PIKEVILLE — Court records in the McDowell cockfighting case paint a picture of a professionally-run operation, drawing people from Michigan to Florida and Texas, to the out-of-the-way McDowell arena, to spend thousands each night and wager thousands more.
Five people have been charged in U.S. District Court, in Abingdon, Va. They include Walter Dale Stumbo, his wife, Sonya Stumbo, and Joshua Stumbo, all of McDowell, as well as Wesley Dean Robinson and his son, Jonathan Robinson, both of Pound, Va. All five are each charged with one count of sponsoring an animal in an animal-fighting venture and one count of taking part in an illegal gambling business.
According to an affidavit filed by Stan Wojtkonski, a special agent with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of the Inspector General, the Stumbos operated the Big Blue Sportsmen Club, at the top of Slone Mountain, just off Route 1086.
"In the experience of this affiant and the experience of other USDA agents and law enforcement officers who investigatae organized animal fighting, the Big Blue pit in Kentucky is one of the largest, most organized and lucrative illegal cockfighting enterprises in the United States," Wojtkonski writes in the report.
A visit to the site Thursday revealed only a closed gate blocking the road, along with "closed" sign and a "Stop: No trespassing" sign. A smaller sign warned of 24-hour security monitoring.
According to statements made undercover investigators, and presumably backed up by audio and video evidence, the operation raked in cash from several fronts and took great pains to keep it secure.
The club featured a main arena, or "pit," along with several "drag pits" off to the side, where fights that went too long were moved, so as to keep spectators interested. The club featured a full restaurant selling a breakfast and lunch menu, and also sold prescription medications for animals, such as penicillin and strychnine.
The club also made substantial efforts to fly under the radar. According the affidavit, those approved to attend the club were issued laminated cards which only said, "Parking Permit." The club's name was not printed on the card, so as not to draw unwanted attention in the event a card was lost.
Getting to the club, the affidavit reads, required passing through two gates. The first gate was unmanned, but the second required passing by a guard, who also took a fee, ranging in different instances in the affidavit from $20 to $40.
Inside, one of the first things visible were several photographs of people on the wall. These were pictures of known informants who were to be barred entry.
Further inside, were the many cockfights being staged, surrounded by seating for 400 people. On the dates reported in the affidavit, the events drew 250-to-300 people, including minors.
Around the fights was a flurry of betting, ranging from tens and hundreds of dollars for most matches, to thousands in some instances. The affidavit reports tales of Asian and "Mexican Mafia" bettors coming to the club, bringing briefcases full of cash for wagering.
Those putting birds into the fights would typically pay a fee of $250 for the privilege, with 100 entries in an event not uncommon. During special events, that rate would rise, such as during a "state championship" event held April 4, when the fee was $1,700. Most of the money would be distributed to the winner or winners, but the house would also take its cut.Events were often staged as two-day "derbies," during which birds would fight in a series of matches.
Informants reported seeing the Stumbos periodically carry sacks and plastic bags full of money out of the club to a sport-utility vehicle parked outside. Once the vehicle was full, one of them would allegedly drive it to their home, located at 773 Frasures Creek Road, to deposit it in a safe.
The Stumbos were not the only ones allegedly to profit from the club. The Robinsons and others would allegedly sell metal spurs that could be attached to the fighting birds, known as "gaffs." These would take the place of the natural spur at the back of a rooster's foot and would be used to slash opposing roosters. The gaffs would inflict so much damage, birds were often eviscerated or partially decapitated.
According to the affidavit, Wesley Dean Robinson allegedly bragged to an informant that he would average $1,500 a weekend in gaff sales.
The club was also reportedly had an active scene for untaxed liquor and drugs.

Senators are elected at the same time as the governor and serve four-year terms concurrent with the governor's term of office. Senate and gubernatorial elections are offset by two years from U.S. Presidential elections (e.g., Presidential elections were in 2000 and 2004, gubernatorial and senate elections were in 2002 and 2006). Terms for senators begin on January 1, following the November general election. Senators who have not served more than half of someone else's Senate term are eligible for two full terms (i.e. - eight years).
In 2012, the Senate is in session from January 11 through a date yet to be determined.
Article IV of the Michigan Constitution establishes when the Michigan Legislature, of which the Senate is a part, is to be in session. Section 13 of Article IV states that the legislature is to convene on the second Wednesday in January of each year. Section 13 gives the Legislature the power to determine its date of adjournment through concurrent resolution.

In 2012, the Senate is in session from January 11 through a date yet to be determined.
Major issues
For the first time in years, legislators are anticipating an estimated $1 billion surplus. They are expected to consider proposals regarding autism, concealed weapons, elder abuse, mining and ending the personal property tax. Controversial "right-to-work" legislation may also be on the table.[3]
In 2011, the Legislature will be in session from January 12 through mid December. A specific date is yet to be decided by the Legislature. [4] The 348 calendar days that the Michigan Legislature is in session during 2011 is the longest legislative session in the country.[5]
Session highlights
In the 2011 session, Michigan was a key battleground on corporate taxes. Governor Rick Snyder had made promises during his campaign to eliminate the "Michigan Business Tax," which was costly and difficult to calculate. Governor Snyder delivered, replacing the tax with a flat 6 percent corporate income tax. The state will recover the $1.8 billion in lost business tax revenues with $1.5 billion in higher personal income tax revenues. Current Michigan law requires the state income tax to drop to 3.9 percent by 2015. Governor Snyder's measure keeps the income tax rate at its current 4.35 percent until January 1, 2013, when it will drop to 4.25 percent. During 2011, Michigan also became the first state in more than 50 years to cut state-level unemployment benefits. [6]
In 2010, the Senate convened its session on January 13th, and it remained in session throughout the year.[7]

Elections for the office of Michigan Senate were held in Michigan on November 2, 2010. The signature-filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections was May 11, 2010 and the primary election day was on August 3, 2010.

