Sleeping With Other People (15) | Close-Up Film Review
December 31, 2015 Dan Woburn	Adam Scott, Alison Brie, Amanda Peet, Jason Mantzoukas, Jason Sudeikis, Marc Blucas, Natasha Lyonne, Sleeping With Other People, When Harry Met Sally...
Dir: Leslye Headland, US, 2015, 101 mins
Cast: Jason Sudeikis, Alison Brie, Jason Mantzoukas, Amanda Peet, Adam Scott, Natasha Lyonne, Marc Blucas
Director Leslye Headland, whose last effort Bachelorette played out like a highly cynical version of Bridesmaids, is back with her own 21st Century version of When Harry Met Sally. Sleeping With Other People bears a lot of similarities to Rob Reiner's late 80s classic romcom, and it's not a bad thing. Not least the fact that the characters here are actually likable – which is something Headland forgot to include in the aforementioned Bachelorette (and a big part of the reason her second directorial outing is much more enjoyable than her first).
The story follows former college one-night-standers Jake (Sudeikis) and Lainey (Brie) who, years after losing their virginity to one another, reconnect at a Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting, of all places. Their renewed chemistry is obvious, but so is their respective emotional baggage – which leads to the pair agreeing to remain friends, with a safeword for when their sexual tension gets too intense. No prizes for which directions the story takes.
Yet where the plot lacks originality, it makes up for it with relatable, affable characters. Jake is an arsehole when it comes to women, but he knows it; he also knows the reason that he so quickly goes from woman to woman is that really he's seeking 'the one'. It doesn't excuse his behaviour, but it explains it. He is an intensely likable guy, as Sudeikis is always wont to be – intelligent and quick-witted, and loyal to his friends (at least).
Lainey has been hung up on one unavailable man for ten years (Adam Scott, almost unrecognisable as uptight OBGYN Matthew), and is a victim of her own absurd certainty that this is the perfect man for her – a fact that she knows to be absurd. The best part about Headland's characters here isn't just that they are flawed (as all good characters should be), but the fact that they know their flaws, and are helpless before them. As in real life, it takes the actions of those closest to us to pull us out of our self-destructive doldrums.
Alison Brie continues to prove herself worthy of a position as a leading lady; she's as funny as the rest of any cast she finds herself in, on top of somehow being adorable and sexy all at the same time. It's presumably the combination of those big, doe eyes and that husky voice. Her Lainey is sympathetic to the point of men in the audience being able to relate to her personality quirks as much as women. Her chemistry with Sudeikis is great and she doesn't run the risk of getting lost in his (unintentionally) overly-domineering, charismatic presence, as can happen with a lot of actresses paired with the man.
Although that initial plot – and the majority of trajectories it treads – are fairly rote, there are still surprises to be had in the way the film plays out. There are unexpected sidebars and time jumps, enough to keep jaded viewers interested enough as the ride goes on. Where the film does step into cliché from time to time, Headland throws us a new curveball with which to renew our attention (although they may not come quickly enough from time to time).
In regards to the film being a modern homage to Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan's oft-mentioned/much-revered 1989 classic, there's a lot of 2015 sensibility plugged into the film – be it Jake and Lainey's MDMA-fuelled trip to a kid's birthday party, which gets some of the biggest laughs of the whole movie, or Jake teaching Lainey how to orgasm via the example of an empty jam jar (this scene in particular feels like the Milennial's version of "I'll have what she's having".)
But the real similarity to When Harry Met Sally comes, obviously, in the form of two characters simply always being in the right place at the wrong time in regards to one another. It's a story that works well because many people in real life have been through something similar – we all have our ones that got away. Leslye Headland merely brings that story roaring into the 21st Century with all the wit and skill at her command. There is, unfortunately, something lost in the telling – a feeling that Jake and Laicey should realise so much earlier on that what's best for them is right in front of them, and it's that frustration that will perhaps stop some viewers from fully enjoying Sleeping With Other People.
It's ultimately up to viewers to decide whether the two main characters' emotional hang-ups adequately explain why they shouldn't be together. At times it's believable, and explains various personality tics and self-destructive moves on the part of these people, but at others it can't help but feel like a reason for the film to extend itself to 101 minutes. Whatever the reason for the lagging plot, be it in-universe or otherwise, those who know what they're going the cinema to see shouldn't be disappointed. Namely, entertaining interaction between two romantic leads who have great chemistry, along with an extremely solid cast of supporting characters.
Speaking of supporting characters, it's always a joy to see Jason Mantzoukas as the quirky best friend/business partner – ironically playing a serious version of a role he recently parodied in the underrated romcom spoof They Came Together. As far as I'm concerned, Mantzoukas is worth the price of admission in any film he's in ever.

Belles look to bounce back at Eagle Invitational
Sean Kilmer | Wednesday, October 8, 2014
After a weekend off, the Belles will be back in action Friday when they travel to the Benedictine Eagle Invitational in Lisle, Illinois.
Benedictine University will host the invitational, which gives Saint Mary's an opportunity to bounce back from a tough fifth-placed result at the MIAA Jamboree two weeks ago. In that race, the Belles finished just four points behind rival Alma. Belles coach Jacqueline Bauters said she is looking to build on a strong past few days of practice.
"Since [the jamboree] I think the team has been even more motivated to perform, as they were disappointed with their overall finish," Bauters said. "They have put in some high-quality workouts and we are looking for dramatic improvements in times, due to training, change in course, etc."
At the jamboree, which counts for one-third of the final conference standings, freshman Natalie Hawkes and sophomore Brittany Beeler led the Belles, finishing 18th and 20th with times of 24:43 and 24:57, respectively. The other runners that made up the Belles' top five all finished amongst the top 30. Despite this effort, however, Alma edged the Belles by four points, even though its fifth runner did not finish among the top-40 racers. Bauters said she wants her team to be even stronger this weekend.
"I haven't seen the full list of teams competing yet, or seen the course, we should have both [Thursday]," Bauters said. "However, I would like our ladies to be competitive and mentally tough on Friday."
With crunch time approaching, Bauters said her team is focusing on being in the best position to succeed Friday.
"As all students know, it is getting towards crunch time," Bauters said. "And there is also a lot of sickness going around, so we are trying to stay healthy and rested so we are as prepared as possible for a great race."
The starting gun at the Benedictine Eagle Invitational will fire Friday at 4:00 p.m. in Lisle, Illinois.

