New cocktail bar ready to launch in Glasgow when restrictions ease
New Glasgow cocktail bar ready to launch when restrictions ease
By Paul Trainer @PaulTrainerPT Glasgowist
The Amsterdam Bar is one of the shuttered venues in the city awaiting updates on the prolonged, multi-tiered approach to our stalled exit from lockdown.
Winter is coming and with it a stark realisation that there may be further restrictions in January before things start to get better. Vaccination news has provided some encouragement. We can begin to imagine a more familiar way to socialise. Bars will be back, and when they do return, this place will have something extra to offer.
The story so far: The 'Dam is a dog-friendly, stylish city centre hangout, with an upbeat soundtrack. A sister venue to Saint Luke's, Tom Walker hosted his aftershow party here when he played at the Barrowlands and Lewis Capaldi is a fan. The bar has a freewheeling approach to their rotating cocktail selection and the outside area is popular for pints when it's sunny. Order shakshuka baked eggs and a Bloody Mary for brunch. Elsewhere on the menu - burgers, loaded fries and sourdough pizza.
Embracing the Dutch theme and taking inspiration from the story of artist Vincent Van Gogh, their basement has been transformed into The Absent Ear, the Merchant City's new cocktail lounge and speakeasy. Owner Michael Woods has hired the cocktail team that made Wheesht one of the most talked about drinking dens in the city when it popped-up on Claremont Street. They are working with The Amsterdam to create a new space for "flamboyant cocktails with a theatrical presentation". The tastefully appointed lounge will also serve a bar snack menu. The new venue will be ready to launch when Glasgow makes it to a tier of restrictions that allows cocktails to be served. In the meantime, here's one of their recipes that you can try at home.
"This is our indulgent end of the night dessert drink. We call it the Tiramisu in homage to the classic Italian dessert. When we return, you can order this from the bar at The 'Dam or enjoy it in our new late night cocktail bar speakeasy"
45ml Glenlivet
7.5ml Gravino
10ml Tonka syrup
10ml Pandan
25ml Espresso (or strong Cold Brew)
15ml Cacao Nib Infused Oloroso
12.5ml Nonino
10ml Cross Brew
1 Whole Egg
Method: Mix all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker, strain then serve in a Lotus biscuit crumbed glass. Garnish with some chocolate dust.
Shop Local: See Sharp Optical
It's worth noting with a sense of pride that 6,874 new businesses have started up in Glasgow this year in spite of all the challenges and missed opportunities that 2020 represents. The local entrepreneurial spirit comes in all different shapes and sizes. It's powering a revival of neighbourhood high streets but often these are family businesses that start from home. Bobby Bowden has made glasses since the age of 16. Three years ago, at the age of 58 and looking to concentrate on what he does best, he took the plunge and set up his own company with his wife Linda. See Sharp Optical is based in a converted garage at the bottom of their garden at their home on Everard Drive in Springburn. It now functions as a workshop and showroom.
I first heard a bit of their story when I parked on the street – Linda had called across her garden fence to ask if I was interested in a new pair of glasses and offered a leaflet, from an appropriate social distance. She talks to customers and the businesses has grown through word of mouth.
They are open during lockdown, operating on a pre-arranged appointment basis to ensure limited visits and give time for cleaning between customers. Glasses can be selected and are often made while you wait and have a cup of tea. Bobby also offers repairs to existing frames. Daughter Angela says: "They spend time chatting to every single customer and the showroom feels homely with a wee fire, couch and a kettle that is always on. They are down to earth, humble and happy when enough money is made to pay the bills. Three years on, they still get excited when the phone goes and a returning or new customer makes an appointment."
Arab Strap Return With New Album
"It's about hopelessness and darkness," says Aidan Moffat. "But in a fun way." The Arab Strap frontman is speaking about the band's seventh studio album 'As Days Get Dark', and their first since 2005's 'The Last Romance.' Moffat makes it clear that the aim is not to "recapture the 90s," but instead to create a distinctive album and move forward. "This album feels like its own new thing to me," he says. "It's definitely Arab Strap, but an older and wiser one, and quite probably a better one."
Across the eleven tracks, the band have tapped into their core foundations, but also stretched it out into new terrain. The mix of post-rock soundscapes, subtle electronics, clicking drum beats, swelling strings and Moffat's half-sung, half-spoken vocals are all present, but so too is are new additions - from blasts of saxophone to disco grooves and an immersive production that takes you deep into the stories.
"We've had enough distance from our earlier work to reappraise and dissect the good and bad elements of what we did," says Malcolm Middleton. "Not many bands get to do this, so it's great to split up."
The band reconnected with producer Paul Savage, with just the three of them in the studio, as it was the very first time around. "Paul brings comfort and trust," says Middleton, "And a sense of continuity."
"I've never been interested in making slick records," says Moffat. "But the new stuff sounds much fuller, brighter and better because we actually know what we're doing. I think for a long time we didn't know how to express what we wanted in a studio."
'As Days Gets Dark' is a record that is a continuation for the band as well as a leap forward, Middleton concludes: "There's no point getting back together to release mediocrity."

