IMO, M7 (vintage) is most definitely worth owning. I can't say the same for Dirty English.
Dirty English
Thread: M7 or Dirty English
I had samples of each one, I like both, but don't want to buy both. M7 is too smoky sometimes, but Dirty English doesn't project far enough far anyone else to smell it on me. Help!

I don't know either very well SeanJuan but as a frequent reader and poster in here, clearly M7 has the much better rep and more respect.
Sample both some more, then decide.
M7 imo
Dirty English is somewhat similar to Gucci PH1, but not as good.
I find M7 to smell like a sauna (the scent of the wood without the sweaty people) with a little sweetness to it.
I didnt get a chance to smell it on me but on paper thats how it smelled imo.
you can find dirty english in TJMaxx / Marshalls for really cheap...3.4oz for 20 i think

M7 without a doubt!!!
I actually voted for Dirty English. I have samples of Dirty English and a mini of M7. I haven't really even worn my Dirty English, but I do feel that M7 is gonna be a frag that should only be worn on rare occasions. It is definitely a cold weather scent, and even then, I see it as being a bit rough for daytime use.
M7 by a country mile.

M7 no doubt..
sample M7 Fresh, then make your decision between Fresh & OG M7.
Haven't tried M7, but DE isn't my cup of tea. It's quite dry, and animalic.. has the body odor smell going on. Dirty Ewwglish
It really just depends on your taste. These aren't like two near-identical but differently priced colognes, like say, Creed's GIT or Bond No. 9's Chez Bond (or even GIT vs. Davidoff's Cool Water). These are two very differently priced and completely differently scented colognes. Whereas, like all YSL fragrances, M7 doesn't usually come cheap, Dirty English can be found cheap at many discount department stores or even pharmacies (granted in discount department stores the condition of the product can be extremely rough from being handled, sprayed, and sniffed by dozens of people, and in pharmacies, it's not as cheap.) Not to mention the sheer difference of scent - M7 is a fresh, eager-to-please (IMO) fragrance, Dirty English is a peppery, animalic, "dirty" fragrance - it's out for blood. It's not trying to make anyone happy, and it seems to even trick some people into thinking its fairly good staying power is poor. Really the only thing these two have in common is the wood, and the two types of woods are so different that's not even much in common.
When it all boils down, it's just what you like and what you're willing to pay for.

Voted for M7.I didn't like Dirty English at all.
I'm really suprised that I'm the only one here that suggested Dirty English. M7 is certainly a quality frag, but as a possible signature scent? As for Dirty English, maybe it's not the next great thing, but at least it has some citrus to make it more suitable for summer. Maybe this whole exercise is like the age old question: A punch to the face, or a punch to the gut.
M7 Fresh. M7 is just too much for me. But if you like M7 buy it, its truly original.

M7 is terrific, albeit sometimes difficult to wear out of the house.
Can't speak to Dirty English.
Looking for Hermessence Ambre Narguile and for TFPB Moss Breches (50ml bottle), willing to pay in cashdollars. PM me!
IMHO Dirty English is more wearable on a daily basis. It seems to me that while it is more "dirty", it also hase notes which give it almost universal likability. M7 on the other hand may not be loved by everyone, and may not be wearable every day, but will make you stand out a bit more. I own both, and have both in regular rotation, but find myself reaching for M7 quite a bit more, as it has a certain addictive quality that DE does not have. Good luck choosing, b/c these are both good frags.

M7 all the way for me, it's one of the few fragrances I find lifts my mood. It's not great in hot weather though.
Dirty English is great too and on my shopping list, it's probably easier to wear more often.
bro. coming as basenotes and asking between m7 and dirty english is like going to a gourmet restaurant and asking between easy mac and filet mignon
I didn't like M7 at first, but now it's one of my favorite. Top 5 on my list on the fragrances that I own...
Kind of like that cute girl who had those thick geeky nerdy glasses on. Take off those glasses, and bammm! she's Jessica Alba...what a babe...
Yes... M7!