In 2010, the candidates running for state senate raised a total of $16,309,515 in campaign contributions. The top 10 donors were: [8]
|Senate Republican Campaign Cmte of Michigan
|Michigan Senate Democratic Fund

Section 7 of Article 4 of the Michigan Constitution states, "Each senator and representative must be a citizen of the United States, at least 21 years of age, and an elector of the district he represents. The removal of his domicile from the district shall be deemed a vacation of the office. No person who has been convicted of subversion or who has within the preceding 20 years been convicted of a felony involving a breach of public trust shall be eligible for either house of the legislature."
Whenever a vacancy occurs in the Senate, it is up to the Governor to call for a special election. A special election must be held during the next scheduled general election[9]. If the vacancy happened after the statewide primary, leaders of the respective party organizations within the Senate district can submit a list of nominees to be voted on by party leadership. A vote must be held no later than 21 days after the vacancy[10].
Term limits
- See also: State legislatures with term limits
The Michigan legislature is one of 15 state legislatures with term limits. Voters enacted the Michigan Term Limits Act in 1992. That initiative said that Michigan senators are subject to term limits of no more than two four-year terms, or a total of eight years.
The first year that the term limits enacted in 1992 impacted the ability of incumbents to run for office was in 2002.[11]
- See also: Redistricting in Michigan
The state legislature has the power to redraw district boundaries. Changes to the boundaries are made in the form of regular legislation, which means the maps are subject to the Governor's veto. In 2010, the House and the Senate organized redistricting committees to handle drafting the maps. As a result of the 2010 elections, both chamber's of Michigan's legislature and Michigan's governorship were controlled by Republicans.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Michigan's population fell from 9.94 million to 9.88 million between 2000 and 2010.[12] Michigan's U.S. Congressional delegation decreased in size from 15 to 14 seats.[13] A substantial population shift occurred from Detroit proper into the suburban areas.[14]
The state legislature undertook a relatively private redistricting process.[15] A Republican-proposed plan passed with bipartisan support after the House made some changes to the Senate plan. Governor Rick Snyder signed the plan, Senate Bill 498, into law on August 9, 2011.
Notably, the original Republican maps did not include a state senate district entirely within Detroit proper. Senate Democrats suggested some changes to the Detroit-area districts, which were then incorporated and sent to the House.
- See also: Comparison of state legislative salaries
As of 2012, members of the Michigan Legislature are paid $71,865/year. Legislators can use up to $10,800/year for expenses.[16]
The $71,865/year that Michigan legislators are paid as of 2011 is a decrease from a salary of $79,650 from the 2010 session, which was the same as they were paid during legislative sessions in 2007. Per diem is also the same.[17][18]
Partisan composition

The Lieutenant Governor serves as the presiding officer of the Senate, known as the President of the Senate. The president can only vote when there is a tie. In the absence of the President, the President Pro Tempore presides. The President Pro Tempore, Assistant President Pro Tempore, and Associate President Pro Tempore are elected by a vote of a majority of the Senators.[19][20]

Nautical Compass | Antique Compass | Emporium of Nantucket Compasses
Some have a natural sense of direction, the rest of us use a compass and map. Navigation via compass is both a science and art. When you don't have a compass on the water, using a sextant and celestial navigation works just as well. If you have ever watched the movie White Squall then you know when their compass was intentionally busted when the captain, played by Jeff Bridges, said, "A real sailor only needs the stars to navigate." The compass has played a huge part in maritime history and continues to be a symbol that reaches into the hearts of many. Nautical compass selections from The Emporium of Nantucket include many different styles. Some of our favorites include the Gimbaled Drum Compass, Drum Compass with Cover, and the Brass Compass with Aged Box. Regardless of which one you choose for your room or as a gift for the nautically inclined, they each will provide years of enjoyment.