Review by Chris Pratl on April 3, 2020.
Drenched in base nepotism as I am, metal from my hometown is always a welcome and encompassing thing for two reasons: first, we here in Chicago and the surrounding areas have always had a very intense and solid scene, rife with impressive and talented bands, and second, because I truly feel Chicago gets lost in the proverbial shuffle of geographical accolades, usually caught somewhere between New York and California in a din of afterthought dismissal. We have a proud lineage, and Imperial Savagery, a band born-and-bred on the south side of the city, is another working-class cog making some severely destructive noise.
It's been a long six years since the bands battering self-titled debut, but the hiatus has done nothing to indicate that the follow-up, "Lashing the Feral Swine", has diminished the band's violent uprising against the oppressive Christian regime; actually, in short, the band's dark and dismal call to arms is one that simply entices total submission to the task.
I believe it was Glenn Danzig who once remarked, to paraphrase, that he doesn't give his friends any passes with their music; if it's good, it's good, but if it sucks, well, like it and lump it. I've always staunchly adhered to the very same philosophy; I care and covet this music far too much to pass along tripe as passable entertainment, so you can only imagine how good it makes me feel to hear something like "Lashing the Feral Swine" and feel a sense of pride that the band is not only great but people I consider longtime friends. Imperial Savagery offers nine tracks in just under 30-minutes, and what you hear is death metal on a veritable fog of dense and caustic display. This time around the production is much crisper and sharper, with every instrument viable and discernible in the mix. That said, the heavy sense of dark wonder is not subverted by any means.
The opening track, 'Churchgate Proclamation' is a proverbial banger, showing that the band has not lost a step and has found even stronger footing. Brice Dalzell's vocal howl is an ethereal chasm with which to get lost in, seemingly beckoning you to enter the infernal gates of free will. In a mire of same-old when it comes to death metal vocals, Dalzell certainly manages to incite all the right feelings of subjugation within the confines of his style that has to be heard to be appreciated. Pat Clancy (bass), Garrett Scanlan (drums) and Tom Flanagan (guitars) round out a collective that takes the evil tone perpetuated early on by Venom, early Celtic Frost, and Immolation and force-feeds it to the willing listener. Galloping through tracks like 'Vengeance Over Virtue,' 'Burned Upon Rebirth,' and 'Kiloton Crucifix Detonation,' which is one of the most definitive slabs of death I've heard in a while, proving that Flanagan is a true magistrate of some dark chords. There simply isn't a filler piece anywhere, and the tracks seem to flow so effortlessly in an almost conceptual pattern that tells a horror story passed through the ages on any given Sunday. I'm not quite sure if that "pattern" was intentional or my just hearing a line throughout, but it emitted a perfect haze of rage and warning.
If you enjoy your death metal with a hint or ten of evil, truly competent and attentive musicianship and lyrical study with which to convert, Imperial Savagery is your necessary implement. "Lashing the Feral Swine" is an organic jaunt into the bleak and enslaving world of religious oppression, offering the ready mind both enlightenment and instruction to the centuries of blind fear-mongering. There is no finer example of religious instruction this side of Jerusalem – it needs to be heard. Horror Pain Gore Death Productions did a great job signing these guys, and hopefully they get the deserved attention awaiting such brutal honesty and reverse-catechism.

Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?
Nope. I've never seen this many females in a Middle Eastern country drive by themselves... - Jan 2022
Less than you would expect in this region. Omanis are known for being egalitarian and polite, which is very accurate. - Dec 2018
Not for us Americans. The Indian and Bangladeshi laborers are treated pretty horribly. I have watched Omanis at the grocery store shove these folks aside while waiting in the checkout line - literally insisting they give up their spot towards the front of the line versus waiting back 10 people. It's awful. There are regular gatherings of Indians next door at the Indian embassy who are there to report they haven't been paid their wages in many many months. They live in labor camps with 40 men sleeping side by side on the floor. - Feb 2018
Local women are usually stay-at home moms and don't work. In recent years there has been a hard effort on the part of the locals to employ more women and fight for equal rights for both genders. As far as the expat community is concerned, there is no prejudices or concerns. - Aug 2017
Omanis in general are very tolerant of other religions and women have many more freedoms here than other Muslim countries. But, there are still many limitations on appropriate dress for women. - Oct 2014
Nothing overt or pronounced, but bias does exist. Religions are practiced openly here. - Jun 2012
No. Oman is a very open country. With many Indian and Filipino catholics here, and Indians of various religious denominations. There are many places of worship here. - May 2012
None! - Aug 2011
there are some undercurrents amoung some of the local Omanies regarding non Oman Muslims - Feb 2011
There is a caste system of sorts, but white collar expats are at the top. I was saddened at least to see how domestic help was treated by nationals. - Apr 2010
Again, the single blond female will have times where they are harassed and if your Asian, Indian decent and even if your a white collar expat you will be harassed. There are I think 2 places of worship for Christians and as long as your not trying to convert you'll do fine. You cannot have official or even informal religious gatherings in your home. - Feb 2010
If you are East Asian or South Asian, Omanis automatically assume you are a blue-collar guest worker and may badly mistreat or ignore you. Once they figure out that you're someone of consequence (e.g., a diplomat!), the attitude improves considerably, but it can be tiring being treated poorly on a regular basis by people who don't know who you are. As for religious/gender prejudice, I'm sure that as a conservative Islamic society Oman does exhibit some behaviors that we would consider prejudicial towards non-Muslims and women, but nothing like what you hear about surrounding countries. - Jan 2010
Overall, Muscat is very moderate for an Islamic capital and the Omanis are tolerant people. Dressing modestly and behaving appropriately- no loud or public displays of affection- go a long way in how you are treated. Asian Americans have reported having more issues when mistaken for imported laborers. - Mar 2009
Oman is still in many ways a traditional Arab society and definitely a Muslim one. Women do work, have basic civil rights, and even hold high government posts. Because of the country's ties to East Africa and especially Zanzibar, there is a strong African influence in some ways, but also some color prejudice. Asian expatriates report sometimes being condescended to, as a result of the large number of Indian and Philippine-national laborers and domestics inteh country. There is basic religious freedom but all non-Muslim worship and display is discreet. - Feb 2008


Brethren: When Christ shall appear, Who is your Life, then you also shall appear with Him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is the service of idols. For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of unbelief, in which you also walked some time, when you lived in them. But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth. Lie not one to another: stripping yourselves of the old man with his deeds, and putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge, according to the image of Him that created him. Where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free. But Christ is all, and in all.
The Lord spoke this parable: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many. And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come, for now all things are ready. And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused. And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them: I pray thee, hold me excused. And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the feeble, and the blind, and the lame. And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the Lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. But I say unto you, that none of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.