M7. If you're quite young still, Dirty English, possibly. Something about it reminds me of Eternity for Men and makes it very teenager for me.
M7 doesn't smell like GIT or CW, but it smells as much like DE as GIT smells like CW. GIT and CW have some similarities, but the refined luxuriousness of GIT is the most noticeable character that puts it in a league above CW. It a great analogy and comparison because the same refined luxuriousness of M7 is what puts it in a league above Dirty English. If M7 was as inexpensive as DE I would wear M7 more often. I think M7 and Dirty English are close enough to each other to be worn on 75% of the same occasions. Most Basenote members will be able to distinguish the difference, but I bet less than 50% of the general public would not distinguish the difference if the two frags were not sampled side by side. I wear the Dirty English much more often than the M7. I reserve the M7 for more special occasions. DE is a bit more versatile. DE is still a night clubbing type sent, but it's more like using your regular Corelle china wear as opposed to pulling out the vintage Chinz or whatever. With all that being said, I don't wear either one of them often enough to replace either one of them when the bottles are empty. Even at $20 for the DE, I don't think it's fragrance money well spent. Find some vintage Old Spice. You get a lot more use out of it and believe it or not, a lot more compliments.
M7 hands down by light years

I don't see these 2 frags as related at all, not sure why the poll
Gold or iron...?

I'm still trying to find my love for Dirty English... whereas M7 wasn't too much trouble. :-)
Gold vs Iron. I'll go with that analogy. Forget about the current monetary value of gold and iron.
Gold has very good electrical conduction properties and a few other useful character traits, but people find a lot more used for Iron than Gold. In our life time we will use Iron much more often than gold. Even when a dentist places a Gold filing in a patients mouth, the dentist uses many tools that have at least some Iron in them. Some of the dentists electrical equipment might have some Gold plated connections, but there will be a lot more use of Iron than Gold, even in a dentists office.
Point is, which fragrance will the original poster wear most often. Many will wear M7 more often than DE, but I think DE is a bit more versatile than M7. It's an old poll and post, buy I think the original poster might end up wearing DE more often than M7. I do.
If I had to choose one of the two to wear to a Basenotes party, I would probably go with the M7. If I'm just going bar hopping, I would probably wear the DE.
I hate M7. I personally prefer DE, although it doesn't blow my mind either.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
I like Dirty English but I LOVE M7
M7 is higher quality by far. This is reflected in the price difference, you pick up Dirty English for $25 off amazon
Strong +1!
If this is a matter of simple olfactory quality & pleasure - M7 is very, very good (Vintage, that is) for the genre.
However, if you want something in the genre for cheap (and budget is an issue)...Dirty English. Personally, I think owning both is the right answer because you can apply Dirty English liberally (and reapply for more power/projection/longevity) and not worry about wearing out a 100ml bottle. M7 is something to wear a lot more lightly (because it is so strong) and for special occasion - a very intimate scent.
Oud is very strong in M7, but I find it to be a background note in Dirty English as well...
It's more of a difference between level of quality, not which is "better". That is rhetorical.
Some perfumes are as fragrant as an infants flesh, sweet as an oboes cry, and greener than the spring; While others are triumphant, decadent or rich; Having the expansion of infinite things, like ambergris and musk, benzoin and frankincense, which sing the transports of the mind and every sense.
― Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil & Paris Spleen
M7, because there is no better alternative for that specific style of scent.
DE is bettered by both Yatagan and Idole de Lubin, each which it shares some similarities with.
To my nose, Dirty English doesn't even remotely smell like a 'fragrance'. It's more of a conceptual scent.. an exercise in woods... One I don't particularly care for... M7 on the other hand is alluring, seductive, warm, sexy even. No comparison IMO.

Wishlist: Byredo Pulp, Creed Aventus, Montale Black Aoud, Original Santal, Dior Jules, Invasion Barbare, Pure Distance M
This isn't a fair fight. M7 is a heavyweight and Dirty English is a lightweight. Both are great but I have to go with M7 b/c of longevity and projection.