The first thing you should put on before going for a run in the summer is sunblock. Get in the habit. Not only are more than 90 percent of all skin cancers caused by exposure to ultraviolet light and radiation, studies have shown that a person's risk for skin cancer doubles after just five incidents of sunburn.
Sunblocks fall into two categories, either chemical sunblocks (which often contain avobenzone, otherwise known as Parsol 1789) or physical sunblocks (which contain mineral blocking agents such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide). Most doctors recommend choosing a broad-spectrum sunblock, one that blocks out UVA and UVB rays with an SPF rating of at least 15.
The SPF factor doesn't immunize you against a burn or cancer, but just increases the amount of time your skin can be in the sun before it burns, according to Dr. Robert Tuchler, a cosmetic surgeon at Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center in Denver. "SPF 15 is a minimum, but SPF 30 is better," Tuchler says. "And it's very important to continually reapply it if you're out in the sun for long periods or sweating or in the water. Otherwise, you're leaving yourself exposed."
Be sure to also apply sunblock to areas prone to reflection exposure, such as the underside of the chin, neck, and behind the ears. Tuchler recommends wearing a hat, not a visor, whenever possible, or using a spray-on sunscreen to thoroughly cover your scalp. And, if at all possible, avoid running in the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when ultraviolet rays are the most powerful, he says.
We know runners will not use sunblocks if they interfere with performance, so look for a sunblock that is sweatproof and easy to apply and won't lead to chafing or skin irritation in high friction areas. Among the products that meet that criteria are Dermatone Broad Spectrum Endurance Gel SPF 45 ($7.80, 2.5-ounce tube), Kinesys SPF 30+ Sunscreen Spray ($15, 4.0-ounce bottle) and Badger SPF 30 Sunblock ($14 for a 2.9-ounce tube or 50 cents for single-use packets).
Running Apparel
Just about any shirt, even if it's made from sweat-absorbing cotton, will provide some protection from the sun. But you can improve your chances by wearing a performance-oriented fabric that not only breathes, wicks and disperses moisture but also offers a high level of ultraviolet protection factor (UPF).
Industry insiders admit it can seem like arbitrary marketing, but different fabrics can have significantly different UV-deflecting properties. For example, a shirt, hat or pair of shorts with a 50+ UPF rating — the highest rating possible for clothing — will only allow one-fiftieth of ultraviolet radiation to penetrate the fabric, less than half that of a loose-knit T-shirt with a default UPF rating of about 20.

FYSB Accepting Applications for the Competitive Abstinence Education Program
The Family and Youth Services Bureau is accepting applications to provide support to public and private entities for the development and implementation of the Competitive Abstinence Education (CAE) program. Grantees under this program will be expected to develop a targeted and medically accurate approach to reducing teen pregnancies through abstinence education.
Abstinence education programming is one intervention in a continuum of services that seeks to prevent teen pregnancy. The purpose of the CAE program is to provide funding for additional tools to address the rates of teen pregnancy among adolescent youth who are at greatest risk of STDs/STIs and most likely to bear children out of wedlock. Program plans will focus on the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by delaying initiation of sexual activity and engaging in healthy relationships.
Due date for applications: August 29, 2013

I am having migraines badly
I am a professional musician who had several bizarre/ disastrous performances before being diagnosed with absence seizures in 2007 which is when I began taking Lamictal. Lamictal alone didn't fully control the absence seizures, but it ended the constant excruciating headache that had plagued me for years. Now, I take its generic (400 mg daily) in combination with generic equivalent of Keppra (2500 mg daily). The two have virtually eliminated the absence seizures. Adequate rest, limited work on a computer, taking the medication every 12 hours (not 11 or 13, etc. and avoiding strobe lights have also been helpful. I had issues with leg convulsions, but these have subsided. I think one or both medicines have caused/increased depression...still a small price to pay for the ability to continue my career.
I just started Lamictal about two months ago, after coming off of my 2mg dose of Abilify. It took a few weeks to take effect, at about 75mg, but when it started working, it REALLY worked. I'm on 100mg right now, and I've lost weight gained from Abilify; much more importantly, I feel more emotionally regulated than I have in several years. For the first time since I was about 10, my emotions feel normal. Lamictal has been an absolute miracle drug for me.
Not sure what happened but almost immediately after taking this medicine I stopped binging and purging. When I stopped taking it almost a year later my eating disorder came back. I am going to start taking it again to see if it help.s
This drug did not seem to help at all. I was always sick to my stomach and just didn't like it at all.
Seems to work well, minimizes the mood swings
After experiencing an unfortunate incident where I was wrongfully arrested by the police while having a diabetic emergency, almost died in custody and they managed to break my wrist. Also I suffered chronic stress from this incident as it affected my ability to work I developed PTSD. After 6 weeks on this med my flashbacks and unwanted thoughts of traumas have reduced by 90% but of late I am feeling them starting to increase. I am a little worried that I may be experiencing development of tollerence to this med but will soon be asking if I can upwardly tweak my dose.
Within 6 months, all seizues were gone. I take brand name only. For me, side effects were minimal. The quality of my life has drastically improved with this medication.
Best treatment so far for BP1
i FEEL IT HAS HELPED

This is my first job as a programmer. I am working using the following technologies:
- Javascript
- JQuery
I work for a firm which develops software for small banking firms.
Currently they have their software running in 100 firms. Their software is developed in Visual Fox Pro.
I was hired to develop an online version of this software. I am the only developer.
My boss is another developer, the only other developer in the firm. Therefore, my employer has a total of two developers.
My boss does not have any experience with .NET development. I have been working on this project for 8 months. The progress is there, but has been very slow.
I try my best to do what my boss asks. But the project just seems too ambitious for me.
The company has not done have any planning for the project. They just ask me to develop what their older software provides. So I have to deal with front end, back end, review code, design architecture, and more.
I have decided to give my best. I try a lot. But the project sometimes just seems to be overwhelming.
Question: Is it normal for a beginner programmer to be in this place?
- Are my employers just expecting too much of a new programmer?
- As a programmer, am I lacking skills one needs to deal with this?
I always feel the need to work in at least a small team, if not big one. I am just not able judge my condition. Also I am paid very low salary. I do work on Saturday as well.
Please, help to clarify my judgment. Any suggestions are welcome.

