 Game Winner against the Phoenix Suns. Of course, Kobe being Kobe, left the game on his own terms with 60 points and the W for his retirement game against the Utah Jazz at Staples Center. Hollywood-esque indeed.

Los Angeles LakersLaker Lore: Kobe Bryant hits 2006 Game Winner against Phoenix Suns
6.1 seconds on the clock. Overtime. Kobe Bryant methodically advances a dribble up-court with the cavalry in front of him, reading his every move. Despite knowing the future, Raja Bell and Boris Diaw are unable to stop it from arriving.
Rewind in time to a jump ball tipped by the Lakers' Luke Walton, rescued valiantly by Kobe Bryant from landing out of bounds. Bryant cradles Spalding's finest with his left hand, slinks back to his right, pacing himself down the court in Swiss watch-like precision. There is no time to plan and reflect, only act. Every dribble counting more than the last one. Zero margin of error.
Raja Bell rushes to fortify the defenses against this lone adversary, heart rate at full throttle. But Bryant is already past the drawbridge and the moat, the castle has been breached! Backup arrives as Boris Diaw senses impending doom from the fiery catapult about to launch. Doomsday.
Nash's front lines attempt to smother this renegade uprising to no avail. 1.7 seconds on the clock, Bryant rises above the resistance and takes a shot. The last chance leaves Bryant's finger tips… Without a hint of hesitation. Breathes are held by both figurative armies as fate floats though the air. Time slows to a crawl momentarily, then returns at mach speed. The jumper pierces through the net and an earthquake-like tremor is felt at the epicenter that is Staples Center. Los Angeles celebrates the spectacle of a victory instantaneously! Roars of 'MVP' burst across the seams of their coliseum.
General Phil Jackson remains stoic, waiting for final confirmation the shot counted before time went out. Yet, the Phoenix Suns have already left the court, deflated, morally and physically. The shot they saw coming but could do nothing about. Steve Nash leaves immediately, as the rest of squad follows suit sans Tim Thomas. Who remains bewildered in disbelief at what has transpired. A tipped off ambush that still results in losing ground.
Eventually Nash's well-trained Suns would miraculously steal victory from the Mamba's Viper, sending a year of Bryant's prime back to the dungeon. Tiring out the will of the Lakers fight, forcing them to push a boulder uphill until they could push no longer. Rolling them back to the darkness of winning battles but losing the war in despair…
Yet, the vulture looming was still three games away from feeding. That night, Kobe Bryant's Lakers owned a 3-1 lead as the underdog #7th seed against the disciplined #2 seed. A whole generation of Laker caught in a drunk haze of triumph, dreaming of the possibilities.

Pontius Road PilsnerShort's Brewing Company
Bellaire, MI
Style: Pilsener
Rings's Rating:
Pair With:Shorts Brewing Company is rapidly gaining a strong following among Michigan beer geeks over the past couple years as their production has moved well into a couple thousand barrels per year, well beyond the hundred or so brewed in their first year. Founded by Joe Short in 2004, the company has become a family affair as his now wife Leah runs the deli and food portion of the business and Joe concentrates on sales and production as they've expanded from their original hardware store into a production facility.

Located in the small northern Michigan resort town of Bellaire, near Torch Lake, it's pretty much "in the middle of nowhere" but has, nonetheless, managed to gain a foothold throughout the north and west sides of the state and beyond. Their beers are bold, passionate and flavorful and their pub and live music scene is rollicking, particularly in the summer season.
While I've always enjoyed their beers, I'd never really "reviewed" one as they never tend to be much for style accuracy. Heck, their offerings are typically tough to actually even define, much less get into style.
Their Pontius Road Pilsner is one of those beers. Offered on draft only, the PRP is described as "true American pilsner," which is somewhat akin to Miller Lite's claim, albeit in a completely different direction and for completely different reasons.
It's does pour pale and clear, but it strikes me as more of a helles than a pils, although it's flowery enough to even doubt the lager yeast. It's very mildly hopped, with little of the crispness one might expect in a pils. The body is sweet and full, with a gorgeous full white head. There is a mildly dry finish and, unfortunately, a hint of DMS, although nothing more than a Rolling Rock would consider distinct.
As one of their tamer offerings, this would make a great session beer and pair nicely with almost any tomato dish, especially anything highly seasoned or spicy.
While not within style, this is nonetheless a very enjoyable brew and is recommended with a solid three mugs.

