A former West Point man facing 18 sex-related felonies has been indicted on another charge stemming from an allegation that occurred nearly three years ago.
Jimmie Sturgill, 65, of Catlettsburg was indicted Thursday for first-degree sodomy. According to the indictment, Sturgill forced the alleged victim to engage in a sexual act between April 6, 2010, and June 6, 2010.
The new indictment comes a month before Sturgill's jury trial is scheduled.
An indictment is an allegation, not proof of guilt. A defendant is innocent until proven guilty.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Infinity Primus PS312 by Dave Bar Why add a powered subwoofer? A powered subwoofer gives you bass you can feel as well as hear. Our customers love the depth and impact their subs add to music and movies. We hear comments like "it brings out sounds I didn't know existed in discs I've watched a million times." Powered subwoofers aren't just for big bass that rattles your picture frames; they can also deliver tight, accurate lows. If you haven't shopped for a powered sub in a while, you might be surprised at how small they get. Look for an ultra-compact model if you want to tuck your sub away under an end table or in a corner. Add more life to your movies and music Infinity's Primus PS312 powered subwoofer pumps up your movies and music with thunderous bass you can feel as well as hear. A massive 400-watt amplifier powers this sub's 12" woofer to fill even large rooms with punchy, well-defined lows. The combination of a patented Metal Matrix Diaphragm® driver and a low-resonance enclosure ensure this subwoofer can rock out without introducing any audible distortion. Infinity's exclusive Metal Matrix Diaphragm driver The PS312 features Infinity's exclusive Metal Matrix Diaphragm ("MMD" for short) driver technology in the 12" front-firing woofer. It consists of a stiff aluminum core, anodized on both sides for increased strength and rigidity. The result is extremely fast, accurate response, giving you distinctly cleaner, more realistic bass, even at higher volume levels.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Features Metal Matrix Diaphragm (M.M.D.): Derived from the C.M.M.D. material used in Infinity's flagship Cascade series, M.M.D. features a stiff aluminum core, anodized on both sides for increased strength and rigidity. M.M.D. transducers conduct sound faster than paper, polypropylene, and Kevlar, pushing unwanted resonances beyond the operating range of the transducer. M.M.D. drivers deliver crystal-clear, distortion-free sound from dynamic digital sources, even at high listening levels. The PS212 is equipped with a front-firing, 12" M.M.D. woofer. Amplifier: This subwoofer is powered by a 400watt (RMS) amplifier, rated at 35Hz - 150Hz with no more than 0.1% THD. The maximum (peak) power output is 700 watts. Surround: For a smoother response and improved durability, the woofer uses a rubber surround. Bass Port: There is one rear-firing bass port that allows deep bass with high acoustic efficiency and low distortion. Controls Gain Control: The subwoofer has a rotary control on the rear panel for adjusting the level of the bass. Low-Pass Crossover: The subwoofer features a continuously variable 50Hz-150Hz low-pass crossover that determines the highest frequency at which the subwoofer reproduces sounds. The crossover has a 24dB/octave slope. The crossover is bypassed when the "LFE/Normal" switch is in the "LFE" position. Phase Switch: The subwoofer's phase switch allows you to control the phase of the subwoofer's output relative to the front speakers. If the bass sounds muddy or unclear, toggling the phase control can sometimes strengthen the bass "attack." Auto On/Off Circuit: The auto on/off circuit turns the power amp on when a signal is sensed and turns the amplifier off and into standby mode approximately 10 minutes after a signal is no longer received. An LED indicator on the rear panel glows green when the amplifier is on and red when the amp is in standby. Connections Line-level Inputs: The subwoofer has a gold-plated LFE input (single RCA) and gold-plated stereo RCA inputs. If you have a Dolby Digital/DTS receiver or processor with a low-frequency-effects (LFE) output, you should use the LFE input on the subwoofer. If your receiver/processor does not contain a Dolby Digital or DTS processor but has a subwoofer output, you must use the stereo RCA inputs. If the receiver/processor has a mono subwoofer output, a "Y" adapter is recommended to maximize performance.

Liked this product a lot - it exceeded my expectations. Shook my livingroom without effort! Pros: Excellent product Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 ANAZING POWER Written By Bald VADER, Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday, March 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We never realized how much bass we were missing with the old Polk Sub. I can not give you tech spec talk. But I can tell you that we had to adjust power to half after rattling all the windows and blowing my son out of an easy chair. Just like the "Blown Away Man". Pros: Incredible clean sound. I can not hear my wife talking during the movie. Cons: Infinity Sub Woofers do not come with recliner seat belts 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I have it set to 50%, any higher and it will crack the foundation :) It compliments my existing speakers (Energy-Connoisseur) to a Tee. Pros: ease of set up, appearance, great sound. Cons: it is HUGE! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

It handles LFE's very well with clear crisp sound. I have the unit hooked up to an Anthem MRX 500 7.1 receiver with paradigm speakers. This sub woofer fits right into the system. Pros: Clear, crisp LFE sounds. Cons: I haven't found any yet. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 excellent product!!!