School of Fashion Design and Merchandising News and Events
Kent State Fashion School Demonstrates Major Presence at Top Textiles and Clothing Professional ConferencePosted Nov. 19, 2013
ITAA is the global organization of textile and apparel scholars, and the Kent State contingent is both extensive and active. Sherry Schofield, associate director of the Fashion School, currently serves as ITAA president, while fellow faculty member Harriet McLeod is the ITAA secretary.
Fashion School Director J.R. Campbell remarked, "We are very pleased that the KSU Fashion School boasts such a great participation rate in ITAA, and that our faculty and students have received considerable recognition for their work this year."
Kim Hahn and Jihyun Kim, both associate professors of fashion merchandising, collaborated on two separate award-winning garments. One, titled "Celestial Symphony," was designed an updated cocktail ensemble for professional women.
"Straight and hard lines of the inverted pleats reflect the vigor of the wearer, yet her feminine and soft side is enhanced by the sheer jacket with subtle cloud motifs," wrote Hahn and Kim in their abstract.
Their other garment, "Amber Refraction," drew inspiration from the traditional Korean style of Hanbok, while also incorporating an image manipulated in Adobe Photoshop. "The overall design in this ensemble is a visual bridge that intertwines traditional craft culture and contemporary design technology," Hahn and Kim wrote.
Kent State senior Madison Palen-Michel's dress design netted both a $5,000 cash prize and a prestigious internship with Zandra Rhodes in London. Palen-Michel's design was a byproduct of her previous study at the Paris American Academy.
"While in Paris, we were taught how to create this type of dress as we studied Madame Grès techniques," she explained. "The dress is all hand-sewn and fitted specifically for my body. At ITAA, it was entered in the category that emphasizes technique over design."
The Fashion School was also honored with all three awards presented on behalf of Educators for Socially Responsible Apparel Business (ESRAB) — in the faculty, graduate and undergraduate categories. The faculty winner was Linda Öhrn-McDaniel, associate professor of fashion design, who created a striped knit dress from up-cycled men's business shirts.
"While mountains of trash are piling up, the fashion industry is focused on producing more at lower costs to make higher profits," Öhrn-McDaniel wrote. "This dress is done as a commentary on an industry where the craft is close to lost and the business is in focus."
Meanwhile, graduate student Lisa Arenstein used discarded metal and rubber tubing to create the intricate woven sculpture "Green Lantern." For Arenstein, using repurposed "scrap" materials is a continuation of the resourceful traditions of basketry, and allows her work to "provoke associations with domestic objects while also seeming somewhat toy-like."
Jasmine Kornel won the undergraduate ESRAB award for her "Peace" ensemble — a title that reflects both the aesthetics qualities of the design and its "utilization of sustainable techniques such as natural dyes, natural and organic fibers, and zero-waste patternmaking."
ITAA accepted additional designs by undergraduate students Sylvia Bukowski, Michael Pennick, Will Riddle and Amanda Miller. Those designs appear in the 2013 exhibition catalog — produced by Linda Öhrn-McDaniel, who chaired the design awards committee.

Slap bracelets, overalls, Blossom hats -- we've rounded up the hottest '90s fashion trends. Break out your scrunchies, 'cause we're going old school
"Dawson's Creek," "Titanic," Tamagotchis, the Macarena: The 1990s produced some pretty awesome pop culture gems, no doubt -- oh yeah, also No Doubt. But when it comes to '90s fashion trends, things occasionally got a little ... well, questionable. OK, so it wasn't the most flattering decade, but that's no reason not to look back fondly (and maybe with a little embarrassment).
Click here to see our '90s fashion roundup
To set the mood, let me paint a vivid (if slightly cringe-worthy) picture for you. Me walking down my middle school hallway in the late '90s: My hair is pulled back with a multi-colored scrunchie; I have a stash of Bonne Bell Lip Smackers tucked away in the pocket of my tapered Jordache jeans; and I'm totally into this new group called the Spice Girls, which I listen to on my cutting-edge Discman. Facebook didn't exist yet. No one had cell phones. Justin Bieber was barely three-years-old. It was a simpler time.
I'm not alone in my soft spot for the '90s. When I asked around the office if anyone else was feeling a tad nostalgic for the decade, the answer was crystal clear. "I miss '90s fashion," sighed one editor. "It wasn't always the most stylish, but it was still cool in its own way." And even if you never fully embraced the '90s fashion trends (aka avoided bubble bangs and stonewashed denim), it's still super fun to remember what used to be popular.
So crank up the Ace of Base and break out your slap bracelets, because we're going way, way back to the '90s.

NEW ORLEANS- The lines don't slow down at Langston Hughes Academy because it's got parking just steps from the gates of Jazz Fest. It's a bonus the school has benefitted from for years and so have festers, from near and far, mud and all.
'We've parked here for 20 years,' said Wilks Turney, who came to the festival with his grandson from Pensacola.
'It's just an opportunity for us to bring in some extra money to support our kids,' said Mark Martin, principal of Langston Hughes.
Supporting the school actually means supporting the music program. And music fans are more than happy to contribute.
'It's wonderful for everybody, you can't lose,' said Turney, 'It's a win-win for all the kids. My grandson takes music.'
Martin said, 'We have kids who have never even touched a trombone before who are now, two years later, marching in Zulu so just the difference that the band and music makes in our kids lives, especially in New Orleans.'
The collections also go toward sending kids on end-of-the-year trips, like to Washington D.C. Those keeping the effort alive annually are called the Dreamkeepers. They're volunteers, parents and even the students getting the most out of the money raised.
Jason Michael Plain, an 8th grader said, 'I think it's an outlet. You can express yourself with the music.'
'There's a lot of kids that maybe can't afford to go on the end of year trips and other things that go on with the school so this is a big help,' said mother Angel Hurst.
The school hopes to raise $50,000 this year and leaders say they're well on the way to meeting that goal with one day of Jazz Fest left.