Izbrano: Cycling Map of Slovenia published
Slovenia's diversity at the meeting point of the Alps, Pannonian Plain and the Mediterranean, and its varied terrain, offer plenty of attractions for cyclists. With the aim of getting the very best out of Slovenia's cycling excursion and holiday possibilities, in the last couple of years the Slovenian Tourist Board has pursued a number of activities to develop and expand the specialised services and facilities for cycling. As part of these efforts, a new informational cycling map of Slovenia was recently published.
The Slovenian Tourist Board in cooperation with the association Pohodništvo & kolesarjenje (Hiking & Cycling) has developed standards to define certain areas as cycling destinations. For the moment there are 14 Slovenian areas with the status of cycling destination, and they are spread across the entire country. A full five cycling destinations lie directly next to the only Slovenian national park - Triglav National Park - two are in the the Pohorje area, while the Notranjska Cycling Park destination has an exceptional diversity, and the Slovenian coast is also a great choice, plus the outstanding destinations around Idrija, Cerkno and in the Koroška region should not be overlooked. The southwest of Slovenia and the area around Moravske Toplice in the far northeast also offer great rides along interesting routes.
In these areas cyclists can make use of 35 cycling information points, where they can obtain maps, details of routes, the possibility of transport between individual cycling destinations and the chance of staying at specialised cyclist accommodation facilities. Cyclist hotels, hostels and tourist farms are divided into five categories. There are also certain campsites that are specially arranged for cyclists.
Although even for cyclists, the distances in Slovenia are relatively short, on some parts of the routes cyclists can opt for other means of transport. Travelling by train is especially practical, since you can take your bike with you. For cycle trips around Slovenia you can hire a cycling guide, who will be able to select the most suitable routes, and since cycling is a very popular leisure pursuit among Slovenians, there are numerous recreational cycling events on offer, as well as major international cycling tournaments.
The new cycling guide and map is published in English, German, Italian and Slovenian. We urge you to take a look at this publication. For online orders click HERE, otherwise you can also pick up a copy directly from Slovenian representative offices abroad.

Kent State Fashion Design Students Head to Beijing to Show in China Fashion WeekPosted Feb. 24, 2011
Select students and faculty from Kent State University's School of Fashion Design and Merchandising will attend China's 2011 Fashion Week in Beijing at the end of March. The invitation, extended by the China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), will provide all-expense paid trips for seven students and three faculty members, compliments of the Beijing Municipal Government who, each year, sponsors an international partner for CAFA China Fashion Week. The seven Kent State fashion design students will show four pieces each from their senior collections.
The offer was extended to J.R. Campbell, director of Kent State's Fashion School, while he was in Seoul, Korea, in November for the 2010 International Fashion Art Biennale. Campbell was there representing Kent State as one of only four Americans invited there to speak. Additionally, Campbell and Vincent Quevedo, Kent State associate professor of fashion design, had submitted a piece titled "DMZ" and were collaboratively awarded the "International Artist of the Year" award for their innovative design.
It was in Seoul that Campbell met Aluna-Yue Lu, dean of the fashion department of China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA). Each year, CAFA has the opportunity to partner with one international school during China Fashion Week. Lu invited Campbell to bring students from Kent State's Fashion School to partner with CAFA. The all-expenses paid invitation is sponsored by the Beijing Municipal Government.
Kent State design students returned from winter break to learn of this competition of sorts. Open to all 49 senior design students, the judging process began less than one month after returning from winter break. All 49 designers were required to have two pieces from their collection completed and ready to present to the committee. The students were critiqued by Campbell and fellow fashion faculty Linda Ohrn-McDaniel, Noel Palomo-Lovinski, Sherry Schofield-Tomschin and Paula Dancie. Finalists were chosen based on the quality and aesthetic of their designs. In addition, all 49 students were asked to elect their top five favorite senior collections. Out of the 49 competing senior design majors, the group was whittled down to 13 semi-finalists in one day. Those 13 then continued on to one-on-one interviews with the committee. Ultimately, the seven finalists were selected.
"The seven students are now feverishly finishing their four-piece collections in time for our trip," said Linda Ohrn-McDaniel, one of the three faculty members accompanying these sudents to Beijing. "This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them. This event could catapult their careers overnight."
The seven finalists are Bethany Clark, Abigail Drake, Zachary Hoh, Vanecia Kirkland, Staci Moening, Caitlin Nugent and Samantha Woodard. Campbell, along with faculty members Ohrn-McDaniel and Schofield-Tomschin, will accompany the students to Beijing where they will stay for seven days. The runway event is tentatively scheduled for March 29.

Using a sophisticated but non-invasive laser light scattering technique, scientists at the University of Arizona have determined a wide variety of elastic properties of the silk in several intact spiders' webs, a university release reported.
"Spider silk has a unique combination of mechanical strength and elasticity that make it one of the toughest materials we know," chemistry and biochemistry Professor Jeffery Yarger said. "This work represents the most complete understanding we have of the underlying mechanical properties of spider silks."
Spider silk is a biological polymer, related to collagen in skin and bones but much more complex in its structure, the researchers said.
The researchers said studying its molecular structure could lead to materials ranging from bulletproof vests to artificial tendons.
"This information should help provide a blueprint for structural engineering of an abundant array of bio-inspired materials, such as precise materials engineering of synthetic fibers to create stronger, stretchier, and more elastic materials," Yarger said.