Yes | No 5 out of 5 primus ps312 Written By Jeff D, oakdale, ny 11769 on Friday, January 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very rich bass right out of the box. The ps312 replaced an infinity 15" sub that got fried during the sandy storm. I spent a lot of time reading reviews and getting input from others with surround systems. I came back to infinity because of how well the last sub preformed. This time I'm using a surge protector. Also, I'm using an onkyo receiver so, the set up and integration was simple. All in all I'm very happy with this sub and occasionally it goes on sale. Pros: rich, complex bass. I didn't need a break in period that others have talked about. Cons: none at this time. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Exactly as promised Written By Elecshop, Jacksonville, FL on Tuesday, January 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been looking for a powered subwoofer to compliment my Bose Acoustimass 10 surround system for some time. I read the reviews for this item and no one anything critical to say about the performance or quality so I waited until the sale the item went on sale. When I received the item I was completely satisfied. Well worth the money at regular price . Pros: Excellent sound and craftsmenship. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Quality Written By Mike, oak island, nc on Saturday, December 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my second infinity sub, I replaced a 150 watt with this beast and its awesome.... easily handles a load... huge upgrade for my man cave.... Pros: Quality Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Infinity Primus PS312 Written By stewartT, Little Rock, AR on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This powered sub hammers deep low bass like a sledge hammer! I have owened a Klipsch ref12 and the infinity preforms stronger and deeper. I have a Yamaha Receiver, along with Cerwin vega bookshelf, and center channel speakers and Cv ve 15s for the front. I thought the vegas pumped out the bass, I can hear and feel the infinity over them. The vegas are powered 500 rms per channel through a Qsc gx5, and 3rd octave EQ with the 31.5hz gain up 4db. The Infinity is built solid also, and I like the way the grill extends out away from the woofer. I highly recommend it! buy one or two for your system, you will not need tower speakers. after hearing the Infinity center channel, and bookshelfs, I am making my whole system infinity. Pros: compact solid design and easy to use. Cons: In today world it's always the price is a drawback for most of us, but thats ok Crutchfield has this Item on sale often. So no cons on the Infinity Primus PS312! 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome Product and Awesome Customer Service Written By Mark, Hawaii on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First off, I purchased the PS212 from outlet and after 2 weeks it started to make a rattling sound. Called Crutchfield Tech support and, without any hassle, gave me an option to return and get a refund or to upgrade to PS312. Of course, I upgraded and they also upgraded the shipping to 2day delivery. For people who live in Hawaii, 2day air is expensive for something that weights 50+ pounds but they said "sorry for the inconvience" and shipped it that day. Awesome tech and customer support. I will always buy from Crutchfield. About the product, I upgraded from a 6 year old 12" MTX audio home theater sub which is working still but I needed something with a little more tighter bass. I have the Infinity Primus towers, center, and rear surrounds which is the best for quality and price. Now I have the Primus Sub and its fantastic! The best home theater sub by far! No regrets going with Infinity and with Crutchfield! Pros: 400 watts RMS. Not cheaply made. Bass is tight and accurate. Worth more than the cost!

I am not one of those techy guys but I know a little bit about a little bit about audio tech.. This sub does everything that I want it to do. It does get a little distorted if you turn everything way way up but kind of to be expected I guess. I would buy another one if these if and when this one dies on me! :) Pros: LOUD- if you want it to be Cons: None. It's kind of big, but if you buy This sub you know what you are looking for. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome Bang for the Buck Written By Joshua J, Minneapolis, MN on Friday, September 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Growing up listening to movies and music through my JBL Soundgear 3030, I have always held Harmon International products in high regard. When it came time for me to finally assemble my own home theater system, I was expecting no less from these Infinity speakers. I've created a system of 4 P363's towers, 2 P163's bookshelfs, a C351 center, and a PS312 sub, all powered by a Harmon/Kardon AVR3650. Being a bargain hunter, I waited for these to go on "sale" to obtain the best price (well this side Black Friday sales prices). I have had the speakers hooked up for about two months now, and all I can say is WOW! The sound reproduction and tonal quality is incredible. Everyone has their own opinions on what sounds good, but ultimately the quality of the sound comes down to the quality of the receiver and the quality of the speaker components. I've utilized various mediums ranging from music, movies and video games, and in each medium, even with works I know quite well, comes alive- whether connected via HDMI, fiber optic or composite. There are qualities to the sound that I did not know existed- that is how incredibly clear the sound is. I would definitely recommend these speakers to someone looking to obtain the best sound for the price, while still having a high quality product. 8 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

It is a replacement for an older unit. This speaker sounds so much richer than the old one. It has changed the dynamics of my home theater system. I would highly recommend it to everyone. 14 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Moving Forward Monday
I am doing pretty well. I gave my parents a little scare about a week ago when I decided not to eat or drink again. Luckily they knew what to do this time (IV fluids and another round of steroids) and I have rallied. Mom still worries about how thin I am, but I'm holding my own.
Mom has some cute recent photos of me that she will post later this week. I may be a granny, but I still have it.
Mom's new job is taking a lot of her time and she still feels mildly to moderately incompetent. I spend a great deal of time purring encouragement in her ear. It really helps. Today I made the big sacrifice of making biscuits on her arm while she tried to type some boring drivel. I took a little nibble of her hand when I felt she had gone on long enough. It's tiring to be an editor.
I realized that she is never going to be able to get anything done if I don't actively encourage her. I told her she needs to keep moving forward. She needs get going on the next book we had planned before I got sick.
She is starting to write Cat-A-Lympics and I've given her some deadlines I plan on enforcing. We will be asking for entries in certain events and we hope you'll all want to play along.

We hope you will continue to eat and do well, Fin. It's sweet of you to be so diligent about keeping your mom in line. :)

Fin, you are a much nicer supervisor than I am - I will jump on my human's desk and slap and poke her when I feel she needs to step up her game or take a break. But then, I think she probably needs a sterner taskmaster than yours does.
I hope you continue to do well! I purr frequently for you.