GRENADA - Hebron followed up with their 13 hit, 15 run victory on Monday with another blowout win on the road.
The Lady Eagles scored 14 runs in the first inning on their way to a comfortable 17-0 win over Kirk Academy.
Hebron had just eight hits and every starter scored three runs in the game that lasted just three innings due to the mercy rule.
KEMPER - Hebron gave up a run on a two out error Monday night in the fifth inning. It was their only blemish.
The Lady Eagles pounded out 13 hits on their way to a 15-1 victory over Kemper Academy in district action.
Tori Nichols, who finished 3-for-4 with four runs scored had the game's first RBI in the first inning with a triple knocking home Rebecca Falkner. Nichols later scored on an RBI single by Beverly Blake to give Hebron a 2-0 advantage.
All eyes will be on Mississippi State Thursday night in the season opener for the Bulldogs when they battle Memphis at the Liberty Bowl.
State hopes to continue their impressive finish to last season which included a second straight Egg Bowl victory over Ole Miss and a 52-14 win over Michigan in the Gator Bowl which no doubt set the tone for a good start to 2011 under third year head coach Dan Mullen.
Mullen is 14-11 in his first two seasons in Starkville, tied for third among all coaches in that category.
West Point Green Wave boy's basketball coach Brad Cox gave the Daily Times Leader a sneak peak at the new floor that was recently completed inside the West Point High School Gymnasium.
The floor, which was built when the new gymnasium was constructed over a decade ago required it's annual upgrade which is standard for hardwood floors that go through the wear and tear of basketball games and PE classes.
Over the years, layers of varnish buildup begins to make the flooring too dark and starts to change certain colors on the floor, like white to yellow.
LOUISVILLE - After coming off a tough loss in week one, the Oak Hill Raiders had an even tougher opponent in week two.
Winston Academy had nearly 400 yards of total offense Friday as they rolled to a 41-6 win over the Raiders (0-2)in district action. It was the second straight week the Patriots (2-0) have scored at least 40 points.
"We still got to improve our tackling," Raiders head coach Benjie Merchant said after the game. "We ran the ball a little better, but Winston's a great team. We knew it was going to be tough from the get go and it was."
Mississippi State head basketball coach Rick Stansbury has dismissed freshman D.J. Gardner permanently from the squad.
A release by the school states Gardner was kicked off because of "repeated actions deemed detrimental to the team."
6-foot-7 guard from Okolona was set to red shirt this season and apparently did not like that decision and posted his opinions about it on his Twitter account which has since been deleted.
Oak Hill head football coach Benjie Merchant said the Raiders will have to be mistake free in order to have a chance to defeat Winston tonight. It's the first district battle for both teams slated for 7 p.m. in Lousiville.
The Raiders have had a productive week on the practice field, correcting some issues that cost them an 18-7 loss to Newton County in the season opener.
"It's a slow progress," Merchant said. "In the weight room and just trying to get better all the way around."
West Point Dontavious Bennett is playing the waiting game on whether he made the AAU United States Junior Olympic team.
Bennett competed in the AAU JR OLYMPICS in New Orleans on the 29th of July and finished in second place.
Bennett says it's been a lot of sweating and a lot of tears these last couple of months but he has no regrets. He says he realize he's not gifted or lucky he's just blessed! He thanks God for his athletic abilities.
Hebron Christian School softball coach Cass Tapley continues to learn things about his team.
Thanks to the experience of playing at the College Exposure Tournament at the Starkville Sportsplex on Saturday, the Lady Eagles got plenty of opportunities to improve.
Hebron won one of three games played and Tapley saw some good and bad things during the course of the day.
"It went exactly like I thought," Tapley said. "We are so young and we lost seven seniors from last year."
Marion Bratton might have been a little modest.
After all, the Lady Raiders just finished going 3-0 this past weekend at Starkville Sportsplex- College Exposure Showcase.
"The girls played thier best ball this season," the head coach said. "Errors were way down with solid defense and bats starting to warm up offensively."
Oak Hill out scored their opponents 27-3 and posted two shutouts to move to 8-6 on the season.
Junior pitcher Maime Allen (7-4)earned three victories giving up a combined six hits and just one earned run.

Before applying for college scholarships, consider applying for government grants first. Getting a good college education is important because education is the key to a better future for you and your family. It allows you to get a good paying job and it can give you the skills you need to start your own business. It is therefore unfortunate that many people have to struggle to get a good education. This struggle in search of an education is a struggle based on limited sources of finance to fund college education because of its expensive nature. This expensive nature of college education plunges millions of students into debt every year. You can avoid a debt-ridden life by getting college grants to fund your education. Getting these grants may not be easy but it is not impossible. Here is how you can get college grants and funding.
Understand the Basics
You must understand the basics that come with college grants before you start searching for them. This will help you to know what you should look for. For example, did you know that college grants make up more than forty per cent of student aid while scholarships make up less than two percent? This means that you should focus on college grants as opposed to other kinds of funding since securing a grant is easier than securing a scholarship. Look for need-based grants such as Pell Grants from the federal government or merit-based grants from colleges, charities and state governments.
Look For Institutional Grants
Grants from the federal government, state government and local charities may not be forthcoming. In this case, you can look for institutional college grants from colleges or from your employers. Colleges normally give out these grants to needy students when federal and state grants are not enough. Colleges may also extend these grants to you for various reasons such as exemplary achievements in either sports or academic work. Your employers may also decide to give you a grant because they want a highly skilled and educated worker who already knows how the organization works.
These are the main ways of getting college grants to fund your college education. You can also use a tax break to fund your education. This tax break can reduce your tax bill by as much as two thousand five hundred dollars if your application to receive this tax break is successful. You can improve your chances of obtaining college grants by simply exercising care while filling in your application documents. For example, lack of accuracy or lying on your application forms will seriously hamper your chances of securing a grant. Filling in documents such as the FAFSA i.e. the Free Application for Federal Student Aid can increase your chances of getting college grants to fund your college education.