Troopers track areas where windshields take a beating

Sgt. Kirk Rudeen measures to ensure that a pile of recycled concrete won't fall out of a truck on Highway 522 near Monroe on Thursday.

Samuel Wilson / The Herald
Washington State Patrol Sgt. Kirk Rudeen measures to ensure that a pile of recycled concrete won't fall out of a truck on Highway 522 near Monroe on Thursday.
Horrible homonym aside, local troopers are fielding plenty of calls these days from steamed drivers who've experienced the ubiquitous thwack-turned-crack of wayward road debris.
"We have all been there," patrol Sgt. Greg Erwin said. "We have all got them."
That paralyzing second of fear soon turns into seething sticker shock.
What those callers to the State Patrol might not realize is troopers keep track of where the complaints are coming from and target areas to track down truckers with leaky loads.
They were out in full force Thursday morning in an area stretching from Monroe to Maltby and Woodinville.
"It's a huge pet peeve with people who live out here," State Patrol Sgt. Kirk Rudeen said. "It's a big expense for them."
During the past two years, troopers statewide have pulled over more than 12,000 drivers suspected of hauling unsecured loads. They've also handed out more than 1,600 tickets and given than 10,000-plus written and verbal warnings. An unsecured load can result in a $216 fine under state law.
There wasn't much drama on Thursday's patrol.
Troopers say word travels fast among commercial truckers when they're out and about.
"I look at myself as a driver behavior-modification expert," said trooper Doug Sackman of the commercial vehicle enforcement division.
Or, as Rudeen puts it, "As soon as the word gets out, all of a sudden the loads go down and the tarps go up."
Rudeen spent more than two hours driving a loop along Highway 522 and Highway 9 in a black unmarked SUV.
He pulled over one truck hauling 2 to 4 inch chunks of recycled concrete. The sergeant climbed atop one of the back tires and took measurements to make sure the load was separated low enough from side boards to keep debris from spilling out.
"All in all, he did a good job loading it," he said, letting the driver continue on his way without an infraction. "The vast majority of trucks are very responsible. It's a small percentage that create the problems, which is why we are out here."
Robin Abel, of Renton, has dedicated herself to getting commercial truckers and everyday drivers to think hard about unsecured loads.
She knows firsthand the devastation they can cause.
In 2004, her daughter, Maria Federici, then 27, was critically injured on I-405 when a piece of particleboard smashed through her windshield. It blinded the young woman and resulted in many surgeries, including facial reconstruction. At the urging of Federici's family and friends, the Legislature passed Maria's Law, which toughened penalties for drivers whose unsecured loads cause accidents.
Abel also pushed for a national study that found unsecured loads result in about 440 deaths and 10,000 injuries each year. Those figures are low because of the way some states code their accident reports, she said.
Abel also is continuing to push for legislation requiring commercial trucks to cover dirt, sand, rocks and gravel. She's been going straight to company presidents to ask for their voluntary cooperation.

I was at the age of fifteen when I first began wearing this great fragrance. I wore it for about 8 years and then suddenly it disappeared from the market. I looked for it everywhere for years. Then I gave up. Then one day I came up to it at fragrancex which felt like coming up to a very old friend after years. Fragrancex really offers a great price for this matchless perfume. I often try new fragrances on the market but always keep a bottle of Versus and wear it at least two days a weak. The reason why you should try it is that you never have the feeling of "likeness or resemblance" with versus. You can wear it anytime, day, evening, home, at work... Everyone shall be asking you what it is, but you will be reluctant to say so because you won't wish to share this admiration with anyone

i had not purchased this fragrance in a while and I was a bit disappointed - i remember it to be a much stronger perfume. Maybe this is a lighter version of the original fragrance so I would say it is more a of daytime fragrance. Does not hold but it's still a good scent to have.