Lovely JoJo's
We're swooning with delight at these fantastic prints from Lovely JoJo's. Quirky, interesting, unique and completely funky. Ticks all of our boxes.
In particular, this little beauty caught my eye. It's pretty much my personal ethos and I may make it the company mission statement.
Why not skate over to Lovely JoJo's website and admire everything? Buy it all whilst you're there!
Funky Kitsch Price Match
We already know our prices are very competitive. We're so confident that we're the cheapest that we're offering to price match everything* on our website. If you can find a product that we sell for less, then we'll refund you the difference on your purchase.
We only ask that you post us the link of the website/shop where the cheaper product is so that we can check it out. Easy peasy!
Please note the price match does not include wholesalers, retailers outside the UK and auction site items due to concerns regarding authenticity.
AND if you can show us a cheaper website and we can beat that price then we will offer an even lower price – BETTER THAN PRICE MATCH!
New Website! New Fabric!
Welcome to our new look website. It was designed with ease of use in mind. You'll notice that some of the photos are bigger and better with a zoom feature added. Hopefully we'll be updating some of our older photos when we can get round to it. We'd love to hear any feedback on your thoughts, suggestions and criticism.
Moving on to our new fabrics that have finally landed; first up is the crazy world of the 'Night Fox'. Foxes are still 'bang on trend' and coupled with the lush background blue, it makes for a truly funky design.
Second up is our Bambi fabric from Znok. Pink and green hues with the kitsch bambi in the foreground makes for a very pretty design for the summer.
Next is 'Sweet Days' from Lillestoff. Browns, pinks and more sweeties than you can shake a stick at. Very pleasing to the eye.
Finally we have the Rainbowphant from Lillestoff. A very popular print that has seen a reprint lately. Thank goodness as it sold out first time around. This print has everything for me; rainbows, happy faces on raindrops and in your face colours. Everyone who has seen this up close has uttered the words 'wow'…I kid you not. It goes without saying that these fabrics have been awarded Oekotex certification and are composed of 95% cotton, 5% lycra.
You might have noticed we've added to the Funky Stuff on our website. I'll be featuring these separately over the coming next few days as there are many. But to give a brief summary of what's in there we have Bora, Flat Pets, Noodolls, Lapin Woodland Dolls and some amazing rainbow muslins by Faye & Lou. I will be doing a feature on the muslins tomorrow so watch this space.

How do I Choose a Crime Scene School?
There are four items to consider when choosing a crime scene school: education level, equipment, admissions requirements, and faculty. A crime scene school can be part of a larger university or college, or a separate school. The best crime scene schools are affiliated with criminology and law enforcement programs. This combination allows for cross training opportunities and inter-discipline studies.
There are two types of programs in crime scene school: professional criminologist and crime scene technician. The professional criminologist is responsible for managing the crime scene, reviewing and approving the crime scene reports, and making sure that protocol is followed. The crime scene technician is responsible for processing the actual crime scene evidence and working with other staff to analyze the information collected. The program to become a criminologist is four to five years in length, and the program to become a crime scene technologist is two to three years in length.
Selecting the best school should be based on your own goals, achievements, and skill levels. An honest review of your high school marks, level of effort and dedication is a strong indicator to help you decide which school is best for you. Select a school where you will be both challenged and successful.
Look for a crime school with a wide range of equipment available for student use. This includes full- and half-size mannequins, as well as full-size skeleton models. Some programs have mock crime scenes, so students can practice their skills. Check the average class size to ensure you will have ample opportunity to use this equipment.
In order to qualify for admission to crime scene school, you must have high school courses in biology, English, and at least one other science course. The best schools are usually located in a large city. Many schools offer flexible enrollment and part-time courses to help students meet their goals. Select the items that are important to you, and make sure that you find the best school for your needs and goals.
If you are looking at the best crime scene school in the country or state, take note that the admissions standard is higher to reflect the increased demand. These schools often require students to have a combination of high marks and letters of recommendation from former teachers. It is important to note that being in the lowest quarter of your class at the best school does not help either your career or quality of education you are receiving.
Most crime scene schools provide the biographies of their faculty or instructors on their website. The information listed typically includes the academic credentials, work experience, special training, and any awards they have received. Review this information to learn more about your instructions, and think about the different experiences they have had and the knowledge they would be able to share.