My new favorite summer drink……soooooo refreshing.
- 2 oz dried Jamaica Hibiscus flowers*
- 3 cups boiling water
- 6 cups drinking water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1-2 cups ice (if you need to serve it immediately)
- cut apples and blueberries ( or any fruits)
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil and add the spices (nutmeg or cinnamon if desired) and whisk for 1-2 minutes until spices are incorporated. Pour the liquid over the hibiscus flowers. Let the flowers soak in the water for about 20 minutes. Pour the liquid and flowers through a strainer into a large pitcher. Add in the sugar and stir for 1-2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
Pour in remaining 6 cups of water and taste for sweetness. Add more sugar or water if necessary.
To serve immediately, only add in 5 cups of water and stir in the 1-2 cups of ice and stir until it is ice cold.
Add fruits as desired to make more desirable.
The color and flavor of Jamaica Hibiscus is similar to tart cranberry with a subtle tea flavor in the background. When it is served ice cold, the tea flavor is almost imperceptible. It is also loaded with Vitamin C, so it's good for you too! This version adds fruits to create a new taste.

OU delivers Red River Massacre; more early Snap Judgments
Story Highlights
Oklahoma's 63-21 win over Texas might have been Bob Stoops' best yet
Kansas State survived an upset scare at Iowa State to remain undefeated
Big East teams Louisville and Rutgers are still perfect and impressing
Snap Judgments from the Week 7 early slate. For more coverage, check out midday Snaps, late Snaps and our complete Top 25 review.
No. 13 Oklahoma 63, No. 15 Texas 21: The Texas State Fair is largely a family-friendly event, but Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops has turned the Cotton Bowl into a frequent staging ground for the Texas Longhorns Massacre.
It may seem hard to believe with Oklahoma previously posting blowouts of 63-14 (in 2000), 65-13 (2003) and 55-17 (2011) against Mack Brown's Texas teams, but Saturday's 63-21 decision may have been Stoops' most thorough Red River beatdown yet. A Sooners offense that had its share of early-season questions racked up 407 first-half yards against Manny Diaz's rapidly deteriorating defense and jumped to a 36-2 halftime lead. Following the blueprint of Oklahoma State and West Virginia before them, the Sooners turned to the ground game and found out very quickly that Texas ... cannot ... tackle. Running back Damien Williams broke a 95-yard touchdown run, while backup quarterback Blake Bell finished off four first-half drives with rushing scores.
But the real takeaway is just what an impact defensive coordinator Mike Stoops has made in his return to Norman. Oklahoma's secondary, so prone to breakdowns in recent years, was spectacular Saturday, intercepting Longhorns quarterback David Ash twice and limiting him to 13 completions for 116 yards and no touchdowns. Texas managed just 67 yards in the first half. The Sooners came in ranked in the top 20 defensively and will likely move up.
After its Sept. 22 loss to Kansas State, Oklahoma (4-1, 2-1 Big 12) does not control its destiny in the Big 12, but at least it has reason to believe it can remain in the race. (Though Stoops' teams do have a history of playing far better against the 'Horns than some lesser foes.) Meanwhile, Texas (4-2, 1-2) is in danger of letting a once-promising season fall apart. Brown, now 5-9 against Oklahoma, will take some heat this week in Austin -- though of course that's nothing new. [RECAP | BOX]
No. 6 Kansas State 27, Iowa State 21: Kudos to Bill Snyder's Wildcats. These days, it's an accomplishment if any highly ranked team can make it out of the upset pit that is Jack Trice Stadium with its undefeated record intact. And there were certainly moments Saturday when it appeared the Cyclones, who knocked of TCU last week, might have another upset in them.
But Collin Klein was Collin Klein, rushing 25 times for 105 yards and three touchdowns and completing 16-of-24 passes for 187 yards through the air. And the Kansas State defense was the Kansas State defense: Twice Iowa State took over in the final minutes with a chance to drive for the lead, and twice linebacker Arthur Brown and the Wildcats denied even a first down. And so, K-State (6-0, 3-0) moves on to a potentially enormous game next week in Morgantown. [RECAP | BOX]
No. 18 Louisville 45, Pittsburgh 35: The Panthers threatened early, taking a 21-14 lead late in the first half. But starting with a 45-yard John Wallace field goal two seconds before halftime, Teddy Bridgewater and the Cardinals reeled off 24 unanswered points. Louisville (6-0) was playing its first conference game of the year, while the Panthers (2-4) have begun 0-3 in the Big East for the first time since 2001. [RECAP | BOX]
No. 20 Rutgers 23, Syracuse 15: Khaseem Greene is the man. The reigning Big East Defensive Player of the Year and prospective All-America forced three fumbles and intercepted a pass in a typically Rutgers-esque game in which the Scarlet Knights won despite gaining just 237 yards of offense. Rutgers is 6-0. Repeat, Rutgers is 6-0. [RECAP | BOX]
Wisconsin 38, Purdue 14: A warm welcome back to 2011 Heisman finalist Monteé Ball. The Wisconsin star, who had been averaging a modest (by his standards) 94.8 yards per game, burst for 247 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries. This was an important win for the Badgers (5-2, 2-1 Big Ten), who are now the lone postseason-eligible Leaders Division team with fewer than two conference losses. [RECAP | BOX]
Northwestern 21, Minnesota 13: Wildcats running back Venric Mark is becoming a weekly staple of the 12 p.m. ET television window. The junior broke first-half touchdown runs of 26 and 48 yards en route to a 182-yard rushing day. Northwestern (6-1, 2-1) went up 21-10 at halftime on a rainy afternoon in Minneapolis, then survived a second-half slogfest by keeping the Gophers out of the end zone on four plays from inside the 10 late in the fourth quarter. [RECAP | BOX]
Virginia Tech 41, Duke 20: The Blue Devils continue to tease. Needing just one more win to become bowl eligible for the first time since 1994, Duke jumped to a 20-0 lead at Lane Stadium ... and then watched the Hokies (4-3) score the next 41. Virginia Tech freshman tailback J.C. Coleman, who came in with just 136 yards on the season, exploded for 182 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. [RECAP | BOX]
Ole Miss 41, Auburn 20: The Rebels (4-3) ended their two-year, 16-game SEC losing streak and scored their most lopsided win over the Tigers since 1992. That's a bit deceiving, though: The score was 27-20 with just more than five minutes remaining before Boo Wallace hit Jeff Scott for a 55-yard touchdown. Auburn falls to 1-5. Gene Chizik's approval rating nears negative territory. [RECAP | BOX]
Iowa 19, Michigan State 16 (2OT): A tipped pass-turned Hawkeyes interception gave an appropriately ugly ending to an ugly game. Michigan State (4-3, 1-2) will not be ending its 25-year Rose Bowl drought anytime soon. [RECAP | BOX]