Very Pleased
I was surprised with how easy the whole invitation process was. We were able to order our customized sample, make our changes, and order the final product with no hassle. Plus, at checkout I googled promo codes and got $75 bucks off. I had initially started working with another website but they wouldn't even let me order a sample. So glad we found Magnet Street! We got several compliments on the invitations and were completely satisfied.
Quick and fast! Able to accomodate many colors in the design. Designed and ordered and arrived 5 days later. Had a little bit of difficulty with the design tool - if you use internet explorer instead of another internet application it works better.
Exactly as pictured
My invitations came out exactly as they were pictured, I was very happy with the flexibility to add additional elements, the quality, the design, everything!
beautiful result!
We tried different ways to personalize as an older couple's wedding. Great input and help from staff. Wide flexibility in print options made the difference.
excellent wedding invitation ensemble
The Magnet Street website was a real life saver for us! We ordered save the date magnets and were so pleased with the process that we ordered the wedding invitations. This site allowed us to design drafts and share them long distance until we could settle on what we wanted. We were able to change designs to match our colors, order several different designs of "Just one" samples and be able to get a real feel for what the end product would look and feel like and then apply that cost to our final order. My daughter is in Medical School, doing rotations, and has no time for wedding planning, appointments etc. so this website made what otherwise would have been a difficult process easy for us to accomplish long distance. THANK YOU!

I just saw a trailer for it. It gave me the impression it's about a woman who falls in love and has erotic sex with an intellectual. Why not bypass the book and just make it an adventure in erotica?

MEBANE — There's a dilemma for Eastern Alamance boys' basketball coach Jay McPherson when he recounts the unfathomable finish to the team's last game.
Does he rehash the waning seconds of regulation, when Lamont Robinson's four-point play extended the game against host Westover?
Or is it the final launch from Robinson near midcourt line, the one in overtime that found the mark — with the horn sounding with the ball in the air — that sent the Eagles to the Class 3-A East Regionals?
"The second one shocked me because after the first one, I didn't think it could happen again," McPherson said. "Two miracles."
So the end-of-game situations didn't translate to end of the season for Eastern Alamance.
The 86-84 third-round victory with the highlight-worthy clips also gave the Eagles a school-record 25 wins. They'll take a 25-5 record into Friday night's regional semifinal match up with Oxford Webb (24-5) at Fayetteville's Crown Coliseum.
The memories of the previous Friday night in Fayetteville won't soon fade.
Robinson, a junior guard with a penchant for big shots, ranks his most-recent delivery as the most significant.
"That's probably the biggest," Robinson said Wednesday. "That's our season. Our season on the line. If it misses, we have to get ready for next year. I wasn't ready for that."
So a recap of all this is appropriate, if not scintillating, when reviewing the Eastern Alamance video.
Eastern Alamance trailed 77-73 in regulation before the latest round of heroics that boosted the Eagles' winning streak to 16 games.
Robinson's four-point play when he hit a 3-point basket after he was shoved — knocking him almost sideways ("It was a tackle," Robinson said of the foul) — with 11 seconds left in regulation was a preview of more drama.
"They had two people on me," Robinson said. "I wanted to get it off and give it a chance. I was sideways. I had to find a way to get it up there."
McPherson said that might be his favorite sequence, realizing the degree of difficulty in Robinson making the basket.
It might have gone for naught if not for another comeback in the extra period.
"We just never gave up," center Jayln Riley said.
The Eagles looked at an 84-81 hole when Robinson retrieved a missed shot and was fouled with four seconds remaining in overtime. He made both free throws.
Eastern Alamance's Malcolm Summers fouled on the inbounds pass, without any time going off the clock.
"That was a huge play," McPherson said.
It also sent Summers to the bench with his fifth foul. In retrospect, that was convenient because he had a nice vantage point for what was to come.
When the Wolverines failed to covert, Sae'Quahn Rogers secured the rebound and sent an outlet pass to Robinson.
"I looked up at the clock," Robinson said of moving along the right side of the court.
Four dribbles later with a full head of steam, stepping right about on the midcourt stripe as he set to launch the Eagles into the regionals …
"I said, 'Here it goes' and I shot," Robinson said. "It felt perfect and it went in."
Then, history will take a slight pause.
The Eastern Alamance videographer — in understandable excitement — moves in such a way that there's a blur of a second or two before refocusing on players who've poured onto the court in celebration.
"It was crazy. It was unbelievable," Summers said. "I kind of knew it was going in. … I was up. I was cheering for him. You keep playing until you're out of time."
Those five points in four seconds for Robinson took his total to 36 points in the game. He said his last shot was taken under a basic premise.
"Get it up there and give it a chance," Robinson said. "They expect me to do it."
McPherson said in the previous timeout the overriding instruction was to box out and get the ball to Robinson. It worked out perfect.
"We boxed out," McPherson said. "We got lucky. We'll take it."
From the final minute of regulation, Westover appeared in position to end Eastern Alamance's season for the second year in a row.
"That's just an example of just not giving up and hoping for the best," McPherson said. "The kids didn't quit. Even when it looked like it could have been (the end), Robinson pushed it to get it …. We got it into overtime."
On the bus ride back to Mebane, the Eagles could plan for another week of basketball.
McPherson tried to make sense of it all.
The players reviewed the season and came up with seven times when Robinson made buzzer-beating shots at the end of a quarter. Not all from that distance.
His knack for these shots started well before this season. As a freshman, he hit the winning shot in his first game at Southern Alamance.
Last season, his putback off a rebound was enough to edge visiting Western Alamance.
There was a long toss against McMichael at a halftime horn last season. And in December, there was a buzzer basket against Danville George Washington.
"He has done it before," McPherson said. "He has hit a bunch of them from halfcourt. Not in overtime."
Indeed, seeing a heave from halfcourt for Robinson is far from new material for his teammates.
"It's all the time," Summers said. "That's why we weren't too surprised. It was a real good time to do it."