Background. As the oldest-old American population (i.e., aged 85+ years) continues to grow, additional efforts are needed to address falls among this high-risk age group. While fall prevention programs are widely disseminated, less is known about the effectiveness of such interventions among the oldest-old. This study examines changes in physical activity and falls efficacy among oldest-old participants enrolled in A Matter of Balance/Volunteer Lay Leader model (AMOB/VLL), a falls-risk reduction program. Methods. We included 260 participants aged 85 years and older enrolled in the Texas AMOB/VLL between September 2007 and April 2009. Changes in Falls Efficacy Scale scores and weekly physical activity levels were examined from baseline to post-intervention. Repeated measures ANCOVA were employed to assess program effects on falls efficacy. Results . Falls Efficacy Scale scores increased from baseline to post-intervention (β=1.98, p<0.001). On average, Falls Efficacy Scale scores were higher among those who increased their physical activity (improvement group) relative to those who did not improve (no-improvement group) (β=1.32, p<0.05). Furthermore, increases in Falls Efficacy Scale scores among the physical activity improvement group from baseline to post-intervention were significantly higher than increases among the no-improvement group (β=1.43, p<0.05). Conclusion. Findings from this study support the effectiveness of evidence-based programs for reducing falls efficacy in oldest-old participants. Examining the effectiveness of AMOB/VLL for oldest-old participants can enable public health professionals to meet the health demands of an aging society. Translational research about dissemination and implementation of evidence-based programs is recommended to enhance intervention strategies for the oldest-old population.
1. Describe the benefits A Matter of Balance/Volunteer Lay Leader model (AMOB/VLL) in terms of physical activity and falls efficacy among oldest-old participants. 2. Identify the combined effectiveness of physical and psychological improvement resulting from enrollment in AMOB/VLL. 3. Discuss policy implications of enhancing physical activity among the oldest-old population.

Leclerc: I've got a lot to learn after Singapore radio rant
Ferrari's call to allow Sebastian Vettel to take first spot from Charles Leclerc in Singapore was not initially well received by the latter.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was clearly frustrated by his team's tactics in the Singapore Grand Prix. - Getty Images
Charles Leclerc has regrets about his outburst over the team radio during his second-placed finish at the Singapore Grand Prix.
The Ferrari driver finished behind team-mate Sebastian Vettel at the Marina Bay Street Circuit on Sunday but had appeared on course for victory himself.
However, Vettel was given the go ahead to undercut his team-mate as the 21-year-old came out of the pit lane.
Leclerc did nothing to hide his frustration at that call, which he described as "not fair", but he has since come to regard his response as an overreaction.
"I believe my reaction was well over what it should be," he said. "And that shows that I've still got a lot to learn.
"In that situation there was no need to be like this – the team [did] the right thing, we finished first and second.

"We wouldn't have finished first and second with another strategy and that's what matters the most.
"So on that I definitely have got a lot to learn. [And] a lot to improve. But that won't happen again in the future."
Vettel, who is six points behind his fellow Ferrari driver in the standings, could understand why Leclerc reacted the way he did.
"Obviously he wanted to win, he was upset when he realised he was behind," said the German.
"If it was the other way around I probably would have been equally as upset.
"It's part of the emotion that runs through you when you are racing. If they weren't it would mean that you don't care, and I don't think there are many drivers that don't care."
Ferrari will be hoping for another one-two in Russia this weekend, having closed the gap on Mercedes since the mid-season break.
Reigning champion Lewis Hamilton still sits at the summit, though, with the Briton 96 points ahead of Leclerc.