In the most recent interview, Cory Johnson, Ripple's chief marketing strategist, stated that Ripple had discussed XRP with the Trump administration.
When Johnson was asked about the Trump administration's opinion about Ripple, he told Breaker that the White House is currently deeply researching crypto.
"There's clearly a lot of homework going on. The White House, in particular, seems to be thinking about what it means to have 80 percent of bitcoin mining taking place in China and a majority of Ether mining taking place in China," he said.
Johnson continued and said that with XRP, there's no mining and from a foreign-control aspect, or from an environmental one, the coin is different. It seems that this matters a lot for the White House.
Johnson did not offer any details regarding how high the discussions went or who are the company's contacts in the administration.
He did say that they are in regular talks with Washington and they meet with regulators as politicians as well.
Ripple reportedly has a whole team that is devoted to doing this, not just in the US but across the globe.
Regarding the issue whether the US SEC will decide to classify XRP as a security, Johnson said that the day may never come at all.
He said that he believes the SEC Does not really want to be in a position where they have to comment on every single coin out there.
Another thing worth mentioning regarding the nature of XRP is that a former SEC employee already touched the subject.
Michael Didiuk who is a former employee of the US Securities and Exchange Commission addressed the nature of XRP.
He said that the crypto is not a security, but a currency and he also made sure to justify his statement, using the Howey test to prove the nature of XRP.

"The Amazon rainforest, covering much of northwestern Brazil and extending into Colombia, Peru and other South American countries, is the world's largest tropical rainforest, famed for its immense biodiversity. It's crisscrossed with thousands of rivers, the most exceptional being the powerful Amazon. River towns, with 19th-century architecture dating to rubber-boom days, include Brazil's Manaus and Belém, and Peru's Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado."
Two of my best friends visited from Arizona for an amazing trip to the Amazon. We met in Lima, flew to the remote city of Iquitos, and then took a boat about 90 minutes down the Amazon River to our lodge. We stayed at the Heliconia Amazon River Lodge for four days and three nights.
These are some of highlights from our adventure-packed stay. To save time, much of the copy in the post below was taking from the itinerary briefs on their website.
First stop, Monkey Island, a family social enterprise focused on conserving and protecting endangered monkey species in the Northern Amazon. Their goal is to enlighten rainforest guests on the effort to reintegrate monkeys and their survival in the wild. The monkeys are free in this reserve, not in cages, and their temporary stay here depends on their capability to adapt back to its jungle habitat.
After a little rest we were set off to a Native Fishing expedition unto one of the small tributaries of the Amazon River. We learned the local techniques of fishing and tried our hands at fishing for Piranhas. I managed to catch a handful of Piranhas, but none large enough to bring home for dinner. During this excursion we also had the opportunity to look for the Pink River Dolphin. We found two, and were able to hang around them for about 20 minutes, but I wasn't able to capture a good photo.
In our first afternoon we set out to a jungle hike into the Yanamono primary rainforest reserve, for approximately two hours accompanied by our guide. He showed us several flora species such as heliconia flowers, medicinal plants and giant trees. We also had the chance to sight several birds species, a wide variety of insects and spiders, and my favorite, Poison Dart Frogs! I was particularly excited to find quite a few Dendrobates Reticulatus, a tiny red-backed frog the size of your thumbnail, that I used to have as pets bad in the States.
In order to see the birds during their morning feeding time, the day started early at 5:30am. By boat we ventured up one of the several streams to look out for a number of variety of birds. We found birds such as the Capped Heron, Tuki, Ringed Kingfisher, Black-Collared Hawk, Greater Ani, among others.
These are NOT my photos. It was impossible to get a steady shot from the boat.
We boarded a boat towards a lake in Yanamono island where we were able to glimpse the Giant Water Lily, the Victoria Regia, the "Queen of water lilies". Now renamed Victoria Amazonica, these native flora in the shallow waters of the Amazon River basin are mostly found in oxbow lakes and bayous. Flowers are white as they bloom on the first night and turn pink on the second night after blooming. They can grow to 40cm in diameter. On this excursion we also found several sloths, but they were high in the trees, too far for a good photo.
Between excursions, I spent most of my time exploring the jungle near the lodge looking for whatever kind of fauna I could find. I discovered all sorts of tarantulas, beautiful orb weavers, and other spiders I didn't know existed. There was grasshoppers with every color of the rainbow, and beetles wearing gold plated armor.
I'm not terribly well versed in the types of flora in the rainforest, but that doesn't mean I'm not just as interested in it. The wide variety of fungi was particularly fascinating.
We went on an evening trek to witness the entrancing transformation from daytime to a night atmosphere. The rainforest takes on a very different character as you become aware of the existence and habits of nocturnal jungle animals. It's the best time to see tree frogs, snakes, and other rainforest creatures that only come out at night.
While it would have been exciting to see a caiman in the wild, we had no such luck on our search. Thankfully, we stopped by an animal rescue and rehabilitation center, where we saw plenty of caiman and so much more. We got up close and personal with playful monkeys, stunning Tucans, and was even able to hold a Sloth and Anaconda.
We visited a riverside town to see an indigenous tribe of the Yaguas community where we had the opportunity to learn and see their way of life in the Amazon River. We saw their homes, school, church, shops and interacted with the people, observing their customs and traditions to be enlightened by their unaffected and austere way of living.
We took a ten-minute boat ride up the river to a family farm for a Trapiche Treatin, a rustic sugar cane distillery located along the river. We learned how the locals process sugar cane extracts using horses and ferment sugar juice in wooden casks for some time to turn to liquor production (I was the horse, and pushed the giant crank in circles). We got a taste of the varied exotic beverages made from the sugar cane liquor and sugar by-products such as molasses.
Iquitos is a Peruvian port city and gateway to the jungle lodges and tribal villages of the northern Amazon. Its district of Belén is known for its massive open-air street market and rustic stilt houses lining the Itaya River. In the historic center, the Plaza de Armas is surrounded by European-influenced buildings dating to the region's turn-of-the-20th-century boom in rubber production. While attending one of the markets, I had to try a local delicacy called Suri. It's a deep-fried beetle larvae, or grub, of the Rhynchophorus palmarum, a palm weevil commonly found in the Amazon.