I joined the establishment of the Zambia High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa, on 17th December, 2007, as Press Secretary.
The High Commissioner then was former Secretary to the Cabinet, Mr Leslie Mbula. Apart from the Deputy Head of Mission, Mrs Catherine Lishomwa, and the High Commissioner's personal secretary, Mrs Mulenga, the rest of the diplomatic staff at the Mission were male.
We were told that there were missions where the Head of Mission and his deputy did not see eye to eye – where members of staff had divided loyalties, with some paying their allegiance to the Head of Mission and others to his deputy. But this was not the case with us in Pretoria, thanks to the leadership of Mr Mbula, who constantly counselled us on the need to work as a team if we were to achieve anything as a Mission.
Initially, while awaiting my accreditation as Press Secretary by the South African Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Foreign Affairs), I was assigned to do protocol duties at Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg. My duties basically entailed welcoming Zambian VIP's at the airport- those coming to or transiting through South Africa. These included Cabinet Ministers, deputy ministers and other VIPs, including the first Republican President, Dr Kenneth Kaunda and the Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr Musa Mwanamwambwa.
As if by design, each time either Dr Kaunda or Mr Mwanamwamba came to or transited through Johannesburg, I happened to be the one assigned to do protocol duties at the airport. No wonder, over time, we got to know each other very well.
Perhaps because of the position he held as Speaker, I had always thought that Mr Mwanamwambwa was a tough, unfriendly type. How wrong I was! During my interactions with him, I discovered that he was actually a very humble person with a remarkably good sense of humour. Before taking him to his hotel, we would sit in the State Lounge for a brief rest and freely share information on current events at home in Zambia and South Africa.
A State Lounge is a government facility used as a resting point for VIPs, who include current and former Heads of State. In the case of the South African facility at O.R.Tambo International Airport, it is an impressive structure rehabilitated during the 2010 World Cup. It has compartments specifically reserved for current and former Heads of State and those for Cabinet ministers, deputy ministers and other VIPs hailing from various parts of the world.
And each time he returned home, the Speaker would write to the High Commissioner thanking him for the courtesies extended to him by his members of staff. He was such a nice man, never taking anything for granted. Indeed, if all VIPs behaved like him, it would be a pleasure working as a protocol officer at the airport.
But the reality on the ground was that some VIPs were quite bossy. They did not look at the protocol officer as a person deserving respect. They enjoyed using him as their "chola boy" whose duty it was to carry their luggage and take them wherever he was supposed to take them.
Coming back to Mr Mwanamwambwa. His favourite hotel was the five-star Southern Sun located within a stone's throw from the airport. So each time he came to Johannesburg, the Mission made sure that we booked him at this hotel. Perhaps because I was new at the job, my thinking was that since the Speaker liked the Southern Sun, then it meant that all VIPs of his status were to be booked there!
Then there came this time when I made my first boob as a protocol officer at the airport. I had barely done two months as a protocol officer when the Mission received a message that the First Lady, then Mrs Maureen Mwanawasa, was coming for some business in Johannesburg.
As the protocol officer on duty that week, the High Commissioner's Secretary, Mrs Mulenga, asked me to book the First Lady "at her usual hotel near the airport."
Mrs Mulenga obviously assumed that I knew what she meant by "her (Mrs Mwanawasa's) usual hotel near the airport." Yes, all my colleagues at the Mission would have known what she meant but not me! I didn't bother to ask her what she meant: I just assumed that I knew.
As already alluded to, my thinking was that since the Speaker, Mr Mwanamwambwa, was always booked at the Southern Sun, it could only mean that it was the same hotel where I was to book Mrs Mwanawasa as well. This was to turn out to be a grave mistake!
I had confidently driven to the Southern Sun and made the bookings for the First Lady and her entourage – only to discover later, much to my shock, that I had booked her in a wrong hotel! It transpired that the First Lady had her own favourite hotel, which was also near the airport, and this was not the Southern Sun…. but Hotel Intercontinental!
So there I was, shivering from stem to stern, wondering what would happen to me for making what I now considered to have been a foolish mistake. My colleagues told me that Mrs Mwanawasa might not take kindly to this, thinking that I had done it deliberately since every officer at the Mission was supposed to know her favourite hotel.
This scared me out of my wits because I thought my 'juicy' days as a diplomat, which had just begun, would soon come to an end. I could even visualize receiving the "infamous" document every diplomat dreads – the letter of recall – in the next diplomatic bag. And how would I explain it to my family and friends at home as to the reason for my abrupt recall?
For what worse crime could a diplomat commit than booking the spouse of your country's Head of State in a wrong place? I wished the earth could open and swallow me so that I didn't have to explain anything. But then the earth refused to open and remained the way it was, thus leaving poor me to my fate!
Fortunately, when the High Commissioner, Mr Leslie Mbula, was informed of the error I had made, he rushed over to the airport to sort things out before the First Lady arrived. We cancelled the bookings at the Southern Sun and booked her at Hotel Intercontinental.
And seeing that I looked so worried, Mr Mbula calmed me down, saying such mistakes happened in life. "What is important is that you learn from such mistakes," he told me. "In diplomacy, there is no room for assumptions. You must always be sure of what you are doing. You should not have just assumed that since you always booked the Speaker at the Southern Sun, then the First Lady should have been booked there as well."
And when the First Lady finally came, she had to be delayed for about half an hour (just imagine!) at Hotel Intercontinental before she and her entourage took occupation of their rooms as they had to be cleaned first. Mr Mbula explained the situation to her and she said it was fine, I shouldn't worry about it. I felt so relieved and thanked her for her understanding. She had proved to me that she had a motherly heart and I would remain eternally grateful to her.
But after that first boob, I made sure that I did not repeat the same mistake. In fact, I was soon to become an "expert" at protocol duties. I became so popular with some VIP's that even long after I had left the airport to concentrate on my area of duty as Press Secretary, they would ask the High Commissioner that I should be the one to receive them at the airport! I didn't know why, but I was told they found me helpful, mature, jovial and entertaining!