JACKSON, Tenn. – Oct. 30, 2001 – Prospective students will have an opportunity to take a glimpse of the college experience at the Campus Preview Days to be held Friday, Nov. 2 and Friday, Nov 16 at Union University.

"Our current Preview Day schedule has been very successful in letting students get to know Union University," said Robbie Graves, director of enrollment services.

One-Eyed Willy's Canoe Rentals
372 Corkery Rd.
Lebanon Missouri 65536United States
(417) 993-2628
Editor's Review
This laid-back outfitter will get you set up to float on the Niangua River.
One-Eyed Willie is actually an English bulldog owned by Brian Wilson, a guy who has made a living doing what he loves: drinking beer and floating on the Niangua River. His business has grown through the years from a simple canoe outfitter to include a little food vending business on the river bank, a couple of stores, a handful of cabins and a small RV park. Rent kayaks, canoes or inner tubes; paddle yourself or hire someone to paddle for you. Prices vary depending on the size of your group and time of year.It's fun, low-key and seasonal, just what life is about on the Niangua. If you want to stay there, the cabins are simply "glorified tents," to use Brian's words. There are five, with beds and air-conditioning. Sitting in a semicircle around a playground with picnic tables and grills, each little cabin has a porch swing. The lodge/store has restrooms and showers. There is also a mobile home for rent and new concrete pads for RV campers.

A solid shootin guard who is like Derek Fisher, except that Wesley is 3x as good
A scoring SF. They have absolutely NO ONE who can guard Mashburn. If you put Fox on him, Mashburn has a quickness advantage. If you put Kobe on him, Mashburn can post up on him.
No one on that team can guard McDyess. Period. Well, maybe Shaq.
The X Factor would be Elden Campbell. I think part of him despises Shaq and has a personal problem with the guy.
And our bench blows their bench away. Magloire, Alexander, Nailon is a very solid bench.
I'd still keep Lynch though. He's the only one on the team who can somewhat guard Kobe.

My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
If the hornets can hang on and win, I would vote for Lopez as the player of the game. He has really played hard. Impressive!!
Davis failed initial concussion tests by team doctors. Doctors moving on to physical symptoms.
I would also like to say I told y'all so about Lopez! Nice defense and can put up some points.
Teams:New Orleans Hornets(Pelicans) & Houston Texans
Can someone please attack the rim, we've been in the penalty all Q and only shot 2 FT
No! First they take the ball away from us and now they call that a block!? Ouch
Refs are going to win Utah the game
Team is going to be really competitive once the guys mature a little and the $15 million Gordon money is used for someone else~
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Same as the Spurs game, this is when Gordon would be nice to have. Sorry to bring it up.
The lack of a pg & pure scorer is killing us late in games
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!

"Using MathWorks products, we speeded up the development of a functional prototype that enabled us to prove the feasibility of Perfect Axial Registration."
René van der Meer, Océ
Océ, one of the world's leading suppliers of products and services for professional printing and document management, has developed an innovative color technology that enables a reliable, productive printing system with consistent quality. The Océ CPS700 was the first system using this Direct Imaging technology. It is also the basis of the improved and recently introduced Océ CPS800 and Océ CPS900 systems. Within the research and development department, the feasibility of Perfect Axial Registration for Direct Imaging was demonstrated.
Direct Imaging technology uses seven direct imaging drums with 8,000 electrical conductive tracks on which a monocolor dry toner image is generated by drivers inside the drums. An intermediate drum with a circumference of almost one meter gathers all seven partial images and transfers them in a single pass onto paper, creating the full image.
A small team led by René van der Meer, an Océ researcher dedicated to continuously improving this technology, used MathWorks products at Océ's largest research and development site in Venlo, the Netherlands to prove the feasibility of Perfect Axial Registration in aligning all seven drums during the printing process.
"In just six months, MathWorks tools enabled us to complete a fast, flexible implementation of a Perfect Axial Registration system with low overhead and minimal low-level coding," says Van der Meer.
Perfect Axial Registration requires all 56,000 tracks (7x8,000) to be positioned such that all seven monocolor images are aligned within 20 micrometers of each other.
"Aligning all drums during the print process is an equivalent challenge to parking seven Queen Mary ships to within millimeters of each other," explains Van der Meer. "We brought in mechanical experts to build an accurate frame to hold the drums, but it proved to be economically impossible to achieve the accuracy without an embedded control system."
Because this technique had never been successfully implemented in the industry, the team needed to conduct a feasibility study before developing a real-time prototype of the system.
Using MathWorks products and training, Océ ensured the feasibility of Perfect Axial Registration by designing, modeling, simulating, and generating code for a real-time embedded control system to align the printer drums. The system consists of two charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras to measure toner markers, seven actuators to position drums, and an optimized control strategy to ensure perfect alignment throughout the process without affecting print efficiency.
To confirm the project's feasibility, they used MATLAB®, Data Acquisition Toolbox™, Instrument Control Toolbox™, and Signal Processing Toolbox™ to acquire 500x1,000 pixel images from two linear CCD cameras and to develop measurement algorithms that could measure the relative drum positions with micrometer precision.
Researchers used Simulink® and Stateflow® to design, model, and simulate data acquisition, control logic, and actuation prior to hardware implementation.
They then used Simulink Coder™ to translate the high-level control model automatically into low-level C code. Using Simulink Real-Time™, Océ ran the generated code in real time on standard, low-cost PCs to provide a rapid prototype.
"This approach facilitated parallel development by the three team members with much less overhead due to the high-quality code produced by Simulink Coder," notes Van der Meer.
MathWorks products also helped them improve their models quickly. "When we saw something happening in the behavior of the machine, we could adapt the control strategy and change the model very easily," explains Van der Meer. "We did a lot of iterations, but we did them very quickly."