So since I broke a heel guard on the DanMoto rear sets, I figured I would make my own. I am using 1/8inch 6061 alumminum plate.
All cuts are done by hand with high speed grinder.
As you can see I made them slightly larger than stock.
The plan is to mach them up the way they are tonight and if they look good, I will smooth them out, clean up the edges and probably drill large holes in them so they have some kind of style to them.

Hmm interesting. I like the idea. I might try my hand at this. I think I'll do the guards closer to the look of the stock rear set heel guard tho. Those fit my foot nicely.
I did like the look of the stockers as well.
But when I was drawing it up they didnt look right with the rear sets, and I couldn't see away I could make them sit right and still look like they belonged on the rear set. So for this first run I decided to use the Danmoto design but make them a little larger.
One thing is for sure, I will not be bending these new ones with the pressure of my heel. This AL is stout!
The problem with the Carbon Fiber is its too flimsy, even with the bends in it. The flex wayyy too much. If you look closely you can see I broke the left side with my heel while turning, which is why I choose AL for the job this time.
It's really sketchy to come into a turn and hear a pop and all the sudden your foot and "heel guard" is skipping off the chain.
Here are some pictures of the broken "heel guard"
Ok, So here is the finished product.
I know I screwed the holes up a little bit so they aren't perfect, but still 100x better than the crappy carbon ones.
Still at work so I havent had the chance to check to see how they look on the bike once I do I will post more pictures.

Installed. I think they look good. Now going to strip them down and powder coat them.
Looks nice man. Isn't it fun making your own stuff?
Now you need to modify your sprocket cover and drill some speed holes. That would finish off the look in my opinion.
Fabrication is one of my favorite pastimes.
Thats something Ive been debating. Not sure if I should cut it all the way back to where the only thing that its there for is the slave. or if I should trim it back a little and drill holes like I did for these?
I have yet to do either because I dpnt know what I would like better.
Fabrication is one of my favorite pastimes as well.
Check out the Coerce sprocket guard vs OEM thread. There are some pictures of other stock sprocket covers that have been modified. Check those out and see what ideas your brain thinks of for your sprocket cover.


I listened to your You Tube presentation – very insightful and practical advise.
I value your view point on the subject of Fair or Intrinsic value of Bitcoin. Do you have any rough estimation of – the average cost of mining 1 BTC or one block? I know, electricity is the major [90%] cost. In my view, this cost will establish an Intrinsic Value of BTC – just like the how much it cost to produce 1 barrel of Oil [$60] or 1 ounce of Gold [$1,200] – it will give us a floor to the price of BTC.
If you like – I can be reached at Drramarao@aol.com. Hoping to hear from you.
I'm looking for someone to invest in an ethereum-based crypto project.

didn't in the last 15 tiles (or so) I worked on.
now. Educated guessing can't be too wrong I guess...?


Please pray for peace and stability in Mali where earlier this year the democratically-elected president was overthrown by a military coup. TTB has a ministry into this country in the French (African), Bambara, and Pulaar languages.
For the church in the Ivory Coast to take a lead in bringing reconciliation. Pray for refugees – especially children – who are fleeing the country scared, vulnerable, and often alone. Praise God the production and airing of programs continues.
From West Africa: I am a minister and I call to show you the interest of the population for your radio programs. The teachings of A Travers la Bible in the lives of our believers facilitate the pastoral ministry. Here, hundreds of listeners listen to the biblical teachings with interest and enjoyment and work on a change of mentality. All the glory is returned to the Lord.
From Cote d'Ivoire: I gave my life last year to God thanks to your programs in the hope of being transformed because my life was miserable. Today, I make a small trade and I cultivate a small field. Pray for me that God helps me to continue the walk with Him. My parents greet you and thank you.
From Cote d'Ivoire: I am Moslem. Since some time I listen to you on the radio here in the border of Cote d'Ivoire and Mali. Your teaching allows me to open my eyes on some preoccupations that I had since long time about God. Having received light by your message, I come to tell you that I decided to give myself to that God you preach, in order to have eternal life. Pray for me because I don't dare to face the looks of my Moslem parents. To take the path of the church I fear the violent reactions of their part.
From Cote d'Ivoire: I obeyed your message that I listen on Sinai radio here in the North of Côte d'Ivoire, and it made me well. Indeed, I had been married to an old man at the age of 10 years by force. Today I'm 32. And because of the fact that I didn't have the opportunity to enjoy my childhood nor my youth life, I did hate my husband and his parents too. So I decided to have an affair with a young man of my age. When I learned through your program what could happen to the liar and especially to the adulterer, I was touched and I decided to stop this extra relation and to leave this falsity. I spoke to your God as you said, the love I had for the young man disappeared and I had another look for my aged husband. I began to love his parents. Today, I am in peace. Pray for me because I have the intention to explain everything to my husband in the goal to ask him to let me go to church.
From Cote d'Ivoire: I would like you to pray a lot for me because my family persecutes me. As I'm a new Christian I can forsake Jesus' hand if I'm not strong. Sustain me because I don't want to depart from Jesus. My family prevents me to listen to you but I hide and listen to the broadcast through my cell phone and I see that God makes me good.
What are you learning as you study God's Word?

We are long time looking for virtualization platform that would allow decent quality of 3D graphics and modeling applications. It includes but is not limited to AutoCAD, Tribon M3, Vanatage Marine and Smart Marine 3D modeling applications. These programs use 3D shade models that we have to move, rotate, change geometry , etc.
Due to different reasons Citrix XenDesktop and HDX-3D Pro is not an option for us.
So the main objective was to check does the new product VMware View 5 really support 3D and OpenG L 2.1 and does it provide better end user experience compareing to Microsoft Hyper-V and RemoreFX.
RemoteFX requires and make use of additional GPU, while VMware has no such requirements in order to handle 3D and OpenGL.
We tested using HP ProLiant DL370 G6 server equiped with 72 GB RAM, 8 x SAS HDD in RAID 1+0 and two GPU cards NVidia Quadro 2000.
Remote 3D performance was slightly better on VMware View 5, but not so good to justify the additional licenses cost of EURO 1,600 approximately for 10 virtual machines.
For comparison - using Hyper-V on Windows server creating a new LUNs on the servers internal disk array is as simple as 1, 2, 3. It takes less than 5 minutes to create the new LUN and to put it in use. No need to reboot the server. Even more, if the guest VM that needs more storage is Windows 2008 or Windows 7 we do not need to stop even that particular virtual machine.
Obviously, no body would pay for consultancy more than the cost of of the software itself.
It is of course different story why some IT companies do not educate their staff in the new software trends and solutions available.