(1953) The generation gap in post-war Japan as an elderly couple, shunted aside when they visit their children in Tokyo, are befriended only by their daughter-in-law, continually-smiling Setsuko Hara — but when she stops... Voted the greatest film of all time in the 2012 Sight & Sound directors' poll. Approx. 135 min. 35mm.
"So Japanese and at the same time so personal, and hence so universal in its appeal, that it becomes a masterpiece."
– Donald Richie
"One of the manifest miracles of the cinema"
– The New Yorker
Ozu's style – with its so-called 'pillow shots' (introductory shots of yet-unhabited rooms), low, static camera position, unhurried pacing and elaborately composed frames – has come to look, in an age of refreshed minimalism, more and more modern. Also, his main interest – how ordinary human emotions are expressed in the context of the changing modern family – has become ever more fundamental, relevant and richly rewarding."
– Wally Hammond, Time Out London
"A MASTERPIECE. Minimalist cinema at its finest and most complex."
– Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
"A remarkably replete introduction to Ozu's distinct world. It contains in miniature a great many of the qualities that enchant his admirers and move audiences, no matter how distant, to tears… Tokyo Story also exemplifies Ozu's unique style—low camera height, 180-degree cuts, virtually no camera movements, and shots linked through overlapping bits of space. In dialogue scenes Ozu refuses to cut away from a speaking character; it's as if every person has the right to be heard in full."
– David Bordwell
"Still has the power to astonish, disrupt, and shatter hearts. Ozu's long shots, knee-high camera placement, and collapsed perspective — as gorgeous and unsettling as a Cézanne—gather power over the duration, but time itself is the master's most potent weapon."
– Eric Hynes, Village Voice
"There is treasure for everyone in Tokyo Story." – Stanley Kauffmann

Leader Communications, Inc.
In 11 years, Michael O. Lyles transformed his one-man information technology company into a workforce of almost 200 employees located in 10 states and the District of Columbia, supporting customers around the world. How did he do it? Mr. Lyles said that his secret to success is simple – Find out what the customer truly needs and then find the best way to meet that need.
In 2009, Leader Communications, Inc. (LCI) graduated from the 8(a) program, having benefited for nine years from the advice and assistance provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration. LCI boasts a strong customer focus, a clear commitment to quality, and an exceptional team of LCI professionals.
The company is an award-winning, ISO 9001:2008 certified, CMMI© Level 3 rated, Small Disadvantaged, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, information technology and management services firm committed to providing the highest level of professional services and cost-effective solutions for today's challenging requirements.
From information technology services and database administration to system engineering, software engineering, web development, information and computer system security, program and acquisitions management, help desk support, software development, network services, data/records management, contract support, telecommunications support, training, advisory and assistance services, financial/accounting services, document production/printing services, and administrative/clerical support, LCI consistently provides qualified, customer-focused professionals able to rapidly respond to workload fluctuations, additional requirements, and new technologies.
Recent customers have included the Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, Defense Information Systems Agency, Army National Guard, Federal Aviation Administration, General Services Administration, Defense Logistics Agency, State of Oklahoma, University of Oklahoma, Indian Health Services, and several large prime contractors providing services to the named Government organizations. LCI also provides information technology services to several local Oklahoma organizations, including banks, churches, medical offices, and other small businesses.
After high school, Mr. Lyles, a Sacramento native, enlisted in the U.S. Air Force where he spent 21 years mastering the skills of radio operations and systems management. He worked his way through the ranks as shift supervisor, training manager, and work center supervisor in a variety of radio facilities before he took these experiences to the Air Force Communications Command in 1991. Over the next six years, his job titles reflected his work to gradually consolidate high power, high frequency (HF) radio systems throughout the world. His work changed the shape of the USAF High Frequency Global Communications Systems; in his first two years, he saved the Air Force almost $15 million.
When Mr. Lyles retired as a Senior Master Sergeant in June 1998, the Air Force was still interested in benefiting from his leadership and services while he worked as a consultant with a Government contractor. After three months with the company, Mr. Lyles realized that a smaller, more efficient company could provide the Government with better products, better people, at a better price. That's when he formed the Information Technology Company and, three months later, he incorporated Leader Communications, Inc. (LCI) in California. Today, LCI is headquartered in a 21,000 square foot facility in Oklahoma City and supports Government agencies with the "Best Products, Best People, Best Price™" in information technology and business services.
What is it about Mr. Lyles' leadership that has produced this record of success? The answer is that he leads by example. Mr. Lyles sets high ethical and performance standards for himself and his managers through an Ethics Code, Business Conduct Guidelines, and online communication in the "President's Corner." His standard is to do the right thing even if the result is an unfavorable position for LCI.
Mr. Lyles has established a set of Core Values that drive each business decision. ACHIEVEMENT – LCI aspires to the highest level of excellence in their products and services. COMMITMENT – LCI keeps their promises to clients, employees, and their families. HONESTY – LCI tells the truth, even when it places LCI in a less than favorable position. INTEGRITY – LCI does the right thing, even when no one is watching. ACCOUNTABILITY – LCI takes responsibility for its decisions at the individual and company levels. COMMUNITY – LCI donates time, money, and resources to local charitable organizations; employees build key relationships by supporting the communities in which they live and work.
Another factor in LCI's success is Mr. Lyles' commitment to serving not only LCI's customers, but also LCI's local communities. LCI donates time and resources as a company and encourages and offers opportunities for LCI employees to volunteer and contribute as well. LCI contributes to a number of youth sports teams and groups, including football, basketball, cheerleading, choir, track, and Scouts. LCI personnel have volunteered as tutors for local schools. LCI is devoted to education by sponsoring the Dr. Ernest L. Holloway LCI Scholarship for Langston University. LCI recently donated 13 computers to Wilson Public Schools after hearing of their need during an Aerospace Education and Training Day. In conjunction with the Oklahoma Aerospace Summit and Expo, LCI has established a program to mentor 11 Oklahoma teachers from across Oklahoma. Members of LCI's staff provide resources to the schools and present briefings to students and teachers on relevant topics. Since the community outreach program began, LCI has supported more than 100 charities with financial support. LCI employees have contributed thousands of hours to local agencies and events. "The hardest part is not being able to give even more time and money," stated Mr. Lyles.
Mr. Lyles' innovative approach and forward thinking will continue to provide LCI with many business successes. In spite of difficult economic times, LCI expects to finish 2010 with a record number of new contract wins. LCI's achievements are due to outstanding leadership, employees who are dedicated to success in every aspect of the business, and LCI's business approach that emphasizes excellence in business and support to community.