You worked hard to obtain your property tax professional license in Texas, which can be threatened with just one complaint. If you have been notified of allegations against your license, it is crucial that you take them seriously right from the start. Ignoring a complaint could cost you your professional license and your career.
The attorneys at Bertolino LLP understand the impact a single complaint can have on your career and livelihood. We're dedicated to helping licensed property tax professionals like you fight the allegations brought forth against your license. We have a strong track record helping professionals in Austin and across the State of Texas protect their licenses.
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) handles complaints against licensed property tax professionals. Once they receive a complaint, they'll first determine the validity of the allegations and examine whether such allegations involve possible violations of Chapter 1151 of the Texas Occupations Code. TDLR may then proceed with a formal investigation, part of which requires giving you an opportunity to respond. TDLR will also review any documents or materials provided in your defense.
If an informal resolution cannot be reached by the TDLR, you will be required to appear before an administrative law judge (ALJ) at the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH), where you will have the opportunity to provide evidence and call on witnesses to testify on your behalf. The ALJ will offer a Proposal for Decision, which the Board may adopt as a final order or reject and explain why a different final order will be rendered. An unfavorable ruling can result in disciplinary actions such as reprimand, suspension, or revocation of your property tax professional license.
If you have been notified of a complaint against your property tax professional license, you should not attempt to handle it alone. Building a solid defense requires a wealth of legal knowledge and the experience of a Texas professional license defense attorney. At Bertolino LLP, we'll leave no stone unturned when it comes to protecting your career and livelihood. There is simply too much at stake.
Having a reliable and experienced attorney on your side can make a big difference. Contact us today or call 512-717-5432 to schedule a case evaluation.


The Lake Isabella Village Charter establishes that the local government structure for the community as the Council-Manager form of government. Under the Council-Manager form, the community directly elects 7 members to the Village Council. The Village Council then hires a professional manager to carry out their policy actions and to oversee the day-to-day operations of the government. Officers of the Council are selected every two years in January following an election. These officers include the Village President, Village President Pro-Tempore, Village Clerk, and Village Treasurer.
In 2012 the State of Michigan amended the laws covering Village elections. Starting in 2013 villages in Michigan are no longer allowed to conduct their own elections. Regular village elections will now be conducted by the local township and held as part of the even year November General Election. Terms of office begin on the first Monday in January of the following year and run for 4 years. Of the seven members of the Village Council; 3 are elected in one cycle, while the remaining 4 are elected in the next election cycle. Each overlapping 2 year period is considered a session of the Village Council. Presently this is the 10th session of the Village Council, which runs from January of 2017 until in January of 2019. Meetings of the Village Council are held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 7:00 PM. The meeting location is the Village Hall, 1010 Clubhouse Drive, Lake Isabella, MI 48893.
The Village President and Council are the legislative body for the community; its members are the community's decision makers. Power is centralized in the elected Council, which approves the budget, adopts all legislation, and establishes policies and procedures for the Village. The Council also focuses on the community's goals, major projects, and such long-term considerations as community growth, land use development, capital improvement plans, capital financing, and strategic planning.
The Village Manager is hired to serve the Council and the community. The Village Manager prepares a budget for the Council's consideration; recruits, hires, and supervises the government's staff; serves as the Council's chief adviser; and carries out the Council's policies. The Council and citizens count on the Village Manager to provide complete and objective information, pros and cons of alternatives, and long-term consequences as well as ensure that the local unit of government operates in an efficient and responsible manner.
The relationship between the community, Village Council, and Village Manager also reflected in Village's adopted organizational chart.

Sleek and rational: a logical path of lines evokes the image of a maze and creates a graphic frame that distinguishes the Labirinto Collection. The perfect convergence between ancient culture and the modern design of which Gio Ponti was one of the leading representatives, the collection was inspired by the pattern created by the master in 1926. The Impero shape, with its cylindrical outlines, evokes similar models from the late eighteenth century, imprinted by the lines of Neoclassical elegance, and it enhances the style and simplicity of the Labirinto Collection.