Google Photos – Page 2 – Learn Picasa and Google Photos!
Photos on your computer, or photos on your Cloud account? In my world, those two concepts are swapping places. I am transitioning from being computer-centric to being cloud-centric. There are 2 reasons for this transition. First, the sheer volume of pictures we take with our smartphones is overwhelming – we need an automatic way of dealing with them or they will simply get lost. There are not enough hours in the day to get those photos to the computer and organize them! Secondly, Google is redesigning their photo tools. They're giving us free online storage for an unlimited number of pictures so let's take advantage of it. Google sees the future more clearly than most of us, and the future of photo storage is all online.
I used to keep all my photos on my computer – I call that my Master Library. I captioned, edited and organized them, using Picasa, all on my computer. Then I uploaded only those best photos that I wanted to share with friends and family.
My computer (and external hard drive) held thousands of photos – all my originals.
My online (cloud) account held hundreds – just the best ones.
Now I take most of my pictures with my phone and those pictures can automatically be uploaded (aka backed up) to my online account in the cloud. Using Google Photos, I can edit and organize them all in the cloud – no computer necessary at all! I can pick my best pictures and make online albums with just those pictures that I want to share. My private, cloud-based (online), account now holds the thousands of pictures I take and separate shared albums hold my best. If I want pictures on my computer, I can download just those best ones in the shared albums.
Change is hard. I've had a workflow procedure for the last 5 years that works great, I collected all pictures on my computer where I used Picasa to pick and edit the best ones and then upload. The only difficult part was getting the pictures from my phone to the computer and that was handled pretty nicely with Dropbox. The new procedure is easy. Photos automatically go to your account in the cloud, using Google's high resolution setting you have unlimited storage space for free. All your photos – I call it my Master Library – are available for viewing from any device and Google gives you many wonderful ways to just see what you want. The problem is that there a few pieces missing. And, some of those pieces are very important to me.
It's automatic – no work involved to collect pictures from multiple mobile devices. They all go to your Google account, a private photo-warehouse in the cloud.
Google tools for viewing your photos are amazing. Search for anything you want to see and Google instantly finds them from your thousands of pictures.
Your pictures are instantly shareable because they're already online.
Basic editing tools actually do a better job than Picasa, and there are even better tools in the companion Snapseed app.
Picasa capabilities missing in Google Photos: captions, watermark, visual indicator for best pictures, text on picture. Captions is the most critical to me.
Changing my workflow is a work in process while I get used to Google Photos. The new features of Google Photos are just SO good, I must use it, so I need to find work-arounds for the things I am missing. Please use the comments below to let me know what you think.

The Seabee was Republic's answer to the post war, civillian market-a family plane that could go anywhere.

JoM Holocaust | Introduction
They say that architecture is frozen music. The Holocaust section of the Jewish Online Museum is not intended to be a mournful song. But neither is it about the sound of silence. Visit the articles, listen to the interviews and read the biographies of some of those Jewish New Zealanders who have suffered and lived to tell their stories.
The stunning singularity of the Holocaust, its difference in kind from any other collective human experience, was the savagery of its attention to Jews—the six million who perished as a direct consequence, but millions of others whose lives were also directly scarred, displaced or deprived, as part of the Nazi drive to rid the world not only of Jewry but all things non-Aryan.
Far-flung New Zealand is about as distant as one can geographically get from the European death camps. So it's sometimes easy for us to forget or to think of it as another world. Not only for the obvious reasons of space and time, but because many of the survivors who did make it to our shores went on to seamlessly fit with the local culture.
Yet to neglect the origins of these New Zealanders would be to betray the context their life stories, snapshots of which we have attempted here to preserve and present.
Something else. Holocaust deniers, thankfully, are relatively few in civilised circles, and probably fewer still in New Zealand than almost anywhere else. But if their "arguments" are dismissed, rightly, as cynically racist or pathologically deranged, that's not to say that the echoes of what's being put forward aren't playing out in some corners of the online world that this museum also inhabits.
One sees it, alas, in revisionist websites, in cheap analyses of conflicts of the Middle East. Perhaps most dangerously of all, though, we also see it in a popular culture blighted with an ever-diminishing attention span to history.
This section includes, as well as valuable information and personality, a look at the dilemmas that people faced at the time of the genocide. Its stories are taken from a variety of sources, including direct interviews, interviews conducted by the Auckland Oral History Group, the Worldupsidedown website, Freya Klier's Promised New Zealand and Mixed Blessings (edited by Debbie Knowles).

Children of the Holocaust Soundscape
The following interviews, podcasts and animation are about stories of people who were children or teenagers during the Nazi uprising of the 1930's. These stories have been sourced from oral history interviews recorded by the New Zealand Jewish Oral History Group. The group has interviewed 98 Holocaust survivors who came to live in New Zealand since the 1990's. Only some of these people are still alive today.

Holocaust Glossary
The Holocaust glossary outlines the key terms, names and places that describe and give definition to the catastrophe of the Holocaust, which saw the loss of between seven to eleven million Jewish lives. This glossary has been developed for the JoM by the online organisation World Upside Down, which dedicates itself to chronicling the lives and memories of those who suffered during the Holocaust.

The Eduth Soundscape was created for the JoM by the oral historian Ruth Greenaway. Ruth has interviewed a number of Holocaust survivors and their families in her work, and was moved to create this compelling testament to the human tragedy of the Holocaust for our visiting listeners.
Warsaw, January 2011
Watch award-winning animator Miriam Harris's new video animation which she has made with long-time collaborator Juliet Palmer. This nine and half minute long experimental film is based on a journey the artist made to her war survivor mother's birthplace of Warsaw, Poland in January 2011. This evocative animation is a poetic exploration of separation, loss and discovery, moving as it does between the time and space of the animator's recent journey to Warsaw from Auckland, and the years when her mother enjoyed living in the city with her family, before the trauma and upheaval of WWII. Through an original soundtrack, drawing, collage, and painted and moving image this poignant film brings to life the experience of a Jewish daughter returning to a place built in her imagination, through stories and recounted memory, and through the new experience of being in Warsaw, long after her mother had fled to make a new life for herself in Auckland.