Is your Honda lacking the power it used to have? Does your Honda idle roughly, miss, hesitate or buck? Do you smell a foul odor from the exhaust? Is your Honda check engine light on? These may all be symptoms that your Honda needs a tune up! At Best Source Import & Domestic Auto Parts, we carry a full line of TUNE UP PARTS for Honda.
Although most modern cars require a complete tune up only every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, if you drive hard or your car is a bit older, your Honda may need a tune-up more often. You should change your Honda's oil filter along with the oil about every 3,500 miles, or possibly longer depending upon the type of oil you use. Keeping your oil clean and full is the single most important thing you can do to keep your Honda running smooth and powerful for a long time, minimizing premature engine wear. If you car is failing your state emissions requirements, or has a foul smelling exhaust, you may need a new catalytic converter and oxygen sensor. Driving hard may also cause premature wear of your brake components, including brake pads and brake rotors. Our online auto parts store carries a full line of OEM (original equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket parts for your Honda, helping the home mechanic tune up his or her own car, with auto parts delivered quickly to your door.

There are many Amouage fragrances that I like, Reflection Man is not one of them.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great fragrance, but it reminds me of a more refined Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier. Therefore, I don't think that it is worth the high price tag and I would rather just stick with buying Le Male since it smells somewhat similar to Reflection Man. What do you guys think?
There are many Amouage fragrances that I like, Reflection Man is not one of them.
Oh, good God, yes.
Yes, it is both overpriced and overrated. I prefer Le Male.
Current top 10 (No order):
1. Pure Havane
2. Menthe Fraiche
3. Tobacco Vanille
4. L'Air Du Desert Marocain
5. Green Irish Tweed
6. Fahrenheit
7. Musc Ravageur
8. Tonka Imperial
9. Gucci Pour Homme II
10. Dior Homme Intense
Of the six I've tried Reflection is the least appealing in my opinion.
Yeah, not a fan of this fragrance at all. The first thing that came to mind after sampling it was that it smelt very similar to Le Male. Definitely a rip off at that price point.
i don't like it either
Nor do I.
I can't stand Le Male but love Reflection. Indeed they share a similar vibe at first but completely different scents then...
I wonder how many of the Reflection haters gave it a full wearing instead of a wrist or a paper test?
I think it is wonderful, uplifting, lasts all day and is unlike anything else I own (that said, I don't own Le Male! But I think the similarities are superficial only).
I argree with Hellhound. Maybe their opening notes smell quite familiar to eachother, but the drydown is completely different. With Amouage, you should test on your skin, let it live and shine. On paper, and with just 10 or 20minutes, I think you can't see the real beauty of Amouage scents. Reflection is a wonderful scent IMO
I personally see no similarity and would take Reflection Man over Le Male any day (even though I enjoy Le Male) but have both in my collection.
I think that the dislike for this fragrance comes from the fact that it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of Amouage's line-up. I do like it and rank it amongst my favourite fragrances. I have no issue paying what Amouage ask for this.

And my Worldwide full bottle sale thread: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/306...S-(UK-EU-only)
I wore it a few times and I got no connection with Le Male. It smelled spicy and that's all. Not very great, but not that bad either.
I like Amouage and own several of their fragrances: Gold, Silver, Dia, Jubilation XXV and Ciel but I did not enjoy Reflection from the sample I had. If you like this kind of style then I think Creeds Himalaya is much better.
Last time I went to the Amouage counter, it was the only tester that was nearly empty. Clearly very popular stuff. I see the comparisons with Le Male. Although even though I have Le Male, Reflection will probably be in my collection at some point.
I like it, price is fine.
(a) Reflection Man is priced at a lower point than some of the others in the line, I believe.
(b) In HK Amouage is usually about 30% lower than in the US and we have no sales tax etc.
(c) I have a 10% VIP discount at Lane Crawford, the sole distributor here.
If you don't like it then no price is going to make you happy. If you unable to discern any difference between Reflection Man and Le Male or whatever then stick with the cheaper one and good luck!