Ok, next door (http://www.fantasyfl...46&efidt=719238) there has already been some discussion about the Edge of the Empire Beginner Game and how the concept of an easy entry point to the game might be transfered to WFRP. There are some beginner boxes out there (for DnD or Pathfinder, for example). Could that work for WFRP, 3e? Should it be done, and if yes, how? Or is it too late? I noticed that Paizo has put up a free "transition" PDF for its Beginner Box. It's intended to ease the step between the rules-light B-Box and the 500+pages core rules - and it even tells the GM how to adapt adventures modules so they can use them with the rules-light version. And it demonstrates this with a free adventure… Bravo! That's really neat.
I'd like to see something similar for WFRP3.
So, what do think should be included in the box, what might be left out - and how can the transition to the full (and expensive) rules be softened?

As far as I know, the doctrine of non-attachment to self is in fact a core Buddhist doctrine. Any practioner, transgender or not, has to confront this one, and it is perfectly fine to ask a transgender person how that works out in their practice. A certain bias may show itself if the questioner assumes that the issue is somehow larger for a transgender person.
So, I would like to ask that
1) There be no further accusations of bigotry
2) That questions should be carefully examined before posting to be sure they do not contain challenges or attacks on lifestyle choices, and that they are not susceptible to mis-interpretation along those lines.
And BTW Sarah tnks for the thread, its been a bit of an eye-opener for me and I think you have handled things very well.

With her sister having graduated,
But then she thought better of it.
"I wanted to, but…," the younger Leyble said before practice Monday as the Cardinals (
"But I did think about it. I took it home one day and then I brought it back."
More than that, she told Haley Andrews, the only freshman on the varsity, it was OK with her if she wore her sister's number.
"She felt good wearing Morgan Leyble's number,"
And while
"I was hoping to play with her because we play good together, but it's really different,"
But …
"Every time the team scores or I score she's not there to hug me. It's just different. Whenever she'd be in the newspaper, it was like, 'The Leyble sisters.' There's one now,"
"She's played with a lot of these girls growing up in club ball and stuff. So it hasn't really been a big transition," Miller said. "I think she misses having her sister on the field. The other girls are just like sisters to her. So it's not that big of a transition."
Taylor, who is second on the team with 12 goals and tied for second with 7 assists, even played her sister's old position in the middle for a time this season before moving back to the outside on the right.
"We actually tried her a little bit in the middle in Morgan's old spot at attacking mid. She just wasn't really getting involved in the offense so we slid her back out wide and if you look over the past four or five games since we made that adjustment, she's scored a handful of goals and got a couple assists," Miller said.
"She's a workhorse. She plays hard and does a lot of things that are good for the team."
"Honestly, I feel more comfortable in the middle," she said. "But he (Miller) felt more comfortable with me on the outside. He said I do better, like I make better opportunities from the outside.
"I guess I have lately, but I do like playing midfield and I also feel good playing my sister's position. But since I've been playing outside I've been doing a lot better in helping the team out. So I guess it's better with me out there."
Wherever she plays, Miller said Leyble is the Cardinals' "sparkplug."
"Her work ethic, her go-get-it mentality really kind of gets us going," he added. "When she's really working her butt off, and even though she gets frustrated because things aren't working for her, she's really making us work. The girls kind of feed off of her work ethic."
No doubt the Cardinals will need that work ethic tonight when the take on the Vikings in the first of two regular-season matches as well as, if history is any guide, a third meeting in the state playoffs.
The team's last met May 17 when the Vikings beat
Whether it's in the playoffs or the regular season, however, this is a match both teams look forward to. Miller said he saw White Oak junior defender Rachel Krueger at the OCSA fields Sunday and was quickly reminded, as if he'd forgotten, that the first meeting between the rivals was on the horizon.
"She's like, 'All right, Tuesday you're the enemy,'" Miller said with a laugh. "That's the mentality the girls have, 'Hey, this is a war.' But the time leading up to it they'll all be friends. They get on the field and they hate each other, and as soon as it's over they're back to how it is normally.
"It's a lot of fun. Everybody looks forward to it."
"It's a big deal. It's different playing them because they step their game up and we step our game up," she said. "White Oak's probably the biggest game I look forward to, especially because the whole town comes. Everybody's expecting something. It's always a good game."