Shadows of Shoah
Shadows of Shoah is a multidisciplinary exhibition created to communicate the significance and gravity of the Holocaust in a unique and artistic way. The Shadows of Shoah exhibition is largely the work of New Zealand photographer and composer Perry Trotter, with research and interviews by Sheree Trotter. The exhibited work is based on interviews of Holocaust survivors from around the world and presents selected poignant incidents from these survivors' experiences.
World War II and the Holocaust

So, my first impressions of the Beauteco box. I was surpised the outer packaging didn't contain another box or bag - purely because that's what I'm used to with other subscription boxes. It's probably more environmentally friendly as it's not wasting any extra packaging and I really don't need to collect any more empty boxes! I like the cute little drawings on the outside and the inside of the box too, they're a nice touch. I also like the bright colours inside the box although it's a bit of a shame that we have the standard bow, tissue, sticker and shredding that so many beauty box companies use - I start to wonder if they're all put together in the same factory or something! It's not a problem of course, I just find it odd that Beauteco have followed that same trend when in other ways they're setting themselves apart as being a different service.
Inside the *Beauteco Box I found the following products - Dr Brandt Age Management moisturiser, Mitchell & Peach Body Cream, Melvita Rose Cleansing Oil, Anatomicals Body Scrub and Anatomicals Vitamin Enriched Hand Cream. Most beauty boxes contain 5 products, but the beauteco box feels like a more generous helping as all of the products are either very substantial sample sizes or full sized products.
The biggest and best difference between Beauteco and other beauty boxes is that I knew what the contents of my box would be before I received it. I got to make some choices about what I was being sent from a selection of three different boxes, so I could avoid any products that I knew I wouldn't like or wouldn't use. Finally! I think this is something a lot of people want from their beauty box rather than being overrun with products that aren't right for your skin or aren't a suitable colour etc.
Beauteco Box have just launched in May and they plan to expand the amount of box choices on offer as they grow. Boxes will cost £10 per month plus £2.95 for postage, and you can save money by ourchasing a 3, 6 or 12 month. You can subscribe to beauteco box at www.beautecobox.co.uk and you can also check out their facebook page for more details.
Are you ready to try a new beauty box? Do you like the option of choosing what goes in the box?
I love the sound of Beautecobox, such a great idea to be able to pick between a choice of boxes!
Yep - they've hit on something there!
as much as i love the surprise factor that other beauty boxes offer, i love the idea of being able to choose my products as i know it's something i'll use rather than having unused samples lying around. the contents of your box look great and really generous too!

Transportation on the Hogwarts Express between the two Parks goes between King's Cross Station in Universal Studios and Hogsmeade Station in Islands of Adventure. This train ride allows guests to meet magical creatures and familiar characters along the way.

Some years ago I photographed twin foals at Pulpit Farm in Hockley. I hope I remember correctly, but I believe they were called 'Moon' and 'Star'. Can anybody add to the recollections? When the girls were small we would walk in Hockley Woods, next to the Bull Inn. We had a Dalmation then and both the girls and the dog had a great time on the soft woodland floor among the autumn leaves. Are dogs still allowed? Finally a winter photo of rural Hockley.
Moon and Star at Pulpit Farm?

We are really sorry that you find the type hard to read but, unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to darken it as the type comes with the program we use to produce the site.
Your site is very good, however the pale grey is a little hard to read for those with poor eyesight. I went for a walk with my dog today and felt I was getting lost. Wish I'd had your map to show me which way to go! It would be good for the council to put more way markers in and maybe route numbers. I enter near HMP and exit near Guidewoods so never see a map. It's too dark to get directions from the sun but the atmosphere is beautiful.
Hello Robert, yes you're right about the twins. Their names were Moon & Star. Really lovely mares that were tiny but always had massive foals!
These pictures are absolutely stunning, Robert.

Antisemitic singer Alison Chabloz guilty of hate crime
Frances Gibb, Legal Editor
May 26 2018, 12:01am, The Times
Alison Chabloz described her work, in which she called Auschwitz "a theme park", as satire and said that many Jewish people found it funnyVICTORIA JONES/PA
A musician who wrote and performed antisemitic songs mocking the Holocaust has been found guilty of posting grossly offensive material online.
Alison Chabloz, 54, was convicted of three charges relating to three songs she had written. District Judge John Zani said at Westminster magistrates' court yesterday that the material was grossly offensive and that Chabloz had intended to insult Jewish people.
There were shouts of "shame" from the public gallery, where about 20 supporters of the musician had gathered, when the verdict was read out.
Chabloz uploaded tunes to Youtube including one defining Auschwitz as "a theme park" and the gas chambers as a "proven hoax". Other lyrics included: "Did the Holocaust ever happen? Was it just a bunch of lies? Seems that some intend…


More and more hotels are giving their guests access to tech tools to check in and check out, make room requests, order room service, and plan their events during their stay. Hoteliers are using technology to make it easier for guests to let hotels know what they need and what they want which ultimately improves the their experience.
But, to do this a hotel needs the proper infrastructure and tools to achieve a seamless transaction from staff delivery to guest satisfaction.