You will see an additional shipping charge added to your order of either $10, $20 or $25.
The fee assessed is based upon the size of the product. Oversize items are excluded from shipping promotions.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I'm 5'2 and 115 pounds and it fits perfectly. Makes all my features look great and my little belly pouch is invisible! It's so comfortable I could walk around in it all day! I LOVE it!
My daughter is 15 and we thought it would be to big. When she tried it on it was perfect. It fit very well. I bought the women's small and I have no complaints. I totally recommend it.
I ordered this costume for a Halloween party at my university and when I received it in the mail, it was ripped right on the butt seam. The return policy doesn't refund shipping, nor does it compensate you for paying to have to return a malfunctioning costume. I was incredibly disappointed and ended up having to return the costume to the store. I wouldn't recommend buying this costume since the quality is pretty low.
Overall I think the costume is very cute!
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
I'm 5'8" and 211 lbs. and I'm a curvy woman. I'm measuring around 44-34-47 and I personally don't like wearing those other costumes with the short skirts or dresses because I have a lot of leg going on and they just makes me look like a hootchie.
This costume makes you feel sexy without exposing all that skin. I purchased it in a large because there was no extra large so I was worried that it wasn't going to fit right in certain areas. When it arrived, it fit great! However the stitching is horrible around the bottom area or maybe it's my large butt (reason why I would have liked an extra large) so I've had to sew it up a few times. And the accessory cuffs run super small. I can't even get them to Velcro up.
Overall I love this costume! I love how it looks on me.
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
Love it! Iam 5'2" and got a small, fits well, only part thats tight is my butt. (I do have a butt.) which I kinda already knew would happen.
Only thing that is off with this costume is that bracers that come with, I have small wrist to the point I cant wear bangle bracelets or anything, AND THEY DONT FIT ME! Did they size them for little kids or something? Tried my hardest to get them on...but they pop off.
Other than that, the costume is pretty much true to size just plan on making or buying new bracers to go with them.