Farm de Maria da Guarda
Of Portuguese capitals, is a living legend that tells the art of making oil
Farm of Maria da Guarda, located in Serpa, Alentejo, has an olive grove with about 1.3 million olive trees. It is one of the olive groves with the largest number of olive trees on an estate of Portuguese capital in Portugal, being a living legend that tells the art of making oil.
The history of the name of the farm is linked to a local person who had a vision of the Mother of God. In this vision, Mary remembers that, during the arduous agricultural work, each worker had their own Guardian Angel for work and so the yoke was soft, the load lighter and the work happier.
Archaeological records found at the Maria da Guarda Estate reveal elements such as the lagareta, a stone on which a Roman settlement was built, and where Lagaretta oil, a very exclusive brand, takes its name. It is a precious legacy and the prologue to the production of Alentejo and national oils. However, the vocation of the nearly 2 million kilos of oil produced annually in the oil press of the farm are dedicated almost entirely to exportation in bulk.
During the Roman Empire, the olive tree symbolized glory and peace. The oil coming from Lusitania, for its singularity and low level of acidity, conquered the palate of the demanding emperors, who brought to Rome the valuable nectar produced in the distant lands of Portugal. The olive tree and the oil are the basis of the Mediterranean civilization, which goes from classical Greece to Lusitania, passing through the Garden of Gethsemane, the garden of olive trees where Jesus went to pray on the eve of his death.
An old Portuguese saying: "my grandfather's olive tree, my father's fig tree, the vine grower I put in" illustrates the time needed to have a balanced olive production. In Portugal, evidence of the presence of olive trees can be dated back to the Bronze Age, but it is attributed to the Romans for the expansion of its cultivation in this country.
In Serpa, where there are numerous vestiges of Roman roads, bridges and buildings, and where the Farm de Maria da Guarda is located, there are the ruins of the City of Roses, as well as the remains of oil presses from ancient times that testify to the millenary vocation of ownership and the region in olive growing.
From the twelfth century the Portuguese oil, of excellence for food becomes one of the main export products, being in 1650 the most exported good to England.
The oil of Portugal, especially appreciated by our kings, had a special impulse with John III who in 1555 decreed that oil, bread and wine would never be taxed. Our entire feat is rich in stories written, read and told in the light of an oil lamp and famous for good meals accompanied by precious oil, in castles, monasteries and palaces. At every step the stones of Portugal speak to us of the excellence of oil and its various uses for lighting, health, war or just for food.

I've been on a journey of self-exploration for several months now. And during that journey I've discovered a few things, and become frustrated, and I've run in circles trying to "figure it out" like some math problem that I can't solve.

Imperial Palace has unveiled two new wedding chapels.
The Skyline Chapel can accommodate up to 80 guests. This chapel looks really nice. I'm guessing it's comparable to some of the nicer chapels on the Strip at a fraction of the price.
The Southwestern Chapel is a smaller 20 person venue. It obviously has a very different look. The theme kind of reminds me of The Little Church of the West. I'm not so sure about this one. I think some people will be turned off by the faux background.
Imperial Palace is likely going to be de-themed and transformed into a contemporary American design as part of The Linq. These new chapels definitely reflect that new design scheme.

Pathway trio earn national recognition
Derbyshire under 18s duo, Archie Harrison and Yousaf bin Naeem, have been called-up to the Midlands team for the upcoming ECB Super Fours, while under 15s batter, Harry Moore, has been selected for the Bunbury Festival.
Moore is Derbyshire's leading Pathway run-scorer this season, with 506 runs across 14 innings, at an average of 42.17 and a stunning high-score of 165, which came in a 50-over game against Cheshire in May.
The youngster will be hoping to once again stand out when he plays for the Midlands under 15s at the legendary Bunbury Festival, facing the North team on Tuesday 19 July.
Following in the footsteps of fellow Academy players, Mitch Wagstaff and Nafis Shaikh, Harrison and bin Naeem will feature for the Midlands Super Fours team in the five-day tournament at Loughborough, which takes place at the end of July. The Midlands Super Fours team will also be led by Derbyshire Head of Talent Pathway, Daryn Smit.
Harrison's form within the Academy this season, which has seen him score 166 runs in just three innings, including a century in a recent game against Cheshire Cricket Board under 18s, has seen him included in the Second XI Championship squad.
Yousaf bin Naeem has 402 runs, including four half-centuries, at an average of 44.67, having made the step up to under 18s cricket this season.

Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs There are two schools of thought when it comes to performance reviews. People tend to either view them as an opportunity for feedback and growth or spend all year dreading the awkward discussion chocked full of criticism. How you, and even your employees, view performance reviews is really up to you. Rather than seeing these reviews as an annoyance or as confrontational, think of them as a checkpoint to measure how far an employee has come and where their path is heading.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to performance reviews. People tend to either view them as an opportunity for feedback and growth or spend all year dreading the awkward discussion chocked full of criticism. How you, and even your employees, view performance reviews is really up to you. Rather than seeing these reviews as an annoyance or as confrontational, think of them as a checkpoint to measure how far an employee has come and where their path is heading.
Although performance reviews can be a golden opportunity, they often turn out to be counter-productive wastes of time because of small mistakes managers make that quickly add up. When you think of the many performance review mistakes we have probably all made at one time or another, it's understandable that employees wouldn't excitedly count down the days until their next one. To make the most of your performance reviews, take a look at the top ten mistakes managers make and take note of what not to do.
Winging it – I have no doubt that you can muddle your way through a meeting with little to no preparation but performance reviews are not the time to practice your improv skills. Give your employee the respect they deserve by taking time beforehand to think about their performance or even taking a look at past work so you can give a fair and informed review.
Vague City – If your performance review for an employee could be taken and the names be switched and it still be relevant, your review is too vague. While vague reviews may protect employees' feelings and be easier to write, they are not productive. Be specific in your criticism and in your praise. After all, if an employee doesn't know what you are and aren't happy with, they won't know to repeat or cease those actions. A vague performance review is about as useful as no review at all.
Nothing but the bad – While performance reviews are certainly the time to discuss weaknesses and potential areas of growth, an effective performance review gives comprehensive feedback on both the good and the bad. Performance reviews that only focus on the negative are exactly the reason employees dread these reviews.
Nothing but the good – On the other hand, some managers either don't want to or don't know how to give negative feedback, so they only talk about what the employee is doing right. It goes without saying that even the most talented employee can grow, meaning the discussion about what they can improve on should be happening in every performance reviews. It's great to praise the successes but learning from failures is also an opportunity to improve.
Not thinking 'what's in it for me?' – Many managers see performance reviews as only benefiting the employee receiving the review but in all actuality, the manager is also benefitting. Performance reviews essentially help you get what you want or need from the employee. Not only can they help to improve employee performance but also they can be a time for you to reevaluate processes and duties. In the same way you're helping your employee perform better through feedback, give you and your department a boost as well by evaluating your successes and failures, especially in relation to your employee receiving the review.
It only happens once in a blue moon – With busy schedules, performance reviews often fall to the bottom of many managers' to-do lists. However, performance reviews must become a priority because providing one review every two years is about as productive as going to the gym once a month. Without regular reviews, you have no benchmarks and no opportunity to measure improvement.
Popularity contest – All too often managers base their reviews on their own relationship with the person or opinions they have formed about them. Bias has no place in performance reviews and instincts have very little to do with them as well. If you have a bias or relationship with the person you're reviewing, find a way to check it at the door.
Short-term memory – it's an easy thing to only remember the recent happening with your projects but when it comes time to review, thing beyond your employees' latest successes or failures. Since they don't work on a freelance basis, you have no reason to only judge their work based on one project.
No plan of attack – In employee reviews there are typically discussions about what is up next to accomplish and what challenges they will face in the coming year. However, the vital part of accomplishing these goals is never discussed or outlined. Formulate a plan of attack together with the employee so that expectations are clear and there will be measurables at the performance review.
All talk and no listen – While you are probably obligated to provide constructive feedback, you don't have to talk the whole time. In fact, you'll likely gain some new insight if you take a moment to listen to what your employee is saying. Find out about their opinion of their work, their career goals and what they believe both they and the department could improve on.
What other habitual mistakes have you seen in performance reviews? Let us know in the comments below.
I am a service manager in a busy construction equipment repair shop. I find it best to build a review form and have the employee fill it out and review themselves. I gill out the same form and then schedule a time to have the review. during the review we go over the form together. that way I can get real feel for how the employee thinks and feels.