The white panel of this card is all one layer. I added quite a bit of shadowing to the dog using Copic markers.
Another interesting thing I did on this card was use Stampin' Up! Classic inks on clear polymer stamps. I REALLY wanted to have Stampin' Up! colors for my sentiments, but I always have trouble getting a clear image – the water-based Stampin' Up! inks are repelled on the clear stamp, making it "ball up". So, I just stamped it over and over using a stamp-a-ma-jig until I got a solid image. Now, it's not perfect, but it's good enough for government work. And my personal cards, lol!
One more thing – I've been using Versafine Black Ink with my clear stamps and it is totally amazing!! The image is very crisp every time.
I'm sending this card to my sister because she puts up with all my crazy-talk!
This is why I love to watch your videos, you're always giving me such great tips! Like the stamp-a-ma-jig using for the perfect stamping of those words! Cool! And the coloring of the dog is fabulous as always!
Love this too much!! I am still amazed at your shadowing…I have much work to do to achieve that look!
What a cute card. Love the stamp sets you chose. And the tip about using the stampamajig is fabulous! I never thought of that. How smart. I have a problem with some inks beading up too and have tried to "sand" them and do some other things that I hoped would solve that problem…and most of the time it didn't. How great a tip this is!
And your shadowing is great around your little pup. I struggle with that….thanks for the help on that too!
Great card!! Loved all the shadowing. Great tip on the stamp a ma jig! I'm glad to be the recipient of the card!! Love you!
Beautiful card. Thank you for the great stampamajig tip – I have the same issue with Inkadinkado stamps and Memento ink – this solved the issue for some of the bigger stamps (I had to try it right away, even before writing this comment). Thank you!!
Great card. Yes, the VersaFine is terrific and my 'go to' ink for clear stamps. So far I have black, Sepia and Navy. I'll be collecting more. Tha VersaFine also gives a good solid image on solid rubber stamps.
So Gorgeous and sweet ..wished you was my sister too…so I would receive it…don't know if I would be all the nice things you say about your sis?
Love the shadow you added too..super video!
Love watching your videos!! I'm always learning something. Neat how you used the stamp a ma jig to double stamp. So easy. Thanks so much for sharing your talents and ideas.
Darling card! Your sister is sure to love it.
Okay. To be honest, I wsn't going to watch this video because I don't have copics. BUT, I read some of the comments, so I had to see what the stamp-a-ma-jig trick was everyone was talking about. Thanks for the tip! That is a wonderful, yet simple way to do that! By the way, I do LOVE your copic coloring. Always so well done. Love it!!!
Forget where I heard it, but for inks that "ball up" on your rubber stamp, if you ink with an archival ink first and stamp the image 'til there is no colour left, then ink with Distress Inks (which I have always found blobby) you get a perfect clear image. Hope this will work for your Stampin' Up inks too. Always enjoy your videos – many thanks.
Wonderful puppy dog card. Thanks for the tip on using the stampamajig. Your coloring is wonderful. Especially like the shadowing.
Your sister is so lucky to have you. Thank you for sharing your talent. I learn so much from you.
Darlene – what a great card. Your love and appreciation for your sister really shows. Once again, you made Wednesday a fun day. Thanks for sharing your talents and teaching us so much.
Cute card, I'm sure your Sister will love it!
Hi, I saw a video by Tim Holtz once and he said that certain new stamps need to be conditioned before using and he actually recommends the Ranger Archival ink to condition the stamp. And he said once you condition the stamp, there shouldn't be any issue with getting the ink to 'stick'. I read that some others use a sanding block to lightly sand the surface but I use the ink method. I have a few Penny Black stamps and I did encounter it but not after the stamp has been used.
Totally love your card. Need to try it some time. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry I thought I'll be more specific about conditioning the stamp. He said to stamp using the archival ink (which he recommends), let it sit for few seconds and wipe it off with wet tissue or a wet cloth. You won't need to use a stamp cleaner. The stamp should be able to absorb the other inks after that. I need to highlight that archival ink does stain the stamp.
Hello Darlene: Sorry I didn't posted yesterday. We lost our internet for a long while due to "repairs". Ughhhhh!! It really bothers me when it happens, specially on Wednesdays!!!!! They don't know I'm waiting to see your videos. Anyway, by the time it came back, along with the cable, I was busy with my grandkids's orthodontic appointments, some grocery shopping, etc.
Anywho, lovely card, that puppy is adorable! I know I've said it before but I will say it again…..the way you do those lines free hand amazes me every time. You have the stediest touch. Thanks again for a great video.
Darlene your card is so so cute! Your Copic coloring is amazing, thanks for the great tips also.
I always look forward to your videos …. love learning new techniques and love your relaxed presentation! The soft music you play in the background is a great enhancement to your videos! I'll bet your sister will really enjoy receiving this card with the adorable Penny Black dog and all the great sentiments. Thanks so much for all the work you do on these videos!
One of the good things about the Copic express paper I sent you is that you can stop coloring something and go back to it later and still blend it that is one of the good things about that paper. And yes referring back to the video about the Neenah Paper and the Copic express paper is personal preference. Suzanne Dean has a good video about paper on her you tube channel.
You are fabulous! I so look forward to Wednesdays because of your videos.
I do have a question:. When I try to apply the color with the same tool you used on the card base, I continue to have line marks on the cardstock. I have tried doing it with a light touch and priming the applicator first but I continue to have those lines. Any tips?
Hi Tammy! The only other thing I can think of is to maybe use less ink on your applicator. So, don't dip too hard into the ink pad. Try that and see if it helps, along with the light touch and the priming. Hopefully all those together will work.
Thank you so much for all of your inspiration! I have just ordered my first set of Copics & I'm so excited to begin learning how to use them. Your tutorials have given me the confidence to give them a try. I'm sure I'll be tuning back in over and over to your videos to practice. I appreciate all that you do! Happy New Year!

Regal Owner Cineworld Group Secures Lifeline With $450 Million Debt Facility

Beleaguered Regal cinema chain operator Cineworld Group has found a lifeline by securing a new debt facility of $450 million and the issue of equity warrants.
The company has agreed bank covenant waivers until June 2022 and has extended the maturity of its $111 million incremental revolving credit facility from Dec. 2020 to May 2024.
"The measures we are announcing today deliver over $750 million of extra liquidity to support our business," Mooky Greidinger, CEO of Cineworld, said. "Over the long term, the operational improvements we have put in place since the start of the pandemic will further enhance Cineworld's profitability and resilience. The Group continues to monitor developments in the relevant markets in which we operate and our entire team is focused on managing our cost base. We look forward to resuming our operations and welcoming movie fans around the world back to the big screen for an exciting and full slate of films in 2021."
The group will now have aggregate gross debt financing of $4.9 billion with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.5%. The new arrangements entitles lenders to appoint a board observer.
Alongside its new debt facility, the group will issue to participating lenders 153,539,786 equity warrants representing in aggregate 9.99% of the fully diluted ordinary share capital of the company, assuming full exercise of the warrants.
"In light of the severe financial challenges facing the group arising from the significant disruption to the entire industry, the board is confident this additional liquidity will preserve and maximize shareholder value over the long term," said Alicja Kornasiewicz, chair of Cineworld Group.
The company had shut all its sites in the U.S. and U.K. following the postponement of James Bond title "No Time To Die" to Easter 2021.
It emerged last week that Cineworld was considering insolvency measures in the U.K., including permanently closing some sites.