Dumping syndrome is a group of symptoms that are most likely to develop if you've had surgery to remove all or part of your stomach, or if your stomach has been surgically bypassed to help lose weight. Also called rapid gastric emptying, dumping syndrome occurs when the undigested contents of your stomach move too rapidly into your small bowel. Common symptoms include abdominal cramps, nausea and diarrhea.
Most people with dumping syndrome experience symptoms soon after eating. In others, symptoms may occur one to three hours after eating. Some people experience both early and late symptoms.
Dumping syndrome is managed by adjusting your diet. In more-serious cases of dumping syndrome, you may need medications or surgery.
Symptoms of dumping syndrome are most common during a meal or within 15 to 30 minutes following a meal. They include:
Signs and symptoms also can develop later, usually one to three hours after eating. This is due to the dumping of large amount of sugars into the small intestine (hyperglycemia). In response, the body releases large amounts of insulin to absorb the sugars, leading to low levels of sugar in the body (hypoglycemia). Symptoms of late dumping can include:
A study of more than 1,100 people who had their stomachs surgically removed found that about two-thirds experienced early symptoms and about a third experienced late symptoms of dumping syndrome. Some people experience both early and late signs and symptoms.
No matter when problems develop, however, they may be worse following a high-sugar meal, especially one that's rich in table sugar (sucrose) or fruit sugar (fructose).
Contact your doctor if any of the following apply to you.
In dumping syndrome, food and gastric juices from your stomach move to your small intestine in an uncontrolled, abnormally fast manner. This is most often related to changes in your stomach associated with surgery, such as when the opening (pylorus) between your stomach and the small intestine (duodenum) has been removed during an operation.
The pylorus acts as a brake so that stomach emptying is gradual. When it's removed, stomach material dumps rapidly into the small intestine. The ill effects of this are thought to be caused by the release of gastrointestinal hormones in the small intestine, as well as insulin secreted to process the sugar (glucose).
Dumping syndrome can occur after any operation on the stomach as well as after removal of the esophagus (esophagectomy). Gastric bypass surgery for weight loss is the most common cause today. It develops most commonly within weeks after surgery, or as soon as you return to your normal diet. The more stomach removed or bypassed, the more likely that the condition will be severe. It sometimes becomes a chronic disorder.
Several types of surgery increase your risk of dumping syndrome. These include:
Certain underlying conditions and medications also may make you more susceptible to dumping syndrome. These include:
In people with severe cases of dumping syndrome, marked weight loss and malnutrition may occur. Sometimes people who lose a lot of weight may also develop a fear of eating, related to the discomfort associated with the rapid dumping of undigested food. They may also avoid outdoor physical activity in order to stay close to a toilet. Some have difficulty keeping a job because of their chronic symptoms.
If you have signs and symptoms of dumping syndrome, you're likely to first see your family doctor or a general practitioner. However, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating digestive system disorders (gastroenterologist).
Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time with your doctor. List your questions from most important to least important. For dumping syndrome, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask questions anytime that you don't understand something.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Your doctor may use some of the following methods to determine if you have dumping syndrome.
Most cases of dumping syndrome improve as people learn to eat better for the condition and as the digestive system adjusts. There's a good chance that changing your diet will resolve your symptoms. (See recommendations under Lifestyle and home remedies.) If it doesn't, your doctor may advise medications or surgery to address the problem.
Your doctor may prescribe certain medications to slow the passage of food out of your stomach, and relieve the signs and symptoms associated with dumping syndrome. These drugs are most appropriate for people with severe signs and symptoms, and they don't work for everyone.
The medications that doctors most frequently prescribe are:
Because octreotide carries the risk of side effects (diarrhea, bulky stools, gallstones, flatulence, bloating) in some people, doctors recommend it only for people who haven't responded to other treatments and who are not candidates for surgery.
Doctors use a number of surgical procedures to treat difficult cases of dumping syndrome that are resistant to more conservative approaches. Most of these operations are reconstructive techniques, such as reconstructing the pylorus, or they're intended to reverse gastric bypass surgery.
A last resort for people who are not helped by any other treatment is to insert a tube into the small intestine through which nutrients can be delivered.
Here are some dietary treatment strategies that your doctor may recommend and that you can do on your own. They can help maintain good nutrition and minimize your symptoms.
Even with dietary changes, you may continue to experience symptoms associated with dumping syndrome.
Some people use supplements such as pectin, guar gum, black psyllium and blond psyllium to thicken the digestive contents and slow its progress through the intestines. If you decide to try a supplement, discuss it with your doctor to learn about any potential side effects or interactions with other medications you're taking.