Mexico overtakes UK to have world's third-most COVID-19 deaths
آگوست 1, 2020 آگوست 1, 2020 از newsshans
By Dale Quinn
MEXICO CITY _ Mexico has overtaken the U.K. to become the country with the third-most deaths from COVID-19, according to data released by the Health Ministry Friday night. Reported fatalities rose 688 from Thursday to reach 46,688, the data show.
The number of cases rose by a daily record of 8,458 to 424,637. The U.K. has 46,204 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
The high death rate in Mexico indicates actual cases may be much higher. In Brazil, which is No. 2 behind the U.S. with the most number of cases and deaths, the fatality rate is about twice that of Mexico, while cases are about six times higher.
Mexico has been criticized for its lack of testing, leaving officials without information about the illness's spread. Deputy Health Minister Hugo Lopez-Gatell, who's leading the country's response on the virus, has acknowledged that while actual cases are much higher than official counts, the Health Ministry's testing strategy is effective in tracking outbreaks.
As Mexico increasingly becomes a hotspot, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has largely focused on reactivating the economy over enacting strict lockdowns. He's also downplayed the importance of using masks to slow the virus's spread. In remarks July 25, he acknowledged the pandemic has hit the country hard and led to many deaths. He attributed the toll to the prevalence of chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
Even so, the president maintained the spread of the virus is slowing.
"There are signs coronavirus infections are decreasing and fortunately, even though there have been deaths and it's something that's very painful, no one in Mexico has been left without medical attention," Lopez Obrador said. "Hospitals haven't been saturated because we're alert. We're addressing the problem in a timely and responsible way."

No, you're not schizophrenic, nor are you psychotic. Nor am I. We all have a voice in our heads. In some instances it's the voice of a judgemental or critical parent who may be very much alive, or who may have died decades ago. But the voice persists. In other instances it's a negative, worrying voice that may not have a particular origin in a specific person in our childhood, but nevertheless, it's a pervasive voice that keeps us in control with its thoughts of stress, worry or defeat. Other voices speak to us of the impossibility of forgiving the unforgiveable, of the undeniable right we have of continuing to wallow in the pain of our past wounds, or of the clear fact that because we were born into this family, this circumstance, or this country, it is impossible for us to achieve this or that.
So what exactly is this voice? Quite simply, it is our thoughts. What can we do to change this voice? The very first step to take, is to become conscious of our thoughts. And we can easily do that by always paying attention to how we feel. If an individual does not feel good emotionally or psychologically, it is always because of thoughts. Yes, admittedly, something disastrous may have happened, but the thoughts that then follow, are what then determine how you feel. How to change those thoughts is the next part of the process, but first: simply begin to continually pay attention to how you feel. Become aware because as long as you are not aware, you will not be able to change the thoughts that plague you. Practice observing your feelings every day. They will unveil your thoughts to you.
For much more about becoming aware of your thoughts and feelings, about your self-talk, and about the self-transformational process - both in your outer life in the world, and in your inner life with your connection to your inner, divine self, have a look at my book Rewiring the Soul: Finding the Possible Self (paperback or e-book).

Kentucky volleyball sweeps Florida, remains undefeated in SEC
Hailey Peters
The promised tricks and treats for Halloween night's game were delivered with Kentucky volleyball's sweep of the other major power in the SEC.
Kentucky volleyball overcame one of its most anticipated face-offs of its season against the Florida Gators on Wednesday night. The Halloween surprises that the Cats pulled during the match attributed to a dazed opponent, extending the Cats' win streak to 14 matches. The Cats' record improves to 17-4, remaining undefeated in the SEC.
"I think we've just been playing really well recently all around," said sophomore setter Madison Lilley. "Our offense was rolling tonight, and our passing was really good."
Immediately in the first set, both the Gators and the Cats proved that the high anticipation surrounding this game was rightfully deserved. The Gators showed they were hungry to knock Kentucky off its first-place throne in the SEC, and the Cats responded by showing that they were ready. The Cats used tips and emphatic kills that landed just inside of the lines to effectively throw the Gators off guard. Kentucky was halfway to the set victory already by the time Florida managed to score its first seven points.