Trade Show Tactics
Answers vary but include evaluating product selection and product availability, finding out what's new in the industry, networking to find out about new opportunities, or increasing your industry knowledge through training opportunities.
Well, answers vary but include evaluating product selection and product availability, finding out what's new in the industry, networking to find out about new opportunities, or increasing your industry knowledge through training opportunities. Knowing your primary goal will help in your planning process.
As time seems to be more valuable today, people attending trade shows want more. Attendees want events that provide new product coverage, educational seminars that fill certification or training requirements, or present new technology.
And according to Jill Ryan, group show director for Cygnus Expositions, the company that organizes the Aviation Industry Expo, the lion's share of marketing is to attract attendees. "We do that through a variety of means, we do it through direct mail, advertising, and email. We certainly highlight exhibits because most people that come to a show want to see the product. They want to know what's going to be on the show floor, who's going to be on the show floor. Secondarily would be any educational content.
"People used to send whole teams from their company to trade shows, they don't do that any more. So the people that they do send, they're trying to get the most bang for their time commitment. Education is the No. 2 priority in terms of our marketing."
In planning to attend a show you have to know what, where, and when events are being scheduled. This can be accomplished by reading trade publications or visiting web sites that list events, exhibitors, and training seminars along with receptions or other festivities that would enable networking like golfing events or a fund-raising event.
Knowing the dates and location can provide the information you need to plan around work schedules, vacations, or budgets. If a show is close to where you live or work it's easier to convince management that it would be a cost-effective trip; if it's across the country you might need to tie it in with a vacation.
Either way, finding out as far ahead as possible benefits both the attendee and the exhibitor as plans can be made early and usually result in finding discounts before hotels and flights are booked up.
Trade shows offer the best interactive solution. You can see products in action to evaluate them. You can talk to suppliers to hear benefits and features, register complaints about previous models, request new features, or provide a testimonial on how the product has improved your performance.
You have a job to do and are looking for products that will make your job easier and safer. There's nothing like being able to actually see and hold a product. Product specs are useful but hands-on testing is going to make the decision-making process easier. How does it look, how does it feel, and will the company stand behind it are all questions you can get answers to by visiting exhibitor booths.
This is an opportunity for suppliers to hear from you on how their product is doing or how it can be improved. Knowing how it performs and how it's being used is valuable information that can go back to the company to help redesign a product or to create something new.
Besides presenting new products, trade shows allow attendees to talk about the industry. You can find out what issues people are facing and if they are the same as yours. Or if you're looking to see if there are positions that would further your career, attending trade shows can allow you to meet the person who has a position open or who might know someone who does.
Another feature of trade shows are career search seminars to allow people to find out about companies and what positions are available. Most shows also have bulletin boards with job postings that can help if searching for a better position.
If you're looking at a career change, knowing what positions are available will reveal what skills you need to develop. And checking what topics are being covered and when allows you to get the most out of whatever time you have available.

Thanks again to our party host, Lori for putting on such a fun party!
If you'd like to check out all the party goers, here is the list.
Hello my former BSBP partner!! Gorgeous colors! So fun and ocean-y! I miss summer already! That little vial with sand, BRILLIANT IDEA! I always wonder what to fill little vials with like that. This is genius!
What a delightful piece, playful and a nice keepsake of fun times. Lovely.
What a fun, whimsical piece. Great job!
Beautiful job! The colors just pop!
just beautiful!love the ocean theme!
I'm sneaking on here before we leave and I'm just in AWE! I LOVE IT! I love that you used orange and blue together... one of my fave color combos! It's just beautiful! :)
What a stunning contrast the orange brings to your necklace! Your design is as crisp as the ocean air!
I love the amazonite that you got, and a wonderful mix of lampwork beads. Nice job!!
So colorful and summer at the beach feeling...look good against that tan!
Beautiful and fun necklace! I like how you added orange for a colour combo that just pops. Neat bail too. And interesting idea to include some real beach sand, making it into a sort of memento.
Awesome piece Maria! Your beads really compliment the soup mix! Lovely!
Nice addition to the soup for a great piece!
What a fun necklace! That color combo really makes it pop!
How fun! I'm impressed with the color you added to the soup ingredients you received.
WOW! Excellent work and a really fun piece.
Amazing...there's nothing else I can say...that covers it! :)
What a great piece -- love the colors and the beachy inspiration. We're all being pushed outside our comfort zones — with amazing results!
Enjoy the hop,
What an awesome piece! I absolutely love the orange that you paired with the blue. Love the little bottle of sand (so cool that you collect sand from those beaches you visit). What a fun piece this will be to wear!!!
Totally adore the colors in this, and that little vial of sand is such a lovely touch. Great work!
Gorgeous! Love the addition of the glass bottle!
OMGoodness...your soup is DELICIOUS my Friend!!! I adore your design, it's truly stunning! Well done, another AMAZING cup of BEAD SOUP from a very talented designer!!! ;)
Isn't that just exquisite! Love the personal touch with the vial, too.
First, I LOVE Carmel Beach, CA. I was stationed in Monterey at the language school there in 1988. Sigh. Such memories. That bottle of sand draws me.
I like how you handled making a bail for the pendant, and your lampwork is always so wonderful to look at. Well done!
I hope you'll join me next time -- the blog badge and dates are up on my blog now.
Love, Lori
I love what you have done here !! Your lamp work beads are amazing!! I love that hanging bail!!! Super job! Great to meet you!!
Oh, you talented torch wizards - able to whip up a few beads to go with anything! This is beautiful, and the vial of sand is killer!
What a wonderful necklace you whipped up with this awesome soup you received! Your lampwork dressed up this focal incredibly...and it was lovely initially! Wow.
The beads you made to go with your soup made it really pop. And the piece to hang the focal from is so fun. I love the idea of the little glass vial with the sand in it, too. A wonderful beachy feeling/theme.
this is the yummiest, happiest, brightest piece i have seen! i just love it!!!
love the orange and blue together - and the loop on your lampwork to hang the focal is pretty darn cool!
Super duper cute! That little vial of sand, perfect!