Lake Stevens wrestlers beat Snohomish, clinch title
Then the Vikings took over.
In a battle of the top two teams in the Wesco 4A North, the Panthers won the first, last and one match in between as Lake Stevens defeated Snohomish 51-12 to win the meet and clinch the league title.
"We knew we were going to have to wrestle pretty flawless to come out on top (against Lake Stevens)," Snohomish head coach Rob Zabel said.
Vikings' head coach Brent Barnes said that his team wasn't especially nervous for Tuesday's meet, even with the Wesco 4A North title on the line.
"We work hard so we don't really have to be nervous," Barnes said. "When you work hard, you take that onto the mat."
On senior night, four Lake Stevens seniors won their matches to help the Vikings pad their score.
After Snohomish senior Jacob Proffit won a 5-1 decision at the 152-pound match in the opening bout of the night, Vikings' senior Blake Sander responded with a 10-1 major decision over Tanner Perry, another senior, at 160-pounds to put Lake Stevens up 4-3.
The Vikings didn't trail the rest of the way.
"Our seniors really stepped up," Barnes said. "Blake Sander won a good match against a senior. That was a huge match. Two great kids. ... That was fun to see."
Shaquille Reed (220 pounds), Brandon Johnson (285 pounds) and Jesse Peterson (138 pounds) were the other Lake Stevens' seniors to win their respective matches.
They weren't the only ones. The Vikings (4-0 league, 14-4 overall) won 11 of the 14 matches with three pins, two technical falls (which occurs when a wrestler is up by 15 points), two major decisions, three decisions and a forfeit due to a Snohomish injury.
Barnes wasn't sure how many consecutive Wesco North titles this was for Lake Stevens, but he was proud of another streak the Vikings kept going.
"We really aren't in the counting mode just yet (for league titles)," Barnes said. "But I can tell you, the last time we lost in this gym most of these wrestlers were not even born yet."
Peterson's bout was the closest match of the day, with him grappling to a 5-4 decision over Snohomish senior Greg Eagle.
A young Viking, sophomore Alex Rodorigo, clinched the Lake Stevens victory with a 13-0 major decision in the 120-pound meet. Freshman Jake Douglas followed that up with a 12-6 win in the 126-pound bout that was tied at 3-3 going into the third and final period.
"We want to be consistent with how we practice, wrestle and perform," Barnes said. "I think they went out and did that."
The Proffits bookended the meet with wins for Snohomish (2-1, 8-2). Jacob Proffit, the senior, started the night with a 5-1 decision at 152-pounds. Sophomore Joseph Proffit (145-pounds) closed it out with an 8-5 decision.
"(The Proffits) are great kids. They do everything you ask of them," Zabel said. "I've got a whole team full of great kids."
The Panthers' other victory came from Tristen Baus, who pinned his opponent in the 195-pound battle in 1 minute, 20 seconds.
"It's a good rivalry," Barnes said of Vikings'-Snohomish showdowns. "It's always a match we have to step up for."
Zabel said that he hopes his team can use Tuesday's meet as motivation going forward as the Panthers prepare for the district tournament Feb. 1-2.
"I don't think this is something you forget about," Zabel said. "This is something we use as a reminder that we've come a long ways, but still have a ways to go.
"... Older, wiser coaches probably say, 'This is one you've got to put behind you,'" Zabel continued. "I don't think we put this behind us. I think we use it as a reminder."