Robert Lewandowski reportedly wants to leave Bayern Munich
At the age of 32, Lewandowski is looking for a new challenge before he retires.
Polish International and Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski reportedly want to leave the club after a stint of seven years.
Lewandowski being the head of the attack at a star-studded Bayern Munich will leave a big gap in the club's attack if he leaves Munich.
As reported by Sky Sports News, at the age of 32, Lewandowski is looking for a new challenge before he retires.
Considered as one of the best players in the world at the moment, Lewandowski helped Bayern Munich towards an unprecedented treble in the 2019/20 season where he scored a total of 55 goals and nine assists in all competitions. Continuing the prolific form, Lewandowski broke the 49-year-old standing record of German legend Gerd Muller of 40 goals in a single Bundesliga season which he surpassed on the final matchday of the 2020/21 season finishing with 41 goals.
Bayern Munich has no intention of releasing Lewandowski this season but will be accepting bids from the 2022/23 season. It has been reported that the club values the Polish striker at about $116 million.
Lewandowski has been one of the most successful players for Bayern Munich, winning 18 trophies in seven years with the club. Bayern would be looking to quickly replace him if he decides to leave the club next season.
Several clubs from the Premier League have shown interest in the Polish international, only time will tell what lies ahead in Lewandowski's career.

We're all pretty familiar with the aphid – those little green (or apparently other colored) things that gather on your plants in clusters and just kind of stay there. In doing just a little research, though, I've gained a whole insight into these fascinating little creatures. There are many types of aphids. The really interesting thing is that many of them are monophagous which means that they only feed on one species of plant. They feed on the sap from the phloem vessels in plants. In order to get the nutrients they need from it, they must consume large quantities which results in a large excess of waste expelled from their rear. This waste is called "honeydew". Sounds gross, but what's cool is that certain types of ants cherish this waste.
This is where things get interesting. These ants love the honeydew so much, that they actually protect and farm the aphids in order to get more. They actually "milk" the aphids by stoking them with their antennae. I've actually witnessed this in person, except at the time I thought it was trying to eat them. They even go as far as to gather the aphids' eggs and store them in their nests over winter so that they can return the baby aphids back to the plant to produce more of the precious precious honeydew. How awesome is that?
I won't kill them. Nature will take of that with some pounding rain storms and dry days under the blazing sun. I might actually miss them.

Euro 2012 DLC on its way for FIFA 12
By Chris Thursten published 2 April 12
I sit next to Rich, and every lunchtime he and Graham play FIFA 12 together. I know very little about the game, except that it involves men running around, kicking balls, and then falling over and enthusiastically tickling each other. Be that as it may, EA have announced that its UEFA Euro 2012 tie-in will be an expansion pack for FIFA 12, priced at £15.99 in the UK and delivered via Origin.
As you'd expect, the DLC includes all 53 competing teams as well as eight new stadiums. Football Club Challenge mode will let you follow the tournament as it happens, replaying key matches if real life didn't go quite as you'd planned. You'll also be able to insert your custom-built Virtual Pro player into the mix.
Then there's Expedition Mode, which involves building a new team and travelling around Europe, stealing the best players from the teams you defeat. It sounds a bit like Pokémon, albeit with more tickling and a roughly equivalent amount of balls.
£15.99 seems pricey for DLC, but it's worth bearing in mind that in the past, licensed products like Euro 2012 would have arrived as full-price games. Moving aspects of the annual franchise over to a DLC model seems like a forward-looking move for EA - particularly on consoles, where football games are often cited as a major draw for brick and mortar stores. We're used to getting our games digitally on PC, though, so this seems like an all-round better deal than we might have otherwise got. In any case, it looks like I'm in for another six months of listening to Rich's "I am the best" song.

Kalise Gran Canaria 89
Bosna Sarajevo 69
February 26, 2008 CET: 21:30
Local time: 20:30 CENTRO INSULAR DE DEPORTES
Kalise Gran Canaria advanced to the ULEB Cup Last 16 round by downing KK Bosna 89-69 on Tuesday night. The result erased an 89-82 loss in the first leg last week in Bosnia. In the Last 16, Gran Canaria will face Galatasaray Cafè Crown with the first match scheduled for March 11 in Istanbul. A 13-0 run in the first quarter gave the first serious lead to Gran Canaria. It grew to 30-18 late in the second period and to 38-22 by halftime. The hosts made another big run back from the lockers to get ahead 60-30 and practically close the contest. Kornel David led the way for Gran Canaria with 23 points, Carl English collected 16, Marcus Norris added 13 with 7 assists while Nik Caner-Medley finished with 11. Lance Williams had 19 points and 7 rebounds for KK Bosna and Goran Ikonic added 15.
Edin Bavcic gave an early 0-4 margin to KK Bosna, but the hosts answered immediately with a 13-0 run highlighted by three-pointers from Norris and English. The cushion grew to the double figures, 18-7, with another basket from downtown from Caner-Medley, before Williams completed a three-point play for the guests. But Roberto Guerra from the foul line fixed the first quarter scoring at 20-10. Williams opened fire in the second quarter from mid range, then Ikonic scored from beyond the arc to get to 24-15. David fueled the hosts in the paint to rise to 30-18 with three minutes left to halftime. Ikonic and David exchanged three-pointers, but the Hungarian big man of Gran Canaria remained hot to finish the first half with a mid-range jumper for the final 38-22 for the hosts.
Jim Moran raised the difference to 42-22 early in the third quarter. Dzenan Rahimic then tried to take charge for KK Bosna with a pair of scores, but a 14-3 charge with 7 points from English pushed the hosts to 56-29. A basket in the paint from Sitapha Savane made it a 30-point margin for the hosts, 60-30. The guests showed pride trying to cut the difference and Williams scored from the foul line to close to 64-42. But then David fixed the score at 69-44 after 30 minutes. Bryan Bailey, Williams and Ikonic scored three baskets in a row to reduce the difference to 73-56 at the midway point of the last quarter, but Gran Canaria remained in control to the final buzzer with English posting the last basket for the final 89-69.

"I think that our breakaway early was important, coming when their point guard, Bailey, got his second foul. We were aggressive the first half on defense and we got a lead that held up in the second half, when we had the support of the fans and could take advantage of Bosna's tiredness. Our fans understood the importance of advancing. We were witness to two great atmospheres for these games, first in Sarajevo with 6,000 fans. There, I told Bosna that they would find the same enthusiasm or more here. I think they have been two unbeatable crowds for their teams and both respectful of the opponent, which is good for playing basketball."
ZDOVC, JURE
"I congratulate Gran Canaria on their qualification. I believe they have a strong team that plays in the best national league in Europe. I have nothing bad to say about my players. We lost some players in our rotations due to the foul problems of Bailey. We are not used to playing such tough games in our league, and as such don't have players with sufficient experience to face them. I wish the best for Kalise Gran Canaria in the ULEB Cup and the ACB."