PHOTOS: Kentucky volleyball sweeps Florida
The second part of set one continued to test both teams with long rallies and tricky plays. After an intense kill from middle hitter Kendyl Paris that ended one of the set's longest rallies that was immediately followed by the second service ace from the Cats, the Gators put forth all they had in an attempt to claim the first set. Their efforts ended in multiple attack errors, continuing to give the Wildcats an edge. With the teams tying in the number of kills, the Gators managed to slightly narrow the gap in scoring. However, the Wildcats brought the heat that they knew was required to dominate one of their fiercest rivals yet, and they took the set 25-15.
Florida seemed as if they would tie the match early on in the second set, but with clean kills from Brooke Morgan and Leah Edmond, the Cats continued to challenge the Gators' abilities. That coupled with several attack and ball-handling errors gave the Cats the slight edge in the beginning. When Florida threatened to take over the lead, the Wildcats brought more Halloween tricks, like Lilley's kill on their first hit of the play, to keep the Gators on their toes.
After a strategic timeout by Florida, the second half of the set intensified. Edmond proved that her SEC player of the week title was well-deserved with three consecutive kills, one of which was from the back row. Throughout the whole set, Kentucky's lead was much narrower than in the first set. The Gators remained resilient with surprises of their own for the Wildcats. Kentucky responded to the best of its ability, but ended up with several self-inflicted attack errors and kills to which they could not respond.
On Lilley's serve, the Cats scored six straight points and gave the Gators a true challenge in taking the set. Through an extremely long-fought set with several close moments, the Wildcats took the set with Alli Stumler's seventh kill of the match. Florida scored 18 points in the set.
"By the third set you're getting kinda tired cause you're serving so much," Edmond said. "You never know what they're gonna give you... it's good for keeping us honest and making us have to actually read."
Going for the sweep, the Wildcats continued their streak of intense play— but the Gators had to bring more to the table to be able to upset the Wildcats. They forced longer rallies, began successfully blocking hits, and caused the Cats to think on their feet like they were not required to do in the last two sets. Just like the first two, this set began with Kentucky in the lead. The Gators struggled through the first half trying to conquer the Cats.
With Kentucky's offense reaching new levels of challenging, the Gators had to respond quickly. When many of Kentucky's star players of this game were subbed out, the Gators seemed to take advantage of new opportunities to score. They began targeting the weaker areas of the Wildcats' defense in an effort to take the match back. But with a hitting percentage that more than tripled that of the Gators, the Wildcats did not let up. In one of the longest, most challenging three-set matches of their season, the Cats swept the Florida Gators, who scored 20 points in the set, with a final, clean kill by Edmond.
This win ties the current win streak with the longest under head coach Craig Skinner. He attributes the successful sweep to the heavy pressure that the Cats' offense put on the Gators combined with the hard practicing that focused on the defense.
"Our floor defense has been a big improvement over the last few weeks." Skinner said. "[Lilley] was insistent a lot, so she had options to set and she made some great decisions. [The team] were scheming on some players early in the match and she recognized that."
The Wildcats will be in Oxford, Mississippi, on Sunday, where they will face the Ole Miss Rebels for the second time this season at 2:30 p.m.

It is argued that her archaising art, with their subjects innovatively drawn from the British ballads, and with their blocks of strong, vivid colour, are at the forefront of Pre-Raphaelite medieivalizing. Her works often address the position of women in contemporary society, some take there inspiration from poetry, and other from religious, Christian, subjects. The essays investigates the development of her themes and motifs, her contributions to Pre-Raphaelit exhibitions, her patrons and sales. Her self-portrait is compared to the numerous images of her, to address her interventions as an artist and as a model into the new visual cultures of modernity and their representations of women.