reflection man smells nothing like le male,as for being overpriced i got my bottle for £68 so i'm not complaining lol ..
To me, it only smells like Le Male at the very top and then it's very different the rest of the way through. It's price prohibitive, but IMHO Amouage is of the highest quality. I don't think it's overrated at all.
no, it only smells like bogarts arabian nights awful l may say, but more pleasurable
Reflection Man and Le Male are similar but I find Le Male too creamy and cloying and Reflection Man drier and cleaner.
Quite fond of it in a lurid fascination kind of way. I think it's cool that Amouage broke the line with Reflection Man. No, it does not remind me much of Le Male. I thought it was weird and somewhat horrible on first sniff, but it quickly grew on me. I now own a full bottle, and wear it pretty frequently. As stated elsewhere on BN, one of the tricks to enjoyment of Reflection Man is moderate application. Just a couple of sprays, please. A great scent for a casual day about town.
Overrated? Where? It's extremely underrated on BN.
Overpriced? Not if you enjoy it. In my opinion, LeMale is overpriced as i dislike it.
I think the comparison to LeMale says a lot about the person testing them, in other words, they have a poor sense of smell. They smell nothing alike.
Reflection Man is one of the best from the Amouage line up in my opinion but i can understand why it wouldn't suit everybody. I always receive compliments wearing this beauty.
1. Dior Homme Original
2. Musc Ravaguer
3. Portrait of a Lady
4. Noir de Noir
5. L Instant Guerlain pour Homme Extreme
6. New Haarlem
7. Pure Coffee
8. Blu Mediterraneo Sicilian Almond
9. Rose 31
10. Spiritueuse Double Vanille
Reflection man is one of my least favorite Amouage offerings.
Whether it is overpriced or not is up to Amouage to decide based on sales, cost, etc... Whether or not it is worth it to you, it depends on how much you like it. Not worth it to me...
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
Reflection men is more like feminine then masculine parfume, i tried it and boy was i dissapoited, it lacks originality smells like some gentle cream, and reminds me a lot of carolina herrera sexy men wich i used to wear as deodorant, ofcourse this smell is much more natural and refined, but still i think its a mish mash and am surprised men want to wear such sweet parfume . In general price doesnt necessarily follow value, and men have lost a lot of masculine character, so i am not surprised at all

It's a fantastic fragrance.
I find all of the Amouage EDTs overpriced. That said, I own and enjoy quite a few of them, including Reflection.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
The 2 things that grate a fragrance enthusiast:
1. Declaring 2 very different frags as very similar or interchangeable without properly testing or analysing them e.g: GIT & Cool Water, Reflection and Le Male etc.
2. Dismissing a fragrance due to a higher price. Not saying that price shouldn't be considered or noted but peoples disposable incomes vary, so it's a moot point.
This thread does both.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
I do
Of the ones I've tried it is my least favorite. I find it run of the mill.

I despise Le Male and like Reflection quite a bit. Its actually much closer to APOM by MFK.

[QUOTE=JiveHippo;2701737]I despise Le Male and like Reflection quite a bit. Its actually much closer to APOM by MFK.[/QUOTEO]
I despise all 3! But love LNPH and APLS by MFK.
overpriced/overrated...Le Male gives off to me an actually better, sexier vibe, costs infinitely less, and delivers more on the potency scale.
My sales thread
I'm truly glad I own this. I do not think its overrated and overpriced at all. Great scent, glad I have it in my collection
It's a good fragrance, but I agree it is overpriced, and there are many Amouage fragrances that I would buy before Reflection. JXXV, Honour, Lyric, Memoir, Epic, Dia are all more noteworthy in my opinion.
I should've kindly explained to you that Reflection and Le Male are chalk and cheese, and walked you through the many obvious differences, in notes, blending, and quality; which I didn't.
No offense, but as far as I'm concerned this thread belongs in the just starting out forum. Peace.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
Count me in ...
Here you go, Gabe. This discussion stretches back years - you'll get as much validation and/or dissent as you need in amongst this lot - happy reading
And there's more . . . just type in Reflection Man and hit 'Search'.
First few times I smelt it I like the smell. Even got a 30 ML decant of it now it smells like Fly/bug repellent.
I love the stuff. Like many of the best scents in existence, Reflection Man is extremely underrated. I would happily pay more.
I've never smelled it, but I really dislike Le Male so I doubt that I would like Reflection Man.
I did not like as it gave me that sickly feeling.
All this drama when all one needs to do is sample them and decide for themselves. No doubt some have, and I don't think anyone should cast dispersions on their conclusion whether they feel these fragrances are simmilar or worlds apart. There have been countless fragrances but there has never been correct analysis of any one of them, one which would hold true to everyone. Just as with every other artistic or sensory experience. The value of a truly objective review is reflected in the number that exist (almost none) while the value of a subjective review will generally be gauged by how well it matches with the opinions of others, yet even these things are subject to change.
If i can find one negative in regards Reflection Man, it would be that it isn't the most versatile, it's more of a going out on the town, evening scent. I'm sure that many would disagree with that though
Overpriced? Probably. Overrated? Seems to be more hate for it. To me depends on what you're comparing it to, if you're comparing it to the best of the Amouage line it's nowhere close. If you're comparing it to Le Male, well it's better than that.
just tested reflection man, as i own jpg le male, i must say , i dont know what people are smelling but to even suggest substuting this for le male is honestly a little crazy
this smells wonderful, pure, fresh, natural and quality, yes they smell alike yet big difference quality wise
