Aris TT Bank - CSKA Moscow 62-65



This is what happens when we loose!
In front of a sell out crowd, Aris TT Bank gave the current Euroleague Champions a hard time before succumbing on details due to a turnover during the last attack.
This was the 1st home defeat, however the chances of qualifying to the next round are very much intact.


CSKA Moscow Guard,PAPALOUKAS, THEODOROS: "I haven’t felt like today for a long time. I was nervous before the game because of the support of the fans. However, I felt really proud and I should thank the fans for the standing ovation. Alexandreio is the most difficult arena I have ever played in. Maybe, there is no hottest court around Europe. The image of the fans will remain in my soul forever."

Aris TT Bank Head Coach, MAZZON, ANDREA: "I am very proud of my team today because we struggled for the win until the final buzzer of the game against the current Euroleague Champion. Even though we had higher evaluation number, we lost the game! Let me repeat that we can qualify for the next round with such huge support in Alexandreio. Our fans are absolutely incredible."

They are indeed incredible, and I will be one of them on the next home game against Napoli at the beggining of January.

Littlethorpe Chess Club Christmas Quick Play

The Littlethorpe Chess Club Christmas Quick Play took place last night at the plough, with 4 rounds of all moves in 15 minutes. Amazing performance for an unrated outsider such as myself, scoring 3 wins out of 4 games, including a win against a 145 BCF rated player. I think it was a joint 1st, had to leave before all games were finished, but I will get back to you on that.

Iron & Wine - Woman King EP

Iron & Wine is the stage and recording name for Florida singer songwriter Sam Beam. His cover of "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service was featured in the 2004 film Garden State and its soundtrack. That's when it caught my attention.
Been a fan ever since, and with this release he expands his characteristic sound to a more complete and energetic level.





A little bit about my research


My research involves the use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscpy for the determination of the three dimensional structure of the BcII metallo-b-lactamase from Bacillus cereus in complex with the promising inhibitor R-Thiomandelic acid.