Great piece, love the colours, very fun!
I love the way you've added in the orange. Just gorgeous. I am just off to read the last post about your table as it caught my eye just as the post a comment came up. :o)
Awesome design...colorful soup! You did an awesome job! Love the little orange starfish! Beautiful!
Beautiful colour combo, and the the little starfish are divine. Perfect summer pice.
I love the ocean, who doesn't! It was a great direction for your necklace. Your lampwork is perfect for the piece and that bottle of sand is genius. Nicely done!
so pretty and the sand bottle blew me away! What a superb idea.
This piece is stunning!!! I love the little bottle of sand, the awesome way you attached the pendant through the loop on your bead and yes your beads are AMAZING! I don't know how to make glass beads but would love to learn. How does one start to learn that skill? Is there a good "beginners website" perhaps? Any info you can share would be lovely.
Love your beach interpretation...it was a delightful surprise to see that fantastic orange!! Can't wait to go see more of your work.
Wonderful! You have created a terrific piece of wearable art. I like your use of color and texture and I think your lampwork is amazing! The little bottle of sand is perfect...Love it, want it. Thank you for sharing your artistic process along the way. Cheers!
I adore the beach theme and the bright colors. So much fun. I've got a little bottle of sand (and shells and coral) from a trip last year that I keep meaning to work into a design.
Anyway. . .your necklace is fantastic!! Yummy soup!
"So off to the studio to make some beads..." HA! I love it! I admire your talent. Not many people can say that aforementioned statement. How cool.
What a lovely, colorful and fun necklace!

Love to the 3rd power! I just adore what you added to your soup mix! It turned out gorgeous! Really Soup-er!
Another new lampwork artist to check out! I like the complementary color scheme you used. The addition of sand in a glass bottle was a nice little surprise. Great job!
You took some already gorgeous soup and ELEVATED the crap out of it! Dang I love the addition of the orange (hello! I never would have chosen orange!) and the vial of sand is such a special touch. Love it!
Oh wow! Love the orange with the blue! So jealous you can just "pop out to the studio" and make some beads!! Your design is simply stunning. Awesome job!!
So fun & colorful. Love it!

Really great - love your beads.
so pretty!
gorgeous!! I love the orange and blue combination!! And the little bottle of sand is the perfect touch!
how very nice, I love the idea of collecting sand from beaches you visit, very lovely piece...
Just Lovely Maria!!
Delightful..love the colour combination and the addition of your own beads and sand...just a great look and so well thought out.
The detail with the little bottle filled with sand was a nice touch to a lovely necklace.
Fantastic, the beads you created brought the beach to life. Great show of both the ingredients you received and your own talent.

TEAMS: Kansas City Chiefs
Hours before Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher murdered his girlfriend and took his own life, Police were called to check on a suspicious vehicle around 3am. Belcher and his girlfriend had argued around 1am, and Belcher was found asleep in his Bentley 2 hours later. "We're just trying to cut you a break here." one office said as Jovan was still seated in the car. Another is heard saying, "You live right here? You just need to go upstairs, dude" and "You know you got a lot to lose." Belcher doesn't exit the vehicle until later in the video, where he's seen talking with officers before thanking them and leaving. Hours later, both him and girlfriend would be dead. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Llandudno and Sandy Bay
Only 18km from the Cape Town city centre – over Suikerbossie Hill from the Hout Bay side or along Victoria Road from Camps Bay – an arc of fine white sand gives away the secluded location of one of Cape Town's most beautiful beaches, Llandudno. From the access road high above this little piece of paradise, there's a bird's-eye view of the ocean below, where pale aquamarine hues mingle with deeper, darker blue waters that hide many a shipwreck.
The beach is open to the public every day, but because parking is limited on the steep access roads, Llandudno is the ideal place to avoid the crowds (as long as you are lucky enough to find a parking place yourself, or alternatively, have a friend or taxi drop you there). The beach sand is fine, white and waiting for beach towels, brightly coloured brollies, holiday novels and picnic baskets to arrive. As Llandudno is on the Atlantic side of Cape Town, the ocean is cold, and a quick dip is usually enough bring respite to hot, beach-bronzed bodies. More hardy surfers and body-boarders brave the waters to take advantage of its icy but popular point breaks, albeit with wetsuits, hoods and booties on!
When making this your beach destination for the day, remember to take along plenty to eat and drink and sufficient sun protection cream, because the beach is located in the elite residential area of Llandudno and there are no shops around.
Naturists might prefer the more secluded Sandy Bay – Cape Town's official nudist beach – which lies south of Llandudno, at the end of a valley that runs down from the Twelve Apostles mountain range to the ocean. Swimming is not high on the agenda in Sandy Bay's little cove because the water is pretty chilly – but you are, of course, guaranteed a glorious overall tan.
The large boulders that characterise this part of the coast provide many vantage points from which one can enjoy spectacular views of the mountain behind and the ocean in front – all in the buff, of course! The long beach is broken up into smaller sections by large, natural granite slabs and the far end is popular among the gay community.
To get to Sandy Bay, you'll need to walk south for 20 minutes along a pathway from the Llandudno parking lot. Its remoteness makes this beach a target for opportunist crime, so it's best to visit during peak times or with a group of friends. There are no ablution facilities at Sandy Bay.

Southern Suburbs
The Southern Suburbs are a tourist's delight. The area, which stretches from the slopes of the Table Mountain range to the False Bay coast, offers natural attractions and a vibrant nightlife.
St James
Just a little further on from Cape Town's well-known Muizenberg beach is St James. Home to a cluster of well-known and oft-photographed bathing boxes on the beach, St James is a picturesque area that offers beachgoers respite from the westerly wind.

Only 18km from the Cape Town city centre, an arc of fine white sand gives away the secluded location of one of Cape Town's most beautiful beaches, Llandudno.

Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, P.C. has awarded scholarships to three Long Island veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and are now enrolled at Nassau Community College. "It is incumbent upon the Long Island business community to assist our veterans as they transition into civilian life," said Meyer Suozzi English & Klein, P.C. Managing Attorney Lois Carter Schlissel. "It is essential that we help them complete their education by providing tuition assistance so that they can compete for jobs in this very difficult economic climate."
The Meyer Suozzi scholarship committee is chaired by A. Thomas Levin, chair of the firm's Local Government, Land Use Law and Environmental Compliance Practice and the Professional Responsibility Practice.
About the scholarship recipients:
Gregory Carlisle, a West Babylon resident, grew up in Copiague and Amityville. He says his neighborhood was plagued by gangs and drug trafficking, but he promised himself that he would create a better life for himself. Corporal Carlisle served in both Iraq and Afghanistan and upon his return to Long Island, enrolled at Nassau Community College. He is a business major and will pursue an accounting degree at St. John's University. He plans on becoming a CPA. He also plans to pursue a master's degree in education and a second master's degree in counseling so that he can one day open a youth center that will provide a safe place for children to learn and stay off the streets. The center he says will prepare these youngsters for life and shape tomorrow's leaders.
Joshua Rivera is a resident of Massapequa. He graduated East Meadow High School in 2006 and served in the U.S. military from 2007-2011. He served in Iraq from June of 2008 until June of 2009. Corporal Rivera spent the early years of his life in various foster homes in the New York City area. He was adopted at the age of 14. He says he is grateful to all those who cared for him and appreciates the variety of cultures, ethnic backgrounds and religions that he was exposed to. Rivera played football in high school and enrolled at Nassau Community College immediately after graduation but soon realized he wanted more from his life and decided to enlist. While his adopted parents did not initially support his decision, he says they came to understand his strong desire to serve his nation, make a difference and give back to his community. Corporal Rivera hopes to pursue a career as a pediatric nurse. He says he loves children and someday hopes to have a large family of his own.
Juana Quijano is a single mother of three children ranging in age from 7-10 years old. Corporal Quijano, a Garden City resident, served in the military from 2002 until 2012, including a tour of duty in Iraq from 2007-2008. Corporal Quijano says she is proud of her service to her country which she says made her mentally and physically stronger. She says that her time in uniform has taught her to be loyal, honest, brave and courageous no matter what the circumstances. She hopes to pursue a career as a clinical social worker, working with veterans and helping them to address the issues that shape and complicate their everyday lives. She would like to help them deal with relationship and personal or family problems which for many have been caused by PTSD and other ailments contracted while in the service. She says her helping her fellow veterans would create a sense of satisfaction because they need to understand that they are not alone.
Founded in 1960 by the late John F. English, the firm of Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, P.C. includes among its members Joseph A. Suozzi, former Appellate Division Justice; John V. N. Klein, former Suffolk County Executive; Basil A. Paterson, former New York Secretary of State; and Harold Ickes, former White House Deputy Chief of Staff.

I like the idea of this guide- I purchased the London and Paris guides to help plan our honeymoon- but I found the writing to be very condescending. A complete turn-off! Even if it does have helpful information, I'm much less likely to even open one again because no one likes to be talked down to when trying to plan a relaxing vacation!
This travel guide is exactly what I would want for a city that I actually live in... so it must be great for a new city as well. I enjoyed the witty descriptions and the recommendations make you feel like an insider. I haven't put this guide to the test by using it in this particular city, but I definitely like the "feel" it offers.
This map was a great map but really hard to read. There is so much on it that it would take you forever to actually find anything. It would be easier to use Yelp or Google to find what you are looking for, more decorative that useful.
This is a awesome guide to the great spots in L.A. everyone should have one of these :-) makes a great gift as well.
Used this little gem for a trip to Laos. Afraid of turning on my phone in fear of data charges, this gem was great at directing me to spots all around. Durability is here as well as it folds easily and often.
The pocket size really helped me be able to take this with me everywhere. Had some great finds that I never would have visited without this guide.
An iPhone App would be a much better idea. No one needs to carry this around with them on a trip.
I understand that this is a little different of a guide, but you can find all of this stuff online if you know what to search for. I wouldnt really pay $10 for this
Why would I ever want to store this when I can just look up the most recent information on my smartphone? I just don't see the value here.
While it looks cool and the presentation is appealing, the true application of this is dated and pretty useless. We all like buying products and that's great - but when we go on vacation or travel we are very discriminating about the products we take with us.
If a mobile friendly version came along with this then it might work. A thick weirdly folded map though? No thanks; I've got a phone.

Every Notary will benefit directly from attending the Notary Event of the Year, where you can learn how to protect the public from fraud, discover new ways to improve your earnings by growing your Notary Signing Agent business and meet the state officials who oversee Notary licensing and practice. Next summer, Chicago will host for the first time the NNAs 32nd Annual Conference, themed the New Standard of Care.
Many states are now enacting new, stricter guidelines for Notary Public conduct. And with a landmark Illinois Appellate Court ruling in Vancura v. Katris, opining that following the minimum requirements of state law when notarizing may not be enough to prevent a fraud from occurring, there is an urgent need for Notaries to fully understand and follow best practices. Conference 2010 will offer a variety of workshops and keynote presentations to help Notaries adhere to the highest professional standards and guard themselves from negligence and liability.
Notaries attending Conference will learn about the Vancura case in detail and how it affects their work. Attendees also will be trained in comparing their state laws to best practices so they will know when they need to go above and beyond local guidelines to protect themselves fully from liability.
For Notary Signing Agents, there will be information on how the New Standard of Care affects their specialization, along with a look at the new professional code of ethics being developed for Signing Agents. And of course, there will be plenty of workshops on the essential basics of notarization and on how to grow ones Signing Agent or Notary business.
Visit the NNAs Conference 2010 Web site for more information and updates.
